Top dressing
Indoor plants benefit from fresh compost occasionally, but some resent the root disturbance that comes with complete repotting. Others perform best when their roots are confined and some are simply too large to be easily repotted. These plants will all benefit from a layer of top dressing.
Scrape off 2.5-5cm (1-2 inches) of soil and replace with fresh compost, then water.
Pots: Choosing containers
There is a great range of pots available from garden centres that are suitable for indoor plants. The main choice you will need to make is between terracotta and plastic pots. Each has its benefits and drawbacks. Plastic pots are cheap and easy to get hold of, they are light and easy to move, contain moisture well and will not break if dropped. However, many people prefer the natural appearance of terracotta and their added weight can be helpful with large, top-heavy plants. Whichever type you choose, it is important to keep the same type throughout the life of the plant. Each creates quite different environments for the plant roots and growth may be checked if you change from one to the other.
When buying a container, always check that there are drainage holes. There are lots of decorative pots available which do not have any. These are only useful as an ornamental container for another pot with drainage holes.
Potting on
To avoid checking growth, indoor plants should always be potted on into a slightly larger pot each year. This gives them some fresh compost to grow into, preventing the roots from getting congested. Pot your houseplants on at the beginning of spring when the plants are just starting into growth.
Carefully tip the plant out of its existing pot. If it does not come out easily, hold upside-down and tap the edge of the pot against the edge of a bench or table. You can also push the plant out through the drainage holes.
If the roots of your plant are tangled and congested, tease them out carefully as this will encourage them to grow into the new compost, rather than circling the existing root ball. Pull away some of the compost from the surface of the root ball.
If using a terracotta pot, place some pieces of broken pot or crocks over the holes in the base as this will help drainage even further. Fill the bottom 2.5cm/inch or so of the pot with compost and place the plant onto it.
Carefully feed compost down the sides of the root ball. Use your fingers to make sure there are no pockets of air and to firm down the compost. Then add more compost to the surface until it reaches the level of the old compost. Make sure the soil level is at least an inch below the rim of the pot. This makes watering easier. Finally, water the plant in. You will not need to feed the plant for about a month.
Re-potting cacti
When re-potting cacti you need to protect yourself from the spines. Wear sturdy gardening gloves. Take a piece of newspaper and fold it into a strip before joining the two sides together to form a loop. This loop can then be wrapped around the top of the plant to help pull it out of its pot. Pot on as for other plants but always make sure there is plenty of drainage at the bottom of the pot. To make sure, add a layer of grit at the bottom and another layer on the surface of the soil to prevent rotting around the stem.

PARIS, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Britain's exit from the European Union will potentially put London, the EU's biggest capital market, out of reach, putting pressure on the other 27 countries to find new ways to finance their economies.
Britain has the EU's biggest financial market, where companies from across the EU raise money by issuing shares or bonds, meet with institutional investors and buy and sell securities and derivatives.
But the UK is leaving the bloc in March 2019 and future trading relations between Britain and the EU have yet to be agreed. This is now raising fundamental questions over whether an EU of 27 countries should rely so heavily on a country outside the bloc to fund its economy.
The EU has already sought to reboot its plans for a Capital Markets Union or CMU to increase capital market funding for the economy, a project originally conceived with Britain inside the bloc.
This will not be enough for some.
Olivier Guersent, the European Commission's top civil servant for financial services, said it was unlikely that any jurisdiction would accept being so heavily reliant on an outside financial centre as the EU would be on Britain after Brexit.
"This thinking needs to happen," Guersent said on Tuesday at a conference organised by the EU's markets watchdog ESMA.
Sylvie Matherat, chief regulatory officer at Deutsche Bank, which has a large chunk of its capital market operations in London said: "The CMU is really a wonderful idea but to make it work we need to have a market, and currently within Europe we don't have a market."
"The CMU is not enough post Brexit", Rainer Riess, director general of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges, said. "We don't have the equity buffer in our economy."
Fabrice Demarigny, a former ESMA official, said a high level group should look at the EU capital market after Brexit, to see if it has enough critical mass to finance the region's economy.
"We need a clear and ambitious strategic sense of direction to make sure the union will be properly equipped to finance itself," Demarigny said.
Guersent also said the EU should let the raft of financial rules agreed since the 2007-2009 financial crisis bed down. He said if financial rules were continuously changed, long-term investment could be hit.
The EU has approved scores of new rules to make banks and markets safer and more transparent as part of an intensive global effort to improve the stability of the financial system since the crisis.
"I think we should now let the dust settle," Guersent said. "We should not launch an all big, new workstream."

Karol Musher STARS Early Childhood Intervention Program
Karol Musher STARS Early Childhood Intervention Program was designed to enable preschool children with special needs - language, social pragmatic and sensory motor challenges - to attain skills required for transition into traditional school settings.
Our program provides multi-disciplinary intervention in a highly structured, language based, creative and nurturing environment within a Jewish setting. Families are collaborative partners in the ongoing observation, treatment and education of our students. Children have the unique opportunity to develop communication, play and social skills with typical peer groups at a traditional preschool campus.
Children eligible for STARS are between the ages 2-5 with language, social pragmatic and sensory motor challenges. Students attending this program require intensive educational support and multidisciplinary intervention. The STARS program runs daily from 8:30 AM-2:00 PM, September through August to ensure that participating children retain acquired skills and experience minimal regression.
The STARS curriculum is eclectic, drawing upon various models, depending upon the particular needs and readiness of each student. Each child's intervention plan is based upon our initial assessments and ongoing evaluations.
Individual therapeutic plans will focus upon the following:
- Cognitive Development (pre-academic and academic)
- Learning Readiness
- Communication (receptive/expressive)
- Social Development/Play Skills
- Self-Care (including eating, toileting, dressing, grooming and hygiene)
- Motor Development (fine and gross)
- Sensory Integration
- Jewish Holidays and Shabbat Experiences
Speech and language therapy and occupational therapy are integral components of the STARS educational program. In addition, physical education, arts and crafts, aquatics, and music are provided to support every child's classroom experience.
We are currently enrolling students and have limited spaces available. If you would like more information or have any questions about Karol Musher STARS Early Childhood Intervention Program, please contact Meagan Friedman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 713.551.7200.

