It seems everyone is getting into gardens.
First Lady Michelle Obama held a groundbreaking Friday for a White House Kitchen Garden and today California First Lady Maria Shriver announced that a similar garden would be planted on the Capitol Park grounds in Sacramento.
Shriver's office is still working out details, but the 800-square-foot "demonstration garden" will be on the east side of the Capitol building and will be planted in May. It will replace an existing flower bed.
"We're going to see how that will work. If it's successful we'll talk about expanding it," said Francisco Castillo, Shriver's spokesman. He said it would not be like the "huge" garden planted at San Francisco's Civic Center last year.
Berkeley chef Alice Waters, the grand dame of edible gardens, will help with the project.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
She could be the scare crow
Did she dress like Michele whilst tilling the soil?
If Shriver and Obama have begun growing their own food, the rest of us better get busy. I think they know something we don't know.
All the bums and panhandlers that infest Sacramento will stand around it and ask for someone to pick veggies for them.
sounds like more work for Mexicans....
Gee, why would you say that?
What would Maria know about food? EAT, Maria!
First off, she isn't planting it herself except for photo ops and she's going to have other tending it until she's bored with it.
And yes, we should all grow gardens if we want to and hang those idiots telling us we can and they can't. More diversion and distraction.
Meant to say we can't and they can't.
can't wait to see Michele out in the garden with her ho.
Plant it next to that homeless tent city in Sacremento where it will do some good. This is some subtle message of hoping to start a trend without actually telling people to panic.
Gardening must be testing positve before focus groups.
Neither the garden in Sacramento nor the garden in Washington will have any shortage of fertilizer.
My thought exactly.
More than likely that will be using it as their personal porta potty!
Will part of Maria's job be keeping the bums from relieving themselves on the veggies?
May is pretty late to start a garden in CA.
Put the homeless to work in the garden instead of paying state employees $75,000 a year to do it. Let the homeless earn some self respect if they have any sense of what that means.
"May is pretty late to start a garden in CA."
Especially with this global warming.
I guess this is the new trend. Like none of us have ever planted a garden and they are going to show us how it's done.

Allergic Rhinitis Medicines and ChildrenTopic OverviewChildren with allergic rhinitis have the same treatment options as adults. They should avoid substances that trigger their allergies (allergens). And they usually need to use medicine to control symptoms. Your child may also get allergy shots. Don't give medicines to your child without talking to your child's doctor. You and the doctor will be able to find the right kind of medicine for your child. The medicine you and your doctor choose will depend on your child's symptoms and the possible side effects from taking medicine. Nasal corticosteroids

TIME/TV: 7:05 p.m., YES Network
WEATHER: Some clouds, but ultimately a sunny sky and blue sky. Temperatures will be in the upper-50s.
UMPIRES: HP Eric Cooper, 1B Marty Foster, 2B Mark Carlson, 3B Andy Fletcher
ON THE LINE: None of the fifth starter candidates will be pitching out of the bullpen, instead the Yankees will get their first look at Chan Ho Park… Marcus Thames, Randy Winn and Brett Gardner also have another chance to get three at-bats or so, trying to improve their numbers. Joe Girardi said this afternoon that Gardner is indeed the favorite to open the season as the Yankees third outfield starter.
UPDATE, 6:51 p.m.: A few notes from this afternoon's session with Girardi.
• Girardi has said every fifth starter candidate will get a chance to pitch at least once more before being eliminated from the race. It's possible either Chad Gaudin or Sergio Mitre could be knocked out tomorrow. "It's conceivable," Girardi said. "It's not necessary."
• The Yankees would like to make a decision on the fifth starter by the end of next week, but they could push it until the final week of spring training. "If everyone pitches great, we might run them all out again," Girardi said.
• Trainer Steve Donohue told Girardi that Damaso Marte is "better than he thought he would be." Marte will probably pitch tomorrow at home.
• The final job on the bench is pretty much between Marcus Thames and Jamie Hoffmann. Girardi once again mentioned David Winfree as someone the Yankees are interested in, but that right-handed outfield role will probably come down to Thames or Hoffmann. "Those are the two main guys we're looking at right now," Girardi said.
• For those of you trying to guess the lineup every day, most guys are not going to play three days in a row at this point. That's why Alex Rodriguez, for example, is out of the lineup today. "He played two days in a row," Girardi said. "That's kind of where we're at right now. Two days in a row and then we'll work to three eventually." Girardi didn't say so, but it does seem that some guys might have to play three in a row for tomorrow's split squad.
UPDATE, 8:02 p.m.: Sorry for the lack of updates tonight. My deadlines are early and I've been frantically writing for the newspaper. After some miscommunication with Jorge Posada — both went after a ball in front of the plate, but neither ultimately fielded it — Vazquez has escaped a two on, two out jam in the third and has so far allowed one run through three innings. I assume most of you are watching on TV, but if you're not, Derek Jeter's two-out, two-run double has given the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
UPDATE, 8:20 p.m.: Javier Vazquez is finished, Romulo Sanchez is in. Vazquez went 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K. He threw 60 pitches, 38 strikes.
UPDATE, 8:33 p.m.: So, Romulo Sanchez. He wasn't very good. Loaded the bases for Boone Logan, who struck out Carl Crawford to end it, but not before a passed ball scored a run. Rays lead it, 3-2.
UPDATE, 9:13 p.m.: Ladies and gentlemen, Colin Curtis! Three run home run has put the Yankees back in front, 5-3. If those offseason adjustments are going to make this sort of difference, Curtis could really push for a big league call-up this season. The upper levels are thin in the outfield, and Curtis could easily begin to stand out. A lot of talent there, just hasn't led to big numbers in the minors.
UPDATE, 9:18 p.m.: Mark Melancon is in to pitch for the Yankees in the seventh. Every starting position player is out of the game.

An Ending
I'll be back in a couple of weeks and would treasure your prayers at this time.
Make an effort to go to someone that you love, look them in the eye and tell them what they mean to you. You will never regret it.

