We all know what it's like: when you gotta dance, you gotta dance. Even if you're on duty, like 44-year-old Jacqui Prest. The married mum-of-one showed off some impressive jive moves across Portland Street in Manchester city centre, to the delight of the watching crowds.

Jacqui, who has been a police officer for 18 years, and transferred to Greater Manchester from Merseyside eight years ago, spoke to the Manchester Evening News about becoming an Internet sensation.

"The reaction to the video has been amazing, so overwhelming," she said. "I just can't get over it. Just this morning I was on the phone to CBS News in New York, and I also met Leo Sayer while at the BBC — I'm sure I've danced to a few of his songs in the past. Anyone that knows me wasn't surprised by the footage though — I dance all the time, I just love it. I always pull some moves on a night out and even have a dance while doing the housework.
"As a gay woman I am happy to be involved with anything that helps promote the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community," Jacqui continued. "And that also shows that police officers are human beings and part of the community in Manchester."
Regular Manchester Pride goers may recognise Jacqui from previous years — she has taken part in the parade almost every year since moving to Manchester and once donned a panda costume for the occasion. She hopes the "amazing" reaction to the video will help send the LGBT community the message that the police "understand and are there for them."
Jacqui certainly seems to have won the hearts of the people of Manchester, who took to social media to praise her for doing "more for police/public relations in 5 mins than politicians have done in 5 years" (sic) and "showing the friendly human face of the police."

Capclave 2006
by Elspeth Kovar (Chair)
Review by Gayle Surrette
WSFA Con ISBN/ITEM#: CAPCLAVE06
Date: Oct 20-22, 2006 / Show Official Info /
Take a look at our flickr gallery of photos at: Capclave Photos (photographer: Paul Haggerty)
There seemed to be a substantial number of people at Capclave this year. There were people talking in the halls, in the dealers room, while standing to get autographs, while looking at the items in the silent auction, and between panels sessions. In other words, many people got to meet and talk to other fans and professionals throughout the weekend.
The programming, while a bit sparse, was an interesting mix of topics and workshops. There was a writer's workshop, reading workshop (for those doing live readings), and a reviewer's workshop. There were several science panels as well as the literary and fun panels. And of course there were many reading throughout the weekend.
I found the panel on Building a Space Faring Civilization to be challenging, interesting, and very thought provoking. A later panel on LibraryThing.com to be very informative with examples of how the on-line site works and the many possible helpful uses it can be to many of us bookaholics.
Saturday evening ended with a formal receptions co-hosted by the Washington Science Fiction Association/Capclave and SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) which was naturally followed by a number of parties.
A fun time had by all.

Just bought a 1996 silverado. A/C compressor had been replaced with a bypass pulley. I installed a new compressor, evaporator, condensor, orfice, dryer, & high pressure liquid line. Checked fuse in side of dash, and the relay fuse under the hood. Charged with 1 can of 134a and it wouldn't take the 2nd can. Started truck and turned on the A/C by pressing 'A/C' button on control panel. It does not light up and the unit does not start. Bypassed cycling switch and the unit will not cycle the clutch. Wiring harness is plugged in to the front top of the compressor & into the high pressure switch coming out of the 'Suction & return' line block on the back (top) of the compressor. Also pulled the control panel out of the dash to make sure everything was plugged in. Can't find a problem. Any suggestions?
have the same problem?

