Iron ore road train rolls in Mid-West
A 50 tonne crane and a tow truck have removed an iron ore road train from a road near Dongara, about 350 kilometres north of Perth.
The truck rolled on Midlands Road early on Saturday morning after veering onto the gravel verge.
It is believed the vehicle jack-knifed as the driver attempted to gain control, causing the first trailer to roll over.
Iron ore then spilled onto the road, blocking it in both directions.
The driver was taken to the Dongara Medical Centre before being transferred to Geraldton Regional Hospital with minor injuries.
A front end loader from the Mingenew Shire removed the iron ore from the road, which has since been reopened.

Comentários sobre a acomodação
The apartment is in a great location within walking distance of the Acropolis, museums, the Plaka & Gazi districts. The apartment was very clean & well equipped for self catering with a fantastic bakery in the street below. Best of all was the friendly & very helpful host, Kosta, who right from point of booking responded to all our questions & provided detailed information & suggestions, including a great taxi service by Danillo. As the start & end point for our bigger journey through Greece, it really helped make our experience of Greece a very enjoyable one. We highly recommend it.
We visited Athens mid April for a weekend (2 days) – this apartment was a good choice and we would come back anytime. The apartment is in a very good shape, the pictures show a realistic view. It was very clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. The location is good, it is about 15 mins walk to the Acopolis Museum / Metro-Station. We also took the bus several times, takes only 5 mins. There are many shops, restaurants and bars in the area. So indeed perfect for a tourist visit of Athens. Also our host was very friendly, he even offered us a local cell-phone in case of problems. What a service. Thanks for this good experience.
The apartment was spacious and very clean, contained everything we needed for a good stay. Konstantinos is very kind and helpful. Very nice and quite neighbourhood and a perfect bakery shop just across the apartment. You can go anywhere from this place!
We look back to our stay in Athens with great satisfaction. The apartment was perfect with regard to space, location and price. Best of all was the service we received from Danilo. He picked us up at the airport and drove us to the car rental company in Kineta the day after and he was waiting for us when we were going back to Athens 8 days later. Thanks Danilo.
We really enjoyed the stay at the appartement. It is close to all nice places in Athens. (All on walking distance). The appartement was perfect. Very clean, nicely decorated with beautiful paintings, fully equiped with everything you need.
A nice and delicieus greek bakery just accross the appartment for a nice breakfast and cookies. The supermarket is right around the corner.
Konstantinos is very friendly and he even walked with us through the neighbourhood, to show the shops, restaurants and gave us tips.
We really enjoyed the stay and it gaves us a great fealing of Athens.

With the Open Studio Tour behind me, I figured it was time to catch up on some overdue correspondence. So, this past week I played with making blobs into birds, ending up with some colorful, happy envelopes. If you missed the instructions for making birds from blobs, check out my blog post: DIY – From Blobs to Birds.
After making the envelopes, I went to my local Post Office and got their last birds stamps. I hope they get more because I plan on making more of these envelopes.
I love how colorful these envelopes are. I demonstrated how to make these little birds during the Open Studio Tour, and they were instant hits.
I played around with different watercolors, and they all worked fine, even the inexpensive ones. All you need are some watercolor paints and a black marker.
These envelopes are sure to brighten someone's day. Why not try making some of your own?
For those of you who have signed up to receive my blog posts by email, please know that there was some sort of program glitch this past month and many of the blog posts did not get sent. So, you may want to check my blog itself to see what you missed.
Enjoy, Candy

Eastern North Carolina Vinegar-Based Barbecue Sauce
Make in any amount needed
In Pennsylvania, barbecue sauce used for pork has a tomato base, as in the recipe linked below. My first experience with pork barbecue in a restaurant in North Carolina was shocking. I thought that the sauce had turned sour. Then I went to my first pig-picking and discovered the real thing. It is so good. Nothing can compare to the flavor of a tender, juicy piece of pork slow-roasted over wood coals and basted with a vinegar and spice sauce. It is so delicious. However, since pig-pickings are a rare occurrence, I wanted to try to make the sauce myself. After much research, I found a version in a Jeff Smith cookbook upon which this recipe is based. You will note the large amount of sauce the recipe yields. It can be reduced to any amount desired, as in the reduction example provided. However, you can store extra sauce in the refrigerator for weeks or in the freezer for up to one year. Alternately, if you are used to preserving, it can be canned using proper preserving methods. That also makes for nice homemade gifts. If using with pork, the meat can either be prepared in a slow-cooker or, my favorite, slow-roasted in the oven or covered grill, as in the similar and related recipes. This sauce is equally good on chicken.
To make 8 quarts
- 1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1-1/2 cups Worcestershire sauce
- 1-1/2 cups yellow prepared mustard
- 1 quart ketchup
- 1/2 cup freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 3 quarts apple cider vinegar
- 2 quarts water
- 1 quart white wine
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
- 1/2 cup salt (or to taste, see notes)
To make 1-1/3 quarts
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup yellow prepared mustard
- 2/3 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 pint apple cider vinegar
- 1-1/3 cups water
- 2/3 cup white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
- 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste, see notes)
Place all ingredients in a very large stock pot (saucepan for smaller amount) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Cool, then store in refrigerator until use.
Notes: The amount of black and red pepper called for in this recipe results in a fairly spicy-hot sauce. You might want to start with less and add more after tasting. Also, I use much less salt since some of the ingredients are high in sodium and I do not like salty foods. Again, start with less and add more if needed.

