Valley Outdoor Power Equipment
Eric Cantin
16:30 18 Jan 18
I don't generally feel the need to post reviews but I feel my experiences with Valley Outdoor Power Equipment warrant the few minutes it takes to spread the good word. Finding good mechanics and good service seems to be something of a lost art these days, but so far I've been extremely impressed with what these guy's (and girls) have been able to produce for me. I had basically given up on one of my outboard boat motors as it's given me fits for years. I decided to follow through on a suggestion from a friend to bring this to Travis and his team and they pulled off the impossible in no time at all. I was able to run my boat with confidence all summer and just can't believe I almost tossed a perfectly good motor that needed the right hands on it to make it run like new. Having confidence in these guy's, I looked around at some other equipment in my garage that was on the edge of disposal and figured I'd see what they can do. My generator that had sat idle for years now runs amazingly well and the new chainsaw I purchased is the envy of my neighbors on the lake where I live. Always ready to answer my ridiculous questions and reassuring me that I can now trust my equipment after all these years of problems, I just can't say enough about the team they have and the quality work they do. You can tell when people genuinely care about delivering a positive experience and that's what will keep me going back to Valley Outdoor Power Equipment. I hope this review can help someone who is on the fence like I was and give these guy's a proper chance to leave the same positive impression I now have. Cheers! Eric Cantin

The team at Valley outdoor power handles all our compressor repairs without issues. Not sure who does the repairs but whoever they are, they certainly know what their doing. Office staff has been accommodating to my needs. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend anyone needing service, or outdoor power equipment to drop in and see Travis or Cody. I have brought in my gas ice auger for a tune up, had parts ordered for my snowblower all reasonably priced and in a timely manner!

Went to Valley Outdoor Power yesterday shopping for a String Trimmer. The Customer Service experience provided by Cody was exceptional. He wasn't interested in just making a sale he was completely focused on what his customer needed. I was quite impressed and will be back.

Fall Maintenance for Purple Martin Houses
When the Martins have left for the year, it is important to lower the housing, thoroughly clean it out and plug it up for the winter. Not only will cleaning remove any parasites and bacteria, but plugging the holes will prevent unwanted guests like Sparrows and Starlings from taking up residence. Continue reading

Hello everyone,
I'm so sorry it took me two years (has it really been that long? XD) to get round to posting this. I thought I'd already done it.
The Breakwater comic is on indefinite hiatus (just in case you couldn't already tell :P). It just wasn't working out. I fully intend to complete the novel, but for now I have turned my attentions to the other story I've been working on.
Wired is my other project, a sci-fi/cyberpunk story. The novel has been accepted by a publisher and will be available to buy on Amazon in the near future, and I'm also releasing a comic adaptation. You can find it here: http://wired.smackjeeves.com.
To repeat: Breakwater will NOT be updated any time soon. I'm merely leaving it here because it may be returned to in the future. My current project is Wired and is the only one I am currently working on.
Apologies to anyone who was enjoying Breakwater. I hope you enjoy Wired just as much :)

Cults' Madeline Follin and Guards' Richie James Follin Started a New Band Together
The brother-sister duo is just called Follin
Madeline Follin and her brother Richie James Follin are both in bands — Cults and Guards, respectively — but now the siblings have joined forces in a new, familial band. Appropriately called Follin, the group have shared their first single, "Roxy," which is below. The song turns a synth line straight out of an '80s horror movie into cooly upbeat, moody pop jam. Follin's self-titled two-track debut is coming soon via Father/Daughter.

Answer: 100 percent clean and sustainable energy.
As the mining of cryptocurrencies rises, so too do concerns about the practice's environmental impacts. Mining cryptocurrencies requires computing power, which uses electricity and causes CO2 emissions. At the end of 2017, it was estimated that mining one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, was consuming as much energy as the entire country of Serbia. And that energy consumption is expected to grow.
Enter the MoonLite Project, an organization aiming to become one of the world's largest for mining cryptocurrencies. In April of this year, in Iceland, MoonLite will commence construction on a very large cryptocurrency mining data center that will be powered entirely by low-cost, environmentally friendly and sustainable energy.
"Our data center, and future data centers, will always make use of 100 percent clean and renewable energy sources, such as energy being generated from hydro, wind and geothermal sources," MoonLite Project founder and CEO Eric Krige told Digital Trends. According to Krige, the Iceland center will operate at a 15-megawatt capacity and be able to mine about $8 million worth of cryptocurrency per month.

Organizing and decorating can be challenging. We've found that it's easy to feel weighed down and stuck in the "stuff" that hinders us from loving our dwelling places. Think about the pile of mail on the kitchen counter, the clothes stacked on a chair in your bedroom, the crafts spread on your kids floor, and the mixed up files in drawers of your office... you might already be ready to give up after just thinking about it!
A fresh approach might be the change you need in perspective to conquer your challenging space. Thanks to Instagram and Pinterest, we've lost a lot of our ability to envision things on our own. We pin the image of an immaculate office and elegant bedroom that are way outside of our budget, and when we shut our computer we settle back into the reality of our lackluster spaces.
enjoy these creations as you start to imagine your spaces with new eyes.
Ashley Dawn Addair is the creative behind the visual beauty below.
Close out of Pinterest, shut the computer, and open your creative mind. Here are some questions to think about as you re-think areas of your home.
- Who will use this space most?
- What key furniture does this space need?
- What colors create the mood you want to inspire?
- What textures deliver comfort, function and coziness?
- How can you create natural/warm light in this space?
- What memories do you want to make in this space?
- How do you hope your guests feel in this space?
- What current items in this space are you ready to purge/donate?
- Do you prefer exposed or hidden organization of the stuff essential to this space?
Each space and home and it's people are unique. Don't limit your space by the images you see online, dream up your ideal space and incorporate the specific items you already love and possess.
Happy envisioning friends! If you'd like some help and direction in your space, we'd love to work with you.
*bonus- we stumbled upon this beautiful blog this week and had to share... Simple as That. Here's a link to a post with a free printable calendar "Collect Moments-Not Things"!

