Genre: YA/Contemporary/Mystery
Plot: Everyone in Devil's Lake knows the three golden Malloy sisters—but one of them is keeping a secret that will turn their little world inside out….
No one knows exactly what happened to Kit in the woods that night—all they have are a constellation of facts: icy blue lips and fingers cold to the touch, a lacy bra, an abandoned pick-up truck with keys still in the ignition. Still, Tessa, even in her fog of grief, is certain that her sister's killer wasn't Boyd, the boy next door whom they've all loved in their own way. There are too many details that don't add up, too many secrets still tucked away.
But no matter how fiercely she searches for answers, at the core of that complicated night is a truth that's heartbreakingly simple.
Told in lush, haunting prose, Frozen Beauty is a story of the intoxicating power of first love, the deep bonds of sisterhood, and a shocking death that will forever change the living.
"…it's your life, your being alive. It was supposed to be yours.
But then, one day, it isn't."
"Secrets. Secrets."
The Malloy sisters are well-known in Devil's Lake for their contrasting personalities and unique beauty. They are thick as thieves and have always shared a close bond with each other, and their neighbor and best friend Boyd. But the three sisters also have secrets. Deep, dark and lovely secrets that they keep hidden from one another. And it isn't until the eldest sister, Kit, is found half-naked and frozen to death, that the secrets finally start to unravel. And when Lilly comes forward with information about seeing Boyd and Kit out in the snow that very night, arguing and kissing, Boyd is taken into custody. But Tessa can't believe that Boyd, their best friend and her crush, could hurt any of them. So she begins to dig deeper, but what the sisters uncover is more twisted than anything they could have imagined…
"Lilly: the unpredictable one, the selfish one, the baby of the family – all brawl and tears and flash and fire…
Kit: the good girl, the oldest, the one to whom everyone turned in a time of crisis.
Tessa: known for tripping on her own feet, a clumsy shadow in Kit's wake. Not a shadow…but a negative, all bleached out and odd to look at."
Frozen Beauty is a beautifully written story about the relationships between three sisters in close age to one another, but who are vastly different in looks and personalities. It portrays the competitive nature between the girls, the yearning to be seen, the desire to be confided in, and the secrets that each of them kept hidden – unsure if they could share them with each other. The sisters love one another deeply and spend a lot of their time together, along with Boyd, but the distances between them are vast once the layers begin to fall away.
This story is told between the two remaining sisters, Lily and Tessa, as they begin to navigate a life without their older sister Kit. The story flips back and forth between the days leading up to Kit's death, and present time. So as we get to know these two sisters, it is quickly shown how different the girls are and how much they actually keep their lives separate from one another. Tessa is in the same grade as their neighbor Boyd, who is like a brother to the girls, and she is kind of quirky and nerdy but in a relaxed cool kind of way. Lilly, however, is a spunky fifteen-year-old who is the typical young teenage girl – obsessed with clothes, loves attention, and is drastically trying to make herself seem older. But Lilly is also beyond hilarious and drops curse words like a seasoned vet, and I loved her for every sassy sentence she delivered.
But the real story centers on Kit, and the WHY and HOW of her sudden death.
"That early Saturday morning, only two days later, Kit's body would be found, bruised and frozen, in the back of Boyd's truck."
Early on in the book, there is a "before" scene of when Lilly sneaks out of her friend's house after waking up and seeing her friend is no longer there. She sneaks out onto the road when she sees headlights, and comes upon her sister and Boyd arguing in the snow, and eventually kissing. Not wanting to intrude, Lilly goes back to her friend's house…but finds out the next day that her sister never ends up leaving that spot. So she goes to police and tells them that Boyd was there that night, and that he must have had something to do with it.
"A cry of guilt –
A wolf in the forest of falsehoods that we built.
And now, winter whispers: deny, deny,
Silencing me with its little white lies.
I open my mouth and it fills with snow.
The end's a blur – I can't see where to go."
Secrets obviously play a huge role in this story, and not just between the sisters. EVERY character seems to be dealing with some heavy stuff or hiding a dark secret. Lilly's best friends are no exception. One is shrinking into thin air and drowning in oversized clothing to compensate for her frail frame, while the girls don't even mention anything about it. And the other girl begins acting frazzled and says the most indecipherable sentences and phrases…I swear, my brain was in overload trying to figure out what was going on!
As far as suspects go…this author really lays out the possibilities for you! She introduces countless characters who act vague, spout cryptic statements and just act incredibly suspicious. Boyd, who has grown up with the Malloy sisters and acts as their protector, comes off as this great guy at first but it's not hard to be swayed into a corner of believing him to be obsessive over the girls. Then there is Patrick. A mysterious, new bad boy with rumors of violence and criminal activity following him through the school halls.
But how this story actually turns out was…well, it was alright. My mind wasn't blown or anything, but it was still a twisty tale that I couldn't figure out until the end. I definitely didn't see THAT coming, but it wasn't the kind of surprise that had me gasping for air and wanting to scream dramatically. Another story I had read last year had a similar outcome, so maybe that's why I wasn't as satisfied with the ending as I could have been.
I think I was expecting a bit more from this story. At times the writing was really beautiful and poetic, but other times it felt very forced and awkward. Dialogue was where things would get a little cringey for me, like when the author tries making Patrick seem like this super mysterious and cool guy…but just ends up making him look like he can't form a sentence? There was a lot of odd comparisons that didn't make sense, and the connections to the characters just wasn't really there. I was wanting to get gut-punched with emotions and loss from Kit's death, but I found myself in a state of not really caring for her at all.
It was a decent story and a good mystery, but I wanted a little more substance and feeling. However, I do like the themes of how secrets can both strengthen and ruin a bond, and the emphasis on sisterly dynamics. I think the author perfectly captured the essence and intricacies that make up the bonds of sisterhood. There is competition, fighting, envy and being left out. But there is also a deep and unbreakable love, and a compassion for one another that is deeply rooted.
I came for the mystery, but I stayed for the sistership.
"And sisters are the hardest – they are mirrors of you; they are competition, opponents in everything…They're a reflection of your best and worst self, and yet strangers always on the brink of going their separate ways and leaving you, or being left by you – a shadow in the doorway, falling across the carpet. A hug that lasts the length it takes to snap a photo, before it turns into a shove.
They have the power to undo you. And, maybe, to save you.
That's a terrifying kind of love…"

