Around 40% of farmers don't expect to purchase machinery this year.
Are you planning to add some new or new-to-you iron to your farm operation in the next few months?
In an early January Farm Journal Pulse, more than 1,500 farmers and ranchers answered the question: How many pieces of farm machinery do you expect to purchase this year?
Nearly 40% of the respondents reported they would purchase no farm machinery in 2014. A quarter of the respondents plan to add one piece of machinery, while 20% expect to add two. Only 4% plan to add 5 pieces of machinery or more.
Here are the full results:
- 1: 25%
- 2: 20%
- 3: 9%
- 4: 3%
- 5 or more: 4%
- None: 39%
Machinery Sale Slump?
Greg Peterson, who tracks the equipment market and is Farm Journal Media's used equipment expert, is not surprised by these results. "I've been hearing more negativity from farmers for a while now," he says.
Why are farmers less eager to purchase machinery this year? Peterson says it is a combination of factors. He says the realization of softer commodity prices is playing a big part.
"Also, the changes to the tax law, specifically Section 179, are affecting purchases," he says. Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Service tax code allows for an immediate income write-off for any business asset purchase (new or used) made during that calendar year.
"It was at all-time high of $500,000 in 2013, but it is set at only $25,000 for 2014," he says. "Most expect Washington to adjust the level upwards, but no one knows for sure." This uncertainty is keeping many farmers from big-time machinery purchases, Peterson thinks.
Finally, Peterson says most farms have bought a lot of new and used equipment in the past five years. "That makes it easier to adopt a more defensive position regarding future purchases," he says.

Google recently modified how they show results and in doing so virtually crippled at least one popular "rank checking software" package. As "JohnMu" pointed out, Google has always been clear about using these kinds of tools. In fact for as long as I can remember, Google Webmaster Guidelines has clearly stated:
"Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service."
Bottom line, automated queries require resources without any potential for generating revenue. It has been said that Google's "ultimate selection criterion is cost per query, expressed as the sum of capital expense (with depreciation) and operating costs (host-ing, system administration, and repairs) divided by performance."
During Q4 2007, Google reported capital expenses of $678 million with operating costs of $1.43 billion. According to ComScore 17.6 billion "core searches" were conducted by Google during the same period. Using Google's formula and financial data along with ComScore's estimates, it appears as though Google's average cost per "core search query" was nearly $.12 during Q4 2007. Again, this is a rough estimate and a rounded total but, personally I was a little surprised by the number.
If 1 million sites run ranking reports on 100 keywords 12 times per year at $.12 per "core search query", it costs Google $144,000,000. Over a ten year period, that's more than a billion dollars. Given this data, it's easy to see why Google uses "algorithms and different techniques to block excessive automated queries and scraping, especially when someone is hitting Google quite hard." Matt Cutts suggests, contacting Google's Business Development Team about permission on sending automated queries to Google.
Now, I fully understand the importance of ranking reports when it comes to SEO clients. That said, there are folks out there abusing the system, running ranking reports on thousands of keywords daily.