Oh, Sweetie...,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your adorable Mommy. She was such a dear, I remember her walking through my shop & loving everything she saw. I remember making her paperdoll birthday card using the picture of her as a beautiful, happy, glowing child & putting on her high tops & adding her wings. I will always remember her as that adorable paper doll...now she can truly spread those wings & fly!
Big Hugs & my thought & prayers are with you dear friend.
SusieWhat? Oh no. I didn't see this until now. I will be lifting you and the family in prayer for God's comfort and His peace.
I am so very, very sorry.
I do not know what it's like to lose a mother (yet). I do know what it's like to love one.
May that peace of God, which passes all understanding guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.
Much love and prayer,
DebbieOh Lynn, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I have no words...nothing I could write seems to express how heavy my heart feels for you. Just know we are lifting you and your family up in prayer to the ONE who can bring comfort and even peace in the midst of such a difficult time.
VanessaLynn - I just read your post and am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for you. As I have read your posts over the months I have learned that you are a kind, loving, caring and sensitive soul. Your mom was blessed to have you as a daughter. I will join others in praying for you and your family at this time. You have had a lot to deal with over the last month or so. Sending a big hug your way - xo
ReplyDeleteDear, dear Lynn,
I am so sorry I didn't know this. Our friend Iver's memorial service was this week and we have been totally out of commission. I just wish I were there so I could put my arms around you and give you a huge hug. Then I would look you in the eye and tell you that you make a huge difference in my life, especially in your expression of faith in Jesus, God and an afterlife. I admire your parenting so very much and know that, though you tell a wonderful tale, things are often exhausting. And I love how you keep your sense of humor when things are exhausting. You are just one wonderful woman and I am holding you in my heart and sending prayers that you feel some moments of peace during this sad time.
Love you, Lynn,
SuzOh Lynn...I am so sorry to hear this news. I was thinking of you tonight and realized I hadn't seen you post in a while, so stopped by to check in on you. Somehow I missed this post. I hope you are doing okay...I know you must miss your mother terribly! I am sending prayers for comfort and loving thoughts...XO
ReplyDeleteI've been working a lot lately and have missed getting to your blog...
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom Lynn. I can't even begin to imagine a world without our Moms; that one person that was there right from the very beginning.
In all the inevitable ups and downs of the next few weeks and months I hope you find some peace and laughter in happy memories.
Thinking of you, Jillayne

The City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved a $1.5 million grant to help Jim Lake Jr. redevelop the 300 block of West Jefferson including the Jefferson Tower.
Now what?
Lake says he plans to complete purchase of property there on the north side of the street in January and announce a new tenant(s) for the now shuttered spaces sometime in the first quarter. He hopes to begin construction in April.
It's all part of proposed changes to the 200 and 300 blocks of West Jefferson in Oak Cliff, including expansion of the roadway median for an outdoor market and gathering space.
To that end, a rezoning of the area, specifically Planned Development 316, is in the works. City planning staff, property owners and others have been discussing possible changes to the zoning rules, including an easing of parking restrictions and allowing sidewalk cafe seating and live-work spaces. Here's more on the target area.
Dates for public meetings and hearings haven't been set. But Bob Stimson, president of the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, said the goal is to get proposed zoning changes to the City Council for consideration before next year's summer recess.
Also being tossed around is creation of a Public Improvement District that would assess property owners within the district a fee to cover such things as increased police patrol, perhaps a Jefferson-Bishop Arts circulator transit system, special events and landscaping.
"We asked the city to crunch some numbers and see if it makes sense," Stimson said.
Want to get involved in the discussions and perhaps serve on a steering committee looking at the rezoning? Contact city planner Donna Moorman at email@example.com

Several months ago we received an email regarding the chance to review a very interesting case called the XClio 1000. At that time I searched and found very little info and never heard anything else from them until just recently. This time they offered to send a sample of this cool looking new case, so of course we jumped at the chance to check it out. This monster of a case is a Super Tower with a steel chassis that has 8 180mm tri colour LED fans. It can hold up to 12 hard drives based on their Smart Modular HDD system as well as an additional 3 5.25 devices like CD ROM drives. Do we have your attention yet! These are some pretty nice specs. Let's have a look at their company profile so we can learn a bit about XClio and how they roll.
XClio Profile as posted on their website:
The overwhelming popularity of the personal computer originated with IBMs compatible design. Starting with the AT design then todays popular ATX designs a new form factor evolves almost every other 10 years. Intel launched its new BTX form factors to the market in 2003, so we see the evolution from AT to ATX continue.
With continued research and development companies keep providing new technology that enhances components used in computers and consumer electronics (i.e. CPU, Hard Drives, video card, etc). Intel and AMD continue to introduce new processors that exponentially increase computing capabilities. Manufacturers of hard drives are providing drives with larger capacity, increased cache speeds and even the revolutions per minute has increased to 15,000 for SATA drives. Both nVIDIA and ATI manufacturers of video cards have increased their graphic process performance while requiring faster and larger memory. But, with all of these electronic components performing more, a great amount of heat is generated.
XCLIOs philosophy on designing cases is one of simplicity and practicality. XCLIO design group combines the expertise and ideas from designers locally and aboard. Our designs are verified against guidelines from the CE/FCC testing lab, temperature-testing lab, noisy testing lab, so we can achieve the following:

Smart Aleck.
Watching CNN about 5 hours ago, they mentioned the Georgian part, but didn't say anything about Russia (which I was waiting to hear). Not sure if the information wasn't out then, or if that was editorial discretion
Steve I agree with your post, and the one before.
But on another topic, why do you keep ignoring the topic of Singularity? - 8/7/09, 8:27 PM
OT, but of interest to to the Steveosphere:
Be sure to catch this weekend's edition of TO THE CONTRARY WITH BONNIE ERBE on your local PBS affiliate. It eschews its usual panel format for a shockingly fair look at the environmental movement's abandonment of reduced population growth. Featured are former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm, Roy Beck of Numbers USA, and several other members of the immigration restrictionist movement.
The good guys come off very well; the Sierra Club, not so much. - 8/7/09, 9:05 PM

