if the screen slid sideways instead of up, and had a full thumbboard underneath it, wider screen, and better contact manager, then it would be an obvious winner.

|razr still rocks (6:07pm est tue dec 20 2005)
razr is beautifully engineered in metal & unlike plastic models, the hinge is bullet proof. as for the dimensions & weight, i often forget i have in my pocket it's spot on to hold when in use length between speaker & microphone a decent size for better call quality. my only gripes are non-expandable memory & screen unuseable in daylight (a big fault).

|razr sucks (12:16am est wed dec 21 2005)
i bought mine a couple months back and it just sucks balls! the first one's battery did not last more than 12 days. i exchanged it for a new one and the keypad did not make any sound. my third one finally worked except the processor is too slow. sometimes it takes me more than 4-5 seconds to hang up my call. i thought startec was a great phone at the time and it was cool looking back then. but razr just looks cool but it just doesn't cut it. – by razr sucks

|cameraphones – yes please (3:55am est wed dec 21 2005)
one of my sporting buddies was recently gunned down along with his wife of one day, his young wife died instantly while my friend, after taking several slugs, thankfully will recover.
the murderers were his wife's father and her brother and at last count the conspiracy to commit 1st degree murder counted 11 members of her family. this was a so called "muslim honour" killing.
the murders were phtographed in the act on cameraphones, and their guilt is beyond any doubt. too bad they don't fry murdering bastards like that in this country.
my friend is now under witness protection, will need to assume a new identity and leave the country. his life is ruined, and i will never see him again.
anyway, cameraphones have some good uses too ! – by emal's buddy

|usb connection problems (11:24pm est tue jan 03 2006)
you need to go into the phone settings and change the usb setting to modem instead of mass storage. xp will reconize it that way… it also states that in the pc studio manual. – by tsg

3 yrs. ago, japan was playing w/ 2 mp camera phones. i just recently got back from tokyo. they are using 5mp video camera cell phones. they basically have free video calls to each other and can link to other phones instantly. i say give the u.s. 3+ more yrs. to catch up on higher-res. cameras and video on our phones. – by shawn
|usb connection problems (2:20am est sat jan 14 2006)
i just got this phone today, and i can not get this thing to connect to the pc studio software. i tried changing the usb settings in the phone to modem instead of mass storage, but pc suite still wont recognize it. xp will recognize the phone when set to either modem or mass storage, its just the bundled software that has trouble recognizing the phone. i even went as far as reinstalling the usb drivers and the pc suite software, with reboots, and still no luck.
any ideas?

|samsung software (7:21am est tue feb 07 2006)
the software issue is easy to resolve. unplug the phone form your computer. pop in their cd and click on install driver, if you never installed it before click on cancel, if it asks you to remove or repair, click on repair. then remove their actual software. next install the driver and after that install their software. if the software starts make sure to exit it and ensure that it was not minimized to your system tray.on your phone go to menu–>settings(9)–>phone settings(2)–>usb settings(5) and choose modem. connect your phone and start pressing next the whole time, this will install a the samsung modem 1.0 or something. now plug in your phone and start the software and it should recognize your phone from now on.

|transflash card (10:09am est mon feb 27 2006)
the t-809 flash card is shipped inside an adaptor to fit computer mmd/sd card readers. if you read it …. it says "adaptor" right on the front. slide the actual micro sd flash card out of the adaptor, and it slides into the right side of your phone in the t-flash slot. – by t-amigo

|neat little trick … (10:25am est mon feb 27 2006)
some of you may be trying to use .mp3's as ringtones and having trouble? i found a work-around. take your .mp3 file on your computer and change the file extention to .3gp , then copy the .3gp file to your flash card. on your phone, move the .3gp file to your music folder from the flash card, and boom, it works. this is a work around for the drm required from t-mobile to play .mp3's as ringtones. (all .mp3's downloaded from t-mobile will have drm, at $1.49 each … pretty clever of them don't you think?) – by t-amigo

|linking the t809 to the computer (12:59am est sat jul 22 2006)
1. install the samsung software, and the usb drivers on the cd.
2. in the phone, go into phone settings and change the usb settings to "modem"
3. connect the two with the usb cable.
the phone setting thing got me at first, but thanks to this site mine is working fine now. i love my new phone. – by jesse

Japan Bank Taps Appetite for Tokyo Real Estate
Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank Eyes Wealthy Asian Investors
TOKYO—The top executive of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank said he is making a stronger push to broker real estate deals with Asian investors as Japan's improving economy has sparked a resurgence in interest in the country's property market.
His effort comes as Japan's real-estate industry has benefited from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic and monetary policies, known as Abenomics. The Bank of Japan has expanded its purchases of shares in Japanese real-estate investment trusts, or REITs....

Oooo, Ohhh…:( You removed it from here? Oh well
| Pumpkinflower chapter 12 . 6/4/2013
I absolutely love this story. You are very talented writer. I loved the fact that this was slow love story, I have read too many of those "lets get married,love you forever,we have known each other almost a week now"-stories. And really, I'm not saying there can't be love like that, I just love slow stories and that the charachters learn to really know each other, the good and bad habits.
Also, I like that these charachters actually have jobs and they are not teens anymore. (It's nice to read stories about charachters close to my own age for a change ;) It's so wonderfull how you make them have their own lives and problems, it makes everything much more believable.
And well... Nate is sooooooooooo cute. I love him. :D
I'm hoping to read much more stories from you (actually I think I have read everything that you have posted here in fictionpress, I just have to comment this one as it's my alltime favourite.)