Jeep Liberty Power Windows
kregis1 Posts: 1My service advisor gave me the # to Jeep/Chrysler (1-800-763-8422) and I was assigned a case manager. The case manager was going to make me pay for the repair up front and they were going to reimburse me if it was the same issue (as in previous repairs). I argued with the case manager and they finally agreed to fix it with no money out of my pocket. I already had the drivers side rear window fixed 5 times and the rear passenger window fixed 4 times (2006 jeep liberty) and I wasn't about to pay for it again (luckily a few of those times- the repair was still under warranty).0
sherryl2 Posts: 1I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty, 2 weeks ago had the rear passenger side window repaired for the 2nd time, then this week had the rear driver's side repaired for the THIRD time! The window on drivers side has been repaired once. the only window that hasn't had an issue "yet" is the front passenger window. I'm wondering now if they are fixing without replacing parts as much as this has happened to me. I received an "extended" warantee to 7 years, but it's such a hassle to keep taking it in not to mention, locking my car against theft is a joke! so frustrated! thank you for this post..my front drivers window is making noise again, so will make a call to the number posted here to see if I can get this fixed permanently.0
j1965mustang Posts: 2My rear passenger window fell for the 3rd time. The rear driver side window broke once. Jeep did give me my money back for the first 3 repairs, but want me to pay a $50 "deductible" for todays repair. This is crazy!!! Oh.........but they think they have it "fixed" now.0
Why did Jeep give you money back for the first 3 repairs? Is there a recall? I am asking because my driver window will not roll up and I noticed that this is a very common problem with jeep.0
denham Posts: 76Purchased a used 06 Jeep Liberty 66.415 miles Oct.10 and this year the left rear window dropped down and found the part that lifts the window defective or bad design.
I Wrote Chrysler and received a letter back unsigned with the name Stephanie that they had reviewed and concur with their previous decision (something of what I do not know).
The truth is that Jeep Liberty has a bad window design and a window may drop down at anytime
and they know this from all the reports received!
I say before buying a Jeep Liberty do your home work, this window problem is a big and cost problem.0
Thanks Jeep O6!0
looseylucy Posts: 1I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty Renegade with 107,000 miles and have had NO problems. Now my passenger side window needs the regulator replaced because after rolling it down, it didn't want to come back up. After getting 3 different price quotes for $375, $265, and $220 I did some research online and found I can buy the part from several retailers including Napa and O'Reillys with a lifetime warranty. There are a ton of videos and websites that walk you through installing the regulator that can be used. This is the first time this has happened to me and I'm hoping the last. But if I'm unfortunate enough to have this be a consistent thing as all of you are saying, then I guess my boyfriend will become a pro at installing a window regulator. Thankfully I have someone that can do it for me because I refuse to bring it to any Jeep delearship where I will be overcharged.0
actmiller Posts: 2I repaired my window regulators myself using a 69 cent cotter pin. Used the same concept on a 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited and on my 2003 jeep liberty sport. They are different but using the cotter pin to solve the problem results in the problem being resolved with a "life time warrenty", HA!0
how is that, please???0
jeepdriver4 Posts: 1We have an 02 Liberty and the PW on the driver's side is irregular. This only seems to happen when it rains or gets moisture in the air. My spouse went to the store and opened the window, when we tried to put it up the window won't go up. The other three windows seem to be fine, it seems to just be the driver's door. Any suggestions?????0
charlieg47 Posts: 1I also have an 06 Jeep Liberty and I am having the same problems. I live in middle Tn. We don,t have heat like u do.0
jeepfannomore Posts: 1Have an '07 Jeep Liberty. Aside from the recalls, we've had the regulator go out in the back and recently the driver's window regulator went out. Took it to an independent auto body to get rust (yes rust because of poor door patent) fixed and the regulator fixed. The regulator with the labor cost $256 from the Independent and Chrysler won't reimburse because they said I had the work done by an independent. The next phone call to Chrysler and I get new excuses why they can't reimburse. That is, they wouldn't have paid for the regulator anyway. I will NEVER purchase from Chrysler again. EVER. I'll go foreign!!!!!!0
You need to write a letter & enclose a copy of your bill for the repair. They sent out a letter about 2 years ago to Jepp Liberty 2007 owners stating that the window regulators will be covered for 7 years (up until 2014). I think it also said in the letter that if you had it repaired by a shop other than Jeep, to submit a copy of the bill for reimbursement. The poeple you spoke to probably don't know what they are talking about. I would write a letter, also refer to the letter they sent out about it being covered & tell them what happened when you called. I would also send it with some type of tracking. I just found the letter online.
Chrysler Extends Jeep Liberty Window Warranty
In late 2010, Chrysler sent out this notice to 2006-2007 Jeep Liberty owners:
"This letter is to inform you that the warranty period has been extended for Window Lift Plate repairs on your Chrysler Group LLC Jeep Liberty to 7 years from the vehicle's original in service date with no mileage limitation. This extended warranty coverage applies to Jeep Liberty model years 2006-2007.
We are extending the warranty period for Window Lift Plate repairs because some vehicles have experienced repeat concerns with window components. If your vehicle is operating properly, there is nothing you are required to do. If you are experiencing the conditions as described in this warranty extension within 7 years from the vehicle's in service date, simplycontact your dealer to have the repairs performed. Your dealer will inspect the window regulators for proper operation and repair if necessary.
If you have already experienced this window regulator concern and have paid to have it repaired, you may be eligible to receive a reimbursement. You may complete the enclosed Customer Reimbursement Claim Form and send your original receipts, invoices, and/or repair order to the following address for reimbursement. Your claim will be acted upon within 60 days of receipt:
Chrysler Customer Assistance Center
P. O. Box 21-8007
Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8007
If you have questions or need any assistance, please contact your dealer or the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center between the hours of 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, EST. They can be reached at 1-877-426-5337.
Please keep this letter with your vehicle's other warranty information for future reference if neccessary. The warranty extension applies to the above components only, the other terms of your warranty remain the same.
Chrysler is taking this action to demonstrate its commitment to your continued satisfaction0
crjeep Posts: 3I had originally posted on this board about my window issues on 6/17/10. That was the third time that a window failed and at the time I was appreciative that Chrysler made sure my windows were repaired with no charge and they were responsive to my issues. Wellll.....since then, I have had 3 more window failures, most recently today as we were driving home from a nice family New Year's Brunch. It was freezing out and my poor daughter spent the whole ride home shivering in the back seat. The last time this happened in July, 2012, the front passenger window fell as we were leaving to go on vacation and we spent the vacation driving around with a duct taped window. My left rear window has failed 3 times, right rear twice and the front passenger once. What is frustrating is that windows that have been fixed continue to fail...so it seems that Chrysler still can't figure out how to permanently fix this problem. To make matters worse, the door with the failed window is now stuck and won't open. I will be calling Chrysler as I usually do when this happens and going back to the Jeep dealer to get this fixed at no charge once again. I have been a faithful Jeep owner since 1994 but I am officially done. We are going to the Honda dealer this week. I am DONE!!!0
I knew I screwed up when I saw the Mopar star on the side glass. suffered thousands of dollars in repairs. Traded 05 lioberty CRD 4X4 limited for 2012 Toyota tacoma, 4 door, 4X4, long bed. Lost $7,400 in trade but Sooooooo happy!0
I contacted Jeep this morning because I came across this discussion forum. I have had three of my four windows fall off the track and not be able to roll up. I have had the regulators fixed each time and put in almost $600. I asked about the recall for the windows and was told that since I did the work at a Body Shop and not at a Jeep or Chrysler dealership, I can't be reimbursed. When I asked about this window recall, she informed me that there was another recall issued in March 2012 for another issue that I was not aware of so just a heads up to everyone out there! I never received information about a recall in March 2012.0
The woman also said that the Window Warranty is for the Window Lift Plate, not the regulator.0
Look back at message #336. In the letter they sent out it clearly states that if you had it repaired you may be entiled to reimbursement. Don't settle for what they tell you on the phone. Write a letter & send it with tracking. Also, if you don't get reimbursed, take them to small claims court. You can file yourself. Don't let them get away with it.0
When I contacted my local Jeep dealership today to make an appointment for the current recall (which is a rear suspension recall), I asked them about it. She said they have certain guidelines and we'd look at it on Friday when I go in. Thanks for the advice!0
I just wanted to thank everyone for the info on the Jeep Liberty's window problems. I had another window go out and thought I was out of luck because my warranty is expired. I just wonder what Jeep is going to do after 2014 when they still keep breaking? I had a 1994 Eagle Talon and the windows were great, but this problem has been such a pain. With this many people experiencing problems they should have figure it out and done a recall!0
I haven't posted in this thread for awhile but I have a 2007 Liberty. I've had all my windows fixed numerous times because they fell out of their track. When it recently fell again, I resorted to duct tape until I had time to get it in. This time I expected a pretty sizable bill since the car is no longer under warranty.
As it turns out, the windows now have a lifetime warranty on them - as explained by my local Jeep dealership as well a service that called me last week regarding a rear suspension recall.
The new lifetime warranty on them is news to me and may be news to some of you. While it isn't a permanent fix and it doesn't thrill me at all, at least they have sucked it up and put a lifetime warranty on them. It doesn't make the issue better and it sucks when they go out but at least they aren't charging for the fix.
That being said, I highly recommend keeping scissors and duct tape in the car just in case - as well as a wire hanger to pull the window up in order to tape it if it falls all the way into the door. Duct tape will hold it.0
dlafoot1 Posts: 9Thanks so much for the info. Fortunately I haven't had the problem for over a year, but just knowing it can be fixed without major money out of my pocket is great. Yes I will equip my 2003 Liberty with duct tape, etc. Again, thank you for the update.0
I got my window fixed yesterday, and the jeep dealer said it was only under warrant for the next 6 months. That is not what I read on the internet and I think they lie. Mine is a 2006 Jeep Liberty, so I wonder if the warrant is different.0
A 2006 should be covered the same as a 2007 as I understand it. The biggest problem came from the 06-07 models. I'd call another dealership to see what they say if I were you.
I will note they did not tell me about the warranty on the phone. For whatever reason, it wasn't until I took it in (because of the suspension) that they told me about the warranty on the windows. They ended up fixing both the same day.
The one thing I don't have, and may try to get, is the warranty in writing. I'd dearly like a copy to hopefully save myself trouble in the future if I go to a different dealership. Too many people have had problems in this thread for me to believe all dealerships are created equal - or honest.0
Thanks for the info. I if I get it in writing I will post it. I dont trust the Jeep dealer that I go to at all! I am really glad I found this edmunds.com. I told the Jeep dealer that there was a warranty first they did not offer up the information. The guy working there said yes it is under warranty (for 6 more months) if it is the "lift plate". I told him it is the same problem as normal so it was under warranty.0
Wow - Thank you for posting about the extended warranty! I just called my Jeep dealer in Fort Myers, FL. - the man said to bring it in any time & they will fix it on the spot - said it takes a couple hours :):) I am SO tired of taping both my back windows & it's been almost a year!
thank you!0
ksea Posts: 2I just got off the phone with them regarding one of my windows that just went out last month. They told me because of the age of my vehicle, they won't consider helping with the repair. The Jeep has on 64K miles on it. I am seeing red at the moment. Will pick up some duct tape on the way home
So, the lifetime warranty only covers specific years?0
I'm not sure what years the warranty covers beyond 06-07 models. But as I said to someone else, I'd call another dealership and talk to them. Despite the warranty, some places seem to fix them without a problem while others whistle Dixie and swear they have no idea what you're talking about.0
I read, probably here that the warranty was 06 and 07, but I would try another dealer if you have one. If not try and contact Jeep. Someone should be able to authorize the free repair! I would hope!0
So I thought I was good to go - both back windows - second time. Called the Jeep dealer yesterday after being told by a service dept tech to "bring it in" - wanted to make an appointment for today - Nope. The lady asked me the vin number & said sorry, no. She said it covers late 2006 & 2007 models & mine is an early 2006.
I will be on the phone today, jumping up & down - it's the same damn problem, how can they pick & choose??????0

