"Sales (at the Exposition) totaled 25,000 metric tons of rough and milled rice and were all to Alimport, Cuba's food import agency. The sales were for cash payable though third country banks as required by U.S. law," says Bill Reed, Riceland vice president and spokesman.
The sale followed several tours of Cuba by Riceland's farmer-members and officials, goodwill gestures and continued efforts by Riceland to win passage of legislation reforming the United States' 40-year-old ban on open trade with Cuba.
Last year, those at Riceland were rewarded for their efforts through U.S. sales of 71,600 metric tons of rice to Cuba. Those sales (Riceland's share – 22,500 tons of milled and rough rice – was reportedly worth $4 million) marked the first time in nearly 40 years that Cuba had purchased U.S. rice and made the country the 14th largest importer of the U.S. grain.
Late last month, to the delight of U.S. agriculture interests, the door to Cuba's markets was pried open a fraction more. Contracts with a number of U.S. companies, totaling some $90 million, were signed at the U.S. Food and Agribusiness Exhibition held in Havana.
The agribusiness "fair" ran from Sept. 26 to Sept. 30 and ended with chief Cuban trade officials saying other deals – potentially $13 million worth of deals – are still being hammered out.
Since last November, Cuba has purchased over $140 million worth of U.S. food. The Havana fair was only the latest gambit to attract Cuban cash and further open the island-nation's markets.
"Riceland officials believe Cuba's purchases this year will far exceed those of last year…Cuba is very interested in working with us, and we see that as very important to the U.S. rice industry," says Riceland's Reed.
It isn't just grain that Cuba is after. The fair also produced a $75,000 deal with Minnesota's Kaehler's Homedale Farms for 50 beef cattle and 3 breeding bulls.
Archers Daniels Midland reportedly signed contracts worth $17 million.
And after the signing of a $17 million-plus deal (the largest of the fair) with Minneapolis-based Cargill, Inc., Cuban President Fidel Castro said the obvious: "The (U.S. trade) embargo has been weakening." The Cargill deal will send soybeans, soybean oil, turkey and corn to Cuba.
U.S. agribusiness insiders say that while Congress appears ready to weaken or entirely remove the embargo, the Bush administration remains reticent to do so. Several key industry players say if there was a vote in Congress to lessen or do away with the embargo, it would likely pass.
If all sanctions were removed, several things would happen that would bolster U.S./Cuban trade, say the observers. First, U.S. tourist dollars would flow into Cuba and would generate spending for U.S. products. Second, Cuba would have access to U.S. credit facilities for making large purchases.

College of Notre Dame, 18
Farmingdale State, 10
Baltimore, Md. � The College of Notre Dame of Maryland closed its regular-season schedule with an 18-10 non-conference victory over Farmingdale State College on Saturday afternoon at Alumnae Field.
Senior midfielder Tina Money (Shady Side, Md./Queen Anne's County High School) and junior midfielder Anne Shippen (Mount Airy, Md./Glenelg Country Day School) each scored four goals for Notre Dame. Money had two assists, and Shippen had one.
Money put the Gators on the scoreboard 43 seconds into the game off an assist by Shippen. The Rams (7-6) then tied the score on an unassisted goal by senior attacker Natalie Budinich (East Northport, N.Y./Commack) 28 seconds later.
Notre Dame went on 12-0 run over the next 24 minutes to take a 13-1 lead with 11:49 to play in the first half.
Money scored all four of her goals during that stretch, while junior attacker Amelia Yatto (Crofton, Md./St. Mary's High School) scored two of her three goals.
After Notre Dame took a 13-1 lead, Farmingdale scored six of the next seven goals to close to deficit to 14-7. The Gators, however, again went on a run, scoring five of six goals, three by Shippen.
Money led all players with nine draw controls and six caused turnovers in the game.
Budinich led the Rams with three goals, while sophomore midfielder Nicole Brett (Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon), sophomore midfielder Theresa Rokee (Lindenhurst, N.Y./Lindenhurst) and freshman midfielder Jennifer Jung (New Hyde Park, N.Y./Herricks) all scored two.
With an over .500 record for the first time in program history, Farmingdale State will await the possibility of an ECAC bid next week.

