What a truly wonderful bread Bellinda. It was perfect. Great flavor and texture. It was quick and easy to make, with excellent results. What a lovely moist bread this is...perfect with a cup of tea. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely recipe.
What a fabulous cake/bread - incredibly moist and the recipe made a very generous and not too dense cake. I used a combo of pureed mango and pureed apricot - both tinned - with a great fruity result !! Thanks, made for ZWT5
We enjoyed the taste of this bread as is, but would like to make it another time & throw in a half cup or so of golden raisins ~ What can I say but that I LOVE raisins! Also, I served thin slices & managed to get 10 from the loaf! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed while in Australia during the ZWT5]

Toby Keith performance interrupted by mortar fire in Afghanistan.
"Country music star Toby Keith had a performance in Afghanistan last week interrupted by mortar fire, according to his booking agent. Curt Motley, the agent, told The Oklahoman in an e-mail that the 46-year-old Keith was playing his song 'Weed With Willie' for troops during a USO Tour stop at a base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, on Thursday when mortar fire sent the singer and most of the about 2,500 soldiers in the crowd scrambling for shelter."

J. Scott Applewhite, Associated Press
Just imagine … a liberal Democratic president striking a deal with conservative Republicans, while other liberal Democrats are fuming!
Monday's announcement of an agreement between the Obama administration and the Republican congressional leadership was a positive development. Both sides gained at the bargaining table, while both sides also gave on issues they find distasteful.
Meanwhile, about-to-be-outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is angry with the president for selling out. She and other members of the Democratic elite are suggesting that their support of such a broad agreement should not be taken for granted.
The Republicans get what they wanted: an extension of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for ALL taxpayers for two years, as well as relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The Republicans also get clarity on the estate tax, with a 35 percent tax rate on estates larger than $5 million for an individual and $10 million for a couple. More aggressive write-offs for business investments made during 2011 were also included.
The president gets what he wanted: a 13-month extension of unemployment benefits for millions of longer-term unemployed people; a nearly one-third reduction in the Social Security withholding rate for workers (from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent on incomes up to $106,800); and an extension of the earned income tax credit.
Just imagine … the political game of give and take — of actual cooperation between political parties — working for a change.
Political reality suggested the need for compromise. Failure to reach any type of tax agreement would have seen tax rates for all income earners move higher on Jan. 1, now less than four weeks away. This is exactly what a fragile economic recovery didn't need.
In addition, the president was painfully aware that early January finds the Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives. The GOP would have immediately passed an extension of the Bush tax cuts for all taxpayers, perhaps trying to make it permanent.
The Senate, still under a slight Democratic majority, might have actually gone along with a tax cut extension, although not likely making it permanent. Note: 23 Democratic senators are up for re-election in 2012, while only nine Republicans face the voters. The Democrats clearly saw in early November what following the strict Democratic line did for many other Democratic House and Senate members.
With likely congressional approval of extending the tax cuts for ALL income earners, the president would have then had to make a choice: Veto the bill or sign it.
What it all means
In my view, three powerful and positive developments have occurred in recent weeks.
The first was success by voters in early November of derailing the ever-expanding nature of government fueled by the administration and the Democratic leadership in the Congress.
The second was the relative success of the Obama deficit reduction commission in gaining traction in our longer-term need to control the growth rate of government spending. Yes, the commission only had 11 of the required 14 votes to send the package to the Congress. However, a critical dialogue has begun.
The statement by former Clinton White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles, one of the commission co-chairmen, that "the era of deficit denial in Washington is over" will (hopefully) resonate for weeks and months to come as politicians (hopefully) get serious about the need to control the growth rate of government spending — and place this country on a more fiscally stable path … imagine that
The final development is the tax agreement noted above. The ability of political parties to come together for the good of the nation, above their individual pursuits, is essential to dealing with major issues.

Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.
– Rikki Rogers
That quote to the left? That's mine. Quite accidentally, I designed something one day that went a bit viral… it wasn't an image, or a video. I like to think that what caught on – what resonated for so many people – was the idea that we're all capable of more than we know.
The thing that I once thought I couldn't overcome was work. Work was always an inconvenience. It was that thing I did while I daydreamed about what I wanted to be doing; graphic design. Work was the opposite of art. It was mind-numbing and hard. And I hated every minute of it.
And then I went back to school to make the daydream into my every day. Design is complicated. Design is hard, at times. But it's also exhilarating, creative, and I get to speak to people every day who are busting with passion for what they do. I get to help them share that passion with other people. I get to earn my keep in this world as an artist – and the percentage of artists who can say that their art is also their bread and butter is pretty slim. I wake up feeling thankful for that every day. Are you passionate about what you do, too? Let me help you build your brand. Scroll down to see some of the awesome folks who already have.

text: As a first approximation to the analysis of a space flight from the earth to Mars, assume the orbits of the earth and Mars are circular and coplanar. The mean distances from the sun to the earth and to Mars are 92.96 × 106 mi and 141.5 × 106 mi, respectively. To place the spacecraft into an elliptical transfer orbit at point A, its speed is increased over a short interval of time to vA which is 1.83 mi/s faster than the earth's orbital speed. When the spacecraft reaches point B on the elliptical transfer orbit, its speed vB is increased to the orbital speed of Mars. Knowing that the mass of the sun is 332.8 × 103 times the mass of the earth, determine the increase in speed required at B.