As part of my effort to improve every part of my life, I have decided to get back in shape. Twelve years ago, I worked in a factory during the day and cooked in a resaurant in the evening. I didn't have a car, so I biked 5 miles in between my jobs. Fast forward 3 kids, a desk job, and 100 pounds later. I don't enjoy getting winded on three flights of stairs and I like running while my daughter rides her bike. I'm going to get back in shape.
As a part of that effort, I recently bought a bike. I thought I was getting it for a steal, until I took it out. The chain kept slipping, the shifters were difficult, and it was too small for my frame. I took it back. A bike that would work well for me would cost $200-300, more than currently fits in my budget. Running is cheap, right? It is, unless I go for the runner-geek purchases. Every hobby and activity can become expensive if you let it. I may invest in some running shoes, but that will be the extent of my runner-geek shopping.
My plan was to run according to this this schedule, running every other day. Run one day, rest the next. The first day in week 3, I got petellofemoral pain, or "runner's knee". I went to the doctor and got x-rayed. There is nothing even hinting at major damage, which has always been a fear of mine, due to my barometer knee pain. The doctor gave me a sheet of stretching and strengthening exercises to do and told me to put running on hold for a bit. I will be doing the exercises every day this week. Next week, I'm starting over with my running schedule. I will be giving my knees an ice massage after each run and doing the exercises on the off days.[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="196" caption=" "] [/caption]
I am writing this in October and have been running for half of September. Hopefully, the city will keep the roads plowed enough that I can run all through the winter. The schedule may slow down a bit, depending on weather, but I'm hopeful. By the time this posts, I will have a lot more information about how well I am doing.
Update: Mid-November. Where did the last month go? It's amazing how fast time slips away if you aren't watching it. My barometer knee pain has been back, and life has been hectic. I need to get his habit going again, before it freezes to much to start.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - The record return of coho and chinook salmon to the Oregon coast has been credited to superb ocean conditions as returning salmon encounter a virtual smorgasbord of herring, anchovies, zooplankton and even sardines, which had virtually disappeared from West Coast waters.
Now an interdisciplinary, inter-agency group of scientists believe they may have an answer for why the ocean conditions are so bountiful. They call it a "climate regime shift."
From 1977 to 1998, the low pressure system that sits off Alaska's Kodiak Island every winter - known as the Aleutian Low - was larger and more intense than it had been since the mid-1940s, according to William T. Peterson, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport.
This 1,000-mile wide low pressure system was characterized by strong, circling winds that pushed nutrient-rich waters north into Alaska and delayed the upwelling off Oregon and Washington which helps feed the nutrient cycle in spring and summer. The effect created good ocean conditions for salmon in Alaskan waters, while less-than-ideal conditions off Oregon and Washington.
The Aleutian Low became even larger and more intense in the fall and winter of 1997-98, during a strong El Nino episode.
Then in the winter of 1999, the pressure system suddenly shifted west to Kamchatka, a Russian peninsula. And the ocean conditions - and biology - changed almost overnight. Different zooplankton appeared off the Pacific Northwest coast, and in much greater numbers, the scientists say.
"During much of this intense Aleutian low period, the waters off the Oregon coast were dominated by 'southern' copepods that are more common off central California," said Peterson, who also is a professor in the OSU College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences. "These species are typical of weak currents, weak upwelling warm water and low productivity. Then, in 1999, bang. Overnight the southern copepods disappeared and were replaced by boreal, or northern copepods.
"The actual biomass of the copepods has doubled in the last couple of years," Peterson added. "And suddenly, the anchovies begin to spawn again, herring are everywhere, and sardines have flourished."
This intersection between ocean conditions and biology is of particular interests to scientists involved with the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics, or GLOBEC program. Funded by the National Science Foundation and NOAA, GLOBEC is a national program that has West Coast components in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
Richard Brodeur, a NOAA fisheries biologist who also has a courtesy faculty appointment at OSU, studies salmon survival and feeding habits in the ocean. During the 1980s and most of the 1990s, the poor ocean conditions led to a low survival rate, he said. During the El Nino year of 1998, things hit rock bottom.
"When we looked inside the stomachs of juvenile salmon that had entered the ocean in 1998, they were pretty empty," Brodeur said. "They had some small prey - a few juvenile rockfish - but mostly small copepods and jellyfish. It wasn't their usual diet."
What salmon usually eat, Brodeur said, are juvenile rockfish, smelt, anchovies, sardines, crab larvae and krill. Starting in 1999, those prey reappeared in the stomachs of fish the scientists examined.
"Having an abundance of baitfish actually does two things," Brodeur said. "They obviously are an important food source for the juvenile salmon. Salmon need to grow fast early on to avoid becoming prey of other fish and birds.
"Baitfish have another useful purpose," Brodeur added. "When they are abundant, they become an alternate prey for birds and groundfish like rockfish and hake that may eat them instead of juvenile salmon."
The biological chain of events boosting salmon runs seems fairly clear. The abundant reappearance of northern copepods off the Northwest coast has led to huge numbers of "baitfish," including herring, anchovies and sardines. The presence of these baitfish appears to significantly boost salmon survival in the ocean.
The climatic and oceanic mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not as clear, the scientists say.
"These 'regime shifts' are part of a cycle, but we don't have enough data to know much about them historically," Peterson said. "We know there were Aleutian low pressure cycles from approximately 1923-47, and from 1977-98, but we don't know their history prior to the 1920s. And we think they typically last about 20 to 25 years, but what triggers these shifts - both in and out of the cycles - is still a mystery."
One way physical oceanographers track changes in the ocean is through an index called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, which monitors several conditions, including sea surface temperatures. From the period of 1977-1998, every year was warmer than normal except one, Peterson pointed out. For the past three years - including 2001 - the waters off Oregon have been colder than normal.
"When things shifted in 1999, the California Current became stronger," Peterson said. "There was more upwelling, more nutrients and greater productivity and - equally important - an infusion of northern copepods from the Gulf of Alaska.
"Not coincidentally, ocean conditions for salmon in Alaska began to decline at the same time."
Ted Strub, a professor of oceanic and atmospheric sciences at OSU, has monitored changes in the Pacific in another way - the height of the ocean - measured by the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter. It is the same satellite that first detected the El Nino signal in the western equatorial Pacific in early 1997.
"There is no question that ocean conditions are different from what they were for most of 1977-98," Strub said. "Our satellite data shows that since 1998, the coastal ocean off the U.S. west coast is a few centimeters lower than it was from 1993-98, the beginning of the TOPEX data. That's because water becomes denser as it gets colder, occupying less space."
Strub says studying ocean conditions is like listening to music. There are different frequencies and layers that - examined separately - don't fully represent the big picture.
"If you look at the climatic effect, for example, you have to look at 20- to 25-year cycles, then overlay the influence of El Nino and La Nina events, which have a three- to seven-year time scale, and then look at seasonal variations, which are enormous," Strub said. "Satellite data only go back 10-20 years, so we're just now beginning to get the baseline data that we need.
"A hundred years from now, we may understand how all this works."

Grilled Marinated Pork Chops
|Course : Grilling
Source: Gourmet August 1992
Serves: 6
Preparation / Directions:
In a bowl combine the apple juice, 1/2 cup of the soy sauce, the honey, the garlic, the gingerroot, the mustard, the Worcestershire sauce, and the rum. In a shallow dish arrange the pork chops in one layer, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, turning them occasionally, overnight. Drain the marinade into a saucepan and add the jelly and the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, boil it until it is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, and stir in the lemon juice and the nutmeg. Grill the pork chops on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them and basting them with the sauce every 5 minutes, for a total 20 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Serve the chops with the sauce.

reading glasses frames to both lenses, and you should see your view through the lenses change from clear to dark or vice versa as each lens polarises the light going through it. Theoretically, each lens should cut out all light going through it except for that in one plane. If both lenses do this, there will be one position where the polarised light getting through the first lens will itslf be prevented from going through the second lens, and the view through t Turkey used kiteboard cheap ralph lauren her large for a Miniature Dachshund a porky one at that. Will keep trying with them and hope she gets used to them as they are really good in keeping the rays of the sun out. I was so pleased with my purchase, we tried them on our pooch & she stood there posing for photoMaldives ray ban luxottica kitesurfing gear online .
y is obviously no where near as good.
I bought the 63 size and it's a little small for my face. Hopefully the 67s will be a much better fit when I exchange it.
Edit: The 67 size definitely fits me much better. Quick exchange. Can't fault them.
I normally treat myself to a pair of new sunglasses each summer. These are great. I've had Ray Bans before, so I knew that I liked the graduated brown lenses.

