Location File:Jubilife City.png Location of Jubilife City in Sinnoh. |
Jubilife City (Japanese: コトブキシティ Kotobuki City) is a city in the region of Sinnoh. The entire city is built on land carved out of a mountain by the residents of neighboring Oreburgh City. Jubilife is the most modernized city in the region, and according to the anime, the largest city in Sinnoh. It is the sixth largest city in the Pokémon world. The city can be accessed from all four directions, with a gate occupying the west entrance.
There are many distinctive buildings in Jubilife City, including the TV station, where Mystery Gift can be activated, the Pokétch Company, the Trainers' School, and one of the most important establishments in the game, the Global Trade Station, which allows players to trade Pokémon with anyone across the entire world.
Places of interest
Jubilife TV
- Main article: Jubilife TV
The Jubilife TV station is a noticeable big, white and cube-shaped building located in the northern section of the city. A Pokétch campaign Clown blocks the main doors until the player defeats the Galactic Grunts at the north end of the city; this event happens upon returning from Oreburgh City with the Coal Badge.
Inside the building, the Jubilife TV station is home to the Pokémon Lottery Corner. In Diamond and Pearl, a Trainer also appears in the lobby and can be fought once a day, depending on the current day of the week. On the second floor, Trainers can dress up their Pokémon using their Accessories. On the third floor, players can see various rankings set by those they have mixed records with. Additionally, a man on the third floor allows the player to activate Mystery Gift.
A man standing outside the TV station will give the player the option to form a group. By mixing records with other players, a player is allowed to join any group of which their friend is a member, upon speaking with the man again.
Global Trade Station / Global Terminal
- Main article: Global Terminal
The Global Trade Station is located in the southwestern section of the city. Within the building, players have the opportunity to trade Pokémon with other players around the world. In order to access the GTS, the player must have the Coal Badge.
Inside, there is a large globe, called Geonet, on which players can indicate their location, and on which small dots representing players they have traded with will appear. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct him or her into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade. Pokémon searches, after being confined to one species that has been seen by the player, can be further narrowed down to level and gender of the Pokémon available. By level, players can search for and request Pokémon level 9 and under, level 10 and up, level 20 and up, and so on to level 100, or they can search for Pokémon of any level. Gender is similar, with the player being able to search for male, female, or either gender of the selected Pokémon. Pokémon offerings are similarly governed, as the requested Pokémon in return cannot be any Pokémon that the player has not seen. Unfortunately, Pokémon that are offered cannot be bargained, as the player has to choose one Pokémon he or she wants for it, instead of having a more flexible list.
In Pokémon Platinum, the GTS has been redesigned to be larger and contain more features. It is located in the same place as the older GTS, in Jubilife City, with its name changed to the Global Terminal. One addition is a woman who gives away a random Backdrop daily, rather than initially winning them in the daily lottery. Other than the regular trading feature, there is a new feature where players may exchange Pokémon with another friend. The Global Terminal is apparently a computer-like machine which the player operates. The Vs. Recorder, also introduced in Pokémon Platinum, has the ability to record and replay battles made in-game. A player may send and receive battles over Nintendo Wi-Fi using the Global Station. These battles can also be ranked by popularity and be watched by people on Wi-Fi. In addition, players can take pictures of their PC storage boxes and send them over Wi-Fi to friends. The GTS has incorporated an e-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. The notification messages are sent to the player's actual e-mail address, and so the messages can be viewed either on a PC, mobile phone or a Wii console. In this way, the player will be spared of having to return to the GTS only to find that a trade has not yet been completed.
Pokétch Company
- Main article: Pokétch Company
The Pokétch Company's headquarters is located in the northwestern section of the city. The Pokétch Company is a family-owned company, and the manufacturer of the Pokétch. It is relatively small, unlike Silph Co. or the Devon Corporation, and actually started as a hobby of the owner, who made what he liked before the business grew to its present state. The building has three floors, in which the family of the president of the company reside in. The president holds a promotion to receive a free Pokétch in Jubilife City, if three clowns with Pokémon trivia questions can be found, and coupons collected from each. He will also give new Pokétch applications out to the player.
Trainers' School
- Main article: Trainers' School
The Trainers' School is located in the center of the city, west of the Pokémon Center. The School features tutorials on how to raise Pokémon. There are two adjoined rooms in the School. The kids on the left room have some basic information about the game of Pokémon. On the table is a notebook with notes on Trainers written inside. Status ailments and their effects are listed on the chalkboard at the back. In the room on the right, there are two School Kids on a blue carpet who will ask the player to battle. There is a version-dependent reward for defeating them both. If the School Kids inside are defeated, they hand out TM10 (Hidden Power) on Diamond and Pearl, or a Potion on Platinum.
On the player's first visit to the School, their rival is situated at the back of the room, reading the chalkboard. Upon talking to the rival, the player will deliver the Parcel entrusted to them by the rival's mother back in Twinleaf Town. Two Town Maps are found inside the Parcel, and the rival will give the player one.
Jubilife Condominiums
Jubilife Condominiums is located in the northeastern section of the city. The building has two floors. On the ground floor, an old lady says how fetching a Pokétch is, and the young girl with a Pachirisu and Pikachu gives the player a Quick Claw. On the second floor, a girl tells about the advantage of Heal Balls and the guy in Bug Catcher apparel lectures on new moves. This floor is an educational one for new Trainers.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
The population is 87, making it one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world and the second biggest in Sinnoh.
Pokémon Platinum
The population is 124, making it fourth largest city in the Pokémon world and the biggest in Sinnoh. The reason for such dramatic increase from Diamond and Pearl is the expansion of the Global Trade Station to the Global Terminal.