I haven't read the last comment thread, so maybe it has come up. But if the US is to have a major military presence in the Middle East (for oil interests), then it needs a major forward operating base in a civilized country as close as possible to the Middle East, and Germany is convenient since we are already there. Soldiers can have the amenities that they cannot access in the ME: women, alcohol, fast cars, top quality medical treatment, etc, etc. That said, I'd be for a much smaller contingent in Romania instead, saving billions.
My message to the environmentalists:

Troops in German are not for leverage in Georgia -- Obama clearly made a deal with Putin to leave it to the Russians. Which of course means that Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic will simply nuke up. It's not 1938, nukes allow even small nations to push back on larger ones. You can't move or hide Moscow.
What's more interesting is how vulnerable internet services are. If the Russians can take down Twitter and Facebook, can elements within Pakistan's ISI attack more fundamental aspects of the Internet? BGP gateways, data centers, etc. Google, Yahoo, and other web services, particularly those using "Cloud Computing?"
[Troops in Germany are clearly an "option" for intervention in the ME. Maybe we should or shouldn't have them there, but removing them means we lose that option to intervene, decisively. We're left with a few naval and Italian based air assets.]
The bigger issue (one a lot of folks have been worrying about but can't get leverage to spend money on) is as we expand distributed computing over the internet (particularly all those companies taking advantage of Google services to run inventory, general database and other services) we increase vulnerability. To "non-War" intervention, by even weak states that have factions. Pakistan is a pit, but they have smart people there too.
LA is using Google for government email, police records, and other confidential data. I was part of a vendor team that briefly engaged the LAPD for an overhaul of their data in 2003. This is a huge change to what they are proposing now. Back then, security of data and tracking who accessed it was the biggest requirement. Cost pressures are leading governments to put stuff on the internet (Google sells excess computing capacity, basically, to business and governments as does Yahoo and Microsoft) because of the revenue crisis.
This means not just interruption of service, but potentially, the ability of organized groups, criminal or factional, to access a wide net of confidential data and then use it or sell it.
If for example, you had about 1/4 of the LAPD's daily transactions via terminals, let alone their database, what could you sell it for, and who could you sell it to?
If you can take down Twitter, the next step is collecting data from internet transactions of government and business. - 8/8/09, 1:53 PM
Why are there 56,000 troops in Germany? Didn't the Berlin wall come down 20 years ago?
cuz they were never there for the berlin wall, but to make sure the germans don't become independent again, i.e. keep them as permanent vassals. - 8/8/09, 2:46 PM
If you can take down Twitter, the next step is collecting data from internet transactions of government and business.
I think thats a lot harder. A lot more finesse.
DoS attacks seem to rely on brute computer force. - 8/8/09, 3:37 PM
Romania and Bulgaria are the pits. It would take a big investment to begin to get anything good going there. And both places are corrupt in a mobbed up way.
Germany is a expensive place from which to operate, but the Germans know what they are doing and things get done in a top notch way. The working relationship with the Germans of 50+ yrs can't be replaced by anything else in Europe.
The former East block is a mess. If the US is going to go east and operate more cheaply, Poland is the better place to be, but even the Poles can't quickly replace what the US has elsewhere and Poland is closer to where the action is. - 8/8/09, 7:05 PM
Im pretty sure Ive read that, in the aftermath of WW2, the British govt studied the costs of the war. With respect to operating in various countries.
In terms of basing forces; the more developed the country, the cheaper it was to operate there. So a military base in a developed country is actually a cheaper option and that pretty much applies today too.
In a more backward location the military have provide everything themselves. Buildings, bricks, concrete, food, electricty, running water. Services and materials that might be provided by subcontractors in a domestic setting all have to be imported one way or another.
All that is available in US bases in W. Europe but perhaps not so readily available in E.Europe and certainly not beyond. - 8/8/09, 7:28 PM

That's so excellent as to be plagiarism-worthy. Thank you, Chief.
At least in one-on-one conversations, I have found that many environmentally-minded liberals just crumble when confronted with the ugly truth of how mass immigration harms the environment and contributes to resource-depletion. I am astonished that more foes of immigration don't make use of this tactic. - 8/9/09, 3:02 PM

Come on, who cares about the Sierra Club? Use this particular case against immigration in your one-on-one conversations with the environmentally-minded, who won't read VDare anyway. Get out into the real world and do some old-fashioned evangelizing among your friends and neighbors.