Finals are finally over and I'm back on my hunt for amazingly cute and fluffy stories that makes your have some hope that you'll find your someone out there eventually if they make the first move or you do.
I kinda love your writing. Not gonna lie. Love your characters and I'm slightly bias cus I kinda love ballet. Just came home from a class actually haha. That and I loved watching hockey after watching it in the last winter olympics so yeah you can I'm really bias haha.
I love how Nate was so oblivious til the end and poor Julie having to deal with him, the self confidence and eating issue. This was a good round about of a girl who was literally at rock bottom getting back to the pretty much perfect ending with all of the things that she had to go through.
Although by far my favorite character was Abby haha. She was adorable.
Love the story!

| rosieroo chapter 1 . 9/28/2012
Hey there! I'm Rosie from A Drop of Romeo and this lovely story has been added to our archive, under the category of Miscellaneous! Here's your review:
Rosie Thinks: From the start, the strange relationship between Nate and Julie drew me in, as well as the amazing characterisation of them both. Within the very first chapter, thenifoundfivedollars paints a vivid picture of both main characters. So therefore, I'd say that this story is very much character-based, rather than purely plot-based. Both of them were just so interesting that I couldn't help but read more to find out about them.
Julie is a ballerina who has been battling with a pretty serious issue - anorexia. The way that the author has approached this issue is interesting and she does not deal with it lightly. Although Julie is recovering from it when the story takes place, the reader still understands just how serious an issue it is. Nate, on the other hand, is a bit of a bad ass. The two of them keep meeting in almost unbelievable coincidences and Nate, despite his ice hockey reputation, remains a bit of a sweetie throughout all of it. The relationship between the two happens slowly and sweetly - it was enjoyable reading about how they progress into friendship first, and how Nate helps heal Julie.
thenifoundfivedollars is always a brilliant writer and this story doesn't disappoint. Everything about her writing is mostly spot on and the plot is completely original and refreshing. It's quite a short story - only 12 chapters long - but it still makes for a heart-warming, captivating read.

Depending on the cost to enforce the new rule, Windsor may soon ban dog owners from chaining their pets outdoors for longer than four hours at a time.
Council endorses setting four-hour limit on tying up dogs
Depending on the cost to enforce the new rule, Windsor may soon ban dog owners from chaining their pets outdoors for longer than four hours at a time.
Council on Tuesday night endorsed in principle a bylaw amendment that would prohibit dogs from being tethered or tied up for longer periods. Final approval is subject to a report from administration on who enforces the new rules and how much it will cost taxpayers.
Before council voted on the matter following a lengthy debate, Mayor Eddie Francis pointed out that more than a quarter of almost 10,000 bylaw enforcement calls last year were for complaints about dogs and other animals. Having the city's bylaw enforcement officers responding to "a new bylaw," he added, could mean longer waits for citizens calling in about noise, dirty yards or snow not being cleared away.
But Ward 9 Coun. Hilary Payne, who made the motion, said the new rules help reduce abuse of dogs and at "no cost to the city." Melanie Coulter, executive director of the Windsor-Essex County Humane Society, said her officers could enforce the changes as part of their regular duties contracted to the city.
City administration, which had recommended against the bylaw changes, said its own bylaw officers would also have to respond to any new dog complaints from citizens and that the city's legal department would have to cover the cost of any court proceedings.
"This would cost a lot of money," said Francis. Not being able to answer how much, however, led to a friendly amendment to Payne's motion by Ward 8 Coun. Bill Marra to have staff look into what any extra costs might be.
In a recorded vote, the motion passed 8-2, with Francis and Ward 6 Coun. Jo-Anne Gignac opposed. Ward 1 Coun. Drew Dilkens was absent.
Gignac had suggested the city simply petition the province to have the desired changes incorporated into the existing Ontario SPCA Act. Under existing provincial legislation, there's no time limit on keeping a dog tethered outside, as long as it's given access to food, water and shelter.
Gignac said she found it difficult to understand how it was any less abusive enforcing a four-hour limit for tethering outside when there would be no limit set on a dog being kept in an enclosed pen outside or in a crate inside the home.
"Chaining is bad for dogs," said Coulter. Naturally social creatures, she said dogs need social interaction or they can become "aggressive, anxious or neurotic."

We at Neil Jones Food Company strive to uphold the strictest ethical standards in our dealings with Customers, Suppliers and our internal co-workers. As current or potential stakeholders in our business, we expect our suppliers to adopt, maintain and enforce these same standards.
Our employees are bound by a code of conduct that precludes them from:
- Accepting Gifts, Bribes, Rewards, Personal Incentives, Etc.
- Engaging in undisclosed business dealings where conflicts of interest exist.
- Using false representations in business dealings.
- Not giving the same opportunity and consideration to all suppliers.
- Agreeing to commitments without written documentation.
- Not reporting questionable dealings done by others.
- Disclosing proprietary information about the company or its suppliers.
- Discriminating on the basis of anything but overall value to the company.
As a current or potential supplier you are expected to uphold the same ethical standards. Failure to conduct business in such a manner will lead to exclusion or removal from the Neil Jones Food Company approved supplier list.
Suppliers as Partners
The competitive nature of business today requires continuous improvement on all fronts. You will notice that we use the term supplier and not vendor. In our opinion vendors are transaction based relationships that are defined by invoice cost and order accuracy. In contrast, Suppliers are dynamic partners who create value throughout the supply chain and seek to achieve sustainable, win-win solutions. We seek to partner with those suppliers who can assist and challenge us to seek efficiencies throughout the supply chain. This includes continuous improvement in the areas of joint product development, specification changes, ordering, shipping, standardization, planning, re-engineering, data sharing, etc. We expect ideas, insights and constructive criticism.
Sharing of Information
The sharing of proprietary information is necessary to engage in value added relationships. For this reason Neil Jones Food Company requires all of its suppliers to sign a non-disclosure agreement agreeing to protect all proprietary information that it gathers during the course of business.
Supplier Facilities Audits
Suppliers are expected to maintain proper manufacturing/shipping standards at all times. This includes the proper documentation, safety, sanitation, and materials handling policies to ensure that all products produced for the Neil Jones Food Company are of best quality, consistency and reliability. New suppliers or new facilities supplying the Neil Jones Food Company may require an audit by one or more employees of the company. Potential suppliers are expected to bear the cost of travel-related expenses in the approval of their facilities. Business travel and accommodations should be not be excessive in nature as this will be viewed as attempting to bias an auditor. Air travel is to be Coach or Business Class. Car rental shall be mid-size car or smaller. Rooms shall not exceed $100/night except in those places where cheaper rates are not practical.
Business Related Event Policy
We recognize that there will be instances in the normal course of business when it will be appropriate for a Neil Jones Food Company employee to accept invitations from suppliers or potential suppliers for events that would normally be considered social or recreational. Given the fact that in many instances business is discussed at these events and that valuable business relationships can be developed, there will be occasions where attendance at such events will be in the best interests of the company. It is critical that participation in such events only take place when discussion of business-related issues or business-relationship development is expected to be a primary result of the participation, and when Management approves participation.
Sample Requests
Neil Jones Food Company policy states that suppliers shall furnish product samples at no cost. Product samples are meant for evaluation or testing purposes only. Samples will not be requested for approved formula production runs. Exceptions to this policy may only be made by written authorization of the Director of Purchasing or the Corporate Controller. Thank you for adhering to the policies outlined above and for your valued contribution as a supply partner of the Neil Jones Food Company.

