Town in South Africa. He is also director of the Medical Research
Council/University of Cape Town Research Unit for Exercise Science and
Sports Medicine at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa in
Newlands. Noakes was awarded a doctorate in science (DSc) in 2002, the
highest degree awarded by the University of Cape Town. Publishing the
first scientific article on exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is
considered among his greatest achievements.
Noakes is a veteran of more than 70 marathons and ultramarathons, and
his book Lore of Running (Human Kinetics, 2003) is considered a
classic by serious distance runners. In addition, Noakes is an editorial
board member for many international sport science journals and a former
president of the South African Sports Medicine Association. In 1996, he
presented the prestigious J.B. Wolfe Memorial Lecture at the American
College of Sports Medicine's annual meeting. In 1999 he was elected as
one of 22 founding members of the International Olympic Committee's
Olympic Science Academy. The National Research Foundation of South
Africa considers Noakes an A-rated scientist, and in 2008 he received
the Order of Mapungubwe (Silver) from the president of South Africa.

According to the World Health Organization, some 10 per cent of couples in the West experience difficulty conceiving and, among those who undergo infertility treatment, some 1.6 per cent now participate in IVF.
Judging by some of the media headlines, you'd think the early low success rates have finally been sorted, and that women using IVF can have babies virtually at will. However, the reality is a far different scenario. The rates of success remain low - only 22 per cent of couples undergoing IVF end up with a live baby - while issues concerning its safety continue to multiply.
These questions surfaced again recently, with publicity about TV personality Paul Merton's wife, Sarah Parkinson, who this year died of breast cancer, and Liz Tilberis, former editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, who died of ovarian cancer in 1999. Both women were convinced their disease was caused by their efforts to conceive by IVF. Both had gone through several treatment cycles, involving high levels of female hormones.
Although the media brushed such concerns aside, the fact remains that IVF is still one vast clinical experiment. All the various varieties of IVF have been unleashed upon millions of men and women with virtually no proper studies conducted and little understanding of the risks it places on either mother or child. Indeed, every fresh discovery - and now genetically modified hormones are the latest wrinkle (see box, p 3) - is rushed into the clinic without sufficient experimental studies to back it up.
No less a figure than Lord Robert Winston himself, one of the pioneers of IVF and a member of the team that produced the test-tube 'miracle' in 1978, has recently spoken out publicly on the potential risks of the procedure, calling for better child follow-up and a fresh approach to IVF regulation.
So, 25 years on, we still have to ask: how safe is IVF to either mother or child?
How it works
In the most basic type of IVF procedure - where eggs from the mother and sperm from her partner are used - doctors give the woman drugs to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are then removed through some guided technique such as ultrasound. A sample of semen is gathered from the partner, and used to fertilise the eggs in a laboratory dish. Up to three of the resultant healthy embryos are then placed in the woman's womb, on the (unproven) grounds that the more that are allowed to develop, the greater the likelihood that one will make it to term.
Pharmaceutical stimulation of the ovary is now the central plank of assisted reproduction. The technique essentially depends on giving multiple, powerful drugs that cause the ovaries to pump out as many mature eggs as possible.
The most dangerous potential complication is something known as 'ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome' (OHSS), which affects nearly 1500 women a year in the UK, or 6 per cent, of the nearly 24,000 a year who undergo IVF. Even MIMS, the UK doctors' drugs 'Bible', warns that OHSS is a potentially fatal side-effect of fertility drugs, and that all patients undergoing ovulation induction are at risk. The syndrome can lead to life-threatening dehydration, massive fluid accumulation in the chest and abdomen, blood-clotting disorders and damage to the kidneys.

Six new part-time police officers were hired by the town at the Grand Island Town Board meeting on Feb. 4.
On the recommendation of Grand Island Police Department Officer in Charge Christopher Soluri, the board hired six part-time police officers at grade 5, step A on the non-union salary schedule, effective Feb. 5.
The list of new officers includes three Islanders: Albert Liberatore, Thomas Dewey and Thomas Doctor. Michael Haynes and Lee Richard, both of Tonawanda, and Lisa Marrone of Niagara Falls were also hired.
Also at the meeting, the board made seven appointments to the Community Emergency Response Team, with terms to expire Dec. 31, 2013: Dorothy Bitner (Traffic Safety Advisory Board), Michael Duff (ham radio coordinator), Kevin Koch (chief, Grand Island Fire Co.), Nicole Gerber (emergency services), Christopher Soluri (officer in charge, Grand Island Police Department), and Stephen Stouter (chair, CERT leader), with Councilman Richard Crawford as liaison to the Grand Island Town Board.
The board held three public hearings to take citizen input. One concerned a bond resolution for an increase and improvement of the Park Place/Whitehaven Farms Sewer Improvement Area. Metzger Civil Engineering prepared a revised map, plan and report for the construction of the sewer improvements, according to the resolution. The improvements will consist of installation of approximately 1,235 feet of 18-inch gravity sanitary sewer along Whitehaven Road, the replacement of a manhole at the intersection of Whitehaven and Harvey roads, the routing of the existing 12-inch force main into the first manhole at Bonnywoods Crossing, and the abandonment of the existing force main, as well as other improvements. Increases in manpower and material has resulted in an increase of the estimated maximum cost from $181,129 to $300,000.

AT&T Cotton Bowl Records
At four hours and 19 minutes, tonight's AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic was the longest in Classic history. The previous record was three hours and 47 minutes in the 2003 Classic between LSU and Texas.
The combined 101 passing attempts by Missouri (44) and Oklahoma State (57) are the most combined passing attempts in Cotton Bowl history. The previous record was 84 by Oklahoma (49) and Texas A&M (35) in the 2013 Classic.
The combined 41 points in the fourth quarter is a Cotton Bowl record for combined points in any quarter.
