I was in this morning> They opened at 9 there was a line by 8:50. First three people bought 25 or so of the 30 croissants that were ready. Got a banquette and iced coffee both were fantastic.

Extremely, extremely poor planning here. We've been several times and got a loaf of bread once. One has to question the business sense behind the operation and how long it will be around. I'm in no rush to go back.
Plus, the huge table with shared jelly seems weird. It might work for groups, but two friends arne't going to want sit next to strangers who can hear what they're saying. - AnonymousJuly 17, 2011 at 6:36 PM
I've been making bread for about a week. I use a breadmaker machine to prepare the dough, then mo;d the loaf, cover it with a slight coating of egg white and corn meal. The bread comes out in about a ha;f hour.

They should change the name to "La We Have No Bread" even though we are a "bakery". I stopped by this morning at 8:45 am on my way to work. I thought I would support a local establishment and to my surprise there were NO Chocolate Croissants and there were a mere 6 loaves of bread in the basket. I mean Excuse me - you are running a bakery. In the words of an old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the Bread?"
I would love for these people to get their act together but I do not see the same pleasant attitude that Emily's owners have. They told us to be patient that more was coming and they were right. Emily's went from homey to Country Chic.
I would suggest these owners talk to Emily's owners.
Again, I just do not understand how you open a bakery and have no product to sell when someone in walking to the train. I would think this would be their primary existence. Well, Gotta Get a Bagel did have a bagel at the ready. I know this situation may be frustrating to some people, but as the owner of this blog and one who obsesses about almost every little thing that happens here in Forest Hills all I can say is what a refreshing change! To actually have a place that people want food from so badly they are angrily denouncing the place because it does not have enough! I am thrilled! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, as you wrote, they did indeed have six loaves of bread so it is not like they had "no product." And this is from their Facebook page, FYI:
"Due to overwhelming demand, for several days, La Boulangerie will have limited hours as well as a limited menu. We are doing everything in our power and quickly increasing our baking staff in order to meet all your needs.
We apologize for the inconvenience and feel truly blessed by your warm welcome to Forest Hills."- AnonymousJuly 18, 2011 at 11:26 AM
They do need to step it up and bake a whole lot more bread! They need to take a look at 'Gotta
get a Bagel' and see what kind of demand a busy metropolis like Forest Hills puts on a business serving breakfast food! The bread is sooo delicious - it's worth ordering it in advance, but it's definitely a turn-off to arrive at a bakery and they're out of bread in the morning! I hope they figure it out quickly. - AnonymousJuly 18, 2011 at 2:25 PM
I have no dog in this fight. I want to see all businesses succeed as this side of Austin Street has been ignored for too long.
However, you seem to be somewhat partial in this instance. You have personally condemned other businesses for such failings. They are a bakery and make only bread. So, explain how you do not have bread. Was the oven broken, baker late, give me some explanation. There is none. I have lived in Forest Hills long enough (10 years) to know there was NO mad rush prior to 8:45 am this morning to wipe them clean out of bread.
I remember you recently remarking how "disappointed" you were with Emily's. They actually had product to sell from candies, to truffles, to cups, bags and more.
Yet, you now defend the indefensible. There is no possible excuse to have a mere 6 loaves of bread at 8:45 am. They are a bakery! I suggest the owners go to Gotta Get a Bagel, Martha's and Europan to see how a bakery is to be run.
Sorry for the strong nature of this post but it seems like you are being partial.
Thank You,
George S. Never said I was disappointed in Emily's as far as I can recall. Liked the idea of the candy store from the start. Unless I am forgetting one minor comment or instance. Show me where I said it.
Also, I don't condemn personally anything or anyone. If I don't think a business is very good, I simply don't spend much time covering it anymore.
I stand by what I said in my other comment. Much rather have a great business selling awesome food that people can't get enough of and need to wait on line to get. We need more places like that.- AnonymousJuly 18, 2011 at 2:54 PM
We are arguing the same side of the same coin. I want this bakery to succeed. Make no mistake about it. I love fresh baked bread. I just do not believe the story being put out that there was such an overwhelming demand that they sold out everyday before 9am. Come on. That does not even happen on the busiest streets in Manhattan. And, if the demand is that great, maybe I will open a bakery and hire a baker to bake bread and have bread to sell.
Here is your comment about Emily's verbatim and you will note the word "disappointing". I say is it NOT disappointing to go to bakery that professes to sell bread and they have no bread. The French would start a revolution over such things.
A friend of mine felt the exact same way you do, that much of the candy could be found in any drugstore. That is disappointing. Hopefully, they will introduce some more hard-to-find candy, like some of the older nostalgia brands, or even their own store brand.
On a more positive note, I have to say it's a very cute little place and when I went in today it was very crowded - a lot of kids in there. So it is already on its way to becoming a neighborhood favorite. It's a very good idea - there isn't another store like it on Austin.
I haven't tried the cake slices - if you do, let us know what you think.
George S. - AnonymousJuly 18, 2011 at 3:10 PM
My theory is that they are simply well meaning, talented owners and baker who are incompetent when it comes to running a business.
They need a manager - who understands supply and demand.
That is all. I will try the Vienna Cafe soon.
I hear the Europan / Aged owners took over block buster, any news on that.
George S. - AnonymousJuly 20, 2011 at 1:40 PM
Running a Bakery is a lot of work that start at 1AM in order to have bread ready in the morning. I don't think La Boulangerie's owner start that early.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 21, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Well, when you have a single person buying up 25 of the 30 croissants available (see a previous post by an anonymous contributor -- not me -- on July 16, 2011 at 11:17 AM), no wonder they run out of product early! Best if those kinds of people had a bit more consideration for all those others in line!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 24, 2011 at 9:37 AM
Here is the simple truth about this place.
Multigrain Nut Bread - Excellent
Bagette - Great when out of oven, Crisp, tasty - 1 hour later it is rubber. Litterally rubber.
Plain Croissant - Bought two - both slightly burnt - would rate good to Ok - nothing exceptional
Chocolate Croissant - Should have went back for a refund - There was so little chocolate, they should have called it - a croissant with a chocolate chip and the chocolate was bitter.
Overall rating - had better at naturals except for the Multigrain Bread which was great. Everything else is simply Ok.
I will try from time to time but there is really nothing that will keep me going back over and over.
Oh, I have been there now a couple of times - and waited to post to see how they are developing. I DO NOT believe the story of the 30 croissant taker. Its pure fantasy and probably written by the owner of the store. Of course everyone's experience is different but I feel like I had to put my two cents in about the following:
I had the chocolate croissant yesterday and found it to be great. Plenty of chocolate.
I've gotten the bagette two times. I don't know what you mean by rubbery. I had one of them over 3 days and each day it was a thousand times better and fresher than any breads I have bought in the supermarket.- AnonymousJuly 24, 2011 at 3:34 PM
I just purchased the bagette - I have to agree with the anonymous - I would agree Rubber in the sense of chewy - not the least bit of crackle.
Croissant - I have not been lucky enough to taste yet - NEVER have any. I know they exist because people talk about them - just have not been able to get one.
I have to disagree with you Drake - Naturals is overall a better experience.
I wish them well - but probably wont go back.

