Pine Cabin Rental Photos and Description
Cabin, 4 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 10)
This is the ideal family vacation home -- and we have now listed it for sale for $184,000. It's the perfect place to beat the summer heat and get away to the tall pines in the Rim Country of Arizona -- at your very own Pine vacation home!
Depending on your timing, you can enjoy a cool summer breeze, the change of seasons, the snow on the pines or the bloom of spring as you hike, mountain bike or quad through the forest. Or just embrace the peace and quiet and the beauty of the surrounding mountains as you relax on the front porch or the 2nd story balcony.
The temp is perfect during the day and brisk enough in the evening to snuggle by the fireplace or gather around a campfire and roast marshmallows. Go horseback riding, golfing, fishing or swimming in the creeks/rivers during the day. And all year-round you can enjoy all that Pine has to offer in their quaint antique shops, restaurants, specialty stores and summer arts and craft festivals and special events.
Located at an elevation of 5,500 feet, you and your family can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and relax in this spacious 4-bedroom retreat in Pine, AZ (North of Payson). This home has gorgeous views from the wrap-around deck and 2nd story balcony. You will love the large yard that features a regulation-size volleyball court for some friendly competition (when not covered with snow). There's plenty of room for other yard games as well. In the evenings, deer and elk are frequently spotted in the yard.
Perfect for large family gatherings, girls weekends or romantic getaways, this 2,000+ sq ft home comfortably accommodates 10 people.
We have two outdoor gas BBQ Grills and a wrap-around porch and second story balcony to relax on after a long day of hiking, mountain biking, off roading--whatever your fun preference is! We have outdoor patio furniture on both sides of the deck and the balcony, so your group can spread out and enjoy themselves with games, a good book or sunbathing!
Inside you will find wood floors downstairs and a large stone fireplace to warm up on chilly nights. We have a large, fully-equipped kitchen (plus the 2 gas grills) and dining areas both inside and outside. 3 of the 4 bedrooms feature queen beds. The 4th bedroom is designed as a "kid's bedroom" that sleeps 4 complete with TV and DVD player, twin bunk bed with 3rd trundle bed and a futon that pulls out to a single bed.
We are walking distance to antique shops, the Pine Deli, restaurants, bars, library, community center and playground. Pine, Strawberry and Payson host several seasonal arts and crafts festivals, rodeos and special events. Hiking, mountain biking and riding trails abound. If properly licensed, you can take your ATV out right from the front yard!
The climate in Pine during the summer is perfect, ranging from 80-90 during the hottest part of the day to 60's in the evenings. In the winter months, while sunny and pleasant during the day, at night temps drop below freezing, so we usually have a white Christmas with snow through February.
We provide free WIRELESS INTERNET, tons of games and movies for hours of family entertainment. BBQ on the deck for family dinner then converge around the comfy sectional sofa in the evenings. Huge open front yard gives the kids plenty of space to play during the day, then roast marshmallows over a campfire at night. In the winter you can build a snowman, a snow fort or have that snowball fight you've been hoping for :)
Check out Christopher Creek, Fossil Creek, East Verde River, Dragon Rock, Tonto Natural Bridge and numerous trailheads within minutes. 15 minute drive South to Payson for fun, shopping, Mazatzal Casino, more restaurants. And 20 minute drive north to the snow play area, fishing and the Mogollon Rim with lakes and many more trails and amenities.

Why The Owner chose Pine
Living in Arizona, we wanted a family retreat in the cool pines. We're outdoorsy folks, and love the Rim, Fossil Creek, Natural Bridge, quading, hiking, mountain biking geocaching, visiting the shops and restaurants and the small-town charm of Pine.
What makes this cabin unique
We have mastered the art of 'porch-sitting' while sipping a hot cup of coffee in a brisk fall morning, or a cold beer on a summer evening. You can get lost in admiring the mountain views and watching storms blow in. In the evenings, its nice to get the family together to play games in the family room or just snuggle up with a good book or movie in front of the fireplace. It's perfect for multiple family/couple get-away weekends, with 4 bedrooms and plenty of space, room to cook and eat together and plenty of parking! There is an abundance of creeks, rivers, hiking/mtn bike trails and 20 minutes from the rim for fishing in the lakes and more hiking.

The Jaws legend is currently enjoying a vacation with pals, including his goddaughter Gwyneth Paltrow, on his luxurious super-yacht, Seven Seas, off the coast of the idyllic Italian island.
But after his crew used a speedboat to drop Spielberg and his entourage off at the beach near Porto Liscia, he ran into trouble with the local law, which forbid boats with engines from coming too close to the shore over fears for swimmers' safety.
According to Britain's Daily Telegraph, he was fined $241 (£151) by the coastguard, who had been alerted by angry beach-goers.
Coast guard Commander Vincenzo Petrella says, ""For using his engine within 300 metres of the coast, instead of rowing in, Spielberg received a 172 fine. But he clearly didn't know he had broken the rules and was a real gentleman about it. The fine was paid promptly the following morning.""

Erythroplasia of Queyrat
Erythroplasia of Queyrat is an early form of skin cancer found on the penis. The cancer is called squamous cell carcinoma in situ.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The condition is typically found in men who have not had the foreskin of the penis surgically removed (circumcision).
The main symptoms are a red rash and irritation on the tip of the penis.
Erythroplasia of Queyrat is usually treated with creams such as imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil, which are used for several weeks to months. It does not respond to anti-inflammatory creams, such as topical steroids.
This condition is sometimes treated with medicines taken by mouth, including chemotherapy drugs and medicines that change the body's immune response.
More aggressive forms of the disease may require surgery, usually microscopic shaving (Mohs surgery).

