Holiday Gifts for the Gardener
Mary Ann Ryan
Adams County Master Gardener
It's that time of year again! What do I get for gifts? Here is a wealth of ideas from a few of our Penn State
Extension gardeners. And, if, by chance, you know any Master Gardener and wandering what to do, this may just be the list you were looking for this holiday season!
Seed starting kits: This is a great gift for gardeners who like to start their own plants. There are also kits where you can grow herbs from seed to harvest. Heat mats are great as well since this
makes seed starting so much easier.
The obvious – Plants! A fruit tree that is the favorite variety of that friend or family member may be just the thing they are looking for. Does the person like wine? Consider giving a couple of wine
grape vines. Is the gardener a baker? Brambles, like raspberries or blackberries, or ground covers like strawberries may be just the perfect gift. Who knows, the recipient may even share a pie or bottle of wine with you some
Pollinator friendly plants, like Clethra alnifolia, also make a great gift. The plant can be purchased now and delivered in the spring to the recipient directly from the nursery. Plants are a gift
that the person will enjoy for many years to come. Is he/she a butterfly gardener? How about coneflowers or butterflyweed to add to their garden in the spring?
Houseplants: Many gardeners not only enjoy plants on the outside, but like plants on the inside as well. If you know the environment that plants will be growing, stop at a garden center and see what's
available. This time of year you can always pick up a Norfolk Island Pine or peace lily; both are very easy to grow, and a great gift idea for the gardener. How about bulbs like amaryllis or paperwhites? These can be enjoyed
through the winter months – or – there are programs where you can have blooming plants delivered right to their home each month for the gardener to enjoy indoors!
Other blooming plants like cyclamen, Christmas cactus and poinsettias are always a sure thing to give at the holidays. Looking online for care of these plants and attaching the directions to the plant
is a great idea if the gardener is a beginner to the indoor plant world.
What about herbs? Growing herbs indoors can be quite a challenge, but gardeners are often looking for that challenge. If the gardener is a cook, this may be just the thing for them!
Tools: Does the person you are shopping for have by-pass clippers? They are preferred over the type that clamp together, sometimes bruising the stem you are cutting. Any kind of tool is always
appreciated. I have a dandelion digger - a long skinny forked metal blade on a handle. It gets lots of use. Another great tool is a lawn rake where the tines collapse to make a very narrow rake; you can get in between your
plants with one of these.
Garden Art: How about a sun-dial or other garden ornament? If you are thinking bigger, maybe the gardener would like a trellis, bird-house, bird bath, some comfortable lawn furniture, or even a water
garden or water garden accessories.
Cozy Necessities: Does the gardener own some good garden gloves? If they do any rough work like pruning roses, they may want some with a heavy cuff that goes almost to the elbow. Even if they already
have a pair, more than one is always appreciated. Personally I have an ambition to have some of those garden shoes that slip on easily and you can just hose them off. Many of us like those foam kneeling pads or knee pads;
they make the gardening hours much more comfortable.
A Truck: Not a real truck, (although I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be turned down) but one of those light weight 2-wheel jobs, that are so much easier to pull or push than a wheel-barrow. Our
wheel-barrow is so heavy and hard to push that I can hardly move it when it is empty, but the garden truck that my husband fixed up for me is very easy to use. It has a bar handle and you can push or pull, depending on your
Tool Caddy: The one I have fits over a five-gallon bucket. There are pockets on the inside and outside. I think it was designed for a carpenter's tools, but works great for gardening. No more
wondering where I might have left my favorite trowel.
Containers: Those of us who have very little space really appreciate growing plants in containers. Although I may not be able to put an arrangement in a lovely container on my deck until next spring,
I would be delighted to receive a nice pot or other container for Christmas. Hanging baskets, window boxes or seedling trays are some other container ideas.
Garden Calendar: I have sat at my desk and enjoyed a beautiful calendar that I received last year. Each month the flower pictures seem more attractive. Many of these garden calendars also have
suggestions for what needs to be done in the garden each month of the year.
Hand Lens: For the gardeners out there who really get into the botany of gardening, a hand lens might be just the thing to examine the fine respects of a plant.
Subscriptions: One way to give a gift so the receiver will think of you with each issue, is to give a subscription to a magazine. Most gardeners enjoy magazines about gardening or attracting birds,
butterflies, or other wildlife to our gardens. Your local extension offices also have publications like Growing Vegetables, Fruit Production for the Home Gardener or Herbs for the Home Gardener for a nominal fee.
Gift Certificates: You can obtain gift certificates at any nursery or store that sells gardening supplies. Then the recipient can go and pick out whatever he or she needs. It's such fun to into a
store and know that you have the equivalent of money that just must be spent.
Another type of gift certificate is a "promise" type. Can you take your gardener friend to Longwood Gardens or some other lovely public garden? That would be something us garden lovers would look
forward to with excitement! Or how about a "promise" to help with spring planting or some other garden chore throughout the season, or a truck full of compost or mulch? Every gardener needs a little compost in their life,
any time of year.
And here's an "out of the box" idea – if you are one of those people that exchange gifts prior to Christmas, what about gifting a Christmas tree? A live tree would be great for the gardener in your
life as they can plant it outdoors after the season, so not only are you thought of during the decorating of the tree and throughout the season, but you will be thought of every day as the tree grows after planting! Or take
the gardener on a "cut your own" trip and enjoy together what the season has in store.
So take these ideas and run with them! Hopefully this is a good start to opening up the door to some great gardening gifts. Any gardener would envy the person that receives something from this list!

