Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), which is a widely cultivated, important economic fruit crop with nutritive and medicinal importance, has emerged as a model horticultural crop in this post-genomic era. Apple cultivation is heavily dependent on climatic condition and is susceptible to several diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, etc. Extensive research work has been carried out to standardize tissue culture protocols and utilize them in apple improvement. We review the in vitro shoot multiplication, rooting, transformation and regeneration methodologies in apple and tabulate various such protocols for easy reference. The utility and limitation of transgenesis in apple improvement have also been summarized. The concepts of marker-free plants, use of non-antibiotic resistance selectable markers, and cisgenic and intragenic approaches are highlighted. Furthermore, the limitations, current trends and future prospects of tissue culture-mediated biotechnological interventions in apple improvement are discussed.

Therapeutic introduction of ions of soluble salts into tissues by means of electric current. In medical literature it is commonly used to indicate the process of increasing the penetration of drugs into surface tissues by the application of electric current. It has nothing to do with ION EXCHANGE; AIR IONIZATION nor PHONOPHORESIS, none of which requires current.
Electric Stimulation Therapy
Application of electric current in treatment without the generation of perceptible heat. It includes electric stimulation of nerves or muscles, passage of current into the body, or use of interrupted current of low intensity to raise the threshold of the skin to pain.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Sacramento Kings small forward Francisco Garcia is expected to miss several more games because of a left calf strain.
Garcia missed his third straight game Friday night at Golden State with the injury. Kings coach Paul Westphal said Garcia aggravated the calf again during Thursday's practice and will be out for at least another week.
Garcia was averaging 9.3 points and 2.5 rebounds this season and worked his way into a starting role. He was the 23rd overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft after playing at Louisville.
Donte Greene has started in Garcia's place.

Europe's main stock markets mostly fell on Friday as investors fretted over Italy's post-election deadlock, poor economic data, looming US budget cutbacks and a raft of company results.
London's FTSE 100 index of leading companies bucking the trend to add 0.28 percent to close at 6,378.6 points on the back of encouraging US data including a third-straight month of increasing manufacturing.
Frankfurt's DAX 30 shed 0.43 percent to 7,708.16 points, and in Paris the CAC 40 lost 0.62 percent to 3,699.91 points.
Milan's FTSE Mib index lost 1.54 percent to 15,675 points as rising Italian unemployment numbers compounded worries about ongoing political uncertainty following inconclusive elections earlier this week.
Madrid's IBEX 35 retreated 0.52 percent to 8,187.1 points after gloomy news that Spain's manufacturing sector continued to shrink in February.
The euro fell to $1.2984 from $1.3062 late in New York on Thursday. Gold prices declined to $1,582.25 an ounce on the London Bullion Market from $1,588.50 on Thursday.
The looming $85-billion in indiscriminate, across-the-board US budget cuts known as the sequester, which are due to kick in on Friday unless politicians agree to alternatives cast a shadow over most of the European trading session.
Official data also painted a far from encouraging picture of the European economy, with unemployment running at record and "unacceptable" highs in the eurozone while inflation fell sharply, highlighting the weakness of consumer demand.
"European markets are under pressure, slapped by a combination of uncertainties over Italy's political outlook, the failure to avert the US sequester by lawmakers in Washington and damp economic data," said analyst Ishaq Siddiqi at trading group ETX Capital.
However "equities have been dragged higher in afternoon trade on the back of bullish US macro data, as well as optimism over progress in sequester negotiations," said CMC Markets trader Toby Morris.
US manufacturing activity expanded in February for the third month in a row, hitting the highest level since 2011, according to the ISM survey of purchasing managers released Friday.
Automakers also reported modest gains in February US sales, and consumer sentiment improved.
US stocks recouped early losses to show modest gains in midday trading.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.09 percent to 14,067.12 points, the broad-based S&P 500 climbed 0.13 percent to 1,516.58, and the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.03 percent to 3,161.27.
Equities had risen in Europe on Thursday as dealers brushed aside lower-than-expected US economic growth to focus on upbeat jobs data in the world's biggest economy, dealers said.
However, investor sentiment was hit Friday also by weak data in China -- and in the 17-nation eurozone where unemployment rose to a record 11.9 percent in January from 11.8 percent in December, with nearly 19 million people out of work.
Asian stock markets mostly ended lower on Friday in the wake of figures showing a slowdown to Chinese manufacturing activity, while shares in European miners fell on the back of the data.
In London, global miner Anglo American saw its share price slide 1.14 percent to 1,900 pence and peer Rio Tinto dropped 2.8 percent to 3,442 pence. Shares in steelmaker Arcelor Mittal lost 2.4 percent to 11.24 euros in Paris.
"Disappointing manufacturing numbers out of China, showing a slower pace of expansion on the back of weakening domestic demand, are weighting on the miners," added analyst Anita Paluch at Gekko Markets.
China's official purchasing managers' index showed activity in the crucial manufacturing sector eased to 50.1 last month from 50.4 in January, suggesting a recent pick-up in the world's number two economy is weaker than initially thought. A reading above 50 indicates growth.
Elsewhere on Friday, shares in Britain's state-rescued Lloyds Banking Group fell 2.24 percent to 53.25 pence.
Lloyds on Friday posted a 2012 net loss of £1.43 billion ($2.16 billion, 1.66 billion euros), rocked by huge compensation for insurance mis-selling, but awarded its boss a large performance bonus for the year.
The lender, which is 39-percent owned by the taxpayer, added however that pre-tax losses narrowed sharply to £570 million, from £3.5 billion last time around.
On the upside in Paris, shares in French defence electronics giant Thales soared 12.3 percent to 30.30 euros, as the stock was boosted by a bullish trading update that was issued the previous day.