"Casablanca" and Facebook: the beginning of a beautiful friendship? (Couldn't help it.)
To celebrate the 70th anniversary year of "Casablanca" -- and the recent release of a special edition "Casablanca" Blu-ray set -- Warner Bros. Digital Distribution will "screen" the classic Hollywood drama for Facebook users on Wednesday, May 16.
Per the press release, while the screening might not amount to a hill of beans, "movie fans across the United States are invited to microwave some popcorn and gather by the warm glow of the computer monitor to enjoy a complimentary showing this timeless love story at 7 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT."
Last March, Warner Bros. made history when it became the first studio to allow digital rentals on Facebook. The first film offered was "The Dark Knight," which Facebook users are able to rent for 30 Facebook credits, or $3 dollars.
"Facebook has become a daily destination for hundreds of millions of people," president of Warner Bros. Digital Distribution Thomas Gewecke said at the time. "Making our films available through Facebook is a natural extension of our digital distribution efforts. It gives consumers a simple, convenient way to access and enjoy our films through the world's largest social network."
For more on "Casablanca," head over to the Facebook page.

Signed colour 10″ x 8″ photo of Emerson Lake and Palmer.
The photo is hand signed in black marker pen and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer, also known as ELP, were a sporadically active English progressive rock supergroup. They found success in the 1970s and have sold over forty million albums and headlined large stadium concerts. The band consists of Keith Emerson (keyboards), Greg Lake (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion). They are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock bands.
The ELP sound is dominated by the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano of the flamboyant virtuoso Emerson. The band's compositions are heavily influenced by classical music in addition to jazz and at least in their early years hard rock. Many of their pieces are arrangements of, or contain quotations from, classical music, and they can be said to fit into the sub-genre of symphonic rock. However, Lake ensured that each of their albums contained at least one simple, accessible acoustic ballad, many of which received heavy radio airplay. Lake, in addition to providing vocals, bass guitar, electric guitar and lyrics, also produced the band's first five albums. Read more….