UPDATE: We are going ahead with G&Ms so that Ben can blame me if the food sucks. Ben will collect our British friends up at their hotel and light rail them to North Linthicum where Amy and I will pick them up, along with CJ. We can probably plan on getting to G&Ms round about 7:15.
The time is going to be 6:54 to meet up at the North Linthicum light rail stop, Amy, I and CJ will pick Ben and the gents up and head over. Look for a 7:05 to 7:10 arrival. I will make reservations once we have a head count.
Excellent. Do they have crab cakes?

So being picky myself, I can understand the many reasons kids can be so selective about their eating preferences. As the mom of 3 amazing children, it can be a challenge to find foods that my kids will eat that aren't simply loaded with sugar. Especially at breakfast time. With so many breakfast cereals being incredibly full of artificial sweeteners, it can be hard to find alternatives. That's why I love Kix cereal! You know. Kix! They've been a mainstay in households across the country for decades. I remember eating Kix when I was a kid! And since I am ancient, according to my 11 year old, that was a LONG time ago!
Why has Kix enjoyed such staying power? They're kid-tested and mother-approved! Kids love the slightly sweet taste and crunch that Kix offers, and since they're made with whole grain corn and are free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, moms can feel good about choosing Kix as their go to breakfast cereal. Kix is even an excellent source of iron, and contains calcium, fiber, and Vitamins C and D, which are necessary nutrients for growing kids.
But what my kids love most about Kix is that they're fun to eat, plain and simple. These crunchy corn-balls are genius in their simplicity, and kids seem to love them! Even though they don't have marshmallows or crazy shapes and colors. My 11 year old and my toddler both enjoy eating Kix for breakfast as well as for snacks! I often carry a tupperware container full of Kix for my princess while we're on the go!
I would definitely recommend Kix cereals to families with growing children. This tasty cereal offers vital nutrition and tastes so good, your kids will be sure to love it!
For more information about Kix Cereal, please visit their website.
One very lucky follower will be receiving 6 BOXES of Kix Cereal! Just in time for back to school!
This giveaway is open to US Residents 18+ and will be open until 12:01AM EST on 9/01/2011. Winners will be chosen at random and will be announced here, tweeted, shared on Facebook, and contacted via e-mail. The winners will have 48 hours to reply and claim their prize.

More than likely, I'd throw a Roc at it. Soft landing below the basket (at least I hope)
LHBH ESP wasp
My newest wizard thrown with a touch of anny to stay clear of the tree on the right, aim to the right of the pin and ideally the disc would be just starting to flex out as it hits the ground and lands flat and sits on the lush grass. Maybe throw a X buzzz same line if the hole plays much longer than 280.
Hyzer flip a beat roc.

- - empty tank
empty tank Ok so I finnally relocated all of my mollies out of the little tank and back into the big tank so now I have an empty 20 gal. Any ideas anybody what should I put into this tank now? |
no they are in the tank with the adult mollies so they will only get eaten if another mollie eats them. |
gotcha |
I vote for a pair of Puffers!!!! but of course...I might be a little puffer biased. |
how about planted,nice bits of bog wood then some rams. |
What kind of paramaters do the puffers need like what temp, and how much salt? |
you could have fresh water dwarf puffers. agressive when they mature,but oodles of personality. |
There are Dwarf Puffers that are fresh water puffers. You also have a range of puffers that do well in Brackish conditions and then salt water as well.... you might check out www.thepufferforum.com They have a pufferpedia which explains them. They are not that hard to maintain, but they are aggressive fish, cute and they do learn to recognize you, and will come straight to the tank glass and beg for food... you can see here on utube... YouTube - Green Spotted Puffer Fish Eats MealWorm South American Puffers are less aggressive, but they all get aggresive as they get older. |
I forgot to add about the South American Puffer, less aggressive, BUT...you have to do some teeth care occasionally, requires sedating fish with clove oil....etc.... Other puffers teeth stay ok without trimming as long as you feed snails and stuff with shells... Good Luck! |

how 3-d printing may revolutionize manufacturing and have major social implications
2 comments:
- san said...
lol, I'm very glad to see you speaking in support of this technology, which I find to be very disruptive, economical and eco-friendly.
I recall you told me once about how as a kid you knew a handyman who could fashion anything for you in short order.
Well, imagine a world where large trucks aren't barreling down the road to ship all kinds of goods to stores which no longer have to maintain large inventories of every item. Instead, those stores can simply print out products on demand. The only thing that trucks would have to deliver to stores are raw materials in powdered form.
This would mean much less need for trucking and transport, and a much more efficient economy consuming far less fuel/energy.
People would be able to manufacture all sorts of sophisticated items without needing sophisticated mass-production assembly lines. Capital costs would be reduced, and the entry barrier to manufacturing would be lowered. Just like how PCs and printers ushered in the desktop publishing revolution, likewise PCs and 3D printers could usher in a home engineering/manufacturing revolution. - 2/12/2011 8:40 AM