I have buys in for this price. Hasn't hit yet with 45 minutes to go. This company pays a dividend for Pete's sake and makes money in a demanding sector with no debt. Certainly that is worth 3.72...Not to mention other shares at other prices I have. TIA - PS. This board has gone cuckoo!
how about this buy and then sell a call then reap 10% gains per year or more done.
or sell puts and again gain 10% gains per year or more.
note: this is how I mostly buy my stocks
You can buy shares of banks as a hedge. They are moving in opposite directions. Banks are in control of everything and they aren't hiding it anymore.
Pondering whether or not to put this back up today. It would have filled had I left it up overnight. Hmmmm. This stuff is frustrating and it has been a long road down...on the entire sector. Let there be light? The boards on Yahoo are terrible also. I need to find better use of my time. Good luck to all!

Dry Conditioner: What It Is And Why Your Hair Needs It
As far as we're concerned, dry shampoo is the bee's knees. We're so smitten, in fact, that we find it hard to imagine there's anything out there that we'd find as convenient and dependable as our spray-on go-to. Well, up until now, that is. There's a new kid on the block called dry conditioner, and we think we kind of have a serious crush on it.
According to celebrity stylist and Pantene brand ambassador Danilo, a dry conditioner is a suspension of oils and nutrients in a powder-like aerosol form that delivers supplemental care to dry, damaged hair without having to get it wet. Where dry shampoo is meant to soak up excess oils and freshen up unwashed hair, dry conditioner adds shine, protection, and body to coarse, dry, chemically-treated tresses.
So what's the difference between this and a regular, old leave-in conditioner? According to Danilo, because these oils and nutrients are suspended in powdered or dry form, you can spray them on your hair without getting it wet and messing up your style.
"I enjoy dry conditioners as a finish," he says. "They enhance and texturize while doing good by your hair at the same time. They are also a great way to get fresh hair to achieve an undone, tousled finish and a great way to give lackluster hair a pump up without a full shampoo, condition, and blowout. You can first use dry shampoo and then dry conditioner on clean or dirty hair."
That sounds like a tag team of time-saving products we'd be happy to add to our "too lazy to actually do anything to our hair" morning routine.
Göt2b Rockin' It 4ever Stylestay Dry Conditioner Spray, $6.40, available at Walgreens; Pantene Aqua Light Weightless Conditioning Shake, $6.25, available at Soap.com; Suave Professionals Dry Conditioning Spray, $3.39, available at Drugstore.com.