Class Mysteries
Shop Mysteries
DEBBIE CAFFREY Teaches and Lectures for your event or guild.
I teach workshops from any pattern that I have published,
I prefer to teach process classes. I encourage you to
have your local teachers offer classes based upon my patterns.
I can provide supply lists, class outlines, and teaching aids
to help them. In classes taught by another instructor
based upon my publications, each student is required to purchase
a copy of the pattern or book.
I assume all quilters have a brain.
My philosophy is to teach you the process of quilting, and
not how to duplicate a pattern. Quilting is my passion, and
I want it to be yours for many, many years of enjoyment and
I welcome beginners, who are patient
and eager to learn more about quilting. In all of my
classes, even those that are intermediate, I am willing to
teach some of the basic skills as the rest of the class is
working. Many class projects can be scaled down in size
and skill level to accommodate a beginner while experienced
quilters continue along with the more advanced project.
For further information or inquiries
regarding Debbie teaching at your shop,
contact her!
OF THE WEST RETREAT GOES ON THE ROAD – Based upon the slates
of classes that Debbie has designed for her own retreats that
she hosts in New Mexico. Debbie carefully selects a wide variety
of processes and projects to give quilters an overall feeling
of being "in the studio with Debbie Caffrey". Classes
can be customized to fit your group's interests.
CUTTING & POWER CUTTING, TOO – Based upon books of the
same titles. Power cutting is a fast and efficient approach to
rotary cutting. Power cutting is a collection of cutting techniques
that allows quilters to choose the one that is best for the task
at hand. For instance, making a few large half-square triangle
units for a quilt should employ a different approach than making
many small units. Working with scraps, strips, and charm squares
requires different techniques than working with yardage of a few
fabrics. I want quilters to bring fabrics to use for exercises
to learn the various methods of power cutting. Even with this
process approach quilters will have some time to sew on a project
during the workshop. Much of the first day will be used for process
and the balance of the workshop is for making a project. Quilters
may choose to make any of the projects in either power cutting
book, or choose another pattern of their liking from a book, pattern,
or magazine. Using what they have learned in the process exercises,
they may choose to cut and piece the quilt differently than the
written instructions.
Please note that
this workshop can be taught as a one or two day class. If given
in one day, actual sewing time and some of the information must
be reduced.
Here to See Other Projects
TO YOU, TOO – Based upon book of the same title. I teach
the strip-piecing technique that I developed for this book, how
to make adjustments in size, how to use the unit in traditional
blocks, and how to use the Bird in the Air blocks as a design
unit by itself. After learning the basic technique, quilters can
decide whether to continue to design with the units, or make a
quilt using a design that I have presented.
Here to See Other Projects
– Based upon books of the same title. While scheming about
how to control the smaller pieces of fabrics in my stash, I began
to get side tracked about multiple fabric quilts (my favorite),
friendship quilts, and the popularity of charm square trading.
All of these ideas have come together in this workshop which is
based upon 2 1/2" wide strips. This workshop is designed
to show you how many different ways you can dice a worm (a 2 1/2"
wide strip of fabric) to create fast and fun quilts. The blocks
you will make are various sizes, but with some creativity, they
could be combined into one quilt. More likely, these will be samples
for you to learn the skills for making dozens of quilts. In a
two day workshop, there should be time to make the samples, as
well as, start a quilt. Because the quilts are based on 2 1/2"
wide strips, these are wonderful for friendship quilts, scrap
quilts, and fabric exchanges! Don't let the fact that the
quilts are based upon strips fool you. There are a few strip-pieced
projects, but there are many more that have triangles, trapezoids,
and other shapes. It is a wonderful class for introducing scrap
or multi-fabric quilts, and a variety of skills and techniques.
There are no templates for any of the quilts! By the end of this
workshop, you will agree that we have really "opened a can
of worms".
SOUP – Based upon book of the same title. This is the same
format as "Open a Can of Worms", but the quilts are
made from 2" wide strips, and they are completely different
quilt patterns. So many of the quilts I planned for "worms"
did not fit my constraints of the 2 1/2" wide strips, but
they were perfect for piecing from 2" wide strips. More
techniques are introduced in this workshop. Be sure to read the
description of "Open a Can of Worms" for more insight
about what to expect from the workshop. "Open a Can of Worms"
is not a prerequisite for this class. Conversely, those of you
who take both workshops will not be bored with redundant information.
Here to See Other Projects
STIR-FRY – You know the drill. You open the refrigerator
wondering what's for dinner, and in no time, much to your
surprise, those mismatched odds and ends become something very
tasty! Learn how to use traditional blocks, original ones, leftover
parts of quilts, orphan blocks, and inherited pieces to make a
one of a kind quilt. Class will emphasize making blocks or units
in any size from scratch (scraps), using template-free techniques
when possible, and fitting together odd sizes of units to make
fun, and sure to be cherished, unique and personal quilts.
Please note that
this workshop can be taught as a one or two day class. If given
in one day, actual sewing time and some of the information must
be reduced.
BASICS – Based upon pattern of the same title. This class
will lead quilters through numerous techniques that improve precision
and speed up piecing and cutting. By the end of this class students
should not only know how to make the sampler, but have the skills
to make a dozen or more quilts. Intermediate Level.
SAMPLER – Based upon book of the same title. Purchase of
the book is required. This quilt has twenty-one blocks with names
that fit an Alaskan theme. The class will teach all the techniques
necessary for making either version of my Alaskan Samplers. Intermediate
HIP TO BE SQUARE – Using the great Method #5 technique for
making half-square triangle units from Debbie's book Power
Cutting, Too, you will learn how to make a variety of blocks including
Split Nine Patch, as seen in the book's cover quilt "Robo-Cats",
a scrappy simple Nine Patch Autumn Leaf, a scrappy Bear's
Paw, Friendship Stars, Delectable Mountains, etc…by making
very simple, large (6" - 10") half-square triangle units.
TRACKS – Using the great Method #4 (bias strips) technique
for making half-square triangle units from Debbie's book
Power Cutting, Too, you will learn how to make triangle units
by the dozens quickly, precisely, with no individual pressing,
no dog ears to trim, and no paper to tear! Use the units to make
"Coyote Tracks", "Winter Trails" (both
of these quilts are in the Power Cutting, Too book), or any other
quilt requiring numerous small half-square triangle units.
– Based upon book of the same title. This book contains
four different patterns. Each of the patterns employs a different
skill or technique. All four patterns are presented in the workshop.
Most of the day will be spent sewing. Each quilter will choose
which of the four patterns to work on and what size quilt she
will make.
-- I have designed over one hundred mystery quilt patterns. Most
conferences where I teach offer a mystery as one of my classes.
Since there is a lot of sewing, these classes are a great compliment
to another day's intensive design and decision-making class.
PATTERNS – My line of "Classy
Patterns" is growing rapidly. Consult the
website to see all the latest. Inquire about which ones make
for better workshops.
to the Top
ask for recommendations if half-day or late night workshops are
part of your schedule. Mysteries are probably the most popular
late night classes. Single quilt patterns from any of my books
or patterns are good choices for half-day/late night classes,