UKIP has a track record of saying the unsayable and promoting inconvenient truth against the mainstream consensus. Brexit, control of immigration and opposition to gay marriage are just three issues where the party has, famously, refused to kowtow to the liberal establishment.
There is another issue too: the public role of the UK's traditional religion.
Until recently Tory MP Andrea Leadsom had been a less than high-profile politician. But she'd frequently gone public about her Christianity and her religious reservations about – but personal support for – same-sex marriage.
These, together with some naïve comments about motherhood, brought a storm around her head from party colleagues and media alike during her brief bid for the Conservative Party leadership earlier this month.
ConservativeHome editor Paul Goodman described the ferocious attacks on her as 'prejudice', 'feral' and 'bullying', while commentator Iain Dale called the media assaults 'astonishing'.
Faced with this onslaught the MP withdrew from the contest. Journalist Allison Pearson interviewed her afterwards and concluded that "Leadsom was genuinely shocked by the poisonous attacks from within her own party. She said it was highly unlikely that the daily stories saying how useless/dishonest/Christian she was 'are coincidental'."
Anti-religious prejudice in the UK is reserved only for traditionalist Christians like Leadsom it seems. In her article Pearson drew attention to the fact that no-one calls London's Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan a 'religious nutter'.
And when celebrity atheist Richard Dawkins claimed that then New Statesman editor Mehdi Hasan was disqualified for the job because of his Islamic beliefs, the media leapt en masse to the Muslim's defence and it was Dawkins who came under sustained media fire.
By the end of the 19th century, laws requiring holders of public office to assent to particular religious beliefs had been repealed. Jews, Catholics, Puritans, Atheists – they were all free to participate in public life. It was a long time coming, but freedom of religion had come of age.
But step-by-step today's secular Britain is turning back to public prejudice. As Andrea Leadsom found out, there is a new intolerance in the air.
Hotel owners, registrars, magistrates, doctors and counsellors have lost their livelihoods because of their Christian beliefs.
And a wider targetted hostility can be observed, for instance, via the stand-up comedians in the popular TV series Live at the Apollo. Mock Christians or Christianity and the audience falls about laughing. This is no problem in a society that values satire and freedom of speech of course. Except that it does not, it seems, translate across onto Islam or atheism.
So who will step into the breach and stand against this rising tide of prejudice against the nation's traditional religion?
Yup, once again: only UKIP.
In last year's general election, ours was the sole party to publish a manifesto specifically for the faithful. In the document Policies for Christians, Nigel Farage wrote "UKIP is the only major political party left in Britain that still cherishes our Judeo-Christian heritage" and "we need a much more muscular defence of our Christian heritage and our Christian constitution".
He had made similar comments previously to Fox News in New York and at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
UKIP's deputy leader Paul Nuttall was reported as saying too that "UKIP is the only party that will confidently protect the rights of Christians in the UK and speak out against the attack on our Christian heritage."
The party was as good as its word. In the 2015 manifesto UKIP promised to "extend the legal concept of 'reasonable accommodation' to give protection in law to those expressing a religious conscience in the workplace"- in this case over same-sex marriage.
Since 1757 our society has been broad-minded enough to allow Quakers and other pacifists to refuse military service even in times of national peril, and freedom of conscience has developed into a fundamental feature of western democracy.
Yet the establishment's growing liberal authoritarianism has meant that UKIP's pledge on this issue is unique amongst the main political parties.
UKIP also has been the only party to speak up for Christian refugees from the Islamic Middle East and North Africa.
In Syria Christians are a vulnerable minority who frequently suffer the double whammy of having to flee first from Islamist violence in their home towns and villages, and subsequently from the hostility of militant Muslim migrants inside the refugee camps. In 2013 Nigel Farage faced down a storm of politically-correct censure when he called for the UK government to take in only Christian Syrian refugees.
Eighteen months later, after African Muslims threw Christian fellow migrants out of the boat while crossing the Mediterranean, the UKIP leader repeated his call for Christians only, this time from north Africa, to be offered refuge in Europe.
Farage and Nuttall have both resigned from party leadership and currently UKIP is looking for a new leader. Nominations close today, and hustings and voting will take place during August. The successful candidate will be announced at the party conference on 16th September.
Will he or she be sympathetic towards Christian values and defend the nation's traditional religion? To find out, some CAUKIP (Christian Action in UKIP) colleagues and I have formulated an online questionnaire which we will be submitting to each declared candidate.
You can view it here.
We plan to publish the responses of the candidates on the CAUKIP website. If you're interested, watch this space too.

Not everyone is social in the offline world and I meet so many people who are afraid to be social in the online world. If I can't find something to say in person, what do I say online?
That's an excellent point and troublesome now that social is how we reach an audience for our business. But while being social is powerful and builds the connective tissue that results in loyalty and reach for a social business, conversation isn't the only side of it.
Sharing is Social
Sharing great content is social. That might seem obvious but by segmenting out the acts of sharing content from engaging in conversation, those who don't like to converse so much can find a place in this space.
Most of us live a portion of our lives online and we all find great content every day that is relevant to our business and what we do. Share it! Your target audience wants to see what engages you and it will help to shape your brand. Articles, resources, instructional videos, infographics, photos - anything that can be helpful to your clients and imply what is important to you in what you do.
So there is a place for the quieter people amoung us. If you can't speak, just share.
Who do you know that has a lot to share but is reluctant to? How might you encourage them?

The wisdom and biblical teachings of the early Lutheran Church have been locked away in German and Latin for centuries. But coming soon from Concordia Publishing House, Lives and Writings of the Great Fathers of the Lutheran Church provides a key to this treasure chest by introducing the chief confessional Lutheran theologians from the era of Lutheran Orthodoxy (1580–1700).
Short biographical sketches reveal the little-known life stories of these pastors and theologians, while selections of their best writings are presented in first-time English translations. Each chapter also lists all English translations of their work, along with their greatest writings in the original languages.
To find out more about this volume, we interviewed the editor, Rev. Dr. Timothy Schmeling. Read our Q&A with him below. [Read more…] about Q&A with Timothy Schmeling, editor of Lives and Writings of the Great Fathers of the Lutheran Church


text: Seriously! It flipp'in DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER for me than an awesome senior photo shoot complete with a gorgeous model in Eastlake Sammamish Class of 2012 Srisa and the most random prop of all time -- yep, a Great Dane.  With the senior picture shots that I'm showing you, it's unfortunate that you cannot really take in just how huge this "puppy" is in real life. The best indication is that he is most literally dragging Srisa through this meadow. Ready for random notion #2? It's not even her dog...or mine for that matter. Here we were shooting in the meadow when we see the owner walking this oh-so-good-natured dog. I knew I had to act fast...so I went for it "Um, can we photograph your dog :-) " The owner was so gracious and awesome to let us get these shots -- they remind me of something we'd see in Vanity Fair or Vogue featuring Hollywood's hottest starlet! Too Fun! I have to give big kudos to Srisa for making all of this look so crazy photogenic...the umbrella, the dress, the heels and 175 pounds of dog are quite the handful. Thanks to Sorella again for the gorgeous hair styling! We added one more shot on Facebook too

Dr. Coleman spoke to a packed audience at the Virginia Coalition of Nurse Practitioners in Reston, Virginia a few weeks ago. His topic was Addiction and Substance Abuse in Primary Care. He highlighted recognition of the disease using available screening tools, making a diagnosis, then followed with an overview of treatment options.
I was struck by a couple things.
First of all, I was impressed at the numbers present. Substance abuse is a ubiquitous condition. Clearly these practitioners are seeing the problem frequently in their various practice settings.
A major point that Dr. Coleman made was that addiction is a Primary disease; in other words, depression and anxiety are not the cause of substance abuse. Drug and alcohol abuse stands alone as a diagnosis. That being said, it can certainly exacerbate many other mental and physical conditions. (Check the archives to see his newsletter article on this very topic.)
Another interesting thing I noticed is that virtually no one knows about naltrexone therapy. This generated many questions from the audience, since most people are only familiar with using long term opiates such as methadone and suboxone as treatment. Few people are aware of the problem many people have when they attempt to stop these treatments.
A final thought: it is most helpful to a patient to give him a firm diagnosis about a drinking or drug problem. Until the problem is identified, healing cannot begin.
If you or a loved one is concerned about substance abuse, please inquire at The Coleman Institute. We have Accelerated Opiate, Alcohol and Benzodiazepene treatments, all done in the out-patient setting.
Also, it turns out Dr. Coleman is a great speaker. If you'd like him to present a lecture to your group, give me a call. When the session ended he was encircled by Nurse Practitioners. I assume they were questioning him on aspects of his speech, although I think couple may have been after his phone number.