CES 2010: Plextor Launches SSDs and New 24x External Writer with eSATA Dual Interface
Subject: Storage | January 10, 2010 - 02:36 AM | Allyn Malventano
PCPer has gone quite a while without delving into optical storage, and it's high time we start taking a crack at it. We'll kick it off with Plextor's announcement at CES - SSD's!. Plextor will be producing drives based on the Marvell chipset. While we haven't seen production models of this new controller in our lab as of yet, we should have something cooking shortly. The new Plextor units are expected to start shipping in this quarter (Q1 2010) in capacities of 64 and 128GB.
We expect the PX-880UE to look identical to the existing PX-880U.
CES 2010: Plextor Launches SSDs and New 24x External Writer with eSATA Dual Interface
Plextor's first line of solid-state drives and the new PX-880UE external eSATA writer announced at CES
(Las Vegas, NV Mirage Suite – January 6, 2010) – Plextor LLC (www.plextor.com), a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance digital media equipment, announces its first line of solid-state drives (SSDs), as well as the new PX-880UE 24X external eSATA writer, at CES. Plextor will be located in the Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions (PLDS) suite in the Mirage.
Plextor introduces its first generation of SSDs, using non-volatile NAND Flash memory as the storage medium. The new SSDs, which utilize Marvell controller chipsets, deliver faster speeds for system boot-up, application launch and file transfer, lower power consumption and longer battery life, among other benefits. They will be available as 64GB or 128GB in the first quarter of 2010.
Equipped with Plextor's unique Wear Leveling algorithm, Plextor SSDs can prevent degradation of drive performance and prolong product life. Based on PCMark and SYSMark benchmark tests, Plextor SSDs were the only drive that maintained the same level of performance regardless of whether or not the drives were clean or dirty.
"Plextor has a lot of new items in the works, and we're excited to announce our first line of SSDs to meet consumers' demand for low power consumption, enhanced performance and reliability," said Christine Hsing, Marketing Manager at PLDS. "The new eSATA drive is a great move forward for us as well – it further expands consumers' options by providing both a SATA and a USB 2.0 connection."
The new PX-880UE is a 24X external DVD/CD writer which offers both an eSATA and USB 2.0 dual connection for faster speed, performance and versatility. The drive also features Plextor's own PlexERASE and PlexUTILITIES, as well as LightScribe for quick and simple disc labeling.
The recently-released 12X internal Blu-ray writer, the PX-B940SA, is also available for demonstration in the suite. The drive provides users with a convenient solution for Blu-ray playback, while simultaneously offering increased storage capacity with BD writing capabilities. Bundled with CyberLink's TrueTheater™ HD technology, consumers can easily boost DVD video and audio quality to achieve HD-like results and smoother playback.

Three of Diamonds Birth Card
Qualities of the Birth Card are modified by astrological influences of planets associated with the Sun position at the moment we are born. If you are born on April 18, 1980, the planetary ruler for your astrological sign (Aries) is Mars. Your Sun is positioned approximately in the Third decan of Aries, ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. Find out the exact degree of your Sun placement to make sure your Planetary and Decanate cards are correct.All Threes inhibit the creative drive that seeks expression. Number 3 departures from the Number 2 - the source of balance and harmony, and so it's always looking to find this balance in creating something new. There is an urge in self-expression and variety. The prime concern is more likely to pertain in the realm of values. But what is affecting Three Of Diamonds judgments and attitudes is the symbol of Divine Wisdom that marks the central point of the mind. Security is very important, and at the same time their quest for freedom and exploration of the world adds extreme diversity into their character and keeps them on the road of uncertainty.
At the one end of the spectrum of possibilities, the Three Of Diamonds indicates bright, creative personality. On the other - they are often confused and worrisome. They are always trying to gain the whole world, suppressing their fear to jeopardize their soul in the process. Aspiration gives way to ambition, and their drive for material security can help to acquire great wealth. Intuitive mentality can be very useful in careers involved handling of money. A tendency to become anxious under restrictive regulations suggests to choose occupations and activities which will allow the natives of this card to enjoy a sense of freedom. They find the best success in people related activities.
The Three of Diamonds possesses desire for Truth and great potential in spiritual teaching, but it is not always sought beyond the limits of expediency. Among them, there is a full realization that they are but agents and trustees of whatever gifts they have and that their minds must always be kept on a higher levels in order to receive direction and inspiration that will not fail them. Some sort of unhappiness in early childhood usually related to parents may create very serious outlook of life. Or there might be something like a heavy religious experience, which may seem so suppressive that they have rebelled. If there is not call for higher wisdom, there is a high possibility that they can become very secretive in communications and even serve in secret agencies.
Many Three Of Diamonds become actors, writers, politicians (especially those who born on August 10). Very flexible and creative, inventive and energetic, they are passionate to explore the world of possibilities and eager to add new creations to the world. Business or occupation related to travel and the wide variety of action is the best fit and brings great financial benefits. They are not created for any sorts of routine that kills their enthusiasm through boredom. In business, they should seek associates among powerful and influential friends. Working in harmonic friendly environment is an essential key to success.
There is an element of sacrifice present. Whether it will be a loved one, who needs their help or heavy work responsibilities, but the Three of Diamonds are often feel like a martyr. They respond to a call for help with such a degree of readiness and compassion that might come as surprise not just to others who knew them for a while but even to themselves. Once they accept the responsibility of service through love, they will uncover a tremendous spiritual healing power inside themselves.