Mildly Modifying Pontiac's 455 H.O. To Add Nearly 100 hp Over Factory Gross Rating
To ensure suitable engine operation on unleaded fuel while reducing emissions, GM mandated a maximum compression ratio of 8.5:1 for the 1971 model year. Pontiac responded by essentially increasing the displacement of its otherwise high-compression 1970 Ram Air IV to create the 1971 455 H.O. In its introductory model year as the division's top engine, the round-port 455ci had a gross rating of 335 hp at 4,800 rpm and 480 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm. The 455 H.O. was carried over for 1972 without any major changes, but the gross output rating was dropped in favor of net values. It was rerated at 300 hp at 4,000 rpm and 415 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm.
Despite only two years in production run, the 455 H.O. is regarded by many Poncho experts as the most versatile street engine Pontiac ever produced. Gobs of low-rpm torque make it quite responsive in normal driving conditions, and it can instantly turn tires into a smoky haze by standing on the throttle. It remains a formidable contender in pure-stock competition, and simply injecting it with a bit of modern technology allows the factory-engineered package to really shine.
Jim Rotella of Omaha has a 1972 Trans Am that's equipped with a TH400 automatic transmission, 3.08:1 rear axle ratio, air conditioning, and power steering and brakes. When the time came to rebuild its numbers-matching 455 H.O., he reused the important factory-issued components and beefed up the internals to maximize performance without compromising driveability. Here's how this 455 H.O. generates 433 hp at 4,800 rpm and 517 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm.
The number-matching 485428 455ci block with four-bolt main caps was bored 0.030 inch during a previous rebuild. The cylinder walls were clean enough that only an additional 0.010 inch was required during this rebuild, taking the total bore diameter to 4.195 inches. Butler Performance supplied its proprietary long-stroke rotating assembly that includes 4.25-inch forged steel crankshaft and forged H-beam connecting rods from Eagle and forged pistons from Ross. Total displacement measures 469 ci.
The 1972 455 H.O. 7F6 cylinder heads with oversized intake ports and round-shaped exhaust ports were completely rebuilt using bronze valveguides, stainless-steel Ferrea valves in 2.11/1.77-inch, and a multi-angle valve job. Intake and exhaust airflow at 28 inches measures 223 and 177 cfm, respectively. Comp Cams supplied the 987-16 dual valvesprings while ARP supplied the 7/16-inch rocker studs. Combustion-chamber volume measures 100 cc and compression ratio calculates to pump-gas-friendly 9.2:1.
Intake Manifold
Beyond minor surfacing to true up the flanges, the cast-aluminum 488945 intake manifold with separate cast-iron exhaust crossover and oversized intake runners was otherwise left as-cast.
While the 1972 455 H.O. used an otherwise typical-for-1972 Quadrajet with an airflow capacity of 750 cfm, the 1971 455 H.O. Quadrajet was quite unique and flowed more than 825 cfm. Rotella uses the rare 1971-spec No. 7041268 carburetor. Its fitted with 74 primary jets, 43 primary metering rods, and CV secondary rods for maximum performance.
A pair of reproduction round-port exhaust manifolds with 2.45-inch diameter collectors from Ram Air Reproduction Enterprises replaced the cracked originals.
The original 1112126 points-type distributor was rebuilt using a high-quality CS-89 contact points set from NAPA. It was recurved to provide 22 degrees of mechanical advance by 3,200 rpm. Peak power was achieved with 34 degrees of total spark lead, and 12 additional degrees of vacuum advance improves efficiency at response in light-throttle conditions.
A custom-ground hydraulic roller camshaft from Comp Cams was specifically chosen to complement the intended operating range and convenience accessories. Duration at 0.050 inch measures 224/236 with 0.502/0.520-inch valve lift with Comp Gold series roller rocker arms in 1.5:1 ratio. The lobe separation is 113 degrees with the intake centerline at 109. Comp's 857-16 hydraulic roller lifters were also employed.

Transmissions: Element 120 is a "short single-player" Half-life 2 mod that equips players with a new kind of gravity gun that enables them to leap over buildings and fall from great distances without suffering damage. Taking place after the events of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, it challenges players to figure out where they are and why they've been sent there. On the technical side, it boasts custom levels, code, models, sounds, and a number of upgrades to the Source Engine, including enhanced dynamic lighting, improved support for complex structures, and better AI. And it was all created by one guy.
"Hello, I've been working on this half-life 2 mod for 2 years, Transmissions: Element 120. It was a lot of hard work, coding, mapping, designing, modeling on nights and weekends but I'm finally done and its now available for free," the creator, who goes by the name of Shokunin000, announced on Reddit. "I hope you all like it, I put a lot of myself into this so be nice and enjoy. :) and of course valve deserves a ton of credit for letting me use their content to begin with."
I haven't played it yet, so I can't say if it's any good, but somebody at Gearbox certainly thinks so, because shortly after Shokunin000 posted his message, he was offered a job interview. "Hey, do you want a job in the industry? I work at Gearbox Software, we are currently looking for talent," a Redditor by the name of Jesterhole wrote in reply to the announcement. "This is 10x times better than most submissions I've seen. Great work. You should apply. I'd be excited to interview you. Good luck!"
In response, Shokunin000 described Gearbox as a "great company" but said he needed to discuss the offer with his family before he committed to it. We'll let you know which way he decides to go when we find out—in the meantime, why not give the mod a try? Download it free from transmission-element120.com, and if you dig it, throw it some love on Steam Greenlight.

At Silver Towers Presents Art Meets Mixology event acclaimed mixed media artist, Miguel Ovalle, and his video collaborator Dru Blumensheid, unveiled "Hell's Kitchen Rising," a three-dimensional, eight-foot sculpture, depicting the past, present, and future of Hell's Kitchen.
This event was part of a series celebrating the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and in a past issue, we gave you the inside look at "Silver Towers Presents A Taste of Hell's Kitchen," which celebrated the culinary joys of living the neighborhood with fare from many of the top local chefs. Both also paid homage to Larry Silverstein's vision for the neighborhood, which he had more than 30 years ago when he purchased the land where Silver Towers stands today. Mr. Silverstein has also been a supporter of the visual arts and has actually housed artists in the World Trade Center towers for over a decade.
"We were thrilled with the opportunity to work with Miguel again on this project, as he currently has his "Galactical Ride" sculpture displayed on the 69th floor of 4 World Trade Center where we've converted 34,000 square feet of raw office space into a street art gallery," said Aisling Gregory, Director, Marketing & Digital Media of Silverstein Properties.
"I am excited that I was able to do this piece for this event," said Miguel Ovalle, an acclaimed street artist also known as, Dizmology.
"The sculpture celebrates the influence of architecture on the Silver Towers structure, the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, and New York City. It has a beautiful curve which is symbolic of a burst of light energy."
Guests were also treated to food from some of the best chefs in Hell's Kitchen including 5 Napkin Burger and Le Vela, and cocktails were sponsored by 1893 from the Makers of Pepsi-Cola. In addition, celebrity mixologist, Rob Floyd from Bar Rescue wowed the crowd with his interactive, intimate "Cocktail Theatre" performance demonstrating the power of liquid nitrogen to create a melt-in-your-mouth summer cocktail.

Goldilocks and the three bears, by Craig Melbourne, is bloody brilliant! Yet another adaptation of the classic tale, this one will not disappoint, it is a dandy. The basic story is the same but the app is just delightful, chock full of discovery and exploration. We tried it out with some ESL students who were vaguely familiar with the story. We wish you could have seen the gleam in their eyes when all of their predictions came true, it was priceless.
From sequencing to vocabulary, this app provides plenty of learning opportunities with just the right mix of interactivity. The humorous illustrations, cheeky narrative, and musical score are tiptop and the added twist to the tale pushes this rendition to the head of the class!
Goldilocks and the three bears is simple and sweet, but has its surprise bangs. The subdued colors in the background of each page provide a contrast to the more colorful Goldilocks and the three bears. Oh, and did we mention, humorous? This Goldilocks, has lots of mischief on her mind and she steals the show as she ultimately creates chaos in the three bears house!
Note: This app does not have any settings beyond page turning, has no highlighting with narration and several pages are narrated with more content than is present in the text. Digital-Storytime appreciates that there are no annoying links that leave this app, but it also has an inadequate number of settings for basic navigation. For instance, there is no page guide or even a way to reset the book via a home button. Our overall rating reflects these deficits, although the story itself is quite lovely. The app also took quite awhile to load each page and crashed several times during our testing.