There is one battle in the streets of Jubilife itself: a Double Battle against two Galactic Grunts. It is fought alongside the other protagonist (Dawn/Lucas), who is there on business with Professor Rowan. Upon defeating them, a worker for Jubilife TV gives the player the Fashion Case, and the TV building is thereafter accessible.

RC Heli - Indoor Racing Review
- Leaderboard and highscore options available.
- iPod compatibility during play is always good.
- The game has some potential that patient players may find.
- The jerky graphics are quite ugly.
- Controls have a steep learning curve and are hard to use.
- The game consists of the same indoor level for each track.
RC Heli is a harsh game to play. There are some good elements in here, but until some of the main issues are addressed, this game is not worth the current price.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
RC Heli is a racing game where players take control of an RC helicopter and fly around a series of tracks inside of a house. Players must navigate the different rooms and collect the various gold coins scattered around the house in order complete the race.
Players control their RC helicopter by using two levers in the bottom corners of the screen. The left lever moves the helicopter up and down, while the right lever rotates the helicopter side to side and also changes the incline of the helicopter. All three controls must be used together in order to control your helicopter and make your way through the race tracks.
The 3D visuals are quite clunky and not at all pleasing to look at. The game is limited to sound effects only, but players can use their iPod during gameplay. The game is single player only, but players can choose between two single player modes; race and free flight. Free flight is a causal explore mode and has no real objectives. But race mode has players zipping around the house for the quickest lap time, which can be submitted to the global leaderboards post race.
Ultimately, RC Heli is a title has some potential but isn't there quite there yet. The choppy visuals and difficult controls scheme holds the game back and makes it a hassle to play. This game seems like it needs some work and a few more updates, but if these issues are addressed, then there's hope for RC Heli after all.

Also, here in Cali the highest rated fuel we have is 91 (out of 87 - 89 - 91), so what if I had my tuner tune me to 91 gas? How much difference would that make?
Wouldn't matter what 4 cyl you had, it takes money to make power and speed. They were never meant (at least us models) to be speed deamons without alot of work and money. And you being in cali raises other problems such as emissions and inspections. Get tiring after awhile taking parts off and putting them back on every time the car was up for inspection or you got sent to a ref.
A tune on 91 would help some since the timing could be raised a bit but on a stock car dont think it would give you a seat of the pants difference in feel, a little but nothing much. a cai and dyno tune to start would be your best dollar per grin factor experience. let it breath easier before doing anything else.

For those of you unfamiliar with The Elf On The Shelf, this excerpt is taken from the Barnes & Noble description: A Christmas Tradition is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.
Each Tradition-in-a-Box comes with its very own scout elf, a hardbound children's book and a keepsake box for easy storage. In addition, each shipment is marked for "Special Delivery" from Santa's workshop.
I am going to give away one of these boxed sets on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th at 8pm. That way, you'll know if you need to hunt one down on Black Friday or not. Also, I'll be shipping it out Friday morning via Priority Mail, so you have plenty of time to play the game!
This is my way of saying thank you to YOU for being such a valued reader. You may enter HERE and share your favorite holiday memory if you wish. That is optional. Do not e-mail me your entry or post on Facebook. Neither count. This giveaway is only valid for residents of the continental US only. Good luck!

whisk' egg yolk separator by ivan zhang

in 'whisk' by chinese designer ivan zhang, the kitchenware accessory maintains the original function of a whisk – integrating a void within the tip for easily separating the egg yolk for efficient cooking and stirring. the concept implements an irregular shaped handle with three ergonomic advantages; keeping it from rolling on the counter and bowl, and significantly keeping a users hands clean by providing a cracking surface when placed up-right.