Oh, and consider that it's this type of approach to manufacturing that could allow India to defeat reigning champ China, and unseat it from its throne. A technology like rapid prototyping would favour individual-oriented societies over ones that demand conformity and worker-ants.

Testing for Purchasing Power Parity: Econometric Issues and an Application to Developing Countries
There is now a vast literature on testing purchasing power parity (PPP). Any test is conditional on a particular econometric specification that embodies a set of auxiliary assumptions. This paper reviews the issues involved in econometric specification and estimation in the time series and panel models used to test PPP. The others start from a general model and then systematically examine the implicit restrictions that are imposed to obtain the standard procedures and discuss the implications of these procedures for estimation and inference. The issues are illustrated on data for a panel of thirty-one developing countries, 1966-90. Copyright 1999 by Blackwell Publishers Ltd and The Victoria University of Manchester

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Incubation programs have proved a valuable tool to strengthen local economies and cultivate new companies and that reality hasn't been lost on Birmingham, Alabama.
True, Birmingham may never be mentioned in the same breath as California's Silicon Valley or New York's Silicon Alley – not to mention Austin, Los Angeles, London, Tel-Aviv and others – but stars are aligning to beef up that city and state's tech credibility. Innovation Depot, an incubator and economic development program, has been working to support early stage technology companies and has seen those it's taken under its wing stay local.
The non-profit has received funding from the city, Jefferson County and The University of Alabama at Birmingham but the majority from private sources. The program, whose headquarters is in what was an abandoned Sears department story near the city center reopened in 2007, has 92 companies working under its banner, employing 540 people. About 90% of the companies that go through the program stay close to home when they graduate.
On average, companies stay within the Innovation Depot fold for about four years. "Our job is to work intimately with these companies every day providing resources, access to resources, access to expertise, introductions to investors, capital sources, professional resources," said Devon Laney, Innovation Depot's COO.
Though the economic development program has been operating since 1987, its new building and new name represent a rebirth, of sorts, plus a focus on technology.
One of the program's winners is MedMined, a biotech firm that grew out of the University of Alabama Birmingham, graduated from the incubator in 2004 and was acquired by in 2006 for over $100 million. The four founders of MedMined went on to start up three new companies, two of which are in the program right now.
A 2012 graduate of the Depot is Motus, a motorcycle company that employs an in-house designed and patented V-4 engine. "The engine that they designed and developed was the world's first direct-inject, liquid cooled V-4 engine," said Laney. The company emerged from the program now manufactures from a facility in downtown Birmingham and will ship its first bikes this fall, according to a report.
CTS, a developer of enterprise software, also began within the Innovation Depot program – graduating in 2006 – and now has six locations in several states.
To be accepted into the program, companies submit their business plans, not an application. Making it through the gauntlet and into the Depot means proving that your startup is tech-based, has high growth potential, that you're willing to commit yourself full-time to developing your company and the business is fundable or already funded (i.e. you could convince someone to put money behind it). About 15% of accepted companies do not get through the program.
When I asked Laney whether Innovation Depot takes equity he said no. Why not? The program does not invest any money into its companies. "Our metric for success purely is on the outcomes," says Laney. "What outcomes these companies are having on the Birmingham region and what does that look like in terms of jobs, in terms of pure earnings impact—economic impact on the city."
Innovation Depot at least insist that companies stay in Alabama once they've completed the program? It is a tool of economic development, after all. Laney says no, that's not necessary.
"Because it's where they've grown up, it's where their business has grown up," he said. "Being in the innovation depot acclimates people to the advantages of being in the city center. They understand the proximity to the resources."

my frig and freezer won't stay cold!
Model Number: GSL22JFPCBS Brand: GE Age: 5 - 10 years
Hi, I'm hoping I guessed correctly, because I just ordered a new thermostat. The freezer is melting from the top down and the frig is hardly cold. I have both controls at the second to highest setting. This started a few days ago. I pulled out the frig and vaccuumed inside the panel. We have 5 dogs, so that definitely needed to be done, but unfortunately, it didn't make a difference. My mother in law just moved in with us a few weeks ago, and when I came home from work, the refrigerator door was not shut all the way. I don't know how long it was open for. Ever since then, I've had cooling issues. Do you think it's the motor? A side note, I have noticed for a while, the the doors are quite warm. I've noticed it on the outside of the frig and freezer, on the sides where the handles are. Thanks, I appreciate any help I can get. Robin Related Models |

"People just keep buying homes,"
Mark Vitner
"The biggest mistake of economists over the past 20 years ... We've consistently underestimated growth."
"The relief money is coming in much faster than it has for any other natural disaster that I can remember. That should help minimize some of the hit on consumer spending,"
"It will take longer for Louisiana and Mississippi to recover from the storm than Florida last year, ... Resource- and agriculture-reliant areas just don't do as well."
"Flood damage does not tend to be as insured. The lack of insurance is likely to cause the recovery to be delayed,"
"It is important to look at what consumers are doing, not what they are saying,"
"So even if tomorrow's ISM report does not show anywhere near the weakness the Chicago report does, we could still see some follow through in the next month's numbers."
"it's somewhat surprising how resilient the economy has been, despite higher energy prices."
"A very high proportion of that job growth is occurring in high-paying professions. This is a demand-driven market and demand vastly exceeds supply."
"It (consumer sentiment) was a little higher than expected, but the stock market has come back, gasoline prices have come down, and the weather has been beautiful and that has to affect consumers somewhat."

