They've predicted around 35 degrees for the next couple of days so maybe wait until the weekend to plant ;-)
My suggestions would be beetroot, rainbow silverbeet, parsley and radishes. Oh and maybe shallots and rocket always do well. - March 1, 2011 at 11:15 AM
- Ali said...
Oh goodness, thank you so much Missy, I hadn't realised... although I should have, it's blooming boiling today! I love the idea of rainbow silverbeet and rocket, beetroot doesn't like me though. Radishes I'd have to see what they looked like, I don't eat them so have never grown them. And shallots are a great idea, nice foilage! Thank you :)

How about adding spike-y chives? :-)
YOU are so lucky - have a wonderful time with this, and please post on your progress! - March 1, 2011 at 12:07 PM
- Ali said...
SG what are spike-y chives? And yes, I am very excited :) I really hope I can make something that looks really good. Doesn't matter too much about what produces, but it does have to look striking.

What about Lemongrass as a feature!

I love to see rosemary in places where people can brush past and release its wonderful perfume. It should grow well in your area, with good drainage, it is just too darn wet here! Growing as a perennial it will look and smell lovely year round.
- March 1, 2011 at 12:46 PM
- Ali said...
Phoebe I love lemongrass, that's an excellent idea, thank you!
And AA, rosemary, of course! It does grow well here, even I can keep it alive. I do love a bit of contrast in foliage, even though I seem to have troubles spelling it! - March 1, 2011 at 1:01 PM
- Enchanted Moments said...
Definately herbs Ali, with a mix of veg in the middle...one of my capsicum is in a pot near the house in full sun and it dosnt mind it at all...sounds exciting, .x
- March 1, 2011 at 2:28 PM
- Mark Willis said...
Considering the expected weather conditions (and who is going to water the plants?) I would be planning to plant "Mediterranean" veg, and herbs. Rosemary (as suggested by others) would be ideal, but also thyme and oregano. Some bush tomatoes would look good. What about capsicums and chillis?(maybe some of those compact multi-coloured ones?) Or your famous aubergines? Don't go for anything tall, or that bolts easily if not watered regularly - like spinach. Hey, this is going to be an exciting project for you!
- March 1, 2011 at 5:02 PM
- Ali said...
Suzanne, yes, definitely herbs, I agree... they smell so lovely when people brush past them.
Mark, you champion, how did I know you were going to suggest chillis?! And they are a great idea, I will have to do some research, I'd like to try to get different ones with lots of different coloured chillis. I hadn't really thought about watering, but I was just down there and the soil is really parched. It's amazing that there are things growing in it, and the bushes look quite healthy, who knows what they are living on. - March 1, 2011 at 5:56 PM
- veggiegobbler said...
How exciting for you! I'm with the others herbs I reckon. And rainbow silveerbeet great. Have fun.
- March 1, 2011 at 7:29 PM
- HAZEL said...
I saw a mass planting of chillies (outside a cafe at a cemetery of all places). It looked fantastic...all those little red and yellow chillies. I also love all of Missy's suggestions. Rainbow chard is divine. Good luck...soon you will be able to give up the day job. LOL
- March 1, 2011 at 9:02 PM
- Ali said...
Hazel I love the idea of masses of chillis, lovely and hardy, and great colours too... Rainbow silverbeet scares me a little though, I've not grown it myself yet, and I'm not confident of being able to!
I went and cleared out three of the boxes this afternoon, the fourth one is full of overgrown herbs and I am going to try and save some of them. - March 1, 2011 at 9:43 PM
- Jodie said...
Fun : ) This sounds so great darl, I'll bring you some sheep manure on Thursday if you like. I think some tall corn would be really cool. You may have to be careful with chillis if they will be at a child friendly height... You are just the woman for this job : )
- March 1, 2011 at 10:09 PM
- Gooseberry Jam said...
Wow, what a great project Ali, Have you thought about Climbing beans, you could make an attractive trellis for them to climb...fast growing and they could act as a screen if neccesary? Definetly plenty of herbs and maybe a bay leaf tree, you can prune these into topiary trees....All the best and Have Fun...:)
- March 1, 2011 at 10:18 PM
- Kat said...
I'd be a little scared of chilis within easy reach of kids and the idiotic, but a wonderful scented herb garden would be great. Looks like a lot of work- but fun, good luck!
- March 1, 2011 at 11:10 PM
- Mark Willis said...
Perhaps you should make a little sign to put in each bed, saying "Please water me", in the hope that your mates in the shop will provide a supply of water - and a watering-can.
- March 2, 2011 at 12:09 AM
- Mal's Allotment said...
Crikey Ali, do you get a grant from the Arts Council?
I'm so envious of your weather, and you're sure its got to be veg???
How about the three sisters? Corn, squash and climbing beans? Might be a lot too much to expect people to be patient enough to wait for it to come good. So how about just corn (dwarf multicoloured?) - March 2, 2011 at 7:19 AM
- Ali said...
Mal I suggested veg because I think that it's different and people will look, and I also have a thing about how lovely it would be if we planted more vegetables in ornamental gardens, for everyone to partake of the produce.
My one worry with it though is how easy and fun (for a teenager!) it would be to rip them out. We'll see.
I love the idea of corn, lovely and tall, very striking. And climbing beans too, that would look lovely climbing up the corn. Squash I've not had luck with and have sworn off it, but I could come round!
A little sign is a great idea Mark, and I might also tell the children of these guys, little kids can be fabulously pedantic about things they have been told to do I have noticed.
Kat I was also concerned about chillis and little people (I'd forgotten about numbnuts though!), and I'm not sure what to do there... I did have my heart set on chillis.
GJ a trellis is the most FABULOUS idea, and I had to pull out the little bushes that were actually acting as a screen, so yes, a trellis would replace that really nicely.
Jodie you lovely young thing, I would love some manure! The plants will be as happy as little pigs in mud.
Corn is in... it sounds like a really good idea, although I'm worried about the season. Is there a proper season for corn here? - March 2, 2011 at 7:41 AM
- duchess_declutter said...
All sounds great Ali - well done!
I think you'd be ok if you planted corn now, we have some on the go at the moment.
Depending on how much room you have left at this stage - how about a variety of lettuce and/or cabbage. Quite a few different colours going on there. Have fun! - March 2, 2011 at 8:21 AM
- Ali said...
Thanks Wendy, I'd like to go with corn!
I love the idea of lettuce, maybe I could scatter some seeds around to pop up in between other things??? And cabbage I like too, I haven't actually grown it myself though, does it grow well here do you know? - March 2, 2011 at 9:42 AM
- Esther Montgomery said...
Can't suggest plants properly because of difference in climate but,if I were to have such a project here, I would have to choose things people wouldn't want to eat (the fruits would simply be clipped off and wasted before they were ripe) things without shallow roots (because they would be pulled out easily) things without flowers on stems (because flowers on stems would be picked) and things which wouldn't damage children if said children decided to grab hold of them (so things with thorns or spines would be out too). Therefore . . . I'd look for something tough and woody which will put roots deep in very firmed down earth, which put be pleasant to look at but not tempting to damage or take.
Rosemary sounds a good idea (I see someone has suggested that) but Rosemary can splurge and obstruct the way - which wouldn't be popular outside a shop.
However - if you can grow Rosemary, does that mean you can grow lavender? It's not a vegetable but it would be something you could encourage people (including children and teenagers) to touch. There are lots of different sizes, different shapes and textures of leaves, even quite radically different aromas; some sweet, some surprisingly spicey. They quite like dry, not rich, ground . . . but I don't know whether there are varieties which would tolerate your temperatures . . .
Esther - March 2, 2011 at 2:11 PM
- Ali said...
Esther you make some very good points, and ones that I hadn't thought of.
Rosemary I think is a really good idea, nice and hardy. And yes, we can grow lavender. I don't know many varieties, I only know of the French and English types, I have some in my yard which I am pretty sure is French. Or English, I can't remember now.
I like very much the idea of people touching the plants, so pretty smells are definitely on the list.
Thank you for your comment Esther, you are much more sensible a thinker than myself! - March 2, 2011 at 8:26 PM
- ElsieMay said...
Post lots of photos would love to see them. perenial basil - one with small leaves smells great and is lots hardy! What about sprinkling seeds every so often. Its fun to see new things coming up when you walk past and others - esp kids - will notice too. Cosmos good for attracting good insects and are pretty and hardy. Cherry tomatoes - hardy and fruitful.
- March 3, 2011 at 12:44 PM
- donna74 said...
Corn is more a summer plant, not for winter I don't think... so plan it for next spring.
Kale might be good during the winter - you can get some great ornamental looking ones. As ElsieMay suggested cherry tomatoes pretty much all year round.
For the trellis this coming season you would probably be better with peas or snow peas. - March 3, 2011 at 1:17 PM
- Ali said...
Elsie May scattering seeds is a wonderful idea, and you are right, everyone loves to watch something grow. At least I do anyway!
Donna for the life of me I cannot find kale. Where are they hiding the stuff?! - March 3, 2011 at 1:59 PM
- tessa said...
I think Hazel's masses of chillies is a simply fab-tastic idea. In fact it has inspired be to plant some out the front of my own front yard on the road side(for purely evil reasons mind you). Then those little weasley, meddling kiddies might learn to look and not touch :) boohoo har har harrrrgh
- March 5, 2011 at 11:35 AM
- Ali said...
There you go, that's a lovely thought... how about just a chilli border around your house :p
The plants have been chosen and planted, for the rest of my marvellous commenters they will have to be contented with photos tomorrow, you however my dear, can see for yourself firsthand the wonder I have wrought, whilst munching on your beef jerky samples. - March 5, 2011 at 9:34 PM