text: From Our 2012 Archives Could Sleep Problems Predict Alzheimer's?Latest Alzheimers NewsFrequent Night Awakenings Linked to Signs of Alzheimer's, Researchers Find By Kathleen Doheny Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD Feb. 14, 2012 -- The poorer your sleep, the more likely you may be to develop Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. "We found that if people had a lot of awakenings during the night, more than five awakenings in an hour, they are more likely to have preclinical Alzheimer's disease," says researcher Yo-El Ju, MD, assistant professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Preclinical Alzheimer's disease is the term given to people who have normal mental skills but show brain changes associated with the degenerative disorder. Ju is due to present her findings on sleep problems and Alzheimer's disease in April at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting in New Orleans. The study is preliminary. It finds an association, but not a cause and effect. "We don't know which is the cart and which is the horse," says Gary Small, MD, Parlow-Solomon professor on aging at the University of California Los Angeles and director of its Longevity Center. Are brain changes driving the sleep problems or vice-versa? More study is needed, says Small, who reviewed the findings for WebMD. Ju agrees. Sleep Problems and Alzheimer's DiseaseJu and her colleagues evaluated 100 men and women aged 45-80. All were free of dementia at the study start. Half of them have a family history of Alzheimer's disease. Ju is in the process of enrolling or evaluating another 100 people. She expects to have those results by the meeting. For 14 days, the men and women wore a device that measures sleep. They also completed sleep diaries and questionnaires. The researchers analyzed spinal fluid. They looked at brain scans. They were looking for indicators of "amyloid plaques." These are deposits found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Experts believe the deposits can begin forming 10 to 15 years before the symptoms appear, Ju says. People slept an average of six-and-a-half hours, although they spent about eight hours a night in bed. Sleep Problems and Alzheimer's: Study ResultsAbout 25% of the 100 people had evidence of pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease due to abnormal indicators reflecting amyloid plaques. Those who woke up most frequently, more than five times an hour, were more likely than the others to have these abnormal biomarkers. Ju can't say exactly how much more likely the diagnosis was in those who woke up often. Those who spent less than 85% of their time in bed actually sleeping were also more likely to have preclinical Alzheimer's disease, they found. About half of the group had more than five awakenings an hour, and about half spent less than 85% of their time in bed sleeping, Ju says. While waking up five times an hour sounds like a lot, she says the sleep-measuring device may slightly overestimate the number of awakenings, but that ''people actually do wake briefly quite frequently during a regular night of sleep." Ju cites animal studies finding that sleep changes drive the accumulation of amyloid. She suspects that is the case for people, too. "But more study is needed," she says. "We don't have any information that tells us which direction the association is." Meanwhile, getting a good night's sleep is advised. "Everyone should prioritize their sleep," Ju says. "We don't value sleep as much as we should. Sleep is a very important function that allows the brain to rest." Sleep Problems and Alzheimer's Link? More Opinions"This [study] is another indication there are early brain changes [in Alzheimer's disease]," says Maria Carrillo, PhD, senior director of medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association. Which way the association develops is yet to be determined, she says. "The trouble sleeping could reflect brain changes happening," Carrillo tells WebMD. The study finding is not surprising, says UCLA's Small. "We know that getting a good night's sleep is important for the brain." Of the new research, "the causal relationship is not clear," he says. He suspects that inflammation may be playing a role. He and other experts believe brain inflammation and Alzheimer's may be linked. Perhaps the lack of sleep increases inflammation, he says. Small serves as speaker or advisor for Novartis, Forest, and Lilly. The study was funded by the nonprofit Ellison Medical Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. This study is due to be presented at a medical conference. The findings should be considered preliminary as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

* Taliban claim attack on soldiers in eastern Kunar province
* Six soldiers missing after pre-dawn assault
* Taliban suspends efforts to arrange exchange of prisoners (Adds additional comment from Karzai)
By Mohammed Anwar
ASADABAD, Afghanistan, Feb 23 (Reuters) - The Afghan Taliban killed 21 soldiers in an assault on Sunday in a remote mountainous region, the Afghan government said, and six soldiers were missing after the militants' most deadly assault on the security forces in months.
Also on Sunday, in a possible blow to U.S. efforts to foster peace talks to end the Afghan conflict, the Taliban said they had suspended efforts to arrange a possible exchange of Taliban and U.S. prisoners due to the "complexity" of the situation.
It was not immediately clear whether the attack in the eastern province of Kunar was related to the suspension of talks on a prisoner swap.
In response to the killings in Kunar, a mountainous region bordering Pakistan that has long been a stronghold of the Taliban, al Qaeda, and other militants, President Hamid Karzai put off a trip to Sri Lanka.
"The Afghan president is saddened by this tragic incident, and therefore he postponed today's official trip to Sri Lanka," Karzai's office said in a statement.
Government officials said 21 soldiers were killed and three were wounded in the attack on an army checkpoint in Kunar's Ghaziabad district. Six remained missing, they said.
The government sent reinforcements to the area where the pre-dawn attack took place, Afghan Defence Ministry spokesman Zahir Azimi said in a statement.
The Taliban appeared to have been waiting for them. Azimi said the reinforcements "came under enemy attack, and a suicide bomber detonated his explosives near them". The suicide bomber did not kill any Afghan soldiers, Azimi said.
In a possible reference to al Qaeda or other militants who might not be part of the Afghan Taliban, Azimi also told Reuters that "foreign fighters" had taken part in the attack.
The Afghan Taliban, in a statement emailed to media, claimed responsibility for the attack. Local officials in Kunar said three insurgents were killed.
Sunday's assault was the worst since last September, when the Taliban attacked a convoy of Afghan forces in relatively peaceful northern Badakhshan province, killing at least 18.
The attack took place as U.S. and NATO forces withdraw from Afghanistan ahead a year-end deadline, shifting the bulk of the fight against Taliban and other militants to Afghans.
While Afghanistan's police and army are seen as having made big strides in their capabilities, doubts remain about whether they can keep the Taliban at bay, especially in remote areas like Ghaziabad.
It remains unclear if the United States and allied nations will keep a small force in Afghanistan after 2014 to support Afghan forces and go after al Qaeda, due to Karzai's refusal so far to sign a pact authorising a future troop presence.
Karzai urged neighbouring Pakistan, where Afghan and U.S. officials say Taliban and other militants are able to resupply and plot attacks, to help it fight militants.
"The President once again calls on the government of Pakistan to earnestly and sincerely cooperate with a strong will with Afghanistan and to take serious and effective measures in eliminating the terrorist sanctuaries that have continued to pose a grave and serious threat to both the countries," his office said in its statement.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid announced that the group's reclusive leadership, believed to be based in Pakistan, had suspended attempts to arrange an exchange of senior Taliban locked up for years in a U.S. prison for a U.S. soldier in militant custody.
In an effort to foster peace talks, U.S. officials recently took steps they hoped might revive U.S. discussions with Taliban representatives about the proposed transfer of up to five Taliban detainees out of Guantanamo Bay prison in exchange for the return of Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. soldier who went missing in Afghanistan in 2009 and is believed to be held by Taliban-linked militants in northwest Pakistan.
"Due to the political complexity of the current situation in the country, the leadership of the Islamic Emirate has decided to suspend the issue for some time," Mujahid said, using the name the Taliban gave their 1996-2001 government.
"Therefore, the prisoner exchange process has been delayed until further notice," Mujahid said. He provided no further detail on why the decision had been made.
U.S. officials have long hoped such an exchange would not only free the only U.S. soldier to remain missing in the Afghanistan war, but would also be a step toward launching more substantive peace talks.
Robert Hilton, a spokesman for the U.S. embassy in Kabul, declined to discuss specifics.
"As we have said before, Sergeant Bergdahl has been gone far too long and we continue to call for his immediate release," Hilton said.
The Taliban statement comes as Karzai's government seeks to kindle direct talks of its own with Taliban officials.
Afghanistan's High Peace Council, a government body established to seek a political end to the war, said in a statement late on Saturday that a delegation led by Karzai aide Mohammad Masoom Stanekzai had met four senior "Taliban representatives" in Dubai last week.
The Taliban leadership has denied it authorised any of its members to participate in recent Dubai discussions and, in a statement last week, reiterated its opposition to holding talks with Karzai's government, which it deems illegitimate.