should be up front for the kill decision without the human. kind i'd like the drones. ironically i am going to use today and on dash sudan to help us go into a pyramid that has not been explored but has a lot of rock falls. they will be executed even to leave the first what is the fastest way to the burial chamber? what does the lookout look-alike? don't let the title miss lead you but that they were both very optimistic when we share the planet with machines that are smarter than we are.
10:08 pm
and then to help us solve every medical problem with the general mortality. the short a space odyssey before a science-fiction lead -- legend and then went out to win every award about sharing the planet with machines. he said intelligence will win and machines will dominate. that we steer the future not because theophrastus or the stone guest preacher but because you're the most intelligent we share the planet with someone smarter
10:09 pm
than ourselves they will steer the future. that affected me when i started to interview a.i. makers and roboticist shortly after that. to workout this idea when i spoke with artificial intelligence programmers sure enough everybody agreed with the premise most of the decisions affecting our lives will be made by machines. will that transition be friendly? with for a modification will be create machines smarter than ourselves? but i learned if we proceed of the course we are currently following fabled
10:10 pm
develop their own drive. with self protection and quickly we can become their tools. my book is called our final invention is speaks to the need over human intelligence before it is created. with those people that italy is then driven to create smart machines a.i. those that newsday would also it immersed me into the lives to stop the reckless use and development the most intensely enjoyable the also the most harrowing.
10:11 pm
i got more than a bargain for but i found more bad news. so how do we get from smart phones to the machine that threatens our existence? do you think scientists can make a machine as smart as a human? if not been the problem is too hard for something about the human brain that defines the jury. >> the problem is either too hard or something magical or
10:12 pm
mysterious. less than 15% believe the problem is too hard but there is nothing that would be like that. but i do a wider pool of experts and combine them but my conclusion there is nothing magical to create human level intelligence. if you follow that path you may not be aware if you follow that we can crack the problem is systematic time. if intelligence is the
10:13 pm
problem that is when it is about 2045 within our lifetime. with a specialist in non specialist from "the new yorker" magazine he was kind enough to review and said this about how long it would take one century from now and nobody will care. what they care about is what happens next. so what is important but we
10:14 pm
have prepared ourselves. but how exactly how machines get smart enough. there are a couple of chapters about the genius that worked as a code breaker. but what he said i will give you time to read it. i will give you 20 seconds. [laughter]
10:15 pm
i'd like to put it another way we already created machines that are better than we are in other tasks like navigation over the next decade to create machines that are better at research data bang can improve the capabilities. if they jump to vastly super human intelligence but how close are we with the physics experiments and hypophysis for further experimentation so the software system within reach
10:16 pm
fate of the field the of revolutionary algorithms. but the software system that is general intelligence but when that self improving soulful where it exists it could rapidly include its own intelligence then they will have the smarter machine. that takes us back to the question were millions of times more intelligent than we are. what makes us assume they will be friendly? now to switch to real computers like the i am watson is like the technology that i talk about.
10:17 pm
like this machines by the watson team plays out what the computing really is. there massively parallel that means the process a lot currently and not one at a time. it has 30 million pages of common-sense knowledge. using that cognitive architecture with to rating jeopardy champions it is not a trivial game it involves word meanings, knowledge of everything to be the collection of cognitive powers for statistical reasoning but hypophysis
10:18 pm
generation is important regenerate hypotheses all the time we statistically weighed them all the time. how long will this guy talk about artificial intelligence? you could hypothesize 40 minutes. that is the hypophysis. but what said is strange to take licensing exams. to perform medical diagnostics it would be a consulting physician but to license with certain kinds of liability.
10:19 pm
>> you know, the a.i. functions are good when they take our jobs and competes in the job market. by a.i. and automated sports writers and drink -- bank tellers postal workers clerical workers, pharmacists soon to be replaced by medical dietitians right now the average driver is the literacy but when it is risen overall we will be happier then goes the driver's. software developers, a
10:20 pm
recent article of m.i.t. technology the 45% it is a conservative estimate. how close is to the intelligence? it is so close that it is job number what the four companies and governments. what they poured billions of dollars to create virtual brains. that the price of a computer's the most lucrative product of the world. it is the most lucrative product in the history of the world. imagine those working on cancer research, weapons development imagine that product to compete to drive
10:21 pm
the price down. who would not want that technology? this is a short list of the people going for him intelligence. including nsa. artificial general intelligence giving it 1 billion euros to as his project led by gary markham like to go. -- google. think the mind was just acquired by groupe bull for $400 trillion. writing about this for a long time before they became a billionaire said the sale
10:22 pm
is that google's sets up the board for ethics and safety. it is a giant millstone that setting a high bar for future purchases that once these guidelines cannot once they get out but the industry needs guidelines all of us who are thinking about those issues is the great acknowledgement. if google's does not appoint the board and the shareholders google is not afraid of lawsuits but they will have to prove
10:23 pm
themselves in the court of public opinion. what is the one thing these groups have in common at a i will dominate the to do first century. you might ask yourself what could possibly go wrong? makes machines carrying out algorithms. energy transportation, and our banking system and computers are every where how do we jump to dangerous? because of this man. he is the ted maker for understanding artificial super intelligence and i
10:24 pm
have two chapters of the final intervention. he uses the theory of economics. get that humans or machines has preferences of utility functions. to make a predictable when the economist proposed is this that we're not rational all the time you're impulse buyers. but we can probably anticipate that smart machines would be logical of that economic sense. to have a basic drive with self protection and efficiency and increase.
10:25 pm
self improving machines whether that goal is to play chess and to succeed they will need resources or whatever is most expedient. they will also seek to avoid failure like being turned off or unplug. they will protect themselves they will be efficient and squander resources. for creative ways to achieve their goals. since it is one witting route here is the rub. with the risk of a i behavior sue for intelligence is not imply benevolence super
10:26 pm
intelligence is dangerous they will try to overthrow us but it is useful to use all available resources to achieve that goal. we're not talking about syria but sued for intelligence. we have to get used to such a big ideas that in pursuit of the locals there would think to manipulate matter that would solve the problems of nanotechnology. a.i. does not love you or hate you but you are used for something else. it will not share our values by default it will create immense power that but hundred% a moral without extremely careful programming like social
10:27 pm
past. the obvious solution is to give value human life and property. if we cannot tell when life begins how to retell machines how to protect the life? they have fought hard time defining humans from women and children. if we declare we want to be safe if happiness is the coal a powerful machine will stimulate the brain pleasure center. we could argue about what is right and wrong all day and not reach agreement. in addition from culture to culture of the good life
10:28 pm
slave holding is different from the good life today. what will live be one century from now? it does not conflict with your goals with what is best for you. but with the concept of friendliness. these are the concepts win be share the planet with those smart of the demons. it gets worse. before we can figure out how to make friendly machines nsa duty tries to kill humans on the battlefield. if he's killed the machines are friendly the shareholders will be very disappointed. but think about what autonomous really is.