This month a Texas Court of Appeals upheld an important ruling against a contractor who was involved in the Unauthorized Practice of Public Adjusting (UPPA).
Lon Smith Roofing & Construction entered in to a contract with Gerald and Beatriz Reyelts. In their contract the roofer asserted that Lon Smith was being retained "to pursue homeowners'" best interest for all repairs, at a price agreeable to the insurance company" and to work out "the final price agreed between the insurance company" and Lon Smith. And that "the homeowner is responsible for paying the deductible and for any upgrades. "The final price agreed to between the insurance company and LSRC shall be the final contract."
The company replaced the roof without notifying the insurance company and then sent a bill to the insurance company for payment. The insurance company denied the claim citing policy language which required the homeowner to allow the insurance company to inspect the damages.
Lon Smith Roofing then billed the homeowner multiple times demanding payment for their services. The homeowners asserted that based on the contract it was the roofing company's responsibility to notify the insurance company. The judge eventually ruled in the homeowners' favor. Additionally, under Texas law (as is in other states) a person who negotiates and adjusts an insurance contract for the insured homeowner must be a public adjuster or attorney. It is a crime for a person other the homeowner to adjust a claim when they are not licensed. That fact alone was enough for the judge to state the contract that the homeowners had with the contractor was invalid. At the time that the original contract was signed that was the only law broken but as of today the law is that a contractor cannot also be public adjuster. This is done in order to eliminate a conflict of interest on the claim (so even if he was licensed to negotiate and adjust ha claim a contractor could not legally be the client's roofer).
Lon Smith Roofing appealed the verdict and two public adjuster associations stepped in to help with the appeal process. They worked with the client's attorney in drafting and filing the brief that the appeals court reviewed in making their decision. The ruling markedly referenced a brief that was written by Brian Goodman, on behalf of a National Association which uses membership dues and donations to offset the expense of legislative and legal proceedings that could potentially impact consumers.
So how does this affect the consumer, the contractor and the public adjuster?
By upholding this ruling the court has chosen to protect the consumer. The consumer should not have to worry about their claim being in unlicensed hands. An unlicensed person can not review an insurance policy and cannot prioritize the consumer's best interest when that person is acting illegally. This will directly and positively impact consumers by ensuring that they are using a licensed and potentially bonded adjuster who is knowledgeable and by making sure the insurance proceeds are in control by the consumer not the person practicing the unauthorized practice of public adjusting.
The contractor can focus on what the contractor does best: repair, restore, and build.
The public adjuster can work in tandem with a contractor instead of in competition. The public adjuster can focus on negotiating adjusting, submitting insurance forms and reviewing the policy without the concern of contractor's improperly representing the insured and jeopardizing a valid claim.
The insurance industry benefits by not having to increase premiums because of fraud or incompetence perpetuated by those who are illegally operating as a public adjuster.
As an adjuster, I don't talk to judges but I do "measure and document" the valuation of insurance claims and present those claims to insurers. I was recently asked by an ttorney to present a claim that demanded coverage be applied outside of the policy.
We see demands all the time to "reform" the policy and sometimes we see insurers rolling over as well and paying those claims as well; although, this is not something that is common.
Sometimes insurers pay "reasonable expectation" claims that literally amaze me. After the Chediski Rodeo fire, I talked with many individuals who were under-insured and two asked me if I could get their policies "reformed." Of these two, both were insured by State Farm. I declined, referring them to attorneys who might help them if their agent had "failed to place the proper coverage", which would be an extra-contractual claim. Both insureds declined and pursued their claims on their own. One was paid. The other was not. It amused me that the one that was paid was a destroyed second home of a famous football player. The one that was not paid was the claim of a "commoner".
Why some insurers so easily pay celebrity claims is beyond me but these insurers must want to take care of the famous or politically connected. You may recall that State Farm paid money to Paula Jones that laid her claim against Bill Clinton to rest. State Farm paid that claim under Bill Clinton's Umbrella Policy despite State Farm's own practice of denying claims where "a law may have been broken."
Let's face it, reasonable expectations can differ from individual-to-individual depending on that person's sense of entitlement. However, some non-politically or famous insureds do have a causal base to pursue such "reasonable expectations" claims based upon many factors which include (1) the agents' responsibility to place proper coverage (See Southwest Autobody v. Binson), (2) notices to the insured in policy renewal billings, (3) advertising brochures and other reasons which may create reasonable expectations.
The reasonable expectations doctrine applied in Arizona includes the theory that when insurance terms cannot be understood by the reasonably intelligent consumer, the court will interpret those terms in a manner that allows the benefit of those terms to inure to the consumer even when there is no coverage. (Hanks v. American Family Mutual, Gordinier v. Aetna Casualty).
I believe that the doctrine of reasonable expectations will gain momentum. For years, we have been involved in claims that involve "matching" issues only to see insurers hang onto their wallets and not pay such claims. However, things are changing and these claims are getting paid, even though I know that realistically, insurers cannot take the hit for all economic losses that an insured might encounter. As a consequence of this, insurers are responding with pointed language in their policies that no matching losses will be considered. We'll see where this issue goes from here. But … in the meantime, insureds will continue to make such claims if it makes sense knowing that insurers won't roll over easy, unless they are making payments to Bill Clinton or football stars.
It is common knowledge that dispute valuations in insurance claims leads to "appraisal." Appraisal is a somewhat of a buzz word for arbitration where arbitrators (appraisers) determine values. Simply put then, an appraiser is an arbitrator and appraisal is an arbitration. This isn't totally a fair equation of words. After all, a brown trout is different from a rainbow trout. Arbitration is not an appraisal, but an appraisal can be an arbitration, especially when the courts have decided such a thing.
The appraisal provision in insurance policies was placed in these policies many years ago to prevent or foreclose upon litigation and provide both insureds and insurers a method in which to value a claim outside of a courtroom. A typical insurance policy will have an "appraisal" process which must be undertaken before an action can be brought on a policy.
The parties in the policy, the insured and the insurer, each appoint an appraiser who select a third appraiser as the umpire. The appraisal panel then works like a three judge appellate court where the parties will present their valuation positions before the panel and two of the three appraisers can sign an award that is binding upon all parties.
This week while serving as an appraiser, the insured wanted us to consider input from sources which the insured was vital to his case and subsequently requested a hearing. While the other appraiser was lukewarm over the idea due to his involvement in so many appraisals where there had not been a hearing, I agreed. However, the umpire we had selected would have nothing to do with a hearing. As a matter of fact, he insisted that no hearing could be held. Instead, he said the parties had to allow the appraisers to determine values without input from either. The umpire was wrong. I raised a complaint to that position and the umpire resigned.
In some respects, his resignation was a gift to the parties because by denying a hearing, any award could be challenged, but is a hearing really required?
Arizona revised statutes contemplate that a hearing take place where requested. Nothing in the insurance agreement says that the appraisal will be decided without a hearing. There is nothing in the policy contradicting the right to a hearing. However, we must first look at our Arizona case law. According to Hanson v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., 723 P.2d 101 (Ariz. Ct. App. 1986), arbitrations provisions in our Arizona Statutes apply where not contradicted by the language of the insurance agreement. Specifically, in view of the similarity between arbitration and appraisal enforcement proceedings (Jefferson Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (1970) 3 Cal.3d 398, 401, 90 Cal. Rptr. 608, 475 P.2d 880), the court applied the standard of arbitration set forth in A.R.S. 12-1505 and A.R.S 12-1512 to the appraisal proceeding and created the general standard of review applicable to arbitration. If appraisals are controlled by the arbitration statutes, hearings, if requested, are necessary.
A.R.S. §12-1505 provides various reasons for which an award might be opposed. A.R.S 12-1512, A, 4 stands tall where it clearly sets forth that an appraisal award can be challenged when, "the arbitrators refused to postpone the hearing upon sufficient cause being shown therefore or refused to hear evidence material to the controversy or otherwise so conducted the hearing, contrary to the provisions of section 12-1505…"
The court may order an appraisal rehearing before the arbitrators who made the award or their successors appointed in accordance with section 12-1503. The time within which the agreement requires the award to be made is applicable to the rehearing and commences from the date of the order.
Appraisal is a wonderful method to resolve valuation disputes. It is unfortunate that so many people, including the umpire we had selected as our third appraiser, lack knowledge of this simple procedure. The appraisal must commence in an appropriate manner, which includes offering a hearing to the parties. Following proper procedures will prevent the appraisal award from being challenged.

Not long into reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy you realize there's something stuck in your teeth: grit. Yes, the grit and sand covering the land and characters of Blood Meridian are all over you, too. It's on your tongue, in your pores, and coating your clothes.
You don't read Blood Meridian. You experience it, every dirty, bloody, nasty bit of the book.
A talented novelist makes you believe their fictional world is real. McCarthy does this in Blood Meridian as well as any writer.
It doesn't matter if McCarthy didn't live in 1849 when the book is set. Or that Hollywood Westerns could have been some of his source material for the book. What matters is that you believe the place and people in Blood Meridian are real.
You believe this so much that you feel every paragraph of desperation and fear and violence that echoes like a gunshot in a canyon throughout McCarthy's book.
This is probably one reason why authors such as Stephen King and Rachel Kushner cite the book as one of their favorites. A writer reading Blood Meridian is an apostle in the presence of their savior.
Another reason practitioners of writing often laud Blood Meridian could be McCarthy's manipulation of the English language.
It's as if McCarthy is the boy with the spoon in "The Matrix". The boy bends a spoon by looking at it. He explains, "Only try to realize the truth…There is no spoon."
McCarthy doesn't adhere to standards of grammar, punctuation, or definitions. He instead uses words however he needs to tell his story. He is able to bend the language because to him it isn't a language. It's a vehicle to his story.
Take this passage, for example: "All night sheetlightning quaked sourceless to the west beyond the midnight thunderheads, making a bluish day of the distant desert, the mountains on the sudden skyline stark and black and livid like a land of some other order out there whose true geology was not stone but fear."
This is a sentence. It contains English, words you understand. But they're adeptly sewn together in ways unimaginable to most of us. Pieced together phrases such as this make Blood Meridian a masterful work of art. The book is a classic.
Overview of Blood Meridian
Setting: Blood Meridian mostly takes place in Texas, Mexico, and the American Southwest in 1849-1850.
Main Characters:
- The kid – Protagonist; A runaway teenager from Tennessee, The kid makes it to Texas. He eventually falls in with a gang led by Glanton. The kid is an antihero. He's no saint, but he does show small amounts of compassion and decency throughout the book.
- The Judge – Antagonist; He's a psychopath that comes across as nearly supernatural. He has no conscience and shows no remorse. He seems omnipotent and unstoppable.
- Glanton – Leader of the gang, he's nearly as mean and violent as The Judge. But he's not quite as smart. If The Judge is Satan, Glanton would be his right-hand demon. The character is loosely based on the real-life John Joel Glanton.
- Toadvine – A character The kid meets that puts him on the path to joining The Judge and Glanton's group.
- Tobin – An ex-priest, is a paradox. He maintains some religious beliefs while killing and committing crimes alongside the rest of the gang.
- David Brown – He wears a necklace made of human ears. That gives you an accurate picture of this character's makeup.
Plot: The kid runs away from home and ends up in Texas. He meets Toadvine, a relationship that leads both to join Glanton's gang. The gang is hired by Mexican authorities to hunt Apaches. The gang journeys north and west across Mexico, killing and plundering as they go. They work their way to present-day California and Arizona. The gang takes over a ferry crossing on the Colorado River, a move that ends disastrously for most of the gang.
Based on incidents that took place in the southwestern United States and Mexico around 1850, this novel chronicles the crimes of a band of desperados, with a particular focus on one, "the kid," a boy of fourteen