John Mitchell has been sidelined for 4-6 weeks after sustaining a knee injury in Sunday's practice. With Mike Brown eyeing a return next week, this likely means an extended stay with the big club for one of Joey Crabb or Darryl Boyce. Crabb has four assists in six appearances with the Leafs and Darryl Boyce has a goal and an assist in three games played; Mitchell has 3 points in 23 games this season.
Speaking of Brown, rumours of a three-year, $2.65 million (875k per) contract extension surfaced this evening courtesy of Andy Strickland. Brian Burke tells Maple Leafs Hot Stove the reports are "untrue,†meaning no deal is done as of now. Brown's quick rise to fan favourite status for his embodiment of truculence and whatever-it-takes-to-win attitude – be it dropping the gloves or blocking consecutive shots until your hand breaks – would suggest an extension is in the plans sooner or later.
Of course, the eyes of the nation are not on the Mitchell injury or possible Mike Brown extension but tonight's gold medal match up between Canada and Russia in Buffalo. This is the seventh time Canada and Russia have met in the gold medal game at the World Juniors, with the two sides splitting the prior six down the middle at three golds apiece. Canada has won the last three gold medal meetings with the Russians and look to gain the all-time tournament edge tonight. Consider this your game thread.

Since becoming a mom, comfort reigns supreme when purchasing undergarments. Don't get me wrong, I still like to look good, but gone are the days of sacrificing fit in the name of fashion.
Lucky for me, I was introduced to Warner's a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Their Cloud 9 collection of wire-free bras and No Pinch. No Problem line underwear are stylish and comfortable. Their garments are made with easy-to-wear fabrics that don't irritate or dig into my skin like some of my other intimate apparel. Who hasn't had the displeasure of an underwire bra pinching into their ribcage? The brand's innovative lift provides superb support without that uncomfortable underwire.
Warner's Bras Cloud 9 ® Underwire Lift Bra available here, $40
Plus, these pieces don't bunch or gather in the wrong places—instead they provide ease and create smooth and sexy silhouettes. As someone who needs a bit of a pick-me-up when it comes to the boob department, their padded bras deliver. Never too bulky or too loose, they hug you in all the right places and accentuate your best assets.
Oh and did I mention that these beauties won't break the bank? From lacy panties to playful boy shorts to pretty (and pain-free) push-ups, compromising comfort for style is never in question with Warner's.
Are you a fan of Warner's? What's your go-to bra and panty brand?

I think my personality comes through as genuine even in my writing. Cool, that's a compliment.

You and Obama think alike.
Actually, sakic is correct.
Willing buyer, willing seller is the only real solution at this point.
Insurance companies are able to be directed to cover anything government directs them to cover - and then let "the rich" pay - that is, anyone who can afford the new cost of their policies.
They are an anachronism and a mere extension of government at this point.
Under the willing buyer/seller scenario you'd be asked "it costs this much, do you want to buy it?"
Under the scenario you mock you'll be told "Wait in line and maybe you'll get it"
Wake up.
People don't even know what insurance is anymore. They think they are buying a maintenance plan where everything little thing is supposed to be payed by somebody else. Somebody else = evil corporations. A large majority of Americans are TV addicted, celebrity worshipping fools and a collapse and Civil War is well deserved.
Obama does not want to get rid of health insurance. He wants a different form of it. Before health insurance our healthcare system was far better.

Translink is to extend its Newtownabbey Town Service bus route to include the Glenvarna estate in Glengormley.
Services are expected to commence in the estate from September this year.
North Belfast DUP MLA Paula Bradley, who has been campaigning for the extension of the bus service in the area, has welcomed the move.
"I am absolutely delighted to have received written confirmation from Translink that the Newtownabbey Town Service 367 will be extended into Glenvarna. This amendment will commence in September 2014 and will operate from the Ballyclare Road, along Glenvarna Drive, and back out onto the Ballyhenry Road," she commented.
"Glenvarna is a settled area with a large elderly population, many of whom rely on public transport. I know that some residents have difficulty in walking to either the Ballyclare Road or Ballyhenry Road, and I have no doubt that this new route, with the bus stopping within the estate, will be of great benefit to them. I hope that it will also increase usage of the Town Service bus."
The decision to extend the bus service has also been welcomed by Glengormley Councillor Phillip Brett.
Ms Bradley thanked Translink for "responding so positively" to the needs of local residents.

Radio 4 boss Mark Damazer is to become the first BBC radio station controller to have his own blog and will make his debut today, Monkey can reveal. No word yet on whether there will be a "green ink" button for the station's famously sensitive listenership to make their comments.
• Spotted: Channel Five's chairman and chief executive, Dawn Airey, walking to work, despite last Tuesday's inclement weather. The journey from Chiswick to central London - 6.5 miles according to Monkey's best estimate - included an sub-zero open-air conference call on Old Compton Street.
• Desperate efforts at the London Evening Standard to chime with the new Russian owners. Its lifestyle section last week included a feature in praise of the "shapka" Russian fur hat. "Not just fashionable but truly ubiquitous ... It is a sign of virility in Russia to expose the ears to the cold." Expect shapkas to become the headwear of choice at Derry Street. Ears out, obviously. And that's not all. Spotted on an Evening Standard expenses claim: Russian phrasebook. Makes sense. And a pistol. A pistol?
• Monkey's quote of the week: "I can waggle my ears. I can do both but I can also do them individually. How about that for pointlessness?" Channel 4 News's chief correspondent, Alex Thomson.
• It probably seemed a good idea when BBC Monitoring, the service that listens to news and information from media around the globe, held an in-house competition to name its new digital production system. But the winning entry, Socrates - an acronym for Specialised, Open source, Collection, Reversioning, Archiving, Tailored, Export, System - provoked derisive responses from some hacks at its Caversham HQ. "You'll recall that Socrates was put to death in 399BC on charges of 'denying the gods recognised by the state and introducing new divinities', and secondly of 'corrupting the young'," wrote one staffer. They should have gone for Reversioning, Open Source, System - or Ross for short.
• The Daily Express was in a lather last week when the Middlesex Crusaders cricket team "scrapped its name after angry complaints from Muslims". The paper reported that the club had received "one or two" complaints that the name was a reference to medieval Christian crusades and "in a move which was last night branded as 'political correctness gone mad', the Middlesex Crusaders will now play one-day cricket matches as The Panthers." It is a cause close to Express owner Richard Desmond's heart, the article omits to point out. The name of Desmond's charity fundraising rock band? The RD Crusaders.
• Still with the Express, it was a momentous day for Peter Hill's paper last Tuesday. After years of bypassing the mainstream news agenda by splashing relentlessly on the weather (in the absence of stories about house prices, asylum seekers, or Princess Diana) suddenly the rest of Fleet Street was doing exactly the same. Latecomers!
• "Telly is boost for the blues," reports the Sun, particularly if you are watching in high definition. "Research reveals bright colours lift your mood and can help you to feel more positive, excited, happy or relaxed," reveals "top psychologist" Donna Dawson. She also happens to work for Sky - 38% owned by the Sun's parent, News International - and has compiled the Sky+ HD Happier Days TV Guide "packed with shows to lift the spirit". In case you missed the subliminal message, the story was accompanied by a giant ad for Sky+ HD. Monkey is feeling better already!