Sanford Trophy Winner (Offensive MVP) - Missouri RB Henry Josey
Missouri junior Henry Josey is a comeback tailback.
After suffering a season-ending injury in 2011 that would also sideline him for the next year, Josey has solidified his return to form, tallying three touchdowns and 92 yards in the 2014 edition of the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic to claim the J. Curtis Sanford Offensive MVP award.
Josey's three touchdowns Friday night at AT&T Stadium matched a career high and leave him with 16 for the season. He becomes one of only five players with three or more rushing touchdowns in the Classic.

Clear interface. Clients for Mac, iOS, and Android, as well as Windows and Windows Phone. Can fetch any file from a PC. Excellent photo presentation with slideshows and tagging.
Not a share target for Windows 10 apps. Storage offerings shrinking.
Bottom Line
OneDrive, the default online storage and syncing service for Windows 10 and Office 365, offers a wealth of powerful features, as well as apps for more platforms than any of its competitors.
OneDrive has gone through many changes and names over the years. The service has been known as SkyDrive, Live Mesh, FolderShare, and other things since its birth. Its functionality has morphed to a point of slick usablity, reliability, and a rich feature set. Most recently, Microsoft announced that it would downgrade storage limits starting some time in early 2016 (details below). Nevertheless, Microsoft's cloud-storage and file-syncing offering continues to improve, despite the smaller storage allotments. OneDrive includes attractive Web and mobile interfaces (now with offline capability), music streaming, shared desktop-folder syncing, real-time coauthoring in Office, notifications of others' edits, and full-document searching in shared files. The service is also deeply integrated with Windows 10, which sees it as just another file folder.
Similar Products
Microsoft's online backup and syncing service is still very flexible and cross-platform capable, with syncing and access apps not only for PCs, but also for Macs, Androids, iOS devices, and Windows Phones. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office 2016 (both the installed and online versions) and includes rich photo presentation. Apple's competing iCloud is only available for Apple devices. And while iCloud Drive and Google Drive now make stuff stored in that cloud service available on the Web, OneDrive tops that by even making PC files that you didn't specifically upload available. For all this power and flexibility—not to mention eminently attractive and usable interface, OneDrive remains a PCMag Editors' Choice.
Like Apple iCloud, OneDrive serves a lot of functions. If you just want access to documents or media files, it offers simple online storage accessible from the Web. If you want the same set of files replicated on multiple PCs, it provides folder syncing. For users of Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Phone, it backs up device settings, including things like lock-screen and desktop-background images and email logins. Because of this diversity of function, there are several different cross-sections from which you can view the service—by type of data, client, or function. The data types include documents, photos, video, music, or settings. The clients include computer, mobile, and Web, and the functions are things like syncing, viewing, playing, and simple storage. Let's take a look at the service from these various angles.
Your OneDrive Account
Anyone can get a free OneDrive account—well, anyone who's created a Microsoft account, which includes everyone who's ever signed up for a Hotmail, Live, or Outlook.com account. Free users get 5GB free storage space (reduced from 15GB in 2016), but if you're a longtime OneDrive account holder (since April 21, 2012, or earlier), you get an extra 10GB free. This compares with 1GB free for iCloud, 2GB for Dropbox, and 15GB for Google Drive. Office 365 users get an extra terabyte for their $6.99-per-month subscription, and anyone can add 50GB to OneDrive for $1.99 per month. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and even inexpensive tablets come with 1TB included. And you can get significantly more free storage through Bing Rewards and referrals. Here's a summary of the pricing compared with that of the other services:
Device Syncing
Microsoft likes to refer to OneDrive as a "device cloud." With Windows 10 PCs and Windows Phones, the moniker makes sense. The service can sync settings and apps on those types of devices, while clients for iOS, Android, and Mac OS X give users of those devices access to the files stored in OneDrive's online folders.
Like iCloud for iPhones and iPads, OneDrive lets smartphone users—with iPhones or Androids running the service's app as well as Windows Phones—automatically upload photos (and videos) taken with the phone's camera to OneDrive's camera roll. This way, the photos are quickly available for viewing online, in a OneDrive folder on a PC, in a Windows 10 PC's Photos app, on the Web, or in any other OneDrive app you have installed. In the OneDrive Web interface, you can view the photos as a slideshow, and even see a map of where they were taken along with EXIF camera info. Apple's iCloud and Google Drive can also show synced photos on the Web, but without map or EXIF data.
Another service in the realm of device syncing is the ability to sign into your account and reproduce a previous machine you've set up—color and background themes, social and email accounts, user photo, browser favorites and history, and even apps. OneDrive accomplishes this for both Windows 8.x and Windows 10 PCs and Windows Phones. But the service goes even further, by allowing third-party apps to take advantage of your cloud storage. Apps and sites can even use the service for single sign-on with your permission.
Folder and File Syncing
OneDrive offers another desktop computer-centric function—file and folder syncing. This convenience is similar to what you get with Dropbox and SugarSync. In the past, Microsoft had separate storage and syncing services. The joining of online storage and syncing into one cloud service is a refreshing simplification of a previously somewhat confusing set of systems.
OneDrive syncing on computers differs from the earlier Mesh in that you can't designate any old folder you want to be synced, only those under the OneDrive main folder. But Microsoft has made it possible for these synced folders to look less sequestered in the OneDrive world, by using Windows' Libraries. It also adds a truly cool feature called Fetch—more about that in a moment.
The desktop clients for OneDrive syncing run on Windows Vista through Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later. They're quick to install, with a setup wizard that lets you create an account if you don't already have one. It then shows how your OneDrive folder will appear in Windows Explorer (or Finder), with its little blue cloud icon instead of the traditional yellow folder icon. Setup also places a cloud icon in your system tray, from which you can open your synced folder or change settings.