1. Profitability through high frozen beverage margins
Commercial frozen drink dispensers require minimal ingredients and have the potential to create a highly profitable product offering. Slush and granita drinks are primarily comprised of water, cutting costs on more expensive ingredients, such as dairy products.
Frozen carbonated drinks provide even higher profits as they are comprised of 40% water, 50% CO2 and 10% syrup.
The simple ingredients that go into preparing frozen beverages allow your amusement park to achieve gross profits of up to 120%.

Have any of you had multiple babies of one sex and then found you were expecting a later child of the opposite sex? I had a baby girl when I was 25, and although I had no idea how to take care of a baby, I was thrilled. When I had Caitlin 11 years later, I was excited as I felt I had this parenting thing down. When I got the results of my amniocentesis 3 years later and it said I was a "male carrier (my sister said, "A postal worker?!"), I was in complete shock. A boy? What in the world was I to do with a stinky, smelly and all around gross boy? Well, when those big brown eyes first looked into mine, I fell in love and I had a new man in my life. I figured out how to raise a boy, but there are times that I am still stumped and need a little guidance. When it came Henry's 12th birthday, I racked my brains for something that boys would really like. A friend suggested we play laser tag at Laser Quest in Knoxville. And so began one of the most memorable nights of my sweet boys young life.
On Your Birthday
When we first told Henry where we were going for his birthday, I believe I lost the hearing in my right ear. He screamed so loudly I believe the windows shook and the neighbors wondered if we were beating the poor boy! He had never been to Laser Quest, nor played laser tag, so he was over the moon with excitement. When we first walked into the facility, we were overwhelmed at all the games, machines and people in the lobby area. This place was jumping and I finally figured out where al the kids in Knoxville go on a Friday night. There were kids playing air hockey, racing cars, trying their luck at the claw machine and many other games. The two party rooms were full of activity and there was a throng of people whose color was called and were waiting to suit up. I have not seen this much hub bub since last Christmas when the kids were opening presents faster than anything I have ever seen!
The way it works is you pay for the number of games you want (1,2 or 3) and you are given color coded tickets. You are also asked for your "player" name (Henry was "HoneyBader" and Caitlin was "Eclipse"). Each time has a particular color and when it is time for the group that is at say 7:30, the "yellow" tickets are called. You are taken into the briefing room and the extremely friendly host will tell you all the rules and how to play the game. The kids loved this part because we were in a glow in the dark room with a black light, so if you were wearing white, you were a standout! Next you are taken into the equipment room where you get your gear on and ready yourself to play the game. There are several places on the gear (shoulders, chest and back) that will light up when you are hit with another person's laser. You will lose power for a short time before you can get back into the game. You get about 20 minutes to play and let me tell you, it is a workout! I stuck with Anna and we did a lot of hiding behind walls trying not to get hit! We had such a blast chasing everyone around and we all ganged up on my husband at one point! Once the game ends, you hand your gear back up and wait for your stats to be printed. Henry had 264 hits, Caitlin has 209 and I had 184. I think we did pretty well considering it was out first time.
Our room was all set up for us when our game was over, so we headed straight in for the food and cake. We completely forgot the ice and the sweet girls behind the counter went in the back and found us a bag of ice. I cannot say enough great things about the entire staff that took care of us during our visit. We all enjoyed our pizza, soda and cupcakes and the kids could not wait to get out and play some of the games. Caitlin and Alex had a terrific air hockey fight, which I took Caitlin's place for a round so kick his butt!
We had the best time at the Laser Quest in Knoxville for Henry's birthday! The kids loved playing laser tag as well as playing the games and each kids ended up winning a Smurf from the claw machine, which we could not get over! I felt the facility was really nice and clean, well taken care of and had a staff with such great attitudes that you do not always find these days. The kids cannot wait to go back, and because Henry got a free ticket, we will be doing so sooner rather than later! Thank you Knoxville Laser Quest!

"When I was 10 months old, my father left our village in India and came to Canada. He would be a complete stranger the next time I met him at age eight in April 1967 when I arrived in Vancouver," says Jinder Johal.
That's how Johal begins narrating her personal journey on Inside Stories, a website dedicated to connecting South Hill residents to their neighbours through storytelling.
South Hill is one of Vancouver's oldest shopping areas, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2010. The area stretches from E. 41st Avenue to E. 50th Avenue and continues to attract immigrants, welcoming successive waves of German, Polish, Chinese, South Asian and Filipino residents over time. In 2009, over half of South Hill was made up of residents from East and Southeast Asian descent.
"A neighbourhood should be shaped by the people who come to it," says Nettie Wild, award-winning documentary filmmaker and Inside Stories' co-creative director. "And if you hear your neighbours' stories," she continues, "we believe you might relate to them differently."

Wild is one of the nation's leading documentary filmmakers, having won the Genie Award for Best Feature Documentary in Canada twice and receiving the BC Film Critics Circle Award for her contributions to the industry in 2010.
Initially, Wild was asked to produce a film documentary on the area by grassroots community organizers Susan Faehndrich-Findlay and Claudia Buendia, as well as South Vancouver Neighbourhood House's Executive Director, Karen Larcombe.
"But I asked if they'd be willing to try something new—to experiment with interactive, multi-platform storytelling on the web," Wild remembers.
"Traditional, linear documentary film-making gives you 90 minutes to take an audience from the beginning through to the end. But digital storytelling makes it possible to put the same type of art and craft into multiple narratives, letting each site visitor pursue mini-stories."
Wild ultimately partnered with web designer Jeremy Mendes and his sister, photographer Shannon Mendes, to launch Inside Stories. "It was a labour of love—we had a 30,000 budget, but collaborated with one another and the community to produce a $100,00 site," she adds.
The site operates as a virtual street front navigated by clicking on different buildings on the block. When selected, each building launches the personal story of a real-life community member like Jinder Johal who was greeted on her arrival to Vancouver by a father who had become a stranger. Today, she is the head of South Hill's local library—the very branch that her father first took her after she emigrated from India.
"We have nine stories online now," explains Wild, "but the last thing we want is to create an artifact that dies in cyberspace."
"We've mined the high-stakes drama from each resident's back story, uncovering universal themes like loss and belonging that resonate and help build connections between neighbours," she says. "But how do we start a dialogue that flourishes online?"
One solution may be to dovetail online engagement with offline events, which is why artists, storytellers and activists will join community members from South Hill on November 3, 2011, in the Alice MacKay room at the Vancouver Public Library. A special screening of Inside Stories will be followed by an open discussion moderated by Nettie Wild to consider whether art can trigger social change. Admission is free but seating is limited so you're encouraged to register early online.
In Part II, community organizer Susan Faehndrich-Findlay reflects further on how art can inject health into a local community.


text: iv just seen the post waxy maxize starch craze and you are completely wrong. Its a natural product within the endosperm of grains (in the case of maize, its dervied from corn). Its different to normal maize starch in its composition whereby waxy maize starch is primarily composed of amylose (linear D-glucan chains) compoared with normal maize starch which is composed of both amylopectin (highly branched D-glucan chains) and amylose.