Less Word Wednesday #8 - Human Perspective
Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not. - O'Keeffe
Any thought? (Please ignore the full picture below!)
Well, as your peripheral vision may already looks for the larger version of the picture below, this is actually a flower in a close up shot. And thanks for my alteration of the picture's hue and saturation, some MAY think this is a female sexual production organ; vagina. Do you?
Representational painting, such as landscapes, people and furniture, is normally viewed at face value. A flower is just a flower; a chair is just a chair. But the manner in which an artist uses shapes can convey more than the literal content of the painting.
Once you grasp how an artist plays with shapes to convey another layer of meaning, it can open up a universe of deeper insight and, sometimes, powerfully erotic subtexts. You may never see art again in the same way.
So I said to myself-I'll paint what I see-what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking the time to look at it-I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers... - O'Keeffe
About Georgia Totto O'Keeffe:
I hate flowers. I only paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. - O'Keeffe
One of the most respected and widely regarded American artists of the of last century, O'keefe was a modernist painter who cannot be tied down to that period - her work seems as timeless, vibrant and inspiring as it was fifty years ago.

Space Shuttle Launch Visible Along U.S. East Coast main content.
by Joe Rao on
People in the eastern United States will get a great opportunity, weather permitting, to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour launched into orbit Friday evening, November 14.
The Shuttle flight (STS-126) will be the 27th to rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station (ISS) and the glow of its engines will be visible along much of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
To reach the ISS, Endeavour must be launched when Earth's rotation carries the launch pad into the plane of the ISS's orbit. For mission STS-126, on November 14 that will happen at 7:55:34 p.m. EST, resulting in NASA's fourth Shuttle flight of 2008 and the second nighttime launch this year. This launch will bring the Shuttle's path nearly parallel to the U.S. East Coast.
For most locations, Endeavour will be visible by virtue of the light emanating from its three main engines. It should appear as a very bright, pulsating, fast-moving star, shining with a yellowish-orange glow.
Based on previous night missions, the brightness should be at least equal to magnitude -2; about as bright as the planet Jupiter, which is currently shining in the southwestern evening sky. Observers who train binoculars on the Shuttle should be able to see it resemble a tiny V-shaped contrail.
In the Southeast United States, depending on a viewer's distance from Cape Canaveral, Discovery will become visible anywhere from a few seconds to 2 minutes after it leaves Pad 39-A. The brilliant light emitted by the two solid rocket boosters will be visible for the first 2 minutes and 4 seconds of the launch out to a radius of some 520 statute miles from the Kennedy Space Center.
No matter where you're located, keep in mind that the Shuttle will not get very high above the horizon. In most cases, it will range from roughly 5 to 10 degrees. To get an idea of how high this is, make a fist and hold it out at arm's length. Place the bottom of your fist on the horizon; the top of your fist is 10 degrees
Endeavour will seem to flicker, then abruptly wink-out 8 minutes and 23 seconds after launch as the main engines shut-down and the huge, orange, external tank is jettisoned over the Atlantic at a point about 870 statute miles uprange (to the northeast) of Cape Canaveral and some 430 statute miles southeast of New York City. At that moment, Endeavour will have risen to an altitude of 341,600 feet (64.7 statute miles), while moving at nearly 17,000 mph and should be visible for a radius of about 770 statute miles from the point of Main Engine Cut Off, or MECO.
Should the launch of Endeavour be scrubbed on Friday, November 14, the launch will be rescheduled on a daily basis, but the time of the launch will occur roughly 23 minutes earlier for each day the launch is delayed (launch window times through November 26).
Before hoping to see the Shuttle streak across your local sky, make sure it has left the launch pad! Watch a news outlet such as CNN, MSNBC or FOX to verify that Endeavour has been launched. You can also watch the launch on your computer via streaming video from NASA-TV.
Good Luck!

On the road, most travelers are likely heading somewhere important. Be it to work, home, or in the middle of a road trip, they don't have time to waste.

Negotiation interests are considered to be the motivating factor(s) and underlying reasons behind the 'negotiation position' adopted by a negotiation party. Negotiation interests often entail some combination of economic, security, recognition, and control issues, or the desires, concerns, aims or goals of a negotiating party in a negotiation process.
When negotiating with an organisation, it's important to not focus exclusively on satisfying the interests of the organisation. To achieve maximal buy-in, it's crucial to also focus on satisfying the interests of the department and people at the table. Often stakeholders who are usually not present at the Boots Strapped Chunki Ankle Block Heel wqFFBX8 will also want their interests to be satisfied. It's best to find out the organisation's decision making process to better understand who's interests you need to fulfill.Back to Negotiation Definitions