When you place a photo, document, or other item in the created OneDrive folder, it automatically appears in any of your other OneDrive clients on any of your other computers. You can even share a whole folder, but to coedit documents in the online versions of Office applications you have to share individual files.
For a quick test, I went over to my Windows 8.1 PC and created a new folder in the OneDrive app, which appeared seconds later in a Windows 7 machine's OneDrive folder that I had set up. Including OneDrive in Windows Explorer is incredibly helpful because you can save work from any application to your cloud storage directly, without having to go to a website.
Windows 10 and Mobile Clients
With Windows 10, OneDrive becomes more of a built-in capability. Its separate modern app version is gone, which makes sense, as it pretty much duplicated the Web view of OneDrive. In the new OS, you see OneDrive in the File Explorer. In Windows 10, you can choose which OneDrive folders are synced or have everything synced. Results in Cortana searches for files now include OneDrive files, and the new Groove Music service can stream any music files you upload to OneDrive. One disappointment for me, however, is that standard apps like Photos don't offer OneDrive as a share target, while third-party services like Facebook and Twitter do.
OneDrive is built into Windows 8.x, Windows 10 and Windows Phone, as long as you've signed into a Microsoft account. But what if you use other technology platforms? OneDrive includes syncing and file-access apps for not only Windows 7 and 8, but for Mac OS X, iOS, and Android. For other mobile platforms such as Blackberry, a mobile Web interface is available, and for desktop access when you're not at your own computer, the full-feature Web app is available.
Mobile apps for OneDrive have made the jump beyond the smartphone: Apple Watch and Android Wear versions are now available, which let you do things like cycle through recent photos on the watch face. As mentioned, there's no more modern Windows app for tablet use—instead, OneDrive is built into the File Explorer and share panels. And of course there's always the Web interface.
The mobile apps let you not only view anything stored up in your OneDrive, but also upload photos and share anything stored via the cloud to anyone with an email address or Facebook account. They even can show photos grouped by tag subject.
I tried out mobile access to OneDrive on my iPhone 5 and an Android Samsung Galaxy S5. The OneDrive apps are nicely designed, clearly showing my cloud folders, and even letting me view photos and documents (even spreadsheets and PDFs) within the app. They also let me share anything in the folders via an email link (with view only or edit permissions), or to copy items to the phone's cut-and-paste clipboard. You can now also designate files for offline viewing and editing.
Happily, Microsoft has added a search capability to the mobile apps. All of the mobile apps also now let you automatically upload any photos (and optionally videos) shot on the device using the "Automatically upload to OneDrive" option. You can also now watch videos on the phone. One cool thing was the ability to upload photos from the iPhone's camera roll or other galleries, marking multiple folders for upload. But the fetch feature to find any files on the PC signed into the same OneDrive account isn't available in the mobile clients.
Another OneDrive option for mobile users is the collection of Office Mobile apps—Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile, and OneNote. These are available for Android, iOS, and Windows 10 (both desktop and mobile), and on the Web. In fact, the Web version of OneDrive offers a big dropdown menu of tiles for all these online apps. Documents you create in these are be automatically synced to all your OneDrive access points.
OneDrive on the Web and Fetch
Web access to all your cloud data is one thing you don't get in Apple's iCloud. The Web app is linked with other Microsoft online services through a top switcher menu that includes Mail (either Outlook.com or Hotmail), People (the social network-aggregator app), and Calendar. It's a very fast and clean interface, with a left panel of menu choices including Files, Recent docs, Shared, Groups, and PCs.
This last item may be the most interesting: For PCs you've installed the desktop client on and authorized, you can pull any files using Fetch, even if the files aren't in the OneDrive folder. When I chose the PCs option from the Web interface's left rail, I was greeted by a message saying "Security check! To connect to this PC we need you to enter a security code. This extra step only takes a minute and will help protect your computer from unauthorized access." When I clicked the "Sign in with security code" link and completed a partial email address, an email to an associated address was sent with a code.
Once I jumped all the security hurdles, I could browse the entire disk of the target PC. I could download any files found there, or upload them to OneDrive (which feels a little odd, since it seemed like I was browsing OneDrive). I could also view all the files' pertinent properties in a right-side panel—type, size, and dates created and modified. The Fetch feature is a great idea, though it seems to be only available in a very limited set of circumstances. You're probably better off just saving files you think you may need remote access to your OneDrive cloud folders.
Media Support
Microsoft's cloud service handles all the most common types of files you might want to store in the cloud, including documents, music, photos, and video. Here's a rundown of how each is handled:
Documents. Not only can you download and upload document files, as you can with iCloud's Web interface, you can actually view and edit them online with OneDrive using the integrated Office Online apps. In fact, OneDrive serves as the main folder and file location for all your Office Online documents, just as Google Drive now does for Google Docs. Just as in Google Docs, multiple authors can edit documents at the same time. An icon shows who's typing where, and the document contents are updated live. Office Online also offers better document formatting fidelity than you get with Docs.
I had no problem viewing Microsoft file formats like Word Documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations using the online Office apps. I could also view PDFs, and Windows knew to open a ZIP file on the desktop, showing the archive's contents in a folder. Office 365 applications have OneDrive baked in, too, as the default save location. This is pretty convenient when you want to work on a file at home that you started at work.
Music. With the launch of Groove, Microsoft's streaming music service that replaces Xbox Music, OneDrive now gets the ability to stream any songs you upload to it from the Web. The iTunes in the Cloud piece of the iCloud service performs this feat for Apple devices and computers, while Google Play Music does so for the Android folks. OneDrive lacks the "match" service those services offer, which gets you high-quality copies of your music without having to upload them.
Photos and Video. OneDrive does a pretty impressive job of displaying photos and videos in its Web interface. A beta feature even auto-tags images the way Flickr does, grouping, for example, all photos of dogs, crowds, or buildings by tag. You can share and tag photos by yourself, too, and when you do share, unlike in the past, the recipient doesn't have to sign into a Microsoft account. You can also specify read and edit rights.