Each year the SANS Institute and the MITRE Corporation team up to survey the year's most dangerous programming errors. This year's list, the 2011 Common Weakness Enumeration, was published at the end of June. This is a great resource and anyone writing software for the Web should read it carefully. The document is a long and thorough analysis of the errors that led to exploits in the last year.
The report begins with some guidance for different types of users—programmers new to security, programmers experienced in security, project managers, testers, customers, and educators—on how to use the list. Next there is a brief listing of the errors sorted in various ways, and finally a detailed explanation and sample code for each type of error. Finally there is a list of "Monster Mitigations" that establish some general principles for writing secure code.
The tops 5 errors were:
- SQL Injection
- OS Command Injection
- Buffer Overflow
- Cross-site Scripting
- Missing Authentication for Critical Function
I find OS Command Injection in second place surprising, but sadly all of the others are as expected. It beggars belief that SQL injection is still such a common exploit today. The same could be said of buffer overflow. Of course, as LulzSec has shown us, there is every reason to expect that SQL injection will be a major attack vector for the foreseeable future.
Again, if you are writing code for the Web, you really need to read and study this report.

I know this one isn't a printable, but I thought it was worth sharing! As some of you may know, I love Pinterest. I often get swept away by all of the beautiful images and yesterday I found myself loving these ceramic gift tags by Molly Hatch for Anthropologie. I also noticed that they aren't available to purchase any more either, so I thought, why not make my own for FREE! They are super easy to make and the best part is, you probably have everything you need to make them at home!
1. First start by following this recipe for the salt dough. I halved the recipe and it made 2 large cookie sheets full.
2. Roll the dough out to about a 1/4″ thick. Cut out small circles, about 1.5 inches. If you don't have a cookie cutter, try a small cup. Then punch out a small hole at the top using a straw.
3. Next, using stamps (if you have some) impress them into the dough. If you don't have stamps, just skip this part.
4. Bake in a 300*F oven for 25 minutes.
5. Let cool for 15 minutes.
6. Using sand paper, sand down the tops of the tags. And wipe off with dry towel.
7. Using a small sharpie marker follow the imprints from the stamps, or just wing it. The rougher looking the better I think.
8. Add twine, tie knot near tag. (I got my twine at Home Depot). Add to any gift to really add some personality!
I'd love to hear if any of you have made these before. Oh, and stay tuned for tomorrow! I'm adding some new printable wrapping paper to my shop (see below) and one of them will be free in tomorrow's download.

David Marshall writes about...
Response Times
Once upon a time (the 2nd of February 2005, to be precise) I posted my first-and-only Fantasy story to Realms of Fantasy magazine. Discovering that they had a slush-tracking website, I watched it to see when my story would be processed (the 28th of March 2005).
And then I waited. And waited. And waited.
By the 16th of August 2005 I decided that I had waited long enough, and I queried the status of the story. This involved emailing two slush readers and the editor.
Why? Because the previous slush reader had resigned, and she was busy getting married. According to the new slush reader, his predecessor had sent out all the rejections on her final batch of slush. If I hadn't received a rejection, then maybe my story had progressed to the next round, and was now with the editor.
Delighted by the possibility that my story was one of 29 survivors out of 306 slush submissions, I emailed the editor. Her reply arrived in 59 minutes, and was "Perhaps it's in this bag of mail that's just arrived."
And so then I waited. And waited. And waited.
By the 15th of November 2005 I felt that the editor had had enough time to read 29 short stories. I again queried the status of the story by email.
I received no reply.
On the 20th of February 2006, I emailed the editor again, this time regretfully withdrawing the story from consideration.
I received no reply.
Now, I suppose it is possible that a Realms of Fantasy rejection for my story is lost in some void somewhere. Slowly dissolving in the belly of some fearsome carnivore that prowls through the alternate realities of snail-mail space, perhaps.
But could such a carnivore evolve to prey on my emails, too?
In any case, the story has now gone off to a new market. It's not an SFWA-level market. But it is a market that doesn't hold your stories in captivity indefinitely. If they haven't found space for your story in their zoo in three months, then they release your story back into the wild. And they keep you informed.
And I have yet to see their editor quoted on a website, moaning about how authors waste the precious time of editors.
Yet Realms of Fantasy is a "professional" magazine, and the other market is not.
Note the lack of replies listed above. There is more than one definition of the word "professional."
David Marshall
P.S. Would you believe that Black Hole lists Realms of Fantasy's worst response time as 721 days? Just under two years!
Copyright © 2006 by David Marshall
Love this tale, David! (I mean, you might as well laugh as cry, at this point. :)
To add to your story: I, too, had a similar experience with Realms of Fantasy. After about a six month wait, I too queried. My story had disappeared. No one knew where it had gone. Repeated follow-ups and months more waiting at last resulted in success... they found my story!
It had languished forgotten for months in the back of the then-editor's trunk. She was, apparently, moving to a new house, and a bag of stories was dumped there, to accumulate mildew and rust...
And then, of course, my story was rejected unread for a formatting violation.
I now know why so many writers are driven to drink, but I have been saved: I cannot afford to be a maudlin sop. Rum is too pricey. However, if anyone knows a good recipe for home-distilled White Lightnin', let me know...