My little story
Well, to start off my nose piercing is not my first one and it will not be my last. It was June of last year and I was wanting my nose pierced for about six months. As we all know women, tend to change our minds well lets just say, often haha. So after waiting for what I thought was long enough to talk myself out of it, I made my decision, I was getting that night come hell or high water. Being very excited I called my best friend, to come watch my make an ass out of myself by crying, so naturally she came running with a camera in her hand. Good friend HUH? I called my husband at work telling him I was ready for my nose to be pierced, and I think he was just about excited as I was, and he said that he would do it as soon as he got off work. YAY
After an hour of waiting on the hubby, which seemed an eternity. He came home, and started setting up an area for this all to go down at. I must say this my husband is an apprentice, so it was not one of things where we burned a end of a sewing needle, and pray that you do not get an infection, we are all pro. After everything was set up he was ready for me, and then starts the butterflies. He started cleaning my nose, which rubbing alcohol freaking burns your eyes fyi, that's what I get for playing around to much, I suppose. He mark the area where I would be pierced, we both took a look at it and after me making him move it three times, for it only to put back where it was originally. It was time!
Now, I would not say that I am a scaredy cat, but I started getting nervous. It might just be me, but getting pierced by someone you do not know and by a loved one feels different. Every time he would start telling me to take a deep breath in, I would tell him no, We went on like this for about fifteen minutes or so, after all his patience were gone he said fine, "you were not going to do it anyways!" Being a women, and a stubborn one at that, I said yes I am, and told him to get on with it. My friend is laughing her butt off, and snapping pics as she giggles. Finally after yelling you went through the other side of my nose and dealing with the painful transaction. There was little to no bleeding and the way I looked you would have thought he stabbed me a few times, and called me bad names haha, mascara was everywhere! After cleaning up my face and laughing at myself, it hit me my nose was pierced! I was so happy to see it on my face, that I did not even mind that it felt lik
e a huge booger in my nose. which was the highlight of my friends night to pick on me about getting boogers stuck on it. Of course there are some blackmail pictures around here somewhere, but that does not bother me.
For the tricky part, how was I going to not get caught having this in at work. I work for a small medical company by the way. The responsible side of me totally forgot about my job.. go figure. So, coming up with not wearing my contacts anymore and stick to my glasses might help some, thanks goodness it was Friday and I had a few days away from work. Getting nervous all over again, Monday rolls around and I tried to stay invisible and wearing a "do not mess with me" look on my face which work! Unfortunately that only lasted three days. My crazy boss noticed it, and asked about it. I thought that it was the end of my cute new addition, but to my surprise she totally loved it! She said that since she did not notice it until three days later (she is OCD she notices EVERYTHING)no one else should and if they do they can come talk to her! Right on! We (the boss and I) both agreed that I would not put a huge hoop in it. she told me I was good to go.I was so happy I ran out and start ed showing everyone. I got a few "oh cool" and some "why" but over all they seemed to like it. Even though their opinion means nothing to me, it is nice to hear their reactions.
It is fully healed now, I did not have any problems with it at all.I would do it all over again if i had the chance. I have not changed it out yet. I have not really found a nose ring I like.. I have a few more things pierced now, and I did not make a big deal out of them, as I did this one. To this day I still love it and I feel awkward if I do not have it in. It is a part of me and who I am.

When is it time enough?
When is it time enough to say that's it.
I will have it. I will make it. I will do it. I will be it.
When is it time enough to say it's alright to have what I want.
It's probably already too late but it's never too early. Getting started means making the decision and going now. It's not about hedging your bets and feeling out the course before you go. It's about running headfirst at the wall so you can make it all the way up.
Take a vote of confidence from your resident free runners. Sometimes the best way over an obstacle is to bounce around it.
I have had many instances where I've hedged my bets, taken my time, waxed philosophic, and yet never gotten down to the nitty-gritty and really said what I wanted. Really done what I wanted or taken initiative.
Reaction is too late.
Response is too meditated.
Initiative is creativity coupled with action. It is innovation.
It is breaking the pull of static.
Break the pull.
Time expired. Get over it and get it done.
Pick something today that you want to do, want to make, want to be.
Feel a bit like Mike.

crumpets & dryads & along the way
we went to the faery fest in cornwall this weekend ♥
there we met some lovely wandering fae between the raindrops.
dear amy & swan princess natalee from tales from the dryad forest
floating through the field of sheep to search for the folly ♥
we danced wild into the night under the magic trees ♥ women twirled fiery hoolas with serene faces & boys played fiddles, flutes & drums
i learned that the universe inside you is not dark like the night sky
but swirls with a billion starburst rainbows of color and shine ♥
we found scadfulls of books and ancient messages. then yesterday i
started reading: charles g. leland "the gypsies" you can read it *here*
amethyst crystals and lepidolite eggs ♥ all praises to purple lepidolite my new lavender lithium bearing faery godmother. where'd you been?
we searched and searched for the folly but we never found it..
we did however find some dinosaur bones... maybe thats the
point of searching... to find things along the way ♥
all of these photos were taken by the loveliest butteriest crumpet
juliet of dear sweetlings here she is sticking her head in a hole and finding another dimension. thanks for sharing the trip crumpet!! ♥

Ooh, what was the name of the animal book you purchased? I've been trying to remember. Have you ever watched the BBC programme Springwatch? they had a pet raven on there *swoon* my heart swelled.

Cornwall is so beautiful and perfect for a faery gathering. I used to spend many summer holidays in Cornwall with my family. We have a little tin miners cottage near the sea, not far from Zennor! ;-)
It is lovely to see your true faery self with green nails and delicate wings. It's also the right time of year to wear flowers in your hair..
I have now moved to an old farmhouse near Peter Rabbit's family, they live in our garden. I think Beatrix would approve! ;-)
Have a lovely summer Faerie Finder,
Jo. xx