When you share a video from OneDrive, the cloud service transcodes it on the fly using MPEG-DASH to match the capabilities of the receiver's bandwidth. This way if you share to someone's phone, he or she won't download an unnecessarily large file that would be prone to pause the video for buffering. I tried sharing a video to a phone with just three bars of LTE connectivity, and my test movie played smoothly and clearly without interruption.
OneDrive also now includes OCR, which extracts text from images. If you save a photo with text in it to your cloud storage, the Info panel on its OneDrive page includes an Extracted text area, which you can click to cut and paste anywhere. Google Drive's help talks about OCR, but I couldn't find it in the live service; perhaps it's another casualty of feature culling. And forget any OCR in iCloud or Dropbox.
Using OneDrive From Other Windows Modern Apps
What makes OneDrive an integral part of the Windows ecosystem is the fact that any Windows modern-style app can take advantage of its cloud storage. Microsoft has made it really simple for developers to do this, as a Windows blog post described. For example, the FotoEditor app, a sort of Instagram without the social networking, let me save my distorted image to OneDrive. It also let me open photos for editing from my cloud folders. We'll definitely see more extensive use of OneDrive in third-party apps as the Window Store fills out, particularly those that need to use app state and settings syncing.
One Place in the Cloud for Your Digital Life
Microsoft's cloud solution has come together nicely in OneDrive, combining file syncing with online backup, and cloud storage. Cross-platform support for Macs, iOS devices, and Android devices is a smart move on Microsoft's part, too. That's not to say that there aren't other great choices out there, however; Google Drive is also an excellent service, especially for those who are committed to Google's online ecosystem and for its more-generous 15GB free storage. And Box, another PCMag Editors' Choice, excels in third-party service integration. But as the only cloud service that lets you fetch any file from a PC you've set up, and for its integration with Office and third-party apps, folder syncing, and multitude of platform options (including mobile devices and a top-notch Web interface), Microsoft OneDrive remains an impressive Editors' Choice for cloud storage and syncing.

below is from a Scammer! Some of the emails
may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same
thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money
order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will
ask you to send them back the difference in money. A
couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and
the bank will take it out of your account. This scam
can be set up several ways.
key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

Why Eclipse IDE?
If you're reading this, you're most likely a Java programmer, and you know how finicky Java can be at times. Missed import statements, forgotten variable declarations, omitted semicolons, garbled syntax, typos—all these problems will cause the Java command-line compiler, javac, to cough and display pages of annoying error messages. The error messages tell you that javac knows what the error is but doesn't fix the problem. javac can't fix the problem as it isn't an editor. That makes long streams of errors scrolling off the page an all-too-common experience for Java developers, and leaves them with the feeling that Java is too prickly about what can go wrong. To change all that, you can use an integrated development environment (IDE), which will not only catch errors before you try to compile, but also suggest solutions. Java is badly in need of a good IDE, and a number of candidates are available, but the premiere Java IDE these days is Eclipse.
Open Source IDE:
If you closely follow open source or Java programming, you should have heard the buzz about Eclipse. Eclipse is an extensible software development environment comprising an IDE (Integrated development environment – It is an all-in-one tool for writing, editing, compiling, and running programs) and a plug-in system to extend it.
It is written primarily in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java. And by means of various plug-ins, it can be used to develop applications in other languages as well, including C, C++, COBOL, Python, Perl, PHP, and others. Eclipse employs plug-ins in order to provide all of its functionality on top of (and including) the runtime system. The runtime system of Eclipse is based on Equinox – an OSGi standard compliant implementation.
Plugin Extension in Eclipse IDE: Read more…
Nothing is hard to learn. Just need to make time and have the right passion.
Everyone has a worthy skill. If you don't feel it, you haven't recognised it.
It's humane to forget what was learnt a while ago:) Only makes it easier to revise when you need to.
Practice doing things in your own stiff timelines. It will help a great deal to fit in others.
Execution of a plan is more important than the plan itself.
Have good spirit, it will put others to rest. Besides it won't help having anything else.
Well, Have fun! :)

If a fragrance is judged by its popularity, then the citrus essence of lemon wins first in its class. Yet as anyone who likes to cook or eat tasty foods can attest, there's more to lemon's delight than mere fragrance. Like everybody's favorite extrovert, lemon can bring out the best in practically any food.
But the pretty yellow fruits aren't the only source for that fresh taste and aroma; a whole world of flavor is available in lemon-scented herbs. These aromatic herbs excite the senses with exotic lemon fragrance and fabulous flavor. Lemon verbena, lemongrass, lemon balm, lemon basil and lemon thyme sizzle in stir-fries, brighten casseroles, mediate marinades, add zest to beverages, and enhance the flavor of baked good and desserts. And this medley for lemon lovers delivers enticing lemon flavor without the sour bite that lemons from a tree sometimes add.
Lemon fragrance and flavor aren't the only attributes these herbs have in common. With the exception of lemon thyme, which prefers light, dry soil, most of these herbs grow best in fairly rich, well-drained soil that's kept moderately moist. Most benefit from an occasional to frequent pruning of branch tips to encourage more leaf production — in other words, when you snip off fresh sprigs, you're not only indulging yourself, you're doing the plant a favor.
And although they share their lemony appellation, each has its own set of characteristics that makes it unique from garden to table.
Need help in deciding which lemon herbs to grow? Here's an introduction to five of the most popular varieties. Two others worth a mention include lemon-scented geraniums (Pelargonium crispum) and lemon mint (Mentha xpiperita 'Citrata'). But don't stop at one: Grow them all and discover your personal favorites.