We all know that she has been a contestant in the second season of the above Endemol produced celebrity reality show.
So let's talk to her to find out what she thinks about the current contestants and who according to her would win this season?
She shares, "I love watching Bigg Boss and very well know the games and the tactics of it. This season I find that the contestants are very interesting and now that the show has reached its finale stage, it has become all the more gripping. Amongst all the contestants I find Sangram to be very honest. In real life also he is the same kind of person and likes to help people. As a matter of fact I am friends with Payal (Rohatgi) because of him."
"Everybody has partners inside the house but Sangram is the only guy who has reached here without anybody's support. So without any doubt I want Sangram to win this season and he truly deserves it," she adds.
So what's next for this bold actress? "Well, I want to participate in next year's Nach Baliye with my boyfriend Avinash Dwivedi as we are both good dancers," she quips.
Well, we hope that channel is reading this and wish to see you dancing with your baliye in the next season of Nach...

Between the mouth-breathing and the consistent tumble rolls, your pint-sized ripper needs something that will not only endure the abuse of childhood, but provide just-enough protection without being overly technical. Queue up the Spy Kids' Cadet Goggle and send your rabble-rouser on their merry way up and over green circles and blue squares alike.
More specifically, the Cadet touts a large, cylindrical lens and 100% UV protection, so junior stays protected from the sun's harmful rays. The Scoop Venting paired alongside the Anti-Fog treatment prevents their persistent mouth-breathing from getting the best of their optical point of view, while the Flex Frame provides a pressure-free fit, not to mention a flexible one at that. And of course, last but not least, the Cadet is helmet-compatible (though, kids have a propensity for looking really adorable with a gaper crevasse), and the strap is siliconized for a sticky grip on their helmet.
Proposition 65 Warning for California Consumers: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
- A kid-specific goggle for snowboarding or skiing
- Cylindrical lens features 100% UV protection

Your Source for Education Design and Planning
DES Architects + Engineers
Sequoia Union High School District
17,000 sq.ft.
The education program requirements for Carlmont High School in Belmont, Calif., included two new two-story classroom buildings—one 7,500-square-foot building and one 9,500-square-foot science building—housing eight additional classrooms, three science classrooms, laboratories with prep rooms, teachers' office, lounge, career center and copy center. An elevator tower and ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFEATURED IN2000 Architectural Portfolio amphitheater with upper and lower plazas join the two buildings.
To fully comprehend the project's human requirements, the architect conducted a survey of students and teachers. The response revealed not only a need for additional facilities, but also a belief that the existing campus lacked a physical and social heart. Students felt that the old buildings were institutional-looking and unattractive.
The response was to install an upper and lower plaza to create an expansive central gathering area. The staff lounge, student offices and activity rooms are adjacent to the plaza to draw students, teachers and the public together. Design details, such as curved canopies and decorative metal awnings, greatly enhance the new architecture of the campus and provide a more contemporary feel. The elevator tower provides a visual focal point.

he scene goes something like this:
You decide you're ready to lose some weight. You do a little research and pick a popular diet. Maybe it's calorie counting. Maybe it's The Paleo Diet. Maybe it's some kind of juicing. Whatever it is, based on your brief research, it seems to be working for other people. So you give it a try. Two days in, you're over it. Or maybe it takes you three weeks. Either way, you throw in the towel and binge on bagels and French fries and whatever else it is you're starved for. The end.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. One study found that by the age of 45, the average woman has already tried 61 diets in her effort to stay slim. Another survey found that of those who diet regularly, 2 out of 7 quit within the first five days, 1 out of 5 quit within the first month, and only 1 out of 5 make it to the three-month mark.
Want to guess one of the main reasons most people give up on their diets? Hunger.
Makes sense, right? The answer is so obvious it's almost laughable. But when you're trying to lose weight, that hunger is more frustrating than amusing, namely because it's so darn difficult to ignore – even if you do hang pictures of yourself at your ideal weight on the refrigerator.
How appetite suppressants can help.
At Viva Wellness in San Diego, we've helped many people meet and sustain their weight loss goals through our Medical Weight Loss Therapy program. With the use of appetite suppressants and a healthy high-fiber, moderate-fat diet, our patients lose weight, and keep it off. Need a little more convincing on the benefits of appetite suppressants? Here are five:
- Weight loss is the result of taking in fewer calories than you use. No matter what diet you try, this will be true. So it makes sense that, if your body is accustomed to a high level of food intake and you suddenly decrease it, you'll feel hungry. Long-term weight loss means changing your eating habits. Appetite suppressants can help bridge that hunger gap while your body acclimates to the lifestyle changes required to lose weight and keep it off long-term.
- Results beget results. The use of appetite suppressants can yield quick results, and those results make for great motivation. When you see the changes in the way your favorite jeans fit as you eat less, you'll be more inspired to make the healthy decisions that help you lose more weight.
- Appetite suppressants can help you get healthier. Research shows that people using appetite suppressants lose as much as 5 to 10 percent of their body weight, which can reduce the risk for heart attack, stroke, and cancer. That sounds pretty darn good to us.
- When you control hunger with the use of appetite suppressants, it can help reveal the other ways in which you have used food to address boredom, stress, and emotional issues. Once you understand the triggers that cause you to binge or eat mindlessly, it's easier to direct yourself toward healthier habits.
- When you use prescription appetite suppressants, such as those you'll receive at Viva Wellness, they come with the experience and knowledge of a professional doctor who can make nutrition and exercise recommendations that fit your needs, your lifestyle, and your specific weight loss goals. The more support you have, the more likely you will succeed.
At Viva Wellness, we hear from patients nearly every day who thank us for helping them get out of the cycle of serial dieting. Many of them have been able to return to their ideal weight, and they've regained the confidence they'd lost after so many years of diet failure. And do you know what we tell them when they thank us?
It's our pleasure. We're happy to help.
For more specific information on the medications we prescribe, or any other questions regarding our Medical Weight Loss Therapy program, visit our San Diego location. Or drop us a line for a free consultation. Dr. Tachuk and the rest of us at Viva Wellness look forward to hearing from you.