Bicycle recalls

Bicycle recallsI just had a call from LBS where I purchased my Felt TT bike to say that there is a recall on them due to the forks may crack at the steerer and become detached from the handlebars and bicycle
There seem to be quite a few other bikes (and parts) on the recall list, could be an idea if people checked the list to see if they have a bike or part that is on the list as not all LBS' would keep records (especially if it was only a part). http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index ... mId/952818
Re: Bicycle recallsJeez - Gore brake cables for Campag recalled!!!!
First I'd heard of that. I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Bicycle recallsCrikes, I just noticed my road bike stem was recalled in 2009, Shimano Pro-Hi comp, bit worried now
Re: Bicycle recallsnoticed this TREK bicycle recall today while looking for other info.
Re: Bicycle recallsWillier Izoard XP recall. I read about it at the link below.

Re: Bicycle recalls
That one must be an error, we all know steel doesn't break, i could understand it if the steerer was that dangerous carbon fibre stuff . When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.

Re: Bicycle recallsSo the message here seems to be , forks are dangerous, so we should all ride unicycles or be able to chuck monos for miles?
Re: Bicycle recalls
I ride a Lefty, so am I reducing the risk by half?
Re: Bicycle recalls
Or doubling it with all the pressure on one fork?
Re: Bicycle recalls
Wow that gives a new definition of Dodgeball. Thats crazy... I've seen American footballs being made on "how its made" and i'm suprised to see that a sewing needle was left in. They use a Leather needle to hook the stitching through.... They are very strong sewing needles. GOALS FOR THIS YEAR
1. Save up for a JC70 Recumbent Trike 3. Rack up a lot of KM Training 2. Attend 250km Bupa 2013
Re: Bicycle recalls
Sound perfectly reasonable to me. Unicyclist's don't need a training wheel

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Our Team Leader Rene, was brilliant. He could not have done another thing for us. He had a host of history and general knowledge about his country and looked after everyone so well. We were a mixed age group and no one was left out our feeling negelected. Well done Rene. Also a word for out great bus driver Pepe, he was great, staying with the bus so we could leave our belongings there when we went exploring, that was a great idea.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Please bring extra tooth paste and soap as they really dont have enough in the countryside and it is great to be able to give it to them. Do use sun screen as even on cloudy days you do burn. Bring long sleeved loose or light top or blouse for extra hot days then you dont worry about burning. apart from that enjoy.
Do you have anything else to add?
"The second hotel/camp site we stayed at was on the point of being really good, just need a little bit of maintance and spruceing up. gaps under doors, loose air conditioners, very small things which would not take long to complete.
Also everywhere we ate, the gave far too much food, dont need soup, salad and dinner, I would rather just have soup in middle of day and then just the dinner at night. It was such a waste of food when so many there had nothing. Felt really guilty with all the waste. Saying that all the restaurance we ate at the standard was really good and I actually put on weight!!!! normally would lose half stone or so in two weeks. "