Softball Gets Back in the Win Column on Saturday
March 10, 2012
WASHINGTON - Georgetown University softball (9-14) fell in a close morning game to St. Francis (Pa.) (6-6) 1-0 and beat Howard (1-14) for the second time this season by a score of 8-1.
Despite the low score, both Georgetown and St. Francis (Pa.) got out to a quick hitting start in the morning contest. Megan Hyson (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) and Shikara Lowe (Beaverton, Ore./Jesuit) both hit singles to get on base, and Cara Savarese (Syosset, N.Y./Syosset) was walked. Georgetown left the bases loaded at the bottom of the first. Hyson singled again in the third inning, getting around to third off a SAC bunt from Elyse Graziano (Floral Park, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy), and a hit from Mackensey Carter (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) to force the fielder's choice that got Lowe out at second. St. Francis scored the only run of the game in the fourth inning after loading the bases. The Blue & Gray couldn't find an answer and didn't tally a hit for the remainder of the contest. Georgetown had three hits in the game, with Hyson going two-for-three and Lowe going one-for-three. Carter, Lauren O'Leary (La Canada, Calif./La Canda), and Hyson split pitching time, with Carter pitching four innings. In the second game, Georgetown got on base early and never looked back. The Hoyas scored four of their eight runs in the first two innings, with Samantha Findling (Norcross, Ga./Norcross) picking up two RBI off a single to left field. The second inning saw the return of Alexandria Anttila (Antioch, Ill./Antioch Community) to the offense, as she hit a double to bring Taylor Koenig (Akron, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) home to score. Anttila then scored herself on a SAC fly from Graziano. Georgetown kept up the consistent offensive performance against Howard with two runs apiece in the fourth and seventh innings. Six players had one hit for the Hoyas, to go with six players that had at least one RBI. Hyson pitched the win in seven innings with six strikeouts. The Hoyas wrap up the Florida Gulf Coast Tournament against Stony Brook tomorrow.

8 the houses we went to see today.

That's a lot of houses. And a lot of workouts (yay for you!). You're getting a lot done. Maybe you need a different realtor.

Wow, what a week. Question: 5 houses were a definite no, 1 you'd go see again, 1 that may have cooked non-food. What about the eighth house?
I'm glad you've had a good time. I can't wait to see the house you finally choose. - 8:34 AM

District Judge Horace Ward provided what could prove to be a short-lived reprieve for the 31- year-old so that he could have more time to study the case.
But prison officials said that the execution had been re-scheduled for midnight tonight, British time.
Earlier, the battle to save Ingram had seemed irrevocably lost, as Georgia's Pardons and Paroles Board rejected his appeal for clemency, and grim preparations had entered the final death watch phase. His head and leg had been shaved as the first stage of the journey to the electric chair.
Less than four hours before the stay, Ingram had bade last farewells to his parents and family. Prison officials told reporters that he had been in "angry and irritable" mood. When asked whether he wanted to make a last statement, and told it would be taped, he replied: "I don't have anything to say to you or that tape recorder."
Judge Ward seems to have ordered the stay to study the issue brought up by the defence, that Cambridge-born Ingram was so drugged by the Georgia state authorities with the tranquiliser Thorazine during his 1983 trial that he could not help his attorneys defend him.
Before the reprieve was announced, his mother, Ann, said as she left the prison, having visited her son for what she thought had been the last time: "I couldn't believe how brave he was, he wasn't crying. We're the ones who are breaking up.
"How do you think it feels to see your son for the last time, hug him and kiss him, and know you'll be making his funeral arrangements a few hours from now?" she added, choking back tears.
Nine hours earlier, Ingram's hopes appeared dashed when the state's Pardons and Paroles Board unanimously turned down his appeal for clemency.
A sombre Wayne Garner, the board's chairman who, along with his four colleagues, held Ingram's life in his hands, said: "Our unanimous opinion was the punishment fits the crime."
Echoing the overwhelming support for the death penalty across the US, the silver-haired Mr Garner said in his southern drawl that "there are crimes so violent, so heinous, that it [capital punishment] is proper".
In reaching its "very difficult" decision, he left no doubt that the board's discussions with the victim's relatives had weighed more heavily than the pleas for mercy from Ingram's own family at Wednesday's hearings - and his unprecedented 20-minute face-to-face meeting with Ingram that evening in his 9ft by 6ft cell at the macabrely named Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, 40 miles south of Atlanta.
Ingram's is the first capital case since Mr Garner became the board's chairman. "We don't parole life sentences without one member of the board interviewing them," he said later. "How can I make a decision to execute a man without at least looking him in the eye?"
David Marshall, of the British Bar's Human Rights Committee, who is helping with the defence here, described Ingram as in "a state of terror".
All that, however, counted less than the views of Mary Sawyer, wounded when Ingram, during a drunken crime binge, shot and killed her husband, JC Sawyer, on 3 June, 1983. Five months later, on his 20th birthday, he was condemned to die.
Earlier, Ingram exchanged last farewells with his family according to a carefully organised schedule - first with aunts and brothers, and then with his sister, and finally with his American father, Johnny, and his mother. He was also seen by a "non-Christian spiritual adviser".
Even before the Pardons Board delivered its expected judgment, Ingram's main lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith, had started the ritual "judge-hunt", hoping for a sympathetic judge to issue a stay, so that new evidence could be brought. First on the list for his faxed appeals was the Georgia Supreme Court, which rejected lawyers' pleas. But then they went to the federal district court which granted the stay of execution.
Fifty-three Labour MPs, the President of the European Parliament, hundreds of ordinary people around the world and the Archbishop of Canterbury had appealed for clemency.
But outside Georgia the affair has gone virtually unnoticed in the US, apart from Ann Ingram's vain appeal to John Major to intercede. This reflects the strong support for the death penalty in America. In Georgia that support runs at 90 per cent.