Healey Barn is the beautiful new wedding venue in Northumberland, located close to Riding Mill and Corbridge, accessible yet still rural. It's rolling landscapes, surrounding woodlands, and countryside lanes sit it in one of the most beautiful area's of northumberland and the traditional barn buildings offer a cosy candlelit interior, dark beams and wonderful views of the surrounding area. Sheltered by the farm buildings themselves is a charming courtyard perfect for relaxing with friends and enjoying the fire pits in the evening.
As you can most likely tell, I completely love this venue, it seems to have everything you could possibly want from a venue for a relaxed wedding, and for those like us who have a love of the outdoors it's a no brainer really!
We first heard about Healey Barn back in September 2014 while it was still in it's planning stages. Our bride an groom Kirsty and Adam getting married at Healey Barn got in touch and told us all about the exciting new venue, showed us the plans and booked us for their wedding this coming June. I could hardly wait to work there for the first time and so I was delighted when only 12 weeks before their wedding last summer, Helen and David got in touch to book us for their Healey Barn wedding. We first met Helen and David at Helen's sister Laura's wedding at Doxford Hall in the summer of 2014. We all hit if off so well at Laura's wedding so to return to photograph for the family was an honour and a delight.
Helen and David's amazing wedding day was to be the 9th wedding after Healey Barn's opening, and the first Military wedding at the venue. It was one of the prettiest weddings I have ever attended, filled with soft pastel shades, delicate florals and details inspired by nature. The couple themselves, warm hearted, fun and completely besotted with one another surrounded by some pretty amazing people to help celebrate the day with.
I got in touch with Helen and David who are now living in America to fill me in a little on a few more details of the day. Helen says:
"I knew exactly what I wanted for the table arrangements and exactly where to get the flowers from, so I decided to do all of the table arrangements myself! Courtesy of my parents and grandparents gardens, that's here I found the beautiful flowers!! So the day before the wedding off I went with my garden shears.
We planned the whole wedding within just 12 weeks (due to David's RAF posting to the US), with so many ideas floating around this seemed the perfect option and gave chance to add some of our own creativity. We managed to pull off exactly what we wanted with this personal touch which I am very proud of! I wouldn't ave done it any other way and without the help of family and friends, who I'd say were our room stylists (they followed orders perfectly)."
After their wedding, we got in touch with Letty and Leanne from Healey Barn to thank them for the wonderful day and to show them a few pictures from the day. We were simply overjoyed when they asked us to join forces with them and become a recommended supplier for the venue. We were incredibly proud and honoured to accept their invitation.
A talented team came together to help make Helen and David' day perfect. The bride sourced her stunning dress from the Wedding dress company in Corbridge, Lisa Cameron styled the bride and bridesmaid's hair working alongside Kristina from KF makeup. The lads who wore suits from Burtons - except the groom who for part of the day wore his RAF military No. 1's got ready for the day at the Lord Crewe Arms. The bridesmaids dresses were sourced from the high street and became a good find from Miss Selfridges. The beautiful wedding bouquets were from Jackie Fox in Gosforth with the fireplace garland by Flowers unlimited. The table runners and table setting stand were by the finishing touch company, the cake was made by Zoe's cakes in West Moor and the the Ice Cream van was hired from the Parlour at Blagdon. Coco Luminnaire and AMDJ were hired for the evening. It just goes to show, that with a little careful planning creativity what you can achieve in just 12 weeks!
Helen and David, it was amazing to work with you both, your sense of fun, creativity and love for one another is inspiring. We both wish you the very best for your new lives together in America and look forward to seeing you at your cousin's wedding at the end of May! x

Attendees seemed to provide the redesign a warm reception, applauding at the end of the presentation. Whether or not you're a fitness skater, racer or just recreational skating, both K2 and Rollerblade have lots to offer. This history of leisure and recreation goes far again in time, but leisure and recreation really took off when the Industrial Revolution hit Nice Britain within the 1700s. CPRA PDC is Canada's only professional development certification program for recreation and parks practitioners. Since a recreational automobile is not thought-about to be a dwelling for insurance coverage functions, people don't want homeowners or flood insurance. That workforce scores one point for each rock that's closer to the middle than an opponent's rock. A part of the length of time being projected, is as a result of demolition of the present library and recreation center (previously the Wheaton Youth Center), Dise stated.
In the United States, most states have an expert group for continuing schooling and certification in recreation management. There's also an data kiosk with the Flagstaff Conference & Visitors Bureau Winter Recreation Alternatives map, and details about other snow play and winter recreation areas all through the larger Flagstaff space. Additionally, about 80{1365769a0610f3a7ca106301dc7a417a519e99ed1c9531123c7c4507bb1787f8} of OHV recreational alternatives are offered by our partners at the Forest Service and BLM. Not stunning then that xbox360 and ps3 kiosk towers are perfect for use in hospital waiting rooms and other public spaces. It's also possible to study recreation actions obtainable at the Williston Health Heart , Ice Enviornment, in addition to through senior providers and our adult and youth sports activities packages. Sustaining and Recreational Membership charges could also be applied toward the price of the next degree of membership. Broom: Curlers use a broom to brush the ice vigorously in front of the sliding rock.
Telesis' Marilyn Melkonian has pledged to search out financing to renovate the prevailing recreation middle. The U.S. government defines recreational boating as boats which are used on waterways for pleasure and recreation. Mistakes which might be made can have a minimal or drastic effect on a parks and recreation facility, space, and/or complete agency. Gravitational Torque Expertise – Used for velocity skates, GT as it likes to be called displaces strain by the middle of the skate, enhances the middle of graivty and positions the physique for optimum torque. You can even see the link under which shows a U.S. Map listing out all states where this device is legal.
Today, work and leisure are nonetheless strictly separated, but leisure time and recreation are some of the most vital side of recent life, showing how the historical past of leisure and recreation has altered throughout time, and become more and more widespread as folks achieve more freedom from work and toil.
It is important to recognize the assorted social, cultural, and economic advantages that parks and recreation services have within our communities; this offers vital justification for those government funding dollars to continue to address the recreation programming needs of our communities.

First – The Basics
Open a new email message like you're going to send one to anybody. By default, the message is "From" you. The "To:" line is the recipient (you knew this already). The "Cc:" line is short for "Carbon Copy". Any email address you put here will get a copy of the message as well. Good so far? Great!
You may know that on the To: or Cc: line, you can put nearly an unlimited amount of email addresses or contacts to receive your email. Just put a semi-colon (";") between each one.
Next – The Advanced…the "Bcc" line
What you may not see is the "Bcc:" line. This stands for "Blind Carbon Copy" and, like the Cc: line, anyone listed on the Bcc: line will also get a copy of the email!
What's the difference? No one that receives a copy of the message will be able to see who else got the message. This means, no one can steal their email addresses and send them junk email!
Next, Next – Turn on the Bcc Line
Many people don't know about this Bcc option because in Microsoft Outlook, this line (or "field") is hidden be default and you can't see it.
To make it visible, when your creating an email, click Options and then click "Bcc" where "Show Fields" exists (your version of Outlook may be slightly different, but it will be very similar to this). The Bcc: line should now appear in your email window. It will stay there for future emails too!
Here's a quick sample video showing how to do this (about 40 seconds long):
Last – The Wierd Secret Trick
So, the next question is usually, "I tried this but Outlook said I have to have someone on the "To:" line to send it…what do I do?"
Easy answer: Send it to yourself on the "To:" line, like I did in this sample message:
The Why?
As I mentioned in the opening paragraph, disclosing your list of email addresses to everyone in your list is just bad in so many ways! Here's some you may not have thought about:
- It lets everyone you know see everyone else you know.
- It puts in very plain text, a convenient list of email addresses easily "harvested" by spyware and viruses. Believe it or not, the number one way you get spam is by someone getting your email address!
- It may give your list to someone you don't want to have it. A client of mine mentioned that their primary (and unscrupulous) competitor had gotten all of their customer names and started emailing them (the customers) bad-mouthing my customer and stealing them away! They got the list of customers when one customer gave the list to the competing company!
- Anyone that chooses to "Reply to All" will saturate everyone on the To: and CC: lines with yet another reply (my church family innocently does this all the time…everyone hits "Reply to All" and my inbox gets blasted that much more with conversational bits that were not intended for me!)
If you need help with anything here, feel free to email email@example.com or give us a call! Next time someone sends you an email with EVERYONE else's email address showing, feel free to send them a link to this little article!

