WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and several colleagues, including Representative David McKinley (R-W.Va.), released the following statement about today’s preliminary determination from the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding proposed tariff increases on the sales of Bombardier C series aircraft:
“We are disappointed with the Department [of Commerce’s] preliminary decision to impose additional duties on the C Series aircraft. This decision is shortsighted and threatens thousands of good jobs across the country supported by Bombardier and its suppliers. We urge the department to work with the parties to find a responsible solution that will not negatively impact American aerospace workers, American airlines and airline consumers before reaching a final decision.”
Bombardier employs approximately 400 workers at its aircraft service center located in Bridgeport, West Virginia.
This summer, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled, preliminarily, that U.S. manufacturers of large civil aircraft may be threatened with material injury by the prospective sales of aircraft from Bombardier to Delta Airlines. A final judgment from the Department of Commerce is due in February 2018.

Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 launched as the first 4K laser projector with Dolby Vision support
Xiaomi has unveiled another ultra-short-throw laser projector, having already brought the Mi 4K Laser Projector to market. The Laser Cinema 2 will only be available in China for the time being, but past performance suggests that Xiaomi will release the device globally, eventually.
The Laser Cinema 2 can create between 40- and 200-inch images, although Xiaomi only recommends using the projector for 80- to 150-inch projections. According to the company, the Laser Cinema 2 peaks at 2,400 ANSI Lumens with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio. Supposedly, the projector covers 113% of the Rec.709 colour space, too.
Additionally, Xiaomi has equipped the projector with a MediaTek MT9669 SoC, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. As the image below shows, the device has three HDMI ports, all the 2.0b standard, two USB Type-A ports and a LAN port, along with 3.5 mm and optical audio connections for using the Laser Cinema 2 with external audio equipment. The projector has dual 15 W speakers on board, though.
Arguably, the projector's biggest selling points are its 4K resolution and Dolby Vision support. Currently, the Laser Cinema 2 is the only projector to offer both, which Xiaomi has complements with HDR10 support. The Laser Cinema 2 will be orderable later this month for CNY 12,999 (~US$2,033). However, its price will eventually rise to CNY 14,999 (~US$2,345).

Queues as COVID fears resurface
There were long queues around COVID-19 testing stations in Auckland today as people rushed to check whether their symptoms.
This follows the discovery yesterday that four members of a South Auckland had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Contact tracing teams swung into action, and workmates of family members were also tested.
As the city went into level 3 lockdown at noon, police set up checkpoints on roads leading out of the city and tried to urge people not to head off for their baches.
Coromandel mayor Sandra Goudie warned her district had the highest percentage of over-65s in the country, and it did not need an influx of potential COVID-carriers.