Brilliant !
I love this stuff!
Absolutely nice! Good looking & practical!
well, looks like a great idea. But can all of you crack an egg open with one hand? Lying it down on the counter would result in a mess? it works, but is it truly practical? i didnt realise it was this impractical till i ask my mother what she thought, and i think her points are very valid, wouldn't you agree?
i know they image suggests balancing it in a bowl.. but what if you're using a bigger bowl, or one too small, or one where it doesn't balance? just a thought to see if you had one at home right now, and you were alone, would it be that much easier?

General Inspection's redesigned Gi-100DT features a dial table-style glass top designed to promote workpiece stability enabling improved image analysis, data capturing and precision. The inspection machine is primarily intended for sorting flat workpieces that have more than a 2:1 length to diameter ratio such as nuts, valve spring retainers, rivets, bushings and washers. According to the company, the machine is capable of achieving speeds ranging to 1,000 parts per minute, though most parts average about 400 parts per minute.
Multiple sensors can be added to the machine, including eddy current, laser topography and multiple vision stations with the company's specialty lenses. The eddy current station ensures that the operator checks for metallurgical defects such as cracks, missing plating or hardness variations. The laser topography station shows a 3D profile of the workpieces and can measure diameters and heights, as well as detect defects such as chips, dents and flatness. Vision stations can be added to detect defects like chips in the ID, nylon ring presence, chips in grooves, cracks, missing crimp, missing or damaged internal threads on deep threaded holes, missing or damaged weld projections.

Cheers for the releases man! Much apreciated.
I seem to always get a black screen and my system locks up when attempting to start a race in Wipeout HD. I installed the main game, then updates then fixes. I also tried main game, fixes, then updates and still get the same. The game loads OK and i can choose which race to go to and which racer but then nothing. Have to re-start my system to get out of it.
I've tried REBUG and KMEAW with no luck just in case it was the FW that was the issue - any ideas?

Looks wrong combo.
1. install Wipeout HD game
2. install Wipeout HD FIX
3. install all three Patch Updates in order 2.01-2.20.
4. install Wipeout HD FURY add-on
5. install FURY FIX.
Done! Run the game and choose between basic game and Fury add-on.
If any problems, then some of your files are corrupted downloads. Get them again.

Giving Opportunities
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work on behalf of Union College continues to be explaining to students the many ways their college experience is enhanced by the generosity of our alumni and friends. I enjoy helping students understand how the vision and care of others has helped create the academic, spiritual and social atmosphere they currently enjoy.
At Union, we understand a strategic vision for the future is vital for survival in today's competitive environment. Achieving that vision is possible if people choose to philanthropically partner with the college.
Union is blessed to have alumni and friends from around the world, who through their generous gifts, enable the college to realize progress which impacts both the present and the future.
I invite you to consider how you might personally impact the progress of Union College . Whether you consider an endowed scholarship, an unrestricted gift to the Union College Fund or a future gift through planned giving, your gift does matter.
Thank you for your involvement in the success of Union College.
Ways to Give
You may support Union College through outright or deferred planned gifts. These options are described below.
Cash Gifts
A cash gift, through a personal check or credit card, is the most popular type of charitable gift Union College receives. You can make gifts using a credit card online at the Rock Pile Alumni Community or by using EZ Gift.
Real Estate
Residential, agricultural, commercial or investment real estate can be designated to benefit Union College as a current gift. If Union accepts the real estate transfer, the college will immediately sell the asset and the net sale proceeds will benefit the program(s) you designate.
Transferring securities—stocks, bonds or mutual funds—that have been held longterm to Union College allows you to receive a charitable deduction for the full, fair market value of the securities. Giving securities that have appreciated in value also allows you to avoid capital gains tax.
Life Insurance
You can donate a life insurance policy to Union College or simply name the college as the beneficiary. For the gift of a paid-up policy, you will receive an income tax deduction equal to the lesser of the cash value of the policy or the total premiums paid. To qualify for the federal charitable contribution deduction on a gift of an existing policy, you must name us as owner and beneficiary. To make a significant future gift at a relatively low cost, you may do so through a new life insurance policy.
You can contribute a non-cash gift of tangible property. Examples include office equipment and furnishings, supplies for medical mission trips, vehicles, teaching supplies and equipment, and musical instruments. The college reserves the right to accept or refuse a gift-in-kind. A letter will be provided for those gifts accepted; however, the donor will be responsible for determining the charitable value of the gift.
Matching Gifts
Many corporations or businesses match their employees' charitable gifts with a contribution of equal or greater value. A matching gift may be initiated by completing your company's matching gift form and sending it with your gift to Union College. Check with your human resources or personnel office to determine if your employer has a matching gift program and if your gift qualifies for a corporate match.
Deferred Planned Gifts
Planned giving is about choices. The optimal gift plan depends upon your charitable and personal objectives with consideration to available assets, income tax bracket, age, health, income needs, additional sources of income and financial obligations. To discover the best plan for you, contact Scot Coppock at sccoppoc [at] ucollege.edu or 402.486.2600 ext. 2200. Review your planned giving options.