Think you have the flu? In some places, you can now go directly to the Internet and report your symptoms to officials eager to spot outbreaks.
Say you feel sick, but before you see a doctor you search the Web for information, or blog or Twitter about the flu. Your worries will be detected by companies prowling the Internet for disease trends.
If you actually come down with the flu, and the doctors want to know who you've been in physical contact with, your trusty cellphone could soon tell them.
And someday, scientists hope, this "infodemiology" might help forecast and track a flu epidemic the way experts monitor the weather.
As health officials gear up for the flu season amid the global H1N1 pandemic, technology and new forms of Internet social interaction are transforming how such outbreaks are monitored.
"All these things really change the way that we can manage diseases," said Alessandro Vespignani, professor of informatics at Indiana University. "It's not just . . . a passive approach, where we just wait for the disease and then try to do something."
Currently, most disease tracking is done through doctors reporting cases of illness they have seen. It's a reliable system but often involves a lag time of a week or more in reporting and does not account for people who don't go to the doctor.
Internet surveillance raises questions about privacy and confidentiality. But experts say it has the advantage of speed and can augment the current system by detecting sick people who might not see a doctor.
Google's public Flu Trends system, for example, is designed to pick up early clues by tracking and analyzing Internet searches for flu information. "We keep track of what queries have been asked, and how often," said Roni Zeiger, the Flu Trends product manager. Because people often search for information on the Web before going to a doctor, the system can provide an early warning of trouble, he said.
During the 2007-08 flu season Google used an early version of the system that consistently detected flu rates one to two weeks ahead of official reports, the company said in a paper published in February.
Other companies and programs scan live Web chatter for mentions of, or reports about, the flu.
Boston-based HealthMap's automated system sends out an hourly Web "crawler" that hunts for flu information in seven languages.
Its creators on Tuesday launched a cellphone application called "Outbreaks Near Me" that can alert users to illnesses nearby. "If you move into a zone where there's an outbreak, your phone would actually alert you," said John Brownstein, assistant professor of pediatrics at Children's Hospital in Boston, where HealthMap is based. The application also allows users to send back to HealthMap their own flu alerts.
Locally, Maryland has launched a "flu watcher" program in which volunteers report their health conditions weekly via the Internet. Project officials say the state is the first in the country to have such a system: the Maryland Resident Influenza Tracking Survey.
"We get people to sign up online and give us their e-mail address," said Rene Najera, an epidemiologist with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. "They give us their county of residence, their month and year of birth. We don't get too personal with them. We just want some basic demographics.
"Every week . . . we send them a survey . . . 'Did you have any fever? Did you have any cough? Did you have any sore throat in the week previous?' " he said. If the answer is yes, more detailed questions are asked. So far, 740 people across the state have signed up.
Najera said that on Tuesday Maryland expanded the system to allow participants to report other members of their households as well as themselves.
Several countries have similar projects.
"Every Monday, we get a response back from just over 6,000 people," Craig Dalton, who oversees Australia's Flutracking project, said via e-mail. "About 3,000 responses come in within the first 6 hours,"
There are also programs in Italy, the Netherlands, Britain and other countries, Vespignani said, with tens of thousands of volunteers.
In Singapore, scientists have gone a step further, testing a system called FluLog that could use Bluetooth cellphone technology to locate people who had been in proximity to someone who has become infected.
It's a high-tech version of a process called "contact tracing," said Mehul Motani of the National University of Singapore's Faculty of Engineering. Typically, he said "when you have a suspected case, you interview the suspected case, and you ask them: 'Where have you been? . . . Who have you been in sustained contact with?' " The idea is to locate others who might get sick.
FluLog would augment the process with the Bluetooth identification technology. "If you and I happened to be in a meeting, your cellphone and my cellphone would discover each other, and then this information would be logged, [and] stored in a secure central database," he said. "Then if you or I became a suspected case, we could easily mine this database and figure out who are the potential people who are at risk."
Motani said the system would be voluntary: "You would go to a Web site and register yourself," then be e-mailed if you had been exposed to the flu.
At Indiana, Vespignani has tried modeling an outbreak, the way forecasters model a hurricane. "It's like doing weather forecasts in which you try to get all the initial conditions, and then you run your numerical models on the computer to try to anticipate what will be the evolution."
The problem is that disease spreads in a fluid social system much more complex than the atmosphere, he said, so "these systems are much more difficult to track than weather."
None of these tools, experts reiterate, can replace the kind of in-depth disease surveillance and testing performed by city, state and federal agencies such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"You're always going to have to have this verified against a system that's physician-based," said Ashley Fowlkes, an epidemiologist with the CDC. "It'll always be a nice adjunct to current surveillance systems and . . . may serve as an early warning system."
The CDC currently has a network of 2,500 doctors nationwide that reports flulike illness on a daily or weekly basis, she said. And the CDC issues a weekly public report on the Internet called Fluview.
Despite the advantages of Internet-based surveillance systems, they also raise issues of privacy.
"The Internet has been . . . a major scientific revolution," Vespignani said. With "all huge scientific revolutions there are enormous potential dangers. And confidentiality, privacy, is probably the first major issue at stake here."
"This is like nuclear power," he said. "You can do atomic bombs with it . . . or you can do nuclear medicine and target cancers."

Improbable Goings-On/
HEY! Time for an update on what's going on around here.
I did some writing for GeekBeat in the last couple of days, and the new post is up. I take a look at CountMeIn's Facebook app. They're a company that makes it very easy to find a gift you'd like to give and let friends chip in on it so you don't have to pay for the whole thing. Looks interesting, though some might wish it weren't tied to Facebook.
I've been busy here on the site, too, of course. I'm continuing to post chapter updates to Fiction Fragments as I make progress on The Price of Entanglement. I have chapters 1-6 posted so far, and I'm working on getting 7-9 assembled and posted. I'll post a table of contents here when I've got it all up.
NaNoWriMo is coming up fast, and I'm working on my idea for this year's event. I seriously doubt I'll be close to finishing The Price of Entanglement before November, so that will probably end up going on break until December, or maybe I'll keep updating it during November as well, if I have time.
And finally, we're getting really close to the 1-year anniversary of the start of this crazy writing experiment I decided to do. I'm looking forward to that for sure! I have some ideas in mind for how to mark the occasion, so stay tuned!