10:29 pm
machines that kill people? sixty-six nations are developing battlefield robots. that will then take an killed humans without a human in the loop by 23040% of combat forces our robot. 2030. not just the autonomous humanlike machine things that carry equipment because 50 percent of the battlefield will be robots. what i hope you get it is really just around the corner this time there really is. and a.g.i. is not all the
10:30 pm
uncontrollable but those who cannot even think about how to control it. it illustrates with the advanced technologies it runs far ahead of stewardship. look at the science of bombs and nuclear reactors and nuclear submarines would it was dreamed about it was no way to split the atom but the more i have learned it was rapid the westernized. in the same way a.i. quickly turned into a weapon over the next 50 years with a gun pointed at its own head. because there's no plan for maintenance of this technology.
10:31 pm
that was a disaster. we did not kill ourselves but we have a gun to our head but that is not the adaptation. but they will fail with that technology that is a.i.. is there a solution? yes. there is a lot on the drawing board. in the 1970's research to have a meeting in california to have basic guidelines you might contaminate the environment. the guidelines are still in place but to keep bad reactions in accidents from happening.
10:32 pm
a.i. has more guidelines the atomic energy agency that cost a lot of money. that without of rule to create such an agency but now i am actually hopeful before we have to suffer an accident to get it. so my sincere thanks for being here tonight. to him glad you have to dig into this conversation i am happy to answer any questions. [applause] >> do you equate self awareness to consciousness or is there a difference?
10:33 pm
>> i think there is a difference for the computer to be self aware it does not need to have consciousness' the way we understand it but to have a model of the environment. and also hast to know added deep level programming. all the nuances of consciousness are beyond us in the short term. we don't know enough about consciousness but everything else that we do hold the other parts of the toolkit i think are more within reach. >> what about the possibility of the programmers are smart but fallible will come up with a technology that just as if
10:34 pm
you turn on the computer it will be infected. had you thought about that? >> not much. a very interesting thought. there will always be saboteurs and mel where. -- malware. we will see more and more a.i. programmers creating bad programs. i worry about that with relationship to our energy grid. but i read the guys who want to stop the a.i. smart enough to create programs to outsmart the programs from those from a lot of money? i think it is possible.
10:35 pm
>> i may have misunderstood but you are looking for two types of safeguards? >> the a.i. community this is about interviews with a.i. developers. we want safeguards. >> but by definition the similarities are rapidly expanding intelligence? >> once you get the super intelligence yes. there is a group the machine intelligence research the is
10:36 pm
trying to have safe a.i. that those programs that creates the lead dna. that tries to learn lessons from the industrial process built in from the inception. right now and advanced cognitive architecture but we will put a condom on its. but you have to start from scratch. there is a book called normal accidents about the development in to learn a lesson for labatt -- from that and gets $20,000 in donations per year with the digit long dash budget of 50 billion.
10:37 pm
>> when is it apparent these machines get the upper hand in to think that the machine is wonderful with that the emotional relationship that somehow that conversation is on their side. and that is all due. >> the answer for more fake bias. all the time we think hot
10:38 pm
that computers relate to us and siri relates to a does have you seen the movie "her"? i saw a robot once at m.i.t. kismet has the aspect of a child when you are with it your eyes get big if it is scared it will shrink back. and all the reactions so complex they could not point to just the complexity problem. >> but it was in the motion
10:39 pm
you get fond of it very quickly. >> and about three-quarters of the way through your book and i find it fascinating if you drill down deeper from a crisis in this species sending crisis, there are a lot of questions raised and i wonder as i was reading it for research to interview what is the nature of consciousness and can it be reduced? >> the chapter that i turn to now with the people that think consciousness is the backbone of intelligence but i said in the book that the
10:40 pm
issue of consciousness is so big and so important with that computational narrow scientist what do you make of this? and now to feel vindicated you're justified i think what is developing is a distinction that i have grasped is product development not research. that it is not the best answer overall. with rapid product research you could discover the consciousness with the offense even more slippery
10:41 pm
so we're doing fast product development. in the 30's and early 40's then be held to ransom for 50 years. >> [inaudible] >> that is a great question. you could not help admire him. but what he thinks but we will create brains faster than stand-alone a.g.i. then
10:42 pm
we are safe. because we will be super intelligence. but that is because we think we are safe. [laughter] than those the point get augmented our soldiers first they are not dumb but they're not pacifists. that is not exactly a recipe for safety either. to using during a.i. research how would they react? >> their reaction we get specific error to humanlike.
10:43 pm
>> i get that way with some people. [laughter] they seem lifelike. [laughter] i think we will experience that. that is the problem that is what we should worry about with music for battlefield and other things. but if we make it that far then we will claus right over it. >> just like the research project, that was when big
10:44 pm
things are created. to go straight from the computer to the printing press. to take up the other stuff you could pick out what and years later they pointed out the head of the science program. the of the individual programmer. with said the discussions looking at the leering of the algorithms.
10:45 pm
doing the coding to inform the intelligence. >> i know something that is very similar to that. this is what shocked me. they already said they would replace us. then they would skip to that. something about our essence to carry on to the future. they accepted that with the personality that is the code that is a fascinating fade with a.i. that is worth preserving the waterfall qualities that we have. that we would be replaced or it is hard to tell who was
10:46 pm
machine or computer. what can we instill with the super intelligence? >> i am not sure how relevant it was but these think religion will be preserved? i know it seems doubtful. >> i don't think so but there is a woman named a and forest a theologian when i saw kismet at m.i.t. righty about that issue. but if we create things with seoul's that we needed a guide for how to treat them
10:47 pm
those guides are the old testament and other text. did they develop spiritual wonder? >>. >> to come across descriptions with those that can take almost all the emotion out and the end result was the same. people like that are very indecisive they cannot make up their minds because the motion gives the drive to do things. karen they replicate the emotion and the drive? >> that is a great question. i think based on what has been written and he is so positive pcs positive outcomes.
10:48 pm
he will see their goal driven one of the definitions of intelligence so they will not lacks the drive but pursuing something in original programming. i am not sure that is connected to the motion. where we might have the basic drive to be satisfied. but his a answer would be the machines are driven. >> do you read with attitude? >> in the book they will
10:49 pm
because they compete for the save resources and ultimately with us not just looking for present threats for acquisition by future threats what is 100 years to a machine? so they will look down what could be 50 years later. >> of first huge move advantage to create the first a.i.. like chess. when it gets to me that developed just unplug. we could on behalf of the nsa. but they will say we can't because china will not and pugo will not because i am will not. because there is such a great product at the end.
10:50 pm
>> [inaudible] there is concern raised by the scientist that grow up. they decided to take a chance. [laughter] >> that is the nature of technology with exploration. they were in a desperate place. those now that china is on the brink. so to address it now before we get to that front tear that it could be here sooner than we think. we should probably wrap up but thank you so much for coming thank you for buying the book in taking time to
10:51 pm
come here tonight. [applause] >> that was fascinating and scary. three do have copies of his book if you would like to take it home and get it signed. thank you. we will have more conversations about this in the next 15 years.