Merkel Says Doctors Ordered Treatment for High Blood Pressure
German Chancellor Angela Merkel indicated that she's being treated for high blood pressure, saying the condition was discovered two decades ago when she applied for a government job.
A medical exam related to her job application to the German government's press office "pointed out to me that I have to watch my blood pressure a bit," Merkel said in response to a question by ARD television talk-show host Guenther Jauch in Berlin late yesterday. "Since then, I've been getting good medical treatment."
While Merkel confirmed that elevated blood pressure led to her rejection for the government job, she said she didn't challenge it because she won a seat in December 1990 parliamentary elections, the first after East and West Germany reunited following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Merkel, who was raised under communism in former East Germany, said she applied for the job after acting as spokeswoman for Lothar de Maiziere, the premier who emerged from the country's first and last free elections earlier in 1990.

Down 2% on a 100+ day, makes no sense.
Whatdayamean .... it makes no sense.
What have all the pundits always said about Dr. Copper? It forecasts the status of the world economy.
What is the status of the world economy? Whose economy most impacts the demand for copper?
Answer ..... China.
What's happening to the China economy? Yeah ..... its better than most other world economies but has its growth rate slowed? You bet. Do you know why?
The expansion of the China economy (although still good) has impacted the demand for copper and other materials and that has therefor affected SCCO.
What's the answer for SCCO ........ simple, keep declaring dividends like we got in the 4th. quarter and SCCO will soar.
That last part was TIC.
Copper is in a downtrend due to a glut in supply. The current price may slide further to $2.50/lb by summer. When you hear of mines closing down, that will be the bottom.
I own SCCO and review the LME,COMEX & Shanghai inventories each week. Since Jan 2013 through last week inventories up 49.3%. Last night Gartman stated the high inventory levels. The inventory build needs to be addressed before Dr. Copper returns. You can review these inventory levels free on line. Just my farm boy opinion from watching inventories on corn, soybeans & wheat.