Cheap Exclusive Beats?
Expensive Beats? Let's break it down!
Some cats nowadays think with whatever part of their body instead of brain. Don't be like them. Don't be too fast judging! When you see cheap exclusive beats price tag – check the product quality first! Then say what you gotta say.
There are different price variations on rap beats market, some dudes charge up to $1000 for exclusive beat, some go full retard and sell 10 beats for $1… They have their reasons for doing that. Here is some intel:
When producer put $1000 price tag on his production then probably he is already a big shot in the industry and purchasing his production will mean that you'll have top grade product. Combine it with same level rhymes and you could end up like GZA. Why GZA? By the time I was writing this – I was listening to Words From The Genius album by Genius/GZA which was produced by Easy Mo Bee, legendary producer who is still rocking SP1200 sampler… and the reason I telling you this is that Easy Mo Bee actually charged around $1000 for each beat on that album and got around 10k for all production for that joint (one of my favorite btw!) I learned that from one of his interviews. Mo Bee was legendary enough to charge that price and that joint considered classic.
Now there are dudes with their sites who charge about $1k for rap beats which they consider "hot". Nuff Said. Just add HOT to one of your tags, name your so called production "lil whatever type beat" and wait for someone to buy it. I feel sorry for whoever actually bought it.
Also there "producers" who make wack trap beats. Really how can someone be serious about their hip-hop when they make only that ind of stuff, not original at all just copycats and there are tons of them all over intenetz.
Now there is minds.cool joint. Where you can dig beats and drop your lyrics. Just check it 😀

A friend of mine has just started a group on Facebook about journaling.
I joined the group because journaling is something I did for awhile, but quit when I started my blog. I enjoy journaling and plan to take it up again, but, more on that later.
In the meantime, I have gotten several really great ideas from the folks in this little group.
So, today, I am going to write with my left hand. Although, I am somewhat ambidextrous – I often eat with my left hand, always shoot pool with my left hand,sometimes toss a Frisbee with my left hand and always deal cards left-handed – I do most everything else right-handed.
Forcing myself to write left-handed has been very interesting! It's hard to do! It requires an intense level of concentration. During my first attempts, I was reminded how learning to make letters with a pencil when I was a tot was very difficult. And, how every day, in school, we practiced. And, how eventually, some of us got better at it.
I'm certain I've read articles claiming that doing an everyday mundane task differently than the norm is great exercise for the brain.
Below are some samples of my left-handed writing:
Looks pretty good, me thinks!
I don't know any Jacobs, nor do I have a child in school, I was just practicing!
Wow! I feel smarter already!

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical about marriage and the choice to remain single gets a thoroughly modern staging
Terry Teachout on June 30, 2012
Sooner or later, every play becomes a history play, a time capsule whose carefully preserved contents show us something of what life was like at a particular moment in the past. Some plays, however, tell us far more than others about such moments. One of them is "Company," the 1970 musical in which Stephen Sondheim and George Furth described what it was like to be a member of the urban bourgeoisie at the moment when America was becoming a country where marriage for life is not a normal destiny but an increasingly remote possibility. Twenty years ago I thought that "Company" was a period piece. Today it seems prophetic, a hardheaded comedy about the way we live and love now—and its hardheadedness helps to explain why it doesn't get done as often as it should.
It figures, then, that first-class revivals of "Company" should be thin on the ground. I've reviewed only two, on Broadway in 2006 and at Pennsylvania's Bucks County Playhouse last summer. Now there's a third: William Brown, one of Chicago's top directors, has given us a small-scale, contemporary-flavored "Company" (everyone uses cellphones) that is the most dramatically persuasive version I've seen to date. It's the first musical to be mounted on Writers Theatre's new 250-seat main stage, and it takes full advantage of that handsome space. Indeed, the real "star" of the show is Todd Rosenthal, the set designer. Best known in New York for "August: Osage County," he has concocted a multitiered performing space that shows you how the complex narrative structure of "Company" works. Everything about this production is wholly satisfying, but it's Mr. Rosenthal's set that makes the pieces fit together so tightly.
If you've never seen "Company," the setting is—or seems to be—a surprise birthday party for Bobby (Thom Miller), a New Yorker who's just turned 35 and whose married friends wonder why he won't take the plunge himself. The answer is that he's desperately afraid of commitment, in part because he can see only the flaws in their marriages. (As one of them says in a toast, "May this day bring you fame, fortune and your first wife.") He longs instead for a relationship with a woman to whom he can be close, but not too close: "You promise whatever you like, / I'll never collect." No sooner does the party get going than "Company" turns into a series of sketches, five of which portray the married lives of Bobby's friends and three of which introduce us to the women whom he's dating. Some of the songs ("Getting Married Today," "The Ladies Who Lunch") take place "inside" the sketches, while others ("You Could Drive a Person Crazy") comment on the unfolding plot. At length we return to the party—and discover that what we saw when the curtain went up didn't really happen.
Sound complicated? That's where the set comes in. The back wall is a giant window that looks down from a high-rise apartment to the street below. In front of it is an asymmetrically arranged group of stepped platforms and bleachers that descend to the thrust stage, on which is placed a circular ministage that's about the size of a tiny Manhattan living room. The songs and sketches about married life are performed on the ministage, while the songs that comment on the sketches are (mostly) sung from the platforms.
Mr. Brown and Brock Clawson, the choreographer, use this space flexibly but logically, the result being that you know at all times where you are and what you're seeing. This lets you concentrate on the show itself, and on the acting of the 14-person cast. Everyone keeps it simple—the performances are all rendered in bright primary colors—and Mr. Sondheim's score is both beautifully sung and played with cool clarity by the seven-piece pit band. Yet there's no lack of passion, least of all from Mr. Miller, who seems at first glance like an affable lightweight but soon reveals himself to be full of longing and doubt. Anyone tempted to parrot the whiskery cliché that Mr. Sondheim is cynical about marriage need only listen to Mr. Miller sing "Marry Me a Little" to learn otherwise. As for Bobby's friends and girlfriends, I was especially struck by Jess Godwin, Allison Hendrix, Blair Robertson and Alexis J. Rogers, but the whole ensemble deserves unstinting praise.
The virtues of Mr. Sondheim's songs are a known quantity: "Company" put him at the center of the map of American theater, and it remains one of his signal achievements. Furth's book too often gets short shrift by comparison, but Mr. Brown's staging makes it surpassingly clear that the sketches are as good as the score. I doubt you'll soon see a stronger, more sympathetic production of "Company," or one that moves you more deeply.