The award was announced earlier this month at an international media preview for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Visteon will demonstrate the technology at CES, Jan. 8-11, 2007, in Las Vegas.
This in-vehicle technology eliminates the need to have dedicated power cords for each portable device in the vehicle. The user simply places the device on Visteon's wireless charger, and power is transferred by electromagnetic induction from the charging surface to the user's portable device at a rate comparable to a plug-in power cord.
"Any driver or passenger who uses an electronic device, such as a mobile phone or MP3 player, would benefit from the convenience of this innovation," said Steve Meszaros, vice president, Visteon electronics product group. "Based on consumer studies that Visteon conducted in several countries, people are willing to invest in the convenience of not having to deal with charging cords in a vehicle."
The wireless charger contains intelligence that can determine if an object is in close proximity to the charger, and whether the object can be charged.
In addition to being featured at Visteon's exhibit, the new wireless charging technology will be displayed by the CEA during the January electronics show at the Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase and at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Booth #68747. Visit http://www.CESweb.org/innovations for details on Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Award honorees.
Products entered in the Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Awards program were judged by a panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer electronics products. The program is sponsored by CEA, producer of the International CES -- the world's largest consumer technology trade show. It is endorsed by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), which is committed to advancing the industrial design profession through education, information, community and advocacy.
Visteon Corporation is a leading global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative climate, interior, electronic and lighting products for vehicle manufacturers, and also provides a range of products and services to aftermarket customers. With corporate offices in Van Buren Township, Mich. (U.S.); Shanghai, China; and Kerpen, Germany; the company has more than 170 facilities in 26 countries and employs approximately 46,000 people.

text: This is an old article on how to make cash from rewriting books and manuals. Perhaps some here may find it useful. And you don't have to pay $97. for this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How To Make Money With Information That STINKS! Learn how to make fast money selling simple booklets. With print-on-demand technology, you can make money from the comfort of your own home. How many times have you purchased a: * Book * E-Book * Course * Newsletter * Membership * Video * Cassette Tape Series or Info CD that was supposed to change your life? And how many times did the product leave you with the mental equivalent of INDIGESTION? Probably more times than you'd like to admit. Well, this past week, I met a man who has made a living recycling lousy information products. Between that and his ghost writing business, he makes a very good living. He has three clients. As it turns out, that's all he needs to make a very good living. He writes under so many different pen names that you could probably turn his head in a crowd by shouting out any one of a half-dozen names. He markets all of his "authors" books (he being all of them) under a single catalog. Or so I've been told. He finds most of his LOUSY publications at the local library and used book stores. Most authors, he contends, have downright boring writing styles. Almost robotic. They give one diluted, watered-down fact after another. My friend simply ads a little "spice" and "seasoning." How does he do it? First, he writes down all of the chapter names on a piece of paper. One piece of paper for each chapter. If you're using a notebook, one page with the chapter name at the top. Then, he writes down all of the USEFUL information from the chapter on the blank spaces beneath. He does this for each chapter. With a 15-page chapter, he'll usually have enough info to fill about 3-pages. After he's finished, he'll either combine 2 chapters into one - depending on how much GOOD information he found and/or do a little research to add additional meat to the book. Finally, he improves the chapter names and the book's title. Then he publishes the new book. It takes him about 1 month to complete a book from start to finish. This man told me, "Most people go broke trying to be original." Recently, I spoke at a conference and shared my ideas about how this can be done with magazine articles and booklet creation. The "new" book that's based upon the "old" ones is the exclusive property of the "new" author or his publisher. The "old" authors get ZILCH. NOTE: Chances are, the "old" authors probably "borrowed" quite a bit of their material from someone else as well. As with just about everything, the "copy" (or new book) only has to be 40% different to be considered an original work. There are "copies" of just about every product and/or brand on the market. A good example is the automotive industry. Ever notice the similarities between different models? Compare the Camaro to the Firebird. Not too different. The new products are modified just enough to make them originals. So the next time you read a post on a discussion board where someone asks, "I'm trying to sell my Grandmother's Blackstrap Molasses recipe without much success? Any suggestions for marketing my product?" - you can point them in the right direction. There may not be gold in them thar hills anymore, but it could very well be hiding beneath a layer of dust on a bookshelf - somewhere in your local vicinity! The End

'Mermaid' Used For Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Trailer [VIDEO]
Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue is out featuring Kate Upton on the cover and now a trailer has been released for the issue and its soundtrack is set to Train's latest hit "Mermaid".
The band's song was chosen for the soundtrack but Train themselves didn't get to tag along with the SI cameras as they went across seven continents to photograph the swimsuit models in their bikini's in the snow, the desert, on rocks, in the river and of course on the beach too!
The video follows right along with the song lyrics. Train is set to kick off their Mermaids of Alcatraz tour in July and will be at the Gexa Energy Pavilion in Dallas on Saturday, August 3rd.