Thanks for sharing this Buzz.
have you seen the fake bin laden death photo's? Google it. He was said to be so sick 10 years ago that under the best medical care he might have had 5 yrs to live. How good was the medical care he recieved in those caves? Why did he look heavier in his death pictures than he did in the last known pictures of him alive that were several years old?
So someone has seen a list of the members and can prove this group is Special Ops?These are the Special Ops the ELITE of the ELITE
Any one can say they are or were a member. We all think it would be dishonerable to claim that but you read every day how some one claims their war records are not what what they really are.
All success belongs to the dog, all failure to the trainer.
Yep Sambo, I'm nuts. Do some homework, find the night vision photo's, find the comparison pics and come to your own conclusions but by all means, believe everything the MSM feeds you.
It would not stand to reason that we would go in to Pakastan without permission for photo op....you think
Maybe we really had permission. Don't believe everything you hear. Open your mind.

A tag, a trace and a tempest
The movie version of "The Fugitive" is a great example of the American crime investigation story. The wife of a prominent doctor is murdered in her own home. The only person found in the home is her husband and he's covered in blood. His claims that an intruder committed the murder seem far-fetched and he is convicted of the unthinkable crime.

If it's a bit quiet today that may be because everyone is at IADF or Camp Fire 2013.
As an alternative to the Crawley convention some of us are visiting France for Tartajongle as discussed at BJC, theres a Facebook group for the Crawley crowd open to all - http://www.facebook.com/events/313993658675644/334213209987022/?comment_id=334226289985714&ref=notif¬if_t=event_mall_reply
I hope that link works, also the convention website is at http://www.tartajongle.org if you go to the top right theres some info in English and a booking form, they have negotiated a group ferry crossing for us, Portsmouth to Le Havre and a coach transfer to the site forr £47 and the convention itself is free/pay what you can afford, they are also doing meals for €3, the location looks good with supermarket, shops etc nearby.
If your going please register ASAP as they need details to confirm the ferry bookings.
"open to all" except those without a facebook acount. oh well!
I wonder if my van would survive a jaunt to France. Hmm...
# by Little Paul, 2012-06-20 10:02 BST Parent
You'd only need to get to Portsmouth as our nice french friends are making a group booking for us and arranging a coach to take us from Le Havre to site, if you go to their website and click the british flag you can register, then you need to get a cheque to them for £47 and they'll book you on the ferry (foot passenger)and take you to the site and back again afterwards.
Alternatively if things work out they'll be a few of us meeting at the Hawth Crawley, then going on to Portsmouth by convoy or possibly minibus/coach I'm sure someone can squeeze you in.
Sorry my info is only on Facebook but I dont do web design :-)
re: facebook - i believe events and stuff have a box you can tick which makes them public - so that they can be seen without logging in to facebook. That would make all the info available to everyone interested, even those who don't have a facebook account.
re: my van - if I leave it in portsmouth, I can't sleep in it :)
# by Little Paul, 2012-06-20 20:43 BST Parent
Ah thanks for that Paul, I've found it and made it public, let me know if that works.
Best give the van a service then :-)
ahh that's much better! I can see it now. Ta
# by Little Paul, 2012-06-20 21:20 BST Parent
Can you check the facebook link as when I click it I just go to my events. I'm up for it, but the french website. . . isn't too user friendly.
Oh bugger I was a bit worried about that link, do a search for FB event "Normandy invasion" and perhaps add Crawley to avoid the obvious war ones.
Basically the convention is free/pay what you can afford, lunch and dinner available at €3 each and breakfast also available, free camping the usual convention stuff, gala show, parade, public show, showers toilets etc nearby supermarket and shops and Saturday is market day.
The organisers have arranged a group booking from Portsmouth to Le Havre and a coach from Le Havre to site and back again for £47
EO&E As the above is from memory, but the prices are correct, get in touch if you want any further info, but I'm away for a few days so there may be a delay.
Basically, I'm up for it, but I can't find the facebook group. . .
I had difficulty finding it too. A search on Facebook doesn't seem to find it for some reason. The link that Dave gave now seems to work for me though.
buggerit, rather preoccupied myself with various things & forgot about this. I will let you know by Friday if I can make this.
That's good we now have an official translator with us :-)
There's now a webpage to let you pay for your ferry crossing and coach transfer by credit card/paypal here:
once you've paid remember to fill in the registration orm (again) with your details and receipt number

AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix 2012: Mercedes-Benz Classic celebrates "60 years of the SL"

The SL story began in 1952 with the 300 SL racing car
A host of vintage SLs are expected at the Nürburgring
Mercedes-Benz clubs from Germany and the rest of Europe represented
Stuttgart – The SL designation inspires passion in automotive enthusiasts the world over. For six decades, it has been synonymous with sportiness and sensational looks. What began in 1952 with the 300 SL racing car (W 194) and went on to acquire iconic status in the years to follow continues with the latest Mercedes-Benz SL (R 231) that was launched this year. Reason enough for Mercedes-Benz Classic to mark "60 years of the SL" at the 40th AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix (10-12 August 2012).
During this annual celebration of vintage vehicles, the Nürburgring becomes a rendezvous for the classic racing car scene. Appearances by the Mercedes-Benz clubs in 2012 once again show how strongly people identify with the history of the brand. Around 200 club members from Germany and the rest of Europe are expected at the event, bringing with them around 100 Mercedes-Benz vehicles. So in addition to all the thrilling racing action, there is plenty of opportunity for the brand's biggest fans to get together and share their passion.
The history of Mercedes-Benz in motor sports is closely interwoven with the history of the Nürburgring. There was even success for Mercedes-Benz at the legendary circuit's opening race in 1927, with Rudolf Caracciola and Adolf Rosenberger crossing the finishing line in first place in a Mercedes-Benz Type S. Seven years later, at the Eifel race in 1934, the new Mercedes-Benz W 25 Grand Prix racing cars appeared for the first time with their shiny aluminium bodywork exposed instead of the usual white livery. And so the "Silver Arrow" was born. In the 1952 racing season, the first for Mercedes-Benz after the Second World War, the 300 SL racing car recorded a fourfold victory in the Anniversary Grand Prix for sports cars at the Nürburgring. This triumph was followed by many others for Mercedes-Benz at the historic racetrack.
The first 300 SL racing car, the original from 1952, no long exists, having been scrapped. But the second car – chassis no. 194 010 00002/52 – is still with us and has been in company ownership ever since it was built, the "/2" embossed on various parts providing proof of its authenticity. During the painstaking restoration process undertaken by Mercedes-Benz Classic, the car was completely dismantled and every single component meticulously examined. All were restored in accordance with the highest standards of authenticity and quality. "The clear remit was to retain both the material substance and aged look of the racing car. The 300 SL with chassis no. 2 is now restored to its former glory – yet continues to bear with pride the traces of its exhilarating racing past," says Michael Bock, Head of Mercedes-Benz Classic.
Did you know ...?
At the Goodwood Revival (14-16 September 2012) Mercedes-Benz Classic will be represented by five original Silver Arrows from the 1930s – and is organising a staged race for them together with Auto Union which will be the biggest gathering of Silver Arrows for a number of decades.