Born with a congenital heart disease, and thus unable to join in activities that are too physical, Manga Club Captain Yoshimatsu Hotaka can only watch through the club room's window whenever the school swim team practices. Hotaka is enamored with swimming ace, Awaya Niki. But sickly, shy and extremely introverted, he feels all he can do is pine for her from afar. Seeing her as a sort of Goddess of Summer, he feels he isn't even worthy to share the same air with Niki, much less approach her.But when the gym teacher asks Hotaka to attend a special, after-school swim class to make up for not participating during regular classes-a supposed to be one-on-one student teacher session which the swim team unexpectedly crashes-it sets into motion events that may, quite surprisingly, result into Hotaka and Niki actually becoming friends.
Manga is defintley something I am starting to make more time to read. One of the best places I have been to check them out is my local library, naturally. So one day as I was browsing the shelf I noticed this manga sticking out and felt myself gravitating to it. Feeling a sense of nostalgia with the anime show Free, I grabbed the first volume and dove right in.
In this first volume we are introduced to character Yoshimatsu Hotaka, born with a heart disease, president of the manga club, and who is currently crushing on student Awaya Niki. After an incident at the school pool the two find themselves becoming the most unlikely of friends.
A story that begins as relatable and shows the relationship between two characters that perfectly encapsulates what new friendships are like as well as the feelings we may feel towards new crushes the author does a remarkable job in bringing this story to life.
I did find this first volume to begin slowly but I do feel that with more volumes there is potential for the story to open up into being a heartwarming story of friendship, this is a manga, although falling somewhat short for me, is one that could turn out to be a great summer read.

Cannabis can help with natural pain management, make it easier to fall and stay asleep, and is currently being evaluated as a possible treatment for epilepsy.
Medical and recreational marijuana is a lifesaving product to many. As cannabis becomes more and more popular, consumers are curious about the different ways to enjoy it. Many turn to edibles as an alternative to smoking.
If you can't get enough of cannabis recipes, you need a good base that will work with any food group. That's where cannabis infused honey comes in. It's not just a natural sweetener, it's also easy to make. Read on to learn how to make cannabis honey.
Decarb First
The golden rule of cooking with cannabis? Decarboxylate your marijuana before making cannabis infused honey, cannabutter, or any other cooking base. If you don't decarb, you will experience virtually none of the effects and benefits of cannabis.
To decarb, turn your oven to 240-250 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab a baking sheet lined with foil and a grinder. Then, grind up the plant into smaller pieces, and place them on the tray. If you're concerned about the smell, it's fine to cover the cannabis in foil. Cook for 40 minutes, ensuring that the temperature never goes over 320 degrees.
The best Cannahoney recipe
The easiest way to make cannabis infused honey is in a slow cooker. You'll need about 15 grams of the marijuana you decarboxylated, as well as two cups of organic honey. Grab a cheesecloth for straining, some string, and a mason jar for canning.
First, put your cannabis in the cheesecloth, and tie up with the string to create a sealed sachet. Then, pour your honey into your mason jar, and place the jar in the slow cooker. Fill the cooker with water and ensure that the water line covers the honey in the jar. Then, cook on low for eight hours.
Once that's done, let the cannahoney cool down (we suggest removing it from the cooker to speed up the process.) Strain the honey from the cheesecloth. Then, you're all set to cook with your cannabis honey! When you've used what you need for your recipe, put the rest in the fridge.
You can use the honey in pretty much any recipe you want. You can mix it in teas, use it in your brownies, and get more info. about other ways, you can feature it as an ingredient.
Enjoy cannabis infused honey in your cooking
Learning how to make cannabis infused honey in a slow cooker is surprisingly easy. You'll love the effects you feel, and we're willing to bet you'll become a lot more adventurous with your future cannabis cooking.

On our first hitchhiking trip together, my partner Al and I carried low-cost fiberfill-insulated sleeping bags. (We simply couldn't afford goose-down bags and knew that the feathery stuffing loses its warmth-giving properties when it gets wet, anyway.) Pulling out of Fairbanks, Alaska in September, we roamed down the Pacific coast as far south as San Francisco. After Golden Gate country, we decided to indulge ourselves, and took a bus to Ohio. From there we went back to thumb power while traveling to Florida and Connecticut and then homeward through Maine and across Canada. We reached Fairbanks with the first leaves of spring.
As you can imagine, we encountered some pretty wild climatic changes on that journey. And while our fiberfill bags were all right sometimes, they were excessively hot or cold much too often, frequently damp, always bulky, and-worst of all-they wouldn't zip together to make a double bed. We learned quite a few things on that trek, not the least of which was that we needed to look for new ways to achieve sleeping comfort when cold weather camping.
For the next couple of years we lived on an island in Alaska's inland waterway, outside of Sitka. There, the rain-forest climate provided new lessons. Most important, the cold, wet weather tutored us in the benefits of dressing in–and sleeping under–wool . . . the lightweight, rugged, nonbulky, natural insulating material that holds in body heat even when it's soaking wet. Luckily, we'd bought a stack of wool blankets (for a buck each!) at a factory outlet some years before, and you can believe we put them to good use during those long north-country winters!
At any rate, the next time we came down with a bad collective case of itchy feet, we'd wised up enough in the ways of warmth and comfort to substitute wool for the heavier, bulkier, and all-around less satisfactory synthetics filled camping gear we'd lugged through our first journey. So, in preparation for the upcoming travel adventure, I grabbed four of our blankets, an inch-wide roll of Velcro-type tape, and my sewing kit . . .and set to work. Before long, AI and I had not only the double bag we'd missed so much on our first trip, but also comfy wool ponchos.
Sewing a Sleeping Bag
For the sleeping bag, I sewed the tape onto the blankets (hooked surface outward on one, looped side up on the other), working across the bottom edges and up the sides to about armpit height .. . to form a self-adhering woolen envelope. Then, to produce an itch-preventive lining, I stitched together the bottoms of two inexpensive Indian cotton sheets (often called tapestries) and sewed up the sheets' sides to about chest height.
Before a trip, we spread the sleeping bag on a waterproof ground cloth, put the sheet liner in the bag, and lay a rope across the middle so that its ends extend a foot or so beyond the sides of the bundle. After rolling up the whole works, we bend the lightweight, compact load over the top of Al's pack and downward into a horseshoe shape. Then we pull the rope ends tight and tie them to secure the package firmly. To augment this arrangement, I further anchor the bedroll to Al's pack with several foot-long straps of the self-adhering tape (it's a lot easier to rip hook-and-loop material loose than it is to fight wet knots when your fingers are cold).
Versatile Camping Gear
To make a versatile bag that can serve either as a double or as two singles, all you have to do is change the positioning of the Velcro-type tape. On the first blanket, sew strips–loops outward–along one side and halfway across the bottom of the material. Then stitch more tape–hooks outward this time–down the other side and across to the middle of the blanket's bottom. Reverse both placement and surface sides of the tape on the second blanket . . . so that the two halves of the bag will match up to stick together. Now, if you want to convert the double bag to single sleeping compartments, simply fold each blanket in half lengthwise, and you're in business. With this setup you'll want to leave the liner sheets unsewn, using one inside each bag, or put Velcro-type tape on them, just as you did with the blankets.
Ponchos From Wool Blankets
To make our outer wear, I cut head-sized holes in the center of the two remaining blankets, then sewed reinforcement hems of bias tape around these perforations. Before getting on the road, we roll these cover-ups inside a second waterproof ground cloth and strap the bundle onto my pack. During the day the ponchos keep us warm (if need be), and at night they serve as extra blankets . . . one on top of and one beneath us. This four-blanket combination has kept us comfortable–most of the time–for some years now, in climates as diverse as those of Alaska and Hawaii. The spare ground cloth covers our packs and guitars on wet nights while AI and I snuggle together inside a small tent in the warmth of our woolen bed.
All in all, we're quite happy with this camping outfit and wouldn't trade it for all the people-insulating synthetic materials in the world. The hair of the sheep is light, warm, easy to wash, and relatively quick to dry . . . and it saves enough weight and space in our packs to allow us to carry extra supplies for extended journeys.
When (and if) this batch of camping gear wears out, instead of spending a wad on costly man-made equipment, I'll just buy four more woolen blankets . . . which should leave us enough money to finance another trip!
EDITOR'S NOTE: Readers concerned with out-of-doors comfort might want to look into Harry Roberts' Keeping Warm And Dry (Stone Wall). Roberts is editor of Wilderness Camping magazine, and his book's 133 pages are crammed with good scoop on just what the title indicates.