July 1, 2013 by Rob Newell
(Editor's note: This article originally appeared in the 2013 July issue of Bass Fishing magazine. To read more compelling articles from Bass Fishing magazine each month, become an FLW subscriber member. If you'd like to sign up for a digital subscription to access articles online, click here).
Call it a bayou, bog or pond. Call it a marsh, swamp or slough. No matter what you call it, there are thousands of acres of backwater wetlands connected to major lakes, rivers and reservoirs that hold shallow-water bass year-round.
Many of those backwaters can be hard to find and even harder to access, but once inside their confines, it can be like fishing a completely different place than the primary fishery it's attached to.
Several Walmart FLW Tour pros - John Cox, David Dudley and Ray Scheide among them - are backwater specialists who are well-versed in the game of finding, assessing and accessing slinky backwaters far off the beaten path. Their knowledge can help lead you to drainages that hardly ever get fished.
When and where
While most backwaters are readily identifiable on maps and easily accessible by boat, the backwaters these pros are most interested in are the ones that are not so obvious.
"Any body of water that fluctuates has backwaters," says Scheide, the 3M Scotch Tape and Peltor Brands pro who hails from Dover, Ark. "This is especially true of rivers and flood-control lakes. When the water comes up 3, 4 or even 10 feet, bass move back into oxbows, tributary creeks or adjoining lakes. When the water drops, bass can get trapped in those places. As long as there is enough water depth, food and spawning habitat for the bass to survive, it can produce a resident population of fish that gets very little pressure."
Scheide considers any backwater that has at least 5 feet of water in it at all times to be fair game, although he prefers areas with 8- to 10-foot depths. Temporary backwaters might be nothing more than the flooded confines of the back end of a small pocket, or they might be creek channels that snake back into a wooded area and only fill during heavy rains.
Cox, a Debary, Fla., resident, has made a fishing career out of being a marsh master. He says the premium time to play backwater blackjack is when lakes are extremely high or extremely low.
"It's pretty simple," Cox says. "High water creates opportunities to access new backwaters and ponds. And low water usually means that somewhere there is an area that's been `cut off' and has not been fished in awhile because people think you can't access it."
Cox has utilized both extremes for top tournament finishes. He is best known for pushing a little aluminum boat through a culvert on the Red River to access the backwater where he won a Walmart FLW Tour event in 2011. But he has also done well in events on the Mississippi River and Lake Okeechobee by accessing backwaters.
One particular Mississippi River event required Cox to idle through thick woods for 45 minutes to reach a pond "out in the middle of nowhere in the flood plains." And at Okeechobee, he once jumped a spoil bar to get back into a place no one had fished in years.
Another situation that often suggests seeking out backwaters is when a tournament is held on a tidal fishery. Dudley, a resident of tidewater Virginia, says he seldom seeks out a backwater plan on reservoirs, but it's a must on tidal fisheries.
Big surprises, small ponds
Backwaters are not always big ponds, oxbows or marshes. For Scheide, fishing backwaters means thinking small.
Burning across a flat, powering through a thick stand of willows and then poling over a gravel bar just to make a dozen casts to a swimming-pool-sized creek-channel bend is Scheide's style.
"I'm not saying I'm going to win a multiple-day tournament out of a place that size," Scheide says. "But give me a dozen places like that on a lake and I'll take my chances."
In fact, Scheide did win the Walmart FLW Tour Walmart Open on Beaver Lake in 2009 by visiting multiple backwaters per day. Beaver Lake had flooded some 7 feet higher than normal, and he essentially shoved his boat into the very back ends of drains, over logjams and into small flooded backwaters far back in the woods.
"I'd work for 30 minutes to get into a tiny pond of water and make a grand total of 10 flips," Scheide says. "But it was worth it. The better largemouths were way back in those places. I had about eight or nine places like that, and to me those are just as much of a backwater as anything else."
Follow the color change
Google Earth is the greatest asset for finding backwaters. The satellite images Google Earth provides are extraordinary, and it's safe to say most pros are utilizing the program's detailed bird's eye images extensively these days.
The primary use of Google Earth in the search for backwaters is to find major - and obvious - ponds or oxbows adjacent to the main body of water. There are other clues to look for, however, such as water-color changes that give away hidden drainage sources.
"Anytime you see a vein of different colored water seeping into the lake, no matter how small, that's a place to investigate," Scheide explains. "Chances are the reason the water is a different color is because it's coming from a different source - some kind of backwater up in the woods. And those little places can be hidden gems."
"That's true even if you're on the water and find a place where the water color is changing," Cox adds. "Some of the better backwaters I've found came from noticing slightly clearer water and then following it until I figured out where it was coming from."
Ground checking
Once a backwater area is located, the best way to investigate it is by getting out of the boat and exploring it on foot. Rules prohibit an angler from leaving a boat during tournament hours, but during practice it's standard operating procedure. All three pros admit that every productive backwater they've ever found was discovered through scouting on foot during practice. If it was private property, they first gained permission to walk it. On systems surrounded by public land, most areas are fair game for foot traffic.
"Getting out of the boat to check things out is a requirement in the backwater game," Cox says. "If you're afraid of snakes, gators, poison ivy, ticks or spiders, this might not be the gig for you."
"I call it Huckleberry Finn fishing," adds Dudley, the Castrol pro. "The first thing I do is walk the bank of the place I'm trying to get to with a rod and reel to see if it's even worth fooling with."
At the tour event he won on Beaver Lake, Scheide says he spent a lot of time with the boat beached on shore and walking in the woods during practice, mostly to avoid blazing a trail into the spot that others might notice. He followed each drainage back into the woods to see if it opened up and was worth entering during the tournament.
"Another thing you'll have to get used to is wading," Dudley adds. "When you're trying to figure out the best way to run across a big flat that's 8 inches deep, trust me, the safest, least expensive way to do it is to hop out of the boat, wade in and find the deepest places to run. Having some kind of stick to poke around with to find the deeper spots is a big help, too."
While wading, some pros will mark the small ditch leading through a flat with stakes to make sure they're utilizing the deepest water available for the run. Of course, running into a backwater from the main lake is usually not a problem. It's getting back out that can be a challenge if there is not enough water in the backwater to get on plane or to idle back out. This is especially true in tidal fisheries.
"When I hike in to check out a backwater, I'm interested in two things," Cox says. "One, does it have fish. Two, is there enough water to get on plane to get out. Usually, they are one and the same: If it's deep enough for fish, it's deep enough to get on plane. If it has both, then I'll start looking for the best way to access it."
Push come to shove
Once you've found a promising backwater, the next challenge is finding a way to get into it. Through the annals of FLW history, there have been tournament wins registered by anglers who have cut their way in with chainsaws (Dudley) or pulled their way in with winches (Cox). Those tactics are no longer legal in FLW rules (see Rules and Tools sidebar below).
Now, accessing backwaters is really a matter of good old-fashion horsepower and elbow grease. The primary underwater obstacles usually are sandbars, flats and silted-in channels that block passage into a backwater creek or slough. The most efficient way to get in is often to trim up and skid over the flats on plane - sometimes over mere inches of water. It's not the kind of thing a novice boater should attempt.
"It comes down to knowing the absolute limits of your boat and motor, right down to the very last yard of a sandbar your boat will make it over," Cox says. "That's why wading a super-shallow flat first is so critical. If you find one or two potholes that are just 5 or 6 inches deeper and can connect them on your run in, it could extend your run by 20 or 30 yards, making the difference between getting in or not."
Distance and bottom composition are the most important factors to consider before deciding to attempt a backwater entry. Pushing through silt is easy, say the pros, who insist it's no sweat to make it through a couple hundred yards of shallow, loose, silty bottom. But sand is a completely different animal. Hard sand will stop your boat firmly and leave you high and dry - figuratively speaking.
"Safety is a huge issue too," Scheide says. "I only blow over bars and flats in open areas that are a straight shot into the backwater. I don't risk it if there are high banks, logs, any kind of pilings or abutments, or tight turns along the path in. The bottom line is if you trim up too high and lose control of the boat in a hazardous area, you could be in big trouble."
As for accessing the smaller drains such as at Beaver, Scheide says that's more about slowly idling, pushing, and plowing through or over logjams, debris mats, bushes, or laydowns. It's more methodical, done by carefully planning out each move and progressing a little at a time, rather than using the moving boat's momentum to scoot through.
Just make sure there's enough room to turn around and power the boat back out of the area. In the end, you can access and fish as many backwater hot spots as you can find, but if you get stuck in the final spot and miss weigh-in, all that hard work will be for naught.
Rules and tools
In 2002, Castrol pro David Dudley won the Ranger M1 Millennium tournament on the Mobile Delta by using chainsaws to cut his way into an oxbow off the Tombigbee River that was blocked by huge fallen trees. It's a tactic to access backwaters that's no longer legal under FLW rules. The clause outlawing it states:
The cutting of trees, bushes and/or logs after the off-limits date and/or the removal of official local, state or federal barricades at any time to make an area more accessible by boat is strictly prohibited and may result in disqualification from the tournament. The use of cables, ropes, chains or any type of block and tackle system to maneuver a boat into fishing waters is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification from the tournament.
For many years the standard arsenal of tools among the backwater crowd included various saws, clippers, ropes and pull straps.
"Now we're just down to a push pole and a spare prop," 3M Scotch Tape and Peltor Brands pro Ray Scheide says. "If you're running a lot of backwaters at a tournament, I would advise using a `beater' prop that already has plenty of gashes and dings in it. The one I have is a little smaller in pitch, too, to help with getting up and planing out faster. When running backwaters, I'll sacrifice speed for faster planing."
Walmart FLW Tour pro John Cox says the ultimate tool in backwater exploration is a small aluminum boat.
"Something in the 16- to 17-foot range with a 50- to 75-hp engine is perfect," Cox says. "If you run aground, it pushes right off, it poles in inches of water, and there's no gel coat to get damaged by rocky shoals. That size boat is perfect for skirting around in shallow water and poking back into hard-to-reach places."
Though such small boats are still legal in Walmart Bass Fishing League and EverStart Series competition, they are no longer legal in Walmart FLW Tour competition, where minimum size requirements are 18 feet in length for the boat and 150 hp for the motor.
Cox uses a smaller boat for practice to make getting around easier and far less costly should a few groundings, dings and scratches occur.
"When you're scouting backwaters and running around in a foot or 2 of water all day, a small aluminum boat is far more efficient," Cox says. "If you do find something good, then you can bring the big boat to see if you can get in there with it."
Sweat equity swamp
Finding and accessing backwaters can be quite an adventure, but what about the fishing?
Ironically, often the least emphasized aspect of the backwater game is catching bass. Backwaters are a sweat equity affair - all the hard work is done up front. The fishing is the easy part and usually boils down to basic shallow-water tactics such as flipping and spinnerbaiting.
"That's the whole goal of working hard to get in an area like that," Cox says. "The fish have not been pressured. They're usually set up on the most obvious stuff and will eat just about anything. And the deepest you're fishing is maybe 7 or 8 feet. So you don't have to fool with 15 rods and piles of tackle. I usually have a couple flipping sticks, a spinnerbait and maybe a [Z-Man Original] ChatterBait - that's it."
"When I won Beaver, I spent most of the week with just two or three flipping sticks on the deck," adds Scheide. "So many times in backwaters, it's tight-quarters fishing, and that narrows your options quite a bit. In fact, when fishing that way, it helps to take a lot of your tackle out of the boat to lighten it up as much as possible and get it out of the way. When backwater fishing, you want a lighter boat, not a lot of tackle."

