Yahoo, Google primed for search warJanuary 14, 2004
The search giant's market share among home, work and university Internet users climbed from 42.7 percent to 43.1 percent from March to April of this year--up from 36.5 percent in April 2005, ComScore said Monday.
In second place, Yahoo saw its market share hold steady at 28 percent between March and April, a decrease of 2.7 percent from last year. Less than 6 percentage points separated Google's and Yahoo's respective market shares in April 2005.
Time Warner's America Online search dropped to 6.9 percent from 9 percent in April 2005. InterActiveCorp Search & Media's rebranded Ask.com network also witnessed a slight decline, falling to 5.8 percent from 6.1 percent at the same time last year.
For the first time, the search engine operated by the social networking site MySpace.com appeared in the rankings. The company held a distant 6th place in the market share rankings--grabbing only about half a percent--in April, but ComScore indicated it may be worth keeping an eye on the smaller player "due to the site's remarkable popularity."

Ten models took to the runway at a fashion show benefitting the Human Rights Campaign at the MINI Cooper of Chicago dealership in Lincoln Park Friday. Decorated and curated for an extraterrestrial, "Universal Love" theme, the Midsummer Fashion Show raised $4,615 for the national LGBT rights group.
The event was put on through a collaboration with MINI of Chicago, AKIRA Chicago, The Denim Lounge and over 30 other sponsor organizations.
"We're gonna do these every single year until people stop coming," said Ricardo Sebastian, founder at LUX MGT, who started raising funds for Chicago organizations as a class project while he was a student at Robert Morris University. Now, Sebastian and his business partner Joanna Fugate, hold four signature benefits a year – all in the name of helping local organizations increase their visibility.
[button size="small" link="http://chicagophoenix.com/galleries/hrc-midsummer-fashion-show-2012/"] View the gallery [/button]
"In October we're planning an event to raise funds for The American Cancer Society, and in November [the benefit is for] Children's Memorial Hospital," Sebastian said.
The fashion show was the second annual summer fashion show that LUX has organized. Earlier this year, they held a Spring benefit for Locks of Love. They're scheduled to do two more benefits for the year and planning has already begun, said Sebastian.
Holding the show for the HRC put a focus on LGBT rights.
"Getting the word out about LGBT rights is really great and teaming up with a fashion show is a great way to raise awareness," said Jamal Webster of Chicago's North Side.
Many in attendance thought the fashion show was a great way to bring in money for the HRC.
"They raised a ton of money," said Steven Recker, who is also of the North Side. "They definitely got me to sign up for the HRC listserv and thinking about learning more about the organization and how I can help."
Terrence Chappell, editor-at-large of Chicago Pride, Jeff Conway, producer of NBC's "24/7 Chicago," and Brette Borow, editor-in-chief of Girls Guide To… emceed the show and introduced the night's fashion showcase.
"The HRC is a great organization… this is my second year with LUX doing this event and it's always very diverse – it's a fun loving crowd," said Conway. "You know at fashion shows sometimes you can get a little pretentiousness, but here everyone is fun loving you walk the walk and it's just a fun night."
HRC was in attendance to talk about the organization and what it does in and around the Chicago area. Registrars were on hand to sign people up for their volunteer lists and to offer them a chance to be added to their mobile action network.
"The atmosphere was different, very creative. I was expecting to be over by the cars or something, you don't think that the service area of an auto shop is going to be good – but it was great," said Nikki Whatley of the Gold Coast. "He gets more and more creative every time. I'm expecting his next show to be in an airplane hangar or something."
Like many of the attendees, Sebastian looks forward to the upcoming LUX events and the positive effect the fundraising will have on local causes.
"We are doing these events for non-profits — that has always been the priority. Raising money and awareness is what we do," said Sebastian. "Supporting companies, brands and emerging entrepreneurs is what we stand for."