Can't say as I "feel your pain," to borrow a phrase, because I don't send stuff anywhere else. I'm so busy trying to keep Bewildering Stories an exemplary model that I never got around to entering our own time-travel contest. No big: maybe the story will be ready for our Christmas issue. Maybe.
But we're not perfect. Contributors do well to heed our requests for queries after seven days or two weeks. Jerry and I sometimes go into what must be a comedy routine: "Didn't I send you this?" "Do you know what happened to...?" and "Uh-oh. Found this in supposedly empty equipment, as the Postal Service sometimes says."
But we are a darn sight better than another magazine or webzine (I won't tell) where one of our contributors (don't ask) innocently withdrew a submission because we accepted it first. The magawebzine snarked back that the contributor had completely wrecked their elephantine review process and ruined the lives of countless review editors and contributors. Our contributor was henceforth banned from that publication.
I've never gotten over that one. I've heard of rejections, but that beats all. I mean, banned? For something that wasn't even submitted? Like Pete Rose was banned from baseball for betting the farm on his own games? By way of historic irony, that contributor's story has been selected for the First Bewildering Stories Anthology. So there! Take that and up yours, foul magawebzine!

An accused murderer facing the death penalty and a man arrested 27 times since 1996 were among 97 people charged Wednesday with several crimes stemming from investigations by federal and state law enforcement agencies.
The indictments include 55 cases taken by federal prosecutors and 42 taken by Trumbull County prosecutors, of which 23 were unsealed Wednesday. All of the state cases were drug trafficking charges.
Federal prosecutors indicted three drug trafficking organizations and two brothers who sold illegal guns to felons. But their investigations also included several indictments against some accused of acting alone in the drug trade or were felons caught with guns.
"These are people who everybody agrees should not have firearms," said U.S. Northern District Attorney Steven Dettelbach. "They are getting them nevertheless and they're causing significant problems in our community."
One who was charged on Wednesday with being a felon with a gun was David Martin, 28, who could face the death penalty for ordering a woman to tie up a man during a home invasion in September, then fatally shooting Jeremy Cole, 21.
Martin also shot the woman, Melissa Putnam, 29, in the hand. The bullet traveled through her hand and into her neck.
He also faces charges of attempted aggravated robbery, kidnapping, repeat violent offender specifications and receiving stolen property for using a stolen gun in the crime. Martin fled and was eventually arrested weeks later in Tallmadge.
He was previously convicted in Cuyahoga County for robbery and felonious assault.
Derrick McCullough, 32, of Youngstown, was also indicted Wednesday on charges of conspiring to distribute crack cocaine and distributing the drug.
McCullough and his brother, Roy, were previously charged with pushing a 17-year-old girl to the ground and severely beating the girl's father while collecting a $1,200 marijuana debt in 2011.
McCullough, and his brother, Roy, were charged with beating and stabbing Shawn Flowers in June 2011.
Flowers shot Derrick McCullough twice in the leg and his brother several times in the stomach during the fight and was never charged with a crime for the shooting. Flowers, however, was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds, bruises, missing teeth and a split lip that extended to his chin. His right hand and ribs were broken and suffered collapsed lungs.
Another man now facing charges include Goodwin Lofton, 48, of Warren, who has been arrested on 27 cases in Warren, court records show. He is now facing a felon with a gun charge.
He faced a myriad of charges, including drug and theft related charges. Reports also show Goodwin was shot in the hip by three masked men in August 2011.
Dwayne Bruce, 23, is also facing charges of being a felon with a gun. Bruce was sentenced to four years in prison for robbing a 20-year-old man and shooting up his home with Antonio Price, who is facing charges that he shot a bullet at the Powerhouse Bar on Mahoning Avenue that ripped through a nearby home and struck a sleeping woman in the head.
Bruce was expected to cooperate with investigators against Price in that case.

Minter, Printer, and Nuclear Winter
Good news, all the way around. I know, I know... "nuclear winter" doesn't sound like good news, but it is. I'll get to that last.
Minter: I spoke to our manufacturing rep early last week, and the production of Schlock Mercenary challenge coins is on track. They're being struck in brass, electro-plated, enameled, and epoxy-domed as I write this, and all 30,000 coins are due to ship from the factory on May 20th. UPS will, in theory, deliver these to my door on May 22nd, the same day I leave for Phoenix Comic-Con. Will I have samples of all the coins at that event? MAYBE. But when I get back, roughly a ton of carefully-configured brass, enamel, epoxy, and packing materials will be waiting for me to hahaha, no. They won't be waiting for ME to do anything. I shall stand back and let Sandra, her trusted lieutenants, and perhaps a few minions begin the shipping process. My job? Feed the children, make more comics.
Printer: The ninth book in the Schlock Mercenary series, The Body Politic, went off to the printer late last week. Sandra replaced a couple of corrupt files just this morning, and that project is tentatively scheduled to arrive at our door in late July. We'll open pre-orders in late June. This book has lots of bonus material in it, but it does not have a full bonus story like the others. Why not? I shall be frank: the story I was working on turned out to be boring.
So instead of fleshing out the universe with twelve pages of pictures wrapped around a low-stakes, who-cares kind of plot, I fleshed out the universe with a bunch of fresh, hilarious, science-filled footnotes. Do you want to know how Boomex compares to Composition Four? Do you wonder how grey goo and zombie plagues impacted human politics? Are you interested in flying a kite on Mahuitalotu? This is the book for you. There's more, too, but I'll make the full pitch when we open pre-orders.
Nuclear Winter: The doctor called me 30 minutes ago to give me some good news. The clostridium difficile, whose aliases include "c.diff" and "CDI," has been completely cleared from my poor, beleaguered intestinal tract. Right now Whoville (as I lovingly refer to the colonies of biota that live in my gut and help me digest things) is a nuclear wasteland, and I've been throwing back Yakult, Goodbelly, two brands of Kefir, and pretty much anything else I can choke down that says "active cultures" on it. I counted -- there are 28 different strains of lactobacillus, acidophilus, and other tiny yoppers moving back into Whoville, but conditions down there have been pretty hostile until very recently. I'm on the mend, but food doesn't yet work for me the way it used to. Still, every day is better than the last. This week I may have strength enough to make it back to the gym.
Last week, low-blood-sugar notwithstanding, I cranked out two weeks of comics, polished off the last image and text edits for The Body Politic, and did a day and a half of conference attending. So, you know, I can't really be THAT sick. Sure, I go a little light-headed trying to run up a flight of stairs, but sit me down with a stack of scripts, and I can still draw. In fact, sit me down with a stack of scripts and you have to work pretty hard to get me to NOT draw. It's this thing that I would do anyway.