The Matrix Reloaded
Mondschein's project—persuading cubicle-slaves to reject their own matrix—drives his reading of the film, which is, to say the least, amenable to his treatment. The results are, um, illuminating. On the Architect: "In Gnostic theology, it is Satan, not God, who has created the world in order to imprison humanity." And: "The first movie made use of Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation; this movie seems to be dipping into Foucault and Derrida, who wrote that the systems of power and control are all-pervasive, and language is one of the ways they make their influence felt. The Prophecy is, like all prophecies, speech, and thus language. More importantly, it is a religion, and, as John Zerzan writes, the purpose of a religion is to manipulate signs, that is, words, for the purpose of control." (Ken Mondschein, "Kung Fu Philosophers: The Corporate Mofo Guide to the Matrix Reloaded," CorporateMofo.com)

buying 1,200lbs of grapes and fermenting them in his apartment in Northwest Portland. With some experimentation and a passion for making terroir driven, fruit forward, vineyard and varietal specific wines, the El Corazon style was born. The next year, he moved back to Walla Walla. On his way to Kansas after El Corazon's first crush, it hit Spencer (randomly, driving through a tunnel) to follow his heart. He picked up the phone and said to Raul, "El Corazon!" Raul said "Jefe, it's 2AM, call me tomorrow," and hung up. The next day, it all began.
Spencer's interest in winemaking started in 2006, in an apartment in Northwest Portland. After meeting Raul the same year, the two decided to combine their love for Walla Walla Valley and fruit forward wines to start El Corazon Winery. When Spencer isn't making wine and entertaining tasting room guests, he is spending time with his son, Tiger. Little known facts: Spencer once drove 50,000 miles on only vegetable oil and never reads fiction.
Raul, also known as 'The Sexican,' is the hardest working man in the game. He is a native of Michocan, Mexico, and developed his love for wine in the Walla Walla valley in the late 90's. Spending many years working with various wineries, Raul has developed a refined and delicate palette especially specific to Walla Walla wines. He enjoys fishing and spending time with his kids, Brian and Brianna.
Behind every great winery is some solid inspiration. Tiger is 110% inspiration for Spencer and El Corazon. He's the official team mascot and official poison grape taster. When he isn't running around the winery or reading incessantly, he attends 4th grade.