The first Gibson J185 was introduced in 1951, giving players a broader choice of flat-top acoustic guitars. Traditionally, the J185 features a body length of 20 1/4 inches, a width of 16 inches, and a body depth of 4 7/8 inches, producing a big sound with clear acoustics, making it equally impressive for powerful strumming or delicate fingerpicking, and everything in between.

Injury forced Brede Hangeland to miss Monday's West London derby. Chris Smalling was selected alongside Aaron Hughes in central defence. It was Smalling's first Barclays Premier League start for the Whites following a number of notable performances this season in the UEFA Europa League.
Chelsea got the game underway but it was Hodgson's side that took the intiative after just four minutes of play when Zoltan Gera fired the ball past Cech to give the Whites an early lead.
Paul Konchesky created the opportunity for Gera from the left flank, breaching Chelsea's defence with a well timed overlapping run down the wing. Fulham's left back delivered a dangerous cross from the by-line which rebounded off Zamora to Gera, positioned with his back to goal on the six yard line. The Hungarian then produced a sublime overhead kick to beat Cech before celebrating in front of Fulham's ecstatic travelling suporters.
The home side's response was a sustained bout of pressure but for all their possession during the opening twenty minutes Fulham's defence held firm. The home side's greatest threat came in the form of Drogba, whose long range efforts from the left flank saw Schwarzer produce two fine saves early on.
As the half hour mark approached Ancelotti's team looked to stamp their authority on the game with some quick, incisive passages of passing play through midfield. However, for all their impressive build up play Chelsea lacked a cutting edge in the final third. Fulham's defensive play was impressive. The Whites were well organised, calm under pressure and evidently more than comfortable throughout the first half.
The game was held up after 30 minutes when John Terry remained grounded after an aerial collision just as Chelsea appeared to be gathering momentum. When play resumed the balance of the play shifted back in Fulham's favour.
Yet again Konchesky threatened from the left with two dangerous crosses in quick succession before Dempsey forced Cech into a fingertip save with an attempted lob over the keeper from 16 yards. Since Gera's opener Dempsey's effort was the best attempt on goal at both ends during the first half.
As half time approached Chelsea attacked from the flanks but Fulham retained their lead with some fine defensive play inside their own area. Chris Smalling made two fine clearances in the final minutes of the first half before John Pantsil denied Drogba with a superb last ditch sliding tackle.
During three minutes of added time Chelsea were awarded a succession of free kicks inside Fulham's half but all deliveries into a congested penalty area were swiftly dealt with by Hodgson men as the Whites went into the break with a 1-0 lead after a fine first half performance.
Both teams remained unchanged for the second period and Hodgson's team almost doubled their lead immediately following the restart. A poor back pass to Cech was intercepted by Zamora whose strike on goal was well saved by the keeper at close range.
At the other end Fulham's central defensive pairing of Smalling and Hughes were outstanding as Chelsea attacked in waves. Ancelotti's men delivered from the flanks into the danger zone at every opportunity and as the pressure mounted on Fulham, Hodgson's defence stood tall.
Chris Baird was booked for a challenge on Mikel on 55 minutes before Lampard failed to find a finishing touch in front of goal as the ball rolled along Fulham's goal line.
On the hour mark Schwarzer produced a world class save to deny Drogba's goal bound strike from the right hand side of the area. The home crowd were growing increasing frustrated as Fulham's lead remained intact thanks to several crucial block tackles inside the penalty area.
Both managers made defensive substitutions after 65 minutes. Ancelotti replaced Ferreira with Ivanovic whilst Hodgson introduced Etuhu for Pantsil (injured) with Baird switching to right back.
Further attacking changes for both sides followed with twenty minutes remaining. Sturridge replacing Mikel for the home side whilst Andy Johnson made a welcome return to action in place of Gera.
After 72 minutes Chelsea drew level through Drogba. A deep cross from the right-hand side found the striker at the far post and Drogba headed across goal and past Schwarzer.
Two minutes later Chelsea took a 2-1 lead when Smalling failed to keep a cross from agonisingly crossing the goal line. After defending so impressively for over 70 minutes it was a tough blow for the Whites to concede two goals in as many minutes.
The home side grew in confidence during the later stages of the game as Hodgson made a further attacking change, introducing Riise for Duff on the right flank. In the final minutes of play Riise played a superb cross in from the right but Cech was alert to the danger and saved on the six-yard line.
Fulham went in search of an equaliser in the final minutes of play but could not find a way past Chelsea's back line and the home side retained their lead and took all three points from Monday afternoon's West London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Fulham's final fixture of the year may have ended in defeat but 2009 has been the most successful year in the Club's history and Fulham's travelling supporters will be proud of Fulham's performance at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

Clara's War: One Girl's Story of Survival (Hardcover)
This heart-stopping story of a young girl hiding from the Nazis is based on Clara Kramer's diary of her years surviving in an underground bunker with seventeen other people.
Clara Kramer was a typical Polish-Jewish teenager from a small town at the outbreak of the Second World War. When the Germans invaded, Clara's family was taken in by the Becks, a Volksdeutsche (ethnically German) family from their town. Mrs. Beck worked as Clara's family's housekeeper. Mr. Beck was known to be an alcoholic, a womanizer, and a vocal anti-Semite. But on hearing that Jewish families were being led into the woods and shot, Beck sheltered the Kramers and two other Jewish families.
Eighteen people in all lived in a bunker dug out of the Becks' basement. Fifteen-year-old Clara kept a diary during the twenty terrifying months she spent in hiding, writing down details of their unpredictable life—from the house's catching fire to Mr. Beck's affair with Clara's neighbor; from the nightly SS drinking sessions in the room above to the small pleasure of a shared Christmas carp.
Against all odds, Clara lived to tell her story, and her diary is now part of the permanent col-lection of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Praise For…
"This vividly detailed and taut narrative is a fitting tribute to the bravery of victims and righteous gentiles alike."
-Publishers Weekly
"A superlative memoir of survival. . . . Few wartime memoirs convey with such harrowing immediacy the evil of the Nazi genocide. . . . Her book is a model documentary."
-Daily Telegraph (London)
"Utterly compelling. At times, the tension is as high as in any thriller designed to stop your heart."
-John Clare, The Sun-Herald (Australia)