An attorney for Britney Spears has rejected a plea offer that would have placed her on a year's probation and forced her to pay a $150 fine in her misdemeanor driver's license case.
Attorney J. Michael Flanagan says Spears would consider an offer that reduces the charge to an infraction and requires her to pay a $10 fine. He says if the case does go to trial as scheduled later this month, he will appeal any conviction.
He says the 26-year-old singer is being unfairly targeted because she is a celebrity and doesn't deserve a blemish on her criminal record.
The charge is the last remnants of a criminal case that city prosecutors lodged against Spears after she hit a parked car in August 2007 and left without notifying the owner.

Most children who develop glomerular disease have a favorable prognosis with complete resolution of all signs and symptoms. Yet the long-term sequelae of resolved childhood glomerular disease are incompletely understood. We assessed whether a medical history of resolved childhood glomerular disease confers a future risk for hypertension.
We conducted a cohort study of young healthy men seen in the Israel Defense Forces Medical Corps Staff Periodic Examination Center (SPEC)1 where periodic examinations of career military personnel are conducted. All men had a baseline evaluation conducted prior to recruitment at age 17 years1,2 during which the diagnosis of resolved childhood glomerular disease was determined. This included childhood acute glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome (Table 1; diagnostic criteria appear in footnote b). We excluded men with baseline diagnoses of unresolved childhood glomerular disease, hypertension, diabetes, active rheumatic diseases, or any other kidney or urinary tract disorders (n = 959).
Participants were followed up from the time of medical assessment during adolescence (1970-1997) through the SPEC visits (1994-2010) until the diagnosis of hypertension (systolic >140 mm Hg or diastolic >90 mm Hg), retirement from service, or December 31, 2010, whichever came first. The definition of hypertension (Table 2; see footnote a) was based on standard protocols as previously described.1
Associations were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. A second set of analyses counted time from first SPEC visit and excluded diagnoses made before or on the first visit when dates of diagnoses might be inaccurate. Similar analyses were conducted using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation; levels below 60 and 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 were used as outcomes.
All analyses were conducted using SPSS software version 21.0 (SPSS Inc). Two-sided P values of less than .05 were considered statistically significant. The Israel Defense Forces review board approved the study and waived the requirement for informed consent.
The study included 38 144 male career personnel, of whom 264 were diagnosed with a medical history of resolved childhood glomerular disease (Table 1). During a mean follow-up of 18 years (mean [SD] age, 35.8 [7.05] years), 2856 participants developed hypertension; 13.6% (n = 36) of participants with a medical history of resolved childhood glomerular disease and 7.4% (n = 2820) of those without such history, yielding a crude hazard ratio (HR) of 1.63 (95% CI, 1.17-2.26) and an HR adjusted for age and body mass index of 1.67 (95% CI, 1.20-2.31). Excluding those diagnosed before the first SPEC visit had a negligible effect on these HR estimates (Table 2).
Creatinine values were available for 76% of the cohort. During follow-up, 2.0% (n = 4) of those with a medical history of resolved childhood glomerular disease and 1.1% (n = 308) of those without such a history had an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, yielding an age-adjusted HR of 1.53 (95% CI, 0.57-4.10). Thirteen percent of those with and 10.4% of those without a history of glomerular disease had an eGFR below 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 (age-adjusted HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.70-1.51).
In this study, resolved childhood glomerular disease was associated with subsequent risk of hypertension in a cohort of young healthy adult men. In addition to the selected cohort, the limitations include lack of information on the exact glomerular histopathologic injury during childhood. Nevertheless, all glomerular conditions were clinically resolved and, by the age of 17 years, participants were free of symptoms and signs for at least 2 years. The interpretation is also limited by the young age of the study population at the end of follow-up.
The 2 most common resolved childhood glomerular diseases are acute glomerulonephritis and steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. Previous large case series3- 6 showed excellent long-term prognoses for children with these conditions. In agreement with our findings, 3.5% to 21.1% of patients with glomerulonephritis3,4 and 2.6% with nephrotic syndrome5 have been reported to develop either persistent urinary abnormalities or hypertension.
Our results suggest that glomerular disease during childhood may represent a continuum of kidney injury that begins well before sufficient loss of excretory kidney function can be measured with standard laboratory tests, such that the first manifestation may be adult hypertension.