There have been rumors around the Web that Chad Michael Murray is leaving the CW's One Tree Hill for good at the conclusion of the season, much to the chagrin of the show's fans. Last month, fan site OneTreeHillFans.com cited sources who say Murray has not renewed his contract with the drama, and wants to move on for personal and professional reasons.
NEW YORK CITY--The CW is still The CW. Just because there's a shiny new fall season ahead, it doesn't mean that the network will leapfrog any of the competition to become a major player this season. But it does know what its specialty is--attracting young viewers. CW president of entertainment Dawn Ostroff discusses the decisions to not have any comedies in the lineup, and the future of One Tree Hill without its two stars.
The CW network has extended the lives of two of its shows, college detective Veronica Mars and teen drama One Tree Hill. Both shows have been given orders for three more episodes apiece.
Mars has held steady since its third-season premier in October, matching its series-best ratings and retaining much of its Gilmore Girls lead-in. At the TCA in July, show-runner Rob Thomas said he was "acting like man who had been given a full season order."
Hill has seen ratings growth this season, retaining almost 90 percent of its America's Next Top Model lead-in teen audience. The show beat Fox's The O.C. last week in adults 18 to 49, with a 1.6 rating/4 share and has improved 14 percent in the demo compared to last year.
Both Mars and Hill had been on the bubble when ...Read more
One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray is engaged to showmate Kenzie Dalton, People reports today.
Murray, 24, met Dalton, 18, when she played a cheerleader extra on the show, and the two have been dating since December. The couple is denying an unexpected pregnancy being the reason they are tying the knot.
This marks the second time Murray has grown close to a One Tree Hill costar.
Murray and costar Sophia Bush married in April 2005, in a highly publicized ocean-side ceremony. Five months later, the couple seperated amid rumors of infidelity on Murray's part. In February, Bush sought to annul their union on grounds of "fraud."
Now, both appear to have moved on--Murray with Dalton and Bush with Murray-resembling actor Austin Nichols, who appeared in the sci-fi flick Day After Tomorrow.
One Tree Hill is on the WB network, and it is unclear whether the show is ...Read more
They invade your television screen and make your skin crawl--they're characters that you just can't stand. We asked members of the TV.com staff which characters they'd love to see killed off and why. The answers will shock and surprise some of you, while others will nod their head in hateful agreement.
Set in the fictional small town of Tree Hill, NC, this teen-driven drama tells the story of two half brothers, who share a last name and nothing else. Brooding, blue-collar Lucas is a talented street-side basketball player, but his skills are appreciated only by his friends at the river court. Popular, affluent Nathan basks in the hero-worship of the town, as the star of his high school team. And both boys are the son of former college ball player, Dan Scott, whose long ago choice to abandon Lucas and his mother Karen, will haunt him long into his life with wife Deb, and their son Nathan. Until now, Dan has managed to keep his two sons far from each other. But the past and present collide sharply when Tree Hill's basketball coach recruits Lucas for his team, much to the chagrin of Nathan and Daddy Dan. And the siblings natural rivalry only intensifies when they set their sights on the same girl, Peyton Sawyer. The residue of the past lingers far into the future for the residents of Tree Hill, even as a new generation is rising. Tree Hill follows the lives and loves of these two brothers, their friends and their family as they navigate high school, marriage, and finally...adulthood. One Tree Hill theme song: I don't want to be by Gavin DeGraw I don't want to be Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately All I have to do Is think of me and I have peace of mind I'm tired of looking 'round rooms Wondering what I've got to do Or who I'm supposed to be I don't want to be anything other than memoreless

NBA, NBA players' union combine to pledge $1 million to tornado relief
NEW YORK – The NBA and the players' union are combining to donate $1 million to tornado relief efforts in the Oklahoma City area.
The league and the NBPA announced the joint pledge on Tuesday. The money will be going to the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, and other disaster relief efforts after a tornado devastated the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday.
The donation follows $1 million pledges from the Oklahoma City Thunder and star forward Kevin Durant.
Durant says seeing the devastation in his adopted hometown was "tough to watch." But he also believes the community will band together to get through such a difficult time.
The Red Cross is accepting $10 pledges from people who text "REDCROSS" to 90999. People can also donate at the organization's website.

I mainly draw influence from my own experience with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I hope that through my own reflection of my disorder I can allow viewers to experience my work in a way that allows them to also self-reflect. I use mirrors in the majority of my work as not only a gateway to myself and my life, but also as a way for viewers to reflect on their own. The mirrors are mostly obstructed by other elements of the composition. This obstruction forces the viewer to make a decision that will alter their perception of my work. The viewer must choose between focusing their eye on the obstacles that cover the mirrors or looking past them and viewing their reflection.

Why the new study on high-fructose corn syrup and weight gain is flawed
By: Nicci Micco
Friday, March 26, 2010
This week I noticed many news media outlets were reporting that high-fructose corn syrup causes more weight gain than sugar does. The study everyone is referring to is out of Princeton and reported that rats given access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those exposed to table sugar, even when they consumed the same number of calories overall. My first reaction was, "Oh no! Had we gotten it all wrong?" In May 2009, EatingWell did
a comprehensive report on high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
, found in many processed foods, particularly in sweetened beverages. Then, after talking with top-notch nutrition researchers about everything from
whether HFCS makes you hungrier
whether it makes kids hyper
, we concluded the following:
To date, the research suggests that high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar aren't that different: they're both processed sweeteners that add "empty" calories to our diets. Our bodies seem to treat them the same way. At EatingWell, we try to limit sweeteners of any kind in recipes. Whenever possible, we use ingredients that don't contain HFCS.
All of the published research available—and hours of interviews with experts who studied HFCS—led us to this conclusion. But perhaps this Princeton report was turning all that previous research on its head?
If it did turn out that HFCS does, indeed, affect metabolism in ways that causes us to gain weight
, I wanted to let our readers know as soon as possible. To help us interpret the research, I contacted Karen Teff, Ph.D., a physiologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia who has studied the issue extensively. She told us, "This study is poorly designed and poorly controlled and
does not prove or even suggest that HFCS is more likely to lead to obesity than sucrose [table sugar]
Teff offers the following: 1) this study does not provide evidence that HFCS is more likely to lead to obesity than sucrose, and 2) has no applicability to humans. She also emphasizes that one thing we can all take away from this is that "sweetened, caloric beverages should not be part of the daily diet." (Need another reason to quit soda?

Here's why she came to her conclusions:
• The solutions of HFCS and sucrose used in all the studies—there were a few—in the Princeton report provided different levels of calories. (The HFCS, in fact, was lower in calories.)
• In one of the studies, the authors reported that male rats had a higher body weight after being exposed to 12 hours of access to the HFCS plus their typical rat chow compared to 1) standard chow alone, 2) 12 hours of access to sucrose with chow, and 3) 24 hours of access to sucrose with chow. However, they did not report or do the statistics on the
in weight. Thus, this is meaningless and poorly controlled.
• In a second experiment, they compared chow to chow-plus-HFCS for 24 hours and chow-plus-HFCS for 12 hours and found that access to the HFCS increased body weight. So what? Again, meaningless. This is like taking two groups of people, giving them the same diet but allowing one group to drink sweetened soda whenever they liked. Of course, they will gain weight because they are ingesting more calories. These findings have nothing to do with the controversy between sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup.
• Finally, in a third study, they show body weight as a percent of baseline (this is appropriate) and show that rats who had free access to both chow
HFCS gained a tiny bit more weight than chow alone, 12 hours of HFCS or 12 hours of sucrose. They did not compare it to the control of 24 hours of access to sucrose.

The IRS Is More Than Four Times More Popular Than Congress
Remember that old joke regarding Dick Cheney's 18% approval rating, about how there's a higher percentage of dentists who recommend chewing sugary gum than there is of Americans who approve of Dick Cheney? Now let's do a version of that with the 112th and current Congress, with its comical, dumpy rating of 9%.
Sen. Michael Bennet, who is very much a member of this Congress, put together this chart showing that, among other things, there are more Americans who want the United States to become a communist country than there are Americans who approve of the performance of the first branch of government outlined in the Constitution.
Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.