Whilst no Oakleys or RayBans, they are superbly comfortable, the look good and, most importantly, they have decent tinting.
These are the second pair of these I have bought (the first pair were purchased over 5 years ago) and would heartily recommend them.
I boug oakley flak epair tool =gift by the seller , satisfied with my purchase !
Genuine Product (someone commented these glassed as fake, which is not true). I am happy with my purchase. This Summer will be awesome :D
It is exactly what I expected it to be. I hope that now my sunglasses will last longer than 1 summer

$40bn is wiped off Apple's value as sales of iPhones fall short
EIGHT per cent was wiped off Apple's stock price yesterday as lower-than-expected holiday iPhone sales and a weak revenue forecast by Apple renewed fears about Chinese demand and a tepid global market.
This year was to have been Apple's watershed moment in China, when a long-awaited deal with the nation's largest carrier was to have propelled it back toward the top ranks of its most crucial market, clawing back ground from rival Samsung Electronics.
Instead, the forecast for the March quarter – when Apple is expected to have reaped the fruits of that long-awaited deal – raises questions about whether investors had over-estimated that arrangement, and broader concerns about flagging demand for smartphones and tablets in general.
"There's no doubt that shipments (to China Mobile) are lower than almost anybody expected," said Pacific Crest Securities' Andy Hargreaves. "Globally, the high-end smartphone and tablet markets are saturated, and that's not going to grow," he said.
The world's most valuable technology company sold a record 51 million iPhones in the quarter, but that was still shy of the 55 million or so that analysts had expected.
The company forecast sales of $42bn (€30.7bn) to $44bn this quarter, brisker than usual because of Apple's new deal to sell iPhones through China Mobile, the country's number one carrier. But Wall Street had expected even more – $46bn, on average.
The company on Monday recorded sales of $57.6bn in its December or fiscal first quarter, versus expectations for about $57.5bn.
"After showing modest signs of improvement, we're back to a no-growth outlook," said JMP Securities' Alex Gauna.
Chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer told analysts on a conference call that the March-quarter revenue outlook reflected the effects of a strong US dollar, and more balanced levels of demand and supply for iPhones at the start of 2014 than a year earlier, when demand outstripped available inventory. In the December quarter, Apple recorded gross profit margins of 37.9pc, roughly in line with expectations.
But it was the iPhone sales and revenue outlook shortfall that drew attention.

I last posted back in August. Since then I have got a full-time job, visited Munich's Oktoberfest, attempted a MOOC on historical fiction and passed a Shakespeare exam.
The new year seems a good opportunity to get back on track with blogging. In contrast to the lull in this department, my reading has been ticking along nicely. Recent books include Donna Tartt's new novel The Goldfinch and The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse. Now for something completely different I've chosen Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I've never read any Gaiman before, but I like what he says about writing in particular and life in general, so I'm happy to give him a go. I'm all for trying something new this year and books are no exception.
It feels good to be blogging again. Here's wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!

BANGKOK – Thailand's 27th International Motor Expo 2010, which closed last weekend, takes place against an upbeat backdrop for the domestic automotive industry.

It's a new era for us in our Portland house and time for some updates. We plan to be here for a while and want to enjoy the house as much as possible. But like many houses, there are things here and there that drive us nuts. With a baby on the way, we decided that if we don't make changes now they will never happen. Exhibit A: our bathroom.
The most immediate change we decided to make was to our bathroom, where an over-sized sink was making a small space feel even more claustrophobic. My growing pregnant belly could barely make it in and out of the room. Jay dismantled everything in about an hour and we proceeded to brush our teeth for the next week in the kitchen.
We found a great, super narrow, Euro-feeling sink and cabinet from Ikea that turned out to be a great option for our skinny space. Of course, no project ever seems to go according to plan for us. Adapting a Euro-sink to our old 1927 house required a couple trips to the hardware store for this and that. But the hassle was worth it. For about $200 bucks we have breathing room and a functional sink space.
The next big change to the room was with paint colors. When we moved into our house six years ago, we painted every room a bright, bold color. Maybe it's the recession or maybe it's knowing our life will get more chaotic, but we wanted new colors that were calm and soothing.
Yolo Paint makes a gorgeous line of eco-friendly, non-toxic, no VOC paints. We chose "Nourish .03" for the wall color. Don't you feel relaxed already just reading the name? It looks great on the wall and makes me feel like I'm in a spa.
A couple weeks of work and our bathroom is now a calming space we love with room for my expanding baby belly. One room down – four more to go!

31May2016 Pre-Market Commentary: US Futures Higher, WTI Crude And The US Dollar Volatile Ahead Of Key Economic Reports
Written by Gary
US stock future indexes are fractionally higher (SPY +0.2) as traders are back from the long weekend and into a very busy short week. An economic data deluge ranging from the monthly jobs report to figures on inflation, manufacturing, and the services sector, plus an ECB meeting an OPEC gathering. Markets are expected to open higher.
Iraq will supply 5M barrels of extra crude to its partners in June, according to industry sources, joining other Middle East producers by lifting market share ahead of an OPEC meeting this week.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran and the United Arab Emirates also plan to raise supplies in the third quarter. Despite the news, OPEC will continue to "discuss issues including an output freeze when the group gathers June 2," said Fayyad Al-Nima, Iraq's Deputy Oil Minister.

Wednesday September 9, 2009
Less than five weeks before they take to the stage for their long-anticpated comeback tour, the members of Spandau Ballet are looking fit and ready to roll.
Turning out for Gary Kemp's I Know This Much book launch this week, he and brother Martin were on particularly dapper form.
Former EastEnder Martin has been shaping himself up for the forthcoming gigs, having splashed out £2,000 on a carbon-framed bike which he rides daily at 6am.
"I've become passionate about cycling in a short space of time. I'm so addicted to this now," says the musician, who has lost 14lb.
Bandmate Tony Hadley has also been pulling out all the stops as the concert dates near.
The 49-year-old has been spotted jogging around his north London neighbourhood with wife Alison Evers, and also visits the gym regularly.
Meanwhile, wives of the band members have hired a team of minders to stop their men from partying too hard.
"They're worried that we'll get up to no good. And they have every right to be," songwriter Gary says.
"We've always been a hard-living band."

As the title suggests, this film finds Italian helmer (Volfango de Biasi) giving Shakespeare's classic tragedy +Othello a slightly unique spin, with a heightened emphasis on Iago; it also reverses the roles by turning Othello into the manipulative monster and Iago into the wronged party. The action unfurls in the early 21st century at the University of Venice, where student Iago (Nicolas Vaporidis) has risen above his financially limited origins and shows enormous promise in his chosen field of architecture. Othello (Aurelien Gaya), an aristocratic architect's son, stabs Iago in the back by manipulatively damaging his academic stature and usurping his place as the designer of a project on the Biennale. Othello also steals Iago's love, chancellor's daughter Desdemona (Laura Chiatti), with whom he himself has been smitten for ages. Iago responds by creating a series of elaborate deceptions, designed to pay Othello back for his thoughtless Machiavellian acts.
Add this movie to your queue to receive more information about
Iago and we will let you know when it becomes available.