Sorting Out Contradictions in Ancestry.com Member Trees
I'm having some trouble figuring out how to handle this via the blogosphere. What should I post regarding public member trees on Ancestry?
The bottom line is that I will have to spend some more time writing this report, since there are many conflicts to resolve. I will also be contacting the owners of the trees once I do that, so that we can (hopefully) work together to figure out the facts regarding our common ancestors.
4 comments:
I am relatively new to this blogging stuff, but I have come across your blog by just randomly looking around the blogspot site. I have also had the same problem with some of my research, where ancestry member trees are in conflict with each other. I have 2 lines (Hale and Smith) where I can prove some trees wrong in the information they have, but even provided all the evidence, they still refuse to remove the wrong information from their tree. The wrong information seems to get spread more about ancestry since it "looks pretty" and "seems to fit" but looking closely at records it all falls apart.
I have been trying to write a post about all this as well, regarded specifically my Hale family and I have started by laying out my evidence for why my information is correct and the other is wrong without calling anyone out in particular. I really do not want to offend any of my fellow researchers/cousins but at the same time I do not want people believing their ancestors are one couple when in fact it is a completely different family.
One more thing, then I will stop. I noticed your list at the bottom of your blog with lists of sites what are useful for researchers. Another one is familysearch.org. They have a lot of searchable records from census records, birth/death/marriage records and some military and immigration files, and it is free. A paid subscription is needed to view some photos, but all the transcripts can be viewed for free.
Thanks, J C! I can't believe I overlooked putting FamilySearch in the links - thanks for that.ReplyDelete
That's the balance I'm trying to figure out how to strike: making sure that incorrect information does not spread, without offending those who have obviously also put time and effort into their research. And that's assuming that all of my own information is correct. Who knows, it's always possible that I've overlooked something, and have some information of my own to correct. I think it's important that those of us with common ancestors work together to find as much correct, provable information as possible.
My great-grandfather's name is spelled with an egregious error in an inaccessible file on WorldFamilyTree. I try to correct it when it pops up elsewhere, but I doubt it does much good. My father was named after him, so I take it personally. Bad information can stay on the Web forever.ReplyDelete
JG - I've seen the same kind of errors all over and there's not much I've been able to do either. That's the good and bad of the Internet, I guess - information spreads fast :(ReplyDelete

Photos of the city of Angels. LA looks different than you'd expect, or at least, when I first came here, I was very surprised. I thought I'd hate it, but I love it. Everyone's seen movies and TV shot in LA. The real Los Angeles looks quite different.
Without further ado:
By the way, if you're a graphic designer, contact me, I have need of your services. :-)

A forlorn Frankenstein on the cover of Bizarre no. 24-25, from 1962. Karloff in his Bride of Frankenstein makeup graces more book covers than any other Frankenstein Monster of the movies. Perhaps it's simply a question of ready access to a cache of good studio photographs, but I think that the burn effects, the signed hair and exposed forehead clamps make this Monster the most photogenic of all.
Not to be confused with the current magazine of the same name, or the legendary fetish title published by John "Willie" Coutts, THIS Bizarre was an intellectual literary and arts magazine with a surrealist bent, first launched in Paris by maverick publisher Eric Losfeld in 1953.
Abandoned after just two issues, the title and concept were revived by editor Michel Laclos for publisher J.J.Pauvert in 1955 and ran until 1968. Subject matter ran from the provocative to the weird and profane, with special thematic issues devoted to such names as Boris Vian and Arthur Rimbaud, edgy cartoonists like Wolinki and Chaval, and pop culture subjects like Monsters in myth and real-life "freaks", horror and mystery writer Gaston Leroux, and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan.
In the late summer of 1962, this double issue, numbered 24-25, was entirely devoted to the work of four men: James Whale, Tod Browning, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Midi-Minuit Fantastique editor Jean-Claude Romer profiled the directors, and avant-garde writer Jean Boullet handled the actors. The short bios were followed by exhaustive filmographies, including cast and crew, detailed synopsis and, when available, excerpts from contemporary reviews.
The filmographies have long since been improved on, but at the time, it was a stunning piece of research coming early in the new, nascent era of horror film study and criticism. The only disappointment with the issue lies with Boullet's opinionated "biographies". He gives short shrift to Karloff's abilities, essentially reducing him to an interchangeable actor who "owed everything" to the genius of makeup man Jack Pierce. As for the Lugosi profile, it veers to the ridiculous, with the actor, in drugged old age, "becoming Dracula" and living in a house with live bats. Writing partner Romer, famously rigorous, was incensed by Boullet's sensationalistic exploitation of "every cliché in the book" about Lugosi. The men remained friends, but there were no further published collaborations, despite editor Laclos' introduction saying that Romer and Boullet were planning bio-filmographies of the Chaneys, father and son.
The 98-page magazine includes 36 pages of photographs. You can see 16 of those pages scanned here on the excellent zine blog. Once you get there, be sure to scroll around. The site reproduces wonderful covers and content from older French magazines devoted mostly to b-movies, science fiction and horror, and mild erotica. If you've never seen an issue, you can get eye-popping glimpses inside the legendary horror film magazine Midi-Minuit Fantastique, like this interview and layout on Christopher Lee, and a great photo essay on actress Barbara Steele, from 1967.
Oh, and an anecdote about that issue of Bizarre… The day I bought my copy, late '62, in Montreal, I went directly from the store to the Cinematheque Québécoise where film historian William K. Everson was appearing that evening. After his lecture, he stepped offstage to sign books and meet people. I went up and I pulled out my new copy of Bizarre Nos. 24-25 with the Frankenstein cover. Everson's eyes bugged out. He looked inside and stopped on the Karloff filmography. Turning the pages slowly, he said, "This is incredibly complete!". I offered him my copy, he wouldn't hear of it, but he had me write down the name of the bookstore for him.
The French literary blog, l'Alamblog, ran a lenghty series of posts detailing the history of Bizarre magazine, with covers.