Who needs a kiss?? 2 Attachment(s) My sister sent this picture of my two and a half year old colt, Khade, while I'm away at work. It's been dubbed "Khisses by Khade". :-D Thought I would share his loving for anyone needing a horsey kiss! |
That's a very cute pic. I could always use a horsey kiss! He's sure super handsome by the way! Love Arabian horses! |
Me too! I love horse kisses :) |
Thanks! He's such a darling! :-D |
Now see, I'm a party pooper. I hate horse kisses. I don't want a horses face in mine, thank you very much. |
It can be bad, especialky with nippy ones. This guy used to be horrible. I can't help kissing noses though.It's some weird affliction I have... http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...effroxyx02.jpg |
I LOVE horse kisses! Their muzzles are so velvety and soft and smells good. I bet mine get kissed pretty much every day of their lives. :-) I'm always kissing the side of their muzzle. Yeah, my Mustang, previously owned by a cowboy, thought I was really weird at first, but now I think he likes it. He just may not want to admit it. :lol: He didn't like hugs at first either! |
Mine are extreme cuddle bugs. :lol: |
i Love Horse Kisses!!! |
I kiss my horse more than she kisses me.... then again I think she was trained not to put her face near a human's. still, I'm trying to teach her "kiss" on command. She is, however, more interested in the treat than a kiss. |

An eclectic mix of music is coming to Burrell Park in Carmi at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26.
The Deep Roots Festival is presenting A Saturday In The Park, featuring Carmi native Rob Endicott, who will be playing a mix of jazz and blues, along with members of The House Band, which will also be on hand to play a set of funk music.
An eclectic mix of music is coming to Burrell Park in Carmi at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26.
The Deep Roots Festival is presenting A Saturday In The Park, featuring Carmi native Rob Endicott, who will be playing a mix of jazz and blues, along with members of The House Band, which will also be on hand to play a set of funk music.
Starting the evening will be Mark Rogers with special guests, who will kick things off with acoustic music. The event is free, and people are welcome to bring picnics, coolers, blankets and lawn chairs.
Rob was born and grew up in Carmi. He began playing the cornet in third grade at the age of 9, and studied both the trumpet and cornet privately in Evansville, Ind., through grade school and high school. Rob received a bachelor's degree in music from the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana (studying with Ray Sasaki), followed by a master's in music from the Juilliard School of Music in New York City (studying with Mark Gould). He freelanced for several years in and around the New York and Connecticut area and spent a year in The Netherlands studying with Ed Carroll at the Rotterdam Conservatory and performing with the Rotterdam Symphony in the late '80s, including several recordings and television broadcasts.
An attorney at the Bryan Cave law firm in St. Louis, Mo., Rob remains very active musically, primarily in the jazz and blues genres. He has recorded with the Javier Mendoza Latin Jazz Project and the Jim Stevens Group, and has played with the Johnnie Johnson Band, the Soulard Blues Band, the John Farrar group, Jon Thomas and Friends, Park Avenue Jazz, Tim Green and Anita Rosamond.
He has performed with the Skeet Rogers and the Inner City Blues Band, including opening for such legendary blues acts as Bobby "Blues" Bland and Jerry "the Iceman" Butler. Rob has played at the Sheldon Concert Hall, the Jazz at the Bistro, various jazz and blues festivals (including Taste of St. Louis, Bluesweek, the Big Muddy Blues Festival, the Uncorked Festival in St. Louis and Belleville Days). Rob has played alongside Eric Marshall for nearly a decade in the Voodoo Blues Band, which plays regularly in the St. Louis/Soulard area, frequently backing Roland Johnson, one of St. Louis' premier soul and blues singers.
Eric Marshall, a fellow member of the Voodoo Blues Band will be joining Rob, along with Scott Kittinger on bass, and Tim Mitchell on drums.
Eric graduated from Bradley University in Peoria in 1976 with a Bachelor of Music degree and then completed two years of graduate study at The Washington University in St. Louis. He has been a private piano instructor since that time, primarily out of Tower Music in Fenton. Eric played in the Buffalo Bob and the Bedroom Blues band from 1989-1991. He also had a long running stint with the Park Avenue Jazz group from 1997 to the late 2000's. Eric and Rob play together in the Voodoo Blues Band, Eric having been with the band since its inception in 1997. He also plays with the Rhythm Kings and frequently backs Roland Johnson, one of St. Louis' premier soul and blues singers.
Eric has noted his main musical influences in jazz piano are Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. Eric is a talented classical musician as well.
Mark Rogers has been a fixture on the area music scene for years, playing both electric and acoustic music. Known for his soulful vocals and solid guitar technique, he will be performing original compositions as well as standards.
The House Band is an evolving group of local musicians, which vary from show to show. For A Saturday In The Park, they've chosen to perform a set of funk standards from the seventies, guaranteed to make hips shimmy and feet tap. Those signed on for the performance so far are Mark Doane, Mark Witherspoon, Mike Naney, Todd Lane, Scott Kittinger, Kip Russell, Tim Mitchell, Steve Mallette, Alex Smock and Todd and Teelin Atteberry, with others likely to join in.
The event is part of Carmi's Deep Roots Festival, which aims to bring quality entertainment to town at no charge for the public. The musicians donate their time and talent at no charge. Donations for the event have been provided by Gottzz's, Kays Printing, Greenman Design Studio and the City of Carmi.
The first event in the festival, Burrell's Woods Boogie, drew several hundred people to the park. The next Deep Roots event, BBQ and the Blues, is set for Aug. 23.