It's often a conceptual argument. Is experience and productivity more important than raw talent and potential? It's a vague question. You can ask almost anybody that, not just sports fans, but never is it more relevant than the NBA Draft.
Do you value a player who puts up numbers, wins and minutes in school? Or do you choose the younger option with all that upside and all those questions? Everybody answers differently and every team picks differently. Those that choose experience usually defend it with the same vernacular. "I'll always choose a guy that wins." They preach about it in some misguided belief that it makes them "old school." It's hard as a true basketball fan to argue against it, though.
Out of principle, who would select a player who hasn't proven anything over an established presence? It's like supporting laziness, leaving school early and not trying until you get the big money, but in a league where the stars that dominate are in their 20's, it's hard to not see that choosing a younger player with unlimited skill is the wrong option. Especially if you believe in your coaching staff. You get an extra couple years to develop under the team's guidanc, but the problem with the system is that we classify and group these players with such carelessness that their stuck inside a box before they even know where they are.
Just writing this article makes me as culpable as any Skip Bayless rant filled with generalities and clichés. The more teams judge players as complete individuals the better chance they have at discovering the right talent for their locker room. These players are too young to be stereotyped. Maybe it's the over-saturated media that churns out the same story in 58 different venues that's to blame. Maybe it's our perception. We're so distant from the players that we barely see them as people. Whatever it is, you can be sure that certain teams passed on players because of preconceived notions, and they could pay for it later.

After an infinite hiatus (or some 22 million seconds), I'm back with a long overdue post. Where have I been the past 6240 hours?
As freak floods that tend to occur once every 50 years hit Singapore this year at a rapid rate making us older than the 45 years we are supposed to be, it is ironic timing to see PUB Chairman Tan Gee Paw given the National Day award of the Distinguished Service Order.
Singapore with a population of approx. 5million (throwing in all the foreigners & all) has never exactly been a lucrative market for most foreign entities in comparison to the rest of the World. The telecommunications market, media, and subsequently pay television market have longed remained in the hands of government owned entities, despite the opening up of these markets in recent years.
When you reach a certain age (like 17), Disneyland suddenly doesn't hold the enthrallment as it once did when you were say maybe, 7. Instead, when you work to buy your air ticket to the country where they exalt liberty, suddenly the foremost attraction became Universal Studios. Watching cowboys slug it out behind false walls, meandering jet skis in Water World …
Is one born to slog their entire life?
Wayne Rooney has admitted that he is undergoing hair transplant and is absolutely proud of it!

CNY Prepares For First Winter Storm Of The Year; Reminders and Tips
By: Rachel Polansky
Updated: December 26, 2012
It may be too late to winterize cars if people haven't already done so, but they still can prepare. We speak with a snow-plow business, an auto shop, and AAA to find out all the driving strategies people will want to know to get home safely this storm, and all winter long.
"Everybody thought we weren't gonna have a winter, it's coming," says Russell Schmitt, manager of Oriskany Tire.
Schmitt says he's had customers all day making last-minute preparations.
"I'm putting some winter tires on my truck so I have good treading and good traction, so I can drive through the storm," says Dave Piacentino, Utica resident.
"I come have my tire pressure checked. I found a light on, so I figured with the weather coming, I better have it checked out," says Jean Smith, Herkimer County resident.
Schmitt says prepping is the best thing you can do, and making sure your car is fully stocked.
"Snow tires, winter wiper blades, antifreeze, shovel, blanket," says Schmitt.
Schmitt says winterizing your car is key. He says when the snow starts coming down, there's a huge difference between snow tires and all-season tires.
"Once theirs an inch of snow on the road, an all-season tire, is no good," says Schmitt.
People can expect to see snow-plows working hard.
"The city of Utica will have a little trouble after 6 inches of snow. It takes them a little longer to clear it, it takes them a little longer to salt it," says Arthur Risucci, Art's Tree, Stump & Snow-Plow Removal
But Risucci says people can help by simply being patient.
"When its snowing hard, we're looking for the addresses of drive ways, so it takes us a little longer. Everybody tries to go around you. It becomes dangerous so they gotta slow down and wait and see what that plow trucks gonna do. They have the yellow lights on, it means caution, but people try to go around you to quick," says Risucci.
But if you do find yourself in a fender-bender...
"Take pictures of the damage to your vehicle, take pictures to the vehicle that hit you or you hit, and just have that information," says Ed Welsh, Utica AAA.
AAA says always remember the basics.
"Drive slow, double your distance and drive defensively is the best advice I can offer," says Welsh.
And all the businesses urge people to be patient and take caution.
The city of Utica has declared a snow emergency until further notice. And This means all vehicles must be off city streets by 10pm tonight. Officials say vehicles left on the street will be towed.