Phoenix to Sedona (Through the High Roads)
The hustle and bustle in The Valley of the Sun has been getting to me lately and after finding excuse after excuse of why I couldn't, I finally decided to my R1200GS Adventure out and let it do what it was made for.
I had researched and seen that if you take the backroads from Phoenix, up to Prescott via Wickenburg, then on up through Jerome and down into Sedona you get to experience some beautiful scenery and epic twisties, my intuition proved to be correct.
Don't underestimate this journey if you plan on taking it yourself, if you stop for lunch, dinner and a few bathroom breaks it will most likely take you 10~12 hours, a full day so start early. I would also advise that if you are even slightly afraid of heights, yet still want to see Sedona you take I-17 to HWY 179 to Sedona. I would rate most of these twisties as expert level, as they can be decreasing radius, camber while on a decline/incline (they like to change drastically in a heartbeat on you) but once you learn them, the road quality is top notch and much fun can be had on them. I also advise that if like me you plan to do this on a dual sport bike you leave yourself a lot more time, maybe make a two day trip out of it as there are a LOT of well groomed and incredibly interesting looking trails along the way that I would rate everything from beginner on a V-strom to Expert level.
My recommendation would be spending the night in Jerome, a small little western ghost town a ways out of Sedona that is built on the side of a cliff and a huge tourist/motorcyclist destination. There are however a lot of great places to stay in both Prescott, Jerome and of course Sedona is a big tourist destination with everything from western style log cabins beneath the red rocks to world class five star resorts (plenty to do there if you have the time). I would also like to recommend the place I ate diner ate, a small gourmet hot dog shop called "Simon's Hot Dogs" which are anything other than your typical hot dog, and at only about $6 a plate you feel like you're coming away from a successful robbery. The challenge however is finding the little place. It's actually inside the Oak Creek Brewing Company in Sedona, I'll leave that challenge up to you.
You begin the trip leaving Phoenix on Grand Ave. (Hwy 60) and take that all the way to Wickenburg. In Wickenburg head Northwest on Hwy 93 (Towards Prescott/Yarnell). A few miles later you'll turn right, heading North again on Hwy 89. This will take you through to Prescott. Once you are in Prescott, take a right heading East on "Gurley St." (Hwy 89) and continue North until you get to the junction of Hwy 89A which turns off to the right and heads East, the signs will begin to direction you to Sedona and give you the mileage remaining. Continue East into the mountains, staying on Hwy 89A (you want to go to Sedona, not Prescott Valley). This will take you up to Jerome and all the way into Sedona. Once you're in Sedona I leave it up to you what you would like to do, but if you take Hwy 179 South it will take you through the Red Rock Canyon and right beside the famous Cathedral Rock. There are a BUNCH of "Scenic View" areas and lookouts off Hwy 179, I highly recommend it for photo opportunities and a lovely ride. It finally intersects with I-17 which will take you back down into Phoenix (it's a scenic stretch of interstate as well if you haven't been down it and want some laid back strait and narrow highway riding).
A brief outline of the route itself.
Some, but not all of the twisties along the way.
The day was an adventure before I even got to Wickenburg, had to pull off on the side of the road and dig a bee out of my jacket sleeve- one which decided to sting the living hell out of me. Luckily I'm not allergic to bees...
Stopped in Wickenburg to get some Jerky, but after seeing a price tag of $10 a bag I walked away as inconspicuously as possible.
Yours truly in the prairie just outside Wickenburg.
About to head up into the mountains headed to Prescott.
Once you get into the mountains things get a LOT greener. You go from one world to another in a very short span of time.
Made it into Prescott right around the start of rush hour. A really neat mountain town, definitely worth a check out if you're here.
Heading out of Prescott will take you by Watson Lake, a beautiful sight.
This is where Hwy 89 splits off to Hwy 89A. Truly beautiful scenery, not far away is Prescott Valley.
Up in the mountains headed to Jerome.
Once the pines end, the red rocks begin and you know you're getting close to Sedona.
Jerome is a very cool little village built right onto the side of a cliff. Beware if you are scared of heights, the streets have very tight little turns and some of the streets put you right out on the edge. Rider discretion is advised. As I mentioned earlier, it's a major motorcycle hotspot, this fellow on the victory had ridden up from Mesa to stay the night at the really neat old "ghost town inn."
The views from there are spectacular...
I was beginning to worry- wondering if I would make it to Sedona by sunset. I actually went the speed limit for a change, maybe even a few over... At last, I made it just in the nick of time and what a perfect time to roll in, right at sunset. It felt just like the old west of eons past, except this time the steed was made out of iron.
As I mentioned earlier, there's a place in Sedona called Simon's Hot Dogs, it's inside this place here, the Oak Creek Brewing Company, which is just about a block off the main street coming into town, in a little alley.
$5.95 ($6.95 vegan style) will get you any hotdog, chips and a pickle. Let me assure you, the pictures as good as they look do them no justice. Unbelievably good, not your average gourmet hot dog.
When I left after sunset, I went down Hwy 179 South which goes right past cathedral rock through the "red rock canyon." There are scenic viewpoints all over the place. The frustrating part is that my crappy little camera refuses to take night time photos, even with a full moon and a billion stars out. I have never seen a night so clear, so brightly lit by the moon and stars, this is the best I could capture it as I headed out. Riding through here on such a clear, beautiful night was an incredible experience.
Heading down Hwy 179 takes you back to I-17 which in itself is a beautiful ride all the way from Flagstaff down into Phoenix. Speaking of which, if you've never been around Arizona before I'd recommend going up another 40 miles to Flagstaff.
This ride can be done on just about any kind of motorcycle, just be about your wits and use caution, there are some very high points next to cliffs and sharp turns that could lead some one coming in too hot right off a thousand foot drop. If you're from out of state our overseas, keep in mind you can rent quite literally every kind of motorcycle imaginable in Phoenix. Fully equipped adventure bikes, Harleys and Cruisers, Sport Bikes, Touring bikes, you name it there are places here who rent them by the dozens.
Well I hope you folks enjoyed, happy trails!

Hey - That is my tour loop! I lived in Scottsdale in the 80's. Friends and family from California would visit and I took them on that loop, but the other direction. Up Scottsdale Blvd to show them the fantastic homes planted on the slopes of Black Mountain. Then west to pick up 17 north to Montezuma Castle. Then to Sedona. South on 89 to see the Tuzigoot ruins. Then Jerome, Prescott and Wickenburg to the 60 east.
My people were always amazed by the distinct changes in terrain and weather. Within a one day loop they could see lush desert, grassy ranch land, red rock country, alpine country and even a little snow during the right time.
Jerome was a mining town. My long deceased father worked there in 1927.
Thanks for the RR. I just closed on a little place next to the Boulders resort. I'll be there next month to set up my new garage. I can hardly wait. I think 89A is one of the best motorcycle touring roads ever. That and highway 12 in southern Utah.