text: Sweden ends job-seeker program accused of recruiting militantsIntroduced in 2010 to address high unemployment among immigrants02/20/2015|hrreporter.com|Last Updated: 02/20/2015 STOCKHOLM (Reuters) — The Swedish government is shutting down a job coaching programme for new immigrants after complaints that it was being used to recruit people for militant groups, a state official said on Friday.The decision comes days after a gunman killed two people in neighbouring Denmark at a synagogue and an event promoting free speech, increasing concerns about the threat of homegrown militancy in the Scandinavia region."We have been alerted by participants that coaches have tried to recruit them to terrorist organizations," said Patrik Svensson, spokesperson for the National Labour Agency that runs the scheme, adding that the government had passed on the information to the Swedish security service to investigate.Svensson said the alleged recruitment drive might be linked to the Islamic State group that controls swathes of Iraq and Syria.Around 32,000 job-seekers have a coach assigned under the scheme, which was introduced in 2010 to address high unemployment among new immigrants.Sweden saw a botched suicide bombing in Stockholm four years ago and the conviction in 2012 of three Swedes for plotting to kill people at a Danish newspaper that had published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

I hear new homeschooling moms on all the social media wishing they had a mentor. They want someone with experience to help them avoid some of the mistakes and inspire them to see how great this non-tradition choice is!
That's where I can help.
I've been mentoring people for decades – my own kids are in their 20s now. All successful happy young adults on 3 very different paths. We started as public school people, tried a little curriculum, and then found ourselves shedding the unnecessary aspects of a schoolish way of thinking and becoming unschoolers. No matter where you are on the journey – or where you visualize yourself being – I've probably spent a little time where you are! My goal is to help you see that learning really is happening all around you and that your relationship with your children matters the most. (No one has much influence if their relationship is lacking, right?)
So let's work together! I can help you remove the obstacles that you're noticing and help you see how to provide the kind of educational environment that works for your family.
Here are the descriptions of the 3 different Mentoring packages I offer:
Month-by-Month Mentoring
You know you'd like to have a 1:1 mentor, but you aren't really sure how much help you need or how long you'll need it. Plus, an hour is a pretty long session – what if you just have a question that week and don't really *need* the full hour.
Let's do a month-by-month plan!
4 sessions (30-minutes each)
When you contact me, I'll probably be able to squeeze you in within 48 hours! Cool, right? That's REALLY a coach on Stand-by!!
Mentoring Mini-Sessions
Sometimes you need quick (and frequent) support! You're looking for a mentor you can develop a relationship with. (I know how hard it is to find like-minded parents out there in some of the communities!)
You'd like a little price break because you know you're going to want to check in and sort things out often. Plus, you like the idea of paying once, and being done with it for a while.
With this plan, we start with a 1 – 1.5 hour session and then follow-up with 30 minute sessions AS NEEDED.
By purchasing this package, you can text/email me to see what I have available in the next 48ish hours. We'll then set up a 30 minute appointment and deal with the issue that's presenting itself.
This truly is like having a coach on Stand-By! I like the visual of you saying, "Hey Sue, can you drop by for a cuppa coffee today or tomorrow? I have something I'd like to chat with you about." And then it happens! Virtually. 😉
Mentoring Premier Package
This Mentoring package is like having a coach/consultant in your back pocket all the time! Because this is such an individualized option, I can only take on a limited number of this kind of coaching/mentoring clients. (Some months there may be a waiting list for new clients)
We won't preset a frequency for our sessions but usually, people choose to do weekly at first, and then move to bi-monthly, then monthly for the last few sessions. It's sometimes hard to anticipate the obstacles that might pop up throughout the year, and this ensures you'll have a full one-hour coaching time slot when you need it.

Yahoo! Messenger has also been thrown in with the 7130g. Now I'm a firm believer in having instant messenger functionality in a mobile device, and I use MSN messenger quite often while I'm on a train to keep in touch with the guys in the office. The only problem with including Yahoo! Messenger is that I don't know anyone else that uses it, so it's not much of a tool for me. The idea is right, but I would have preferred to have seen MSN messenger since it's far more prolific than Yahoo, although I doubt that Microsoft would want to see it running on a non-Windows Mobile device.
A really great inclusion with the 7130g is Google Maps. Not only are you able to pinpoint a location by typing in an address or post code, you can also plot directions between points. Google Maps really makes use of the excellent screen as well, so if you need to find your way somewhere and don't have a GPS, you should be able to get from A-B with the 7130g. I made good use of this feature when I had to head into London for meetings and wasn't familiar with venues – bringing up a map of the area on the 7130g made getting to the meetings simple.
Another impressive feature is the web browsing. I was surprised at how fast the 7130g could resolve pages. Even when roaming the browsing was fast, as I found out when I was catching up on the footie scores via the BBC Mobile site while I was out in Germany for a couple of matches. The data speed is helped by the fact that the 7130g supports EDGE as well as standard GPRS.
To be honest though, the 7130g is pretty nippy no matter what you're doing, but this isn't surprising since it uses the same 312MHz Intel XScale processor as the 8700. Flicking between menus and applications is pretty much instantaneous with the 7130g, which isn't something that can be said for some smartphones.
The 7130g is a quad band handset, so it supports GSM 850, 900, 1800 and 1900, which means that you should be able to use it more or less anywhere in the world. Considering that RIM and the network operators pitch BlackBerry devices at the corporate customer, it comes as no surprise that the 7130g is designed to be traveller friendly.
Battery life is superb, with RIM quoting 18 days in standby and four hours of talk time. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I can say that I've been using the 7130g with over a week between charges. Of course I do use it pretty much solely for data, but that's still pretty good. Also, being that the device is charged via a mini-USB port, you can simply hook it up to your PC or notebook when it does need some juice.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

On Saturday was our monthly Crafternoon meet up. You can check out past month's here, here, and here. I also did it for Mother's Day two years in a row here and here, but now it's turned into a monthly get-together. I just love hanging out with these folks each month…sitting around chatting, eat good food, and try out a crafty project or two.
This month we were gonna do an easy one of spray painting glass jars. Then of course I stumbled across pour painting flower pots (i'll post some instructions) and had to throw that in there too. Luckily next month's project is actually going to be something that does not require any dry time.

There was plenty of food as always…we had sandwiches for lunch and dessert was Butterbeer cupcakes by Tasha, Jessee made chocolate & mint macarons, Molly made a cherry clafouti, and I made Sprinklebakes no-bake strawberry milk cheesecake and a pineapple upside down cake. As always far too much food for a group of 12 adults.