Oklahoma State Wins Independence Bowl
Thursday, December 28th 2006, 3:47 PM CST
SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) _ Oklahoma State tried to give away the Independence Bowl to Alabama. Dantrell Savage and Jason Ricks took it back for the Cowboys. Ricks kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8.9 seconds remaining to give Oklahoma State a 34-31 victory over Alabama on Thursday night.
Savage ran for 112 yards and a touchdown and made the key play on the winning drive. He took a screen pass from Bobby Reid for 26 yards on third-and-9 to the Alabama 15 to put Ricks in prime position.
Alabama tried to ice Ricks with three timeouts, but the sophomore sent the kick through the uprights and he snatched off his helmet and ran to the sidelines with it extended over his head.
The kick saved the Cowboys (7-6) from a fourth-quarter collapse and gave them both a winning record and their first bowl victory since 2002. Oklahoma State blew a 14-point lead, setting up the Crimson Tide for the tying touchdown with a fumbled kickoff return.
Alabama (6-7) was playing in its NCAA-record 54th bowl game and looking for its 31st bowl victory _ another NCAA record _ but for much of the night the Crimson Tide's vaunted postseason history seemed a distant memory. Bama played flat until late in the fourth quarter.
With the Tide trailing 31-17, Javier Arenas returned a punt 86 yards to pull Alabama to within a touchdown with 10:50 left in the game.
Then Grant Jones fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Chris Rogers recovered, giving Alabama a first down on the Oklahoma State 21. Six plays later, left tackle Andra Smith caught a lateral from John Parker Wilson and ran 2 yards to tie the game at 31.
It was a bitter end to a bitter year for the Tide. Playing for the first time since Mike Shula was fired, Bama was unable to dodge its first losing record since 2003, Shula's first season.
Alabama is still without a coach for next season after being turned down by West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez. Defensive coordinator Joe Kines has handled the head coaching duties in the interim.
Oklahoma State _ ranked 16th nationally in total offense _ outgained Alabama 419-276. The Cowboys rushed for 207 yards compared to 108 yards for the Tide.
Reid completed 15 of 29 attempts for 212 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and Keith Toston added 58 yards and two TDs.
John Parker Wilson completed 18 of 33 for 168 yards and a touchdown for Alabama. He was intercepted twice.
The Cowboys scooped up an Alabama fumble on the Tide's 38-yard line to set up the opening score. Savage ran the final yard to cap a 38-yard drive and make it 7-0 Oklahoma State.
Alabama tied it on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Matt Caddell with 3:32 remaining in the first quarter.
Oklahoma State went ahead 14-7 on Toston's 4-yard run. The Cowboys stretched their lead to 17-7 on a 28-yard field goal by Ricks.
Alabama cut the margin to 17-14 on a 1-yard run by fullback Tim Castille. But Bama was unable to stop the Cowboys final drive of the half. Oklahoma State took it 64 yards, capped by a 7-yard run by Toston for a 24-14 lead at the half.
In the third quarter Jamie Christensen kicked a 24 yard field goal to pull Alabama three points closer.
Then Reid hit Adarius Bowman for a 10-yard score to give Oklahoma State a 14 point lead at 31-17.

I did some basic cleaning of the code, turned it into a Python package, and pushed it to Launchpad. I also added some minor changes, such as introducing a
define function to define new tables instead of automatically creating one when an insert was executed. Automatically constructing a table from values seems neat, but in reality it is quite difficult to ensure that it has the right types for the application. Here is a small code example demonstrating how to use the
define function together with some other operations.
import mysql.api.simple as api server = api.Server(host="example.com") server.test_api.tbl.define( { 'name': 'more', 'type': int }, { 'name': 'magic', 'type': str }, ) items = [ {'more': 3, 'magic': 'just a test'}, {'more': 3, 'magic': 'just another test'}, {'more': 4, 'magic': 'quadrant'}, {'more': 5, 'magic': 'even more magic'}, ] for item in items: server.test_api.tbl.insert(item)The table is defined by providing a dictionary for each row that you want in the table. The two most important fields in the dictionary is name and type. The name field is used to supply a name for the field, and the type field is used to provide a type of the column. The type is denoted using a basic Python type constructor, which then maps internally to a SQL type. So, for example,
int map to the SQL
INT type, and
bool map to the SQL type
BIT(1). This choice of deciding to use Python types are simply because it is more natural for a Python programmer to define the tables from the data that the programmer want to store in the database. I this case, I would be less concerned with how the types are mapped, just assuming that it is mapped in a way that works. It is currently not possible to register your own mappings, but that is easy to add.So, why provide the type object and not just a string with the type name? The idea I had here is that since Python has introspection (it is a dynamic language after all), it would be possible to add code that read the provided type objects and do things with them, such as figuring out what fields there are in the type. It's not that I plan to implement this, but even though this is intended to be a simple database interface, there is no reason to tie ones hands from start, so this simple approach will provide some flexibility if needed in the future.
LinksSome additional links that you might find useful:
- Connector/Python
- You need to have Connector/Python installed to be able to use this package.
- Sequalize
- This is a JavaScript library that provide a similar interface to a database. It claims to be an ORM layer, but is not really. It is more similar to what I have written above.
- Roland's MQL to SQL and Presentation on SlideShare is also some inspiration for alternatives.

News 12 at 6'oclock / Monday, Feb. 4, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- He's only had his badge for a month but already the new Richmond County sheriff wants a pay raise. Sheriff Richard Roundtree just might get it, and he's not the only one.
City leaders met behind closed doors to talk money. City Administrator Fred Russell told News 12 that Roundtree requested a review of his salary.
"I think we need to look at salaries as a whole. So this is something I'm fine discussing," said Mayor Deke Copenhaver.
Well why was it done behind closed doors? Recently city leaders talked about giving a pay increase to Roundtree and Solicitor General Kelly McIntyre. Sources say it'll be based on their degree and certification level.
"If it's justified and based on qualifications. If it meets the statewide medium range income, that's OK with me," Copenhaver said.
Eleven-year Sheriff Ronnie Strength left office making just under $127,000. Roundtree makes just under $110,000.
Former Solicitor General Chuck Evans left office making $97,000. His replacement, McIntyre, makes $97,000 and 2 cents.
"It's a personnel issue, so that's about all I'm going to comment on that," Copenhaver said.
David Hudson has been practicing law for more than 40 years and works at Hull and Barrett Attorneys.
"They should be looking for ways to keep the meetings open instead of trying to find language that justifies going into closed session," Hudson said.
The Georgia Open Meetings Act says city leaders can close meetings when discussing employment, hiring, evaluation and compensation.
"With the strict language of the exemption, they can claim they met that," Hudson said.