That has me drooling, to be in AZ and to have a BMW GS !!!
I just "discovered " AZ this March, down there for 10 days with a
bike club (bicycles) from MN in March. Loved it! One day we bicycled from
Apache Jct to past Tortilla Flats, til road turned to dirt. Where does that
road go, ever ridden it on your GS?
We recently retired and want to try out AZ for a month this winter so
if anyone knows of a decent house/condo/mobile home rental for one
month, please let me know.
I'm currently thinking about getting a new R1200GSW and your post makes

Nice write up! My GF and I did a loop(by POS rental car) from Chandler to Sedona via Payson, Pine, Montezuma etc. on Hwy 87. On our way back thru Prescott we detoured to Jerome for dinner. Wow, what an awesome little town! It actually reminded me of the hill towns in Tuscany, built slap on the side of the mountain. If I remember right, it was a copper mining town.
Going to Jerome was the GF's driving leg. She almost had a heart attack parallel parking the car on the cliff where that red car is in your first pic of Jerome.
Thanks for the memories

Men of the Cloth (2013), 96 min., directed by Vicki Vasilopoulos John D. Calandra Italian American Institute
25 W. 43rd Street, 17th floor
New York, NY 10036 Starting in the mid-twentieth century, with the advent of ready-to-wear clothing and the industrialization of the tailoring trade, many Italian master tailors had to abandon their beloved craft. Men of the Cloth is a film about three master tailors navigating their challenging roles in the twenty-first century. Nino Corvato owns a busy shop in midtown Manhattan. In Ardmore, Pennsylvania, Joe Centofani trains a young apprentice. And in Penne (Pescara province), Checchino Fonticoli is a consultant at the Brioni clothing factory, where the tailoring tradition is modernized. Through a richness of detail — the whir of the sewing machine, the sharp slicing sound of scissors, intricate scenes of the construction of a suit — Men of the Cloth unravels the complexity of the tailors' artistry and their devotion to their craft. Post-screening discussion with the director led by Joseph Sciorra, Calandra Institute.

Fresh Pasta With Mushroom Soffritto
From "Comfort food, Italian style: Five Portland chefs share recipes", by KERRY NEWBERRY, March 2013
Recipe from Jake Martin, Accanto and Genoa restaurants, Portland
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Fresh pasta dough is very forgiving. There are just a few tricks: Let the dough rest about 1 hour to allow it to become evenly hydrated before rolling it out, but use it the same day before it turns an unappealing gray color (if it does darken, you can still use it. The color will blend away during rolling). Also, keep some semolina flour on hand, which works better than all-purpose to keep the dough from sticking and tearing as you roll. If you don't have a pasta rolling machine, you can use a rolling pin. It'll just be a bit harder to get it very thin, but still worth the effort.
- 1/2 pound (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 whole egg
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Semolina flour, for dusting
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as crimini, chanterelle, hedgehog), cleaned and chopped
- 3 large shallots, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
- Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving
To make the pasta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the middle and pour in the egg, egg yolks, oil and milk. Mix the liquid ingredients with a fork until combined, then begin incorporating small amounts of the flour until a dough begins to form. When it's too thick to mix with a fork, overturn bowl onto a work surface and knead the dough by hand for a few minutes until it's smooth and no longer shaggy. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Cut off a palm-sized piece of dough (keep the rest wrapped in plastic) and run through the thickest setting on a pasta machine. Fold the sides in so they meet in the middle and run through the machine again. Repeat. Now change to the next (thinner) setting and run dough through without folding. Repeat on the next setting and so on until you get to the thinnest setting (or second thinnest if you prefer). If the pasta ever starts to tear or stick, dust it with semolina flour or more all-purpose flour. If you don't have a pasta machine, roll out the pasta as thin as possible using a rolling pin.
Dust the pasta sheet with flour. Fold in half, then in half again. Slice into strands. For tagliatelle, slice 1/4 inch wide. For pappardelle, slice 3/4 inch wide. Unroll and place on a floured surface until ready to cook. Repeat with the remaining dough.
To make the soffritto and serve: Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt generously. Just before serving, add noodles to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes and drain, reserving some of the pasta water.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs, season with salt and pepper, and saute until golden. Transfer to a small bowl.
Wipe the pan clean and return to medium-high heat. Melt half the butter until foamy, then add half the mushrooms and season with salt. (The pan should be big enough to hold half the mushrooms in a single layer. If not, you will have to cook them in more than two batches so they'll sear instead of steam.) Saute mushrooms until moisture is almost evaporated. Add half the shallots and garlic; saute until translucent. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining butter, mushrooms, shallots and garlic.
Return the first batch of mushrooms to the pan and heat through. Add the cooked pasta and about 2 tablespoons of pasta water. Toss to coat noodles. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in marjoram. Twist pasta into individual serving bowls and spoon extra mushroom soffritto on top. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

EA Sports is using a fan vote to determine the face of Madden '12 and has created a 32-player tournament to decide the winner. Each team gets a representative, and for the Steelers it's wide receiver and Dancing With The Stars contender Hines Ward.
He's taking over popular culture one step at a time this offseason.
Ward enters the March Madness style tournament as a No. 2 seed and opens up with a first-round matchup against Carlos Dunlap from the Cincinnati Bengals (you can vote here). Some of the other participants are kind of odd, including New England's Danny Woodhead and Seattle's 12th man. Are the Seahawks that lacking in the star power department that they have to use their fans for this? At least the Lions have Ndamukong Suh or Calvin Johnson to turn to.
The only Steelers player to grace the cover of Madden was safety Troy Polamalu (who shared it with Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals) for last year's edition of the iconic video game. If you believe in the Madden cover jinx you could argue that's why he missed most of the season due to injury.
I don't care if Ward is on the cover one way or the other (and for as superstitious as I tend to be, I don't believe in cover jinxes), so I'm not here to rally the fans to stuff the box for him. Honestly, I'd probably vote for Woodhead the entire way through just because I think it would be hilarious to see him, of all people, on the cover of one of the most popular video games ever. Any guy that can go into a sporting goods store and anonymously sell his own jersey without people (most people, anyway) realizing it's him is OK in my book. Even if he does play for the Patriots.
I will, however, toss this question out to the class: Do you prefer the Madden game now with the advanced gameplay, incredible graphics and in-depth franchise modes, or are you like me and still blindly loyal to the Sega and Super Nintendo versions where the ambulance would run over injured players, while Pat Summerall would casually blurt out, "oh no, there's a man down"?
Like any other pizza-stuffed college student I spent many nights glued to the television playing the latest version of the game, mastering the playbooks and figuring out which play was the most unstoppable. While I haven't really played the game (or any video games) since college, I'm still attached to the early versions. I like the franchise modes that allow you to build teams over the years through the draft and free agency, but it almost got to the point where it became too realistic with ticket prices and profit margins.
Runaway ambulances all the way.