Since returning from an inspiring ESTS conference in Paris at the end of last week, I've made some adjustments to the Lexicon of Scholarly Editing. First, I've installed the Jetpack plugin, which shows some interesting website stats, improves how the website is displayed on mobile devices, adds a series of sharing buttons at the bottom of each entry, etc. Then, I also installed a new search plugin to resolve the website's search engine bug that was mentioned in last week's post. The search engine could still be improved, and I'll be on the lookout for better search-plugins, but at least the results are ordered on the basis of 'relevance' now, rather than on their date. And I've also added a forum plugin to the website, which allows for a better communication between contributors.
But the most important improvement to the website would probably be that it is now linked to a public Zotero group called Lexicon of Scholarly Editing, which makes our bibliography more useful as a research tool. Alongside a list of the works in our bibliography, the Zotero group library also includes a 'To-Do List,' which can be regarded as a great starting point for those who wish to contribute to the lexicon. Also, because it is a public library, members of the Zotero group can also add texts to the list if they think those texts may contain definitions that can be added to the lexicon. And as a nice bonus, this library can communicate with the Enhanced Bibliplug plugin that has been added to the website, which allows me to update our Bibliography Page semi-automatically.
Besides its 'form,' there is also a bit of news about the website's 'content': we have recently crossed the 200th entry mark! The prize for 200th entry went to the term Textual Scholar. In the future, I think that crossing such marks will become a little more difficult, as the lexicon will mainly have to grow in depth, rather than in length. But still, it may give some indication as to the Lexion's size. Finally, I've also added a few more categories to the list, which will hopefully make it easier to find the terms you are looking for.
As always, if you have any comments, questions, or bugs to report: feel free to do so below!
With kind regards,

SALE & PURCHASE: Freehold Detached / Freehold Townhouse with Common Elements
Thanks, Bruce, for the support you afforded us throughout our recent home purchase and sale transactions. Your comprehensive services enabled us to optimize the sale of our home and the purchase of a new residence with enthusiasm and confidence. Given the tight time constraints we were working in, you ensured we fully accomplished our objectives with no complications or delays.
Bottom line, your professional and personable approach, together with the final results, exceeded our expectations . . . well done! Please feel free to add our names to your growing list of satisfied clients. We have no hesitation in recommending your services to others (and have done so already!).
Ted & Laurel Chivers, Markham-Unionville
SALE: Freehold Detached
"Bruce, you did a brilliant job in assisting us in the sale of our home. Thanks to your detailed market review, recommended timing for listing, and pricing strategy we sold for almost exactly what we expected in less than a week. Your marketing program was equally impressive. The pre-listing home inspection ensured no surprises and a fast firming of our sale and the use of a home staging expert ensured that our home had a broad and current market appeal – in fact we received nothing but compliments on its presentation. The marketing brochure presented our home and neighbourhood beautifully and your hands-on promotion and stimulation of demand proved exceedingly effective in generating such a quick sale in a deteriorating market. In fact, our home sold much more quickly and at a better value than an identical model listed on our street that had a larger lot, several unique upgrades and a finished basement. You are in a class of your own. The real estate board should create a special designation such as Real Estate Consultant to describe the full breadth and professionalism of your service. We would be pleased to recommend you to others."
Ian & Kathleen Sutcliffe, Markham-Unionville
SALE & PURCHASE: Freehold Detached / Freehold Townhouse with Condo Elements
"We found your services to be very professional and you provided a comprehensive level of service to us at all times. You were extremely knowledgeable and were able to keep us well informed. We found you attentive to our needs and extremely timely in your response to any and all requests we made of you. You, personally, went the "extra mile" many times to satisfy us. The purchase and sale negotiations were handled by you extremely efficiently and effectively while at the same time reducing our stress level to a minimum. Overall, it was a pleasure working with you, Bruce. We felt very much at ease in being able to rely on your work. We have already recommended your services to others and would have no hesitation in doing so again in the future."
Paul & Chris Oliver, Markham-Unionville
SALE: Freehold Detached
"You asked us if the sale of our home met our expectations. It did not — it exceeded them! We did what you recommended to properly prepare our home for going to market, you arranged for a Realtors' open house, and we sold that same day for $20,000 over asking. What we liked about your service was your great advice on the upfront preparation of our home, putting the right price on the listing to encourage an offer, performing an upfront home inspection to eliminate a potential condition on the sale, and placing a warranty on our home's systems and appliances to minimize risk to the new homeowner. As you said, "Everyone wants to make a great sale, but few of us are willing to do the preparation to make that sale great". Would we use you again? In a heartbeat."
Larry & Linda Chester, Markham-Unionville
SALE: Freehold Detached
"You took the time to get to know our family and neighbourhood which was not only thoughtful but it helped properly place our home on the market. Throughout the sale process you demonstrated your market knowledge and took the time to explain and guide us every step of the way. Your creativity and suggestions on how best to prepare our parent's home for sale and your ability to introduce us to home service providers who could help us in that preparation were invaluable. During the course of the sale we had positive comments about your professionalism from our neighbours and from our own lawyer who was amazed at your level of commitment right up to the day of closing. Thank you for a job well done in a very timely manner – we're forever grateful."
Jamie & Judy Butler, Toronto
SALE: Condominium Apartment
"We wanted to write a short note to thank you for all your help with the sale of our first home. Many people find real estate transactions a tiresome and cumbersome process - but ours was fantastic, due largely to you. We were able to get top dollar (the best sale price our condominium building has ever seen - and we're only on the 5th floor!) and in a very short period of time. We attribute our success to your efforts. From pricing us properly to marketing our home perfectly, you took care of every detail we could think of (and a few we hadn't). Your excellence and professionalism are compounded by your energy and good nature. We very much enjoyed working with you and would eagerly recommend your services to anyone. Great results and great attitude made it great to work with you!"
Derek & Evelyn Radcliffe, North York
SALE & PUCHASE: Freehold Link / Freehold Detached
"You were an invaluable resource and provided exceptional service in both purchasing and selling our homes. We found you to be hard working, personable and professional, and appreciated your follow-up with us after each purchase/sale was finished to ensure our complete satisfaction. Your home marketing buyer incentives and home purchasing peace-of-mind coverages were wonderful bonuses to your service. We have had a positive experience utilizing the Home Buyers Protection Plan to assist with unforeseen issues that arose after our home purchase was complete. We highly recommend you to others for all of their Real Estate needs."
Rob & Debbie Carlyle, Markham-Unionville
SALE & PURCHASE: Freehold Detached / Condominium Townhouse
"Everyone commented positively on the quality of your professional marketing materials, the neighbourhood open houses, and the home warming party you hosted on our behalf in our new residence - great marketing plan. Our working relationship was open and forthright - the right decisions were made at the right time. You provided us with all of the relevant market comparables for the proper positioning our home in the marketplace and we were glad you were on our side when negotiating price. This was done well. Having an overlap between the sale closing and that of our purchase was great as it made for an orderly move. Susan and I thought the whole process went extremely well and would recommend your services to sellers and buyers."
Wayne & Susan Fisher, Mississauga
PURCHASE: Condominium Apartment
"Buying a home should be an exciting life event. No doubt, there is a great deal to know and plenty of issues can arise to complicate the home buying process. Your no-nonsense, professional approach to real estate provided us with incomparable personal service and a smooth transition into home ownership. You are highly knowledgeable about the real estate market. Additionally, your high level of personal service and commitment made us feel as if we were dealing with a member of the family. You met all of our home buying needs promptly by offering up a diverse network of professionals and packages, which made house hunting, decision making, the home inspection, financing and legal process a breeze. Moreover, we were very impressed when you were able to secure us a purchase price below asking and before the vendor was officially accepting offers in a situation where multiple offers were almost certain. We have and will continue to refer you to all of our family and friends for their home buying needs."
Patrick Fisher, Toronto
SALE & PURCHASE: Condominium Townhouse / Freehold Detached
"I was thrilled with the sale price of my townhouse – highest price ever paid in the complex – and was also pleased with the purchase price we were able to negotiate for my new home. I found your home sale and purchase programs, marketing materials, attention to every detail and follow-up to be outstanding. I particularly appreciated your taking the time to fully understand my specific needs, your management of the sale and purchase processes in a manner that minimized the disruption of my personal life, and that you kept me informed of the local market conditions and our progress on an on-going basis. The professionalism and ease of your collaborative approach made our working relationship an enjoyable learning experience. I will be recommending your exemplary real estate services to all I know."
Sue Dickens, Stouffville / Mount Albert
SALE: Freehold Detached
"Without hesitation, we'd recommend your real estate services. You addressed our every concern and guided us through the step-by-step process of preparing our home for sale. We appreciated the benefits of your arranging and paying for a pre-listing home inspection, the insurance backed warranty on our major appliances and home systems and the home stager. We also appreciated yout referrals to friendly and competent handyman and legal services.
Your business experience was best exemplified by the superior quality of your marketing material with its extremely detailed description of our home and property. The fact that we sold our home in just a few days at what we considered to be the right price and you were able to negotiate our closing to dovetailed exactly with the closing of the home we purchased in Kingston was simply the icing on the cake."
Edgar & Dorothy Mills, Unionville
SALE: Freehold Detached
"You have indeed looked after our best interests in the sale of our home in a most sincere and professional way. Working with you Bruce was a distinct pleasure to be sure. Having had little recent experience in such an indertaking, we especially apprecaited your sage advice and methodical approach to selling the place we have called home for over 50 years now. We would be most pleased to provide a personal recommendation to anyone considering the use of your services."
Glen & Charmion Henderson, Newmarket
PURCHASE: Freehold Detached
"We wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping us with our property search. Over the past number of years we have been involved with several real estate agents and while each has treated us well, we were most impressed with your approach. Throughout our search we perceived that you were not trying to consummate a deal simply to get on to the next client but that you genuinely had our interests in mind, researching each home we looked at and offering useful information that helped us in selecting the home we eventually purchased.
While you have an impressive list of supporting tools and services that you use to promote your business and which brought you to our attention, at the end of the day it wasn't the tools but rather the man behind the tools that we apprecaited the most."
Dan & Janna Johnstone, Richmond Hill