The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
"It's ridiculous. I hate to sound like I'm attacking the WWE or (I) devalue what they did because Vince McMahon, say whatever you want -- and he's always smashing us and talking s—t about us, but I will tell you this, I was watching WWE I was a little kid and Vince was the commentator in WWE -- this guy has been kicking ass, breaking rules and doing things that people said he couldn't do over and over and over again. Now I'm older I don't get the whole thing, it doesn't work for me, but what he's able to do, the ratings he's able to pull and the things he's done ... And when I look at his model and he's basically taking everything in and devalued it. Saying everything we do is worth $10. That doesn't make sense to me," White said during a media luncheon on Monday. If he pulls in 2 million subscribers, he's crushing it. So it's a risky move, it's a crazy move, but Vince has been doing risky, crazy s—t since the beginning of time. If anybody can do it, maybe Vince can do it."
- UFC president Dana White on Vince McMahon and WWE Network
It was revealed earlier in the week that TNA had signed Alpha Female, a wrestler who is known in Europe. Management has decided to pair her up with Chris Sabin, who recently broke up with Velvet Sky on screen. The relationship is designed to be a focal story line point for the Knockouts division.
TNA taped the hall of fame induction ceremony for Kurt Angle at Impact Wrestling today. After delivering an emotional speech, Ethan Carter interrupted the segment, which led to a match between the two at TNA Lockdown being announced.
While there are some fans who are under the impression that he has really left the compny, Jeff Hardy will be returning to the company in March. He has already been announced for TNA Lockdown 2014, where is scheduled to be a part of the Lethal Lockdown match.
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
After weeks of teasing the move, the James Storm heel turn has finally happened. Impact Wrestling is being taped right now, and the long time TNA star turned on Gunner as he was challenging Brutus Magnus for the world heavyweight championship.
Many are wondering who will be the first opponent for MVP in TNA will be, and it looks like Rockstar Spud has been given that honor. Earlier today, the two of them filmed a match for the episode of Impact Wrestling set to air on February 13.
While he denied the rumors all week long, it has now been confirmed that MVP is indeed the new story line investor for TNA. He is making an appearance on Impact Wrestling tonight, where he was accompanied by Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. All three were wearing suits.
Since the start, Bray Wyatt has done all of the talking to the Wyatt Family. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan generally just stand to the side and in the background during the interview segments. On Smackdown this week, though, Harper actually says a few words.
A shocking heel turn took place in WWE at the Smackdown taping tonight. Titus ONeil turned on his Prime Time Player teammate Darren Young during a match against Curtis Axel and Ryback. ONeil turned heel and vicious assaulted Young after proclaiming that he was tired of losing all the time.
In a rather pleasantly surprising move, Antonio Cesaro has earned himself a main event spot at Elimination Chamber 2014. Despite being stuck in a mid card tag team with Jack Swagger, he defeated Dolph Ziggler in a qualifying match on Smackdown this week.
Not only does Christian make his return to WWE on Smackdown this week, but the former world heavyweight champion is actually going to be receiving a nice push right off the bat. By defeating Jack Swagger, Christian earns himself a spot at Elimination Chamber 2014.

I know; we get the same story that we will save that back in the long run in decreased operational costs. That story really gives me pause to wonder just how stupid the power companies and manufacturers really thing the average consumer is. Yes; in theory less power consumption will lead to lower energy costs but in practice it doesn't work that way.
Think of it like this. Your power company needs x dollars of revenue to operate. Now we put in energy saving bulbs. What happens to their revenue? Obviously it drops and if it drops below the buying cialis required revenue levels then the only way they can get back to the level they need is to increase the cost per unit to www.peseta.org the consumer.

What is Inclusive Child Care?
Why is it important?
Where can I get technical assistance and advice?
How many children in America have disabilities?
How does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) relate to inclusive child care?
Why has the federal government strongly endorsed inclusive child care and related educational support?
How do we implement Inclusive Child Care?
What are "Natural Environments"?
What is "Universal Design" and where can I get more information?
What is "Assistive Technology" and where can I get more information?
What is Inclusive Child Care?
Inclusive child care can be defined as child care that allows all children to learn together in an educational atmosphere that supports and nurtures the individual strengths of each child, and where each child participates in the daily routines and activities of the class, regardless of cognitive or physical impairments. Top of page
Why is it important?
Every child deserves the opportunity to interact with other people regardless of their (dis)ability. Children learn many of their skills from other children, from social behaviors to physical and cognitive actions. By including children with disabilities in typical classrooms, active engagement between students is encouraged, allowing optimal opportunities for children to form their own relationships and accept one another's differences at an early age.
In many cases, separate, segregated education reduces the conditions for positive learning experiences. With inclusion, all children learn to adapt early to children with disabilities, and all are more readily able to attain a realistic view about persons living with disabilities.
For more information on children's social and cognitive development, go to: Support Agencies
Top of page
Where can I get technical assistance and advice?
Please see Support Agencies

How many children in America have disabilities?
According to the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), there were over 619,000 children with disabilities between the ages of three and five served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the 2001-2002 school year, the last year with information available. The amount of children between the ages of 3 and 21 under the same criteria totaled just under 6.5 million or roughly 8 percent of all children in the United States in that age range. Top of page
How does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) relate to inclusive child care?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is federal legislation that extends civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities, prohibiting discrimination by child care and after-school care providers against children with special needs. Both privately owned and publicly operated child care programs are affected by the public accommodations sections as well as the employment provisions. For more information, call the ADA Information Line at 800/514-0301 (voice); 800/514-0383 (TDD) or go to www.ada.gov