Demographic Shift in New Citizens
Dominicans Account for Growing Percentage of Newly Naturalized U.S. Citizens
A brief naturalization ceremony Tuesday for newly minted U.S. citizens in downtown Manhattan made clear the shifting demographics of those migrating here: Dominicans are leading the pack.
Nationwide, the Dominican Republic and Cuba have experienced the largest percentage growth in U.S. naturalized immigration over the past two years, according to federal statistics. That is partly because of a recession-era decline in immigrants from...

Arboretum Staff Demonstrate Virus Detection Kits at Annual Trade Show
The Arboretums Floral and Nursery Plants Research Unit highlighted and demonstrated easy-to-use virus detection kits at the annual Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS) in the Baltimore Convention Center January 5 7. MANTS is the largest trade show on the East Coast and has over 900 exhibitors from throughout the United States.
The virus detection kits are designed to help growers select virus-free plants for propagation. Virus-free plants are typically more vigorous and of higher quality, benefiting both producers and consumers. The antibodies used in some of these kits were developed in the Unit and licensed for commercialization; these include one patented monoclonal antibody which detects almost all potyviruses, and monoclonal antibodies that detect and differentiate serotypes of cucumber mosaic virus.
Posters (see below) featuring the Arboretums breeding programs were also displayed, including one on current releases. An educational poster on Breeding Challenges discusses scientific breeding, which is more than just crossing plants. It involves the use of genetic principles and a directed strategy to create new gene combinations. The use of genetic technology in scientific breeding allows one to overcome many of the challenges in creating new gene combinations. A few of the challenges include: 1) creating hybrids between widely divergent species, sexually incompatible parents, or parents with different chromosome numbers; 2) obtaining progeny from sterile hybrids, plants with very small flowers, or plants with little pollen; and, 3) identifying genetically different seedlings from morphologically similar parents or with no visible traits like disease tolerance. The poster addresses how the breeders of the Research Unit have overcome some of these challenges to create and select superior plants for release to the industry.

I love hand drawn type, and YouWorkForThem's got a whole collection on sale.
via design work life
One of my Project 25 goals for this year is to do at least one design tutorial each month. I decided to start with an Illustrator tutorial from graphic designer Chris Spooner for creating a doodled business card. This was my first time really using Illustrator, and it took me a bit (read: most of the afternoon) to get somewhat comfortable with the menus. After I finished the tutorial, I decided to create a card that incorporates some editing marks.
This reminded me of a sketch I did several months ago, where I recreated my blog header using editing and punctuation marks. So I played around some more to see how well my pen and paper doodle translated to the screen.
Overall, this tutorial made me realize I don't have the fine motor skills required for detailed work (especially after a bucket of coffee), which makes me appreciate those who use the tool to create art even more. I'm sure I'll do more Illustrator tutorials in the future, but for now I'll stick to the pen tool I know best—the red pen of doom.
Six hours of work condensed into two minutes. Amazing.

I am excited and honored to announce that I have been invited to be a virtual guest speaker for Professor Martine Rife's class at Lansing Community College, Authorship in the Digital Age. I will be talking about international/cross-cultural communication in regards to my experience as a professional writer in Japan, and I would love to share others' thoughts as well.
If you're a professional writer, editor, or designer who works with international/cross-cultural audiences, please take my survey. It will take about 10 minutes, and your comments on cultural differences, copyright and fair use, and authorship will be shared with the class in April. If you have any questions about the survey or additional comments you'd like to share, just let me know. Thanks!

Indian companies eye SME sector
The adoption of cloud computing among small businesses could help Indian IT service providers grow even more.
The adoption of cloud computing among small businesses could help Indian IT service providers grow even more.
The SME sector is often overlooked by big service providers because its fragmentation makes it costly to serve.
"There is huge scope for us in SME market," said Some Mital from body for the Indian software industry Masco.
Tata Consultancy Services is running a trial of an SME service in the cloud in India. If successful this could come to the UK.
European head A S Lakshmi said the problem for suppliers attempting to succeed in the SME sector is the fact that it is fragmented and companies do not all fit into a single mould. "They have the same requirements of large companies but it is difficult because they are very fragmented."
UK IT Priorities 2018 survey results
Download this e-guide to discover the results of our 2018 UK IT Priorities survey, where IT leaders shared with us what they are going to be investing in over the coming 12 months.