Dying for Mercy (Mass Market Paperbound)
Email or call for price
Special Order
The recently renovated Pentimento, located in New York's exclusive moneyed enclave of Tuxedo Park, is no ordinary estate. Strange secrets have been ingeniously built into its fountains, frescoes, statues, and architecture clues to a bizarre mystery that is first brought to light when the owner commits suicide during a lavish gala.
Eliza Blake, co-anchor of the popular morning television show KEY to America, is present when the party is cut short by the host's sudden, macabre death and she's the first to discover that Pentimento is a giant "puzzle house." But each piece is leading Eliza and her KEY News colleagues producer Annabelle Murphy, cameraman B. J. D'Elia, and psychiatrist Margo Gonzalez deeper into darkness, toward a killer who believes that some puzzles must never be solved. And it soon becomes shockingly clear that no amount of wealth or privilege can keep the residents of Tuxedo Park safe . . . and alive.
About the Author
Mary Jane Clark worked at CBS News for nearly three decades. Her twelve KEY News media thrillers were inspired by that experience. Envisioning the Piper Donovan/Wedding Cake mystery series, Mary Jane enrolled in cake-decorating classes and researched unique wedding locations. The daughter of an FBI agent and a mother who customized cakes for the neighborhood kids when she was growing up, Mary Jane has two grown children and splits her time between New Jersey and Florida.
Praise For…
"Clark has perfected the suspense novel . . . in classic Christie fashion."
Clark's latest rivals Christie's best. Her short, to-the-point chapters, lucid prose, numerous suspects and faceless murderer's creepy monologues keep the suspense at its chilliest level — and move the story forward at a brisk clip. One of Clark's — and the genre's — best.
-Associated Press
"smooth . . . Those curious about Tuxedo Park will appreciate the well-researched portrait of the real-life exclusive community."
-Publishers Weekly
As always, Clark gives the reader a strong trail of red herrings. This is another satisfying look at the behind-the-scenes world of television network news tied around an intriguing puzzle