Why has the federal government strongly endorsed inclusive child care and related educational support?
In a 2001 interview with NEA Today magazine, Senator Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., a Connecticut Republican and the original sponsor of ADA, said "I want my children educated in a diverse setting. That's the world. What's the purpose of education? It isn't just to go through a series of tests. It's to prepare people for the world." Top of page
How do we implement Inclusive Child Care?
Professional educators are able to implement inclusive child care by ensuring that activities and materials used in the classroom are adaptable to their students with disabilities. In this case, adaptation can be defined as assisting children in overcoming their individual intellectual, physical, or behavioral challenges. By using the skills that each individual child possesses to incorporate new skills, each child is able to become actively involved in the educational experience. However, it is important to remember that the circumstances and extent of each child's disability are unique, and adaptations to lessons should be under constant review.
Some ideas on how to adapt lesson plans include:
What are "Natural Environments"?
Natural environments, also referred to as natural settings, are areas such as child care programs and community settings where a child with disabilities can learn. It is important to distinguish that a "natural environment" is an area where the child would "naturally" be, as opposed to a segregated environment. Top of page
What is "Universal Design" and where can I get more information?
According to Ron Mace of The Center for Universal Design at North Carolina State University, universal design is the design of functional products and environments for all people, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.
Examples of universal design include widening doorways, lowering or raising countertops, placing large, easy to use handles on items, and creating a home ramp.
For more information, visit The Center for Universal Design www.design.ncsu.edu/cud
Top of page
What is "Assistive Technology" and where can I get more information?
Assistive technology can be defined as the application of technology to assist people with disabilities in their mobility, communication, athletics and recreation, and daily life routines. Assistive technology helps people with physical, mental, or age-related disabilities.
For more information, visit Adaptive Technology Resource Center, University of Toronto www.utoronto.ca/atrc/ and AssistiveTech.net www.assistivetech.net
Top of page
What is "Full Inclusion"?
Full inclusion is defined as when all students with disabilities, regardless of the nature or severity of the disabling condition, are included in the general education classroom full time. All services are delivered to the child within that setting. Top of page
How important is parental involvement?
Parental involvement is key to every child's education, but especially so with children who are working within an IEP. Parents are instrumental in helping to identify strengths and setting goals for their children's education, as well as reinforcing the lessons learned within the classroom. Top of page
What is an IEP?
An Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, is a written plan of educational goals and objectives for a student. This plan is reviewed and rewritten each year with input from the student, the student's teachers, aides, and family. For more information, visit http://mycitymyplace.com/earlyintervention.htm
Top of page
What is an IFSP?
An Individual Family Service Plan, or IFSP, is a written plan of special support goals and services to be provided to infants and toddlers under the age of three for their families. This plan is written each year through dialogue with the student's families, aides, and teachers. Top of page
What language should I use to describe a student with a disability?
The language that you use when describing a child with a disability can send a strong message. The important thing to remember is to identify the child first, not the disability.
Top of page
How do you instruct other students to interact with students with disabilities?
Positive peer interaction is important for creating a successful inclusive child care program. All students need to have some idea of a child's disability, so that they can recognize what behaviors are acceptable. Participation of all students in class activities will help to familiarize students with one another's abilities and personalities, creating a supportive learning environment. Top of page
Where can I get information about particular disabilities?
The following links feature information on specific disabilities as well as resources for additional information. Helpful Links

(LOUISVILLE, Ky.)--A Louisville man was arrested on Sunday after reportedly running over a police officer's foot.
According to a police report, John Hay, 26, was arrested at 7:15 p.m. and charged with Reckless Driving and 1st degree wanton endangerment of a police officer after the subject was observed driving his 1998 Toyota Rav4 on the sidewalk near the intersection of West Brandeis Ave. and Fourth Street. Witnesses said Hay nearly struck pedestrians walking on the sidewalk before he sped into a police barricade, according to the report.
After an officer stopped Hay, the subject stated the police were ignoring him at the intersection, which caused him to become angry and drive onto the sidewalk, according to the report. While the officer was questioning Hay, according to the report, he drove off and struck the officer's foot, causing injury to the arresting officer's foot, knee and leg.
The officer was able to subdue Hay and place in custody, according to the report, he was lodged in the Jefferson County jail.

North Dakota State junior Bill Carlson fired a final-round 69 to win the first collegiate tournament of his career on Tuesday, taking the individual title at the Erv Kaiser Invitational contested at Oxbow Country Club. For the tournament, Carlson shot 74-71-69--214 to finish two-under-par.
Carlson's 69 was the top score posted in Tuesday's windy conditions, and it was enough to erase the four-stroke deficit he faced entering the day. The University of Manitoba's Josh Wytinck took second place with an even-par score of 69-74-73--216.
Manitoba held off a final-day charge from NDSU to win the team title by a six-stroke margin, 894-900. NDSU posted the best team score of the final round at 291.
Sophomore Connor Holland was the No. 2 finisher for the Bison and 11th overall after a final-round 71 to finish at 227 for the event. Junior Trent Olson shot a final-round 73 to tie for 15th overall, and Ursinio Puga posted a 78 to tie for 18th.
Freshman Jacob Herdine led NDSU's second team of five golfers and finished tied for 18th overall with a 54-hole score of 232.
NDSU is scheduled to compete next at the Jackrabbit Invitational in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Sept. 23-24.