I'm a little late, but Happy New Year! Lol.
So last Saturday, I brought Popo to the vet for her annual checkup and blood test. Several good news!
So last Saturday, I brought Popo to the vet for her annual checkup and blood test. Several good news!
- No queue = we could see Dr. Ling almost right away.
- Checked her ears and the dirt (under microscope) and pronounced mite-free! Time for swimming!
- Blood test results were normal...except for BUN. But Dr. Ling reassured me that it's quite normal for a raw fed dog due to the larger amount of protein.
- Found out Dr. Ling is okay with raw feeding. I believe she did some reading of her own too.
- Wanted to do a hypothyroidism test too but Dr. Ling advised against it. I think other vets would do it without second thoughts. Who'd say no to more money?
- Popo still trembled furiously, especially inside the examination room. But she was a little more relaxed outside in the waiting area. ^^v
I'm pretty glad I found Dr. Ling. She's probably going to be the only vet I'm going to visit ever. Did I ever mention that she did Popo's spay surgery too? The girl didn't even need an e-collar and the wound healed beautifully. It's barely visible now. I don't want to share where Dr. Ling's clinic is at, because her slots are packed full enough already. Boo.
After that we brought the girl to Marina Barrage! Her first official outing. Honestly speaking, I was almost as excited as she was. It was a nice feeling to be bringing her to places other than grandma's house, the vet, the groomer's, or downstairs around the neighbourhood. A small part of me wanted to show her off too. LOL. It definitely feels good when someone exclaims how pretty your dog is. And yes, she got another TWO compliments that day. =D
Here's her smelling the many new smells in the wind! And her excited face. <3<3<3 And SSD in the background preparing his kite for takeoff. Lol.
Love seeing the wind in her hair. Doesn't she look happy and relaxed?
Love seeing the wind in her hair. Doesn't she look happy and relaxed?
She doesn't take to new places easily, so I brought a couple of her toys to help. I first played with the blue rubber toy on the grass, but she ran around in circles instead. She was more okay with her black pig on familiar concretes.
And she made a 'friend'!
The cute little thing wandered over and they started smelling each other. It was quite exciting to watch since this was our first attempt at socializing (those at the groomer's don't count cos even I feel overwhelmed with the amount of dogs). He totally looked smitten with her lmao! But it didn't end very well considering Popo rejected him with a small growl. Oh wells, at least we've taken the first step. More to come I hope!

after going through many trials, tribulations, and attempts to fix my computer, i was left with only one option, to fully restore it back to factory settings. i thought this would cleanse all of my problems. now i have no sound.
i have tried running services.msc and windows audio is correctly enabled.
it is likely to be a missing sound driver, but i have no clue how to determine where i can get this said driver.
i think it is important to note that it appears that none of my usb ports in the front or back of my computer are active.
any help would be appreciated. thanks

CoolerMaster CS-M Weapon of Choice M4 DM Mousepad Review
When it comes to gaming a good mousing surface can make all the difference. With the right amount of slip and grip on a mouse pad you can get way more precision, which equates to better shots in an FPS especially when going for that all important "headshot." CoolerMaster, as you know, makes many cooling products but they also have many great products for gamers like cases, peripherals, and surfaces that are specifically targeted toward this audience. The company even made it into a separate brand called Storm and today I am reviewing the CoolerMaster Storm CS-M Weapon of Choice. Featured are two versions of this mouse pad, this Weapon of Choice being an M4 and the other being an AK.
Closer Look:
So let's take a closer look at our M4 here. Our M4 comes packaged in a rather small and modest box. What is great is that if you happened to be at a store browsing between different mouse pads CoolerMaster actually puts a preview of the surface on the outside of the box to let you feel what it is actually like without having to open the box. Apart from that the one side of the box tells you how CoolerMaster rates the quality of this mouse pad. One of the other sides consists of where to get support from CoolerMaster in multiple languages. Finally, the last side we'll talk about lists the specifications and features of the mouse pad. I bet you're itching to actually see what this pad looks like so be my guest.
The design is rather awesome I must say. What I mean by design is the art on the front looks really great. As you can see, it is the depiction of a silhouette of an M4 along with a flying bullet and what appears to be some black blood spray. Pretty graphic I guess and it's probably something you wouldn't buy for your kid either, but for an avid gamer who likes FPSes this is probably a great art design. The top surface also feels comfortable when you move your finger across it. When rubbing it lengthwise it slides across smooth but when going the other way it feels more rough and seems to generate a little more friction going in that direction. On the back, of course, is a rubber grip that is designed to not move unless you pick up the pad. On another note, the pad is rather light so you should have no problem wrapping it up and taking it with you to LAN parties.
Now let's move on and discuss performance and some specs and features of the mouse.


text: so I work with this guy a couple of years older than me and I have a crush on him and I can't tell how he feels about me. I've noticed that he tends to be very quiet around me however he has started making conversation like asking me when I'm next working etc and saying he'll see me then. Basically unnecessary small talk? And I ALWAYS see him looking at me but he looks down/away after and carries on with what he was doing. Also he was showing me how to do something and when he was explaining he was properly looking at me and when I looked up at him I had to look down because I felt awkward do you know what I mean? Like I felt like we would be looking into each other's eyes so I looked away. Also he compliments me at work saying I'm doing good and stuff and he's so patient with me if I ever get things wrong. I'm not sure whether I'm interpreting it all wrong or if he actually likes me? Any help?