Alpaca Wool
An animal that originated in the Andes Mountains of South America is perfectly acclimated to our high-altitude climate. Their wool is incredibly soft and warm — something we're grateful for during the winter months. You can find alpaca yarn and hats, sweaters, scarves, socks and more made with it all over the state.
A Few Places to Find It:
• Estes Park Wool Market (June 10–11, 2017)
• Little Circle Farm Alpacas in Penrose (yarn skeins adorably come with the name and photo of the friendly alpaca it originated on)
• Peak Ranch's Alpaca Boutique in Monument
• Gentle Spirit Farm in Wiggins
All-Natural Beauty Products
Creams, balms, sprays, essential oils, soaps and more — at this altitude, we gotta work to keep a moisturized, healthy glow. Many crafty artisans are turning raw local ingredients into luxurious substances we want to rub all over ourselves.
A Few Faves:
• Calendula Creme from Green Earth Farm, made in small batches with many herbs grown on site in Saguache; find it at Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage and other retailers who care about hydrating your skin.
• Elbert's Naked Goat Farm: Buy their Baby Goat Body Cream and other soothing salves at the Cherry Creek Farmers' Market in Denver.
• Little Moon Essentials in Steamboat Springs; we especially like the Sleep Comes Easy Pack and the terrifically named Tired Old Ass Cream.
Our dry, sunny climate is ideal for growing this versatile plant, and nearly 40 growers across the state are stocking us with dried bundles that are great for decoration or fragrant sachets, pillows and potpourris, as well as soothing lotions, creams and soaps made with lavender oils. (We should note that there are some forms you should eat — lavender wines, shortbreads and more are growing in popularity across the state.)
A Few Places to Find It:
• Colorado Lavender Festival in Palisade (July 7–9, 2017)
• Farmers' markets and food stands everywhere
• Lamborn Mountain Farmstead in Paonia
• St. Kathryn Cellars, Neilsen Vineyard and High Country Orchards in Palisade

Input your desired horizontal and vertical selections for "Blur Radius" and press "OK." You can additionally insert light and shadow effects by clicking on "Filters" and "Light and Shadows," selecting one of the relevant options such as "Gradient Flare" and following the accompanying prompt.
Change the opacity of your matte. View the "Layers" toolbar by clicking on "Windows," "Dockable Dialogs" and "Layers." At the top of the Layers box, there is an "Opacity" scrollbar you can use to change the visibility of your border. A level of 0 makes the layer completely transparent whereas a level of 100 makes the layer completely opaque.
Save the file when you are done creating your matte by clicking on "File" and "Save As." Type in the name you want to assign the file and follow it up with a picture extension such as JPG.
Tips & Warnings
- You can insert text onto the matte such as "True Love" or "Family is Forever." Click on the "Text Tool" located in the main toolbar and click on the workbook itself. Type in the desired text, adjusting the font, size and color as desired. Use the "Move" tool located in the main toolbar to re-position the text where you want it to go.
- In order to save the multi-layer file as a picture, you will be prompted to "Export File" after you click "Save." This process will flatten your image so it can be converted into the chosen format.

Sew Cool
Monday, April 30, 2012
alright, don't laugh ; ) but this was my attempt at sketching out this idea I had of a really cool girl carrying some fabric and her sewing machine. I contacted Brooke, who has a wonderful shop on etsy full of beautiful illustrated artwork, and asked her if she could do a custom design for me. She said yes and got right to work.
Here are a couple of rough sketches Brooke did. When she sent the first set of images over it was almost perfect. The only changes I wanted to make were to take away her smile, and I wanted the sewing machine to show instead of it being in a case.
after the artwork was finalized, it was time to add color.
This was the final image that I decided on until I started shopping around for a screen printer. Come to find out, we had way too many colors and it would have been way to difficult to print every color : (
I would hate to see her go to waste so I'm thinking about doing some note cards/stationary with this print.
We changed the color palate to something a bit more simple and voila!! She's ready to be printed on to some fabric so that I can make some tote bags : ) Now, if only I can come up with a name for her. Any suggestions?
Thanks again Brooke for all that you've done. You are very easy to work with and your quick responses to e-mails are much appreciated!

Mom Confessions
Featured Posts
It really bothers me that moms now-a-days think that they have the right to keep a child away from their father because he's an "ass" or jerk or because they don't need him to help them raise the child. Well maybe their child needs their father, maybe they should be able to make the choice when they are older. It's not all about the mom. If she thinks the guy is such a jerk then she shouldn't have put out. Dad's matter. Kids need dads and it's not up to moms to decide that. Be civil don't say bad things about children's parents to them.