Sheppard writes new version of Bela Lugosi film
PARKERSBURG, WV - A second movie about zombies that is being filmed in the area held an open casting call Saturday at the Dils Center.
The local interest does not mean Parkersburg has become a mecca for zombie films, said director Arthur Leo Collins of the movie "White Zombie." Just last month, numerous residents participated in the local filming of a movie about professional wrestlers battling zombies.
It's a combination of the popularity of the zombie genre and advances in cinematic technology that makes it easy to makes films anywhere at a low cost, said Collins, who owns Ragnbone Productions of Youngstown.
"For the first time in film history anybody, anywhere can make a movie," Collins said. "It's the equipment, the technology has allowed us to shoot it on cards and edit on our home computers."
Digital technology has cut out the biggest cost, film processing, Collins said. Processing was time-consuming as well, he said.
"In 1969, Easy Rider was a $250,000 film and that was considered independent," he said. "We're making them for a few grand," he said.
The original "White Zombie" was made in 1932 and is about a young woman's transformation into a zombie at the hands of an evil voodoo master. It is considered the first feature length zombie film and starred Bela Lugosi.
The version to be made here is not exactly a remake, Collins said.
"It's more of a reimagining," he said. "It is not a shot-for-shot remake, there are many changes. Character names are different, scenes are in a different order."
The film will be set in what he called a surreal, alternate reality environment, Collins said.
A casting call Saturday at the Dils Center brought in more than 100 auditioners for "White Zombie," Collins said. Three-quarters of the cast and crew will be local with some cast and crew from Youngstown, Collins said.
This will be his first directorial effort.
Casting and locations have not been decided and shooting is to begin May 18 for 16 days, wrapping up on June 2. A release date has not been set, but he hopes the movie will be released in 2014.
Some scenes will be shot on Blennerhassett Island and other locations in Parkersburg and Marietta, Collins said.
"A lot of shooting will be at night," he said. "It will be a lot of nights and long days."
Parkersburg's Susan Sheppard of Sacred Way Arts wrote the screenplay for the production.
"We've added new characters and we've made it more true to what voodoo is, trying to take the zombies back to what they were before 'The Walking Dead' and 'Night of the Living Dead' which is not what zombies are really supposed to be," Sheppard said.
Initially, the script was written as a musical play, Sheppard said.
"I thought it would be a great musical so I wrote it as a play," she said. "I had the idea 10 years ago and wrote it a year ago. I wrote with my daughter, Scarlet, in mind. She will be the 'White Zombie.'"
The film will not be set in Haiti, but in a post-apocalypse world, Sheppard said.
"There will be a small island and remnants of the voodoo beliefs have filtered down to the general public," she said. "That's how we will get around filming in Haiti."
The film will not be as gory as more recent films, Sheppard said.
"The difference between modern zombies and what they are or were in Haiti is the fear was not that a zombie was going to eat your brain or kill you," she said. "The fear in Haiti was being made into a zombie and you would fall under a spell of black magic, falling into such a deep coma you would be buried alive, dug up and become slaves."
Killer zombies were invented in "The Night of the Living Dead," Sheppard said.
"They were actually pretty boring, they walked around like sleepwalkers," she said. "We are trying to stay true to the original story."

Nobel Peace Prize winner, Medal of Honor recipient, New York City police commissioner, America's youngest president, Mount Rushmore visage, Dakota cowboy, trust-buster -- Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, Jr., packed so much living into his 60 years on earth that the phrase "larger than life" sometimes seems to have been coined expressly for him.
But it's as the man who inspired a fluffy bedtime toy that Roosevelt left one of his most enduring legacies. On a hunting trip in 1902 (so the story goes) the young president refused to shoot a black bear -- a refusal somewhat at odds with the man's well-earned reputation as a hunter who killed countless birds and beasts, without compunction, for decades. At any rate, a toymaker in New York learned of T.R.'s merciful moment and, inspired, created a toy bear -- a "teddy bear." (Roosevelt, incidentally, always despised the name Teddy.) The bear was an immediate hit, and for the past century has remained one of the tried and true emblems of childhood.
In December 1970, LIFE featured a number of adults who, long years after their childhoods had ended, still retained a fondness for the fluffy companions of their youth. The resulting photos by Nina Leen are somehow sweet and, at the same time, just a little bit unsettling.
Many children have a brief, passionate attachment to a teddy bear and then move on to other toys [LIFE wrote]. But to a faithful fraternity of adults, the bear they had in childhood has become a lifelong companion. These arctophiles (friends of the bear) have clung to their bears through fire and flood, the passage of years, the coming of children and grandchildren. The bears and their owners have endured each other for decades, and though all lead normal active lives, none are too busy to pass the time of day with their oldest friends.
Elderly bears are characterized by those who live with them as "placid," "serene" and "radiating contentment." While all teddy bears are steadfast and loyal, the same cannot be said for all their owners. Christopher Robin, whose bear was the inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh, simply discarded him like an old rocking horse. Pooh, who is now 50, lives far from home in a glass case in an American publishing house.
NOTE: Since 1987, the original, well-worn, beloved Pooh and four of his friends -- Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger and Kanga -- have resided at The New York Public Library at 42nd and Fifth in Manhattan. Visitors to the library, young and old, can see Pooh and his friends year-round in their grand home.

In Afghanistan and Pakistan, America's military is killing—and being killed by—al-Qaida forces. In Libya, America's Navy and Air Force provide cover for al-Qaida forces seeking to overthrow the regime of Moammar Gadhafi.
In a Monday night address to defend U.S. attacks on Libya, President Barack Obama said that America could not turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. Yet Obama and the corporate media ignore the slaughter of civilians in Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, China and North Korea.
Obama says it would be a mistake to expand the allied military mission to overthrow the Gadhafi regime, but that Gadhafi must relinquish power.
Obama insists there will be no U.S. ground troops in Libya, yet the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit took part in the initial assault and the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit is set to head to the region to relieve the 26th.
Obama says America will not continue to lead the operation and it will be turned over to NATO. Yet, America is NATO, providing a fourth of its budget—more than the combined amount of the next two largest contributing countries—and the majority of its assets and command.
Such is the duplicity of American foreign policy.
There has been much "mystery" surrounding the identity of the so-called rebels America is protecting in the Libyan civil war. Author Webster G. Tarpley, Ph.D., points out that, while all the lead players aren't known, enough is known about them to understand they are some of the same people American is fighting in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
According to Tarpley, the insurgency in Libya is a reprisal of a British attempt to foment an uprising in 1995 in which Gadhafi would be assassinated and Libya would descend into chaos, prompting Great Britain to swoop in to "protect" the oil fields. Already, rebel leaders are making oil deals with the French. And if there was any doubt the global elites were behind the chaos percolating in the Middle East, the fact that Libyan "rebels" have already established a central bank should put any doubts to bed.
al-Qiada was formed by the U.S. and Great Britain to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, and many of its leaders are double agents of the Central Intelligence Agency or MI-6—like Anwar al-Awlaki, America's terrorist du jour. As such, al-Qaida is used for many purposes.
As Tarpley points out, for President George W. Bush, the presence of al-Qaida was used as pretext for starting a war on another country. The Obama method is to use al-Qaida to overthrow independent governments and either Balkanize or partition those countries or use them as kamikaze puppets against larger enemies like Russia, China and Iran.