Welcome to Tampa Mediation, Inc.
Daniel Genet is the founder and president of Tampa Mediation and is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Civil and Family Law Mediator in the Tampa Bay area with over 14 years of litigation and mediation experience in family law, civil disputes and personal injury matters. Mediation is a process where the mediator, acting in an impartial and neutral way, helps the parties reach an agreement. It gives the parties to a divorce an opportunity to divorce with dignity, civility and respect. It also gives parties in other civil matters an opportunity to maintain a continued working relationship and resolve their dispute efficiently. The mediator works to help keep the discussions focused on the interests of the parties and on creative solutions that benefit both sides. Even when cases are not resolved at mediation, the parties typically learn something of value and frequently resolve the case without having to go to trial.
The goal of mediation is to help the parties reach an agreement that is acceptable to all of the parties. The parties know their situation better than anyone else and thus, are better equipped than the court to know the best solution. Mediation allows for a much more customized and creative solution than can typically be achieved by the Court. The Court has very limited time and is bound by the law in its decision-making.
Mediation is appropriate for parties that either do not have attorneys or are represented by attorneys. Frequently, mediation opens the door for the parties to communicate effectively in a safe environment, gives the parties an opportunity to better understand each other's interests, needs and wants, gives the parties an opportunity to brainstorm and sets the stage for healthier communications in the future.
The mediator does not make decisions for you but will help you reach your own agreements that are more thoughtful and workable than an order imposed upon you by the Court. The parties are in complete control of creating the final agreement. The parties may also call upon advisors such as attorneys, financial analysts, CPAs, valuation professionals, medical providers or therapists to assist. Tampa Mediation, Inc is here to facilitate your mediation and help you resolve your disputes.
Thank you for choosing Tampa Mediation, Inc and we look forward to working with you.

A warning has been issued over Christmas tree lights after a set caught fire in a home.
Firefighters from Normanton and Castleford were called to the home on Heseltine Close, Normanton, at around 12.20pm on Sunday.
Watch Commander at Castleford David Smith said: "Nobody was in the house at the time. When the occupants returned, they found the house full of smoke and there was quite an intense fire in the living room.
"It is believed the lights on the Christmas tree, which were possibly faulty, had caused the blaze.
"We would urge people not to leave their tree lights switched on when not in the property."

RIP Deneequia Dodds
22 year old Dennequia 'Dee Dee' Dodds was shot in the early morning hours on July 4 in a northeast DC alley just a few blocks from her home in the 200 block of Division Ave NE. After police were flagged down to reach her at 3 AM EDT, she was taken to an area hospital with a gunshot wound to her neck, and was on life support for nine days before she was taken off of it and died July 13
"Her death reminds us all how often the transgender community is targeted for violence in our society," said longtime DC based trans advocate Earline Budd, who is acting as a spokesperson for the family.
Casa Ruby founding executive director Rudy Corado said in a statement, "Deneequia was part of the Casa Ruby family, and she is gone but not forgotten. Her death will not be in vain."
"Casa Ruby denounces the genocide of young transgender women of color. People in leadership need to address the employment barriers that keeps trans women of color from accessing the resources they need to grow healthy and thrive," Corado added.
A vigil was held in the courtyard of her home at 5255 Clay Terrace NE on Saturday, with Dodds' funeral scheduled to take place July 25.
Deneequia Dodds has become the 15th trans person to die this year, and fits the ongoing pattern of anti-trans violence of being a trans woman of color and under age 30.
DC Metropolitan Police has not released any information about a suspect, nor are they investigating Dodds' murder as a hate crime. But with her death, when they do catch the perpetrator of this crime, that waste of DNA will be facing homicide charges.
MPD is also looking for information that will help solve this crime and bring Deneequia's killer to justice You can call 202-727-9099 if you have information about this case. You can also text 50411 to anonymously submit you information about this case.
There is a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in this case, and I hope our sister receives justice soon. The Washington DC trans community and our allies will be making sure that happens.

Happy Mail Valentine – Matchup with a Twist #1
It's my first creation of 2016!
I decided to restart my Matchup challenge and I've added a twist for each one. Today's Matchup is Sugar Pea Designs and WRMK paper with a twist of accent dies (I used a Taylored Expression tag die). All supplies will be listed in a list below.
This card is also for the SugarSketch 35 at Sugar Pea Designs. I decided to create a Valentine card since I'm just a teeny bit tired of Christmas cards.
I used some newer WRMK paper called Crush and the Sugar Pea Designs Happy Mail stamp set. One of my goals that I forgot to list earlier is to have my cards be finished and ready to mail. So I continued the sentiment from the front to the inside and stamped the two hearts included in the stamp set.
Here is the sketch~
Stamps: Sugar Pea Designs Happy Mail
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Strawberry Slush
CS: Copic Xpress blending card, SU Strawberry Slush, SU Pink Pirouette
PP: WRMK Crush
Other: Taylored Expressions Build a Tag 5 dies, MFT Sweet Tooth ribbon, Creative Memories heart punch, Trendy Twine, SU dimensionals, copics