Flu Season
Flu Season Tips
Influenza (also called flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. The best way to prevent the flu is through yearly vaccinations. In New England, flu season typically begins in December and can last through April.
Campus Preparedness sponsors flu vaccine clinics each year to immunize the Emmanuel community and reduce the risk of flu. Please watch for more information on the portal. Clinics are typically held in October
Here are some simple tips to help keep from spreading germs, especially during the cough, cold and "flu" season.
Steps to Help Prevent Spreading Germs.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a elbow when sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose.
- Discard used tissues in the trash as soon as you can.
- Always wash your hands after sneezing, blowing your nose, or coughing, or after touching used tissues or handkerchiefs.
- Use warm water and soap to wash your hands. If you don't have soap and water, use alcohol-base hand gel or disposable wipes.
- Try to stay home if you have a cough and fever.
- See your doctor as soon as you can if you have a cough and fever, and follow their instructions. Take medicine as prescribed and get lots of rest.
- If asked, use face masks provided in your doctor's office or clinic's waiting room. Follow office or clinic staff instructions to help stop the spread of germs.
Steps to Help Prevent Getting Sick
- Get enough sleep, an average of 6 to 8 hours.
- Eat healthy, a well balanced meal.
- Wash your hands before eating, or touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Wash your hands after touching anyone who is sneezing, coughing or blowing their nose.
- Don't share things like towels, chapstick, , or anything else that might be contaminated with germs.
- Don't share food, uncleaned utensils or beverage containers with others.

I recently picked up Criterion's LD release of "The Magnificent Ambersons" because it was the only way to get the special features for the film (and the only decent-looking copy, until WB's recent bare-bones DVD release). In addition, I managed to snag the Criterion LD of "Othello" for $30 on eBay, which seemed like a reasonable price, considering the quality of the extras (commentary, the inclusion of "Filming Othello," etc.).
Are there any other Criterion LDs of Welles films that are not available on DVD that I should pick up?

15. | MC Hammer | ||
Stupid one hit wonder who wears parachute pants. When MC Hammer found out about a sale for half price off parachute pants,he screamed like a little girl.
MC Hammer images | |||
1. | MC Hammer | ||
A rapper of the early 90's who became really successful. But having his idea of a "plan" as he called it he spent all his money on stuff he did not need. In other words he thought he could make money but his life style could not be covered by his music so he went bankrupt. MC Hammer can often be seen in the Central Valley of Cali "Thats northern cali" do to the fact he now lives in a small one bed room house in Tracy. MC Hammer can also been seen in Modesto Cali time to time. Having spent my days in Modesto I have seen MC Hammer a few times and met him 5 times. Among other things George Lucus "Maker of Starwars and other films" can be found going to Modesto being he was born and rasied here. Being his parents still live in the area.
2. | MC Hammer | ||
(n) an Oakland rapper from the early 1990s named Stanley Kirk Burrell who liked to wear parachute pants while performing his MANY hits:
1. U Can't Touch This (1990, #8) 2. Have You Seen Her (1990, #4) 3. Pray (1990, #2) 4. 2 Legit 2 Quit (1992, #5) 5. Addams Groove (1992, #7) 6. Pumps and a Bump (1994, #26) I have to take issue with the unfair characterization of M.C. Hammer as a one-hit wonder: he may be bankrupt and washed-up, but give the man credit for his multiple hits! Hasn't he suffered enough, going through life as a black man named Stanley?
3. | mc hammer | ||
A Scottish tool for pounding on things. Aye, Connor, hand me that mc hammer, I've gotta drive a nail inta this piece a wood.
4. | MC Hammer | ||
1. A popular rapper who made alot of money, than turned around and realized he spent it all.
2. A fight move when you threaten and threaten until you really have to fight and the other guy realizes that you are a p*ssy. (How me and my homies use it.) 1. Mc Hammer: Can't touch this!
Guy: They shouldn't of let you touch the money. 2. Guy 1: What happened. Guy 2: I MC Hammered a guy. |
5. | MC Hammer | ||
A very cool rapper guy from the eighties/early nineties, is NOT a one hit wonder. His greatest works include "U Can't Touch This", "Here Comes the Hammer", "Too Legit to Quit", and "Turtle Power".
6. | mc hammer | ||
To slap your partners forhead with your cock while cumming during oral sex. To perform an MC Hammer you MUST be standing up- UNDER THE CONDITION that your partner does NOT want you to cum in her mouth.
Right before orgasm you shake your legs and say "uhoh! uhoh, uhoh-uhoh! STOP!" - Pull out - Begin to bang your dick on her forhead while cumming and say "HAMMER TIME!" |
7. | MC Hammer | ||
Good vibes Hip Hop that everyone enjoyed during the late eighties / early nineties. Fell off with the influx of gangsta rappers in the early-mid nineties. Tried to sport some new school (for early-mid nineties), but shit wasn't happenin'. Personally, I wonder if some of his fallin' off was because some heads were jealous. Finally made a decent comeback with some religious shit. Apparently, he now lives a humble, less glamorous, and more ordinary lifestyle. MC Hammer was hot in sports scenes. He became noticed rappin' outside Oakland Colliseum. His hits were definitely amongst the orginal "Jock Jams."
His music was obviously hot on dance floors, and is still played at many cheesy white people weddings. Well, ok, he was awesome. Awesome! |

Lance Armstrong Banned From Ironman France
Back in February, the US Government decided there was not enough evidence to prosecute Lance Armstrong for using performance enhancing drugs. However, that burden is much higher than the US Anti-Doping Agency which says it is investigating Lance. Apparently, the agency says it took blood samples from Lance back in 2009 and 2010 that are consistent with blood manipulation. So, how come they waited two or three years to bring them up? It seems like every biker ever in the Tour de France who has any success has been doping. It does seem hard to believe that Lance could win all those years and be the only person out there not doping. Lance says that he has passed 500 drug tests in 25 years and never failed one.