05+ Tacoma Tail gate reinforcement group buy
Update 3/5/13:
A new GB sign up has started! If interested, add yourself to the sign up list. All info in this post as far as pricing is still the same in the new GB, the end dates etc listed are not accurate any more.
Hey guys, if you're looking to beef up your weak factory tailgate now is your chance!
Here's how the GB will work. Automatic 10% off to anyone who signs up. If we get past 10 orders, then ever person past will equal another percent off (up to a maximum 30% discount).
Example: 18 people order = 18% discount. 37 people order = 30% discount
The regular list price for the reinforcement is $169, so it can be had for as low as $118.30+ shipping in the GB with 30+ sign ups
PLEASE- only sign up if you fully intend on ordering. If you decide you want to back out after signing up, please say so and I'll edit the sign up list accordingly. Thanks
And now a bonus for you all-
if we get over 40 orders, then one order will be randomly selected to get theirs for free(less shipping costs)!
GB sign up starts now!
I'll release the GB discount promo code with appropriate discount level applied based on the sign up list total on the 1st of January 2013. At that time, the coupon code will automatically expire 7 days later and orders later than that will no longer be eligible for the GB price.
Orders will be filled in the order that we receive them once the discount code is released and ordering begins.
Please allow approximately 2-3 weeks for fabrication + the shipping time, so you should get your reinforcements between mid-late January.
During the GB, material choice on the covers will be 14ga steel, or .100" aluminum (not aluminum diamond plate, just plain aluminum). All covers will ship bare metal. Aluminum can be left bare and will oxidize lightly(depends on how harsh the environment is where you live), but steel will need to be coated with your choice of product to prevent rust. Aerosol can bed liner is affordable and decently durable so for most people that is what I would recommend coating with, but any coating that sticks to metal can be used. Powdercoat, line-x, auto paint, spray paint, etc
Installation is simple:
After coating your cover with your choice of coating, simply lower your tailgate and remove the torx head screws holding the plastic covers on. The top edge piece unclips off the edge of the tailgate, and the larger cover then simply lifts off.
Next, slip the Relentless tailgate reinforcement on the tailgate(mind the formed lip on the cover so as to not scratch the outside of the tailgate. Foam 'camper tape' can be applied to the inside of the protector lip to help protect the paint if desired). Once the mounting holes are lined up, start all the screws, then tighten down each one while working from the center to the sides. Do not over-tighten, they secure into plastic inserts that can be stripped if too much torque is applied. Finally, enjoy some peace of mind that your tailgate is now much stronger(not invincible though ;))!
Here is the link to the product page on my website for information on the product. http://www.relentlessfabrication.us/...87&id=14437186
Photos from member 'swordknives'. Factory plastic cover can now be placed over the reinforcement if desired:
You can Count me in For one in steel! Thanks for the quick pm reply as well.
lol should have done this after christmas
reminds me of the 80's styling. If it would go inside, i'd be intrested.
The large plastic cover will fit over, the one on the top edge of the tailgate will not fit over the reinforcement plate.
Com on peeps there have to be more people that want one.
Xmas eve bump
How much for shipping to Texas?
so when are you going to end this. bummed im the only one.
Really thought there would be more intrest in these, but oh well. :rolleyes:
And my diamond plate is probably 5x thicker than the cheap accessories you'll find in truck accessory catalogs. :cool:
Wow.. I am baffled these didn't sell better.. I would have been on this if shipping to Canada wouldn't be cost prohibitive..
Keep up the good work!!
Damn just saw this. Do you have a pick of the steel flat plate? Is that the 14G option on your website? Thanks.

There are no 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan reviews. However, the following might be helpful:
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Caravan - Still the best mini-van! by AA from Hawaii on 03/26/2010. Trim: 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SE, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Stow-N-Go is the best feature I have ever seen and should be standard on all types of mini-vans, as the purpose of a mini-van is to maximize carrying capacity. Chrysler invented the mini-van as a vehicle in between the size of a station wagon and a van, which could still fit in a garage. It has the flexibility to carry building materials, landscaping trees and supplies, furnature, families, and groceries. The electronics are fantastic, the outside shape and design are the best, and it is the perfect size to drive and feel comfortable in. It is solidly built and safe. It is functional and stylish, a great combination.
Cons: Sunburst Orange as an awesome color, but only a small limited number were made, and I have one of them! The unique color bring stares and many compliments. Why did this color get replaced with Peacock Green?
Overall review: The Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country, 99% identical, are by far the best mini-vans on the market, and the only mini-vans made by a U.S. company. The overall cost of ownership is the lowest of all mini-vans, based on price, insurance costs, maintenance costs, and the best gas mileage. If you want a reliable and sytlist mini-van, there is no need to shop anywhere else. Dodge/Chrysler has been the number one company for sale of mini-van for 25 years. Every car expert should rate these mini-vans are the best, as the competitons has never even been a close second. Soccer moms love this mini-van, it is the favorite for tourists and small businesses, and feels like a luxary car.