Online Website Directory Listing will Improve Your Business
Every website should look pleasing to the eye. Especially when you have a business website, with a lot of information that people would like to check out. If you have a business website, which simply does not get the kind of traffic that you anticipated means that you need your directory to be listed on the top results of a search engine. In the ever expanding online market, you are bound to find some tough competitors with an equally good website, but they have found premium ways to somehow increase their website traffic. Once your website listing appears in the top search results, you will stand a better chance of gaining business, as being the top result in the search engine is like sitting on a gold mine.
A very good and effective way to increase your page popularity is to join a good directory listing firm. These firms are online based and charge a reasonable fee to optimize your website. Also, another major aspect in gaining a good customer base is to choose a simple, easy to remember, yet unique name or address for your website. It is generally seen that even though you have wonderful graphics and nice artful content on your webpage, you lack the gush of visitors, because somebody else happens to have a website with almost a similar name. A chunk of your visitors might be ending up on his page rather than yours.
There are some very good professional directory listings out there, which help even a newbie by helping him/her on the uniqueness of their website address. These directories have a huge database with the names of almost all websites in the business. Hence, you need not worry about choosing an existing name, since the directory listing will warn you if such a directory already exists. So, choose a directory that is very user-friendly.
The best part about directories is that they will categorize your website based on the content. If your website addresses people with some medical information, they will categorize your website under health and fitness. Similarly, if your website gives a review on all consumer goods, your site will end up in the household category. So, your website will be neatly sorted out, removing any confusion. However, many renowned directory listings give you an option to register in a particular category, so that it would save them time in simply sorting the websites.
Sometimes, people register their website under general category, hoping to gain more viewers. However, this will only increase the directory listing firm's work, as they would now have to re-categorize your site and then start to optimize it. Thanks to their individual attention to each directory, you have nothing to lose, but gain from entering your listing in a good online directory. In order to get a better page rank, do not register in those directories, which have a 'no-follow' function. This will discard any user from entering your website, as the directory disables your link, which is not good news for you.

|Grey Cup champion - 1950 & 1952
William "Billy" Bass (1921 – September 28, 1967) was an all-star and Grey Cup champion running back in the Canadian Football League and one of the first players to break the colour barrier in Canadian football.[1]
Bass attended University of Nevada, Reno and Tennessee State University, and was surrounded in controversy when a Nevada, Reno game was canceled because Mississippi State University's football team would not play them because Bass (and another teammate) were "Negroes".[2] He started his pro career with the Chicago Rockets of the AAFC, where in 1947 he rushed for 44 yards and caught 8 passes for 79 yards. He then moved to Canada, where he played 11 games with the Montreal Alouettes.[3] After trying out with the Rockets in 1949, he then moved on to the Toronto Argonauts where he would play 45 regular season and 9 playoff games in 4 seasons, also being selected an All-Star in 1951.[4] He was also part of their 1950 and 1952 Grey Cup teams. Import player rules cost him his position with the Boatmen, but he played 1954 with the Ottawa Rough Riders[5] and was player coach with the Toronto Balmy Beach Beachers in his final season.
Bill Bass was one of the first group of African-American players to break the colour barrier in Canadian football, following the path blazed by Herb Trawick. He died September 28, 1967, at the age of 45.