Free Calls VOIP Phone Systems
Voice over IP (voip technology & voip internet phone) promises many benefits, but moving the phone service to a voip (voip phone) can expose that service to a number of serious threats. This 10 minute podcast looks at just some of these...
Hosted PBX. The better, simpler, more affordable business phone system.
The biggest problem with installing a traditional business phone system? That closet-full of equipment you'll need to lease, install and maintain. With Vocalocity PBX, you won't need any of that equipment. And you'll get a phone system that's advanced, reliable, flexible, simple, cost-effective—and ready to go in about 15 minutes. You can be set up with Vocalocity Hosted PBX in minutes. How does Vocalocity Hosted PBX work? Vocalocity Hosted PBX is a total business phone service. It uses VOIP technology—in other words, your phone service is delivered over the internet.More ifno here: http://www.vocalocity.com/hosted-pbx/
The word on the street is that call center professionals no longer want or need to hear why they should implement Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions. They have heard enough about the benefits for multi-site centers, and the resiliency VoIP Call Center offers for disaster recovery. Most people can see how VoIP Call Center can accelerate and simplify multimedia routing and reporting for their center and their customers. They now understand that VoIP can help their center get long wishedfor functionality such as screen pops -- at a lower cost and with less hassle. And they see that VoIP Call Center can help them change their customer care paradigms: tap into reserve resources for peaks and expert resources for escalation; expand their labor pool to home agents and satellite offices; and do it all at a lower cost and with more agility then they ever could before.
People get VoIP Call Center. They know that VoIP Call Center is where the market is going, what the vendors are offering, and what they will inevitably have to implement. So as more and more centers plan for and implement VoIP Call Center, it is time to shift the focus to how to ensure success. This article presents ten important tips that start with the planning process and proceed through selection and implementation to postimplementation success.
TAGS: Transitioning to VoIP Call Center, Vs traditional phone systems, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Call Center Technology Applications/Offerings, New Technology Evaluation, Technology Implementation/Maintenance, Technology
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has reached a new level of maturity in the contact center industry. We can now shift the conversation from "Why should I do VoIP?" to "When and how should I move to VoIP?"
Because VoIP is such a rich, deep and complex topic, defining best practices for planning, implementation and support requires more than one article. Therefore, this article is the first in a series to help those that are on their way to VoIP — or anticipate they soon will be — to prepare for a successful transition that has lasting business value for the company and the center. Start a VoIP Planning Process
VoIP offers many opportunities for delivering business value. While the multisite is the "killer application" for VoIP, single-site environments can also find business value in this new system, including pseudo-multisite configurations for remote agents in satellite offices or homes, and business continuity and multimedia contact center operations.

'•Today it*s more than $780 fnillion. That progress is just an indication of what's been achieved under his leadership. All of us are grateful that he will continue to play a role in the policy direction of the company." Grumman Corporation (NYSE:GQ) is best known as a leading maker of military aircraft and aerospace syBtem«. Other busii\esses include integrated information processing systems, emergency vehicles, aluminum truck bodies and boats. The company has headauarters at Bethpage, New York, and employs 33,000 worldwide. Sales in 1986 were S3.5 billion. In his first major new appointment of 1988, Nassau County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta today announced the appointment of Joseph Jablonsky as Nassau County Sheriff, At the same time, Gulotta also unveiled a new administrative structure for the Sheriffs Department which will, according to the County Executive, "eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and duplication of responsibility, streamline administration while saving $123,500 in salaries annually." "I am confident that we are putting into place a solid fr%meyi^,ork of, administrative responsibiiity which will improve efficiencies and operations in this important County department by eliminating unnecessary and costly bureaucracy and streamlining the chain of command," Gulotta said. Previously the chain of command at the Correctional Center included the Assistant Warden, the Commissioner of Corrections, the Undersheriff and the Sheriff. Under Gulotta's recommended changes, the position of Commissioner of Corrections and Assistant Warden would be eliminated and the Undersheriff would be assigned to civil duties, thereby reducing layers of bureaucracy from five to two, and saving $ 123,500. In addition, the Sheriff, who has ultimate responsibility, for the Correctional Facility will now be permanently stationed at the facility in East Meadow, instead of Mineola and the Undersheriff will be reassigned to Mineola. The stationing of the Sheriff at the Correctional Facility will enable a more direct "hands on" control of the jail. The specific changes outlined by Gulotta are: * The appointment of Jablonsky as the new Sheriff. Jablonsky had previously served as Undersheriff and has been with the Sheriffs Department since 1973. He is married and lives with his wife and one daughter in Hicksville. His annual salary will be $68,610. Jablonsky holds a Masters Degree in Professional Studies (specialization in Criminal Justice) from C. W. Post College and has also served with the Department of Probation prior to his S h e r i f f ' s Department assignments. • The appointment of Saul "Curly" Jackson as the new Undersheriff. Jackson, who previously served as Commissioner of Corrections, will be assigned to oversee the Department's Headquarters/Civil Function in Mineola, which includes the execution of Court Orders and Notices of Judgments. Jackson has served with the Sheriffs Department since 1974. He holds a Masters Degree in Education from American University in Washington. D.C. and served as a decorated colonel in the U. S. Army for 30 years, serving in variety of instructional and command positions. His annual salary will be $66,110. • The appointment of Walter Stenzel as Warden of the Nassau County Jail in East Meadow. Stenzel previously served as Assistant Warden. Stenzel has accum-lated 34 years in the Corrections field, including 27 as Assistant Warden. He also served with the U. S. Army Airforce in World War II. His annual salary will be $58,642. "By implementing these administrative changes, we will save County taxpayers a substantial sum of money, and at the same time, provide far greater accountibil-ity and responsible chain of command. I am optimistic that these changes, when combined with other recommendations forthcoming from our jail consultant, as well as our Blue Ribbon Panel on Criminal Justice, will augur well for the future Nassau County Jail, the Sheriffs Department and the entire criminal justice system in our County and our taxpayers." First Annual Food Drive A Huge Success *-'mM Nassau County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta, (left), met with Jerome P. Donohue, President of the Nassau County Civil Service Employees Association, to discuss the outstanding success of the "First Annual Food Gift Drive" of Nassau County.