Even better, adorn it with doodles and give to a friend to wear! What better way to make sure that person who's always late is never late, than with a custom-made watch to remind them of your plans!

I haven't used t as its a present but it feels like paper and the packaging is very good. Nothing wrong really
Loved this watch. Bought one for everyone as stocking fillers - and had a great time with the family styling the watches for each other. Definitely recommend it.
Another present for someone who is difficult to buy for but loves to doodle, so thought this would be a good idea. Product itself seems good but was the packaging was bent a little in delivery, due to the long packet being folded into a smaller box so that was a little disappointing. Hopefully it won't affect the recipient's enjoyment of their gift
Whilst the idea behind the paper watch is a good one I found it didn't last very long. I wore it for about a week before it was too damaged to wear all day. If you are buying this product be aware that it is simply a novelty item and not long wearing at all.
I love being able to stamp my own style on things so when I saw this I knew I had to have it! When it arrived, it looked fairly strong and I trusted the 'tear-resistant' claim. My biggest issue to start with was deciding what to draw on it! I'm a perfectionist so I wanted to make sure I didn't muck it up otherwise I'd be stuck with a rubbish design, but after a week of designing, practicing and redesigning, I finally settled on what I wanted and went for it. So far so good. Then I started wearing it. I was worried about losing it as I don't think the way it does up feels very secure. However, it is indeed tear-resistant but it's not crumple resistant! After just one day of wearing it, the strap was all creased up and it looked awful. It's not a hard-wearing watch at all; I was even being extra careful with it so I didn't rip or tear it! Overall, I would say it's a great novelty item and brilliant to show off your personal style and artistic talent, but if you're planning on wearing it as a regular time-piece then don't bother - get something that's NOT made from paper!
Was this helpful?
The Paper Watch is quite a unique idea!
Bought the Paper Watch as a Christmas present for my nephew. He's learning to tell the time and this is a great way to get him excited and enthusiastic about it. Can't wait to decorate it with him. Fantastic idea for kids.
My dad absolutely loves watches, so when I saw this Paper Watch, I knew it would be a great gift! I was able to draw my own design on it before giving it to him so it made a truly great, personalised present. Definitely one to remember as he can wear it on his wrist everyday! Would definitely recommend to people with an artistic flair or who just want to give a gift with a lot of thought.
Really good my little brother loved it fun to draw your own designs and it looks pretty cool so long as you can doodle well
The Paper Watch is exactly what I expected. I'm thinking of getting some more of them. While kids and creatives will enjoy designing their own, I'm wondering if my parents might appreciate the ones I've done for each of them!
Buying for an 11 year old boy is difficult at the best of times, but this Paper Watch is a great idea. It's quirky and means that it can be tailored exactly to what's currently 'in' at school. A fabulous gift idea!
I bought 3 of these Paper Watches for my brother's children. They all enjoy art so I thought they would be perfect. They all have their own style of design and they are very personal to each child. They had fun designing and colouring their watches and there are no arguments about who owns which watch. It would make a great stocking filler for Christmas.
I thought it might be a little more substantial but My Niece loved it and that was all that was important.
I bought the Paper Watch item as a leaving gift for a workmate. I liked the way it looked though and I'm thinking of ordering one for myself.
Really pleased with the Paper Watch, I bought it as a gift for my other half and he loved it. Great for artistic types.
I bought the Paper Watch for a 10 year old girl, who doesn't like pink girly things. She was over the moon and wanted to start colouring it in the middle of her party! I haven't seen it yet, but her mother says it's lovely, and she has thoroughly enjoyed making it her own. Big hit all round!
Its as described, tear resistent and looks great with a design on it. It was bought for my dad as ive moved 250 miles away and thought it would be a good keepsake. Absolute bargain and great as a lil present.

Instaflex Scam
Insatflex Scam – Beware of Unauthorized Retailers
With any successful product comes the potential threat of competitors and detractors imitating or discrediting your brand.
It's come to my attention that the Instaflex brand, that I've personally used and had great success treating my personal joint issues with, has been coming under attack by its competitors.
As the #1 selling joint health brand now at GNC, Instaflex is starting to see more brands imitate and discredit their success. Some websites unaffiliated with the brand are pulling a bait-and-switch tactic where they pretend to carry the Instaflex brand, but then make the sale on their own brands. Other websites put up scathing critics of Instaflex in the hopes of swaying customers to their own brands.
Buyers beware! If you're looking to purchase Instaflex products online make sure you're buying from an authorized seller. The safest options would be to buy from their website directly at www.instaflex.com or through GNC.com. Instaflex brand can also be found at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com. Outside of these website, I'd be very careful in purchasing Instaflex.