Moscow Mule
p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }
The Moscow Mule is a buck or mule cocktail which is mostly made with Vodka, Ginger Beer and Lime. It is a Vodka based cocktail and very popular during both the Summer and the Winter seasons. The warm ginger taste makes it suitable for the Winter whereas Lime makes it a refreshing summer drink. The cocktail is widely considered the drink which started the Vodka trend in the US which began in the 1940s.
Origin of the Moscow Mule Cocktail
The cocktail was concocted in 1941 by John G. Martin and John "Jack" Morgan. While Martin was the owner of G.F. Heublein Brothers, In., a popular spirits and food distributor of the East Coast, Morgan was the President of Cock 'n' Bull Productions, the producer of Ginger Beer. Morgan was also the proprietor of Cock 'n' Bull Tavern, a popular bar on LA's Sunset Boulevard which was frequented by celebrities.
Morgan's beer was mixed with Smirnoff Vodka and lime and thus was born the Moscow Mile. Specially engraved copper mugs were ordered for the drink to be served in. With a few months, Moscow Mule became one of the most talked about and popular cocktails and it has managed to remain so over the years.
Ingredients and Method of Preparation: Moscow Mule Cocktail Recipe
Traditionally used ingredients are Smirnoff Vodka, Ginger Beer, sugar syrup and lime juice. Sprig mint and lime slices are used for garnishing.
Preparation time of the drink is about 3 to 4 minutes. In a copper mug, vodka is poured over ice and sugar syrup and lime juice are added. After topping with Ginger Beer, the concoction is stirred, garnished and the cocktail is ready to be served.
Serving the Moscow Mule Drink
Moscow Mule is served in a copper mug, on the rocks or poured over ice.
Variations of the Moscow Mule Cocktail
There are two popular variants of the drink based on recipes followed and while both use the traditional ingredients, measurements of alcohol units, garnishing and serving method are different.
Joy of Mixology, Gary Regan: This recipe uses 2 ounces of Vodka, 2 ounces of Ginger Beer and 2 lime wedges for garnish. The cocktail is served in the traditional copper mug.
Craft of the Cocktail, Dale DeGroff: 1 1/2 ounces of Vodka, 4 to 5 ounces of Ginger Beer and 1 lime wedge for garnish come together to make this variant of the drink. This cocktail is served in an iced glass.
Other popular variants of Moscow Mule are:
Mule's Kick: Served over crushed ice in a copper mug. No fruit is added.
Three Legged Mule: Made with Jameson Irish Whiskey.
Passionfruit Mule: Also known as Passionate Mule in the UK, this version is made with 42BELOW Passionfruit Vodka.
Prague Donkey: Commonly abbreviated to ProgDonk, this cocktail is made with fresh ginger-infused Vodka, Ginger Beer and lime. It is always served tall.
Jamaican Mule: The version substituted Vodka for White or Spiced Rum.
Satanic Mule: The variant with lemon replacing the lime. Mint leaves are also added.
Vanilla Mule: This Moscow Mule variant is served with Vanilla Vodka, lime juice, Ginger Beer and bruised mint leaves. The drink is served over ice.

Wilkinson, who missed the whole of the 2005 RBS 6 Nations, will nevertheless be in Sir Clive Woodward's thinking for the British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand, and will be given every opportunity to recover in time as Newcastle are not obliged to name their side until Thursday afternoon.
However, Black was not overly optimistic.
He said: ''I think it would be a huge ask at this point.
"It is all going very well and I am very pleased, but whether he will be ready for the game in Paris on Saturday is a big ask, it really is.
''I am not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes.
"You would never rule him out of anything, but from a realistic standpoint, that would be a big ask.''
Wilkinson suffered a recurrence of an old knee injury on his return to action against Harlequins three weeks ago.
Newcastle director of rugby Rob Andrew revealed after the defeat by Bath on Sunday that England's World Cup-winning fly-half would be given every opportunity to overcome the setback and he could yet figure at the Parc des Princes.
That he is still in contention suggests Wilkinson's recovery is progressing ahead of schedule.
But Wilkinson has suffered four serious injuries since the World Cup and Black is aware how important it is to manage his return successfully.
Black told BBC Radio Five Live: ''He's a very sensible young man.
"He is very passionate about the game and very passionate about the club he plays for but we have got to do what is best for him in the long run.''
''He is a national treasure and we need to do whatever is right for him and his career."
The fitness of Wales flanker Colin Charvis, another potential Lions tourist, is also being closely monitored although Saturday's encounter may also arrive too soon.
Charvis missed Wales' charge to Grand Slam glory with a foot injury and Black added: ''We'll not try to press the fast forward button even though this game's very, very important.
''Jonny and Colin will come back when they're ready.''