The capital gains from trade are not enough: Evidence from the environmental accounts of Venezuela and Mexico
In principle, a country can not endure negative genuine savings for long periods of time without experiencing declining consumption. Nevertheless, theoreticians envisage two alternatives to explain how an exporter of non-renewable natural resources could experience permanent negative genuine savings and still ensure sustainability. The first one alleges that the capital gains arising from the expected improvement in the terms of trade would suffice to compensate for the negative savings of the resource exporter. The second alternative points at technological change as a way to avoid economic collapse. This paper uses the data of Venezuela and Mexico to empirically test the first of these two hypotheses. The results presented here prove that the terms of trade do not suffice to compensate the depletion of oil reserves in these two open economies.

Usually a bar or restaurant, but any sort of establishment with "regulars" that all know each other and are afraid of strangers or new faces, that acts as a support group for the untalented and unfortunate people of the world who have been unsuccessful at their lives. This self-contained environment allows only positive feedback and therefore is intentionally oblivious to the real world and its harsh judgment. The denizens of this world are the "trout" that have been caught by the harsh realities of life and are farmed in a safe environment where no one can harm them. Karaoke bars and Independent Coffee Shops are frequently Trout Farms.

Nature Notes: 6/27/12 aka 6/22 (steinfels calendar!)
A bumper crop of fire flies. Also of ferns. Any connection? Spring flowers profuse in April. Just last week the mountain laurel were all over the place and are now fading while the elderberry are flowering.Looking back, I see that I was reporting fire flies in May last year. Wasn't here in May this year, so no comparisons but this year!!! Very glitzy.

In the West, everything early early.Drought continues, but local fruit trees (well tended) producing lots -I don't want to see another cherry pie or cobbler this year!
Is Margaret clairvoyant? June 27 hasn't arrived yet.
Not the fireworks we had last year; I think the fireflies hatched early for Michigan due to hot weather. So, don't know if we'll have a profusion at the end of June/early July as usual, or a longer, less spectacular season. I can see a few winking at me right now. It's twilight, and they're in the lavender. Very pretty.I have a wren and a woodpecker, at least two rival crow families and some incredibly obnoxious blue jays. Am feeding a stray cat. Beautiful black male who's got some notches in his ears and needs to be neutered, vaccinated, etc. I call him Edgar because Raber has said "nevermore" to more than two cats at a time. Raber, however, can be worn down over time with quantities of fresh pesto and sweet Italian sausage.
Two tiny baby deer out the back window early this morning. The wonder of seeing the delicate pattern of dots on the babies is overwhelming the loss of some of our plants. Chipmunks have overrun the our yards and a pair have sublet a room under our porch to a woodchuck. I don't mind the chipmunks - unlike the mice, they never come in the house. The woodchuck scares me a bit.Lots of fireflies - They looked like satellites streaking across the sky at our observing night.

House of Blues Orlando, The performance of Gilbert, Pertrucci, and Satch was absolutley fantastic! Of course Joe was by far the best musician onstage Friday night. Although HOB has great "acoustics" and was built specifically for smaller venues I have to rate the overall experience at the House of Blues a mediocre 6. Unless you are a VIP or want to stand on the floor in front of the stage all night the viewing of the concert absolutley SUCKS! There are these huge freaking columns blocking the view of the stage. We did the "pass the line" thing... basically you buy stuff from the HOB store or eat in the restaurant and you supposedly get ahead of the line. However, everyone else is doing the same thing and you stand in another line for a chance to get in early so you can grap a stool. My wife and I had a wonderful evening and as I said we enjoyed the music... but you kinda walk away feeling cheated when you spend that kind of cash to "see" an act in person, and have obstructed views of the stage. HEY JOE THE BOB CARR HAS UNOBSTUCTED VIEWS!