She came around the corner of the frozen-food section – she was large but I wasn't surprised at her weight since 35 percent of Americans are obese (referenced: CDC Statistics 2011), the highest country-level on record. What surprised me most was the size of her two children, one in the cart and one walking – both obviously not just overweight but obese. I'm sure what causes Mom's obesity is primarily stress-driven, perhaps a total lack of dietary common-sense, and limited physical-exercise. With the exception of a childhood disease, I'm also positive that the cause of her children's obesity is her and perhaps her husband. I know mom can see that her children are obese, but I believe she has no clue related to the complications of childhood obesity – so I'd thought I'd help her to understand.
Hey Mom, the complications of childhood obesity are many so let's start with the psychosocial. Children who are obese develop a very-early sense of poor self-esteem – once they begin school they can't side-step or avoid the reaction of children around them, which is often brutal. They are called names such as "fatty", they are infrequently chosen as friends and most often can't participate in physical activities – all isolating them socially. Children who are obese develop the eating habits directed/allowed by their parents and unfortunately often develop depression, a major factor in poor health. Obesity influences self-esteem – self-esteem is often the "engine of success".
Along with psychological/psychosocial complications are the physical complications – and they are many. Obesity can often cause asthma and that could result in sleep apnea and exercise intolerance – without proper sleep, both education and the learning process suffer - that places your child even more out-front for criticism and insult. With obesity comes the risk of cardiovascular disease, to include chronic inflammation of the heart and high blood pressure, neurological damage caused by stroke, and Type-2 diabetes. These are the "obvious" physical complications of obesity – it's often the unobvious that create the most havoc.
Our physical foundation/structure is primarily based on the skeletal and muscular structure that gives the body support and motion. When a child is obese they're put into harm's way by their parents' inattention and limited education – the extreme weight weakens the bones, damages the joints, and can lead to both stress and damage to tendons, muscles, and ligaments. This often leads to physical exercise limitations based on the child's inability to "move" their bodies with efficiency and without harmful stress. It is a simple fact Mom – if your child can't move without exhaustion and pain – they will not move.
So as a mom or dad (or both) with an obese child what do you do? Follow these pathways: One - be aware of the real dangers of obesity, do research on the Internet, and contact your doctor to setup an appointment for the family. Two - no child plans their meals, cooks their food or preps the day to include rest and exercise – parents do that, come on, be a parent and love them enough to guide them. Three (most importantly) – be an example of health, give them pride in self – tell them you love them often, and lead them into a healthy, well-educated, and productive life. Hey - real parents care.

TORRINGTON — City officials Tuesday approved an estimated $133,600 improvement to the Fuessenich Park bleachers. Parks and Recreation Superintendent J. Brett Simmons said the present condition of the bleachers have been deemed a potential safety issue.
Both the Torrington Board of Finance and City Council committed to the renovation to the baseball stadium's rotting, splintering and breaking wooden bleachers, a task funded entirely through the Parks and Recreation Department's recreation activities account.
The soft financial estimation was developed by Milone and MacBroom, whose engineering team analyzed the wooden bleachers and the masonry repairs required to support the new aluminum bleachers.
"It's been a long time coming," Simmons said.
Simmons is unsure of how long the current wooden bleachers have been in place, but said his department has been wrestling with the idea for four years, with research dating back to 2005.
"Unfortunately funding has always been an issue and to date, we have not been able to secure the necessary funds to complete this project," Simmons wrote in a memo to Mayor Ryan Bingham.
And now that he's gained the support of other city officials, Simmons plans to replenish the account over the next four years by committing $16,700 from the department's capital budget. Completing the project this way, he said, will help the department maintain its budget and still support the project.
"In addition," Simmons wrote, "This project would greatly enhance the overall aesthetics of this very popular baseball stadium."
Fuessenich Park is home to the Torrington Titans, Torrington High School baseball, American Legion baseball and other leagues.

Name: Tanaila Herme
Status/Job: Lady-in-waiting to the princess of Rone
Sex: Female
Description: Tanaila is a petite girl of 17 and the daughter of the dead queen's younger sister. She has long light brown hair and clear chocolate-colored eyes. Though most nobles her age would be betrothed if not wed, Tanaila's mom her been unable to find her a suitor. The girl had been born a full year after her mother's husband was killed in a hunting accident, and nobody of any status wants to marry a bastard.
Personality: Tanaila is spunky and somewhat spoiled. Her tutors never put much care into her studies. After all, she would never be in a position of power and didn't have much use for an education. Sometimes she can be manipulative, behaving like an angel to impress visiting dignitaries. But she doesn't take life very seriously; nobody expects her to.
Opinion on the Agreement: Tanaila doesn't care about war one way or the other. But she does think the princess's role in the whole matter is very exciting, and hopes her cousin will marry the Prince of Thasah so that she can come along.

Delta Airlines adds $3 fee for flights to and from Europe
For now, it will cost an additional $6 per roundtrip ticket on Delta Airlines for travelers going between the US and Europe.
The carrier rolled out the surcharge on January 2 and it applies to tickets purchased in the US, a spokesman told OPIS via e-mail.
The surcharge was rolled out just as US carriers, as well as the entire commercial aviation industry, had to start complying with carbon reduction regulations in Europe. Those regulations took effect on January 1. The airline declined to comment specifically on the reason for the fee.
Airlines for America, an industry trade group, sued the European Union, asking to be exempt from the carbon reduction plan, saying the scheme was in violation of international law. The European Court of Justice ruled in late December that all airlines serving Europe are required to participate in carbon reduction efforts. Airlines for America, in a statement said it was reviewing its options following the court's ruling. That indicates it could be considering another appeal or lawsuit.
In 2011, the US House of Representatives passed a bill that would make it illegal for US airlines to comply with the EU regulations. But, the Senate never passed a companion measure.
Under the EU carbon reduction plan, airlines must account for carbon emissions for flights taking off and landing in Europe. The measurement of carbon emissions begins at the point where the aircraft pushes away from the gate, regardless of whether that is in Europe or not. And the measurement ends when the plane arrives at its new gate, regardless of whether that is in Europe or not.
On Wednesday, December 2012 EUA carbon credits settled at $6.57 and December 2012 CER credits ended at $3.83.
The price for clean jet fuel, as assessed by OPIS, stood at $1,039.51/mt for Rotterdam barge fuel. Meanwhile, U.S. jet fuel was running over $3.05/gal.

Might you fine fellows consider using some h264 based streaming/posting solution? I know adobe's flash player supports it and IIRC most licensing of x264 has been done at no cost (at least it is for avail media). It would be a big step up from the horrific quality of youtube. I'd also settle for some high res shots of the new mini subnotebook / netbook / whatever.Aug 11, 2008 Comment Link

i think it is a premium limited edition one that are specifically given out at an event. in some of the videos you see different power adapters being given out.
the one that devs will eventually get will probably only have the adapter relevant to the country you are in.