Say hello to the Microsoft Xbox One Media Remote that you would have already seen leaked by Amazon, even if only for a few minutes around one week ago. Since that introduction of a pre-order page, Microsoft finally revealed the Xbox One accessory today.
The Xbox One Media Remote will allow owners of Microsoft's new console to control Blu-ray movies, video playback, and stream video at the touch of a button. The remote also features a dedicated button for OneGuide, which basically lets users use the Xbox program guide to access movies and TV shows.
Other features include a Back button for taking a step back in different situations, and of course the always useful control of your television thanks to IR blasting and the Kinect sensor.
Once you pick up the Xbox One Media Remote it senses this action thanks to being motion-activated, so if the room is dark the controller will light up to illuminate even in the darkest rooms.
We are yet to see a release date for the Xbox One Media Remote, although we do know that it will arrive at the start of next month. The price will be $24.99 in the United States, so expect similar pricing in other parts of the world plus the normal taxes.
Will you be purchasing the Xbox One Media Remote to complete your media setup?

I graduated in 1999 from Boston University School of Public Health with an MPH in Maternal/Child Health and certificate in Nurse Midwifery.
Even as a child, I was always fascinated by pregnancy and the miracle of an egg and sperm transforming into a human being. Becoming a nurse-midwife, therefore, seemed like a very natural choice for me. In 1995 when I began exploring midwifery, I spent some time observing and talking with the midwives of Mount Auburn. I went on to finish my nursing and graduate training, then worked briefly as a per diem at Cambridge Hospital before taking a position in Hartford, CT and later Lowell, MA. In December of 2006, when I joined the MAMA midwives, it felt like I had come home.
I'm still fascinated by pregnancy, childbirth and how incredible our bodies are. I've seen hundreds of births, and yet each is very unique and special to me still. To be able to help a woman transition from "I can't!" to "I'm doing this!" to "I did it!" is so amazingly gratifying that I can't imagine ever doing anything else.
When not working, I keep busy with my children Isabel and Henry (born in 2000 and 2004 with the help of nurse-midwives!), and with any time left over, I enjoy quilting and cooking.

Background/Aim: The author has published results from two series based on his new technique of inguinal hernia repair. Interrupted sutures with a nonabsorbable material were used for repairs in both theses series. The author now describes the results of repairs done with continuous absorbable sutures. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of 229 patients having 256 hernias operated from December 2003 to December 2006. An undetached strip of the external oblique aponeurosis was sutured between the inguinal ligament and the muscle arch to form the new posterior wall. Continuous sutures were taken with absorbable suture material (Monofilament Polydioxanone Violet). Data of hospital stay, complications, ambulation, recurrences, and pain were recorded. Follow-up was done until June 2007. Results: A total of 224 (97.8%) patients were ambulatory within 6-8 h (mean: 6.42 h) and they attained free ambulation within 18-24 h (mean: 19.26 h). A total of 222 (96.4%) patients returned to work within 6-14 days (mean: 8.62 days) and 209 (91.26%) patients had one-night stays in the hospital. A total of 216 (94.3%) patients had mild pain for 2 days. There were four minor complications, but no recurrence or incidence of chronic groin pain. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 24.28 months (range: 6-42 months). Conclusions: The results of this study correlate well with the author's previous publications. Continuous suturing saves operative time and one packet of suture material. The dream of every surgeon to give recurrence-free inguinal hernia repair without leaving any foreign body inside the patient may well become a reality in future.