But cloud computing will reduce the overheads of serving a fragmented market.
SME could offer the next source of growth for India which dominates BPO outsourcing.
India has a 51% of the total [BPO] global outsourcing market, said Mital. "This is a time where we are looking to IT to help India really transform itself."
Mital acknowledged that the Philippines are becoming a global competitor with India - although its focus remains largely on the US market.
The services sector has fuelled the country's rapid growth over the last 15 years, said Banish Ganguly from commerce organisation the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Whereas countries such as China have enjoyed a booming growth mainly due to a strong manufacturing base, in India the percentage of manufacturing to its GDP has stayed roughly the same over the last 20 years. But the services contribution has grown from 41% to 57% during the same period, she said.
"[Historically] there were too many regulations on the manufacturing sector, which restricted its growth. But in services there were no such restrictions as there are no physical export/imports to measure," she said. The Indian government has also encouraged the growth of its services sector by creating special economic zones which give companies tax concessions, added Ganguly.
According to Ganguly, Europe is currently India's largest trade partner.
But growth in manufacturing could start to outpace that of services. "IT and services are unlikely to grow more than the country's GDP, while manufacturing will grow above GDP," she said. As the market begins to mature in current sectors, this could make prospects in the SME market appear attractive.

My family of 3 and my parents stayed at Perri's apartment and enjoyed the size and location of the property. Not having been to the area before we were thankful to get back to a quieter area away from all the tourists. The location is central to visiting Tulum and Playa Del Carmen as well as any adventure parks. We unfortunately had some rainy days, but the local town had good restaurants to keep us entertained.
The apartment had comfortable beds and lots of living space. We appreciated the games and magazines Perri had in the apartment. The wireless wasn't the best, but we tried not to work much so were fine with what we had. There was a little rust on things, which seemed to be normal based on what we saw in the area, typical of a beach location with the salt air.
Perri and the building manager Oscar were very helpful and very much appreciated. Perri provided us with some great locations to see and dine at and each one of them was spot on.
No real complaints. The owner needs to know that the dishwasher is not functional. Oscar very quick to respond to request. Be nice to have a toaster, but these are not complaints, as they did not affect us in any way.
My family and I stayed at this condo last month and had a great time. The facility was very clean and accessible. The location is quiet and folks in the complex were very friendly. The Puerto Aventuras has a very safe feel to it and you can access the shops and restaurants either by the beach or roads (about a 10 minute leisurely walk). You are steps form the pool and beach. Snorkeling or fly fishing off the beach was pretty good. There is a grocery store about a 5 minute drive away and this area is quite central to a lot of activities in the Quintana Roo area (20 minutes to Playa Del Carmen and 30 minutes to Tulum. The condo itself was very comfortable and plenty of room for 8 people. There is a large balcony that overlooks the pool and you can see the beach. We had a breakdown in the AC and it was fixed the same day, great service by the condo management.
Our family of 5 just returned from a wonderful stay in this very comfortable, spacious, and lovely condo. It was even larger than the pictures show! We like to get up and go, and that's why we chose Puerto Aventuras. It's such an easy trip to Akumal (where you can swim with turtles at the public beach, snorkel at Yal Ku lagoon, and eat a delicious and reasonably priced meal at La Buena Vida Restaurant), Tulum (more great beaches and Zamas restaurant), Playa del Carmen (for shopping and nightlife), and all the eco parks (Xel Ha is good for activities and Xcaret good for butterfly exhibit and the evening show). But even if you just want to hang out and have a truly relaxing vacation, you can't go wrong with this condo. Sitting on the large balcony, sipping mojitos, and looking at the ocean and pool was great. My kids (9-year-old twin boys and an 11-year-old daughter) loved kayaking, playing at the pool and ocean, and even just hanging out in the condo in the evenings, watching movies together.
The owner was very helpful with great directions (we got a rental car) and useful recommendations. So was Oscar, the building manager. The AC wasn't working well in one of the rooms, and the problem was fixed right away. We liked the security of being in a gated community and of being one floor up from ground level.
We got our groceries across the street at the Chedaui, but I must say, it was tough to stay hungry and select food in there with the strong fishy odor. The Mega or WalMart in Playa are easier on us spoiled Americans. We took the advice of other reviewers and ate breakfast at the Omni -- good food. We also ate at Café Ole (I think that was the name). This wasn't our favorite meal -- and they gave a bad exchange rate. It is a good idea to have your own calculator, because if you ask what something costs in dollars, many waiters, gas station attendants, and shop keepers will do the math on a calculator and then tell you a few dollars above that number. Do your own math and hand them the right amount if you don't use pesos.
We would certainly recommend this condo to anyone we know!
What a beautiful home! First class accommodations. Every morning was spent on the patio drinking coffee and watching the waves. Every evening spent walking through the Village and dining in a different café. The beach is beautiful and the water is incredible. most relaxing vacation we can remember.
Beautiful Condo!! We really enjoyed our stay and LOVE Puerto Aventuras!!! Best beaches in the Riviera Maya!!!. Great restaurants, snorkeling, and swimming with the dolphins. Close to Playa Del Carmen (La Parilla Mexican Restaurant), Tulum (Mayan Ruins and Paradise Beach), and Akumal (La Buena Vida Restaurant). Must visit the Garden of Eden Cenote just outside Puerto Aventuras.
On our 20th wedding anniversary we made the trip back to Puerto Aventuras to check the construction of our new condo. Our trip reaffirmed, that we had made the right choice in choosing Puerto Aventuras and Quinta del Sol. We love it here!
Perri purchased this condo in 2006
We chose Puerto Aventuras because it was VERY low key, a great place to get away from the daily stresses of life and business. We felt it was a very safe community and we'd be comfortable giving our teenagers some freedoms that we would have never considered in other locations. The view was amazing, the beach was amazing. All in all it just felt right. We purchased pre-construction, so we were able to make our condo really our own, which was a wonderful option. I'm sure you will enjoy Puerto Aventuras and our condo as much as we do!
Snorkel the coral reef just 100 yards off shore, swim with dolphins, explore Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba, or Chichen Itza. Enjoy the day at XCaret, Xel Ha or Xplor. Treat family to horseback riding, Zipline and ATV tours in jungle setting. Golf pro-shop and tennis courts located in center of town, very easy access. Explore the marina where you can arrange a catamaran excursion or charter a deep sea fishing trip. If fishing isn't your thing, Para-sailing is also available near the marina. Be sure to shop La Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) for Mexican souvenirs and great open-air dining in Playa del Carmen. Enjoy the strolling Mariachis and street performers while having a cold beverage. A very enjoyable way to spend at least one evening during your visit. Margaritas anyone!