Description: Densely tufted grass forms clumps of lime green to bluish-green leaves somewhat coarse in texture. This 3- to 5-foot tender perennial looks great in containers—either outdoors or as a year-round houseplant—or can be used to frame path edges or mixed in the border for architectural impact. USDA Zone 9.
Growing conditions: Best grown in full sun and rich, well-drained soil with ample moisture during the growing season. In climates where temperatures fall below 25 degrees, it can be grown as an annual or wintered indoors as a potted plant or a potted division. Begin harvesting stems when about 1/2-inch thick.
Tasty traits: A standard in Asian cooking with lively lemon flavor and a refreshing bite of ginger. Prepare leaves as you would leeks, stripping off the tough outer leaves and chopping the inner stalks and tender leaves. Makes a wonderful seasoning for stir-fries, curries and other Asian dishes. Add to homemade salsas and marinades, season pork and poultry dishes, or use to spice up your favorite lemonade. The tougher outer leaves can be chopped and brewed with tea.
Description: Hardy perennial growing 2 to 3 feet high with small oval-shaped green leaves and rather unimpressive white flowers in summer. There's also a more striking variegated form with light green leaves splashed in yellow-gold that pairs beautifully with purple sage or pink dianthus. Use in the front of the border, to frame path edges or mixed in container plantings. USDA Zone 4.
Growing conditions: Grows in average, well-drained moist soil in full sun to partial shade. When it comes to staying put, this mint family member is better behaved than some but does have a tendency to spread in fertile soil. Removing flowers before they set seed will also help keep the plant in bounds.
Tasty traits: Nice lemon flavor and scent with a suggestion of mint. Add chopped leaves to soups, stews, salads and poultry and fish dishes. Steep bruised leaves in sun-brewed beverages, thread with vegetables on kabobs, stuff fish or poultry, or cut a pocket in lamb or pork to stuff with fresh sprigs before grilling. Or try it in muffins.
Description: Spreading, low-mounding or erect sub-shrubs growing 6 to 12 inches high. Depending on the variety, the glossy leaves can be lime- to dark-green, sometimes marbled or splashed with silver, gold or cream. Lavender-pink to white flowers appear in summer. Great as a border plant, ground cover or in a container. USDA Zone
Growing conditions: Thrives in a light sandy to gritty soil that retains moisture, but will tolerate clay soil that has been enriched with organic matter to improve drainage. Grow in full sun to light shade where summers are hot. Prune lightly after flowering to help keep plants compact.
Tasty traits: A lemony thyme fragrance with flavor akin to lemon-pepper seasoning laced with thyme. Strip fresh leaves from stem and sprinkle over grilled fish or chicken, buttered corn on the cob, green beans sautéed with almonds, white bean salad with zucchini and olive oil dressing, or toss with potatoes before roasting. Or try it in frittata.
Description: A tender annual growing 2 to 3 feet high. Stems are soft and leaves are pale green, delicate and petite compared to sweet basil. 'Sweet Dani' has a rounded growth habit; 'Mrs. Burns' is more robust with larger leaves than the standard lemon basil. Plant in borders, along walkways, in containers, mingled in the kitchen garden, or any location where you can brush against the plant to release its fragrance as you walk by.
Growing conditions: Best in full sun and rich, moderately moist, well-drained soil. Sow seed in spring after danger of frost has past and nights have warmed and soil temperature has reached 50 degrees. As with other varieties of basil, the leaves of lemon basil will turn black when exposed to temperatures below 38 degrees. Prolong leaf production by pinching out flower spikes as they form.
Tasty traits: Combines the heavenly essence of lemon and fresh basil in its leaves. Add fresh leaves to soups and stews before serving or sprinkle over cooked vegetables. Use on pizza, in sandwiches, over cooked pasta dishes or to dress up desserts. Add a touch of lemon intrigue to fish and chicken or infuse its flavor in dressings and marinades. Or use leaves to make an especially tasty lemony pesto.

HARVEY, LOUISIANA -- I am dissatisfied with the local Dodge Dealership Service Department, your customer service office (outsourced to India), and your warranty service office (also outsourced to India). I am the original owner of a 2004 Dodge Ram. My story is as follows:
On December 18th, 2008, I heard the front U-joint going bad. I called the local Dodge dealership, Ray Brandt Dodge in Harvey Louisiana, and spoke with '**', who said that he was the assistant manager of the service department. I explained that the front U-joint was going bad and asked if I could bring the truck by for him to take a look at it. '**' said that he could not schedule a time for me to bring the truck by before January 05th, 2009.
I asked if the possibility of the U-joint going bad and having the drive shaft fall off wasn't some kind of exigent circumstance that would allow me to be moved up for scheduling. He said only a seat belt problem was considered an emergency. I asked '**' if the U-joint was covered under my warranty. He said that he would not look into that issue until I brought the truck by on January 5th.
I read through the owner's manual and found that, if I was reading the warranty correctly, the U-joint was covered as part of the power train. I called the warranty number in the manual to confirm what I was reading. Apparently you outsource your warranty department to India. The man that answered the call could speak English only marginally but understood what I was saying. He said that the U-joint was NOT covered under my warranty. I read what was written in the owner's manual about the power train to the man but he again said adamantly that the U-joint was not covered.
At this point I asked to speak to a supervisor. The man's communication skills were decreasing rapidly and I believe it is because he wanted me to just go away. He placed me on hold for an extremely long period of time before a man claiming to be a supervisor came on the line. After explaining the situation to the supervisor, the supervisor said the U-joint was not part of the power train and therefore not covered under the warranty.
I read from the owner's manual that the U-joint was listed as part of the power train and was listed as being covered by the warranty. The supervisor put me on hold for an unreasonably long period of time. Again, I believe that this was a ploy to get me to just hang up and go away. The supervisor eventually came back on the line a said that the U-joint was a part of the power train and was covered under the warranty.