When an alleged shoplifter was caught at a New Hampshire Home Depot store, loss prevention staff brought him to the front office to speak with him, which is the normal procedure. As police put it, though, "the subject became agitated" and fled the store: stabbing an employee in the hand with a pair of scissors, and losing police in a high-speed chase that apparently reached 100 MPH.

For example, we've seen an entire Mount Rushmore left to rot and a graffitied giant model of Lemuel Gulliver. In the town of Niigata, you can visit the remains of The Russian Village, a shuttered tourist attraction that once boasted such sights as a recreation of the Cathedral of the Nativity in Suzdal, Russia, fake cars from the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and (what appears to be) a woolly mammoth skeleton, hanging out in the middle of nowhere. Advertisement Advertisement When the Niigata Russian Village opened in 1993, an entrepreneur hoped to attract tourist dollars by importing a little slice of Russia to Japan's west coast. This Russocentric Epcot Center managed to stay open for a decade before the park fell into bankruptcy. After another grand opening in 2002 — that lasted all of six months — the Village was closed permanently, leaving such weird artifacts as a fake taxidermied woolly mammoth behind.From the looks of these photos taken by Ralph Mirebs, plenty of people still visit the Village, but nobody pays the entry fee (such as Vice Magazine, who found employees' costumes up for grabs). I don't know about you, but I find facsimile villages like this pretty fascinating. Cloning geography, for fun and proft. [Via Atlas Obscura and English Russia] Reply14 repliesLeave a reply

Advertisement While I'm sure I mention it in the video, I feel I must reiterate that this is not how contraceptives are supposed to work. If your preferred method of contraceptive is a spinning wall that periodically leaves gaps for a spermatozoon to pass through, you should probably switch to a different brand. Likewise if microscopic little spermatozoa are strong enough to blast a chunk of your protection away, I'd lay off the sex for awhile and possibly offer yourself up for scientific study.All-in-all this is a pleasant little game that leaves itself wide open to some harsh sexual commentary while you play. I imagine the two to four-player local multiplayer must be a real blast.

Maker Camp
The Georgetown Library is now a Maker Camp site! The Maker Camp is sponsored by Make: and Google. From July 7 until August 15 we will be doing exciting experiments and projects every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1-3pm. Children 8 and above and teens are invited to come join the fun every day of the camp or just whenever they are free; there is no registration necessary. And every Friday at 2 p.m. you can join us at the library or at home for a streaming Field Trip to places like Cartoon Network, Lego Land and Jim Henson's workshop! For more information please visit the Maker Camp website or the Georgetown Library.
Week 1: July 7-11
Makers in Motion
Be it by land, sea, or air, makers are always moving, using the things we build to propel ourselves forward with the power of our imaginations. Being a part of Maker Camp means you're on the move as well, and it's no coincidence we'll be launching this awesome summer-long journey from the spaceport to the future, the New York Hall of Science.
Streaming Field Trip Friday to Google Treks at 2 p.m. on July 11.
Week 2: July 14-18
Art and Design
When we make something, we're infusing it with a little bit of ourselves, whether it's a robot or a painting, and this week campers get to try their hands at merging form and function to create things that are beautiful as well as useful. People say it's important to create art for art's sake; at Maker Camp we make for making's sake.
Streaming Field Trip Friday to Cartoon Network Studios at 2 p.m. on July 18.
Week 3: July 21-25
Fun & Games
It wouldn't be summer if we couldn't take a little time to play, and this is the week we devote to making fun. Let's get outside and fly a homemade kite, or build a fort, or invent a new and exciting game to play with the friends we've met at Maker Camp. Whatever the outcome of the game, everyone wins when we make it ourselves.
Streaming Field Trip Friday to Lego in Billund, Denmark at 12 noon and Disney at 2 p.m. on July 25.
Week 4: July 28-August 1
Science & Technology
Makers push the boundaries—where others see roadblocks, we see opportunities to overcome using our imaginations and the tools around us. And if something we need doesn't yet exist, we make it ourselves. As part of Maker Camp, you accept the challenge to look forward, dream of better things, and then figure out how to make them a reality. It's up to every one of us to create the future, and learning how to make is the first step.
Streaming Field Trip Friday to Google's self-driving car team at 2 p.m. on August 1.
Week 5: August 4-8
DIY Music
We may not know the name of the song, but if you hum a few bars, we can probably build an instrument to play it on. At Maker Camp this week, we celebrate music by learning how we can make it ourselves. While building a guitar or an amplifier may seem like something only craftspeople can do, you'd be surprised what you can make with a few parts scrounged from around your home. And once you've made your own instrument, it'll be time to jam with the other campers, and make some noise!
Streaming Field Trip Friday to Blue Man Group at 2 p.m. on August 8.
Week 6: August 11-15
Make: Believe
In a world where the line between reality and fantasy is thinner than a carbon nanotube, making our imaginations come true can be a whole lot of fun. In this final week of Maker Camp, we bring a little Hollywood magic to life, learning about special effects and make-up, and exploring the make in make believe.
Streaming Field Trip Friday to Jim Henson's Creature Shop at 2 p.m. on August 15.

Movie Monday 3/18
Ken picked out Total Recall from the Redbox. This is a remake of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action flick from 1990. This new one stars Colin Farrell as Douglas Quaid, a factory worker living in a dystopian future where chemical warfare has made most of the earth uninhabitable, except for the United Federation of Britain and The Colony (Australia). People travel between the two via a super high speed train that travels through the center of the earth along a tunnel. Douglas commutes to UFOB each day for his job working the assembly line for police robots. He loves his wife but is fed up with his dead-end job (you would be, too, in this depressingly bleak world). He gets lured in by an ad for Rekall, a service that implants fake memories in your brain so that you can have whatever past you dream up for yourself. He chooses secret agent, but the process is aborted when it is discovered that he really was a secret agent in his past. Things get confusing from there, as Douglas is pursued by government agents and police, though he still can't remember this past life they claim he had. This is a very fast-paced movie with plenty of action. The females among us thought it was good but a bit too action-y, but the males (my husband son, and father) all loved the chases and fights. I have to admit that seeing a car chase with floating mag cars was something new! I did enjoy the sci-fi plot, too. Lots of suspense and a pulse-pounding pace kept us all on the edge of our seats.
Have you seen any good movies lately?