On May 15, district residents will be asked to vote for five school board members to fill three open seats for the next three years.
Barbara Fratterrigo and Colleen O'Connell are both seeking re-election. The three newcomers to the race are Carolyn Kelly, Gloria Towle-Hilt and John Fraher.
A 12-year veteran of the school board, Thomas Nachod, will not seek another three-year term after accepting a job out of town.
John Fraher
John Fraher, a 42-year resident of Guilderland, said he would bring his experience as the chief financial officer for a group of six health-care companies to the Guilderland School Board.
As part of his job, Fraher's responsibilities include health-care reimbursement regulatory issues, corporate governance, budget forecasting, investments, insurance and pension management.
The reason, primarily, I'm running is my background is financial in nature, said Fraher.
After speaking with his neighbors, Fraher said he heard a general concern about taxes in the community.
"There are a great deal of rising costs in the school system," said Fraher. "I think we have an excellent school system, but I am concerned about the growing tax burden on the residents. It's getting more difficult for the working family to pay their taxes."
Fraher has one child who graduated from Guilderland High School, two children at Farnsworth Middle School and another in second grade at Guilderland Elementary School.
In addition to addressing rising costs in the budget, Fraher said he believes the board needs "free and open" access to all matters before being able to arrive at appropriate conclusions.
"I believe in good sound government, proper government, and I hope that I can assist with my financial experience on the budget process," said Fraher, who added, "My first priority is obviously to the students and the teachers."
Barbara Fraterrigo
Barbara Fraterrigo, appointed in 1997, is seeking another term on the board.

Asia Pacific
Joseph Deane, Sean McCarthy
With Detroit's recent bankruptcy and Puerto Rico dealing with its own set of challenges, investors are facing a more complex environment in the municipal bond market. In the following Q&A PIMCO's Joseph Deane, David Hammer and Sean McCarthy discuss how investors can position their portfolios to protect themselves from increasing volatility – and how active duration management can help to capitalize on opportunities.
Q: How do the events in Detroit and Puerto Rico affect your views on municipal credit? A: Fundamentally, our approach and views have not changed, but we acknowledge that we have entered a less benign period for public finance. The U.S. economy is struggling to achieve escape velocity and although revenues and budgetary deficits are broadly improving, many state and local governments continue to recover and must now contend with rising healthcare costs and increased contributions to their unfunded public pension plans.
Despite historically low default rates for municipals relative to investment grade corporates, distressed municipal issuers are periodically compelled to restructure their obligations out of necessity. The inability of states and territories to avail themselves of Chapter 9 bankruptcy only increases the risk of a more disorderly outcome, since they can still default on payments, triggering a need to restructure. Recoveries may be lower than the historical experience, as initial indications in Detroit suggest.
We do not anticipate a significant increase in the frequency of municipal defaults, but there are pockets of credit stress in U.S. municipalities and territories, particularly those with unfunded pension obligations and budgetary imbalances that may be unsustainable given regional economic growth outlooks.
In those instances, the issuer's willingness to pay may simply fall short of capacity, and restructuring may be a rational economic consideration. Investors should consider the possibility of this outcome when making investment decisions and ascertain whether they are being adequately compensated for these risks.
Q: How should investors position their portfolios in light of Puerto Rico and Detroit credit stress? A: Large concentrations of exposure to Puerto Rico within subsets of the municipal market will likely lead to an increase in spread volatility across other municipal sectors in the coming quarters. Avoiding credits with large and growing fixed costs, such as unfunded pensions, and issuers that rely heavily on capital market access to fund operating deficits is only half the battle. Investors should continue to favor high quality and liquid investments that are more likely to outperform through periods of increased spread volatility.
It is also important to keep in mind that contemplated changes in monetary policy through a Federal Reserve tapering of asset purchases and bouts of higher interest rate volatility have had significant effects on municipal bond performance in recent months. Less liquid and riskier credits underperformed during this period. If these macro conditions persist, non-investment-grade municipals will struggle.
Q: How do you think about duration during periods of volatility and credit stress? A: During periods of increased municipal market stress and spread volatility the municipal curve tends to steepen more than swap or Treasury curves do. From June to July, the AAA muni yield curve steepened by more than 30 basis points between 10 and 30 years, while the Treasury curve flattened. This was similar to past cycles.
Active duration management is key to capitalizing on these moves. Given the high likelihood of further idiosyncratic steepening events over the cyclical horizon, investors should position their portfolios defensively and with reduced duration when option-adjusted spreads are relatively tight, particularly as PIMCO remains less constructive on the long end of the U.S. rates curve.
Q: What kind of opportunities does spread and curve volatility create for investors?
A: Assuming portfolios are positioned defensively when entering these periods of higher volatility, the market offers many attractive opportunities to deliver alpha through selective duration extension once technicals begin to show signs of improvement. For example, in June and July investors could purchase tax-exempt AA rated transportation revenue-backed bonds with 30-year maturities at yields equal to similarly rated taxable risk. In normal times AA rated tax-exempt debt trades at 85%–90% of comparably rated taxable debt, and in fact we have already experienced a great deal of mean reversion and spread tightening over the last month.
We also saw opportunities to capitalize on oversold liquid tax-exempt high yield bonds. However, in light of expected future market conditions we will likely tend to avoid adding this type of risk unless it is very cheap and liquid, and would likely take tactical positions that we would hold for shorter periods, selling them into market strength. Increasingly volatile markets present excellent opportunities to create value, but only if investors are able to be nimble. We believe active total-return-focused investors, as opposed to more passive buy-and-hold strategies, will be rewarded. Portfolios need to be repositioned quickly, which again means emphasizing liquid holdings.
Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. All investments contain risk and may lose value. Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit and inflation risk. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. There is no guarantee that these investment strategies will work under all market conditions or are suitable for all investors and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. Investors should consult their investment professional prior to making an investment decision.