By this time I am perturbed. I called the customer service number to inquire if such treatment by Chrysler personnel was acceptable. Again, apparently you outsource your customer department to India. I spoke with another man with only marginally effective English speaking skills. He told me that the ONLY method to file a complaint about anything was to call the local dealer, obtain the name and contact number for the 'District Manager', and make my complaint known to the District Manager.
I called back to Ray Brandt Dodge and the only person to whom that answering assistant would forward my call was the assistant service manager, '**'. Even after I explained what the customer service department told me was the proper method to lodge a complaint, ** refused to provide me with the name and contact number for the District Director. ** said to call the customer service number, which he gave to me. I told him that the number he just gave me was the number that I had just called, the number to India where they told me to call him, **, in order to lodge my complaint with the District Manager.
He laughed when I told him the customer service was outsourced to India and said, "That explains it." He added that the only 'emergency' repairs were for seat belts and transmissions (I don't know if I understand the part about transmissions).
This type of unprofessional conduct by and treatment of customers at the local and corporate level is unacceptable. I was not happy with the local dealer saying he could not even look at an extremely unsafe mechanical problem for almost three weeks.
I was not happy with the warranty department, the 'experts', repeatedly telling me that the part was not covered by the warranty, apparently without even checking anything, anywhere; with their complete willingness to try to stall so I will just give up, hang up, and go away. I was not happy with the customer service department telling me to complain through the local dealer and the local dealer telling me to complain through customer service, leaving me no avenue to forward my complaint. Do you find this conduct/performance acceptable?
A U-joint failure can be an extremely dangerous occurrence. Because of the severity of the problem I went to a general mechanic in my area and paid $229 for him to repair the U-joint that same day. The mechanic confirmed my belief that a U-joint failure can be dangerous. He recited instances where U-joint failures caused wrecks and drive shafts to penetrate into the interior of the vehicle, etc.
Sir, you are failing to provide service at the local or corporate level that a professional organization would provide if they were serious about competing in today's market. I am hard pressed to say anything good about or purchase a Chrysler product after this incident.
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA -- When purchasing my truck from Performance Dodge in Lincoln, Nebraska we found a hole in the passenger seat. They told me at the time they would fix the hole. When I returned to get the seat fixed they tried to convince me to patch the seat. I refused. Even the man who was called in to repair the seat told me it would definitely show, and would not look new.
The service guy tried to get me to let the guy repair the seat, and he would fill my gas tank. I explained that this was a brand new truck with lest than 500 miles on it. That I did not want a patched seat, I wanted my new truck to LOOK new. I told him I thought that is why I was there. The service manager then told me they would have to order the seat cover. I then showed him the damage to the passenger side front door I noticed when I got the truck home. He told me that there was no way to prove that the damage was caused prior to me purchasing the truck a couple of weeks earlier (it should be noted that when I took the truck to Beatrice it was put in storage and not driven).
So at that point I was shocked and felt like he was calling me a liar. But knowing he had no idea how particular my wife and I are when it comes to our vehicles, he would have no idea how much of an insult this was to my wife and I.
I took the truck to a body shop to ask them about the damage. I was told that it appeared the damage was done while the rubber guards used during transport were still on the door edges. The body man explained that if the door would have opened into something without the door guards on, there would be some type of mark. But because the door guards were on, the door just bent, but no mark was left.
I have never owned a Dodge in the past but heard a lot of good things about Dodge, and I really like the looks of the Big Horn. So I decided to give Dodge a try. I was very upset with, and felt that I really screwed up, and was sure I would never buy another.
I have talked with my local dealer (Twin Rivers in Beatrice, Nebraska). ** was very nice to me, and his dealership will be doing all my service work. I have a free oil change at Performance Dodge, but I will not be using it. I feel there is NO reason to return to Performance Dodge… ever.
While purchasing the truck I asked the salesman about a hitch. I was told that installed it would be around $600.00. Of course I told him to forget that. I purchased and installed an after market hitch. Then I learned that the price for the Dodge hitch was no where near $600.00. This upset me because had I known the real price I would have had it installed the day I purchased the truck.
AUBURN HILLS, MICHIGAN -- Okay I recently fell into some money, and the first thing I wanted to do was buy a vehicle. I was already in love with Dodge so I chose them. I bought a 2005 Dodge Durango in 2008. It was the prettiest truck I had ever see. I loved the deep red color, the space it provided and the smooth ride it gave. I bought the truck from a local dealership, and two days later my check engine light was on.
I was like okay, I called the dealership to let them know what was going on. They said that they ran an emissions test and that everything came out clean. Well long story short I came out of pocket 150 dollars because my truck kept cutting off while I was driving it. This was the first problem I had with Dodge. I let this issue go.
Now my second problem is, my truck came with only one key. Why I have no idea. I very rarely drive my and it has less than 100,000 miles on it. Well a couple of days ago I went to go and crank my truck and it crank then turned right back off. I did this three more times, after that the truck completely shut down on me. I was later told that I had a bad key. I'm like a bad key? Yes the truck did not recognize my key anymore.
Now I am not an expert or a mechanic but when a vehicle does that to me that sounds like a manufacturer's mistake. Especially when I have not done or caused any damage to the key or truck myself. So now I am looking at bill of at least 400 to 600 dollars because one key alone is 245 dollars and some change. Dodge, please tell me I did not waste my money on you all. I am tempted to get a lawyer and sue them for all that has gone wrong with this truck.
I have spent over $600.00 on brake repairs and replacements. Stereo has had to be replaced. Had to wait for 3 weeks to get it installed. Back passenger window has had to be repaired. Used the vehicle for a month before the part came in. Paint is coming off side mirror. I traded a 2009 Dodge van in on this Journey and have driven Dodge vans for several years. Very distressed and disappointed! I have had this journey in the Dodge repair dealership at least 6 times in these 2 years. I drive approximately 20,000 miles each year and have never had this kind of problems with a new vehicle. Please advise.