This text is from blog famous currency strategist Joel Kruger .
TAKING A BACKSEAT – Nothing really going on with EUR/USD on Monday, and overall, the market is still locked in some tight interday consolidation. At this point, a break and daily close back above 1.2445 or below 1.2250 would be required for clearer directional bias. Still, I do retain a constructive outlook, and anticipate the next break will be to the upside. I am looking for a push above 1.2445, towards the projected objective at 1.2600, which represents a key fib confluence (38.2% of 2012 high-low move, 78.6% of June-July high-low move). However, although short-term direction in EUR/USD is tougher to calculate at the moment, there are some other markets that are quietly making some interesting moves and well worth the look.
IS THIS LATEST USD/JPY MOVE FOR REAL? – This market has finally broken out of a multi-day consolidation in the 78.00′s and many are now wondering whether it is the start to something bigger, or if the move is nothing more than a bull trap, with the pair looking to roll back over and trade down towards 78.00. At this point, the rally has stalled by the top of the daily Ichimoku cloud. This is significant as the price has not been able to break above the cloud since April. Should we see a break and close above 79.65, it would help to validate the latest break-out and open the door for additional gains towards next critical resistance by 80.60. However, inability to establish above 79.65, would put the pressure back on the downside. I contend that we are in fact on the verge of a breakout, with the very impressive latest bullish weekly close acting as the catalyst for the start to the next major upside extension. Any setbacks this week should be very wel supported on dips ahead of 78.80.
COULD EUR/AUD FINALLY BE READY FOR A CHANGE? – The relative outperformance in the Euro last week, and relative underperformance in Aussie, resulted in some interesting price action in this cross rate, which was lifted from record lows. I have been drawn to this cross for many months now, given how relentless the downtrend has been since 2008, with the market remarkably dropping from 2.1000, all the way down to 1.1600. Medium and longer-term studies are well oversold, and with the market putting in an impressive bullish reversal week, I wonder if this could finally be the start to a much needed healthy corrective bounce. In fact, I contend that when the market does decide to break higher, the move will be more than corrective, and the start to a major trend reversal. Look for any setbacks this week to be very well supported above 1.1700 on a daily close basis.
S&P 500 LOOKING FOR RETEST OF YEARLY HIGH – US equity markets (global as well) have been very well bid over the past several months, with the charts showing a consistent push to the upside. However, upon closer glance, it seems we are nearing a critical inflection point, with the S&P very close to a retest of the 2012 highs from March. Daily studies are not quite overbought just yet, but I suspect once the 2012 highs are retested and possibly slightly exceeded, the market will be looking to reverse sharply in favor of a fresh wave of bearish activity. As such, I recommend looking for opportunities to fade rallies above 1425, in anticipation of a sizable pullback in the weeks ahead. Ultimately, only a weekly close above 1425 would delay and give reason for concern.
MAYBE OIL PUSHES ABOVE $100, BUT NOT MUCH FURTHER – Quite an impressive rebound in this market since basing out by 77.50 back in June. However, any additional upside from here could very well be limited. I would be looking for rallies to soon stall out with some key resistance ahead. The 61.8% fib retrace off of the 2012 high-low move comes in around 98.00, while there is also some formidable previous support turned resistance from mid-April at 100.65. As such, I will be looking for an opportunity to fade additional strength once the market breaks into the 98.00-100.65 area, with the catalyst for the short entry contingent on the location of the daily RSI and intraday volatility at that time. More likely than not, the short trade will be established above 100.00.

Whatsapp Banned In China Due To Illegal Information Leaks:
The former and most popular "Whatsapp banned in china" due to some of the privacy violation.
The chinese firewall rules revealed some of the suspecious leaks by the whatsapp.
As we all knows the whatsapp is a game changer mesanging app which is a best and first option to interact with friends.
Hence we always forgot to recall the privacy during sharing our private texts, pictures and videos.
Other Platforms are also Banned in China like Whatsapp banned in china
While Big U.S. companies have been shut out of China's market for years, including Facebook , Instagram, Twitter, and Google.
Some people access these services through virtual private networks, or with tools that disguise internet traffic to circumvent censorship. But the Chinese government has been cracking down on VPNs this year.
Whatsapp users on international SIM cards and data plans have not experienced the same problems. The restrictions appear to specifically target China-based users. China's internet regulator did not respond to a request for comment.
Whatsapp's difficulties cast a shadow over Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's longtime efforts to make Facebook services available in China.
As we all know china is a fast growing country in technology hence the internet privacy rules are going to be strict in Cyber Rules than past years.
The hackers and spires are watching all your activity. Its easier to track you and your internet footprints by several tools and tricks.

The Chinese government call-out comes as China increases internet scrutiny ahead of its Oct. 18 Communist Party congress, which happens once in every five years.
Now China started non-tolrable policies to whatsapp. which had previously been only a few messaging services permitted to function without government interference .
Then its a straitegy of china that "Whatsapp is banned in china".
Hence, it's a big shock for Facebook – Whatsapp is banned in china . As Facebook is a big and trusted social platform hope they will fix the privacy leak infrigment soon.
Whatsapp is Banned In China But Successor is We Chat:
The alternative to Whatsapp already available in china that is "We-Chat". Owned by a chinese company "Tencent".
Which was very popular among chinese peoples from past years before whatsapp launched.
We-chat mobile application software developed by Tencent. which consists of Instant messaging client like Whatsapp.

Defying the laws of physics, Dunkay managed to fit his plump, furry body through a tiny opening in the back gate and into the forbidden pasture with rogue llama Stormy. Mini-horse Lacy, aka The Tank, tried to follow him, but is a bit chunkier than he is and looked like the oft-fought battle many fight with skinny jeans a size too small. She twisted, snorted and tried to jump. She gave up and backed out while Dunkay stood there mockingly with a mouthful of grass. Sparky, not to be deterred or outdone by a mere donkey, thought she could get through to the field of plenty and squeezed, whinnied, stomped her hooves and got stuck like a cork.
I stood there watching the performance as my eyes rolled with the words, "oh, brother" coming out of my mouth along with "c'mon!" With indifference at this point, I went to the other side with Dunkay and I pushed Sparky's head and shoulders, forcing her to go backwards and freed her from the trap. I must admit I was tempted to leave her there and be contented with a scolding of "bad horse, very naughty"!
I then turned my attention on the original issue, Dunkay! We sized each other up for about 15 seconds, me with narrowing eyes and he with the amusement of knowing it would soon be chase time. I stepped toward him and he stepped back. I raised my arms to start my 'famous crazy farmer lady yell,' and he, unfazed, turned around and trotted to the back part of the pasture. The games had begun!
I chased, he dodged. I yelled waving my arms, he threw his head back and loudly, with seeming laughter, let out a 'HEE HAW.' We sparred back and forth as Stormy camped in the corner watching.
All the while, chickens scattered, feathers flying, while the mama hen protected chicks as we barreled through the middle of the flock that previously had been peacefully pecking away at the grass. It seemed the madder I got, the greater energy and happiness he bolted with. He won. This time.
I left him there for Super Farmer to deal with when he got home. Later on around dusk, I listened as Dunkay sounded out his amusement when Super Farmer chased him back and forth yelling out words like, 'Idiot, stop, awww, come on!' I quickly went outside and pulled up a rocker to watch the unfolding show. I definitely got my money's worth!
Super Farmer gave up. He came back to the house mumbling as he scraped the poop off of his dress shoes with tie flapping behind him. He gave me a 'don't even say it' glare, so silently I giggled and gave a thumbs up to Dunkay. Later, a simple offering of carrots tempted Dunkay to follow me without fanfare as he smugly returned to his own field. Just another day at Addie Acres.