[[Jimi Hendrix]] All Along The Watchtower ((Live)) At The Isle Of Wight ||HD|| (by JimiHendrixTrix)
Things are Queer (1973) by Duane Michals
This piece by Duane Michals comprises nine photographs, each one a detail of the one that follows. The first shot shows a bog-standard bathroom. Then the camera pulls back to reveal what is either an oversized man, or an undersized bathroom: the man's foot is the size of the lavatory-bowl. During the ensuing sequence, it emerges that the photograph of the man in the tiny bathroom is itself a picture in a book being read by another man in an alley. Then it turns out that the man reading the book in the alley is also a picture of a picture in a frame which is hanging on a wall. The final twist in this circuitous tale is the revelation that this picture of the man reading the book in the alley is itself a picture hanging on the original bathroom wall. Things are Queer neatly challenges the viewer's assumptions about the photographic version of reality. The sequence taken as a whole has a cheeky intrigue - at no point can we actually identify the perspective of the camera, the reality of each shot is superseded by the next.
The enemy, in the final analysis, is our own deeply-ingrained habit of Supremacist thinking, or, as I wrote not long ago in another comment, our Old Testament notion of God-given Dominion, over all the creatures of the Earth and over others who are different from ourselves. Ultimately, hatred turns itself inward and outward, against ourselves and against God himself.
When House Republicans called a hearing in the middle of their long recess, you knew it would be something big, and indeed it was: They accidentally blew the CIA's cover…
Through their outbursts, cryptic language and boneheaded questioning of State Department officials, the committee members left little doubt that one of the two compounds at which the Americans were killed, described by the administration as a "consulate" and a nearby "annex," was a CIA base. [The Republicans] did this, helpfully, in a televised public hearing…
In their questioning and in the public testimony they invited, the lawmakers managed to disclose, without ever mentioning Langley directly, that there was a seven-member "rapid response force" in the… [annex]…
The Republican lawmakers, in their outbursts, alternated between scolding the State Department officials for hiding behind classified material and blaming them for disclosing information that should have been classified. But the lawmakers created the situation by ordering a public hearing on a matter that belonged behind closed doors.
Republicans were aiming to embarrass the Obama administration over State Department security lapses. But they inadvertently caused a different picture to emerge than the one that has been publicly known: that the victims may have been let down not by the State Department but by the CIA. If the CIA was playing such a major role in these events, which was the unmistakable impression left by Wednesday's hearing, having a televised probe of the matter was absurd.

Lettuce Bot would eliminate jobs, lower chemical pesticide use, and increase production.
Agricultural Robots Can Tell The Difference Between Plants and Weeds, Can Thin Crops
Lettuce Bot uses a camera to image the plants beneath it. Machine learning algorithms then identify which ones are desirable and which are weeds. It can work with iceberg and romaine lettuces.
Once a plant is identified as a weed, a target spray, which is mounted behind the camera, will then shoot a targeted spray of an organic compound, such as hot steam or hot organic oil, at the plant and the plant will quickly die," the company told Startup Lab.
The plant-classification algorithm is 98 to 99 percent accurate, and the kill mechanism is accurate to a quarter of an inch when the prototype is moving a 1 mph. The firm wants it to move at 3 mph while keeping it on target. Blue River says its machines will be more efficient than other means of weed-killing, and will work well in organic fields or those that have chemical-resistant weeds.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Love has always been able to pile up the points and the rebounds at a rate that few in the NBA can match.
Now that he's hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league.
Love had 32 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Timberwolves to a 116-108 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
Six of Love's assists came in a sensational first quarter, and he connected with Corey Brewer on three length-of-the-court outlets to get the Timberwolves' offence rolling.
"The guy can throw a chest pass 100 yards," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "He should be an NFL quarterback and he can throw chest passes to the receivers."
Kevin Martin added 32 points and five rebounds and Corey Brewer scored 17 points to help the Timberwolves snap a two-game skid.
"Eight assists, I think, was great," Love said. "Guys were just cutting and I was leading them, whether it was in the half court or hitting them on the fast break."
Jose Calderon made 6 of 8 3-pointers and scored 21 points for the Mavericks. Monta Ellis scored 23 points and Dirk Nowitzki added 14 for Dallas. The Mavericks played without trusted reserve Vince Carter, who was suspended for the game for elbowing Oklahoma City's Steven Adams on Wednesday.
The Wolves led by 11 in the third and eight with less than 4:30 to play, and had to hold their breath down the stretch. Calderon hit his sixth 3 of the night and Ellis scored on a drive to the bucket to make it 105-102 Minnesota with 2:24 to go.
Love, who just missed his first triple-double of his career, hit a 3 on the other end, Ricky Rubio foiled Ellis's drive to the basket and Love sealed it with a 17-foot Nowitzki-style fade-away on the baseline with 1:13 to play.
"That's why he gets paid the big bucks," coach Rick Adelman said.
Nikola Pekovic had 15 points and six rebounds for Minnesota.
Jae Crowder had 10 points and six rebounds for Dallas.
The new-look Mavericks have been one of the best offensive teams in the league, with Ellis and Calderon making a seamless transition and flourishing as role players surrounding Nowitzki. Ellis has been remarkably efficient in comparison to his volume shooting ways with the Warriors and Bucks, entering the game shooting 55 per cent on 2-pointers.
That efficiency wasn't there on Friday night as Ellis needed 24 shots to score 23 points.
"We couldn't get a stop," Calderon said. "But it wasn't just the last three or four minutes, it was kind of the full fourth quarter we were just trading baskets with them. We couldn't get two in a row or three in a row."
The Wolves appeared to be taking control midway through the third quarter with a 16-4 surge that put them in front by 11. But the Mavericks came right back, getting two 3s from Calderon and another from Ellis during a 13-3 run that cut the deficit to one point.
For much of the game, Love was the Timberwolves' best passer, even with Rubio on the floor. He hit Brewer for several home run passes and racked up six assists in an outstanding first quarter. He also had nine points and six rebounds in the period.
Rubio had six points on 2-for-8 shooting and four assists and he was bottled up for most of the night by Spanish countrymen Calderon, who didn't fall for the sleight of hand that Rubio uses to keep defenders off balance.
Calderon also had seven assists and four rebounds.
"Things didn't go our way tonight," Crowder said. "I don't think it was too much what they were doing. We knew exactly what they were going to do. Of course their offence was rolling tonight, and we didn't get stops when we need to."
NOTES: Carter said at shootaround that he wished he could take the elbow to Adams back, but couldn't and felt bad for putting his team in the position of not having him available for the game. ... Timberwolves F Derrick Williams did not play because of back spasms. ... Robbie Hummel made his NBA debut for the Timberwolves, scoring two points in 11 minutes.