My son has a 2000 Dodge Durango SUV. While driving on the interstate he heard a clunk and asked us in the car behind if we had seen anything fall from his car. Well eventually we had to pull off the road. What had happened was something had hit the fan blade and bent it. We had no idea what this could be.
We had the car towed to a repair shop and upon further investigation we were told that the truck has a condenser fan which sits in front of the engine fan and it is held together with plastic tags, much like the ones that the police use when they run out of metal handcuffs. Now he has to have the condenser fan replace, the fan shroud, the water pump and the fan blade. Why don't they tell you that the cars are put together with junk before you purchase them? I guess, you probably would think twice.
You look all over the web and see complaints against the way Chrysler makes their vehicles. Then you hear about people you know having problems and trying to get their vehicle fixed. Most dealerships will not help out when there is a problem. Most people get told to get a hold of a lawyer because the dealership will not stand behind their product. All these years and the transmissions in Chrysler vehicles have not been fixed. People rely on their cars and trucks to get to work and instead they have to take time from work and then be harassed by dealerships.
Toyota had a problem, sent out a recall and then made a commercial to publicly make an apology. Chrysler just keeps making faulty vehicles because they don't care what happens to the people that buy their product. If you ask me either you make a good product and stand behind it or shut your doors so people don't get suckered into a terrible product.
The front end of the truck shook violently when braking. This started after the dealership fixed the bearing recall at 30k miles. I had the rotors turned then replaced with new ones. I then replaced the tires. I had a front-end alignment done. The problem remained. The dealership told me several times all 4 rotors were warped due to driving through high water. Needed to be replaced and my back brakes are gone and need to be replaced. Hellooooo.
We have had no rain. We are in a drought. My grass crunches under my feet. My husband took the original rotors that came with the truck, to be turned. He then re-installed the rotors. Still shook when braking. The brake pads are good. After removing the rotors again, took a wire grinding wheel attached to a cordless drill and cleaned the hub, rotor on both sides and inside the wheel where everything attaches. Put the wheel back on and the problem is gone.
The Dodge dealership told me the cost to fix the repairs needed were going to be around $1500.00 to $2000.00. My cost with my do-it-yourself hubby - $2.15 for the wire wheel to hook to the drill.... Yeah we splurged and bought the top of the line wire wheel. By the way... The rotors were not warped in the front or the back. And the back brakes are fine. The dealership is giving false information on the needed repairs and charging excessive amounts.
WHITE MARSH, MARYLAND -- On July 30, 2007 I went into New Carrolton Darcars Dodge in MD. I sat down with my sales agent "**" and we look at about 3 different model cars that day. I finally saw the one I really wanted. It was a 07 Dodge Nitro. They had just came out. Everything was going well until we went into the finance department. The director of finance had taken over the sale and was throwing all different suggestions to us on how to "Purchase" our vehicle.
I didn't like the deal too much or the price quotes. Due to a few glitches in my credit, I wasn't able to have the truck in my name alone (things happen) so my co-signer helped me out. We we're told to make strong payments of 595.00 for 6 months straight and we can bring the truck back and refinance. I didn't like what he was saying so he went into his computer and calculated everything on their finance page review for us. I sat there and watched him. He told us that it would be a 5 years contract and for the first 6 months of strong payments it would be a lease.
After we brought it back to refinance after the 6 month period then I could put the truck into my name alone and the payments would come down 100.00. I was told this deal was called "Special financing". So things sound great. We went along with the plan.
Just recently we went back to Dodge Darcars and tried to refinance or trade it in for a smaller vehicle (gas prices and all). The sales agent came back to us and said "Did you know your truck is leased and does not belong to you". I look puzzled and said "No.. it's not leased, we we're told that after 6 months of strong payments we could bring it back and trade it in or refinance the truck for lower payments and that's why we're here".
So the dodge agent told us the full "TRUE" review of the situation. The truck wasn't a purchase. It didn't belong to me, it was leased contract for 39 months. I cannot refinance, there is no such thing as a "special financing", and the Director of finance in New Carrolton, MD was fired a week after I so called "Purchased" my vehicle.
He also told me that Chrysler Financial will start counting the mileage and charging me per MILE after a certain point and after 31 more payments of 595.30 they will take the truck back and my payments will be for nothing. He also said any damage on the vehicle I would be responsible for and I would have to pay Dodge back. He said "you're stuck in this vehicle and there is nothing you can do." The deal was never a purchase. I was LIED to and sucked into a fake deal that was told to me in Fake Dealer terms.
I need to get out of this situation or I will sue. I'm not asking for money. All I want is to get out of this truck, clear my name and start fresh. If the vehicle could be purchased and re-do the contract so that it is a "purchase" not some fake deal just to make a sale then I would keep it. I'm paying for a truck that does not belong to me and so much baggage with it. This is not fair. IF anyone has any ideas and can help me, please help me get out of this or tell me what I can do...

PC Saints Football Takes Part In Elementary School Assembly
Aberdeen, SD
On a day when elementary school students were awarded for their display of sportsmanship, members of the Presentation College Football Program were on hand to recognize their efforts. Saints Head Football Coach Andy Carr and three members of his team took part in a monthly event held at O.M. Tiffany Elementary School in Aberdeen. Each month, the school incorporates a certain trait, such as citizenship, respect, responsibility, and this month, sportsmanship, into their curriculum.
Coach Carr addressed the group of students, faculty, and staff on what sportsmanship means to him and how he employs that in his day to day coaching of the game of football. "It was a great opportunity to spend some time with the kids and discuss how hard work and dedication get us through our weekly routine. They were attentive and enjoyed seeing us there."