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/POLITICS/10/05/campaign.wrap/art.obama.gi.jpg caption="Sen. Obama slammed Sen. McCain's health care plan at a campaign event in North Carolina Sunday."]
(CNN) - Sen. Barack Obama on Sunday charged that Sen. John McCain's campaign is launching "Swift boat-style attacks" on him instead of addressing the country's problems.
Watch: Obama fights back
"Sen. McCain and his operatives are gambling that they can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance. They'd rather try to tear our campaign down than lift this country up," Obama said at an event in Asheville, North Carolina.
"That's what you do when you're out of touch, out of ideas, and running out of time," he said.
The comments come a day after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate, claimed that Obama associated "with terrorists who targeted our own country."
The McCain campaign shot back on Sunday, saying its accusations are "true facts," and not "smears."
"The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.
"True facts?" McCain is seriously trying to claim that it's a "true fact" that Sen. Obama "pals around with terrorists?" Now, the RNC is trying to suggest that Obama's campaign contributions violate regulations. The only thing they haven't done is offer one shred of evidence for either claim.
Is there some reason McCain and the RNC doesn't want to talk about the economy, health care, education, the environment, FEMA, mine safety, diplomacy, International relations, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan.....
You betcha, by golly, there's a reason! Doggone it!
McShame.. get a life. We wont fall for this.
A 90 year old woman in Ohio shot herself because of her mortgage crises and all McCain can come up with is personal attacks on Obama. I am sure that elderly lady wouldn't mind at this time who helps her with her with the morgage crises: Obama or McCain. Instead of McCain to tell this woman what he can do to help her he is tearing down the opponent. Go figure America!
Character is important, judgement is important.
When a candidate is so unknown and so new to the national scene, it is very important.
The general media has not given us enough information about Obama: how he used legal loopholes to get ALL his opponents off the ballot when he first ran in Illinois for example. Is he going to run the country by finding legal loopholes? (like his campaign has done now in Ohio!). These are primary issues of high importance not a smear campaign!!!
Of course that's what McCain is doing–it's the only tactic he has that gives him a snowball's chance in you-know-where of winning the election. I was going to vote for McCain, then wasn't sure after he picked Palin. After seeing her, and what he's become, there's no way I'd vote for him–I'm glad I've had a chance to see all of this before I voted.
John McCain is the desperate and decrepit leader of a foul and twisted campaign. He has completely abandoned the alleged honor and integrity he once professed to possess. He can't win on issues and engages in outright lies which only his ignorant "base" will believe. The self-righteous right wingers and the NASCAR faithful will eat whatever he serves up. Palin is no better...she is the standard bearer of the ignorant. She is the voice of those who see no fault in America, claiming that to see fault is unpatriotic. They see nothing wrong with America, because they've brought us to where we are now. Lack of regulation, free reign for corporations to do as they please. McCain is a fool. Palin is a joke. The RNC is desperate. And many will support them, not because they like McCain, but because they continue to be the sheep that they are.
John McCain, we the people of the US are not interested in your smear tatics. It will not work this time around. Believe me when I tell you this strategy will backfire on you! Stay on the issue Obama we are behind you 100%.
Thats all Johnny Angry has left, Distraction. He needs to distract the voters who now realize just how bad the ceconomy really is. And that the De regulation policies pushed by McCain are what have brought this disaster upon us. Angry old johnny and Gooly gee Gomer Palin cannot turn this mess around.
The man who picked Palin as a running mate is questioning Obama's judgment? In my 43 years, I've never witnessed a more absurd campaign as that waged by McSame. It saddens me that enough people support this old fool to make this race as close as it is. If you voted for W. twice, you might want to sit this one out and let those of us with good judgment help the country rebuild.
Yeah right! How can we trust the judgement and honesty of McCain. Keating 5 ring a bell? Economic crisis ring a bell. How does he blame Obama for that one?
Amazing that the party that is trying to stop any attempt at getting to the truth about Troopergate is doing everything it can to pin false and debunked accusations against Obama. There is no compelling reason to vote for John McCain.
If the McCain camp steps up their Swiftboating, the Democrats should fire back with attack ads about McCain's history with the Keating 5, his adulterous affair leading to his latest marriage to a prescription drug abuser, his running mate's support of a fringe political group striving to separate Alaska from the United States, and the ethics investigation into his running mate's possible abuses of power.
So much for the decent campaign McCain promised. How unfortunate that they must resort to smear votes to push them over the top.
McCain and Palin must be prepared for voters to revisit their own archive of controversies– from infidelity to Keating 5 to Troopergate.
McCain has given up in Michigan and now he is giving up on the main issue: the economy, the financial crisis.
The final and definitive bankruptcie for the McCain/Palin ticket.
"It's the economy, stupid!"
How could the McCain campaign say their accusations are "true facts"... Are the serious?
Are they not accountable for the words they speak, even when their accusations have already been debunked by the media outlets?
Wow... Who in their right minds could vote for them?
I am not trusting you ( CNN,to acknowledge this comment),but I am going to send it any way.As I have written to CNN several other times,without any response!! The mccain,camp is pulling for straws,just remember to give Equal Postive coverage to Obama/Biden as you do to Mccain.The republicans are filled with known LIES,Deception,and Trickery.But perhaps your station,will Start to use Diversity in your reporting (More Black and Hispanic jouralists.This will help to have a more Fair output of opinions.Mccain's camp shuold think about why his grandfather/father had his war records sealed,and why has CNN ,not talked about that,and what is palin hiding from in Troopergate,you don't even mention that,why.That camp is and always have been Crooked!Be more Fair in your Reporting,and using other ethinic journalists,on a daily bases.
Mary Perry
Obama Biden have won
Distraction are what they are
the fact remains, M/P have loss
it all a matter of how bad at this point. McCain go negative and more will question his judgement.
Her & Todd along with McCain are now getting desperate and would say & do anything to win this Election. Is that what we really need?
Then quit trying to blame all the economic woes on Bush, McCain, and the Repubs. This housing crisis started when Clinton was president, and pressure was put on lenders to make bad loans in the name of equality. These in turn got sold to Freddie and Fannie, and there you go........ Bush's policies DID work for 6 years, then the housing crisis hit. Keep up the same, and also start to reduce spending on the war.
oh please McCain camp...haven't we had enough from all your lies....what on earth would make you think that you the Republicans wouldn't have skeletons in your closet....Phil Gramm ring a bell? Please name these true facts..NOT LIES...I'd love to hear um....
I see HONOR is one thing McCain lacks if he can't get the votes by having a woman an inexperience woman by his side he has to smear Obama to get votes. What kind of person reduces his integrity by going to smear tactics. Where is his self repect his code of honor. When Bush smeared his name he cried foul and said he would never sink to that kind of low. But with his straight talk he lied America .....he lied. Obama was 8yrs old when Ayers did his dirt. I guess at 8 he had that much clout. If you really need to look at the man and wonder does he make sound judgements? He left his crippled wife for money. He has the same stubberness i see in George Bush thats scary to me. If you want to be scared look at the man and see the cockyness that Bush displayed you will see McCain can we go 8 more years of a person who thinks that its his way or no way. Palin cant even have a thought without him coming to her rescue.. she is programmed to recite his mantra and she will do it because she knows that McCain will probably not survive his first term and she can have all the power she craves.
The GOP are certainly reaching. I wish they would focus on the issues. I haven't heard HOW McCain plans to help us out of the financial crisis; oh, wait...does that mean he doesn't have a plan? Absolutely pathetic!
Mccain a once preceived respectable man has lost all respect with how he continues to conduct hisself.
stay focuse america thay are comin with the kitchen sink OBAMA/BIDEN