floor insulation
does the vermiculite have to be mixed with concrete or can it be loose under the brick floor.Lay down the out line and fill with vermiculite add floor.
Re: floor insulation
No, loose vermiculite won't work, it's fluffy, and will push right out of the way, or compress to uslessness if you tried. The portland makes it into a rigid layer under your oven floor which can't move or sag at the risk of cracking or worse.
If you don't want to mess with the vermiculite concrete, use a refractory insulation board.
Re: floor insulation
so is this right 6 shoval fulls of vermiculite to 1 shoval full of portland cement then mix with water.and troll out.

Finding the perfect layout for the garden can feel a little like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle. Each element has a specific shape and size that needs to fit with the others in a way that will be both fruitful and functional. And while having a less than ideal garden layout isn't going to mean total garden failure, having a smart layout can make your job as a gardener much easier and more enjoyable.
Give Them Space to Grow
Spacing is key to a good garden layout. To start with, know how much space the plants you have chosen will need. Plants grow in 4D, so anticipating the height, spread, root depth, and time necessary will make the task of placing the plants in the garden easier. This information is almost always included on the seed packet or plant tag and is readily accessible if you don't have any personal experience with a particular variety to work with. Once you know what to expect from the plants you have chosen, follow these simple guidelines:
- Arrange plants by height, so that you don't unintentionally shade sun-loving plants that grow lower to the ground (I always plant my tallest plants on the north end of the garden to take full advantage of the angle of the sun). Also, make sure that you provide towering and climbing plants, like tomatoes and pole beans, with the proper plant supports to keep them growing up.
- When you think about how much space a plant will take up, think in terms of both spread and density. Vining crops like winter squash and melons need space to sprawl and meander, while a bush variety squash like zucchini is going to pack a lot of bulk into a relatively small space. If plants are too close together, yields can suffer and problems with mildew and fungus can increase.
- All plants need adequate root space to thrive. This is especially true with root crops like beets and radishes, so take care to create proper spacing through careful planting or thinning. If plants are too crowded, root formation will be inhibited.
- Take into consideration how much time it will take for each plant to mature. Those little pepper seedlings may look like they do not need to be spaced so far apart in late May, but by the time the July sun has kicked in, they'll most certainly need the extra space. Likewise, plants that grow to maturity quickly, like radishes and spring greens, will be long gone by the time the neighboring kohlrabi is ready to take up some of their space.
Give Yourself Space to Garden
When it comes to creating a garden layout, there are a number of approaches you can take to ensure that not only do your plants have the space that they need, but you have the space you need to access your garden as well. There is a delicate balance to making the most of your growing space and maintaining good access. Generous space will have it's advantages, but will limit the amount of food you can grow. More compact planting will increase your yield, but the more limited you are with where you can step in the garden, the greater an issue soil compaction will be. I find that a combination of these three approaches works well for me:
- Traditional rows are a good approach if you have a lot of space to work with. Wide spacing between rows allows you to avoid compacting the soil right next to the plant's root system, provides good airflow, and allows for easy access for tending and harvesting. Even a modest 1-2′ between rows can give a nimble gardener the necessary access to the fruits of their labor.
- If you're still looking to get a little more out of your garden, try using staggered or double rows. I've had really good results planting twice the number of onions in the same space by staggering the sets in a zipper pattern. Scallions are good choices for double rows, leaving a narrow space between the two rows and larger access rows on either side of the double row. In the same spirit, I've also had luck planting lettuce heads in clusters of three, increasing the number of plants I can get out of the same space, while still allowing space for the heads to grow outwards.
- Another approach that many small space gardeners might find useful is Square Foot Gardening. The basic premise is that you impose a grid on top of your garden, planting each square foot with a crop according to its size (i.e. one tomato plant per square foot, nine beets per square foot, twelve onions per square foot, etc.). The main advantage is that this method maximizes your growing space. You will also spend less efforts on weed control using this method. Square Food Gardening works best if you have a raised bed that you can access almost entirely from outside of the bed, but it could also be adapted to select sections of a regular garden as well.
Be a Matchmaker
There are some plants that grow really well together, providing mutual benefit in the form of pest control, nutrient sharing, and attracting pollinators. These are good plants to match up either as companion plants or as a part of your rotation plan from year to year. There are a number of companion planting charts floating around the internet (this one and this one are two of the most comprehensive that I've seen) that will tell you exactly who are the friends (and frienemies) of a particular plant, but here are a few general rules that will be helpful to keep in mind:
- Alliums are your onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, and chives. They are highly aromatic and are excellent companions to plants that are more susceptible to insect problems, like broccoli or cabbage.
- Amaranths include spinach, beets, and chard. They benefit greatly from aromatic companions, like umbellifers (will attract beneficial insects) and alliums (will repel bad insects).
- Brassicas are a diverse group which includes broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower cabbage kale, kohlrabi, radishes, turnips, and even arugula. They benefit from alliums for pest control and are excellent choices for attracting pollinators to the garden. Brassicas are a good choice to follow a particularly bad year with mildew (to which alliums are highly susceptible), as they can actually reduce mildew in the garden soil.
- Cucurbits include cucumber, melon, pumpkin, and squash. Cucurbits' vines and broad leaves provide good ground cover, which helps maintain moisture and prevent surface evaporation. Their spiny stems can also act as a pest deterrent for small animals that might be trying to get at your sweet corn.
- Legumes (peas, beans, and lentils) are nitrogen fixers and are incredibly important to recharge your garden soil. They take nitrogen from the air and turn it into a plant-friendly form in the soil. Legumes will prepare (and replenish) soil for heavy feeders like brassicas and nightshades.
- Nightshades are your tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant. They rely heavily on companions that attract pollinators to the garden. Planting aromatic herbs (like basil and oregano) with nightshades will improve the flavor of nightshades' fruit.
- Umbellifers include carrots, celery, dill, fennel, parsley, and parsnips. They provide aromatic benefits to the garden, attracting pollinators. Umbellifers are classic companions to nightshades.
Still having a hard time fitting everything in to your garden? Consider some of these solutions to making your garden plan work:
- Container Gardening: A lot of herbs and vegetable varieties will grow well in containers. In fact, sometimes it's actually more convenient to have your herbs in containers on your deck than in a corner of the garden. Choose varieties that are suitable for container growing and make sure that your containers provide enough root space to support the plant.
- Vertical Gardening: If your space is limited, consider incorporating some infrastructure for vertical gardening. Last year I installed a vertical garden fence in one of my raised beds to grow cantaloupe and cucumbers without giving up too much garden real estate and it worked incredibly well!
- Continuous Planting: If conditions allow, you can continuously replant your garden as things are harvested. After that garlic is harvested early in the season, use that same space for a late planting of radishes.
- Focus on color and texture: Plant a row of carrots with their delicate foliage behind a row of dark and sturdy Bull's Blood Beet greens or alternate your yellow banana pepper plants with your big red pimento type pepper plants to create some interest and contrast.
- Create a focal point: Go ahead and place that bean tower or your selection of heirloom tomatoes in the center of the garden and design out from there. You put a lot of thought into your garden choices, so go ahead and showcase them.
- Plant in formation: Take some inspiration from traditional potager garden plans, and use geometric formations for your rows and plant groupings. Create unique pathways or plant in concentric rows to make your garden stand out.