If he physically threatens her, no. But she should know her father.
Quoting ALWsMomma:
My neices dad was in prison the first 6 years of her life. When he got out he busted the windows out of my sisters apartment and destroyed her car. 3 years later he is trying to get partial custody. He is an ass... should he be allowed around my neice? -

There is an investing adage that basically states high yield = high risk. All investors understand this wisdom. But what if you find a high yield stock, and the company has a low PE ratio and a low liabilities to equity ratio? Is the company still a good investment?
One additional measure of a company's ability to pay its dividends is the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). This ratio indicates how much of a company's revenue goes into paying out its dividend to shareholders. For example a company with a Dividend Payout Ratio of 60%, would pay out 60% of its earnings to shareholders, while retaining 40% of that income.
Dividend Investors focus on the DPR, because it indicates a company's ability to continue paying dividends, and the likelihood that a company will be able to increase its dividend in the future. Obviously a company with a lower DPR will be able to raise its dividend. The DPR can also help to determine (1) if a company is paying all of its earnings as dividends, (2) leveraging or depleting cash to continue paying its dividends, or (3) leaving extra cash flow for future expansion and operating expense. Investors also focus on the DPR, because a company with a DPR over 100% may not be able to continue to pay its dividends, or may cut the dividend.
Dividend investors like to purchase stocks with a DPR of 60% to 70% 30% to 60% as there is also room in the company for future growth, and possible dividend increases. Big utilities on the other hand often have a higher DPR, because they have no room for future growth. So they payout their cash flow as dividends, and thus have slightly higher dividend yields. The concern is a company which has a high DPR over 100%, must either borrow or deplete cash, to make the difference or cut its dividend to remain competitive.
Recently My Own Advisor discussed the DPR for TransAlta Corp. with a current Dividend Payout Ratio of over 107%. He actually phoned their investor relations department, and asked them flat-out if the dividend was sustainable, or whether they were planning to cut the dividend.
How to Calculate the Dividend Payout Ratio
The DPR is very easy to calculate and you should take it into consideration with the rest of your research. The key figures you need are EPS (earnings per share) and the dollar amount of the Annual Dividend. This information is easily obtainable from the Globe and Mail and many other financial sites.
Dividend Payout Ratio = (Annual Dividend / EPS) * 100
For example, Rogers Communications (RCI.B) has an annual dividend of 1.42 / EPS of 2.64. Therefore the DPR = 53.7% which is excellent.
Rogers Sugar, a higher yield stock, is 0.34 / 0.63 = 53.9%. This is also an excellent DPR ratio.
On the other hand Yellow Media (YLO) is 0.65 / 0.54 = 120.3%. This is not a good Dividend Payout Ratio, since Yellow Media must leverage an extra .20 cents for every 1.00 in dividends they distribute.
The Financial Blogger provides monthly updated Dividend Yield and Dividend Payout Ratios for the TSX 60 companies, including the Top 10,Top 20 and Top 50. A good resource, with DPR already calculated!
Companies with low DPR and High Yield
Here is a list of my Top 10 Canadian high income and low DPR stocks. My criteria was based on two fundamentals (1) find dividend stocks with a dividend yield over 4%, and (2) a Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) below 75:
Company | Symbol | Price | Dividend Yield | Payout Ratio (DPR) |
Coast Wholesale Applicance | CWA | 4.73 | 8.9 | 68.8 |
Alaris Royalty | AD | 12.99 | 7.8 | 68.9 |
Le Chateau | CTU.A | 11.00 | 6.4 | 57.9 |
Rogers Sugar | RSI | 5.39 | 6.3 | 53.9 |
BCE Inc. | BCE | 35.33 | 5.6 | 72.1 |
Sun Life Financial Inc. | SLF | 31.09 | 4.6 | 51.6 |
Bank of Montreal | BMO | 62.42 | 4.5 | 58.7 |
Telus Corp. | T | 47.35 | 4.4 | 69.5 |
Rogers Communications | RCI.B | 34.06 | 4.2 | 53.8 |
For the record, I am long on Rogers Communications (RCI.B)

We asked some of our newly professed men and women religious to tell us something about themselves that others might find surprising. Their answers below provide some insight to how each discovered their vocational call. Congratulations to the Profession Class of 2013!
"People might be surprised to know that I loved beautiful clothes, playing sports, and could always be found with a baby in my arms at family gatherings - so it came as quite a surprise to my family and friends when I announced that I would be entering a religious community! I initially entered religious life hoping to give something to God in return for the many gifts He had given to me. I now realize that my vocation is His greatest gift, and I am more in His debt than ever!" — Sister Mary Regina Whitney, OPDominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist
"People might be surprised to know that I am blessed that one of my brothers is a priest. I have taken courses in seven foreign languages and enjoy playing tennis and volleyball and watching football. I was a software developer/systems analyst before entering religious life and I am so happy that I have answered God's call." — Sister Barbara O'Kane, Religious Teachers Filippini, St. Lucy Province
"People might be surprised to know that I instinctively knew I was called to belong totally to God at a young age, before I had ever heard of such a thing as religious life, and despite the fact that I had never known any Sisters. I never went to Catholic school, never saw religious, and there was no youth group at my church, so my calling was almost all an internal journey without personal experience. This calling was confirmed and strengthened by a parish priest when I was in high school, who encouraged me to go to daily Mass, adoration, and to develop a life of intimate prayer with our Lord, and who introduced me to my current community." — Sister Amata Christi Lippert, O.P.Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia
"People might be surprised to know that I love to hike (especially to the top of mountains) and I used to backpack in the Sierras before I entered. I experience the profound love of God who knows the intimate corners of my heart each time I contemplate His invitation calling me to Carmel, to MOUNT Carmel...to the ascent to union with Him. He uses EVERYTHING to draw us to Himself!" — Sister Marie-Aimee, OCD, Martorana Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles
"People might be surprised to know that I was a member of the Ladies of St. Peter Claver for three years while attending Our Lady and St. Rose Parish. I also had the privilege to visit Cartagena, Colombia where St. Peter Claver ministered to the slaves on the slave ships as they arrived from Africa." — Sister Rejane M. Cytacki, Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth
"People might be surprised to know that I am a mother and a grandmother." — Sister Senaida Rivera,Sisters of St. Dominic, Congregation of St. Thomas Aquinas