How Much Do Sweet Tomatoes Cost?
Among the most popular types of tomatoes are the sweet tomatoes — a tomato that has a deep, rich, red color.
How much does it cost?
- On average, sweet tomatoes are going to cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per pound depending on the time of year and the particular type of tomato. By the pint, the costs can vary anywhere from $3 to $6.
- Johnson's Backard Garden, a vegetable grower in Austin, Texas, offers two sweet tomato varieties, particularly the Taxi and Golden Rave types, which cost about $26 for 10 pounds. They also sell cherry or plum tomatoes that cost $15 for four pints.
- At Park Slope Food Coop, based in Brooklyn, New York, tomatoes come in several varieties and various prices: on-vine, organic tomatoes are $4.52 per pound; plum on-vine, organic tomatoes are $4.18 each; organic tomatoes are $2.94 per pound; and the plum organic tomatoes are $1.51 per pound.
- The Veggie Patch at Bouchard Farms in Commerce, Georgia, grows heirloom tomatoes and hybrid tomatoes: the juliet tomato cost $1.95 per pound; vine-ripe round red small tomatoes cost $4.20 per pound; vine ripe round red medium tomatoes cost $4.20; vine ripe round red large tomatoes cost $4.20; mixed cherry pint costs $5.60; on-the-vine farmer's choice cost $5.60 per pound; and on-the-vine tomatoes cost $5.60 per pound.
What is going to be included?
- Tomatoes come in different varieties and can be bought by piece, by pound, or by box. When buying at a farmers' market or at a farmer's stand, you have the option to look at tomatoes and inspect them one by one, or you can go with a pre-packed bag. At supermarkets, the items will usually be packed in containers.
What are the extra costs?
- When buying online, you may need to pay for shipping costs. With some online vendors though, you will not have to pay for shipping or transport as they will deliver the tomatoes at an agreed-upon location where you can pay them directly.
Factors that influence the price:
- Variety. In general, heirloom tomatoes are more expensive compared with other varieties. They have more flavor and color and are allowed to ripen on the vine. They have a thin skin and require more care when picking and storing. In addition, they bear less fruit than other tomato types and have a very slow ripening process, which can result to higher susceptibility to damage brought about by insects and weather conditions.
- Handpicked/machine-picked. Tomatoes that are hand-picked are more expensive compared with the ones that are machine-picked. Handpicking the tomatoes needs to be done with care to ensure the tomatoes are not damaged. Meanwhile, tomatoes picked by machines require less care as the fruits are not yet in a delicate state, allowing them to be reaped, shipped and stored in mass quantities.
- Season. Tomato varieties that are available all year round tend to have lower prices in comparison with the types that are harvested only at certain times of the year. Plum tomatoes can be bought anytime of the year.
- Source. The best tomatoes are grown in local farms and picked when ripe, especially in the summer. Tomatoes grown in greenhouses, picked ripe and shipped by air are often the most expensive. Meanwhile, tomatoes that are picked green, applied with ethylene to change the color into more or less red, refrigerated and shipped may be priced lower compared to those left to ripen on tomato vines.
Tips to know:
- The best tomatoes you can purchase will be at a local farm stand, when tomatoes are in season in your area.
- Locally grown tomatoes are the best when it comes to taste. They are also healthier since they are usually grown with less or no pesticides and chemicals, unlike with commercially-driven farms.
- When picking out cherry tomatoes, look for those that have a good red color and still have stems. Missing the stem is often an indication that the tomatoes are not freshly picked.
- Never refrigerate tomatoes. Refrigerating them takes away the flavor and the nutrients and affects the texture.
- Avoid hybrid tomatoes because they are hard, thick and have no taste.
How can I save money?
- Buy locally. Farmer stands and farmers markets provide the best tomatoes at significantly lower prices.
- When ordering tomatoes from a farm that sells online, arrange to pick up the tomatoes yourself and pay them directly. Many farms offer as much as 40-50% discounts at the time of pickup, but will usually forfeit them when you pay through PayPal.
- Consider joining food coops. They provide their members with local, organic produce which can be bought at hugely discounted prices.
- Produce bought at retailers and membership warehouse clubs are sometimes less expensive than in regular supermarkets and grocery stores.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
New SUTA rates In Florida are started Jan 1, 2010 and are based on annual salary up to $8,500 per employee:
-- Minimum rate: 0.0118 or $100.30 per employee
-- Maximum rate: 0.0540 or $459 per employee
Florida assigns new employers an initial tax rate of 0.0270
Let me know if you need any help.
You do not pay unemployment to the person who works for you - you will only pay SUTA taxes that are used to pay unemployment benefits.
You will pay SUTA taxes as a percentage of wages paid.
If you do not pay any wages - there would not be any SUTA taxes.
When wages for a specific person overpass $8,500 - you would not pay SUTA taxes for that person in the current year - only first $8,500 of wages are taxable.
Can you please just answer the original question below? Once they leave me do I have any exposure to the money they collect???
If you hire some one that is collecting unemployement and they go off for only a few weeks while they work for you how much of their future unemployment would I be liable for?
You as an employer are not liable for unemployment benefits.
Unemployment benefits are paid by the unemployment insurance - http://www.floridajobs.org/unemployment/
You as an employer are only liable to pay SUTA taxes which are used to fund the unemployment insurance.