Apple wins right to Android development information in Motorola patent case
A U.S. judge in Chicago has just ruled that information about Google's acquisition of Motorola is a key part of Apple's claims against Motorola in their ongoing patent disputes and legal battles. The ruling means that Apple will get some key information about the development of Android, and potentially find other cases of infringement there. As you might expect, Motorola isn't thrilled about this, and claims "Google's employees and documents are not within the 'possession, custody, or control' of Motorola, and Motorola cannot force Google to produce documents or witnesses over Google's objections."
It's a little funny that Google acquired Motorola as a patent safety net, and now it's actually proving to be more of a liability. There's been some contention as to whether or not Google should be involved in Motorola lawsuits at all, since the acquisition is still in-progress. Of course, if Motorola can stand its ground against Apple in this case, it could set a strong defensive precedent for Android as a whole against future lawsuits. Details are skimpy on exactly how much access Apple will have to Google and Motorola's files; what are the odds that seeing them will provide Apple with any significant competitive advantage outside the court?

Apple wins right to Android development information in Motorola patent case
Android started development 2 years before iOS. yeahh...... Not to mention EVERYTHING Apple has ever done they have stolen. The kicker is, Apple admits it.
wow americans are so stupid. I'm glad that you guys are running less of the world now. They are both your companies. Both of which make the US lots of money! Btw, Apple made personal computing available for everyone, get your facts straight. They even made a movie about it so you don't have to read!! F-ing ignorant pieces of crap degrade society so badly there's really no hope
Apple STOLE that btw. dumb ass eurocunt.
Wow!! The Fanboys are alive and well here. That was a general statement to both companies and all the tech companies is a whole. I own and use both a Nexus S 4G and an iPhone 4S. Currently using the iPhone. I am nuetral in this whole patent thing. But I am getting tired of the crying from all the patent BS. Everything from looks and appearance to slide to unlock. To me, it was flawless checking my notifications coming from Android since Apple adopted the swipe down notifications. I think it's pretty fair to say they both like to borrow from each other. And it is also fair to say that the whole patent system is not set up or has prepared itself for the tech advances that have been seen in the recent years.
I am new to this community (iMore), but not to the Mobile Nations eco-system. But the automatic assumption that I am a troll by the immediate response is not a good introduction to this popular iOS website.
Google doesn't own the patent for the notification system on Android. Suggesting Google invented notifications is ridiculous. Furthermore, similar implementations to the iOS Notification Center were available on Cydia, so if you are going to accuse Apple of copying anyone it would be the developers of those jailbreak notification systems.
I never said anyone owned any patents. Furthermore I also said that both platforms have borrowed from each other. That sounds unbiased to me. I am not new to iOS. I am just new to the iPhone. I have been jailbreaking since the first gen iPod Touch when it was more complex then just click and let the program do everything. I am fully aware of what Cydia is. Just because something is available on Cydia doesn't mean Apple has any ownership of it. You are talking to me like I am a hater, yet I choose my iPhone over my Android phone except for when I need to complete certain tasks. Sorry for an honest and unbiased comment.
just, wow.
Best reply yet hahaha
On a related note...
Just say no! No you aren't going to force us a company to get access to another through a back door tactic. Apple had a history with this. Using Xerox & open source development then claiming it's their invention.
It's like drugs. Just say no Moto. Let the judge enforce his/her ruling. If they can.
This will be overthrown. For the obvious reason that motorola doesn't own, control or otherwise have anything to do with android development. Apple is retarded.
Appeal and have a trial. Poor desperate Apple - what a bad way to use your 32.98 billion. Android will over take either way. Apple need to realize you cannot stiffle other competitors, parts of the government use Android, even the NSA has its version of Android so Android is here to STAY!
Hello, really enjoyed this post! Well written. Will come back.
The Android Software Development Kit (Android SDK) provides all necessary tools to develop Android applications. This includes a compiler, debugger and a device emulator, as well as its own virtual machine to run Android programs.