An itinerary to discover Porta Romana
Time needed: one afternoon
What to see
From the Metro stop
When you finally get to Porta Romana Metro stop you will be surprised by the presence of the red Spanish walls, built by the Spaniards when they were ruling the town between the year 1548 and 1562. It is only one of the three walls built during Milan history to protect it from potential invaders: the first ramparts were the Roman walls, the second was the medieval walls. Porta Romana is not the most well-known area of Milano but it is home to some of the most beautiful buildings and gardens in town
Here you are our highlights:
dellaGuastalla is with no doubt the most elegant public garden you can find in Milano with its cute little baroque pond. It is in front of the stunning Ca’ Granda Historical Archive which just recently re-opened in January 2018. In case you start your itinerary here, we strongly suggest you have breakfast at the second establishment of Pavè (with no doubt the best contemporary cafè-bakery in town) which is located nearby.
dellaBesana is a unique late baroque (built between 1695 and 1732) building with a garden enclosed by circle shaped walls. This complex used to be a church and before that a cemetery. It hosts the Children’s museum and a cafè and sometimes events and exhibitions take place here.
delleCulture is a recently built park that is worth visiting for the stunning street artwork by Millo that decorates it.
- Palazzina Liberty – located in Fomentano Park – is the place where the Nobel Prize and his wife and work-partner Franca Rame used to perform, which makes it one of the most important spots for the cultural identity of Milano.
- Cascina Cuccagna is a very surprising place to find in the heart of the economic capital of Italy and it tells us a lot about the recent history and fast growth of Milano. This building used to be a working farm devoted to the growth of medicinal herbs. Now it is a restaurant, a hostel and an event space.
Eat and drink
Porta Romana is a nice place to eat both at lunch at dinner: here we can suggest you try Trippa, Pasta Madre, Giulio Pane e Ojo (go for the lunch menu) and Giannasi take away roasted chicken. In this
If you feel like travelling to Belgium in less then 10 minutes go to Le
My favourite place in the
Do you want a drink instead? Our favourite cocktail bar in the area (and probably in Milano) is Zinc. We also like Lacerba and Pravda.
Find more interesting suggestions in the map at the beginning of the post.
Travel Slow Score
How to get here
Useful Metro stops: Lodi TIBB, Crocetta and Porta Romana. All of them are on the yellow line.
Come here if…
… if you want to experience the elegance of Milan, without the hype and the tourists, but with many surprises. Or if you want a good pizza or a good cocktail.

Hotels and resorts are expected to enjoy high occupancy as travelers move around the country in the coming days.
The Holy Week has historically been a peak period for domestic travel in the Philippines.
In a news release issued Monday, Philippine Hotel Owners Association (PHOA) President Arthur Lopez said hotels have been reporting very good bookings.
“I have been receiving feedback from our members that bookings are rising, which is very encouraging,” Lopez said.
With the easing of inter-zonal travel requirements, Filipinos can take advantage of the long days off from work during the Holy Week by traveling to different destinations in the country, creating strong demand both for city hotels and resorts.
“The high demand is a welcome development for the accommodation sector, which has been severely impacted by the pandemic in the last two years. The return to pre-pandemic levels will take a while but at least we are seeing stronger demand across different traveler segments,” Lopez added.
With greater mobility among travelers and higher operating capacity in hotels, PHOA will continue to strictly implement health and safety protocols among its members.
“We are committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable stay for all our guests. We will therefore ensure adherence to public health standards in the entire customer journey,” Lopez said.
Most parts of the country are under the most lenient Alert Level 1 until April 15 as coronavirus cases remain low.
Under Alert Level 1, movement of persons, regardless of age and comorbidities, is allowed, but with restrictions on crowded and closed spaces and close-contact settings.
In early February, the Philippines also loosened travel restrictions and reopened its borders to vaccinated international tourists.
Department of Tourism, citing data generated from the One Health Pass, said as of April 7, a total of 202,700 have arrived in the country.
PHOA is a non-stock, non-profit organization established in 1977. With 300 active members, it is the largest private group of hotel owners, investors and developers in the Philippine tourism industry. (PR)

Multi Color Shawl Wrap Fall Colors made with Superwash Merino Wool
This item is a shawl made with yarn made with Superwash Merino Wool. It came in a kit - the colors are meant to complement each other. I got the "warm" colors kit.

Resting dimensions of shawl (before stretching): approx. 38” width and approx. 20” height
Stretch (scale of 1-5): 3 – stretches more than 30%
Yarn type: Superwash Merino Wool - 100%
Yarn brand: Fibre Art Studio
Washable?: yes - cold or cool water. Recommend air dry flat.
The first 2 photos are of the actual item you are buying. The last 3 photos are to show the personalization choices. I can add tassels and / or charms to this shawl if you would like me to. Or I can leave it as-is with no embellishment. The charms shown are only a few of the types I have, so feel free to ask me if I have a type you are looking for & I'll be happy to let you know if I have something like that, or send you more photos of what I do have. Brief list of themes of what I definitely have: faux sea glass, "gemstones" (also faux), holo & pearlescent, butterflies, owls, egyptian, moon & star, tree of life, Halloween, celtic. I do have others, but this is a brief list.
If you like the design, but would like a different color or type of yarn, contact me & I'll be happy to discuss a custom order. I do have a substantial collection of other beads, buttons, and charms I could add too!
I will be making more of these in the future in varying designs, colors, and yarn types, so stay tuned for more in the future. :)
Please be aware that my home is smoke free, but is not pet free (dog only). While all finished products are de-furred to the best of my ability & then placed in plastic bags, I cannot 100% guarantee that some fur from my border collie doggo won't make its way to the product. So, if you are allergic & really want one of my creations, let me know & I'll ensure you get a washable product.