Dr. Dwight Lundell: The Heart Beat of Asantae
During his recent visit to Kona for the Triathlon, the Dragonfly Ranch was blessed to have Dr. Dwight Lundell deliver a power point speech on Oct. 8. The 30+ people in attendance were spellbound by important facts Dr. Lundell (who has performed over 5000 open-heart surgeries), presented eloquently, with charts to help make the flood of information understandable.
One friend who previously asked me to not bother giving him any more information about diet and nutrition, after the lecture said "WOW!" He suddenly "got it" that he needs to pay attention to taking care of his health. Everyone was appreciative of the fast track information presented so clearly. "Impressive" was the word my 83 year old Hawaiian neighbor (who shares with me his free-range eggs) used to describe the evening.
On the day of his departure from Kona on Oct. 11, Dr. Lundell, (who suggested I call him Dwight) gave an informal talk in Kailua town. This time, he spoke without his power point presentation.
In a very down-home way, Dwight shared his truth from his heart. He explained that he knows that most people don't want to take pills and certainly not a number of times a day.
But because he knows that certain things are needed by the body to function in the optimal fashion in our stressful times, he formulated a package with 14 important ingredients that can be mixed with water or juice, is palatable, and is taken just one time during the day. Preventing heart problems with anti-inflammatories and antioxidants was his goal. Knowing that the majority of people just want to have something that is simple and effective was what motivated him to create Heart Shot, making it tasty and easy to consume.
Next, he thought about how to get people to know about this product.
Dwight said he realized that no one wants to hear about another new product to take. And certainly, it could be on the shelf at Costco or Longs where many people would see it and not know what it was. Why would they buy it?
BUT…he knows that 3/4 of Americans drink coffee—and love doing it. Finding out about a coffee that is 6 times higher in antioxidants than any other coffee is something most people want to know about. The fact that it is delicious and affordable is makes it even more desirable.
That is when he decided to buy the triple patented proprietary rights to Asantae coffee and wed it to his new product, Heart Shot, and two other fine products, Colorad for weight loss, and Agrisept (made from grapefruit seed extract and a blend of 3 other citrus fruits).
By having the Asantae coffee catch peoples attention, Dwight figured then they might be open to understanding that Heart Shot could very well be a superior product that could improve their health. Those of us who learn about the coffee, in the process become educated about the importance of Heart Shot, Agrisept and Colarad.
After trying them, we soon discover the tremendous results of these products. We then become Dwight's "assistants" in providing life-saving information to many people who need this information and might otherwise never hear about these products.
People trust their friends to tell the truth. And the truth is, this is good coffee and these are good products. AND the prices are reasonable. AND there is a business opportunity for those of us who like to inform people about how to improve their health. (AND no one needs to do the business if that is not what they want to do.)
Why did Dwight decide to NOT put the product in the big stores but instead go with Multi Level Marketing? It is because he wants us to educate more people and in so doing, spread the word and be rewarded financially. Dwight seriously likes the idea of affiliates being paid for helping people get healthy.
He believes that with the Healthy Roast Coffee being the "hook" that catches people's attention, we can inspire trust in the other three Asantae products. It is a brilliant plan and it seems to be working. He has certainly convinced me!
I used to tell people to NOT drink that evil "drug" called coffee! I couldn't drink even organic coffee myself because of how damaging it was to my bladder. I discovered while giving out free samples at the Mango Festival, that I drank numerous cups of it myself and never once needed to use the bathroom. I found that Asantae coffee not only didn't cause my bladder any problems, it seemed to heal the problem with its powerful antioxidant properties!
Now when I share the Healthy Roast coffee with my guests at the Dragonfly Ranch, people who previously got acid reflux or the "jitters" when they drank other coffee, do not have that reaction with Asantae. Everyone loves the "smooth" taste and especially loves the delicate aftertaste.
I found that for the first time in my life, I like drinking my coffee black. I look forward to my coffee in the morning because it makes me happy—and healthy! I actually drink it throughout the day. Instead of telling people who love to drink coffee that they shouldn't do it, I now love sharing this "health find" with others.
It also makes me happy to know that Dr. Dwight Lundell is a sincerely genuine, caring person. He said, "After a long career of being an open heart surgeon, I could retire like my buddies, playing a lot of golf and drinking a lot of alcohol." That isn't what this well-intended doctor wanted for his years as an active senior who participated in the 2009 Triathlon–winning the 10th spot in his age bracket.
Instead, Dwight decided to expose the medical community for continuing to distribute damaging medication for lowering high cholesterol when 75 percent of all heart attacks victims have normal cholesterol! The truth is, those doctors and pharmaceutical companies are making money on a falsehood!
A very sharp German elder who is well versed on supplements as well as being psychic, told me she circulated Dr. Lundell's open letter of apology for the medical community regarding the use of unnecessary medication to lower cholesterol. This friend told me that she believes the quality the product he formulated is pure on an energetic level. (Over the years, I have valued her opinion highly.)
Instead of being a part of that medical lie that other doctors continue, Dwight decided to create a company that helps introduce to as many people as possible the product he carefully designed to prevent heart disease.
In his understated, humble way, Dwight said, "MLMs are like marriages. They can be very bad or very good. The way they can be very good is if there is a lot of love. I decided I wanted this company to be based on love and caring from the top down." In my opinion, that is what makes the Asantae MLM work.
In particular, Dr. Lundell proved to me that he fits the description a "consistent contributor" by Risk Management Professor J. Keith Murnighan:
"The consistent contributor looks for the collective good first and personal good second." He says that the consistent contributor can drive the actions of others, acting as a catalyst for cooperation, initiating cooperation, leading the way for others to follow suit. Murnighan points out that in a larger group, "if someone consistently acts as a friend, it's easier for others to act as friends and everyone benefits" in the spirit of trust.
In his very down home, friendly way, Dwight said to those of us attending the small meeting in Kailua, "Like a good marriage, I wanted this company to have a solid foundation of love and caring."
My experience of having two evenings with Dr. Dwight Lundell proved to me that he is sincere in his altruistic intention to use his expertise to formulate a product that will prevent heart disease. He is wise to have chosen this MLM method of distribution. He is also sincere about wanting to help those who assist him in his mission to save lives.
Stressing the importance of not "selling" people but rather simply introducing them to good-for-you coffee, the new Asantae website will allow for people who simply want to drink good tasting coffee, giving the option of purchasing coffee as a "preferred buyer"—while giving the person who told them about the coffee a commission.
(When the "top" of an MLM company is greedy, the price of the product becomes expensive. Because the Asantae people are wanting these products to get out there internationally, they have kept the prices as low as they can while still allowing affiliates to make a reasonable profit.)
In addition to being convinced of Dwight's sincerity, I was impressed with his open-minded receptivity to learning and growing. When we ate dinner before his talk at the Dragonfly, I showed him how Redmond Real Salt is better than regular table salt—that it turns on the electrolytes. He was impressed.
I was surprised that Dwight, being the intelligent scientist that he is, was uninformed about the scientific information out about the dangers of GMO. So I loaned him my two Jeffrey Smith books, showing him how Jeffrey fully documented his claims with scientific evidence. After the meeting in Kailua, Dwight returned the books to me. In his soft-spoken way, he said he read the books and thanked me for loaning them to him.
I share these insights with others who are drinking Asantae coffee and thinking about taking the Asantae message out to more people. We are blessed to learn the truth about what creates heart health from this well-informed doctor who cares about people living long healthy lives. I see Asantae affiliates as being his ambassadors of healing, joining this high-minded retired cardiologist-turned author/businessman with a mission.
It is not surprising to me that Dr. Dwight Lundell is called "The Heart Beat of Asantae."Health | Tags: Genetic engineering, Genetically modified food, Genetically modified organism, heart attacks, open-heart surgery | Comment (0)