IBM debuts encrypting tape drive

IBM unveils software for real-time data backupAugust 25, 2005
IBM's TS1120 aims to allow users to encrypt data at a tape level, whether they are using Big Blue mainframes or Unix systems, for example. The drives will also allow users to encrypt data without requiring certain applications be installed.
"As customers lose data and new legislation is passed...it's important for people to protect data," said Randy Middlebrooks, IBM's offering manager for enterprise storage. He added that tape drives are still one of the primary mechanisms businesses use to store data.
The TS1120, which is immediately available, is expected to carry a list price of $35,500.
IBM expects customers in the health care, insurance and finance industries to be big buyers of the encrypted tape drives, using it as a means to store customer data. Changes in the regulatory climate have placed greater privacy and security requirements on companies' maintenance of customer records, as well as corporate documents.
IBM is ramping up its efforts to bake encryption into its technology. Last April, the company unveiled its Secure Blue technology, which is designed to encrypt and decrypt data as it makes it way through a processor.

If you've ever thought about how nice it would be to zap your zits, you'll be happy to learn that it's now possible. The Zeno Acne Device was founded by the LumaTherm Inc. company which is dedicated to producing over the counter thermal devices for the purpose of improving specific skin conditions. The Zeno pro acne clearing device uses a special technology to significantly reduce the severity of a pimple in as little as a day. In order to stop a pimple before it has a chance to develop, you can also turn to the Zeno Heat Treat which kills bacteria and keeps pimples from forming in the first place.
If you suffer from breakouts, you have no doubt experimented with topical treatments. Some of the popular ingredients used to treat acne are not always tolerated by more sensitive groups and can cause redness, irritation, dryness and peeling. The Zeno acne removal system does not use any chemicals. The thermal technology is the secret to its effectiveness. As a result, there is no drying or peeling associated with this method.
International Customers - Zeno products cannot be shipped outside the U.S. or Canada due to converter adaptability issues.

Michael Savage Brings Bigotry and Anti-Semitism to the Airwaves
By Camille Jackson
There's just one thing. Savage is himself "a New York Jew," a man who was born — and legally remains — Michael Alan Wiener. According to the liberal media watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), Savage is the son of Jewish parents in the Bronx. He adopted his pseudonym in 1994, with his first major radio show.
Despite that, Savage frequently talks about Christianity as "our" religion and bitterly criticizes those he characterizes as "Christophobes." Now, with his attacks on Cohen, FAIR's Steve Rendall says Savage has crossed a new line.
"Savage's anti-Semitism is nothing new," said Rendall, a long-time analyst of Savage's show. "But this takes him a step beyond, into the company of neo-Nazi conspiracists like [hate group leader] Matt Hale and [former Klansman] Don Black.
"What's most remarkable, though, is how Savage has put the blatant racism and anti-Semitism of the shortwave dial onto commercially sponsored am stations."
That doesn't seem to bother his backers.
"It's hard for us to comment on anything other than Michael is just wildly popular," KNEW-AM spokesman Ken Kohl told the Report. "You don't achieve this kind of success in markets like New York and San Francisco unless you are wildly entertaining to huge numbers of people."
For their part, officials at Clear Channel Communications, after reviewing Savage's remarks about Cohen, limited themselves to a simple statement. "Clear Channel's radio stations," it said, "are operated and programmed locally based on extensive audience research."
Talk Radio Network (TRN), a radio syndicator based in Central Point, Ore., and featuring an array of hard-right hosts, did not respond to requests for comment. But it has defended Savage from the start. Last May, it went to federal court to sue the operators of three small Web sites critical of their leading host in a bid to shut them down.
After the public interest group Public Citizen stepped in to help defend the case, however, TRN seemed to crumble. On the December day that they were to respond to a defense motion to dismiss the case, TRN's attorneys instead asked the judge for permission to drop their own case. It was granted.
None of this has turned off Savage's publisher at WND Books, a new publishing house that is a partnership between the far-right World Net Daily Web site and Thomas Nelson Inc., a Nashville-based publisher of Christian books. WND Books also published Savage's latest book, The Enemy Within, which debuted this January at No. 8 on The New York Times' bestseller list.
"I can only say that I am a bit mystified by your assertion that Dr. Savage is anti-Semitic," David Dunham, who identified himself as WND Books publisher and a senior vice president at Thomas Nelson, Inc., said after reading transcripts of Savage's rhetoric.
"I would suppose that you are extrapolating this from his repeated comments that, 'Mr. Cohen is a Jew from New York.' That's no more anti-Semitic than if he said, 'David Dunham (me) is a Christian from Nashville.'"
Except for one thing. Cohen was born and raised in Virginia.