62K lbs of contaminated meat products in the U.S. recalled
Posted on Thursday, October 30th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
According to an article published by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), an estimated 62,488 pounds of meat products distributed in the U.S. are being recalled after harmful contaminants were found in on of the brand's sample products.
Reports stated that several breakfast products of Minnesota-based Buddy's Kitchen were potentially contaminated with listeria monocytogenes bacteria. The Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered the issue upon testing the raw ingredients of the affected products. FSIS findings concluded that the potatoes used in the products were contaminated. Any incidents of illness resulting from consuming the recalled products are unknown at this time.
Adults, pregnant women, babies, and individuals with poor immune systems may suffer serious bacterial infections that can be fatal from eating products contaminated with listeria monocytogenes bacteria. Additionally, according to the website of the the Oklahoma personal injury lawyers at the Abel Law Firm, serious emotional and financial difficulties can also result from product defects such as contaminated food.
Consumers who might still have any of the products that were recalled are advised to contact the product's manufacturer or the FSIS for more information.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Coming clean. Cycling legend Lance Armstrong confesses he took performance-enhancing drugs after denying it for years.
Meghan McCorkell has more on the impact this could have on Armstrong and the cycling world.
Armstrong has offered to be a witness in a federal investigation into doping and to pay $5 million to compensate for his alleged fraud. But the Department of Justice says it's not enough.
He's been stripped of his seven Tour de France wins and forced to leave his Livestrong charity. His endorsement deals are gone. Now, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong admitted to doping.
"The answers that people around the world have been waiting to hear were certainly answered. I can only say I was satisfied by the answer," Winfrey tells CBS This Morning.
U.S. officials accuse Armstrong of running the most sophisticated, professionalized doping program ever seen.
During an interview with 60 Minutes, teammate Tyler Hamilton admitted he saw Armstrong use the banned substance EPO.
"I saw him inject it…more than one time," Hamilton told Scott Pelley.
For local cyclists, the news of Armstrong's confession isn't a surprise but it is a disappointment.
Kris Auer of Twenty20 Cycling in Hampden raced against Armstrong early in his career.
"He was an extraordinary athlete without the dope. He became a super-human athlete with it," said Auer.
Auer says the crackdown on illegal doping is having an impact.
"Speeds, average speeds and whatnot have gone down. You start to see people fail a little bit more often," he said.
Joe Traill of Joe's Bike Shop in Mount Washington met Armstrong after his second Tour de France win. He hopes the disgraced cyclist is coming forward for the right reasons.
"If it's to get back into cycling or clear some legal hurdle or something, then I think it would be sad for him to go to all this trouble," Traill said.
It's trouble that could cost Armstrong millions of dollars. The U.S. Justice Department is considering joining in a whistleblower lawsuit against Armstrong that could cost him nearly $100 million.
The World Anti-Doping Agency says Armstrong will have to testify under oath in order to have his lifetime ban from cycling reduced.

First Bankcard® Launches the VOX® Business Card, Providing a One-Card Solution for Mid-Sized Companies
New, robust financial reporting package helps companies better monitor and manage their spending
Feb 14, 2013, 10:15 EST
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With mid-sized businesses increasingly asking for simpler, more flexible business card options, First Bankcard®, a division of First National Bank of Omaha, recently launched the Visa® VOX® Business Card. VOX is designed to address all of a company's purchasing, and travel and entertainment needs with a single card. The VOX Business Card carries no annual fee and was created for businesses with annual sales between $5 million and $25 million that are seeking high-value credit lines between $50,000 and $250,000.
Because the VOX Business Card can be used for both procurement, and travel and entertainment functions, it reduces the number of accounts and cards a company needs to manage. It also features a robust, customizable online reporting package that allows companies to better track and manage expenses, as well as a flexible business rewards program with no limit to the number of points that can be earned and redeemed for travel, merchandise and cash rewards in the form of a statement credit.
Among its unique features, the VOX Business Card gives companies financial flexibility by allowing them to choose their minimum monthly payment for purchases at the time of application. Companies can choose a minimum monthly payment of 10 percent, 25 percent, 50 percent or 100 percent of the outstanding balance. Each minimum monthly payment has a corresponding interest rate for purchases. The more the company chooses to pay each month, the lower the interest rate.
"First Bankcard continues to seek innovative ways to serve our customers. We talked to mid-sized businesses, and they told us that they were looking to simplify their business card programs and for better ways to track purchases and monitor spending," said Stephen F. Eulie, President of First Bankcard. "We listened and specifically developed the VOX Business Card to give mid-sized businesses the tools they need."
In October 2012, First Bankcard joined with San Francisco-based Union Bank, N.A., to introduce the VOX Business Card. First Bankcard now offers the card nationwide and will add other select bank partners in 2013.
"We're excited to be the first bank to offer the VOX Business Card, and we value First Bankcard's ongoing efforts in helping us develop deeper relationships with our business customers," said Ted Bowers, Union Bank Sr. VP of Bankcard Administration.

|My muse
Which brings me to my second topic: vlogs. Yesterday, in all my flurries of excitement, I threw it out there that I've been very interested in creating vlogs for NaNoWriMo and wanted to know if that interested anyone out there. Instead of being met with silence, I actually had people interested! I still have a long way to go with my editing skills and I desperately need a camera better than my pathetic web camera on my laptop, but I super inthralled with the idea of vlogging my journey. I noticed vloggers I follow who vlogged during NaNoWriMo were able to build much larger writing communities to discuss and write with! I would love to build my own circle of fellow writers and I feel like youtube would be a great platform to reach out! Would any of you be interested in that? I guess it would be similar to these articles, just a bit more personal with you know...my face? Haha!
Ugh...got to head off to the "real world" and do some adulting. Maybe someday I will do this for a living?