Well our trip stated off with me and my buddies leaving a bit late, and we got to HOB a little bit late and couldn't eat there and get pass the line because it was about a 70 minute wait, so we went over to Wolfgang Pucks and got express food got in line a 6:30 wow I have never seen a line so big in my life.
When we got in we just went upstairs to the upper deck and hung around got some food and drinks
Then Paul Gilbert started off the place went crazy, Rusty Old Boat was very catchy and everyone was groving to it.
Then John Petrucci came out i'm not really a big fan but it was still pretty decent.
Next Satch would be coming, so me and my friends worked our way into the floor level to get right there, Satch started off with War and the setlist was as follows War, One Big Rush, Flying In a Blue Dream, Cool #9, Super Colossal, Satch Boogie, Circles, Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, Surfing With the Alien, and Always With Me, Always with You
into the G3 Jam which was killer loudest jam i've ever heard it was so good though and to top it off at the end of the jam when Jeff threw his drum sticks somehow I caught one and I wasn't even trying for it.

As expected, the show was excellent! I must say, Paul and John surpassed my expectations. And as for the sound (as some others have commented on), it was dead on. EVERYONE had perfect volume in the mix...even the keys in Paul's band (is that his wife?). The House of Blues in Orlando is an incredible place to see a concert...especially one of this caliber.
We were treated to an impromptu mini drum and bass solo during John's set due to tech difficulties on his guitar and board...so Mike Portnoy and Dave LaRue picked up the slack! Definitely a little bonus treat there! You gotta wonder if they tell Mike backstage not to go too crazy as to not steal from the show!!! John's music is just as good as the others, but his stage presence is, ummm, a bit less than the others. But its not really a problem since he has one of the greatest drummers in the world behind him flinging sticks, smashing cymbals, throwing in rolls and fills, and god knows what else behind his plexi-glass drum set!
Paul Gilbert was really great too...actually inspired me to go grab his latest CD. He played the song "Rusty Boat" which really got me hooked. In my opinion, Paul BELONGS on stage at a concert like this not only for his skill, but his presence. Laughing, talking, throwing in mannerisms here and there...he's fun to watch!
Then there's Joe...what can you say?!?! The ONLY thing I could have wanted more of from the show is his set. It almost seemed shorter than the other guys!
The jam was a lot of fun. EVERYONE on stage was perfectly mixed...and the sound guys did a great job of bringing whoever was leading up in volume.
Excellent show! Now I just need to get this knot rubbed out of my back from standing for 4 hours!!!!

Gold Stars and Second-Class Death
My wife and I are Gold Star survivors ("When Survivors Feel Slighted, Not Honored," U.S. News, Jan. 7) who suffered the loss of a son in the Marine Corps. We received, in those first days of grief, two gold-plated stars, approximately one-half inch in diameter, as a representation of his military service and our new, unfortunate status.
Our son, Cpl. Jonathan Cohen, served as a Marine scout/sniper in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was assigned to Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, which battled its way across "Ambush Alley" in Nasiriyah to capture the bridge over the Saddam Hussein Canal. He was killed in 2005, age 23, as a member of 2nd Force Recon in a training accident at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
I was previously unaware of the various levels of Gold Stars, but this information hardly comes as a surprise. When politicians refer to American heroes killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, he is not included. When media recount the histories and flash the faces of the fallen, he is not included. His name will not appear on any war memorial; his was a second-class death.

The military uses pins, ribbons and medals to distinguish what has happened—i.e., meritorious action in combat is recognized with a different award than meritorious action in garrison. The decorations tell a story. These parents don't want next-of-kin pins to tell different stories, and they want to dispense with the recognition that a combat death is a special kind of sacrifice.
Combat service differs from other service. No one's life is being held less valuable by the military making that distinction.

Wi-fi sometimes does not work very well.
IT support are always available to help answer questions and fix technical issues. There are computer labs in at least two of the six academic buildings, plus the "quiet" room in library which supplies a lab as well.
The wifi stinks! It works sometimes... but it never works when I need to submit assignments online.
Computer labs are widely available. Wi-Fi is a hassle. Bring an Ethernet cord.
They have a few labs stationed around campus, you receive 500 free prints, there is a IT support group on campus that will help you fix wireless issues, etc. and fix computer issues within their abilities, because of the amount of students on campus its better to use an ethernet cord than wireless

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students bring their own laptops and printers to campus. However, Berry does have approximately 10 computer labs on campus, two being Mac computer labs. Printing is free, despite what some may tell you; IT is now tracking the number of pages each student prints, but there is no current limit. Labs are hardly ever crowded, and they are all simple to use. Lab assistants are helpful for basic problems, and the Berry Information Technology Students (BITS) can walk you step by step through common computer problems, or you can bring your computer to their office to see if they can fix it. And they do charge—it's upwards of $25 per hour, but there is a Staples near campus that may give you a better deal.
Berry's wireless is decent most of the time, but tends to have the most problems during peak hours. To avoid this problem, make sure you bring an Ethernet cord; all dorm rooms are equipped with an outlet. An Ethernet chord is the most reliable connection at Berry.

I've shot a lot of video with "still" cameras over the years, and a lot of it is encoded with Motion-JPEG, which uses a lot of disk space per minute of video, compared to more efficient codecs such as H.264 or AVCHD, etc.
I'm not asking about the actual conversion, I know I could figure that out with ffmpeg or something like that. What I'm concerned about is converting the files but keeping them in-place in my iPhoto library, with all metadata intact. And even if there's a way to do so manually, that'd take way too much time — I need a way to automatically transcode Motion-JPEG videos "in place" without losing metadata.