Previous Section | Back to Table of Contents | Lords Hansard Home Page |
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, I can add little to what I have already said. The noble Lord will know from the Statement that my right honourable friends the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Home Secretary will be looking very closely at these issues. When those two look closely, one can anticipate that the issue of resources will be close to their hearts and their deliberations.
The partnership working between the new agency and the local police forces will be critical because local intelligence and international intelligence merge when we are considering issues of serious crime. Organised crime is just that, because the organisers have to be both international and local. So I can certainly reassure the noble Lord that it is not being contemplated that the new agency will simply parachute in without fully engaging local forces. It just would not work in that way. Partnership is going to be key to ensuring that this new agency takes off.
Your Lordships will know that the agency will include staff from Customs, NCIS and NCSapproaching, I think, about 5,000 members of staff. The agencies planning to move to the new agency currently have a budget of about Ł375 million. New legislation will set out the constitutional and governance arrangements of the new agency; provide it and its staff with necessary powers; ensure that it
remains accountable to Ministers, Parliament and the public; and make provision for a range of legacy issues. All those issues will have to be resolved before the agency is finally up and running and comes into being. I hope that that is of some help to my noble friend.
Lord Renton: My Lords, I, too, welcome the Statement made by the noble Baroness. Will she bear in mind that in the past 40 years organised crime has varied from time to time in different parts of the United Kingdom? Can she assure us that the proposals that the Government have in mind will enable greater concentration on prevention and dealing with crime in places where it appears to be worst?
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, I reassure the noble Lord, Lord Renton, that this service is being created to give us a more comprehensive understanding of organised crime across the country and to collate intelligence across the board. It is not just about drugs; it feeds into people trafficking, money laundering and all the other aspects of the most serious end of crime. We will have to use much more creatively and in a much more targeted way the intelligence about what is happening on the ground. We are by no means saying that what we do now is not of excellent quality. However, if we can organise that in a more structured way, we will get even greater benefits from the reorganisation.
Lord Marlesford: My Lords, the Statement points out that,
Secondly, do the Government recognise that an essential prerequisite for achieving the objectives in the Statement is to have a central record of individuals, with biometric means of linking those individuals to their activities? Finally, on Al Capone: I know it was probably intended as a joke, but it refers to something 60 years ago that represented a major failure of the American justice system, which is why Al Capone was the only person convicted of tax evasion who ended up in Alcatraz.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, we want a number of his kind to go in the same direction and we hope that our British agency will be more effective than any others. I know that the House will be confident about that.
I cannot give any indication as to whether the name SOCA will change. I should share with noble Lords that many people of Afro-Caribbean extraction might like the name SOCA because it describes rhythmic and successful Caribbean dancing, so it may have a nice connotation for some. But I am sure that these are issues which we will look at in due course.
Lord Marlesford: My Lords, biometrics?
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, as regards biometrics, I cannot tell your Lordships exactly what the central records will contain. Your Lordships will know that biometric data are the most useful data for us to have in relation to tracking; the intelligence services have been able tobut I should not say that, should I? I shall simply say that biometric data are an issue that has certainly excited a lot of proper attention in the detection of crime.
The Earl of Mar and Kellie: My Lords, could the noble Baroness clear up whether what she described extends over the United Kingdom or is merely a plan for England and Wales? I ask that because I live in Scotland.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, the agency will cover England and Wales. I will write to noble Lords about how the agency may co-operate with agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Lord Hylton: My Lords, the Statement did not say a word either about the trafficking of arms or about those people who hold illegal weapons in this country. Can the noble Baroness throw light on that subject, which is pretty urgent?
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, did I understand the noble Lord to talk about arms in terms of guns and how that would be dealt with? Any form of trafficking will be covered by the new agency. However, I should address and correct what I just said when answering the noble Earl in relation to UK-wide. The new agency will have a UK-wide remit. However, in Scotland and Northern Ireland the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency and the Police Service of Northern Ireland will continue to exercise those functions they currently undertake in partnership with the existing UK agencies. I was wrong to say that it would not be UK-wide; it is UK-wide, but it preserves two different distinctions and that is what confused me.
I believe that arms are covered. I will write to noble Lords. It depends whether arms fall into the organised crime bracket.
Further consideration of amendments on Report resumed.
Clause 107 [Use of green certificates issued in Northern Ireland]:
Lord Whitty moved Amendments Nos. 191A to 191C:
On Question, amendments agreed to.
Clause 108 [Distributions to Northern Ireland suppliers]:
Lord Whitty moved Amendment No. 191D:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Lord Triesman moved Amendment No. 191E:
The noble Lord said: My Lords, Amendments Nos. 191E, 191F, 191G and 191H make further provisions relating to the issue of ROCs with respect to Northern Ireland. First, Amendment No. 191E makes a number of supplemental changes relating to the issue of Great Britain ROCs for renewable electricity supplied in Northern Ireland. To avoid overlap between GEMA's role and that of the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation in respect of such electricity, the Northern Ireland Authority will issue NIROCs for generating stations located in Northern Ireland, including its inland waters but not UK territorial waters adjacent to Northern Ireland, and GEMA will issue ROCs for all other generators. GEMA may not, however, issue a ROC in respect of
Turning to the other amendments in this group. Amendment No. 191F also provides for the sale of NIROCs that relate to Northern Ireland NFFOpronounced "noffo"output, separately from the renewables electricity to which the NIROCs relate. Without this provision, Great Britain suppliers are unlikely to participate in auctions of NIROCs with the underlying electricity since they would have no use for the electricity which cannot be exported from Northern Ireland to Great Britain because of the interconnector limitations.
Finally, the Government are taking powers in Amendment No. 191F to allow a proportion of the funds arising from the auctioning of Northern Ireland NFFO ROCs to be paid to DETI. The DETI's existing obligation to pay moneys received into the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland will apply to moneys that DETI receives as a result of exercise of this power. However, DETI intends to request that a budget allocation is made for an amount of money equal to any such payments into the Consolidated Fund to be used for the promotion of the use of renewable energy sources in Northern Ireland. This provision is similar to the provision already available in England and Wales and which is being sought by Scotland within this Bill. On the basis of the ROC prices reached in recent equivalent Scottish auctions of ROCs, the total proceeds of the Northern Ireland NFFO auction are expect to amount to between Ł4 million and Ł5 million per annum during the early years and declining thereafter until the contracts expire in 2010.
Amendment No. 191G makes clear that both GEMA and the Northern Ireland Authority are entitled to enter into arrangements for GEMA to carry out Northern Ireland renewables obligation functions of the Northern Ireland Authority. Clause 109 currently refers only to GEMA as being entitled to enter into these arrangements.
Amendment No. 191H replaces a reference to Ofreg with a reference to the "Northern Ireland Authority" and is a minor drafting change. I beg to move.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
"(4) In Article 56(1) of the Energy (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/419 (N.I. 6)) (power to amend Part 7 of that Order to take account of amendments of corresponding Great Britain provisions), the reference to amendments made to sections 32 to 32C of the 1989 Act includes a reference to subsection (1) of this section.
(5) Subsection (4) extends to Northern Ireland only."
Page 89, line 29, leave out from "are" to end of line 31 and insert "Northern Ireland suppliers.""
After Clause 108, insert the following new clause
(1) In subsection (3) of section 32 of the 1989 Act (definition of renewables obligation), for "and 32C" substitute "to 32C".
(2) In subsection (7) of that section, for paragraph (d) substitute
"(d) such generators of electricity from renewable sources as he considers appropriate; and".
(3) After subsection (8) of that section insert
"(8A) In this section and in sections 32A to 32C
'generated' means generated at any place whether situated in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and cognate expressions shall be construed accordingly;
'Northern Ireland authority' means the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation;
'Northern Ireland supplier' means an electricity supplier within the meaning of Part 7 of the Energy (Northern Ireland) Order 2003."
(4) In section 32A of that Act (supplementary provision relating to orders under section 32), in subsection (3) for the words from "the differences" onwards substitute "no supplier would by virtue of the differences be unduly disadvantaged in competing with other suppliers".
(5) After that subsection insert
"(3A) In subsection (3) 'supplier' means an electricity supplier or a Northern Ireland supplier."
(6) In subsection (7) of that section, for "obligation imposed" substitute "matters dealt with".
(7) The requirements of section 32(7) of that Act (consultation before making an order) may be satisfied in the case of an order containing provision made by virtue of this section by consultation that took place wholly or partly before the commencement of this section."