In football, it's another week, another Johnathan Thomas highlight you should probably see. In basketball, the Terps move on from one Class of 2014 prospect and onto another in the Class of 2015.
Football recruiting
-- Running back commit Johnathan Thomas made Deadspin.com with a 107-yard interception return for a touchdown. He says he ran it out of the end zone because he was confused about where he was. No doubt those trying to tackle him felt the same soon after. Thomas finished with 227 rushing yards on 27 carries, so perhaps this high praise should not be surprising.
-- Quarterback commit Will Ulmer rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown on nine carries and was 5-for-8 passing for 77 yards in St. John's (D.C.) 26-21 loss to DeMatha on Saturday.
-- Linebacker commit Tyler Burke had a sack, a forced fumble and a 53-yard punt return for a touchdown in Coatesville's (Pa.) 42-13 win Friday. You can watch the return in all its yes-that's-a-linebacker-scoring-on-a-punt glory at the 1:26 mark here.
-- Tight end commit Andrew Gray had one touchdown in Chardon's (Ohio) rain-shortened, 35-0 victory Friday.
-- Defensive end commit Jesse Aniebonam was cleared of any serious head or spinal injuries after a helmet-to-helmet hit in the final minutes of Good Counsel's 30-20 loss Friday to Gonzaga required him to be carted off the field.
-- Maryland looks to be in good position for wide receiver target Juwann Winfree, according to 247's Jeff Ermann. Winfree, a four-star prospect, tweeted last Friday that he had four catches for 121 yards and one touchdown in his most recent game.
-- The Terps checked out Iowa Western Community College, former home of Deon Long, on Wednesday.
-- Class of 2014 defensive back target Jalen Tabor tweeted that he had added Arizona to his list of schools he will officially visit. The blue-chip cornerback also will head to Maryland, Alabama, USC and Florida.
Basketball recruiting
-- Class of 2014 center target Chinanu Onuaku of Riverdale Baptist (Md.) will decide between Louisville and Miami. The four-star prospect at one point seemed a likely match for the Terps, but after center Trayvon Reed committed, the window appeared to close.
-- Not long after offering him, Mark Turgeon visited Class of 2015 shooting guard target Donovan Mitchell on Tuesday, according to 247's Josh Stirn.
-- Class of 2016 guard prospect Malik Ellison will visit Maryland on Oct. 11, according to Future150 analyst Brian Flinn. Ellison is the son of former NBA player Pervis Ellison.
-- ESPN's updated Class of 2014 rankings have three Terps in the top 100: Melo Trimble (No. 37), Dion Wiley (No. 48) and Trayvon Reed (No. 69). Jared Nickens, as the 20th-rated shooting guard, likely falls just outside the top 100.
-- ESPN's updated Class of 2015 rankings have a handful of Terps targets in the top 100: Diamond Stone (No. 5), Jaylen Brown (No. 14), Derrick Jones (No. 18), Daniel Giddens (No. 36) and Horace Spencer (No. 46).
-- ESPN's updated Class of 2016 rankings only go as far as listing a "Terrific 25." Notable targets include: Thon Maker (No. 1), Mustapha Heron (No. 14) and Joe Hampton (No. 25).

|A tender, fluffy sweet buttermilk cobbler dough, dropped like dumplings into freshly stewed blackberries and topped with homemade whipped cream.
Iron Skillet Blackberry Dumpling CobblerWhen I was in what we used to call junior high school, it's hard to believe now, but we actually used to walk home from school a lot. It wasn't that we didn't have an easier way home - we certainly did - but there was something much more peaceful about that long, casual stroll from school to home than there was riding in that hot, smelly bus.
Sometimes we'd cut through the tiny base gate by the school and catch the bus that carried the airmen around - much less crowded and full of nice smelling and good looking airmen heading to the movies or the bowling alley on base. For a long time we were never questioned about hitching a ride. Things were much more relaxed in those days, and I suppose they thought we lived in the adjacent base housing on the other side of the base, which just so happened to be close to my house. And McDonald's. And the pizza place. And Lum's, where we'd often hang out for hours listening to the jukebox after school.
Just seeing this photo makes me smile.
Anyway, we traveled by foot a lot back in those days and more often we'd find ourselves tromping along the railroad tracks, where we'd delight in the appearance of the wild blackberries, or I suppose more appropriately called dewberries. Why did the best blackberries always grow along the railroad tracks I wonder? We'd rush home, grab a bucket and weave back through the woods to pick what we thought were always the best berries. Oh the memories... but thank goodness the berries are a bit easier to come by these days and I await their short-lived arrival with anticipation for something just like this.
Combined with some sugar, a little lemon juice and a cornstarch slurry then simmered to that gorgeous red juiciness.
Blackberries always cry out to this drop dumpling method of cobbler to me and I like a tender, sweet buttermilk dough, with just a touch of nutmeg. I use a small cookie scoop to drop my dumplings in the skillet - about 9 around the edges and 3 in the center of an 8-inch cast iron skillet.
Don't let the seeds of the blackberry turn you off - there's lots of good for you fiber in those seeds! If the texture is off-putting to you though, run them through the first 20 minute simmer, allow it to cool a bit and then strain or use a food mill to extract the seeds. Warm it back up on the stovetop before dropping in the dumplings and moving the skillet to the oven.

- 1/4 cup of cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup of buttermilk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter an 10-inch cast iron skillet, or another heavy, oven safe skillet.
In a small container mix a slurry of the cornstarch and cold water; set aside. In a large bowl combine the blackberries with the lemon and sugar. Add the slurry and gently stir. Transfer to the skillet, and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. (If you wish to strain out the seeds, let mixture cool and press through a food mill or strainer. Return to the skillet and bring back up to a boil; reduce to low and proceed.)
Meanwhile, for the dumplings, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until crumbly. Stir in just enough buttermilk to form a soft dough. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dumpling dough into the hot fruit, 9 dumplings around the outside of the skillet, and 3 in the middle. Place into the hot oven and bake at 400 degrees F, for about 25 minutes, or until dumplings are golden brown. Serve warm, topped with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of plain heavy cream.
Blackberry Dumplings: Prepare mixture as above except in a saucepan on the stovetop. Bring mixture to a boil and immediately drop dumplings by tablespoons into mixture. Reduce heat to medium low and cook, uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook an additional 10 minutes, or until dumplings are fluffy.