……. does wonders !! If you read my last post that I did this morning ~ you will know that I was going out to mow today and hopefully clear my head. It took me about four hours bumping along this Texas soil (got smart after 2 years and got a sports bra that I wore for the first time today!) Boy, did that make a difference! Whoo hoo!! ….. While mowing, the birds were dive-bombing me. I thought it was those silly killdeer, but they didn't have the stripes around their necks… so I don't know what they were. I took a few pictures, but you can't make out the females, so I got a picture of the male. I don't have a fancy schmancy camera therefore, my close-ups aren't close enough. I had to sneak up around the trees to get a shot of him. If anyone knows what he is, let me know! We used to look for the nest(s) while mowing and then put a stake by them to protect the eggs when we mowed again. That didn't do any good because then some varmint would eat them anyway … so, sorry to say ….. I just mow now and can't be worrying about seeing a nest the size of a pancake somewhere in the grass. They have 52 acres behind me that doesn't get mowed during killdeer season and they still choose my "once a week" mowed yard. UGH!
There he is (above) on the fence! Watching as his "lady" birds are doing something on the ground. I thought they were looking for the nest. These were my dive-bombers!
(Above) are the lady birds (the two brown circles near the bottom center of this picture). I know, I know, I am not a very good bird picture taker. But my friend Kate is, she is at Chronicles of a Country Girl! Check out her pics!
I did however happen to get some pretty shots of the wildflowers on the other side of the fence. Don't they look like a painting??
Now, wouldn't you think this would be a better place to hide a nest????? Silly birds!!
This is another shot of the fence where the male bird was sitting. Bird gone, but barn there! Imagine, this is right from my yard. God, I love where I live!
Here is another shot with a view of the red barn. I hope I am not boring you. Taking these shots today was just what I needed :)
Two more things to tell you. I did not plant these petunias. I had some petunias in pots above this area of the ground last year ~ and I guess the seeds must have dropped …. and here is where they grow! It is not a very convenient place because it is right where I mow and walk … but my heart could never deny them where they want to be!
And lastly, I have to tell you that this round rock has come from a field along the beach between Ventura and Santa Barbara of our beloved Southern California. We, (hubby, me and son) were taking our dear parakeet to his final resting place at the beach. As we walked, and walked along the Pacific Ocean to find just the right place to bury our bird, my son found this rock. He was probably around seven at the time. The rock is about the size of a large cantaloupe (which I spell, cantelope, but spell check disagrees) and probably weighs 5-7 lbs. He proceeded to carry it along the walk and we asked him what he was going to do with it. "It is for my round rock collection", he told us. Well, it was actually the first round rock for his round rock collection. My son is 25 now. This is the only round rock in his round rock collection!!!!! But, I am a mom, so I keep it! You never know, maybe he will have a son and he will find a round rock for the collection!! :)
So, as you can see …. my spirits have been lifted simply by walking out my own back door. And I kid you not, as I typed that sentence, the sun just peeked through the clouds, through my back window and on to my face! If there is anything I must learn from this past week. Love life everyday while we are able.
Thank you all who commented on my last post. I sobbed for a few moments while reading them, not realizing how the week truly took it's toll on my head and my heart. Thank you. Thank you. ~Cheryl

This episode is the second and final chapter of our series on the intersection between spiritual and physical beauty, and how to use both of these powerful forces to elevate your life.
As we began discussing in Episode 101, there are many people who feel that physical beauty implies or can create a lack of spirituality, which is why I felt guided by Pure Source to share a higher truth on the connection between them. Some of these insights may be surprising, and will hopefully broaden your perspective on the paths to true beauty and abundance.
I begin this episode by jumping back into answering your questions on the relationship between external and internal attractiveness and abundance. I dive into the truth behind plastic surgery and how it relates to vanity. I also explore the importance of the intention behind craving to be beautiful, and how to leverage our vanity to expand and motivate ourselves to spiritually ascend.
We finish with a Medihealing designed to bring in true spiritual beauty. I will guide you into a deep meditative state where you can visualize and connection with your vibrant default spiritual age, and see the brilliance of who you truly are.

Stanislav Ginzburg: Tales From Vienna Woods, 2008
5 June - 12 July 2008
"Time and space do not exist. Upon an insignificant background of real life events, the imagination spins and weaves new patterns; a blend of memories, experiences, pure inventions, absurdities and improvisations."
-August Strindberg "A Dream Play"
Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art, New York is pleased to announce our new exhibition Stanislav Ginzburg: Tales from Vienna Woods. The show will run from 5 Jun through 15 July 2008. The gallery will host a reception for the artist on Thursday 5 June from 6-8 PM.
Stanislay Ginzburg: Tales from Vienna Woods presents a broad array of pictures, which underscores his interest in fiction and the subconscious mind, inspired by Murakami's novels, Bergman's films, and Scandinavian folk-tales. Such influences all find their way into his photography and reflect the process of his image making. Describing his work Stanislav writes, "In my images I try to forget where I am. They are my dreams, my adventures, which never happened in life. They give me a chance, a moment, a reason. They happen because there can't be any other way. It's that simple." Ultimately, this ideology materializes through a dark and ominous exploration of a mythical forest, which serves as a playground for artist's imagination and solemn narrative vignettes.
Born and raised in Russia, Ginzburg immigrated to the US at the age of 15. He later received his BFA from Parsons School of Design. His photographs have been shown at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Deitch Projects, and the NY Studio Gallery. Tales from Vienna Woods, is comprised of a dozen large-scale colour photographs, and constitutes his inaugural solo exhibition with Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art. Stanislav currently resides in Brooklyn.

Hi Jonathan, thank's for the answer.
You're right, but I'm trying to implement a report to my security management and so I'm implemementing a meta-directory on top of access-logs written by a cluster of 4-way multi-master OL instances.
Having to go to retrieve logs splitted locally on 4 machines is not so effective.
What I'm searching for, if is it possibile, is a way to propagate the information of the client machine to the authentication directory.
And, as a consequence, obtain that information by means of a simple LDAP search to the accesslog.
If necessary, I can go to manipulate the config of client OS (nss_ldap on Linux and secldapclntd on AIX).
Thanks again

Hi list,
I'm implementing slapo-accesslog in my openldap deployment.
I have about 100 unix/linux systems that use a central openldap
deployment to make authentication and grant access to users.
With accesslog I'm able to see when a particular user has logged in, but
is there a way to obtain, on the LDAP server side, information about
which system has been accessed?

This is my kitty Hobbes. Okay fine, this was when he was a baby. He's not as cute now (and attacks my legs every time I walk across the room) but this picture explains why I love him unconditionally. I was messing around with my blog, learning how to post larger pictures, etc. and I just put this picture in as a "test." But he's so darn cute I'm gonna have to keep him here.

What to do in February for Gardening
February is generally a lot more fun to work in the garden than the last two months, its warmer and frankly its just time to go outside and get out of the house.
-Check and if needed, water your established evergreens and your newly planted trees, shrubs and perennials from summer/fall plantings. Here is a list of plants that appreciate a drink of water in the winter.
-If the daytime highs are above 32 degree F; you can plant potted, bare root, B&B (balled and burlap) trees, fruit trees and berries and shrubs.
-You can do your thinning and rejuvenating pruning on Fruit Trees, this includes apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and almonds.
-Get your roses ready for spring by cutting them back and thinning out some canes. Here is a video to get Roses ready for spring.
-If a summer flowering shrubs is out of control, too big or just looking a little woody; now is a great time to cut them back, thin them out or if need be cut them to the ground. Here is a list of Summer Shrubs who benefit from a Winter Prune.
-If you need to relocate a perennial, rose, shrub or tree now is a best to move it; while it is dormant.
-You can limb up lower tree branches to work the canopy up as the tree grows. Only limb up a foot of branches a year on young trees.
-Spray dormant oil and copper fungicide on Fruit Trees, when the temperature is above 40 degrees F, to clean up any wintering over insects or diseases. Most notable is to control Peach Leaf Curl on Peaches and Nectarines. As well as to control Coddling Moth for Apples and Pears. Please read the label for proper dilution rates to apply to your fruits.
-Spray dormant oil on plants that where very buggy last growing season, when the temperature is above 40 degrees F. Always check the dormant oil label to make sure that plant you want to spray is on it's label.
-Spray copper fungicide on plants that had disease issues last growing season, when the temperature is above 40 degrees F. Always check the Copper fungicide label to make sure that the plant you want to spray is on it's label.