Gardening with Laurie: Start seeds indoors for spring
By Laurie Garretson
Jan. 10, 2013 at midnight
Updated Jan. 9, 2013 at 7:10 p.m.
The new year brings a lot of chores for gardeners.
The cold, damp, cloudy, windy weather during the past several weeks has not been conducive to outdoor activities.
One chore that can be accomplished indoors is starting seeds. It's a bit risky to start your tomato and pepper seeds outdoors at this time, so start them inside.
A west window sill could be a good spot to start the seedlings, or you can start them under grow lights.
Make sure to keep the lights about 2 to 3 inches above the seedlings. Raise the lights as the seedlings grow.
Always remember to rotate indoor-grown seedlings, especially those near a window, to encourage strong, straight stem growth.
Outside, keep all bare soil around trees, ground covers, shrubs, vegetable gardens and flowerbeds well mulched. This will help keep moisture and heat in the soil and help suppress weed growth.
Never pile mulch around the trunk of trees and shrubs. This could eventually lead to diseases and insect problems.
Bring the mulch out away from these plants by a couple of inches.
While your lawn is dormant, you can spray any cool-season weeds with an orange oil-vinegar solution. This solution is not harmful to you or the soil. To make, mix 1 gallon of strong vinegar (20 percent or higher) and add 2 ounces of orange oil. Use this mixture full strength.
For stubborn nut grass problems, mix a solution of 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of liquid molasses in 1 gallon of water and drench the area. One gallon should cover about 100 feet.
Repeat this process every couple of weeks. Be careful not to get this solution on desirable vegetation. With time, the molasses will rot the nuts that sprout these pesky weeds.
This is also the time to treat for scale problems on camellias, hollies, euonymus and any other scale-prone plants. You can use a horticultural oil or mix 2 ounces of orange oil in 1 gallon of water and spray the entire plant until the solution is dripping off the leaves.
For houseplants that have mealy bugs, scale or spider mites, use a mixture of 1 teaspoon of the orange oil to 1 gallon of water. Spray this mixture on the plants every two to three weeks or until the pests are gone. Be sure to feed these plants once a month.
This is the best time of the year to add any new evergreens and deciduous trees to your landscape. For best results, stick with native or drought-tolerant plants.
Planting now, while most plants are dormant or semi-dormant, will allow the plant to start to produce a root system. Starting them now is easier on the plant, and it gives them a head start for spring.
Usually our coldest temperatures are still just ahead for us - not that there's anything usual about the weather. Keep in mind that dry soils can lead to freeze-damaged plants, whereas well-watered plants are better able to handle stressful conditions.
Until next time, let's try to garden with nature, and not against it, and maybe all our weeds will become wildflowers.

It's funny how I've been living on Capitol Hill for over 2 years and the times I visited this market could only be counted on the fingers of one hand. They were either I had to take a bus stop right in front of the market or ran errands and passed by it but I never have an intend to stopped for a look, probably because I was just too lazy :)) . The market is considered to be a culture on Capitol Hill, where I live and people seem enjoying the market a lot. Apparently, my dear neighbor is also a fan of the market, she kept asking if I had time to go with her since she wanted to introduce me how amazing the farmer market was and it would be more fun to have an accompany. She was my dear friend and to be honest, it wouldn't take that much time, plus I hadn't took photos of daily lives and I needed something to put me out of bed or motivate me back into photography... So I guessed they are the reasons why I have these photos below for you Lol
Everybody was so lively. Most vendor owners were pretty nice, some of them didn't really talk that much though, but overall the market experience was amazing. We luckily went on a nice day, which meant there were a bunch of people around the market to taste some good food, grab freshest veggie & fruits, or just walk for a look like me. My neighbor told me a lot of stories about vendor owners and how amazing their products were, some histories and her veggies recipes, which made my experience more interesting than ever. Also, funny how one of my classmates in college worked at the market too. He's been working there for months and I had no idea about it since we talked pretty much to each other in class Lol. We had some small chit chat conversations while my neighbor was trying his vegan soups. I haven't seen any classmates after graduating so seeing him kinda gave me nostalgic feelings of how I miss going to school ( yeah, I like school a lot :)) ). One more funny thing that there was an old lady with a striking chunk of blue hair came up to me, told me that She bumped into me all the times on Capitol Hill and I myself didn't even knew who she was nor paid attention to her when I walked. It made me realize after has been living here for so long ( yes, it's long to me), Capitol Hill still gives me surprises everyday!
|This is my neighbor's favorite first stop, she loves flowers so much so that she literally spent half of our times at these vendors.
|My dear neighbor
|To me, this cauliflower looked super weird, which is contrast to its taste as my neighbor described as : " delicious to heaven"
|Veggies from the brothers, who have some small boxes of miniature fruits like watermelon ( I didn't take photos though)
|I love dogs
|In Viet Nam, we only have pumpkin and that's all. But here, you have a huge family of pumkin for ex: different kinds of squashes ( gourd family according to wiki) as you can see in photos.
|these jams tasted super yummy and yes, I tried all samples, which were around 10!? :)))))
|and the owner was pretty nice to explain how he made these jams and his American kimchi.
|My dear neighbor
|I can't believe how amazing and photogenic the veggies and fruits looks, I wish I could be like them you know. Just laying around and still beautiful and photogenic :)))))

Should You Go on That Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip? Or, uh, Experience Infertility?
Discovery magazine peed in my Cheerios with their article about how having an extraordinary experience can ultimately bring you down. Apparently we don't really savour the memories after a big trip like we would an expensive piece of chocolate. We more gag and choke on the memories once the experience is over.
The reason given: "A new study finds that's not always so: extraordinary experiences can actually generate unhappy feelings as well, because others in your ordinary social group are unable to relate to your stories."
So you go through a life-changing experience and come back a different person, but now you're out of sync with everyone around you, like Alice returning from Wonderland. How could she explain the White Rabbit and the Red Queen and what it's like to grow bigger and smaller to anyone who wasn't there?
The article states:
Social pleasures, however, stem from other things we crave like acceptance, belonging and camaraderie. Therefore, an exciting trip to Bali may come at a social cost when standing around the coffee machine on Monday morning.
This is, as the article points out, remedied by taking people with you that you can discuss the trip (or substitute in any unusual experience) with afterward. Though that doesn't really solve the fact that you will still be standing around the coffee machine Monday morning with people who didn't go with you.
All of that said, I was thinking about infertility as an unusual experience and how it does isolate you, even after it's "over" in the sense that you are parenting or living child-free (in other words, not actively building your family). The experience changes you and causes a social rift, even after it's over. Maybe moreso after it's over. Hence why it is important to have people to discuss it with.
Just a small thought I'm tossing around this weekend after reading the article.
And hey, tiny thought, I could have made it as a #MicroblogMonday post for tomorrow. Except that this post runs a little on the long side for a micro post.

Many years ago when I was muddling through my early-twent-something, post-college discovery, a friend was saying how hard it was to relate to people who didn't go away to school. Not that college is extraordinary, but it is perspective-altering, and I had to agree with her that there was a disconnect in coming home to people who had not shared that experience. I wonder how that will all translate to parenting after IVF at Mommy and Me or the PTA.
- 2 Northern Star { 01.18.15 at 9:25 am }
So true. Infertility is the most isolating experience I've dealt with… And you're right, it hasn't gone away even though I'm parenting. In many ways parenting has exacerbated the isolation, as people now assume that I came to be a mom just like 90% of other moms. Hard to find a balance of feeling included, sharing only parts of the story and being considered ok with isolation. My favourite mom friend is another adoptive mom who went through 20 years of infertility before deciding to parent and is waiting for baby 2… Exact same situation as me. Birds of a feather right?