If you just juggled getting your kids in bed, doing the dishes, and cleaning up a living room scattered with clothes while eating a handful of chips to keep yourself from starving, I need you to know that I appreciate you! I know your struggle!
I am a wife to an amazing guy and mom of three beautiful children (2 girls and a boy...in that order). They all keep me on my toes! I know the feeling of being completely fatigued, barely mustering up enough strength to cook a hot meal for the family, and enjoying none of that meal because I was too busy finishing up another project/chore. I know first-hand the struggle of going to bed with a stomach full of mini-Oreos because, well, LIFE!
In 2016, I decided to change that. After all, how could I be that "Best Mom" and "Best Wife" that I kept praying to be if I was consistently neglecting myself? I would feed myself junk and then tell myself to perform at top efficiency. I would spend no time on my personal development but would then tell myself to grow in all areas of life. I learned that life doesn't work that way!
I was stuck in the same circle because, simply, I stayed marching in that same circle! Talk about consistency, huh?
I finally (just recently!) learned the difference between being selfish and being kind to myself. I am here to take your guilt away. I want to share with you how I managed to find myself (again) after losing myself under the stresses of Debt, Obesity, Insecurity, Exhaustion, Depression, and (insert all of the missing things that I can't quite re-hash at this time).
I took my life BACK! I put myself through HOURS of self-reflection, therapy, soul-searching, rediscovery and more to find my worth again. Now, I am in debt to every other mom or wife who is going through the same thing! We're going to start out small...and make HUGE differences in your life that are lasting! And we're going to have a TON of FUN doing it!
So, it's okay if you take an extra 10 minutes to scroll through my site tonight when you should be dusting! Trust me when I tell you that you will walk away feeling Empowered, Appreciated, and totally not Guilty!

1. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnPeter Kahrel Feb 8, 2011 8:32 PM (in response to TᴀW)
Maybe this:
leftEdge = textColumn.lines[0].insertionPoints[0].horizontalOffset;
The left side of the column's text frame you get with this line:
left = textColumn.parentTextFrames[0].geometricBounds[1];
and then you substract one from the other (haven't tried it).
2. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnTᴀW Feb 9, 2011 2:24 AM (in response to Peter Kahrel)
Hi Peter,
It doesn't work if the first line of the column has a paragraph indent,
is centre- or right-aligned, or has otherwise been altered.
3. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnOlav Martin Kvern Feb 9, 2011 1:55 PM (in response to TᴀW)
Hi Ariel, Peter,
For an untransformed, rectangular text frame, you can try something like this:
//Where textColumn is a reference to a text column...
function findLeftEdge(textColumn){
var textFrame = textColumn.parentTextFrames[0];
var leftEdge = textFrame.geometricBounds[1];
var leftIndent = textFrame.textFramePreferences.insetSpacing;
var textColumnIndex = findTextColumnIndex(textColumn);
if(leftIndent.length == 1){
leftIndent = leftIndent[0];
leftIndent = leftIndent[1];
var numberOfColumns = textFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount;
var spaceBetweenColumns = textFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter;
var textFrameWidth = textFrame.geometricBounds[3] - textFrame.geometricBounds[1];
var textColumnWidth = textFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnFixedWidth;
leftEdge = leftEdge + (textColumnIndex * spaceBetweenColumns) + (textColumnWidth * textColumnIndex);
return leftEdge;
function findTextColumnIndex(textColumn){
var result = 0;
var textFrame = textColumn.parentTextFrames[0];
for(var counter = 0; counter < textFrame.textColumns.length; counter++){
//The index of the text column is actually the
//index of the first character in the text column.
if(textFrame.textColumns.item(counter).index == textColumn.index){
result = counter;
return result;
4. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnTᴀW Feb 9, 2011 2:12 PM (in response to Olav Martin Kvern)
Hi Ole,
Thanks for this. (I would just comment for the benefit of anyone who
hasn't looked up the insetSpacing property recently, that if the inset
is equal on all sides, it returns a single number, but if it's
different, it return 4 numbers; hence the need for that if statment in
the first function.)
Does this work also with a CS5 split paragraph?
I was thinking of another way to do it, and that is to add a temporary
anchored object to any given textColumn, with settings that are
"relative to the column." Then take an appropriate x reading from that
anchored object, and then remove it. Perhaps it's a more solid way,
also, since we're relying on InDesign's built in way of getting the
left-edge of a column. For instnace, in Ole's function, what if that
columns are not fixed width?
5. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnOlav Martin Kvern Feb 9, 2011 2:18 PM (in response to TᴀW)
Hi Ariel,
re: "Does this work also with a CS5 split paragraph?"
I don't know?:-)
re: "For instance, in Ole's function, what if the columns are not fixed width?"
This will work even if textFramePreferences.useFixedColumnWidth is false--the textFramePreferences.textColumnFixedWidth property always holds the current width of the column (just as in the UI). At one point (CS3?) it didn't do that, but it does now (or seems to, anyway).
6. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnTᴀW Feb 9, 2011 2:25 PM (in response to Olav Martin Kvern)
Hi Ole,
I'm in the middle of working on something else in CS4, so I'll have to
wait to find out about split paragraphs (it's not a good idea to open
two versions of indesign at the same time, is it?).
You know, I don't use columns much myself, so I thought that you can
have uneven columns widths. But I see that you can't. So in that case
your function should work perfectly.
This is one of those things that you think should be terribly simple,
and in the end requires two functions and about 8 variables...
7. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnTᴀW Feb 10, 2011 5:36 PM (in response to Olav Martin Kvern)
Hi Ole,
No, it doesn't work with split paragraphs (since textColumnFixedWidth is
not applicable for a split paragraph). I suppose you could add a
condition for split paragraphs, but then you need to check if you're not
in CS4...
So, my function to get the left edge of a column (given a textColumn),
using anchored objects, for CS4 (I hope) and CS5 (tested) is as follows:
function getColumnLeftEdge(myColumn){
myChar = myColumn.lines.middleItem().characters.middleItem();
myAnchoredObject = myChar.rectangles.add();
anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.RIGHT_CENTER_ANCHOR;
anchorSpaceAbove = 0;
anchorXoffset = 0;
anchorYoffset = 0;
anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED;
horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN;
horizontalReferencePoint = AnchoredRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE;
verticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN;
verticalReferencePoint = VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_BASELINE;
leftEdge = myAnchoredObject.geometricBounds[3];
return (leftEdge);
8. Re: How can I find the left edge of a columnPooja_IDDev May 7, 2012 6:41 AM (in response to TᴀW)
Hello eveyone
function getColumnLeftEdge(myCell){
var myAnchoredObject = null;
var insertionPt = myCell.insertionPoints[0];
myAnchoredObject = insertionPt.rectangles.add();
anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_RIGHT_ANCHOR;
anchorSpaceAbove = 0;
anchorXoffset = 0;
anchorYoffset = 0;
anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED;
horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN;
horizontalReferencePoint = AnchoredRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE;
verticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.TOP_ALIGN;
verticalReferencePoint = VerticallyRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE;
var topEdge = myAnchoredObject.geometricBounds[2];
var leftEdge = myAnchoredObject.geometricBounds[3];
return [topEdge, leftEdge];
I tried above code with some modification to get the top and left points of a cell
but if there is overset in any cell then i am not able to get the geometricBounds of that myAnchoredObject.
please suggest any solution
thanks in advace.