Newest Electric Football Press…The Southern Missouri Buzzball League!
Another great piece on electric football came out today, Sunday, 3/29/2015. Check out the full article, photos and videos at the News-Leader newspaper from Springfield, Missouri.
The Read Option: Buzzball takes old-time football game to the next level
The tournament will have a $20 entry fee, with some of the proceeds to benefit Nixa Parks and Recreation, to help youngsters who want to participate in athletic programs but may not have the resources to pay the entry fees.
The most common brand name that young fans become acquainted with is Tudor Electric Football. It was under the Christmas tree for many fans in the pre-xBox and PlayStation era and usually came with a couple of teams — often the Super Bowl teams from the previous year. Other teams were available for purchase through a catalog.
But this is not your childhood version of electric football. The boards often are custom-made, with special-made tops that are painted to look like actual NFL team fields, with the same end zone designs and everything. And participants often have several teams, with home and road uniforms, to choose from.
The custom boards can cost $150-$200 if you can buy them at cost, or $300 retail. A good-quality set of team players — without the green bases – can run as much as $200.
"This is definitely a labor of love," said Steve Williams, the owner of Crosstown BBQ in Springfield and whose San Francisco 49ers team took on Bartels' Green Bay Packers team in a battle for NFC supremacy on Tuesday night.
"It's a passion that I've had since I was a kid. The problem is just trying to find somebody to play, and that's always been the problem."
Williams has been playing for 45 years. In the past, it came down to him often driving to Kansas City to play marathon weekend sessions with a friend. He would go up and they would play 12 hours at a time for three days straight, deciding entire seasons, playoffs and the Super Bowl. Statistics were kept, and they were at the point where they played 84 total full seasons, including Super Bowls.
Ask him how it got to this point, as a fan of the game from growing up, and the answer is as simple as it is explanative: "That's how all of us got to be the way we are."
And bring up the prospect of him giving up the game, and his response is just as simple: "Oh heck no. Quit? Are you kidding me?"
The 40-year-old Bartels was a fan and participant of the game from when he was a kid — "only the last 30 years" — and he came from his native New Jersey to attend Evangel in the mid-1990s. He met his wife and as a college student scraping by to make ends meet, he answered an ad in the newspaper looking for electric football supplies.
He called the number and Williams answered. Williams bought all of Bartels' teams — he had every NFL team, in both home and road uniforms, and a board that had a broken switch was thrown in for free.
So he was out of the game — until he got married and his wife decided to buy him back in as a birthday present in 1998. They started by checking for boards at Toys R Us. They found an entry-level one, with the Packers and Broncos teams included.
"So I've got this game," Bartels said. "I'm 24 years old, I'm coming out of Toys R Us with the game held above my head, saying 'Woooo!' "
Bartels called Williams again, bought back some of the extra teams Williams had on hand, and it was back on.
Since then, Bartels and his wife had four children and they moved back east. He started and ran a league in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for 14 years, and came back to the area last July, with all of his equipment. The plan was to keep it all packed away until they bought a house and moved out of their rental.
That went away when a co-worker saw photos on Bartels' Facebook page and convinced him to get it all unpacked and start playing again. The Southern Missouri Pro Buzzball League was born. With a college league to follow.
And it has a definite family connection. The league has three father-son teams and started with 10 teams before two left early. The college league will have a "rivalry week" where all the games are between fathers and sons.
"The younger guys like it because their dads play," Bartels said. "Just because a night out with Dad is awesome. I've had that for years, where the Dad plays and the son is like, "Hey, I want to play that." They just want to be with Dad and be part of it, and that's awesome to see."
Bartels has four kids, with two of them playing. His oldest daughter was into it until she became involved in music, "so that was the end of her career."
Bartels is in constant motion on league nights, taking photos in the aftermath of scoring plays throughout the room, the participants keep stats, and game photos and write-ups are posted online at www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=smpbl.
And if you're keeping score, Bartels' Packers used a 51-yard touchdown pass from Favre to Bennett, and another TD pass to Antonio Freeman to post a 14-0 victory and end the quest for the perfect season by Williams and the Niners. In the other game of the night, Anthony Leonardi's Baltimore Ravens claimed a 28-14 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals and Leonardi's 10-year-old son, Tony.
While Williams and Bartels are both married, their wives do not participate in the hobby. They both said their wives "get it," but aren't involved.
"For my wife, it's good because the house clears out for her on Tuesday nights," Bartels said. "My kids usually come with me. My youngest is 8, so he'll start playing next year in the pro league. He'll be ready to go, then the house will just be her and my oldest.
"So they're happy and we're happy."

One-Pot Barbecue Chicken Pasta loaded with bacon, chicken, cheese, and BBQ flavors cooked in one pot! Easy, cheesy, and absolutely tasty, it's the perfect weeknight meal!
I work full time Mondays to Fridays so most of the cooking I do for my two blogs happen on weekends. With about 7 to 9 recipes cramped in two days, you can just imagine the amount of pots and pans that pile up.
Bless G! He handles the mountain of soiled dishes with nary a peep. And bless easy-peasy dishes like this one-pot barbecue chicken pasta! I just love, love how I get to churn out such a delicious, satisfying meal with only ONE pot to deal with after.
When I saw this recipe, I knew right away it was going to be a hit at our dinner table. It's loaded with the flavors and textures G and I both adore–>sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, firm-to-bite pasta, moist chicken, gooey cheese, and, of course, bacon crumbles.
I modified this one-pot barbecue chicken pasta a little by adding chopped bell peppers and substituting fresh tomatoes for the canned and cream cheese for the milk. I also threw in a handful of green onions and crisp bacon crumbles just before serving for an additional pop of color and texture.
Oh boy! Was it indeed a hit! In fact, we sat and gobbled down our share with hardly a word between us until our plates were polished clean.
We paired the pasta with cheesy garlic bread and tossed salad for a truly amazing weeknight meal!
Watch the video and see how easy it is to make:
One-Pot Barbecue Chicken Pasta loaded with bacon, chicken, cheese, and BBQ flavors cooked in one pot! Easy, cheesy, and absolutely tasty, it's the perfect weeknight meal!
- 1/2 pound bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, cored and chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded, cored and chopped
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
- 4 cups chicken stock or water
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 1 pound uncooked penne pasta
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 green onions, ends trimmed and chopped
- bacon crumbles, optional
In a pot over medium heat, add bacon. Cook, stirring regularly until it begins to render fat.
Add onions, garlic and bell peppers. Cook, stirring regularly, until limp and aromatic.
Add chicken breast and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of the spoon, until softened and release juice.
Add chicken stock, barbecue sauce and red pepper flakes. Stir until combined and bring to a boil.
Add pasta and stir to prevent from sticking together. Lower heat, cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until pasta is cooked but firm to bite. Stir every 5 minutes to prevent pasta from burning and sticking to the pan.
Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, green onions, and if desired, bacon crumbles. Serve hot.