10 years not 20!

I haven't found it to be much of an issue parenting. Yes, my parent/child group was mostly younger moms who had a baby easily. But there was also another IVF mom and even one who used a GC. Plus at that point I was over how my kid got there–my concerns wee more like will this child ever sleep, etc. now that I'm past the baby stage the difference is mostly just that I'm older (yeah I'm older because 6 yrs of IF but still). I'm fortunate in that after years of no hope we ended up with the number of kids we wanted. So it's easier for us not to dwell, especially when there's so much else to dwell on–daycare preschool sibling fights play dates etc.

All my friends children are all around the age of 12. When it comes to my one year old I feel out of the loop and alone. I am lucky that I have made new friends with children the same age as my daughter but it isn't the same as friends you have had for 20-30 years.
- 6 noemi { 01.18.15 at 1:47 pm }
This is really interesting, and I can imagine it's true. Right now a big group of women from my work are in Vegas having a fabulous time and posting a ton of photos to FB. Ever year I can't afford to go and every year I find the week leading up to the trip and the week after kind of excruciating, because everyone is talking about it and I'm not going. It's a lot like waiting in the wings while we were trying and everyone else was getting pregnant and having babies. I hate feeling left out, not a part of the group, different in some way, but it seems I always will. I'm getting better at it.
This year the photos are barely phasing me, probably because my new friend at work isn't there either, and I actually have my own shit to do. I guess that was the same with infertily too, once I met others (via my blog) who understood, it was easier to stand around the water cooler and hear the stories of those who didn't, who were leaving us behind. Oh, and this year I leave work at lunch, so I'm not really at the "water cooler," which helps immensely as well. 😉

I can totally see how this could be the case. I'd just never thought of it that way. Lately, I've found that I'm surprised how many disconnects I have from other women that haven't gone through infertility. It's so many seemingly small things but that together add up to a really different sort of reality.

Having lived overseas I can completely relate to this. When we would first come home and want to talk all about our experiences, no one cared. I remember one time talking about a beautiful castle in Germany and the person I was talking to changed the subject to talk about some big sale at Macy's.
My solution was to find more people like me, who were expats, who I could share my stories with. I suppose I've done the same thing with infertility and loss as well.
It's good to find "your people" once in a while.

Hmm. I guess I have issues with the premise of the article. The only downside of an extraordinary experience is having to end it, and get home and back to work and cleaning and cooking. I savour memories of my travels, my "trips of a lifetime" regularly – they pop up to brighten my day when I least expect it. In an instant I can be in Cappadoccia, or on safari (my happy place), or lying on a tropical beach, or in an art museum in Madrid reliving the joy of those experiences. These are very different to the idea of watching a different movie from others, and not being able to discuss it with them.
Infertility, on the other hand, does change you and can isolate you. When I come home from a trip, my life here is the same. Whether friends travel or not doesn't make me feel left out – perhaps because it's not a negative experience. Yet infertility can make us feel left out, so finding people to share the experience with is invaluable, and talking about it.
Still, I would love to be able to share my experiences with others. Which is why I've promised my friends and family that I'll take them on safari if I win the lottery.
- 10 Lori Lavender Luz { 01.18.15 at 8:23 pm }
On the other hand, with infertility I met a new circle of friends that got my experiences and the emotions surrounding them. What was, at one time, isolating, later became enriching.
- 11 Valery Valentina { 01.19.15 at 6:31 am }
mhmm, from a very young age I was always the odd one out. I don't fit in social groups easily, it is always a balancing act. So even if and when I do fit in, it doesn't feel all that safe or comfortable. The people who are my safety net are special and love travel.
Even my mom-friend is a 47 y o DE mom. SO um, like Mali, I did go on some life time trips (after IVF failed) or work abroad.
I have this private memory of standing on a Thai beach, my toes in the clear warm water and soft white sand, contemplating to NOT fly back to a dark and rainy country the next day. A clear moment of choice. You never know who you meet around the water cooler, and what their moment(s) of choice or truth are.
But hey, maybe the articles 'gag and choking' is my social suffocating of conforming to the average…
- 12 loribeth { 01.19.15 at 9:40 pm }
I actually saw this article awhile back, but I never thought to relate it to the infertility experience — although I can certainly see it now that you mention it. 🙂 I can relate… there were lots of times that I'd come back from a fabulous, earth-shattering vacation or experience, just dying to share with someone — and nobody would ask me how my vacation was… or they'd ask the perfunctory question & before I could elaborate too much, it would be on to the next work project. Very deflating.

Council delays Maple sidewalk
Rick DeClue
· News · June 28, 2013
After a sidewalk grant was recently denied, the single West Branch sidewalk project planning to go forward was pushed back at least two weeks at Mondays city council meeting.
Council Member Jim Oaks began a series of questions by asking what the North Maple Street project would cost. By the end of the discussion, the question had not been fully answered.
Costs for the project, which installs a five-foot wide sidewalk from Orange Street south to West Branch Middle School, would fit within the $47,611 budget available, City Administrator Matt Muckler said.
A portion of that project, however, will be paid by West Branch Community School District.
Muckler said that final costs and a final determination of the share of costs paid by the city and the school district depended on whether a potential 64-foot stretch of sidewalk connecting North Maple Street with an existing playground is constructed.
The decision on this issue is in the hands of the school district.
Oaks then asked about access to the water plant building located on the east side of Orange Street. In particular, he questioned how trucks make chemical deliveries to the plant since the city made a portion of Maple Street one way to better accommodate school buses.
City Public Works Director Matt Goodale said that deliveries are made using hose connections, with the trucks using Maple and Orange Street for access.
Given the 20-foot width of Maple Street next to the facility, Oaks asked whether the deliveries interfered with school traffic. He also asked whether changes were needed for turnarounds and grades sufficient for the truck traffic.
This project could cost another $25,000, said Oaks.
Goodale then said that deliveries could be restricted to Orange Street because it would just mean additional hose. He also mentioned that they could make some unspecified plumbing changes.
Oaks asked about an existing protective barrier on the south side of North Maple Street as it approaches the middle school. With the proposed sidewalk located so close to the street, Oaks asked how the barriers would be impacted. He also questioned where snow removal crews would put snow.
Mayor Todd Worrell said that the barriers were in bad shape and that a portion of them had been removed.
City Engineer Dave Schechinger said the change to one-way traffic on Maple Street meant that traffic would only be approaching the curve on a level surface across the north edge of the middle school building rather than down the hill on North Maple Street.
Worrell said the barriers are not very affective at this point. He also noted that they are on the schools property, so any decision regarding them would have to be agreed upon with the School district.
Worrell acknowledged that the sidewalk project had been put on the back burner during the Safe Routes To School grant application process.
He then brought the discussion to a close by saying that it sounded like there needed to be another meeting with school officials and time to address other concerns. He proposed bringing the project back to the July 8 meeting for council to review.