It isn't exactly common to make a house two-thirds smaller or to remove the indoor plumbing. But that's been done at Montpelier, the plantation mansion of President James Madison.
The brick Georgian home at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains has undergone a $24 million restoration with a goal of returning the structure to the way it was between 1809, when Madison was elected the nation's fourth president, and 1836, the year he died. Historians view Madison as the architect of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
"We determined at the outset that it would not be a made-up restoration," said Michael Quinn, president of the Montpelier Foundation, which operates the 2,650-acre estate. "Every part of it would be accurate and would be authentic, and we would restore every room in the house, the cellars where the slaves worked and lived, as well as the dining room and all the bedrooms."
The mansion, built by Madison's father in 1760, remained open for guided tours during the project, and the completion of the massive, five-year effort was celebrated Sept. 17, the 221st anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.
Montpelier's highlights include the library where Madison did most of his research and thinking about concepts that would become the basis of American democracy. An original bookcase has been returned to the room, and visitors can see a spot on the floor near the fireplace where Madison is believed to have spilled ink.
The drawing room where James and Dolley Madison greeted their many guests features triple-hung windows, an English sandstone mantel and egg-and-dart crown molding. Downstairs, Dolley's in-house kitchen -- kitchens of that era were usually in outbuildings -- features a then-innovative built-in "set kettle" stove (where a kettle could sit and be kept warm), a bread oven and a herringbone-patterned brick floor.
John Braymer, chief executive of the Virginia Society of the Architectural Institute of America, said no project in recent times approaches the scope of this restoration, "both in building archaeology and in exquisite execution."
Although the architectural work is largely complete, the installation of furnishings and decor will be ongoing. Curators are researching documents, oral history, paintings, fabrics and nail holes to determine how to properly re-create each room.
The restoration of the place that served as Madison's childhood home, presidential retreat and place of retirement is part of an effort to give Madison his due respect. There are no other major monuments to Madison as there are to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers.
"I think it's a bit confounding," Quinn said. "When you go to the National Archives and see the three iconic documents that define this nation -- the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights -- the Constitution and Bill of Rights are more the product of James Madison's mind than anyone else's, but we've forgotten who he is."
One reason for this is that, despite Madison's intellectual prowess and political innovation, he was very modest, even shy, preferring to stay out of the limelight and allowing Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and others to shine.
"He recognized the fact that they would be getting the recognition," Quinn said. "That didn't bother him one bit."
His modesty also was evident in his relationship with Dolley, who as the nation's first lady took a strong public role during his two-term presidency and beyond.
"He literally turned over social protocol of the White House" to the gracious and charming Dolley, who was known to sit at the head of the table at dinners, Quinn said. "He realized his wife was incredibly gifted in that role -- the role at which she was a natural and he was not."
Another reason Madison might be overshadowed by other historic icons is that his home wasn't opened to the public until 20 years ago. George Washington's Mount Vernon in northern Virginia and Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville became historic sites in 1860 and 1923, respectively.
Dolley Madison had to sell Montpelier in 1844, largely to help pay the debts of her son from her first marriage, and the home subsequently underwent several drastic additions and renovations as it changed hands among six private owners, including the moving of whole walls and the addition of staircases between the first and second floors.
In 1901, industrialist William duPont bought the estate, and during the family's 82-year ownership the home grew from 22 rooms to 55 rooms, including 12 bathrooms.
In her will, duPont's daughter, Marion duPont Scott, transferred the estate to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which took ownership of Montpelier in 1984, about a year after she died. Her will stated that Montpelier should be restored "in such a manner as to conform as nearly as possible with the architectural pattern which existed when said property was owned and occupied by President Madison."
The estate opened to visitors in 1987, but it was tough for them to envision Madison's life and legacy while peering at 20th-century bathrooms, grand chandeliers and the Art Deco-style Red Room, which displayed Scott's many equestrian trophies and other memorabilia.
In 2003, the Montpelier Foundation launched its restoration, funded largely by $20 million from the estate of banking heir Paul Mellon. After architectural historians uncovered evidence of the old structure from documents and physical imprints beneath renovations, workers removed entire wings added by the duPonts, reducing the structure from 36,000 square feet to 12,261 square feet. They also stripped stucco from the exterior brick, rebuilt the front porch and rear colonnade and replaced the tin roof with a cypress-shingle roof.
"It just brings [the Madisons] back to life," Quinn said. "We want to return James and Dolley Madison to their home, and, by extension, return them to the American public."