Listen up, road warriors. Searching for travel on your phone just got load easier. Hipmunk this morning announced an update that brings calendar integration to its already excellent search app. That means when you look for flights, the app knows that you've got a lunch in Sandusky, so don't bother with anything that gets you there at dinner. And it knows that you've got a breakfast meeting downtown, so maybe staying in the Bronx isn't such a hot idea, so let's not bother with hotels there. (We can hear our Brooklyn fans already cheering at that on principle anyway.)
The idea is that flipping back and forth between a calendar app and Hipmunk is a pain, and this update takes care of that. Meetings that conflict with flights show up on the screen. And the locations of events are shown alongside hotel listings. Invaluable stuff.
The calendar integration includes Google Calendar, Outlook and iCal, which should cover, oh, just about everyone. We've got download links and the full presser after th e break.

[How To] Create a Location Based Reminder in iOS 5
Welcome to iOS 5, as you all know that iOS 5 was launched on Wednesday this week. This fifth version of iOS brings up some super cool apps with itself. So here is the brand new app from iOS 5 called as Location Based Reminders, which is built in iOS 5. Using iOS 5′s geo-fencing APIs, both the iPad and iPhone apps will now alert you to a reminder when you are in the appropriate area. To use this app users first need to Enable & Sync iCloud with iCloud Reminders.
The configuration of this app is pretty simple just need a few steps as follows.
1. Go to app & open it, to add new reminder just click on the + sign which locates at the top right corner of app.
2. By default Reminder app has no reminder time added to it, to change this you need to create a new reminder.
3. Under that reminder name you have to type a appropriate name for a new created reminder. Remind me is been used.
4. Now there will be two options like On a Day or At a Location. In this instance, want to toggle at a Location to on.
5. User can have set a reminder for current location or he can just set reminder to a address he wants.
6. Once all this done, then user can choose whether he wants reminder to notify when he leaves or when he arrives.
7. Then finally just tap on done button on right hand corner. Yep that's it.
Now when you will leave or arrive that's specified, you should receive a push notification

Function Keys??? How to?
I was wondering how to get the blue function keys to work in linux.
I know you can program some of them. But the function (Fn) button plus a key with blue writing on it, how do you get it to work? Volume control for example, or play, forward and back....
Any ideas?

I just installed Fedora 7 yesterday and was wondering the same thing. The Function key for screen resolution works fine, but the others do not.
06-19-2007 #4
Try configuring your laptop to use the "Trust Wireless Multimedia" (I think that's the name).
It generally works for all of the function keys, I find it the most generic for all keyboards. Aside from the BIOS Fn controls such as battery the other keys like volume should work.Registered Linux user #378740

I just purchased Contagious last night after finishing another series. The sample really pulled me in and I think I'm going to love it.

Hi, I am Rachel Tshibuyi, I want you to get to know me a little more.
Since a very young age I have always known that I had a higher purpose and that my life had to impact people in a very positive way. I have always believed in winning, not in the way winning is known and seen. But in the long run winning in the traditional sense eventually happens and transpires in your everyday life after you win in this way I have been very fascinated about.
I am grateful that I have been blessed in so many ways, but I can tell you that it hasn't been granted to me on a golden platter! You see, I wanted to grow up and be someone great, but I never quite figured out what I wanted to do and how I could do it?
I continued focusing on myself (not knowing exactly how to do it at first). But I wanted to find out what this yearning and calling was about.
I graduated in Finance and Investment Management and it was finally time to build a career identity.
But Before that, I was fortunate to be mentored and coached during my University days which helped me to figure out that the only way I was going to become great and embody the yearning inside of me was to win over myself and master the only one important person in my life, Rachel T. As soon as I figured it out I was at absolute peace with myself. Because now, I had a defined target to conquer and win for sure in every aspect of my life whether personal or professional.

Johan Says....After my coaching session with Rachel I experienced that something shifted in my energy, and it was like magic - Click To See More!
Richard Says....She has leadership, charisma, relevance and patience. I consider her to be a rising star among transformational speakers and highly recommend her - Click To See More!
For the past 4 years now I have been on a journey of growing and developing my skills to fulfil one of my desires, which is to help other people also get to master themselves and ignite their inner winner and achieve their personal, professional and financial goals.
I believe that when you have a vision for greatness, inspiration and growth, it doesn't matter where you are or what you are going through at the moment, If you want to, you will find a way to successfully reach your goals.
Being a Transformational Life Coach and Speaker, I have the privilege to Enrich, and empower people to get total control of their LIVES while enjoying the Freedom and reward of helping others.
It's having an ongoing passion and being 100% committed to helping people become only the best version of themselves that drives me.
I am on a mission to reach out to as many people as I can and provide Inspiration, Love, Gratitude, Joy and Abundance in any area of their lives.
Because I know that despite the number of times you fall short, there is always a way to align yourself back up with appropriate help and correct actions.
I'd Love to hear from you or and connect!
One of the best things about what I do is getting to know people in my community. So, come and connect with me on Facebook and Twitter so we can hangout as I am there often! Make sure you say hello when you connect as I'll be looking forward to it.