Pond Pumps
Water pond pumps are a necessity for garden ponds. Circulation aerates water and provides oxygen, which is necessary for a healthy pond. The oxygen is necessary not only for the health of the fish, but also for the health of the beneficial bacteria that live in the pond. Without circulating water, your pond would quickly get overgrown with algae and become stagnant, killing the fish within. Garden pond pumps will help keep algae levels manageable in a pond. The pond pump must be able to handle enough water to provide sufficient filtration and … Read More
Aquatic Plants
Our most popular aquatic plants for sale are water lilies, water hyacinths, water lettuce, and water hawthorn. Aquatic plants are an integral part of your pond. They help the water and the fish.

Artificial ponds require water filters. In nature, most bodies of water have streams that feed them, as well as streams that carry water away. As a result, the growth of algae is limited, and water does not become stagnant. Not so with garden ponds - pond filters are indispensable.

With Burgers, What Does "Done" Mean? Will a hamburger that is supposed to be cooked medium to well done have any red in the center?
In the cooking of beef, the designation "medium" is generally agreed to have a warm, pink not red center and an internal temperature of 140° to 145°. Rare leaves the center cool and red (120° to 125°); medium-rare is warm and red (130° to 135°); medium-well is warm with little or no pink (150° to 155°); and well-done is uniformly grey-brown throughout (160° to 165°).
Over a hot grill, under the broiler, or in a medium-hot frying pan, a one-inch-thick hamburger will take about three minutes per side to reach rare, four minutes to reach medium, and five to thirty-seven minutes to reach well done.
While we're on the subject, the US Department of Agriculture wants you to cook hamburger to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C). In other words, you are not to eat a hamburger that is not well done. Many people see no point in eating a hamburger that is well done. This is the definition of a conundrum.

I will admit that didn't have the highest of expectations when heading out to see A Christmas Story, The Musical. Musicals based on (non-musical) movies are often sketchy, and I don't love the movie to begin with. My biggest hope was that I wouldn't be bored and that my 6-year-old daughter would also remain entertained through the whole 2 1/2 hours. I guess I should have set my sights higher because we were both entranced for the whole thing.
For the uninitiated, A Christmas Story is about Ralphie, a boy who is obsessed with getting his dream Christmas present: a Red Ryder carbine action BB gun. But all of the adults in his life threaten that he'll shoot his eye out. In the meantime, he contends with bullies, school, and the trials of childhood, including a father who has an obsession of his own. It's a story about family, and growing up, and the magic (or lack thereof) of Christmas.
I ended up bringing my 17-year old niece and her best friend, as well as my theater-loving brother-in-law. It was nice to get the perspectives of so many different people because we all had a unique take on things. My brother-in-law enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I did. He preferred the movie version. My niece and her friend seemed to enjoy it, although they seemed a bit scandalized now and again (see below) and would probably have shaved off 15 or so minutes if they could. It is, admittedly, on the long side. 2 1/2 hours with intermission will test the limits of young theater-goers, although some popcorn or candy mid-show may help regain their focus! We were surrounded by families with kids in the 5-9 age range and the kids all seemed to love it from beginning to end.
The show has a stellar cast. Dan Lauria, of Wonder Years fame, plays Mr. Parker (aka adult Ralphie) who serves as the story narrator. Broadway veterans, John Bolton and Erin Dilly play Ralphie's parents. Ralphie is played by an extremely talented Jake Lucas, but his talent is nearly eclipsed by the cuteness factor from Noah Baird, who plays his little brother. All of the kids in the show were amazing to watch, but definitely expect to be wowed by young tap dancer Luke Spring (who appeared on Ellen at the ripe old age of 7). The kids take the show from just being funny and entertaining to a sheer delight.
There are a few things parents should note before taking their kids to see A Christmas Story, The Musical. First of all, although it's about a kid, it's not necessarily geared toward kids. Expect quite a bit of adult humor and a lot of faux swearing. Second, it's set in the 1950's, with all of the sensibilities you'd expect to find. There's some tongue-in-cheek ethnic slurs/stereotypes and references to gender roles. There are cowboys and Indians and little girls dancing in saloon dresses. I think my niece and her friend were occasionally horrified that my 6-year-old was watching this, but it went right over her head. Younger kids will miss most of the "inappropriate" content, but older tweens and teens will most likely pick up on it all. There were also a few uncomfortable moments when, in a dream sequence, Ralphie pulled out his rifle at school to save his teacher-in-distress. Unfortunately, what should be a silly dream of saving the day may, for some, be a reminder of the less heroic violence we're seeing all-too-often in schools today. The only issue I had was with the "outing" of Santa Claus at the end when an adult Ralphie alluded to the fact that his Christmas present actually came from his father. Once again, it will be lost on younger audience members, but may cast some additional doubt for kids who are just on the cusp. I had no regrets in taking my daughter, who thought it was amazing, but I always believe it helps to enter into these situations prepared.
A Christmas Story, The Musical is playing until December 8 at the Citi Wang Theatre in Boston. For a bit more background and a discount code, you can visit my original post.