If you are looking for car loans than there are a number of options that could be open to you.
One of these may be to try an online car finance broker to help you find the most appropriate loan for your own circumstances out of the numerous car loans that may be available on the market.
Applying is straightforward
You'll need to supply a few basic details about yourself and your employment. This will allow a decision to be made about just how much you could comfortably afford to repay on your car loan.
You can then use this figure as a guide when looking for your new car.
Finding your car
Some car loan companies online may have their own dealerships where you can select a vehicle. Others may allow you to extend your choice and also look elsewhere.
You may need to bear in mind that to use car finance facilities such as these, your chosen dealership may need to have a valid consumer credit licence. This may make this type of borrowing unsuitable for a car purchase from a private individual for example.
Once you've located a car that you like, you'll need to let the loan company know a few basic details about it. This will include its registration, mileage, how much of a loan you'd need and who you are buying it from.
This will allow them to calculate the loan they are prepared to offer.
Market value
A car loan is typically based on the market value of the vehicle rather than the selling price.
This helps avoid situations where your loan has a greater value than the car itself.
What this means in practice is that the amount the lender may be prepared to advance you will vary depending on the actual car you're interested. It may not be:
l as much as the guide figure you may have been given when you submitted your application
l enough to cover the asking price of the car.
You can always contribute to the purchase yourself or perhaps offer your old car as part exchange.
Car loans can help you keep mobile if you decide you'd like to upgrade your vehicle to a newer model. Applying is often easy and fast.

Nightline goes to the wrong source
They talk to the enemy instead of the men who served with him.
There is nothing more to be said except for the reaction of John O'Neill:
I would only ask the American people: "Who do you trust more, three members of a communist regime that tortured and killed our American troops or a group of more than 280 highly decorated American veterans, who proudly served their country and are now responsible members of their respective communities?"
The number of veterans who support John Kerry's accounts of his military service would not fill one Swift Boat. But instead of sitting down to interview some of the 280 plus members of our Swift Boat organization, ABC News chose to travel to Vietnam taking extraordinary and highly suspect steps to find someone to corroborate John Kerry's story.
ABC News Nightline has now dedicated three separate programs to this one incident while ignoring John Kerry's now discredited Senate testimony that he spent Christmas in Cambodia, his receiving a purple heart after all three of the officers required to approve such an issuance rejected his application, or his constantly changing account of the circumstances surrounding his remaining medal, a bronze star.
Further, one has to wonder why ABC News will not address the serious questions as to why John Kerry only received an honorable discharge through the act of then President Carter, seven years after his discharge, and had to have all of his military citations reissued, on the same day, when he became a United States Senator in 1985. And, finally, why has Nightline found it of no interest to permit any POWs to come on their program to explain why they believe John Kerry betrayed their nation, caused them to be incarcerated for an additional two years and caused them tremendous additional hardship and suffering.

Daring Bakers: Milan Cookies with Lemon Ice Cream
The July Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network.
For this month's Daring Bakers Challenge, I was excited to see that we could make Milan cookies. I guess everyone is familiar with the classic Pepperidge Farm line of Milano Cookies, so these were fun to make using Gale Gand's recipe. The cookies are light and lemony with a layer of orange flavored chocolate sandwiched in between two cookies. Since the cookies have a lemon flavor to them, I thought a lemon ice cream would be nice to serve alongside. If you wanted something even lighter, you could serve the cookies with a lemon sorbet using the recipe from this post. Remember when making your ice cream or sorbet, it is so easy - make the mixture in the morning, stick it in the fridge to get well chilled and when you're ready for ice cream, it only takes about 20-25 minutes in your ice cream maker.

Hail summer, hail bright Julys/ Hail halos in our hair/ And night skies with fireflies
Hail summer, hail bright Julys/ Hail halos in our hair/ And night skies with fireflies
A poem that perfectly describes why fall is delightful.
This year was a little rough around the edges.
Thanksgiving is here and not a day too soon/ To lift the fog, to lift the gloom
February teases with shifting light
Pink sunsets and a whisper on wings
Soon, darling.
Soon, sunshine.
Soon, spring.
February teases with blessings in breezes
Love notes for strangers
Come quickly, darling.
Come quickly, sunshine.
Come quickly, spring.
I am still learning
About this thing we call life and how it works
And how we keep time here on this earth
How do we mark heaven here below
And find its mercy in our melancholy?
How do we bring it down to our hearts
And keep it there the whole year through
I do not know, do you?
Christmas comes too quickly for a heart some years.
But I keep it, I keep it.
Christmas comes too jolly for a heart some years.
But I take it in, I take it in.
Christmas comes too quiet for a heart some years.
But I listen, I listen.
This year I held doubt close
And found sorrow in all seasons
But my heart is still here.
This year I lost love
Over and over and over again