They call him the Devil Earl - a scoundrel and accused murderer who grew up on the violent London streets. A proper young lady risks more than her reputation when consorting with the roguishly handsome Lucian Langdon, but Lady Catherine Mabry believes she has no choice. To protect those she loves, she would do anything - even strike a bargain with the devil himself.
Lucian desires respectability and a wife above all else, but the woman of his choosing lacks the social graces to be accepted by the aristocracy. Catherine can help Lucian gain everything he wants. But what she asks for in exchange will put their very lives in jeopardy. When danger closes in, Catherine discovers a man of immense passion and he discovers a woman of immeasurable courage. As secrets from his dark past are revealed, Lucian begins to question everything he knows to be true, including the yearnings of his own heart.

"5+ stars! So far beyond my expectations!!"
Wow. I never expected this story to be so good. More than good. There is more depth, passion, love and friendship than I ever imagined. The story is magnificent with a real plot and wonderful characters. The growth of these characters is well-written, and the plot is very unique and powerful. It does not feel contrived; instead, there is a true story here with twists and turns that make In Bed With the Devil a "stay up all night" sort of book... :)
This is my second Lorraine Heath. I didn't like the Outlaw and the Lady, so I was hesitant to listen to this. I've owned this audiobook for nearly two years. But what a treat when I finally gave it a chance!
Added to the great writing is the amazing talent of Susan Ericksen. (the male narrator only reads a few journal entries.) She is one of the all time great narrators, and she brought this story to life beautifully. Honestly the reason I gave Heath another chance was bc of Susan Ericksen.
This audiobook deserves every star. And I highly recommend it to fans of Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Elizabeth Hoyt...really any Historical Romance lover.
As for the sensuality level of the book: it is less steamy that Elizabeth Hoyt, but far more than Julia Quinn. The chemistry between the Hero and Heroine is sizzling. Lorraine Heath delivers the perfect balance of passion and friendship, turning what begins as lust to the truest love. Thus she leaves her readers very satisfied!!! :)
I already have the second book of this series downloaded and I'm ready for more! ❤❤❤
I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"Exceeded my expectations..."
I have that happy satisfied feeling of finding a new series (new for me) that I Absolutely love. It's a moving story with unexpected twists. It does have some back stories about rape, murder and domestic violence but it wasn't too graphic. Although this is a romance, the're many things happening that are very interesting.
What I loved the most about the story is the way the author developed the relationship between Catherine and Luke. There was instant attraction but they were friends first and slowly their friendship developed into intense love. This audiobook was so worth the money and it's one I will definitely listen to again.
Narration: this is the first book I've listed to that has been narrated by Susan Ericksen. I found her voice and accent very appropriate. There wasn't a really marked difference between the male and female voices but it did not take away from the story. You could still tell when a different character was speaking.
For me this was a Historical Romance five star listen and I'm ready to start book 2 immediately.
When I clean, drive or exercise I listen to romance. The steamier the better but it must have a great story as well!
"Sometimes you don't realize what you want"
This was an easy book to listen to. I listened as I did my spring cleaning, not giving it my full attention, but was able to enjoy the story. It was not a wholly original type of story, instead a historical romance that follows much the same plot as many others. The Lord of mystery and the Lady that does not seek to marry for fear that it will take away from her freedom. However their were a few differences in the ways that bring this couple together. I found this to be an credible historical romance without much make it above the ordinary. Okay but not extraordinary, still worth a read if you enjoy predictable yet steady romance. The love scenes were not shocking or exorbitant. Overall a pleasant read.
Audio-fiction ADDICT !
"Wow !"
I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was my first book for this author. I really really enjoyed it! Solid story, alot of excitement and sensuality. The characters are so engaging . The interaction between the characters was really captivating. Excellent job on the narration! BUY IT ! Enjoy the listen ;)
Never judge a book by its movie
"Fantastic new series"
A romantic twist blending this story with Oliver Twist.
The Characters and the plot, lots of twists and turns.
You really didn't know where this story was going to the very end!
Can't wait for the rest of the books
I loved Anthony Ferguson, as Luke, reading excerpts from his diary
I was very weepy as the book drew to a close, the story could have gone either way, and you just wanted it to work out with Catherine and Luke.
A great book, can't wait for book 2 about Dodger.
"convincing Victorian romance"
Damsel in distress and a gentleman in disguise. Known plot in a refreshingly new packaging. Enjoyable from the first minute to the very end. Good narration though a times I found it a bit too forced. Still, highly recommendable.
Love Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Romance books.
"Very Enjoyable"
This is the firs book by Lorraine Heath I have purchased. I don't know why I had not her of her before, but I will be buying more of her books. This was a really good story with great characters.
Compared to some I've given 5 Stars, because they were entertaining, I would rate "In Bed With The Devil" 10 Stars.
It was compelling with it's unique story, great cast of characters, and superb narration.
It has so much going for it, I don't want to give anything more away than has already been said....you deserve to be able to enjoy it to the fullest, as you marvel at the unexpected.
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"What the Dickens?"
Despite the boring narration and the too numerous mentions and/or parallels to "Oliver Twist" I still really enjoyed this book. I cared about the main characters and the story was interesting. Even though there were several unbelievable parts, I still found myself rooting for the main couple. Overall it was worth a credit, but I'm glad I got it on sale instead.
I'm addicted to audiobooks. I've listened to probably 300 (maybe more) audiobooks most of which are historical romances. Listening is much easier than reading and you can do other things while listening. When reading you can't do anything but read.
Yes, I'd definitely recommend this book to a friend. This was my first book by Lorraine Heath, and it won't be my last. It has a very good story and a good romance. I'm so glad that this is the first in the series. I LOVE a good historical romance series!
The book reminds me a little of the Rohan series by Anne Stuart, but that might be because it had the same narrator. Although it is about a supposedly bad person finally being recognized as good by the 'ton'.
I think Susan Ericksen was perfect for this book although I think she has done a better job on other books. Sometimes I had a difficult time keeping the voices/characters straight because she didn't alter her voice enough. I've not had that problem with her narrations in the past.
Moving onto the next book in this series. I tend to listen to mostly books that are in a series and I like series best when characters reappear in each book. I hope I won't be disappointed with the next books in this series.