Definition of triskaidekaphobia
: fear of the number 13
Did You Know?
It's impossible to say just how or when the number thirteen got its bad reputation. There are a number of theories, of course. Some say it comes from the Last Supper because Jesus was betrayed afterwards by one among the thirteen present. Others trace the source of the superstition back to ancient Hindu beliefs or Norse mythology. But if written references are any indication, the phenomenon isn't all that old (at least, not among English speakers). Known mention of fear of thirteen in print dates back only to the late 1800s. By circa 1911, however, it was prevalent enough to merit a name, which was formed by attaching the Greek word for "thirteen" - treiskaideka (dropping that first "e") - to phobia ("fear of").

Product Description:
A teenage outcast finds an effective but dangerous way to impress his hipper classmates in this independent drama. Jonah Brand (John Patrick Amedori) is a new student at an exclusive private school, and unlike most of his classmates, Jonah is neither wealthy nor especially self-assured. Jonah's social clumsiness is especially troubling to him given his infatuation with Sara (Lizzy Caplan), a pretty girl who travels in an elite social circle. Sara takes a shine to Jonah despite his geeky attitude, but her pals -- sometime boyfriend Troy (Jonathon Trent), spoiled Erin (Jenny Wade) and emotionally abusive Lucas (D.J. Cotrona) -- make it clear they have no use for him. That changes when Lucas learns Jonah has a part time job at a pharmacy, and realizes he could get them a variety of under-the-counter medications if they play their cards right. Lucas, Erin and Troy have little trouble persuading Johan to get them all the pills they want, but as their experimentation with drugs grows, they begin to take greater risks; they also discover that Jonah's willingness to get them drugs isn't as benevolent as it may have seemed. Also starring Daryl Hannah, LOVE IS THE DRUG was the first feature film from director Elliott Lester.

I finally finished crocheting my girls bedspreads. I am very happy with how they turned out ❤ and I hope that they will be cherished for many years to come and associated with many happy childhood memories ❤
The girls love them. And I am very proud of myself because I accomplished such a big double project
The square is a classic one. You can find its pattern here in this blog in the header with the free patterns.
I joined the squares together as I go with a last round of 1sc 3ch 1sc all around the square and in the 4 corners.
For the edging I chose to do a simple one. I will maybe add some rounds to that edging in the future. But right now I love its simplicity ❤
Yarn: Stylecraft special dk and Stylecraft life dk.
Hook: 3.5mm
That's all for today my lovelies. I hope that you liked the bedspreads as much as I love them ❤
Have a lovely evening!
The children are still on Easter Vacation mode and I am trying my best to manage some free time to crochet in my busy-mom-days
I am now working on the second bedspread of my girls room and wish to finish it soon
And I looooooove it ❤
I love colorful granny squares and a simple edging with picots ❤
Yarn: stylecraft special aran and Nako vizon.
Hook: 4.5mm
I hope it will be well loved and cherished in its new home ❤
Have a lovely week!
Some I am still crocheting…
A ripple blanket ❤
A c2c blanket ❤
Grannies I decided to make bigger and surround them with white for a future king size bedspread ❤
A patchwork bedspread I am doing for my oldest Christina ❤
A granny blanket I decided to finish for a friend ❤
5 wip projects in total I am enjoying crocheting each one a lot ❤
And this scrappy ripple I finished in February ❤
Isn't it beautiful?
Happy Easter my wonderful friends
Love ❤
Here it is ❤
This is a blanket I started in 2014 and I decided to finish it this week and offer it to a friend who's moving to a new house. I added 27 squares already and have now to join them to the rest and make an edging I always crochet my best when in a hurry to finish something and I have to finish this this week
More about my other wips and finished projects very soon I promise I won't be gone for too long this time
Wishing you a beautiful Easter and blessed week!
Love ❤
January is mostly done and it was a busy and productive month ♥
I've made a granny square scarf for me ♥
A south bay shawlette in the wonderful scheepjes merino soft yarn ♥
A granny squares cushion ♥
A corner to corner (c2c)cushion ♥
I loved working on this pattern. It is really lovely and quick to grow…
And I am currently working on my ripple blanket ♥
Using different yarns from my stash: Sylecraft special aran, scheepjes stonewashed XL, Nako vizon…
I love mixing different brands of yarn ♥
And I started two days ago a new project ♥ A granny squares blanket mixing different brands of yarn too (Same stash as my ripple blanket shown above)
I am very very excited to work on this new blanket. Granny squares are my favorite ♥
That is all for January
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Here are my 2015 pics month by month ♥
Wishing you health, joy, love and a lot of yarn and crochet for the new year ♥
Cheers to 2016!
The title of that post could be the bedspread tadaaaa but I will not make a proper tadaaa post now. I will leave it for later.
The first bedspread is done. And it is beautiful. Really beautiful.
But it needs one more round to add to the edging. A round not in grey.
But I will not do it now. I need to finish the second bedspread (yes they are 2) and then make a proper edging for both and a proper tadaaa post for both too. Because they will live in the same room on twin beds ♥
I love the simplicity of this plain design. I love how the corners make shapes when joined together. I simply love it ♥
You can find a pattern for both the square and the joining method here.
Now I started the second one. Same design. Same colors. Same yarn (Stylecraft special dk and stylecraft life dk) and same love ♥
And I started a ripple blanket too ♥ I have a really really big stash of aran yarn and had some days ago a ripple envy ♥
A very big colorful ripple (one color by row) to keep me busy this coming winter. Want to join me? I will be hooking this blanket along with the second bedspread.
I will be using all the colors of my stash even the ones that I don't really love. Not very sure about the result but a little voice in my head keeps saying yes to me.
And I must confess that even though I hold my breathe every time I add a new color, I am loving it more and more ♥
The pattern I am using is my loving ripples of happiness and you can find it here. So come on! join me! Let's destash! Let's create something beautiful from our leftovers. A rainbow of beautiful ripples ♥ Let's hook together during the cold months this soothing colorful blanket I will be really really happy if you join me!
And I am still knitting my second trendy chale. It made me very happy to see that some of you joined me in this knitting project. I love my first trendy chale* and wear it every day. Can't wait to finish this second one too.
*All about my trendy chale in this post
Have to leave you now…
Wishing you a really really lovely day ♥
Stay safe ♥