This year I shivered and fevered
And felt the edge of the forest near

Wyoming State Parks Face 8% Cut for FY '14
August 2, 2012 by Justin Leighty - () Comments Off on Wyoming State Parks Face 8% Cut for FY '14
Possible budget cuts could reduce seasonal staff and strip operations to bare-bones levels at several of Wyoming's state parks.
Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources officials briefed lawmakers Wednesday (Aug. 1) on their plan to cut the department's standard budget by 8 percent for fiscal year 2014, the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle reported.
Gov. Matt Mead directed most state agencies to create the proposals because of fears that low natural gas prices and other dismal revenues will cause a budget shortfall.
Milward Simpson, the director of the department, told the Legislature's Joint Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Interim Committee that his proposal would cut a total of $1.29 million from the general fund budget.
This would include a:
- $243,976 reduction that would cut 10 to 20 seasonal employees who perform maintenance, fee-booth operations and law enforcement services at various state parks.
- $277,132 reduction that would bring operations and services to a minimal level of management at Hawk Springs State Recreation Area, Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site, Fort Fetterman State Historic Site and Fort Fred Steele State Historic Site.
- $158,500 reduction to the Wyoming Arts Council, which would prevent it from awarding grants to many nonprofits.
- $344,273 reduction by eliminating three currently vacant positions.
Simpson said the cuts allow the department to continue carrying out its core functions, since no parks or sites would be fully closed.
However, he said they are "difficult" cuts that could affect the number of parks visitors, the amount of money the parks take in from visitor fees and the economic impact of cities and towns that depend on the parks for tourism.
"We are proposing this because we feel we can continue to operate even with these cuts," Simpson said. "But there will be consequences."
The legislative committee voted to recommend the cuts that the department proposed. The plan will now be forwarded to the Joint Appropriations Committee for its review.
However, several legislators argued the cuts are too severe and that the Legislature should either consider not applying the entire 8 percent cut to the department or have the department cut more administrative positions so ground-level services would be not as affected.
Rep. Cathy Connolly, D-Laramie, called the cuts "draconian" and argued that the department should close one park instead of reducing services statewide.
"I'm very concerned about the somewhat across-the-board cuts to state parks," she said. "The amount of money, the loss of (seasonal workers), and the reductions in operations and maintenance budgets are really going to be detrimental to our state parks."
However, Connolly's proposal to close Hot Springs State Park as a replacement for other cuts was rejected by the rest of the committee.
Rep. Del McOmie, R-Lander, who co-chairs the committee, added he too is concerned that the cuts would result in fewer people paying to use the parks, which could create more budget problems for the department.
"The more we staff these places and the better we make them, the more the public will use them," he said. "So it's a bit of a Catch-22."
Sen. Bruce Burns, R-Sheridan, the other co-chairman, said there will still be many opportunities for legislators to adjust the proposal if the 8 percent budget cuts are need.
He said lawmakers can individually lobby the Joint Appropriations Committee to make changes or wait for the 2013 legislative session to make amendments to the proposal if it makes it into the budget bill.
What's next?
The Wyoming Legislature's Joint Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Interim Committee's recommendations will be forwarded to the Joint Appropriations Committee. The JAC and Gov. Mead will present budget plans in advance of the 2013 legislative session to determine if cuts need to be applied for the upcoming supplemental budget.

The third edition of "Bayesian Methods for Data Analysis" has been updated to provide a more accessible introduction to the foundations of Bayesian analysis along with a stronger focus on applications, including case studies in biostatistics, epidemiology, and genetics.
This edition features a new chapter on Bayesian design that presents Bayesian clinical trials and special topics such as missing data and causality. With an emphasis on computation, there is also expanded coverage of WinBUGS, R, and BRugs. The book also contains additional exercises and solutions for courses on Bayesian data analysis and to assist in self-study for undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in statistics and biostatistics.
Approaches for statistical inference. The Bayes approach. Bayesian computation. Model criticism and selection. The empirical Bayes approach. Bayesian design. Special methods and models. Biostatistical methods. Case studies. Appendices.
! this book will provide considerable value-added to one's library of Bayesian books. ! In the third edition, the authors directly integrate WinBUGS and R routines into their presentation of Bayesian methods and provide some new material along the way, in particular, an excellent discussion of Bayesian design. ! an excellent addition to the growing body of books on Bayesian analysis and is a must read for serious students of Bayesian statistics. --Psychometrika, Vol. 75, No. 2, June 2010 ! the third edition has more of a Bayesian flavor with comprehensive coverage of computational Bayesian statistics, including new additions of BUGS and R code throughout the book and reorganization or expansion of several chapters. ! I am glad to see that the software code and examples have also been made available on the website http://www.biostat.umn.edu/#brad/dataCL3.html so that users can truly enjoy easy access and convenience in reproducing the computations in the book. In summary, I think this is a very worthy edition and I highly recommend it as a textbook, and for people who deal with biostatistics problems regularly as a good introduction into the literature. Libraries which have the second edition are encouraged to buy this edition as well. --Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 37, No. 4, April 2010 ! the book contains some useful advice for practitioners. All the essential topics are covered ! Throughout the text one can find good practical advice on various implementation issues, and there is a whole chapter dedicated to case-studies. The chapter on Bayesian design provides very good coverage of some clinical trial design ideas that are receiving a considerable amount of interest in the pharmaceutical industry currently. This book, by two very experienced and knowledgeable Bayesians, is a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the practical application of Bayesian methods. ! --Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, Vol. 172, October 2009 ! A strength of this book is the numerous detailed examples that accompany the material in the text. ! This is a nice text and would be appropriate as a reference or teaching aid for a graduate-level course in applied Bayesian statistics. The emphasis on biomedical applications makes it a valuable resource for research in biostatistics. ! --Statistics in Medicine, 2009 I like this book a lot. It's not the book that I would've written, and that's a good thing. Buying Carlin and Louis along with our book will give you two perspectives on applied Bayesian statistics as it is practiced in the 21st century. ! I do think their book is a great complement to ours, with a slightly different perspective, strong coverage of the theoretical issues of point and interval estimation, and a bunch of compelling biomedical examples. --Andrew Gelman, Columbia University, Amazon.com, 2008 with this reorganization of chapters in the third edition, I believe that the authors have made their material more accessible to an applied audience, and I would now seriously consider this book for my class. --James H. Albert, Bowling Green State University, Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2009, Vol. 104, No. 486 Praise for the Previous Editions ! particularly recommend the book to practicing biometricians who want to explore the potential for using Bayesian methods in their own work. --Biometrics, Vol. 57, No. 3, September 2001 ! an important and timely addition to applied statistics ! the writing is excellent, and the authors are able to present an amazing amount of material cogently in [a] smaller book ! the reader reaps the benefits of being in the hands of a true master ! --Journal of American Statistical Association The writing is excellent and the worked examples are also excellent for understanding the methods. In summary, I recommend [it] for advanced graduate students and all research workers. --Olaf Berke, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, January 2001