Genre: All-Sex
Head Hunter is a video that can't decide what it wants to be when it grows up. Parts of it play like a gonzo series, with people addressing the camera, and a single cameraman getting all the footage. Other parts play like a feature, with something akin to a plot, and more classic editing. Whatever the original goal was, one thing about this tape is very clear: This video is for oral sex fans, period. If you like your porn to have no fucking whatsoever, this is your feature. In fact, dildos are the only things that penetrate the girls in this vid at all. For blowjob fans, that makes this tape a real keeper. For everyone else, it probably knocks a point or two off the approval rating.

The pair step on the scales on Friday at the London Piazza area of the stunning venue.
IBF champion Froch took to Twitter Thursday to apologise about comments made to the media, in which he said he'd 'kill' and 'nut' Mikkel Kessler if he had to.
Froch posted: "I'm sorry if my comments yesterday offended anyone. This fight means so much to me & emotions are running high. See you at the weigh-in."
Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn said: "When you have trained for 13 weeks, three times a day, and you have sacrificed time away from your family, and even missed the first few days of your child's life, It's a lot of sacrifices.
"I think they were taken a little bit out of context, but he definitely shouldn't have said them.
"Overnight, a switch has just gone with Carl Froch. He's ready. He's not the nicest person to be around at the moment."
Speaking about any possible disciplinary action by the BBBoC, Hearn said: "Carl's got a great track record. He's a model pro. Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure Robert Smith, being an ex-fighter himself, knows the pressures of fight week, especially at an event this big - so no big deal."
Kessler won the coin toss and will walk to the ring second for the fight, but Froch prefers it this way. He said:
"I'm glad Kessler will walk first. I can get into the Arena, soak up the atmosphere from the biggest crowd either of us has performed in front of and he'll be back stage listening to the Froch Army in full voice.
"I wouldn't want to have to walk into that with my opponent standing there, soaking it up and feeling ten feet tall and invincible."
Former super-middleweight boss Joe Calzaghe, one of only two men to beat Kessler, expects a Froch victory.
He said: "The guy who wants revenge has always got that little bit extra to try and prove themselves."

2015 FEHB Open Season Dates Announced by OPM
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) officially announced the dates for the 2015 FEHB Open Season which will run from Monday, November 9, 2015 through Monday, December 14, 2015.
Self Plus One for FEHB
As a result of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Self Plus One enrollment will be available beginning in January 2016. The first opportunity to enroll in Self Plus One will be during the FEHB open season.
OPM stated additional guidance on the new Self Plus One enrollment type will be forthcoming.
During the annual open season, employees can take the actions listed below for the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS), Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), and the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program.
- Enroll in a flexible spending account – a health care and/or dependent care account, under the FSAFEDS Program. Unlike with other programs, employees MUST reenroll in FSAFEDS each year to participate. Enrollments DO NOT automatically continue from year to year.
- Carryover has been adopted for health care and limited expense health care FSAs. Participants that have enrolled in one of these FSAs in 2015 will be able to bring up to $500 of unspent funds from 2015 into 2016. Participants must re-enroll for the 2016 Benefit Period to be eligible for carryover. Remember, there is no longer a grace period for these two accounts.
- The maximum annual election for a Health Care Flexible Spending Account and the Limited Expense Health Care Flexible Spending Account is $2,550 for the 2016 Benefit Period.
- The minimum election for the flexible spending accounts is $100 for the 2016 Benefit Period.
The maximum annual election for a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account is $5,000 for the 2016 Benefit Period. There is no carryover for this account, but there is still a grace period.
- Enroll in, change, or cancel an existing enrollment in a dental plan under the FEDVIP Program.
- Enroll in, change, or cancel an existing enrollment in a vision plan under the FEDVIP Program.
- Enroll in, change, or cancel an existing enrollment in a health plan under the FEHB Program.
2016 FEHB and FEDVIP Premium Rates
OPM will post FEHB and FEDVIP premium rates for 2016 in early October. Participants will find specific federal benefits open season information -- including 2016 FEHB health plan brochures -- on on its website, http://www.opm.gov/insure, by the first week in November.

Director: Jeff Coldwater
Company: Odyssey Group Video

Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Stock as filler within a Latin section.
Wet Kittens is another of those self-reflective porns about making porn. Kevin M. aspires to direct music videos, but has to make one final opus for porn kingpin Claudio. He's hesitant already, but the idea that he needs to deal with the "diva" Becca de la Puta (played by Rebecca Bardoux) makes it more of a trial.
So there's the plot. Unfortunately, the sex-to-development ratio leans towards the latter. There's still some fine fucking. The second scene between Brandi and Claudio is genuinely hot, once they hit their stride. Even better is Lorenza's beautiful bouncing breasts as she rides Rick Masters. She really knows how sexy her Latin love-sacks are, shaking 'em up and down as Masters bangs her box from behind. Her titties end up covered in cum.
The one threeway of Kittens, while offering fairly mechanical sex, dishes out some fair head, especially as Silvia Lopez and Blanca lap the cum - all too briefly - from each other's tongues.
Ultimately, there's just not enough hot sex for a feature and the production values could be bumped up a notch.