Brexit vote mirrors the power of football to unite -- or divide
PARIS -- When England played Wales in their group-stage match in Lens, I had an encounter that bothered me for some time after. I let it bother me until this morning, in fact. I was at the far end of the press section; only an aisle separated me from a bank of stands filled with English supporters. They were drunk but mostly festive. There was only a crackle of tension. "F--- off, you Welsh bastards," one English guy began shouting, which seemed a bit strong. Who hates the Welsh that much? Then another one of the English supporters hung up a flag.
Flags are an important part of the travelling English experience. They can seem to decorate entire stadiums like drapes. But this particular flag was tied to a stretch of fence that blocked the view of several of us in the press section. I couldn't see maybe a sixth of the pitch. Because my job necessitates seeing the entire pitch, I asked a steward to move the flag, which he did. He moved it to a different stretch of fence that was, no exaggeration, 4 feet to the left. By some miracle, moving it there cleared everybody's view, and the flag remained unfurled. Problem solved.
Not exactly. The guy who had hung up the flag seemed fine with our perfect compromise. But some of the other English fans took offense. One, in particular, went purple. He came across the aisle to scream at me through his gritted teeth. He wasn't just upset. He was enraged. He called me that uniquely British insult that has been eradicated like polio from most of the rest of the world. He called me it again, and again.
I probably should have kept my mouth shut, but I said some impolite words myself. I would guess that what I said didn't matter so much. How I said it -- with my Canadian accent, easily mistaken for American -- seemed to matter quite a bit. His bloodshot eyes went wide. "You're not even English!" he yelled.
This morning I woke in Paris to the news that the United Kingdom had voted to disunite with the European Union. Apparently there is only so much unity that something like 52 percent of the British populace can take. The result was already sending shock waves through France, where it can seem as though nobody cares about anything, so it must be a really big deal. A friend of mine here had joked that the Remain side would win if only because so many of the Leave side were here watching football. Turns out more than enough of the Leave side had stayed home.
The ramifications of the vote, the scope of the change that is about to happen, are well beyond me. But I will say that I think I understand if not the arguments of both sides, then the roots of those arguments. I was born in England, and I can hold an EU passport, at least for now, and I can see very clearly its benefits. So many countries with open doors! I can also still see in my mind's eye that English fan who was so upset because a flag was moved 4 feet.
There is an irony that Brexit happened at the same time as the European Championship. There are two ways to watch football. You can watch it as the one game played all over the world, perhaps the single thing beyond our biology that most unites us. You can watch it and divine all sorts of meaning about forces larger than you. And you can find in it hope and possibility.
Or you can watch football and see in it a fight. You can see it as two counter philosophies. You can measure the pitch as territory to be claimed and lost, and you can find in the colors of the jersey a nationalistic pride, a reason to find faith in your country.
That English fan wasn't mad because the flag was moved. He was mad because that stretch of fence had been English, and now it wasn't. He was happy with the way it was, and he was overruled by systems that felt outside of his control. I wasn't even English. There were so many things wrong with his universe at that moment, he thought his chest might explode.
What's hard to remember sometimes, and what will almost certainly be forgotten in the coming days and weeks of panic and chaos, is that both the Remain and the Leave sides, like the two ways of watching football, were so strong because they were both rooted in love. The division came only in the choice of how best to express that love, and to whom that love would be devoted, and whether there are limits to love and its powers called borders, or whether love is limitless.
I forgot that, too, that afternoon in Lens. Today is good day to try to remember. That English fan loved that flag and everything it represents. It was also blocking my view of the game I love and how I wished to see it. But each of our expressions of that love looked like hate to the other. That's when the aisle between us became a chasm, and we were both left feeling wounded, as though another formerly sacred thing of ours was now ruined, and everything else was that much closer to falling apart.

Scott Loach doesn't look the type of fella to be fazed by anything.
He may be only 19 but the goalkeeper has the air of a player who is comfortable in any situation.
The 1,200 City fans behind him on Saturday will vouch for his nerveless demeanour when Loach not only saved the Macclesfield penalty but also somehow kept out the follow-up piledriver from six yards out.
He has only got a handful of senior appearances behind him but this young lad seems pretty confident with anything thrown his way.
Yet Loach freely admits he was lost for words when he walked in to Valley Parade for the first time to meet his new team-mates.
It was not the shock of seeing the size of the stadium or the prospect of playing in front of the biggest crowds in League Two but the identity of the club's goalkeeping coach.
"I was a bit star-struck when I came in the changing rooms and saw Nigel Martyn," said Loach. "I didn't know about him being here and they'd kept that a surprise - I didn't know what to say.
"He is probably one of the best keepers in the country that never really got the chance to be the England number one regularly. So it's a privilege to train alongside him.
"Just working with Nige and his presence being there on the training ground makes you drive that little bit harder. You can't fail to learn in that situation."
Loach is no stranger to practising with quality goalkeepers since Watford splashed out a reputed £50,000 to snap him up from Lincoln's school of excellence. He was instantly taken under the wing of long-established Hornets stopper Alec Chamberlain as well as England prospect Ben Foster during his year-long loan stay from Manchester United.
Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd, like Sir Alex Ferguson with Foster, now wants the teenage prodigy to cut his first-team teeth further down the league ladder.
Loach started the season in the Blue Square Premier at Stafford, playing 11 games, before joining Morecambe as emergency cover last month.
He made three appearances for the Shrimps, including a penalty-saving wonder show at Macclesfield - and a first senior clean sheet against Bury, City's next opponents at the weekend.
The permanent arrival of Iraqi Shwan Jalal from Peterbor-ough cut short his stay in Lancashire but it also cleared the way for Stuart McCall to make a move on a player he had earmarked a couple of months before.
Loach has so far taken the move to City in his stride. Even the uncomfortable prospect of Donovan Ricketts breathing down his neck after his QPR switch broke down has not unsettled him.
"There's no rivalry between us," added Loach. "Obviously I'd love to play but it's the gaffer's decision and if he picks Donovan then I'll be behind him 100 per cent.
"Donovan would probably step into any other team in this league. With his experience of being an international as well, I'm getting a good vibe off him and Nigel.
"At 19 I can't ask for anything more than to be playing for a club like this. They are great fans, the ground is brilliant and it looks like the team are on the up.
"Obviously I'm here for myself to gain experience but anything I can do to help the team progress is a bonus."