| Tiger Priestess chapter 1 . 12/29/2010
I wonder what Sasuke did in his genjutsu that would make Sakura leave him. I have a few thoughts but I'm uncertain.
And Sasuke was hurt when that when she dreams about him she screams.
I would like to see a story like this in Sasuke's POV, if you do that I'd look forward to it.
Great job with the story!
| S-angelwings-S chapter 1 . 12/15/2010
Awesome, just awesome. I loved the caring sasuke that you put in. Great job .
| lily chapter 1 . 12/28/2008
that was awesome
| the blanket chapter 1 . 11/22/2008
Very nicely done. The only nit-pick I really had was the formatting in the beginning, but that's more a personal thing than anything else. I love this bit the best though:
"She says everything and nothing, and talks about everything but what's important, and she feels a bit guilty, because Naruto is nearly hysterical with worry and trying to hide it, Sasuke-kun is glancing over at her in that protective way he does when he thinks she can't make it, and Kakashi-sensei is watching her a lot more often than usual."
Poor Naruto. I do love him and his protectiveness. And Sasuke, who is entirely IC here, is sort of hopeless at the whole romance thing, isn't he? XD
Very nice.
| deity of death1 chapter 1 . 10/15/2008
Wow... Really good.
| melodica chapter 1 . 8/21/2008
That was...just-wow.
If I could fave this a thousand times, I probably would.
This was probably the third time I've read this and I still feel a little something aching in my chest exactly like the first time.
Absolutely fan-freaking-tastic. :D It's one of those things that you want to cry after reading, but it's just heartbreakingly beautiful enough that you don't.
[am I making any sense here? haha]
But yes, bottom line:
It rocks. :)
| ChristinaAngel chapter 1 . 5/10/2008
Wow-a great way of including a protective Sasuke along with a caring Sasuke. This was a really good idea and I loved the ending where Sasuke told Sakura about his genjutsu.
| metaphorically-blue chapter 1 . 4/24/2008
Wow. An explosion of angst. But it was very pretty, well-written, excellent shippy angst, so it wins at life. XD
I really liked the plot, and the length. Twas very lovely. An excellent job.
| Neon Genesis chapter 1 . 4/21/2008
This made me kind of sad, but it was beautiful. Well done.
| qqq102 chapter 1 . 4/20/2008
that was awesome, nice plot. good ending and sasuke didnt seem ooc
| Slacker5001 chapter 1 . 4/20/2008
Really good story. Confusing at first, but in the end it made sense.
Really touching and for some reason it made me a little sad, but it
was still a great story. :)
| anonymousM chapter 1 . 4/20/2008
And I thought Sakura was going insane since that mission. nice ending, though. So no more bad dreams for Sakura?
| LittleMana chapter 1 . 4/20/2008
Whoo hoo! Wonderful. Haunting.
Pardon me, but I haven't been keeping up with Naruto recently. Who were those genjutsu experts you were referring to? Or did you make them up?
| a thousand cranes chapter 1 . 4/20/2008
I love the ending so much. Even though Sasuke subtly admitted his feelings for caring for her and placed some implication that he loved her their relationship is still going to be the same. Sakura understands Sasuke and his personality and their interaction is so perfect.
| 0Chrissie0 chapter 1 . 4/20/2008
Aww! Such a cute story! I really enjoyed it! Well done!

Today was day 1 of my 30 day Primal experiment. I weighed myself this morning and am starting out at 156.4. I will add that I am 5'8", just to give some perspective. It always bothers me when people talk about weight without saying how tall they are. I mean, how else am I supposed to compare myself to them? ;)
This weight is about 6 pounds higher than what I consider to be my "set point." That is the weight my body seems to want to be. I would really like to get below 150, but more importantly I want to get lean.
I won't bore you with the details of what I am eating, but I feel like today was a good start. I will keep you posted throughout the month.

Question by Omar D: Where or how can I get free a Business Mentor?
I am well into my second quarter of of running a small home based business, I feel like i could use some advise from a veteran business person.
its a screen printing business
Best answer:
Answer by Charles
While you might be able to find a busines mentor for free, the reality is that you get what you pay for. If you are clueless, the limited value you might get from a free mentor might be of value. But business consultancy is a large profession. Asking for a real business mentor for free is like asking for free dental or medical services – while you can get them free depending on your situation and where you live, it is unlikely.
All that said, try SCORE. They provide free advise by phone. It's staffed by elderly volunteers. It might be a great place to start for business amateurs. Good luck!

text: Revolutionary is the only word I can think of to describe the Chiappa Rhino. It's the only revolver I've wanted to buy for a long time and I like and own revolvers. The Rhino departs from the traditional revolver in that it shoots from the bottom cylinder instead of the top like we are used to seeing. For as large as it looks, its extremely lightweight and not all that thick. The cylinder is machined flat to keep the gun as narrow as possible. Even the 2″ barreled gun was an absolute pleasure to shoot with full power .357 Magnum loads. The barrel is much lower and so just pushes straight back into your hand. Almost no muzzle flip. The trigger is super for a double action revolver and it still maintains the ability to cock the hammer for an even better trigger pull. I would hate to guess how many pounds the double action trigger was but it felt short and was very smooth. I really hope Chiappa introduces some new calibers like .41 mag or .44 mag.