Organic Swiss Chard Seed
Product ID: 701G
Product Images
The standard green Swiss chard.
The leaves are medium green and savoyed (crinkled) with white veins and broad, white stems. Decorticated (rubbed), sized seeds. Organically grown. Avg. 39,500 seeds/lb. Packet: 200 seeds.
Additional Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Beta vulgaris
CULTURE: Soil pH should be over 6.0. Cool and mild weather is preferred, though chard has some heat tolerance. Seeds germinate in soil temperatures from 40–100°F (5–38°C) with an optimum of 86°F (30°C). Seedlings will tolerate light frosts, and mature plants are hardy to moderate frosts. It may overwinter in mild areas.
PELLETED SEED: If using pelleted seed, we recommend consistent soil moisture during the germination period. Pelleted seed must be kept cool and dry prior to planting, and should be used wthin one year of purchase. Pellets are made of inert NOP-compliant materials, and are size 18.0 — suitable for use with Stanhay seeders (belt size 18.0) or many of the precision seeders offered by Johnny's.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow seed in a cold frame or indoors in early spring, about 5–6 weeks before transplanting out after heavy frosts become infrequent. Sow seeds ½" deep, 2 seeds every 2", thin to 4" apart. Transplant out 4" apart in rows 12–18" apart.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow beginning midspring and on into midsummer (fall where winter is mild).
BUNCHING: Sow about 6 seeds/ft., ½" deep, rows 18–24" apart. Thin to 4–6" apart for larger leaves. Cut for bunching at any stage; new leaves will grow.
SALAD MIX: Sow in a 2–4" wide band, 1" apart, 40 seeds/ft. Clip in about 5 weeks.
HARVEST: Clip mature leaves individually for home garden or for bunching for market. New leaves will grow multiple harvests. For baby leaf, clip young plants just above the soil. Multiple harvests are possible because the plants will grow new stems and leaves. Commercial growers may want to limit to one harvest to avoid half leaves.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: BUNCHING: For bunching: 1 oz./300', 3¼ oz./1,000', 4½ lb./acre at 6 seeds/ft. in rows 24" apart. For baby leaf: 1 oz/45', 1⅓ lb./1,000', 39 lb./acre at 40 seeds/ft. in rows 18" apart.
DECORTICATED SEED: Decorticated seed has been processed by rubbing to remove angular, corky edges that prevent the seed from flowing evenly through mechanical seeders.
SIZED SEEDS: Standard except where noted.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 23,700–48,500 (avg. 30,900).
PACKET: 200 seeds, sows 33–34'.
Johnny's is committed to your success, every step of the way.
We want you, our customer, to be 100% satisfied with all of our seeds, tools, and supplies.

Pratt High fell to 2-2 on the season Friday night as they dropped a game to Lyons, who was celebrating its Homecoming. The final tally was 41-18.
Pratt High fell to 2-2 on the season Friday night as they dropped a game to Lyons, who was celebrating its Homecoming. The final tally was 41-18.
Lyons struck first at 9:53 with a 50-yard TD pass. Pratt couldn't mount any offense on either of its 1st quarter drives and the quarter ended 7-0 Lyons.
The second quarter was the killer for the Frogs. The Lions put up a field goal and a TD to go up 17-0. The final 1:11 of the half was crazy. Ryan McClure, the Lyons QB, escaped a Greenback rush and ended up tossing a big gainer, from where Lyons ran it in on the next play.
Down 24-7 with 37 seconds left, Pratt QB Brandon Ruckle connected with Derek Barnard for a 69 yard TD.
However, Lyons scored not once, but TWICE in the final 37 seconds to take back any momentum the Greenbacks had gained. Lyons had a long TD pass of their own with 21 seconds left. Then Lyons intercepted the Greenbacks next pass, and converted another TD as time ran out in the half. 38-6 Lyons.
Early in Q3 Lyons kicked another field goal to usher in the running clock at 41-6. Pratt showed some character as they kept fighting. They forced a pair of turnovers deep in Lyons territory in the 4th quarter— against the Lyons starters it should be noted, as the Lions went with their first string the entire game despite being up big.
Cesar Regalado and Brandon Ruckle each converted TD runs after the late Lyons turnovers. Final score 41- 18 Lyons. Pratt takes on Halstead next week back at Zerger Field.

The raspberry color of the turban with the canary yellow wool jacket is so delicious! I love it! And I dig how the turban matches your lip color, Caillianne. So great! Adorable little phone cover too. (At least I think its a phone cover?) I love the pink crystal leopard print!

my condolences on the dental work - ugh. if you start icing right after (on 20 min. off 20 min., repeat all day) and take the pain pills BEFORE things start hurting it makes it a lot more bearable. for next time - but i sincerely hope there IS NO NEXT TIME : )
i love the beautiful blends of yellows in that sweater, set against the yellow in the scarf ... so nice! and fushia against the olive-y green of the bag. yum! i'm a huge color fan, but it is so difficult to find complicated, warm toned ones like in your outfit here. brava!
i've worn similar looks for dental work, MRI's, etc. (bold outer layer over sweats) it's practical and comfortable and you don't feel like a slob!