First rule is to stay matte and protect the skin: my dermatologist does not believe in chemical sunscreeens , that is cream-based potions as they clog up the pores and cause breakouts, blackheads and white heads. The first time she ever got me to wear SPF powder on my face, it looked chalky and way too light. So after a bit of searching, I found Shiseido Solar Foundation in a range of darker colours that can match your body colour, the texture is on the thicker side but really long-lasting and will at least keep you shine free with very good coverage under the unforgiving sunlight.
Despite trying the darkest colours sometimes I do need to top it up with a bronzer, my favourite is Glam Bronze by L'Oreal Paris, it has a nice sexy smell and will not overload your skin with colour.
Trick number 2 is to always sport a coloured lip: while plain lipstick and gloss will run after a few minutes in the heat, Benetint from Benefit is an excellent product and a must have in every woman's make up pouch: you can dab it with its thin brush over your lips (moisturise them about 10 minutes before doing that), and you can intensify the colour by re-applying another layer. It will stain your lips to the desired intensity of natural rose colour and stay put for hours. In order to get fuller and luscious lips, I apply an SPF 15 chapstick on top, after it had dried; not only will your lips look natural but the colour will bring out your overall tan and eyes and look irresistible with your sunshades on.
The other essential rescue (more like a prevention kit) is to really moisturise your hair and keep it from cracking open and turning into straw. After washing your hair, always smother the lengths and the ends with Morroccan Oil leave-in treatment or a similar serum from Kerastase called Elixir Ultime. This will not weigh your hair down nor make it greasy, but it will do wonders in preventing dried out lengths and split ends. By treating your hair with oil like you would apply moisturiser to your face before going to bed, you are making it much more manageable pre and post beach.
The final weapon you need to keep with you is Kerastase Gelee Protectrice, it will physically coat your hair and prevent salt and chlorine from bonding to your hair and altering your colour.

Revenue forecast: "The Realm of OK"
The council gets the budget outlook. From left, Marty Brown, Ross Hunter, Ed Orcutt and Steve Lerch.
OLYMPIA -- While the map may say this is the state of Washington, a revenue forecast that is essentially no better or worse than February puts us "in the Realm of OK."
That was state Budget Director Marty Brown's take on the economic and revenue outlook for the rest of this fiscal biennium and the next, which has a net increase of $156 million out of $30 billion through the end of next June, and up about $197 billion for the two years after that.
After a string of down forecasts, a little blip up might be considered great news if there were less uncertainty in the national and international economies. And if the state wasn't facing a potential spike in education spending of $1 billion in 2013-15, $2.5 billion in 2015-17 and $3 billion in 2017-19.
The two leading gubernatorial candidates say the state can handle that kind of spending, from a Supreme Court ruling known as the McCleary decision, without a tax increase. Members of the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council were asked if they agree.
"This isn't a campaign event," replied Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Maybe not. But Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, the council president, said there was an extra $2.2 billion in revenue projected for the next biennium, so that might be considered "a yes we can meet that goal without a tax increase."
After the council adjourned, however, Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said he thinks the need to find money for McCleary will point out the state's long-running "structural problem" with its tax system that will need to be fixed. "In the next several biennia, we're going to need to have that discussion." So that might be considered a "no, we can't."

Hi everyone!
Even though it feels like Sunday on this Thursday, I'm ONE day away from finishing The Generosity Cleanse. I woke up this morning feeling great. Not just great, but I felt both a sense of calmness and excitement for the day. Of course, I don't know that the cleanse is 100 percent responsible, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with it.
I had the Glowing Green for breakfast again, but added a few peach slices this time. What I love about green smoothies is how creative you can be with the ingredients. I try stick to about 2 big handfuls of spinach, kale, romaine, or other greens, and about a cup of almond milk. Then I load it up with alkaline fruits and veggies and often some hemp protein and flax (not while I'm on the cleanse though). Here are some examples of alkaline fruits and vegetables:
- avocado
- beet
- celery
- carrot
- cucumber
- apple
- apricot
- banana
- blueberry
- mango
- orange
- peach
- pear
Alkaline food help balance the body's ph level. A body's ph level has an impact on all functions happening in our body, including how the body uses enzymes (which turn the food we eat into energy), minerals, and vitamins. This means that you need an adequate amount of alkaline foods for the body to do all of its essential functions, not to mention all the vitamins and enzymes you take in by eating fresh and organic alkaline fruits and vegetables.
For lunch I had Quinoa Tabouli over mixed greens. I soaked the quinoa in water for 24 hours, and then made a quick lemon and olive oil dressing to pour over the quinoa, diced cucumbers, and parsley. It was the first time I soaked quinoa, instead of cooking it, and it almost worked. There was still a bit more texture than I prefer after 24 hours. I left some soaking this morning and will see if I just needed to soak a bit longer or in a bigger bowl?
A cup of ginger tea in the afternoon, followed a by a handful of pecans and blackberries for snack.
I had an appointment after work, so I packed another packet of ginger tea to-go. I wish I packed another snack because I didn't get a chance to eat dinner until 8 o'clock again.
Pad Thai for dinner! It was squash and zucchini instead of noodles, and a sauce of peanut butter, lemon juice, honey, and liquid aminos. This is another one of those great recipes from The Generosity Cleanse.
Today I started analyzing "hunger". I'm realizing that the feeling I often call "hunger" is not real hunger, but another emotion – maybe frustration, anxiety or stress.
Tomorrow is the last day of the cleanse and I have much reflecting to do.