My son has been living in Morocco for the past 6 months and is returning to the US on 8/1. Where would be the best place for him to convert his dirhams back to USD? Since he was there for so long, he opened an account there and has quite a few dirhams to convert. We live near Charlotte, NC, so we do have a pretty good size city to access. Thank you.

Converting from Moroccan dirhams to USD
Report Abuse
I believe that you can't actually bring dirhams out of Morocco, but I'm not entirely certain of that. So it may not be possible to convert currency in the U.S. Even if it is, he'll get a lousy exchange rate since it's not a major currency. So he probably needs to convert everything at his bank before he departs when he closes his account. He'll likely get the best rate that way, though he needs to check soon. The bank may need to order cash, and if it's a smaller town, that may be easier said than done, but if it's a big Moroccan bank, there are branches everywhere, and he can probably withdraw his funds and close the account at a branch in Casablanca.
If he carries out more than US$10K in cash, he needs to report that on his customs form. He can bring out as much as he wants, but it has to be reported.
An additional option would be to do a wire transfer directly into a U.S. bank account from his bank in Morocco if he has one (or your account if he does not). That might cost more since you usually have to pay for a foreign bank transfer on both ends, but it would be safer than carrying the cash.
Report Abuse
He can not transfer funds directly into his US bank account from a Moroccan bank account, Moroccan gov does not like to have their Dirhams sent out of the country but welcomes alot otherwise.
The solution would be to go to an office in the city of Rabat, where they can convert Dirhams to US dollars and permits him to carry out of the country,the office name can not really remember, but am sure any banker at one of the big cities can advise on the name.
G luck
Report Abuse
How many Dirhams are you talking about?
Report Abuse
Just of a couple of notes for those with Dirhams in pocket at the end of a Morocco trip.
1) There is no easy, convenient, 'legal' way to convert Dirhams once outside of Morocco.
2) ATM's in Morocco are reasonably easy to find and reliable, so getting local currency is not really a problem. The ATM's offer (at least in my case) significantly better exchange rates than money exchanges.
3) Many places accept euros (especially hotels, riads, and restuarant), so they can be used as a backup.
4) If you have leftover Dirhams at the end of your trip, there are money exchanges as most of the airports. Just make sure that you change the money BEFORE going through security (as there is no place after it). If you do have Dirhams after security, there are a few shops (e.g. duty free, Hudson News, and a coffee shop in Rabat) that will take Dirhams.