World News Bulletin: Saudi Arabia Agrees to Pump More Oil
SAUDI Arabia is willing to produce more oil if customers need it, the kingdom's oil minister said yesterday.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, has been under intense pressure from the US and other oil consumers to increase its crude output to help slow the soaring price of oil.British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for future commitments from producers for increased oil and gas supply but urged all countries should improve energy efficiency and develop alternative sources of energy, including nuclear power.
Saudi Arabia has already announced modest increases and said it would pump 9.7m barrelsaday beginning in July. But this has not stemmed the skyrocketing price of oil.

Since moving from San Francisco down the Peninsula few years ago, I have made it my mission to ferret out the tastiest, choicest victuals within a reasonable distance of my mouth. In the past, I've brought you my salivations on Howie's Artisan Pizza, Evvia Estiatorio, Tootsie's, and Shokolaat (since closed), but today we take a walk on the sweeter side.
This list was not undertaken lightly, and you can rest assured that during the course of research, a lot of thought and consideration went into my belly.
Top Five Desserts in Palo Alto/Menlo Park
1. Triple Coconut Cream Cake from Palo Alto Creamery: This coconut cake — doled out in mammoth pieces that look like plated glaciers — has been directly responsible for getting me through one-and-a-half pregnancies, and I am still not tired of it. The coconut buttercream frosting is completely snowed-over with drifts of shredded coconut, and between the sections of moist, sugar syrup-soaked white cake, you'll unearth yellow strata of firm coconut custard. It's a piece of cake a coconut fiend would dearly love to rub all over their body.
2. Calafia Cake from Calafia Cafe: Made to look like a Hostess cupcake with white "laces" drizzled in frosting across the top, Calafia's single-serving cake has layers of moist chocolate cake encased in a pliable chocolate shell with a thick strip of cream running through the middle. It's excellent way to console oneself in the wake of the Hostess bankruptcy.
3. Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart from Mayfield Bakery: This mini tart has liquid salted caramel pooling over a layer of firm chocolate, and the crust is a buttery, flakey wonder that fulfills the pastry chef requirement of being cuttable with the side of the fork. It generally serves one (unless you happen to be the generous sort with your mate/partner/kid/friend), and it's an item I hope Mayfield keeps in their glass case for a long time to come.
4. The Occasional Macaron Shop Macarons from Tootsie's: The easiest thing about these macarons is eating them. The most difficult thing about these macarons is trying to comprehend why their creator — a mysterious entity known only as the Occasional Macaron Shop on facebook — doesn't open her own actual macaron shop to sell her delicate wares more widely. As it is, you can avail yourself of her lemon, pistachio, burnt caramel, and white chocolate-coconut macarons by visiting Tootsie's at the Stanford Barn. (Through Tootsie's, my husband has also placed special orders for the Occasional Macaron Shop's amazing financiers for my last three birthdays and they are worth the year-long wait.)
5. Susie's Nutty Cookie from Susie Cakes: In this final top dessert entrant, two meltingly tender peanut butter cookies are stuck together by a rich smear of peanut butter buttercream in the most colossal, delicious rendition of a homemade Nutter Butter you'll ever set lips, teeth, and tongue on. This is a cookie to make even lactose-intolerant crave a tall, frosty glass of milk for a perfect pairing.

Hey guys, I need a quick favor...do any of you (*cough* PizDoff *cough*) happen to have the John Polakowski v. Olaf Alfonso fight, the 1st one. I found a Yousendit.com link on the site form like 2006, but, obviously, it was dead.

People tell you lots of things about studying abroad. They tell you about the amazing people you'll meet, the delicious food, the monuments, the ease of travel between European countries, and the life-changing experiences you'll surely have. Some even mention the difficult parts: the initial jet lag, the foreign language, the exchange rate, the cultural differences. What few divulge is the experience of coming home.
During your last few days, you walk around your city with different eyes. These aren't the eyes with which you first looked in awe at the countless little cafes, ancient buildings, and fountains. They aren't even the eyes that came just a bit later when the initial amazement wore off, nor are they the eyes that began to see landmarks and recognize local friends. These are the "last time" eyes, the ones that see everything tinted with a wise sadness.
This is the last time you'll have a latté from the barista that plays indie music and gives you a bright smile every morning. This is the last time you'll have "Pasta Monday" with friends at the little pasta shop down the street just before your French film class. This is the last time your professor will make you take turns reading lines from a play by Victor Hugo. This is the last time you'll sip wine outside the cathedral with classmates, the last "mardi party." This is the last time you'll chat after dinner with your host family.
Of course, you'll be excited to go home. Four months without the comforts of your usual home and without your friends and family are challenging to say the least. You'll be excited to enter Dunkin Donuts and eat a real bagel for the first time in months. You'll be slightly relieved to be speaking English again. You'll be able to use a normal, 21st century cell phone. You'll be comforted by stepping foot in your hometown and seeing your childhood friends. After all, nothing back home has truly changed.
But you've changed. You've experienced an indescribable loneliness upon arrival and you've gone through the process of making new friends once again. You've gotten lost walking home in the pouring rain, wishing your iPhone worked in this country. You've traveled on buses, subways, trains, and planes between various cities and countries. You've been forced to be entirely independent for the first time in your life. Through all of your best and worst moments, as clichéd as it sounds, you've actually begun to find your place in the world.
So what happens when you're back at home? Can you simply go back to your usual college routine and busy lifestyle? Or can you hold on to who you've become? I don't think anything can be just as it was when you go back, frankly; studying abroad is life-changing after all. Maybe we just need to find some middle ground between two countries, two lives. I think it'll take some time – for me, at least – but it's a comfort to know that a second home, no matter how far away, will always be there.