Brian Propst, Jr. '10 had recently designed the official "Ball So Hard University" apparel for Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who'd created a national sensation when he announced the fictional university as his alma mater in an NBC graphic during a televised game on November 6, 2011. Propst, who majored in painting with a studio concentration in illustration while at MICA, is no stranger to sports. He'd won the 2003 Maryland State Championship in wrestling at 145 pounds and went on to wrestle as a collegiate athlete. After a motorcycle accident ended his wrestling hopes, Propst made his way to MICA. Today, he says his most personal works are related to his background as an athlete, as he uses competition to convey his interests in spirituality and humanity. The apparel can be found at tsizzle55.com.

text: Canadians who want the right to order wine directly from wineries won a big victory this summer when Parliament voted to end a nearly century-old ban on direct shipping between provinces. But the new law has created confusion, because it puts the decision in the hands of provincial governments. Wine Spectator's Robert Taylor explains.

Changes in Family Status
Once you enroll in our medical and/or dental plans, the IRS does not allow you to make a change to the plan and coverage level during the calendar year, except during open enrollment. The IRS will only allow you to make a change to your coverage level during a calendar year if there is a qualifying change in your family status.
The following are acceptable changes:
- Gaining or losing a dependent through marriage, divorce, birth, adoption or death;
- Ineligibility of a dependent child for coverage due to age restrictions (19 or 23 with full time student status);
- Change in spousal/domestic partner employment status.
You have 31 days from the date of the event to complete enrollment forms to change your coverage level relevant to the qualifying event. For example, if you do not initially enroll your 5-year-old child in the medical plan, you would not be able to enroll this 5-year-old child upon the birth of another child.
Please contact your Human Resources/Benefits office within 31 days of the qualifying event in order to complete the appropriate change forms. If you wait longer than 31 days, you will need to make the changes at the next annual open enrollment.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Pelosi Clarifies Remarks On Romney, Tax Returns
"Clearly, from the Leader's answers, there is a standard for presidential candidates that has not been met by the former Republican governor and that's what she said when she answered four questions on the topic," a Pelosi aide told TPM.
At her weekly press conference, Pelosi was asked four times why members of Congress shouldn't live up to the same standard and also release multiple years of tax returns. After answering the question and several follow-ups, she tried to move on to a new topic.
"See, we spent too much time on it," Pelosi said. "We should be talking about middle income tax cuts and why they were going to reinvigorate the economy and remove the uncertainty and take us to a place where the headwinds that are stalling some of our economic growth. That's really what is important."
Roll Call reported that the Democratic leader downplayed her demand and called the issue of Romney's tax returns a distraction in a story headlined, "Nancy Pelosi Downplays Tax Return Demand." The Romney campaign blasted out the article to reporters, the ex-governor having stated that he won't release additional tax returns.
The "we" in Pelosi's quote -- as reporters from ABC News and Politico noted on Twitter -- was a reference to those assembled at the press conference discussing House members' taxes, rather than the national conversation over a presidential candidate's tax returns.
Earlier in the exchange, the House minority leader reiterated her stance on Romney, arguing that releasing many years of tax returns is appropriate on the presidential stage.
"I said I think he should release his tax returns," she said. "That is the custom for people running for President and why wouldn't you? Because you're going to invite -- I think that it's a relationship between the person running for President and the American people."