Coach also brought along 3 starters from this year's squad. Seniors Cullen O'Brien and Sean Haderlie, along with Junior Stephen Braswell each had an opportunity to address the assembly and share their thoughts on the definition of sportsmanship. "It was fun and the kids definitely paid attention" said Haderlie. "I was glad we were given a chance to speak to them."
Presentation (1-3) returns to action Saturday, 9/29/12, when they host Martin Luther College for Homecoming. Kick off is set for 3:00pm. You can catch the action LIVE on the internet at https://www.ustream.tv/channel/saintsid. You will also be able to hear the play by play through the "Voice of the Saints" Logan Anderson on 107.7 FM or by logging onto dakotabroadcasting.com.
Go Saints!

Two tragedies rock the community
BLACKFOOT—Two separate tragedies have rocked the Blackfoot community the past week and the public is reaching out to help those who have been directly affected by the accidents.
On Wednesday, Noelle Shawver (5) died from a gunshot wound after accidentally being shot while visiting friends at a home on Canal St. in Chubbuck.
Noelle is the daughter of Drew and Stacie (Udy) Shawver from Blackfoot.
While the investigation into the shooting is stilling ongoing, the Chubbuck Police Department has determined that another 5-year old child at the home got ahold of the firearm - discharging it and accidentally shooting Noelle. It's been reported that there were adults in the home when the shooting occurred; however, they were in a different room.
Noelle would have started kindergarten this fall.
Last Saturday night, members of the Joe Pratt family of Blackfoot (and a family friend), were in a crash (on I-86 near Baker City, Oregon) that killed Tanda Pratt (60) and seriously injuring her husband Joe (61); son Todd (30). A family friend traveling with them, Austin Parker (23) from Pocatello, received only minor injuries.
The family was returning from a camping trip at around 10:30 p.m., when Todd, who was driving the pick-up truck and pulling the camper, hit an elk - crashing into the median and rolling the truck and the camper.
Joe, who had the most serious injuries, remains in an induced coma at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Family members report that his ribs and the bones in his face were broken. There does not appear to be any brain damage or serious injury to his heart.
Todd is recovering from neck surgery.
The Pratt family owns and operates Pratt Truck Service in Blackfoot and is well known in the Bingham County Community.
GoFundMe fundraising sites have been set up online for the public to donate to both families.
To help the Shawver family pay for Noelle's funeral expenses go to: www.gofundme.com/cdoj30
To help the Pratt family with medical expenses go to: www.gofundme.com/c952c4.
Funeral services for both Noelle [Shawver] and Tanda [Pratt] are under the direction of Hawker Funeral Home in Blackfoot. For more information go to: www.hawkerfuneralhome.com.

The Right Rake for the Job
Autumn leaves are falling, which means pumpkin donuts and lattes are available at your favorite morning pit stop. And if you own a home, it probably means your weekends now include that annual rite of yardwork passage: raking.
Related: Raking Leaves for Dummies
I lived in NYC for the last 20 years, so it's been a long time since I picked up a rake. Standing in the garden tool section of our local big box hardware store to select one, I was a bit overwhelmed. There are a lot of different types of rakes—a lot. I surely don't need, nor can I buy, them all. So which should I choose? A quick search through my favorite gardening resources provided answers.
When it comes to raking leaves, the leaf rake, also called a lawn rake, is what you need. Sold in varying widths (up to 30″), it has a long handle with tines that fan out in a triangle. The tines are generally made of either metal, plastic, or bamboo. Metal is the most resilient, but perhaps not quite as effective as plastic tines when moving large quantities of leaves, especially if they're wet. Bamboo tines are the most fragile, of course, but are much gentler on plants, if you are raking over groundcovers or beds.
A shrub rake is built very much like a leaf rake. It has a smaller fan of tines, though, to allow it better access between shrubbery, around fencing, and in other tight areas of your landscape.
A bow rake, also called a level head or garden rake, is generally used for heavier materials than leaves. It's great for leveling dirt, mulch, gravel or sand. The tines are made of metal and are shorter and thicker than those of a leaf rake (and spaced more widely). This rake is a workhorse, and something you definitely want in your garage, but you wouldn't want to rake too many leaves with it. It'd be far too heavy and unwieldy for the job.
A hand rake is a smaller version of a shrub rake or bow rake. It has a short handle and is more the size of a trowel. This is what you want to use in and around flowers and smaller plantings. The short handle gives you greater control in those spaces, but be prepared to get down on your knees with it.
A thatch rake is not for raking leaves at all. It's for removing the thatch (a layer of organic material between the green matter and soil surface) from your lawn. It has razor sharp blades for teeth on both sides of the head. One side breaks the thatch up; the other removes it.
Armed with the right rake, I'm ready. Of course, my tiny, newly planted trees may not produce enough leaves to require raking this year. Nevertheless, I'm prepared. And a city girl can dream, can't she?

4 dead in single-car crash in Charlotte
Charlotte police say four men are dead after their car slammed into a utility pole.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Lt. David Sloan says that the accident happened early Friday and is still under investigation.
Sloan says officers think that the car was speeding when the driver lost control of the vehicle, hit a curb and crashed into the pole before landing on its roof.

We are looking for Occupational Therapists. Ideally, the OT would have experience in the education of children.
Occupational therapy at NPH is a school-based position, where the therapist gives individualized attention to children from the special education classroom as well as to some integrated children who have special needs in certain areas. The therapist is in the school during the normal school schedule and the day is broken into approximately five to six 45 minute therapy sessions (all one-on-one therapy).
Therapy, depending on the childs needs, focuses on: gross and fine motor skills, concentration and attention, activities of daily living, basic concepts, memory skills, sensory stimulation, and speech and language therapy. Some of the homes have an occupational therapy classroom at the school, which is filled with materials, art supplies, and games.
The job requires patience and dedication to the children who are being served and a willingness to teacher others how to best serve the needs of these children (both in school and in their home).