We have other makes of valve trombones available. I've test played them all both before and after Corky's restorations/customizations. They all are good playing horns or they wouldn't be on this site. We also have a limited number of Conn slide trombones (also test played) available. All the horns are special and we try to make each one unique in some way.
We've also added some trombone mouthpieces for sale. Most of them are either new or have been re-plated to new condition. All of them (including gold-plated) are available for immediate shipping. I believe in color-coding so you have your choice of a blue or black mouthpiece pouch. If you have any questions or comments about mouthpieces, feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you want your name added to our list of valve bone players, send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
You also find a list of all my recordings that have a valve bone somewhere.
We continue to thank Christine Derksen of The Conn Loyalist website for her permission to use her article as part of presentation in the informational section about Coprion bells.
Please, look around to see if there's anything you like.
I want this website to be a resource. Feel free to contact me with questions or comments or something you think I might be able to help with or something to help me and others seeking information about valve trombones.
Because we've sold a couple of bass trombones with Thayer axial-flow valves (a Conn 71H with a single Thayer and a Holton TR-181 with double Thayer) and have two Conn 88H's each with a single Thayer for sale on this website, I decided to post some axial-flow valve maintenance tips from Barbara Thayer. Thanks, Barb! (I don't know about you, but I'm not particularly mechanically minded so most if not all of the dismantling and reconstruction of a Thayer, I'd leave to a brass technician such as my man Corky, brass technician extraordinaire.)
You can reach me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We continue to thank Diego Urcola for providing the pictures of his "Triple C" with some pretty exclusive company!
Remember, the sound is the thing and that's why we love Conns!

I was practicing on the Conn (71H bass bone, nickel-plate over yellow brass bell, converted to a single Ed Thayer axial-flow valve--BR) early this morning. I am very happy that I decided to purchase this instrument. I like the way it plays and really like the clean lines of the instrument. The workmanship is immaculate. Please give my compliments to Corky. He is an artist in my opinion. Everything works well; the slide, the valve, even the tuning slides work better than any I've ever had.

This section includes forest planning, current projects, information about resource management, and available geospatial data.
Here is how we organized our information.
Planning: Generally it is planning at a broad scale, either at the Regional, Forest, or Landscape (Watershed) level. Assessments identify existing conditions, risks, opportunities, and desired future conditions. The end product does not require a NEPA decision, but is information that feeds into project analysis. The Allegheny Forest Plan establishes the primary management direction for the entire forest, providing a framework for what we do and where we do it. All other plans tier to the Forest Plan.
Projects: Projects are proposed actions that are analyzed through the NEPA process
Resources Management: In this 3-phase process, this section includes information about actions resulting from the forest's plans and projects. An example might be the restoration of a stream or a prescribed burn for wildlife purposes.
Geospatial Data: Allegheny National Forest Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data is available to download. Data is available in ESRI (shapefile) and Google Earth (kml) formats. For more information, go to the GIS webpage.
The Morrison Run project area is in the northern portion of the Allegheny National Forest (ANF) on the Bradford Ranger District. It is roughly defined by the Allegheny Reservoir to the west, north, and south, and private land to the east.
The overall purpose of the Morrison Run project is to conduct management activities that will achieve the goals and objectives of the ANF Land and Resource Management Plan (subsequently referred to as Forest Plan) (USDA-FS 2007). Specifically, the proposed actions have been designed to contribute to the desired conditions of MA 2.2, MA 3.0, and MA 7.1 (USDA-FS 2007, p. 26).
The Meads Mill Roads Analysis Project (MMRAP) Inter-Disciplinary (ID) team, in conjunction with line officers and the public, used a six step process to identify important road related issues, discuss direct and indirect road related impacts, and make recommendations on the desired future characteristics of the road system.

Kentucky who is at fault?
Jurisdiction / State: Kentucky
I was on a side ride at a stop sign, behind the pedestrian crossing and the thick white line that sits behind it. While stopped a vehicle was making a turn from the main road onto the side road and hit my vehicle. He told the officers my head was down, and i advised to the officer at the time the man seen me I was looking to put the vehicle in reverse to avoid the incident. What baffles me is I was in the correct place, fully stopped, when this vehicle hit me. Head up, down, or to either side would not have made this incident any more avoidable on my part but will I be responsible for correcting the damages on my vehicle or will his insurance company?
Either way I'm just curious that way I know what to expect.

If you were at a stop then full responsibility should fall on the other driver. Even if you were at a complete stop in the middle of the intersection it would not be tour fault. It is not important which way you were looking.

Vase with Arabic Inscriptions
Gift exchange, tribute, the spread of religion, and overland as well as maritime trade were major transmitters of motifs, designs, and techniques between China and the Roman Empire, Iran, and India. Primary goods, such as medicinal herbs, spices, animals (especially horses), animal products, ores, and metals traveled east to China, while silk products, ceramics, metal wares, paper, printed texts, and mint coins traveled west.
Certain objects draw attention to the resettlement of merchants and communities in foreign lands, such as the Muslim merchants from the Middle East and Central Asia who settled in China's Fujian Province during the Tang and Song periods and continued to immigrate there under the Mongol Yuan emperors. Objects with Islamic inscriptions such as this Qing vase—inscribed "Insha'allah [The Will of God]," "Ghudrat-allah [The Power of God]," and "Ni'mat-allah [The Grace of God]"—may have been made for this Chinese Muslim community.

Model Selita Ebanks celebrated her 25th birthday at Marquee last night, in the company of — who else? — Eva Amurri and Lydia Hearst.
Go figure.
The singer split up from his fiancee, model Selita Ebanks, five months after they got engaged.
"Selita and Nick are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends," said Selita's rep.