Hi Sue, this may be a silly question, but what do you do to nap? I have laid down to rest twice a day every day for 8 months and I can't fall asleep. I don't sleep at night either- it's my biggest problem- bit, if I could at least nap, I'd be getting ahead of the curve. Thanks for the advice!
Elizabethmilo dot comRepliesIt's not at all a silly question! Here are my keys to a good nap - and I fall asleep every single afternoon:
- Warm feet - seriously, I read a study and it really works - put on warm socks at naptime, and it makes you sleepy.
- I take 2 Valerian, a supplement that makes you drowsy - it's very mild, like drinking a cup of chamomile tea - in fact, that's another good idea - a warm cup of chamomile before your nap.
- I lie down at the same time every day, after lunch - the food makes me sleepy and you get used to the routine after a while.
Also, to correct your sleep dysfunction at night, read this post:
My son and I both get sound, deep sleep every night with this approach.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for the reply! I started and stopped valerian last week for the first time (it caused diarrhea), but I think I will experiment with changing my rest times so that I have an hour after lunch to possibly drift off.
Warm feet! Brilliant. Also, your sleep post is SO helpful. I went to the sleep doctor ready to FINALLY try an antidepressant, but we are trying a few more things first.
See: http://elizabethmilo.com/2013/03/22/doctor-doctor-gimme-the-news/
Thanks again!

This might be the next best thing to a personal gnocchi-making lesson: a look at the sticking points most often faced by home cooks. Some problems are fixable, but sometimes the quest for perfection demands a do-over.
- You don't have a food mill or a potato ricer. Try a box grater, or even coarsely mash the potatoes. But be sure to work air into them (with a fork), which will keep the gnocchi dough from being too dense.
- The pile of potato is lumpy. You didn't fully grind, rice or grate the potatoes. Run them through the mill/ricer again, as long as the potatoes are still warm.
- The uncooked gnocchi developed a skin. You didn't cover the initial log of dough or the formed gnocchi with a clean dish towel. A barely perceptible exterior is okay; a skin you can see or feel might make the gnocchi a bit tough.
- Frozen gnocchi stuck together. You didn't freeze them first on a baking sheet, not touching each other, until firm. Just drop the frozen mass of gnocchi into boiling water to bring them back.
- The potatoes are wet or soggy. Boiled potatoes can take on too much moisture. Some cooks say that boiling them skin-on helps eliminate that problem and enhances the potato flavor. Drain them well, cut them open and allow for thorough drying. But use them while still somewhat warm, if you can. Baked potatoes need to be cut open lengthwise to allow steam to escape.
- The cooked potatoes are cold. They are usable, but warm and dry potatoes yield a fluffier mixture. You can try reheating the potatoes in the oven, but you run the risk of drying them out too much.
- An added vegetable puree has adversely affected the dough. Next time, try a vegetable powder instead.
- The cooking water got cloudy with the first batch. The gnocchi had excess flour on them. Boil a fresh pot of salted water. Use a pastry brush to remove excess flour before the gnocchi go in.
- The cooked gnocchi look a little fuzzy on the outside and have lost some shape definition. Too little flour was used, or they have cooked too long. Don't wait for them all to float to the surface; once four to six of them appear, retrieve all of the gnocchi from the cooking water.
- The gnocchi stayed at the bottom of the pot for several minutes. You might have added too many at once, or the water had not come to a full boil. Also, if you started with frozen homemade gnocchi — which is okay — they will require a longer cooking time.
- The baked/boiled potatoes never achieved the right consistency. Cooking instructor Giuliano Hazan says they "should neither be too waxy nor too starchy." Sometimes the moisture/starch content of a potato will be different, and not great for making gnocchi, at the beginning and end of the potato-growing season. Some cooks say old potatoes are better for making gnocchi. Idaho, russet and Yukon Gold are the most popular varieties to use. Bake them until a paring knife goes in easily.
- The dough is sticky. If you have added egg, it might have been over-incorporated. Start over, using a sifter to deliver the flour gradually. Or the weather and humidity might be a factor. Some cooks switch to alternative gnocchi recipes — ricotta instead of potato — in the summer.
- The exterior of the potato flesh is tough, and/or there are gaps between the flesh and potato skins. The potatoes are overbaked and too dried out.
- The initial, fat log of dough is firm, not shaggy, inside. You might have incorporated too much flour in the mix.
- The dough in rope format is smooth-looking and homogenous. The dough is overworked, which results in tougher, denser gnocchi. When you roll the dough into thin ropes again, spread your fingers and start at the center of the dough portion, rolling and gently working out toward the ends. A few cracks are okay.

Here is the Taylor Swift Today Show video from Tues. Feb. 14, 2012. Watch the full interview by NBC's Jenna Bush Hager with the multi-Grammy winning singer-songwriter. She discussed a range of topics including the maturing of her music as well as the forthcoming big screen animated film adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic children's book "The Lorax" of which she is one of the voice actors in an all-star cast.
Article continues below.
Having risen to international fame as a teenager and the recipient of numerous awards including Grammy Awards as well as Academy of Country Music Awards, she reflected upon what maturing as an artist, at age 22, means to her, saying, "I'll never have the moment where I'm like, 'I'm a woman, now, guys, I'm only going to write dark songs and I'm going to dance in my bra all the time. That's not really me."
She also talked about the Dr. Seuss books, and their influence upon her. "I think I was very inspired with what Dr. Seuss was able to do with words," she said.
The movie, The Lorax, will be released in theaters on March 2, 2012 and additionally features the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, Betty White, Ed Helms, Rob Riggle and Jenny Slate.
Watch the full interview below.