"The P-255 raises the bar for our best-selling P-Series pianos, giving players the power to shine when playing solo or in a group, as well as unprecedented operational flexibility via the P-255 Controller app," said Dane Madsen, Yamaha.
Buena Park, Calif. (PRWEB) May 16, 2014
The new Yamaha P-255 contemporary digital piano, a keyboard for experienced musicians looking for a portable, self-amplified instrument for both serious practice and live performance, is now shipping. In addition, those who would like to begin exploring this instrument before going to their local retailer or purchasing one can do so by downloading the P-255 Controller app for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch® at 4wrd.it/255app.
As suitable in the home as it is on stage, this powerhouse model boasts Pure CF Sampling from a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand for its piano tone, outstanding responsive touch via Graded Hammer action and Synthetic Ivory Keytops designed for maximum comfort even during long playing sessions. The P-255 also offers the cutting-edge Live Music Toolbox with a Sound Boost button, Panel Lock mode and internal speaker On/Off control for when the player wants to use only external amplification.
When performing with a group, Sound Boost helps players cut through the mix of other musicians by compressing the dynamic range of the keyboard's sound to raise volume output. For solo appearances, a comprehensive set of built-in rhythm patterns adds great sounding drums and percussion to any performance.
Available for free on the App Store, the new P-255 Controller app for iOS devices extends the instrument's attractive interface by enabling musicians to quickly customize their sound, save favorite settings for instant recall and even sort and organize song content via an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Additionally, mobile devices can be connected to the mini-jack AUX input, allowing music to play through the model's built-in speakers, or even through a connected external amplifier. The P-255 also features an internal capacity for 10 user songs and 2-track recording.
"The P-255 raises the bar for our best-selling P-Series pianos, giving players the power to shine when playing solo or in a group, as well as unprecedented operational flexibility via the P-255 Controller app," said Dane Madsen, marketing manager, Digital Pianos, Yamaha Corporation of America. "Its lighter, more compact design enables it to be set up virtually anywhere or easily transported for performances."
Paired with the optional L-255 matching stand and LP-255 piano-style, three-pedal unit, the P-255 provides an attractive contemporary piano appearance that doesn't take up too much space in the home.

"If I put on a suit, I wanna look like a gentleman," Eric Perfect says sitting on a sleek leather chair in the waiting room of his new shop, Kadillac Tattoos at 7102 Germantown Ave. (at Mt. Pleasant) in Mt. Airy. There is one other identically sleek leather chair, a three-seater couch, along with all feasible space on walls tied together with framed drawings of possible tattoos (produced with watercolor or colored pencil) made by Eric (real name Eric Flynn) and associate Dan Nelson. Eric and Dan, 28, are the two sole artists at Kadillac. Angus, 19, Eric's son, is an apprentice and on a recent afternoon sits answering phone calls on the other side of the counter with the built-in swinging door that says: "Nobody past here that is not getting a tattoo."
Eric, who lives in Wyndmoor with his wife (and Kadillac co-owner) Lisa, has been in the tattoo artistry business for 23 years. He owns another parlor called Kadillac Tattoo Deuce in the Lawncrest section of Northeast Philadelphia. Eric's skin is teeming with tattoos. Sleeves on both arms, plain red t-shirt, jeans, professor-style thin-rimmed glasses and more tattoo peeking out from his crossed right leg. And there are more on both legs.
"Oh yeah sure," he answers to if there's even more ink in store for his body, "Until we complete the body suit." Which will be all covered if Eric dons a suit.
Nothing on the face, however. Not for him nor for his customers. "Just won't do it," he said without a shred of doubt. "It's not something that looks good, and if we don't think it will look like a tattoo we won't put it on your body." Beneath the businessman speaking there exists a strong undercurrent of holding true to the ideals of a time-travelled craft. And business at his new spot is chugging along quite consistently.
"We're past the opening phase of this place, and we're really building a solid clientele," Eric dished, adding that "80 to 90 percent" of sales are attributed to repeat customers or those coming in based on word-of-mouth of previous customers. The Kadillac location was previously home to an electric bike shop. The lease was brokered by Bob Elfant of Elfant Wissahickon.
A law in Pennsylvania mandates that no tattoo parlor is allowed within 500 feet of any place of worship. However, "I just went and talked to them," Eric deadpanned about his success in striking an agreement that allowed Kadillac to move across the street from Mt. Airy Presbyterian Church. "I told them if they don't want us here, we'll find somewhere else. We wanted to be somewhere where we felt welcome and didn't make anyone else feel uncomfortable."
Perfect and his wife actually received letters of support from West Mt. Airy Neighbors and Rev. Aisha Brooks-Lytle of Mt. Airy Presbyterian Church. Eric even tattooed one of his pastor neighbors shortly after Kadillac Tattoos moved to Mt. Airy in early February. What was tattooed on the pastor? "Dude. Really? Like whaddya think?" Eric chuckled. "A cross."
On the waiting room walls there are many shapes of crosses detailed by hand by Eric and Dan. There are also framed prints of skulls, with drooping blood and without, of dragons emitting snarls of fire, animals morphing into humans and vice versa.
"You steal all the time," Eric confessed. "You see what the great ones do. You steal from them and put our own twist on it. Same with any art." Looked at interviewer: "You're not gonna come up with a new revolutionary way to write this article. Same idea here."
Eric has tattooed and been tattooed all over America and in Europe, Asia and South America. "I know artists from conventions," he said, "and they'll work on me, and I'll work on them." This is respect for a craft that has been around since ships were the most efficient mode of crossing any of the seven seas. 1891 was an important year for tattoos because of electric needles. Before that wooden boxes of tattoo stencils were loaded onto ships bound for cross-continental trips. Eric owns some of these.
Eric's been visiting the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum in Holland for "years and years," sometimes as often as six times per year. He's due to set up shop at the London Tattoo Convention later this year. "Something that's radically changed since I started is women now are slightly more than half our clientele. That stigma's totally changed. No longer just the motorcycle type who might be shunned for inking themselves."
On cue almost, a woman walks into the shop. Mid-afternoon. Mid-50s. Beige business suit, heels, designer sunglasses and handbag. All that. Says she's never had a tattoo. Wants one. Not today, though. She's just checking things out.
"No pressure," Eric retorted respectfully. "We'll see you when you're ready."
She leaves out into the windy, balmy, weirdly overcast day. Eric hops back behind the counter and dives back into the in-progress sketches because true artists never cease creating.