I am reprinting below my opinion piece in today's Morning Call, which can be found at http://www.mcall.com/opinion/yourview/
Our Two-Track "Marriage" System
Kim Davis, the County Clerk in Morehead, Kentucky, had been in jail for contempt of court, for refusing to comply with an order to issue marriage licenses to all " eligible" couples, including those of the same sex. She claims that she is upholding her religious beliefs, because only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized by God.
Some may admire her stubbornness and others decry it, but the reality is that Ms. Davis is caught in a category mistake, one we have been stumbling over for a long time. There are two words spelled m-a-r-r-i-a-g-e in this country and these words describe sharply different things. When the state, in the person of Ms. Davis, issues a marriage license, it is acknowledging a secular contract which carries a host of secular privileges and responsibilities.
A civil "marriage" license and a religious "marriage" ceremony are two entirely different things. In fact, it would have been far better had the state not gotten into the "marriage" business in the first place. "Marriage" has so much religious and cultural baggage, that the state has no business presiding over it. The politicians who begged, in the political struggles around same-sex marriage, "Just don't call it marriage," were on the right track. What we really have, if we think about it clearly, is a system of government licensed civil unions, for gays and straights alike.
For some couples, this is enough. For others, the secular license takes a back seat to a religious ceremony, with different meanings depending on the relevant religion. For Catholics, marriage is a sacrament that can be undone only by death. For Jews and Muslims, it is a religious contract. For Mormons, it lasts beyond the grave and through eternity. The United States is fortunate to be host to hundreds of different religions and denominations, with many different understandings of marriage.
By the same token, the requirements for marriage differ sharply between the civil and religious realms. For the state, one must be of age and not currently married to someone else. The state has no interest in one's religious status, one's marital history, one's plans for procreation and childrearing. By contrast, Roman Catholics require that neither of the parties had a previous marriage that ended in divorce; many rabbis refuse to preside over marriages in which both members are not Jewish; Mormons have very specific criteria for who can get married in the Temple; the list goes on. In fact, following Kim Davis's logic, a Catholic clerk could have refused Davis a license in all but the first of her four marriages, since her first three ended in divorce.
I respect Ms. Davis's insistence that her form of Christianity does not recognize same-sex unions. It would be outrageous, a true blow against religious liberty, if the state were to coerce Ms. Davis's church to preside over such a union. But that is not what is at stake here. The "marriage" license Ms Davis is required to issue in her capacity as a public servant is a purely secular document with a purely secular meaning. Too bad we can't start over again and call it something different.

Red Bull New York announced today that it has signed Costa Rican defender Roy Miller. Miller will be added to the team's Senior Roster after he gets P-1 visa approval, passes a physical and the club receives receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
"I have followed Roy for a few years and I am confident that he will be able to adjust well to Major League Soccer," said Red Bull New York General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler.
Miller, 25, who was acquired from Norwegian Premier League club, Rosenborg, was most recently on loan with Swedish Allsvenskan (First Division) club, Orgryte, since July 28, 2009. With Orgryte, Miller played 11 games. In one season with Rosenborg, Miller featured in 14 matches.
Miller started his career at Costa Rican club, Cartagines, in 2001 before moving onto Norway's Bodo/Glimt in 2005, where he scored six goals in 45 games. The 6-2 defender earned 12 caps for the senior Costa Rica National Team and competed in the qualification rounds for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship.

WESLACO � Farmers in Hidalgo, Cameron and Willacy counties are encouraged to take part in a free soil testing program to help the environment and their bottom lines, according to officials with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
"Our soil testing program has been very successful for many years now in helping growers know exactly how much residual fertilizer is already in the ground," said Donnie Valdez, a longtime grower in the Weslaco area and an AgriLife Extension specialist.
"By knowing how much fertilizer is in the soil, many growers have been able to cut down on the fertilizer they apply, which can amount to a huge cost savings, especially with rising fertilizer prices," he said.
The program started in October and will extend through the spring, Valdez said.
"Producers can obtain a soil sampling kit from their AgriLife Extension county office and return their samples for shipping to the Texas A&M Soil Testing Laboratory in College Station. The analysis is free and results are mailed directly to the grower," he said.
The soil analysis takes the guesswork out of nutrient management, according to Brad Cowan, an AgriLife Extension agent in Hidalgo County.
"The results of the soil test will tell a grower exactly what nutrients are in the soil so they can pay only for the nutrients needed to meet their crop yield goals," he said.
Improper rates, timing or application of fertilizer nutrients can actually reduce crop yields and impair water quality via runoff, Cowan said.
"It just makes good sense to know the nutrient makeup of your soil before you add more nutrients," he said.
Proper nutrient amounts and placement aid in the reduction of nonpoint source pollution into the Arroyo Colorado, an important waterway in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Valdez said.
"The Arroyo is critical to drainage in the Valley," he said. "Its watershed covers portions of Hidalgo, Cameron and Willacy counties, home to more than 1million people, according to census reports."
The free soil testing campaign is made possible by funding from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board, and administered through the Texas Water Resources Institute and AgriLife Extension.
For more information about the Arroyo Colorado watershed, visit www.arroyocolorado.org.
For more information about the soil testing program, contact the AgriLife Extension county office in Hidalgo, Cameron or Willacy counties.


text: Susan, A really easy, tasty and not too weird thing to make is beans and rice. Cook whatever quantity of brown rice that you need. Rinse and drain cans of beans (unless you have time to cook dry beans, but it sounds like you're pressed for time). I usually use a combination of dark and light kidney beans or dark kidney and small red (or roman) beans ... about 25 percent beans and 75 percent rice. Mix in as much salsa as you need to make it moist and flavorful. This is really tasty hot or cold. Another nice serving suggestion (if you want to make it more elegant and find a really good deal on tomatoes) is to chill it, scoop out the insides of a bunch of tomatoes (put the pulp and juice into the rice dish) and fill the tomatoes with the beans & rice. It's tasty and looks like you spent a ton of time making it. You can also add cooked corn (especially if you can find some good fresh sweet corn) or serve with a corn relish on the side. Yummy!