MTV Reels Back "Understaffed" Description of Mystery OC Hospital in Scrubbing In Show
Since the show is still in production, MTV is not ready to confirm the Orange County hospital serving as the setting for the reality show Scrubbing In, promising all will be revealed in a couple weeks.
But the network is ready to announce that, in direct contradiction to a previous announcement, that hospital is not "understaffed."
Sounds like someone got called to the stained hospital lobby carpet (not that were saying there are stains on the carpet of the now-non-understaffed hospital where the "reality" show is set).
Speaking of which, if you go to the comments in the link below, you'll discover that some readers have identified a certain OC hospital:

Scrubbing In is the Latest MTV Reality Show Set in Orange County. God Help Us All.
Meanwhile, here's the plea that we un-understaff whichever joint it is in our coverage:
Hi Matt - Hope you're well. I wanted to introduce myself and Brandi, copied here, as we handle communications for MTV's new upcoming docu-series "Scrubbing In." Saw your post on Wednesday and wanted to thank you for your coverage. One minor thing, however, we wanted to alert you that there as been an update to the series description and were curious if you could remove the word "understaffed" from the below line in your article as it's not factual. "Some of these folks will have left their hometowns and lives in Pittsburgh, PA, for short-term contracts at an understaffed hospital, with the added benefit of exploring a new city."
The new description is copied here with a link to the updated press release. Really appreciate your help and would love to work together on this new series. http://mtvpress.com/press/release/mtv_to_debut_two_new_docu_series_big_tips_texas_and_scrubbing_in_this_octob
"Scrubbing In," follows a group of travel nurses assigned to work at an Orange County, CA hospital for 12 weeks. Relocating from across the country, these nurses have left their hometowns and lives behind for short-term hospital contracts, with the added benefit of exploring a new city. For Tyrice, Chris, Fernando and Adrian, this isn't their first tour and they're considered experts of the program. For first-timers Chelsey, Michelle, Crystal, Nikki and Heather, this is a new journey they're embarking on together, looking for a change from their nursing jobs in Pittsburgh, PA.

Sunday, April 6, 4:30p – 6:30p
Join us as we contemplate Shakyamuni Buddha's teaching comparing ordinary life (Samsara) and transcendent life (Nirvana) . Participate in a practice to taste that transcendent mind and learn how the study and practice connects together to start to transform our situations and open the door to what lays beyond. This practice will help to prepare the students minds for the upcoming series of very special teachings that Rinpoche is planning to teach this year. This set of teachings will give students both experiential and practical methods to prepare their minds and deepen their ability to cultivate in the Dharma. All are welcome to join in our ongoing cultivation of Buddhist teachings in its essence and purity under the skillful guidance of our lama, Namnang Mingjo Dorje Rinpoche, the 68th Lineage Holder of the Nagavara Raja Lineage. Those who are brand new will have the opportunity to learn more about our lineage and opportunities for group study. Rinpoche was re-discovered at the age of 6 by the 67th Lineage Holder and trained in Wutai Mountain in China. Out of his deep compassion and wisdom, and from lifetimes of cultivation, he is able to guide beings of this time to mature all the qualities and abilities of our hearts and minds. Rinpoche is currently traveling but has passed these special practices to help existing and new students to prepare / improve their foundation for his teachings.

Romania to Have Near-Normal Warmth This Week as Heat Subsides
Romania is expected to have close-to-normal temperatures and localized rainfall in the coming week, ending a heat wave that damaged corn in the European Union's second-largest grower of the grain.
Temperatures will climb as high as 33 degrees Celsius (91.4 degrees Fahrenheit) in the period through Aug. 20, with average daytime temperatures as high as 26 degrees, close to the climatic average, the National Meteorological Administration wrote in an agro-weather bulletin today.
Available water supply for crops will remain low to very low, with most of the agricultural areas in moderate to extreme drought, the weather office wrote. Temperatures rose as high as 41 degrees Celsius last month, wilting crops including corn.
Crop development for field crops and fruit trees will be hampered by soil-moisture deficits, with undersized fruits and early fruit fall, according to the office.

This is a great product for my 11 year old daughter. She is in sports and needed some extra support but didn't want any padding. This fit the bill and you can't beat the price.
My daughter said that they felt tight around where the bottom would rest. She didn't like them.
Great quality, but every time my daughter raises her arms she almost always has to pull the bra back down over her breast. very UNCOMFORTABLE! They just don't fit right. If they were 1 1/2"-2" longer they would fit PERFECT.
They are perfect I needed a sports bra and these are perfect!!
These sport bras come in 3 different colors and they are very comfortable to wear.
Unfortuantely, had to return this set, didn't fit my daughter who is 12 , but they are really nice !!!!
What I don't understand is why do you have black bras for little girls? I wanted to buy these in a pack of three but just couldn't see my 9 year old wearing a black bra!! This is totally ridiculous for a child! Stick with white and pastel colors..they are children for god sacks not grown women!
Before she'd had the training bra type that was white and was okay with that, but she really enjoys these. They fit her body better and she thinks they're easier to pull on and off.
I would recommend this product. For my daughter, this bra fits! And they are soft. The wider strap doesn't leave marks on her shoulder. I have washed them and they also do up nicely.
Ordered these for my granddaughter. Fit perfectly. Also arrived sooner than what they said.
Ordered a size 30 for my daughter who measured 28 and it was too small. Otherwise she liked the style.
these are a good fit and a brand i trust
My daughter loved these bras!