The program allows high school students to earn college and high school credit for the same course. Students enroll in college-level courses that are taught at their high school or attended at one of our campuses.
Why should I participate?
Fast Forward students have the opportunity to acquire college credit while satisfying their high school credits. Students are able to participate in challenging college-level courses while getting a head start on completing a future college credential and potentially saving money in the process.
What are the eligibility criteria?
To qualify for general education and business courses you must:
- Have an unweighted high school GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Have a minimum ACT score of 18 in English and 19 in Reading if you wish to take a course that does not involve math skills
- Have a minimum ACT score of 19-26 in Math (depending on the class), 19 in Reading, and 18 in English if you wish to take a course that does involve math skills

Please view the Fast Forward Checklist for details and next steps. Students must have all checklist items completed by August 6 for registration that occurred on or prior to August 6 or by August 19 for registration that occurred between August 7 and August 19.
Things to be aware of
Fast Forward students are treated the same as all other Pellissippi State students. In fact, unless a student self-discloses, it is entirely possible that his or her professor will never know that a dual enrollment student is in the class. It is also important to remember that Fast Forward courses become part of a student's permanent college transcript. No matter where you plan to attend college after graduation, a copy of your Pellissippi transcript will be required. Finally, please keep in mind that college professors cannot speak with parents about student attendance, grades, etc. unless the student signs a waver form. This is true even if the student is a minor.

A proud moment for Emiratis
All of us living in the UAE today should walk a little prouder. Traditional Emirati dance Al Ayyalah and Nabati poetry Al Taghruda have been recognised as unique by Unesco and added to the organisation's Intangible Heritage List.
The recognition comes after sustained efforts by the UAE government to promote both forms given that there has been growing concern among researchers and academics that traditional poetry and dance may be lost to the march of time and progress.
The Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (Adach) has been at the forefront in trying to preserve these cultural arts, and inclusion in the Intangible Heritage List gives those efforts a significant boost.
Indeed, Adach has been proactive in using every possible means, including YouTube, to preserve UAE culture. The Unesco recognition shows that the efforts of Adach are meritorious and noteworthy. For that, Adach should take a bow centre stage.

Vezzali happy to be woman to beat
Valentina Vezzali is bidding for a fourth successive gold medal at London 2012
If Italy's flag-bearing fencer Valentina Vezzali is seen trying to hurry things along or making a swift exit at Friday night's Olympic opening ceremony there is a good reason.
The 38-year-old's bid for an historic fourth successive gold medal in the women's individual foil is the first event of the fencing programme at the ExCeL Arena on Saturday - and competition starts at 10.30am.
While Britain's Natalia Shepherd and just about everyone else in the event is planning an early night, Vezzali has accepted one of the highest honours her country can give her.
When President Giorgio Napolitano handed her the flag at a special ceremony before leaving for London Vezzali described it as "very, very emotional, like when you place the winning jab".
The world number one expects to be "full of fire to represent Italy to the best" when she leads the team out and hopes the adrenalin rush will still be in her system when she steps onto the piste.
Only three Olympians - Carl Lewis in the long jump (1984-96), fellow American Al Oerter in the discus (1956-68) and Danish sailor Paul Elvstrom (1948-60) - have won individual golds in four successive Games, so Vezzali has the chance to become the first woman.
"I am aware that I will be the athlete to beat. But this has been so for years and also gives me strength and motivation," said the police officer, married to ex-footballer Domenico Giugliano.
Her main rival could be team-mate Elisa Di Francisca, who beat her in the European Championships in Sheffield last year, although Vezzali avenged that three months later when they clashed in the final again at the World Championships on home soil.
That was her sixth individual world title, but it is in the Olympics where she has achieved her main fame. Her debut came in Atlanta in 1996 and she took individual silver and team gold. Since then she has been unbeaten individually and has also added another team gold and a bronze four years ago in Beijing.
If she was to win the individual and team foil this time her seven golds would be the most by any Italian in any sport in Olympic history, beating the six of fellow fencers Nedo Nadi and Edoardo Mangiarotti.