Todays game is a little different.
Most of us have heard of this guy – Albert Einstein. He's credited with having a pretty big impact on our understanding of our physical world with his theory relativity and the like.
Below is a quote from our friend Albert. I noticed it recently as a post on a friend's post on Facebook. Take a moment to read the words, question their meaning and look to see how they apply in your life. Are you present to the mysterious?"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
Albert Einstein
Are you present to the mysterious?
Appreciate if you'd take a minute and put your thoughts and comments on the blog post of today's game. Whatever you choose to say is fine, consider that it will most likely contribute to another person's experience.
Have an awesome day.

THE real news about Britain's banks is not bonuses or the fact that both RBS and Lloyds made technical losses last year while getting their balance sheets in order.
Rather it is the fact that the domestic banking market is flat because the economy is stagnating. January saw mortgage approvals drop unexpectedly despite the Bank of England throwing cheap money at the high street banks to pass on to customers.
However, you have to read deep into the verbose prose of the Lloyds' annual accounts (much prosier than the "chastened" RBS version) to find out that the bank's retail advances fell by 3 per cent in 2012. The increase in core operating profit is due to cost-cutting. That's fine as it goes, but there is only so much meat you can cut off before you get to the bone.
The same goes for RBS which actually saw a savage 10 per cent drop in retail income with a consequent 6 per cent fall in profits in its core retail division. RBS puts this down to customers lowering discretionary spending, especially on credit cards. Message: in a stagnant economy (and likely to stay so after the Budget on 20 March) there is no room for any retail bank to expand, except at the expense of competitors.
This reality will continue to weigh heavily on bank shares. There are intimations that the UK government may start selling some of its 39 per cent stake in Lloyds if the share price hits 61p – the level at which the Treasury bought in 2008.
But the shares have been wallowing in the low 50s lately and unless the economy shows a rebound in the second half of 2013, I can't see it making the starter's gate.
Bookies proving a good bet in online world
IT'S always interesting to see how the bookies are faring. William Hill, Britain's biggest bookmaker, is raising £375 million in a rights issue (with an attractive 39 per cent premium) to buy full control of its online gaming business from software maker Playtech.
William Hill is familiar through its 2,000-plus betting shops but it has no intention of going the way of HMV and other high street retailers who didn't move fast enough to follow the migration of customers to the internet. Arch rival Ladbrokes has just bought Betdaq, the Irish online betting exchange, for £25m.
William Hill shares have doubled in value in just 12 months. No wonder. Revenues for 2012 are up 10 per cent, operating profit is up 18 per cent, and profit after tax is up 56 per cent.
Revenues from online betting are up 24 per cent and are already half the take from the high street outlets.
Yesterday William Hill was giving odds of 8/1 that Sunshine and Sweetie, the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo, will conceive a baby this year.
It must be spring.

Frequency and Magnitude of Aeolian Processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, AntarcticaEntry ID: NSF_OPP_0636218
Abstract: This research project provides new information to fill in data gaps regarding the magnitude, frequency, and seasonality of aeolian sediment transport events in three of the McMurdo Dry Valleys: the Taylor, the Victoria, and the Wright. The characterization of the aeolian transport system in these valleys is based on two years of continuous ten minute average observations of wind speed and ... direction, temperature and
saltation activity at four locations within these three valleys. In addition to this high-resolution temporal data, for each of the two years of observation, up to two time/event integrated horizontal saltation flux measurements were made with custom-designed traps that remained open for periods of time regulated by the saltation flux at each of the four measurement locations. These trap-derived fluxes combined with the saltation and wind data has allowed for the characterization of time the saltation system was active, the average flux rates per unit of saltation time, as well as an estimation of the total annual horizontal flux based on the record of the total time saltation was observed to be active. The temporal record of saltation activity is also linked to wind direction and temperature providing information on the daily and seasonal patterns of aeolian transport.
Purpose: The acquired data can be used to further probe the characteristics of the aeolian sediment transport system in the McMurdo Dry Valleys.

Quality Overall the recovery for the meteorological, saltation activity data, and sediment collection using the traps was very high with five notable exceptions. In late December 2008 the eastern Victoria Valley site datalogger was submerged under water when the meltwater stream of the Victoria glacier changed its course and flooded the site. The wind speed profile measurements from the first season are ... suspect and were not subsequently used to calculate aerodynamic roughness length and wind shear velocity data. The wind speed and direction measurements at 4.2 m appear to be reasonable. The temperature and saltation activity data also appear to be reasonable and were used in further analysis. The second data recovery problem occurred for wind direction measurements in the Taylor Valley in 2008-2009. At some indeterminate time (or multiple times) the tower rotated due to an anchor line connected to the lowest anemometer boom arm slipping its mooring, thus the wind direction data for that period cannot be used. The third problem was Trap 1 at the Victoria II site fell over at some time and it was not possible to calculate an associated time-integrated horizontal flux. The fourth problem that occurred was that there was very little sediment collected in the trap at the western Victoria Valley site during 2009, although there was ample evidence that transport had occurred. We suspect that it was prevented from rotating for some unknown reason (possibly snow accumulation) for some unknown period of time. The trap was freely moving when we arrived at the site in December 2009, and the saltation activity data indicate activity at levels approaching those observed in the eastern part of the Valley, where large masses of sand were collected. The final problem lies with the Safire saltation sensors for estimating a mass flux of sand. The sensors did register the impacts of saltating grains that provided a means to establish when the saltation system was active. There were also periods when the sensors reached their maximum voltage output in response to the saltation, exceeding their capacity to measure the vigorous saltation that was occurring in response to high wind events. Unfortunately, these data do not allow for the conversion of the mV signal to a flux value using the wind tunnel calibrations with any great confidence.