2007 Jeep Wrangler JK - Shake And BakePosted in Features on April 1, 2009
When it comes to extreme JKs Mel Wade's '07 sets the bar. Mel got his legs in the off-road world building and driving Suzuki Samurais and buggies, but when his family started outgrowing the small-statured Suzuki, the newly launched 2007 Jeep Wrangler seemed like the ideal solution. Mel was more than familiar with the Jeep brand. Since he and his wife, Lisa, had opened their shop, Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California, a couple years earlier, Jeep owners had become some of their best customers. The two also figured that the JK would serve as a great calling card for the business.
With only a few miles on the odometer (mostly from the short drive back to the shop from the dealer lot), Mel had his '07 Jeep Wrangler Sahara JK Unlimited on the rack and stripped of the factory suspension components. A Full-Traction long-arm system was installed to clear 37-inch Toyo Open Country M/T tires. The stock axles were also addressed with a set of 5.38 Superior gears and new driveshafts from J.E. Reel were installed as well. However, this was just to get things started. Mel had bigger plans.
Since the JK was a newly launched 4x4, extreme parts for it were just beginning to appear on the market. Mel and his increasing number of JK customers would eagerly await every new product that was rumored to be near release. After a while though, Mel got tired of waiting and started building. Soon after, a whole line of JK-specific equipment was spawn. The first of the products to appear, the EVO-Lever coil-over rear suspension, got everyone's attention. Not only was it different from any other kit on the market but it created gobs of wheel travel and provided an incredible ride as well. Since the launch of the first EVO-Lever kit, the line has expanded to include the EVO-Lever rear Double ThrowDown system, which incorporates dual bypass remote-reservoir coil-over shocks for optimum performance. Front EVO coil-over systems for Jeep JKs are also offered.
Having improved the suspension Mel moved on to the JK's vulnerable body panels, many of which he'd already dented, pinched, and creased, on various trail obstacles across the U.S. After building and testing a handful of prototypes, the EVO-Armor front and rear steel-plate fenders and rock sliders were created. Additional EVO products were also introduced, ranging from axle gussets and shock mount skids to billet aluminum winch fairleads and billet dress up items such as door handles and AC bezels.
Mel's EVO JK has reached a finished state more than once in its short life, but being that it's continually used and abused on trails in addition to its frequent poster boy appearances at shows, it's in a constant state of being built, and re-built, to ensure that it looks good every time it's seen. Check out the photos captions to see what other goodies went in to the Mel's Jeep JK. It's one of the best recipes for a well-built Wrangler that we've come across.