A POLITICAL deal which means Scottish fishermen will not have to throw tonnes of caught fish back into the sea has been hailed a success.
Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead praised the successful negotiations between the EU and Norway, which averted a "nonsensical and deeply flawed" situation which would have left "a trail of discards across the North Sea".
The deal struck at 6am means the cod quota for fishermen will remain unchanged this year.
This EU-Norway agreement has implications for the fishing industry in Scotland, both at sea and onshore, including 2013 quota decisions on North Sea cod, haddock, whiting and herring, as well as the setting of a catch limit for mackerel in the absence of agreement with Iceland and Faroes.
The talks this week, which involved senior Scottish representation, resumed after the second round ended in December without agreement.
Mr Lochhead said: "This deal is good news for Scotland's fishermen and builds on the successful outcome of December's fish talks in Brussels, showing significant increases across a range of key stocks that are reaping the benefit of sensible management measures.
"Importantly, we have now set mackerel limits that follow the scientific recommendations but do not in any way seek to reward the unacceptable actions of Faroe and Iceland to the detriment of the Scottish fishing industry.
"The deeply flawed cod plan proposed a further cut in quota when the stock is actually recovering. The only result would have been a trail of discards across the North Sea. This outcome will help prevent that nonsensical situation arising.
"The industry has much to look forward to in 2013 and while there will no doubt still be challenges ahead, for now at least they are able to plan ahead and be confident the future is looking brighter for them than it has for a long time."
Bertie Armstrong, chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation, said: "This is a good outcome based on the science, which reflects the status of our recovering stocks in the North Sea.
"The rollover of the cod quota will help bring some stability to fishermen. This stock is recovering well and a cut in quota would only have led to unavoidable discarding.
"Our fishermen have been at the forefront of spearheading a range of innovative conservation measures including technical alterations to trawls to dramatically reduce discards and adhering to real-time area closures to protect spawning and juvenile fish.
"The decision to set our overall share of the mackerel at the traditional level was also a sensible move, as it was important that nothing was done to reward the irresponsible over-fishing of the stock by Iceland and the Faroes."

the eigenvalues are
, i need help finding the eigenvectors
Anyway, you do so in the same way you always find the eigenvectors. Nothing changes. First, find the eigenvalues as you've done. Choose one of the eigenvalues, say, , and subtract it from the diagonal entries:
Solving for in will give us the eigenvectors just like it does when we have real eigenvalues. [Added: This is from the equation , which can be rewritten as ].
We know that this matrix is singular because we made it singular. We did that by subtracting just the right eigenvalues that would make the determinant zero! So Just set and solve for . In other words, we want to make sure this is true:
Super. That means we just need to solve for in
It turns out that so we can write and know it's true. Do the matrix multiplication to convince yourself.
So you've found one basis eigenvector, which is . There's one more basis for the other eigenvalue, but I think you can work that out yourself now :)
I prefer a more basic method. The definition of "eigenvalue" is that " is an eigenvalue of matrix A if and only if there exist a non-zero vector v, an eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue , such that ."
Since is an eigenvalue, for any eigenvector we must have
That gives us two equations, and . The first equation is the same as . The second equation is the same as . Dividing both sides by (which is the same as multiplying by , we get exactly the same as the first equation!
That had to happen. There exist an infinite number of eigenvectors corresponding to a given eigenvalue. The problem must reduce to one equation in one unknown. Take x to be anything you like and solve for y. If we take x= 6 to get rid of the fraction, so an eigevector corresponding to eigenvalue is
and any eigevector corresponding to that eigenvalue is of the form
for some number, x.
Do the same thing to find an eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue .

ARMANI, GUCCI and BURBERRY to open in New Delhi at OBEROI Gurgaon
Giorgio Armani, Gucci and Burberry are among the international luxury brands to open, each, second stores, in the Indian capital of New Delhi, in the nearby city of Gurgaon, at the newly opened OBEROI Gurgaon Hotel. The Oberoi Gurgaon is the latest luxury hotel opening by the Indian hotel operator in India and is situated within 15 minutes from Indira Ghandi, New Delhi's International Airport and less than approximately 45 minutes from the city centre.
The new spectacular architectural development of the OBEROI Gurgaon, includes a stand alone glass and steel building which will house on one side Gucci and on the other side Giorgio Armani. For both brands, this would be the second store in New Delhi, after their first stores opened four years ago at the Emporio Mall.
Brands such as Burberry, Paul & Shark and Ermenegildo Zegna will open smaller locations, on a specially designated luxury retail wing within the hotel, with large windows overlooking the manmade lake, in the courtyard of the hotel. The new luxury shopping units are to be opened by the beginning of September.
Gucci, Armani, Burberry are brands which are operated directly, through a local subsidiary (joint venture with a local entity), while Zegna, Paul & Shark are operated in franchising by a local retail partner.

Just when we were indulging in some serious farmers market love, along comes the latest New Yorker to remind us that the local-equals-better equation isn't always so simple when it comes to carbon emissions. It's a fine and nuanced read.
As one expert says in the story,
"You can feel very good about the organic potatoes you buy from a farm near your home, but half the emissions — and half the footprint — from those potatoes could come from the energy you use to cook them. If you leave the lid off, boil them at a high heat, and then mash your potatoes, from a carbon standpoint you might as well drive to McDonald's and spend your money buying an order of French fries."
Luckily, even with the shades of gray, there's plenty to recommend the local route. Even if you do boil those potatoes, you still have the benefit of finding a supplier you can trust, getting seasonal produce, saving farmland and local jobs, buying varieties of fruits and vegetables that don't have mass appeal but that still might appeal to you, finding fruits and vegetables fragile or juicy enough that they don't do well being packed and shipped thousands of miles, but can handle the journey from farm to market table.
For a provocative discussion arguing against the local-equals-better route, though, check out this debate.