Setting Up A Beautiful and Efficient Buffet
For all of you who answered "buffet all the way" when it comes to serving up holiday meals, you may be wondering exactly how to go about making the most of your set up...or you may have a few successful tips for the rest of us before tomorrow's big feast.
Depending on where you're serving, the size of your crowd, and the set up of your home, tips may vary, but there are a few general pieces of advice that seem to suit most situations.
• First, make sure all pets are accounted for...this coming from someone who needs to follow her advice more often. For our huge dog anything that's within snout's reach, which unfortunately is just about everything as long as nobody's looking, is fair game. And there's really nothing appetizing or beautiful about a half gobbled platter of Thanksgiving fare. This year, she'll be joining us after all guest plates are fully loaded.
• To make the most of space, set up separate stations for appetizers, drinks, dinner, and desserts. Not everything needs to be in the dining room or kitchen. Employ the entry console and coffee table if need be.
• For drinks, place the proper glasses next to the appropriate beverage. Depending on what you're serving this may not be an issue, but for those serving a variety of particular beverage, making sure wine glasses are next to the bottles of wine, champagne flutes next to the champagne, cocktail glasses next to the mixings, etc. will help reduce the likelihood of splattering wine as guests reach across the table to the fetch the proper glass. Label specialty drinks so that guests know what their getting themselves into.
• Appetizers make the most beautiful buffets! Depending on your traditions, they may not figure in large for a big meal like Thanksgiving, but if you are doing a cocktail hour spread, go wild! Remember, everything looks better on a cake stand, or spread out poetically. I always marvel whenever Bev Burch from the Willows Home & Garden in Phoenix posts pictures of her family's dinner parties and events (picture 2). The buffets are showstoppers, and most seem to possess exactly the type of casual elegance that helps guests to feel at ease. Tips to take away for cocktail hour buffets: spread a natural, un-precious table cloth or piece of raw natural material, place taller flowers in back, place messier items on cutting boards with appropriate serving items, play with height by placing some items on cake stands while letting others like crackers overflow onto the table cloth, then intersperse with tall groups of candles and natural decorative touches like leaves and fruit.
• For the main buffet, it helps to do a dry run the day before (today!) using empty serving platters as your templates to make sure everything fits— there's trying to make space on the table while wielding a 20 lbs plate of juicy something or other.
• If possible, move the main buffet table to the center of the room or at least away from a wall so that guests can reach it from all sides.
• Place dishes that go together side by side. That means, gravy next to the mashed potatoes — although I know many a person who would argue that gravy should cover everything— or all sauces at the end of the buffet so that guests can use them as they see fit. In our house, we generally put main courses at the beginning of the buffet and side dishes at the end.
• Label dishes and drinks using place card holders. If there are dietary concerns, list the ingredients under each dish. If space is limited this is an easy way to add a little festive flair without taking up a lot of space. Labels allow you to be as creative as you'd like to be (picture 8).
• If space permits, a menu scrawled on a chalkboard or decorative paper can be another way to spice up the atmosphere. For inspiration, check out Sunday Suppers, the talented Karen Mordechai's beautiful blog and new website.
• Limit centerpieces. Towering vases filled with water can be a disaster waiting to happen when it comes to a fully loaded table and lots of reaching hands — water-logged casserole anyone? It's usually safest to go with low lying centerpieces and candles that won't run the risk of being knocked over or catching anyone's sleeve on fire.
• Place Plates at the beginning of the buffet next to utensils (bundled with a napkin), or place plates at the beginning and utensils at the end.
• If guests are hesitant to start, pick out a line leader by handing them the first plate.
What other tips do you have for setting up the buffet?

A better idea might be to ask your guests what they plan to drink so they aren't trying to juggle everything on the way back to the dining table/coffee table/whatever. A stack of napkins and utensils needed would be properly placed there as well.
I recommend when doing the dry run, place sticky notes in each dish so you know what you're going to place in each bowl. Also match your service utensils at the same time. That way you are sure you have everything you need for the party.

This article would have been handy a few days ago. We hosted our first thanksgiving which was also the first largest dinner gathering we've had. I did as much as I could before hand but it's hard to judge just how much food takes up till all the platters and bowls and serving items are filled up. I had already pulled out all of the serving containers I had but it would have saved me confusion if I had done that sticky note trick. I was all fine until people started asking me which items were for which so they could help fill them up. Had a little freak out moment there but recovered quickly. :) The chalkboard/frame menu idea is cute. Some of my grand ideas, toasts and plans disappeared in the chaos but it was a great evening none the less.
As seen on AT in the past: another tip is to use boxes or, in my case, phone books, under the tablecloth to give nice height to platters without using cake stands.
I find it helps guests serve themselves better because one can be taking from the back platter while the other takes from the front one.