Craig Plans for a 5-acre solar garden in Craig probably won't see the light of day anytime soon, if ever.
Now, Craig's loss could be Routt County's gain.
"There were basically mineral reservation issues that did not allow us to proceed," said Jonathan Moore, land manager for Clean Energy Collective, the company that would have constructed the solar panel garden in Craig city limits.
The city of Craig agreed to lease a plot of land to Clean Energy Collective in July, in exchange for a 5 kW solar panel that would produce about $800 of energy each year for the city. The solar garden would have been built off Moffat County Road 177 — close to the wastewater treatment plant — and could have powered 200 homes. Any Yampa Valley Electric Association customer could have used electricity from the array at about $850 per panel. It also would have helped YVEA comply with the Colorado law that requires electric utility companies to get 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2020.
While its decision isn't final, the company is not optimistic about building an array in Craig or even in Moffat County.
Even though Craig owns the ground it was planning to lease to Clean Energy Collective, it doesn't own the minerals. Trapper Mine does. Because the ownership is mixed, Clean Energy Collective hasn't been able to get the go-ahead from its insurers.
"Our title insurance company would not be able to give us title insurance on" the project, said Richard Miller, land manager for Clean Energy Collective. "Potentially, (Trapper Mine) could come in and get those mineral rights."
Moore said it was a complicated problem.
"We could not get the confidence that the sub-surface estate would not jeopardize our interest," Moore said.
Now the company is looking at properties in Routt County to build the array. Since it hasn't finalized anything, the company isn't disclosing details, Moore said.
Mayor Terry Carwile said the company's decision to look outside Moffat County was a disappointment.
It would have brought construction jobs to Craig, a desperate need since 2013 saw only $2.17 million in construction projects. The array construction would have been more than $1 million.
Moore seconded Carwile's disappointment.
"We were saddened and frustrated. Our understanding was it was a great site," Moore said. "It's been a disappointment for us and everyone involved, including Craig."
Clean Energy Collective won't announce its decision until it's finalized.

Together with Dr. Thomas Bond, he obtained a charter for a hospital to serve the poor, sick, and insane in Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Hospital opened on this date in 1752, in a converted house. The hospital later developed at a location where a modern medical complex still serves the city. During its long history, the hospital's doctors have made advances in many fields, becoming known as "the father" of both American psychiatry and also of surgery. Today, there are more than 6,500 hospitals in the U.S., employing over 5.5 million people. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

It would be easier than freezing outside every time you need wood... Still, think of all the little bugs and critters hiding in that wood. They would love nothing more than to run around on that beautiful "carrelage"and to visit the rest of your welcoming house ;-) Veronique (French GIrl in Seattle)