You collect a lot of memories over a lifetime. Here is the place to keep them.
First there was "To Our Children's Children: Preserving Family Histories for Generations to Come." A collection of over one thousand evocative questions, the book offered a very personal, human approach to genealogy, awakening readers to the possibility of creating a family history through the simple act of remembering.
From this book, hundreds of thousands of individuals have learned the value of passing on family treasures made of words. However, readers kept asking Bob Greene and D.G. Fulford for a version of the book with room to record the answers.
The "To Our Children's Children Journal" is just that: a handy and beautiful journal posing 365 questions (one for each day of the year), with ample space for families to write their own answers. Approachable, enjoyable, and thought-provoking, the "Journal" is a pleasure to read and to ponder--something that, once completed, will become a lasting part of any family's history, to be put on the bookshelf and treasured for generations to come.
About the Author
Bob Greene is an award-winning journalist and a "New York Times" bestselling author whose books include "Once Upon a Town" and "Duty," He has been the lead columnist for" Life" and "Esquire," a contributing correspondent for ABC News" Nightline" and a syndicated columnist for both the" Chicago Sun-Times "and the" Chicago Tribune," Readers may write to him in care of firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lack of Bids for Darksiders Dev Vigil Games "a Travesty," Says THQ President
Written Friday, January 25, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
THQ President Jason Rubin has called the lack of bids for Darksiders developer Vigil Games "a travesty."
Rubin said that despite a "herculean effort," the publisher was not able to generate any interest from buyers at its recent auction, something he believes may have been down to the fact that Vigil was so far from releasing its next game, Crawler.
"Having just finished a product, Vigil was farthest from release of their next game, and we were not able to garner any interest from buyers, despite a herculean effort," said Rubin.
"Additionally, they were working on a new IP, which meant even more risk for a buyer."
"The best example of this is Vigil's title, codenamed Crawler," he added. "When the teams got together recently to show each other their titles, Crawler dropped the most jaws. It is a fantastic idea, and truly unique. The fact that nobody bid for the team and title is a travesty. It makes no sense to me.
"If I weren't barred from bidding as an insider, I would have been there with my chequebook. I'm sure that's little consolation to the team, but that's a fact."
Vigil Games lead combat designer Ben Cureton also made reference to Crawler, in his much published open letter to fans.
"I knew, without a shadow of the doubt, that the project we were working on (Codenamed: Crawler) was going to blow people away," he wrote.
"In fact, it DID blow people away. We did, in TWO months, what many companies haven't done in a year. The pride of knowing that no one was doing anything like us was so satisfying, it kept us coming to work and giving 100% every single day, even through the dark times."

Gingrich Bashes Health Care Reform In The Same Breath That He Laments Deaths From Coal
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich went on NBC's Today Show this morning to talk about health care and politics, but before doing so, he took a moment to praise the network's coverage of the mining disaster in West Virginia and asked Americans to pray for the victims' families. He said it was tough to go from that story to talking about politics…but he nevertheless managed to immediately begin attacking the health care bill without skipping a beat:
GINGRICH: Well, let me just — if I could — take 10 seconds to say I really was touched by your coverage just now of West Virginia, and I really hope every American will take their governor's request seriously and pray for those families. You did a tremendous job this morning, and I found it very touching.
I think on politics — and it's hard to shift, frankly, from that story to politics — First of all, this is a really bad bill. The more we learn about it, the worse it is. You say to the average American, do you really want to have 16,000 more IRS agents as a brand new health police? They're going to say no.
Watch it:
While Gingrich's messages are often inaccurate and misleading, his latest rhetoric is especially unfortunate on a day highlighting the dangers of coal.
Coal mining remains one of the most dangerous professions, but not only because of tragic disasters like the one at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine yesterday, where 25 people died and four remain missing:
— The American Lung Association reports that there are 24,000 premature deaths every year due to coal power plant pollution. In addition, ALA estimates that coal pollution causes over 550,000 asthma attacks, 38,000 heart attacks and 12,000 hospital admissions.
— A report by Physicians for Social Responsibility found that coal combustion releases mercury, particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and dozens of other substances known to be hazardous to human health. These coal pollutants are associated with increased congestive heart failure, lung cancer, infant mortality, stunted lung development, and Ischemic stroke, among other diseases.
Nineteen percent of West Virginians lacked health insurance in 2009, underscoring why making health care coverage for all Americans — even those who have pre-existing conditions from working in dangerous jobs or living in environmentally unsafe areas — is so essential. Nevertheless, the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, which is largely backed by the coal industry, aggressively fought against health care reform.
Chris Bowers writes, "What is perhaps more shocking is that 29 workers dying on the job in one day is actually only about twice the daily average in America, and that about 50 coal miners in China die on the job every week."
,Matt Yglesias has more sobering data on the health impacts of the coal industry.

Tuition is crazy high but you get some of the best materials with it. I had to take out a huge student loan but am barley even going to school because of how they scheduled me
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I only wish I could make payments prior to school starts
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The tuition at these private art schools has gotten completely out of control. Unfortunately they are non transparent with their financial records so I am inclined to think that we are paying for someone's yacht somewhere. Anyway when they sign you up for school they calm you down (from the sticker shock) by telling you how easy it is to secure tons of money from in house scholarships and though I have a high GPA, strong portfolio, and mountain of recommendation letters it has been a serious struggle to get even partial awards. To top that off no one can explain what the awarding process really entails and every has the, "It's out of my hands," excuse. Not impressed.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
It is ok. I think as a whole school cost way to much to attend and it is extremely hard to get financial help.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The financial aid advisors are excellent and they do their absolute best to help with any and everything they can. The costs of tuition for this school on the other hand is extremely high and it is very difficult to pay for everything in order to continue attending, which is why I am applying for as many scholarships as I can. I definitely need help paying for my education at this school.