Blessings of Mothernight, Modranicht, the longest darkest night of the year, and the deepest heart of the winter…
This is the time when many pagans honour our ancient mothers; those ancestors who birthed us through their own longest night of labour. Summoning all of their strength and courage they brought us slippery, wet and new into the world, just as many of us hold fast through the darkness of this night. We journey to find the tiny spark of the new cycle, the moment of inception, deep within ourselves at the moment of the solstice. This is a time of nothingness, stillness and peace. If we are able to stop and take the time to listen we find that the land has slowed to a stop, a moment of pause before the tide turns. Often at the solstice the earth is buried under a cloak of hoar frost, everything that can, sleeps. Underneath the bustle and hurry of the human world there is a deep stillness which permeates the very mud. This is what winter teaches us: Peace.
Yet for many, pagan and non, there is a deep uncertainty too. Will the winter ever end? Will the days begin to grow longer again, will the new sun be born? Here in Britain, the winter is hard and cold, the days short, the nights long. For our ancestors the daily chores of staying fed and warm enough would have been all consuming. We carry that memory of discomfort to varying degrees of consciousness, deep within our genetic memory. We remember what it is is like to fight for survival, to be cold, hungry. We fill this time of year with light and food, warmth and abundance, part in celebration for all that we have, that we are still alive. In part we do it to stave off the darkness and discomfort, our society's fear of the dark, the unwillingness to release into it and all of it's uncertainties. The idea that dark is bad and difficult and light is easy and good are limiting and unhelpful dualistic concepts that infuse much of the western consciousness, indeed much of paganism. So we turn on the fairy lights at the beginning of December as winter finds it's depths, turn up the carols and the music as silence grows and eat too much as if to ensure we wont starve, cushioning ourselves from the world. We shout in the return of the new sun with bells and whistles, not realising in our rush to welcome it back, how tender, tiny and new that flickering spark is. How the tiniest breath could extinguish it, how much we need the stillness and nurture that the dark provides to become strong and viable in the new cycle. The world stays dark and quiet for a while yet, the coldest part is yet to come and it will be a long time before the lengthening days call the world to wake.
To live this time of year in relationship with the natural world, listening to what the gods of nature can teach us of the winter, rather than being swept up in the human current of excess, takes courage. To let go of the consumerism leaves many of us bereft, somehow not satisfied, unloved, hungry like something is missing…No piles of presents? At Christmas?! But there is much about winter that takes courage. Our labouring mothers gathered every scrap of resource that they had to walk the line between life and death to bring us into the world not knowing if they would survive the birth. By acknowledging and allowing ourselves to feel the deep uncertainties of winter, She brings us Her greatest gifts. Winter shows us where and what our own deepest resources are, strips away our dross and the unnecessary, strips us bare, as the frost strips the soil ready for the new seasons growth. That stripping back shows us what and who is really important. I shudder to think of the money (and environmental waste) I spent for many years on gifts that were unwrapped in a shower of pretty paper, only to be forgotten on the pile of rapidly accumulating junk, probably used once and then abandoned. Now, I buy or make useful and small tokens of affection for those I love the most, there are no huge piles of food. I cant bear the lights, the noise, the shopping. Even other pagans seem to think that's a bit odd, cant understand that there could be celebration that is austere, beautiful in it's simplicity.
This evening as I sit beside the fire, all of the electric lights in the house are off as I welcome the darkness. I find empathy with my ancestors who had no electricity and relied on the fire for warmth. I feel myself in awe of their courage and tenacity. It is inconvenient, awkward, I can't see the keys to type well and cooking supper was interesting. But none of that is life threatening. I wonder, where do I fight for survival in my life, just as my ancestors did every day? Not many places if I'm honest. I fight to keep going in a challenging job, we struggle to pay the bills, but I have enough food and wood to be warm and fed. The winter makes me wonder where in my life I could cut back, releasing just a little more of the excess and the unnecessary to the frost, bringing me that one step closer to the survival line. Not through some sense of matyrdom or some strange need to make life as uncomfortable as possible just because it was for my ancestors. But because it is a useful exercise in distinguishing between need and greed, in finding balance in a world where we simply don't have the resources to fulfil our every wish, where quite frankly, the less we use the better, for our own survival. For me there is deep satisfaction in having very little and celebrating anyway.
So it feels fitting in this time of darkness and uncertainty to gather my words and hurl them out into the public space of the internet for the first time. I wonder who will read them, who will be provoked, angered, bored, indifferent or inspired. Do I mind? Yes and no, I'm a sensitive soul really. What is the point? I'm not sure of that yet either other than to serve the gods who asked. The tiny spark of my new cycle is not yet kindled, not yet strong or sure, but I hope that at least some of what I write will be of use to someone.
Blessings of the Firelight.