Huntington Beach Man Gets 10 Year Prison Sentence for Foreclosure Rescue Scam
United States Attorney Benjamin Wagner announced that Jeremy Michael "Mike" Head, 34, of Huntington Beach, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for operating a national foreclosure rescue scam.
Head was found found guilty in May 2013 by a federal jury that was tried in front of United States District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller. In September, Judge Mueller sentenced Mike Head's brother and co-defendant Charles Head, 40, to 35 years in prison.
According to prosecutors, Charles and Mike Head, without the knowledge of homeowners in distress, used straw buyers as substitutes on title for properties that had equity. The defendants then applied for mortgages to take whatever equity was available for the properties and shared it among themselves, netting in total over $15 million. The homeowners lost their equity and homes and their credit was severely damaged.
Here is what law enforcement and prosecutors had to say about Mike Head:
U.S. Attorney Wagner said: "Mike Head made a small fortune taking advantage of victims who looked to him for help. Instead of helping, he stole the last remaining equity in their homes, and many victims were evicted and left destitute. He will now go to prison and pay for his crimes. This office continues to vigorously prosecute multiple variations of mortgage fraud throughout our district."
"The scheme Head and his co-conspirators devised preyed upon individuals when they were most vulnerable and lived in fear of imminent foreclosure. Despite promises to help their victims avoid foreclosure, many were financially devastated by the scheme," said Special Agent in Charge Monica M. Miller of the Sacramento FBI. "The FBI is committed to thoroughly investigating complex mortgage fraud schemes, identifying all participants, and ensuring that those who have violated the trust of the American public face justice in federal court."
"Today's sentencing sends a clear message to those who commit mortgage fraud, the consequences can be severe," said Acting Special Agent in Charge Thomas McMahon, IRS-Criminal Investigation. "The defendants in this case have hurt so many people and so many of our communities. This sentencing highlights IRS-CI's commitment to hold accountable those involved in these types of crimes."

Nov 11, 2014
Nearly half of US companies use the cloud to help with disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity, a new report has revealed.
The CompTIA Fifth Annual Trends in Cloud Computing study found 48 per cent of organizations in the country now rely on the technology to quickly recover from catastrophic events.
According to the research, an increasing number of everyday business processes are being shifted to cloud, with nine out of 10 enterprises using the this form of modern IT to improve operational capacity.
DR in the cloud has significant benefits, allowing companies to continue running mission-critical functions when unforeseen problems arise. Potential issues include natural disasters, power outages and hardware or software failings.
For example, creating and maintaining multiple standby databases in the cloud means that in the event a primary database becomes unavailable, IT departments can switch to a binary copy to reduce downtime. Because these replicate databases are cloud based, they are protected from disasters that could destroy other backup measures kept in physical locations.
Furthermore, the latest real-time replication techniques ensure the data in the standby databases is synchronized to updates in the source system. In the event of a disaster, this minimizes data loss.
Aside from business continuity, the CompTIA study showed cloud computing is also used for storage and security purposes. Fifty-nine and 44 per cent of firms have shifted these functions to the cloud respectively.
Respondents cited reduced costs as the primary benefit of cloud computing, as there is limited upfront capital expenditure when compared with on-premise solutions.
The statistics also showed businesses aren't afraid to change services to select the best setup for their particular circumstances. One-quarter of firms had moved from a public to a private cloud in the past, while 44 per cent had shifted infrastructure and apps from one public cloud platform to another.

Seven golfers worth a punt for the Open Championship
The 144th Open Championship gets under way on the Old Course at St Andrews on Thursday. Here are seven contenders to lift the Claret Jug:
Jordan Spieth
It is impossible to look beyond the world number two, who is trying to claim the third leg of an unprecedented calendar grand slam following victories in the Masters and US Open.
Spieth only arrived in Scotland late on Monday afternoon after winning the John Deere Classic, but the 21-year-old is riding the crest of a wave and his putting will be a massive asset.
Odds: 5/1
Louis Oosthuizen
Oosthuizen won the Open the last time it was staged at St Andrews in 2010 but would not have been such a short price if not for his performance in the US Open last month, when he recovered from an opening 77 to finish joint second, just a shot behind Spieth.
Odds: 22/1
Rickie Fowler
Fowler finished runner-up behind Rory McIlroy at Hoylake last year and was in the top five in all four majors, although he admits his only real chance of winning was in the US PGA Championship. Responded to being labelled over-rated by fellow pros with a stunning victory in the Players Championship in May and produced a similar scoring burst to win the Scottish Open on Sunday.
Odds: 16/1
Martin Kaymer
Missed the cut in the defence of his US Open title at Chambers Bay and also in the BMW International on home soil, but finished fourth in the French Open in Paris and seems to thrive on tough courses.
His excellent long-range putting will also be crucial on the vast double greens at St Andrews.
Odds: 33/1
Victor Dubuisson
Dubuisson has struggled to reproduce the form which saw him make his Ryder Cup debut at Gleneagles last year, but was 12th on home soil in the French Open and 10th in the Scottish Open on Sunday.
He can also boast a round of 62 on the Old Course in the Dunhill Links in 2012 and just needs to keep his temper in check.
Odds: 80/1
Bernd Wiesberger
Like Kaymer, Wiesberger appears to relish playing on tough courses, losing a play-off for the Irish Open at Royal County Down and winning the French Open at Le Golf National thanks to a flawless closing 65.
A final round of 74 in the US PGA last year when in the final group with Rory McIlroy was no disgrace and his length off the tee will be an advantage.
Odds: 66/1
Alexander Levy
An unlikely choice due to relatively poor current form, but Levy is another long hitter who can produce a string of low scores when on song with the putter.
Carded three rounds in the 60s in the Scottish Open at Gullane last week.
Odds: 150/1

ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2008 -- (House of Representatives - July 17, 2007)
Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Chairman, I will not take my full 5 minutes. This amendment strikes an earmark for a project requested by myself and Congressman Sires who together represent the town of North Bergen, New Jersey.
The funds allocated in this bill would have gone towards the construction of a new public works building in North Bergen, New Jersey, that would have repaired and maintained all of the vehicles for that municipality, as well as all of the fire trucks for the surrounding five towns of Weehawken, Guttenberg, West New York and Union City.

I've had this come up in conversations in the past (and it's been on feedback for almost 3 years now), but just realized I never posted the (simple) extension method I use.
A comment on Brad's blog:
- # Milan Negovan said on July 4, 2005 5:59 PM:
- Brad, is there any reason why Contains, IndexOf and such don't have an override with StringComparison?
(Whidbey actually added it for IndexOf and LastIndexOf, as per the feedback link)
A comment on the BCL team blog:
Thursday, April 06, 2006 3:13 AM by Andrew Webb
# Finish off the String class
Add a StringComparison parameter to the Contains and Replace methods of the String class.
While I could add it for Replace as well, I only typically need Contains.
public static class ExtensionMethods { // BCL should really include this public static bool Contains(this string self, string value, StringComparison comparison) { return self.IndexOf(value, comparison) >= 0; } }

One of the inescapable realities of the music industry in the 21st century is that more musicians are recording themselves today than ever before.
Some engineers and studio owners lament this trend, citing shrinking budgets, dwindling audio fidelity – even the decimation of genres that rely on the sound of seasoned musicians coming together in real-time.
But for each of these critiques, it's not hard to find a counter-example – some recordists owe their whole careers to this same trend. Although average budgets may have decreased, the sheer volume of self-recording musicians who seek help with basic tracking, mixing and mastering has doubtlessly contributed to the recent rise in the number of working audio engineers.
This new abundance of self-recording projects doesn't tell a story of full-scale retreat from the conventional studio world. Instead, many of the self-recorded albums that register on our radars are ones that – just a generation ago – might never have been made at all.
Why Self-Record?
Regardless of how you feel about home recording, the reasons why musicians choose to self-record may be different than you think.
Of everyone I interviewed while selecting bands for this story, none focused on the cost of recording. Although a handful of them did incredible things on rudimentary systems, a number of the musicians I asked spent far more in making their self-recorded albums than they would have for a week or two of tracking time at a mid-level studio. Even the ones for whom money was a limiting factor stressed the personal reasons behind their choices.
Likewise, not one of them told me that self-recording was simpler, easier, or faster. "I'm not sure if it's actually possible to record quickly when you record at home," one confided. "The process honestly, was really, really drawn out and very inefficient," said another with the kind of laugh you make when you're remembering something that wasn't quite as funny when it was happening.
But for all their playful commiserating, none of these artists regretted their choice – even if they'd do things differently the next time around. That's why I wanted to hear the stories in their own words. Too often, we studio people focus on what self-recording musicians lose, rather than on what they gain…

Denmark 101
One of my best received projects has been my Denmark 101 series where I break down and explore core realizations and commentary on Denmark, Danish culture, Copenhagen, and the Danes. The series has received general praise for foreigners and Danes alike, with the most common point of distinction being my ability to unlock the core motivations and drivers at the heart of different Danish behaviors and activities. This has led many of the Danes who have viewed, liked, and shared the videos to note that it's one of the few Expat-based series discussing the Danes that's accurate, largely positive, and on point.
Jump to YouTube to view the Denmark 101 series which now consists of more than 35 videos and is constantly growing.
Danish Videos
In addition to my Denmark 101 series, I regularly post videos from and about Denmark. Sometimes these are simple uploads documenting daily life, other times they're commentary, and others are more polished pieces.

Ask yourself these two quick questions to determine if your customer survey research is getting stale or in jeopardy of becoming stale:
- When is the last time you did something for the first time? Voice of Customer (VoC) programs should evolve as the business objectives and strategy evolves. If you haven't done something for the first time in the past 12-18 months, your program is at risk of getting stale.
- How old are your stories? Some VoC success stories can withstand time, but you can't continually rely on these. Your customer strategies should be making new stories every year.