Saturday's suicide bombings at Kerem Shalom are part of a shift toward the tactics of Lebanon-based Hizbullah, presenting Israel with a new-old dilemma: invade or try to broker a cease-fire.
By Josh Mitnick
Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
posted April 20, 2008
Tel Aviv – Even as Jimmy Carter was seeking a promise from Hamas leaders this weekend to cease rocket attacks on Israel, the militant organization launched what a top Israeli army commander called its most aggressive cross-border attempt since Palestinians took over the Gaza Strip in 2005.
On Saturday, militants using jeeps disguised as Israeli army vehicles approached an Israeli border crossing and detonated the vehicles in twin suicide attacks that injured 13. A senior leader promised that worse was to come if Israel, which responded with airstrikes that killed seven militants, doesn't loosen Gaza's "siege" – a 10-month economic blockade of the territory.
The uptick in border-fence attacks – Saturday's was the fourth in less than a month – increasingly suggests that Hamas is emulating the tactics of the Lebanon-based Hizbullah militant group, adding a new dimension to the conflict with Israel. A border ambush last Wednesday helped push the casualty toll this year of Israeli soldiers killed inside Gaza to eight, on pace with the annual death rate inflicted by Hizbullah in southern Lebanon in the late 1990s.
"They have a new tactic now," says Michael Oren, a military historian and author of the recent book, "Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present."
"Rocket fire was popular with the Palestinian public but frowned upon by the international community, whereas [by] drawing soldiers into Gaza and getting them into ambushes, they get the credit for killing Israel soldiers and they don't get the animus of world…. This is the next challenge for Israel."
For Israel, which responded with strikes that left 20 Palestinians dead, the decision between invasion or working toward a cease-fire in Gaza recalls similar dilemmas in southern Lebanon.
Hamas: weightier military force
Hamas, which Israel says has dispatched military officers to Hizbullah patron Iran to hone their skills, has bulked up the ranks of its fighting force and organized it into regional brigades with disciplined soldiers.
After taking control of Gaza from Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party last year, they've bolstered their arsenal with foreign-made rockets and more antitank missiles. In the same way that Hizbullah created an elaborate network of bunkers in southern Lebanon in anticipation of an Israeli invasion, Hamas is also believed to have dug themselves in by booby-trapping Gaza refugee camps.
That's created a measure of deterrence against Israel, which realizes that the death toll of its soldiers will be high, and the number of Palestinian civilian casualties will be even higher – likely sparking international condemnation.
"[Gazans] feel that this is a serious resistance movement, not just the game of boys," says Eyad Sarraj, director of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program. "People think that Israel will think 100 times before they dare to come into Gaza…. Everything that happens now, people are reminded of Hizbullah tactics."
In the past two weeks, Hamas militants made three attempts to infiltrate Israel: first, an attack on an Israeli fuel terminal on the border; second an ambush last Wednesday that killed three soldiers; and a firefight the next day at the Kerem Shalom border crossing, where Saturday's attack also took place.
"I definitely see a rise in the capabilities of Hamas and a rise in the motivation, and I see an increase in the level of assistance that Hamas is getting from Iran and Hizbullah," said Danny Rothschild, a retired general, in an interview last week with Israel Radio. "Hamas is trying more and more to carry out military operations. "I assume it will continue to do this along the fence and through missile fire, as much as possible."
In addition to their combat forces, the Islamists in Gaza have also started using foreign-made Katyusha rockets, which have a longer range and a more powerful explosive than the locally manufactured Qassam rockets. The threat recalls Hizbullah's ability to rain missiles down on northern Israel that the Israel army was unable to neutralize during the 2006 war in Lebanon.
A headline in the Israeli newspaper Maariv last week described the challenge as "Lebanon syndrome."
No Gaza invasion likely soon
To be sure, Hamas has yet to attain the fighting sophistication and weapons stockpile of Hizbullah.
"In many ways they remind us of Hizbullah, but they're not Hizbullah yet," says Amos Harel, the military correspondent for Haaretz who coauthored a book on the Lebanon war. "You shouldn't exaggerate the proportion, but there is a change."
At the same time, the Israel-Hamas standoff in Gaza involves different geopolitical terrain from Lebanon. Unlike Lebanon, Israel has nearly sealed all of the borders of the Gaza Strip. Hamas's recent attacks on Israeli crossing terminals where basic foodstuffs and fuel are allowed passage is meant to focus international attention on the economic blockade, analysts say.
Israeli hawks like Likud lawmaker Yuval Steinitz have called on the government to order an all-out invasion of the Gaza Strip to strike at Hamas before it becomes "Hizbullah II."
"It is already too late to dismantle the Iranian outpost without a fierce fight," says Mr. Steinitz. "If Israel will continue to wait, this will soon become a much more dangerous trap, and much more costly to neutralize."
Analysts say that if Israel does decide on a Gaza invasion, it won't take place until after its 60th-anniversary celebrations in May.
On the other hand, cease-fire mediation efforts led by Egypt, and more recently by former President Carter, could avert the gradual escalation while preserving the balance of power – just as international mediation was necessary to end the Lebanon war in 2006.
"People who are fighting are always trying to learn from other fronts and other wars. Certainly Hamas is trying to imitate Hizbullah," says Hanna Sinora, codirector of the Israel Palestinian Center for Research and Information. "For the past three years, the violence has escalated to such a degree, that I believe that both sides would prefer a cease-fire if they evaluate the situation. I hope that is the case."