- Details
Horse teeth are of the hypsodont kind, meaning they grow continuously throughout a horse's life.
Horses that live in the wild wear their teeth by grinding away on tough pastures, which helps keeping them even. The diet for the domesticated horse does not require the horse to grind as much and so can lead to uneven wear of the molars.
When teeth wear unevenly, they may end up with sharp points especially along the molars. Often these occur along the outer edge of the upper molars and the inner edge of the lower molars.
Signs of dental problems are head shaking, drooling, dropping of food while eating or loss of body condition. If your horse has any of those signs, you should get us out to check your horse's teeth.
When we come out for a dental examination of your horse, we may choose to give it a mild sedation and use a gag to keep the mouth open. This is the best way to examine a horse's mouth as it enables us to inspect all molars thoroughly. We can remove wolf teeth and dental caps if needed.
At VETPlus we recommend an annual dental checkup for most horses, but as each circumstance can vary it may be better for you to come in to one of our clinics and discuss your situation with us. We can also offer you an annual health check of your horse including blood samples, so feel free to inquire about this as well.
Pre Purchase Examinations
We are able to offer the New Zealand Equine Veterinary Association recommended pre-purchase procedure. Our equine vets can assess any horse up to stage 5 of the examination and provide you with a Veterinary Certificate detailing their findings before you consider purchasing a horse.
Field Surgeries
We offer field anesthesia to complete various surgical procedures on your horse. These include castration, Periosteal strips to straighten foals legs and hernia repairs to name a few.
Freeze branding and fire branding services are available for the various equine breeds in the Central Plateau Region.
Our thoroughbred freeze branding service also includes micro-chipping, DNA sampling and registration paperwork.
Event Vetting
VETPlus sponsors and has vets attending horse events on a regular basis. If your club is looking for sponsorship or if you need a vet present at a horse event, feel free to contact us and we will do our best to suit your needs. Two of our vets have a particular interest in eventing and have previously attended the FEI Three-Day event in Taupo as part of the vet panel there, and one of our vets has recently completed an FEI Vet Endurance course.

In a large straight-sided saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, pepper and a pinch of salt. Heat and toast the pepper until the oil is fragrant with the pepper scent, 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and allow the moisture to evaporate from the pasta for a couple of minutes.
Add the pasta to the pan with the olive oil, raise the heat to medium-high and continuously toss the pasta with tongs to coat with the olive oil and pepper. Remove from the heat, add the lemon zest and cheese, toss and then transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

From Indonesia:
My girl friend's parents have diabetes type 2, both her mother and her father. She is fine right now. She is 19 years old, and I am 24 years old.
Is it possible that my girlfriend will get diabetes like her parents? How much is the probability? Is it a big problem if I get married to my girlfriend? I just want to know! I know that women with diabetes can get a lot of problems, for example if pregnant.
It is a little difficult to predict what your girlfriend's chance of getting diabetes are without knowing more precisely what form of the disorder her parents have. If they had the autoimmune form of diabetes (Type 1) her chance of getting diabetes might be as low as 5% or so and if they both had a form of diabetes that was nutritionally based she might be at no special risk. If both her parents were Type 2 diabetics her chance of getting diabetes at some stage in her life might be as high as 50%, but that might mean not getting diabetes until she was sixty years old or so.
Scientists are every year learning more about the genetic and environmental factors that lead to diabetes in different communities and at the same time the ability to 'control' blood sugars in people who have become diabetic gets better and better and the risks of long term complications including those to a child at birth are, with proper care now very small indeed. In other words I am trying to persuade you that nowadays, if you have access to good medical care, the possibility that your girl friend might get diabetes one day should not be a major component in any decision to get married. Trying to avoid being overweight and taking some form of regular exercise would probably help to diminish the chances further.

What is an Estuary?
An estuary (pronounced esCHo͞oˌerē ) is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water which has a free connection with the open sea and where sea water mixes with fresh water.
Galveston Bay is an estuary located in Southeast Texas near the Houston-Galveston area. In this wonderfully complex system, freshwater inflows from rivers, bayous and streams mix with salty water from the Gulf of Mexico. This mixing provides a unique environment that houses indigenous coastal plants and offers a nutrient rich arena that nurtures juvenile marine organisms such as shrimp, oysters, crabs, and numerous fish.
Why are estuaries important?
Estuaries are one of the planet's most productive and important ecosystems. Estuaries like Galveston Bay are "nature's nurseries." The bay nurtures juvenile shrimp, oysters, crabs, and fin fish. Without a well-functioning estuary, there would be little local seafood in our restaurants, and recreational and commercial fishing would dramatically decline.
Why is Galveston Bay important?
Galveston Bay is vital to the Houston-Galveston Area's economic well-being and quality of life. Its ports, transportation industries, and proximity to rich petroleum reserves form the core of the local economy. At the same time, the Bay is a rich and productive ecosystem, supporting several key water-based industries such as recreational fishing, commercial fishing and shellfish harvesting, and nature tourism. These industries contribute billions of dollars to the region's economy and employ thousands of people.
The Galveston Bay Estuary also provides important ecological services. Its upland prairies and wetlands absorb flood waters and filter contaminated storm water runoff. Its bay waters, rivers, streams, and bayous naturally assimilate pollutants from wastewater discharges, streets, businesses, and homes.
Where can I learn more about estuaries?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides detailed information about our nation's estuaries, their importance and impact, and what the agency is doing to help.

Beer 100 Home
Recipes made with Beer
Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup
If Wisconsin has a state food, it's must be cheese.
Many times I have made the short trip up to the
Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha to pick
up some cheese for this project. If you miss the Midwest, just have some of this
soup during a Green Bay game and you'll feel better.
12 ounces beer (nothing too dark, Miller Lite
works pretty good)
8 slices bacon (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced sweet red pepper
1 10-1/2 ounce can condensed chicken broth
1/4 cup flour
1 cup Half and Half Coffee Creamer
3 cups shredded sharp (medium is OK) cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