121 OAK STREET
In 1890, W. L. Pease and his wife, along with their daughters, Hattie Pease and Sarah Innes, warranted a number of lots they owned along Oak Street to Charles F. Pease. In that same year, the Elgin Daily Courier noted that Leon Saint Peter of Dundee had built three houses on Oak Street for Charles Pease at a total cost of $4,500. Of those homes, 121 Oak Street, was built and primarily functioned as a rental property for the Watch Factory workers.
Down the street at 167-169 Oak, Charles Pease sold home furnishing pieces like floor tiles and mantles and grates. Pease and his wife, Mary, had one child together, Claudia. Claudia married into the Scheele grocery family.
After Pease passed away in 1906, Mary continued to own the home before selling 121 Oak to Emil and Phena Block in 1911. Emil and Phena Block are first listed as occupying the home in the 1907-08 Elgin City Directory suggesting they rented the home before buying it in 1911. Emil was born in Switzerland and came to Elgin in 1877. He worked in the Elgin Watch Factory for 28 years and was a member of the modern Woodmen Lodge. Mr. Block died of typhoid fever on July 3, 1916. Phena Block continued living in the home after her husband’s death until 1941 when she sold it to Fred Ganschow. Fred lived there for 20 years, until the executor of his estate sold the home in 1961.
Additionally, this home has ties to the Hemmens Cultural Center, a storied Elgin institution. As mentioned above, Charles F. Pease was the original owner of the home and brother to Hattie Pease. When Hattie got married, her name became Hattie Hemmens.
121 Oak Street is an example of a Gable-Front-and-Wing home, with some later additions adding a touch of other styles. The home itself, like many Gable-Front-and-Wing are in an L-shaped configuration. Decorative wood shingles on the second floor point to Queen Anne influences, an incredibly popular style in the 1890s. The full-width porch with tapered columns and a hipped roof was a later addition, and nods to the popular Craftsman style of the early 20th century with its Arts and Crafts touch. Wood clapboard siding remains throughout and the 1-over-1 double hung windows help retain its historic character. Additionally, the Southwest Neighborhood Illinois Historic Resources Survey has designated 121 Oak as significant in terms of its local historic significance for the area.

One of the titles he played recently is Ring of Elden. By participating in a recent podcast, Elon Musk is asked if he was interested in building his own console. Elon Musk he was short and honest and simply answered with “NO”.
“Consoles right now are all basically PCs. I’m not sure if there’s any added value in another (entering the market)”. please note that musk announced the termination of its estimated $44 billion acquisition contract twitter Inc, claiming that the social media company did not release information about the fake account.

Edwards aims to end contract with north La. hospital manager
BATON ROUGE - Gov. John Bel Edwards is moving to oust the operator of LSU's hospitals in Shreveport and Monroe, after it refused renegotiated contract terms sought by the governor.
Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne sent a letter to the Biomedical Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana notifying the hospital manager the state will seek to end the contract.
The governor's office released the letter Thursday. Edwards spokesman Richard Carbo says the two sides have 45 days to continue conversations under the contract, once the state seeks the hospital manager's ouster.
The research foundation, known as BRF, hasn't signed paperwork pushed by the administration to tweak the terms of the privatization deal.
Meanwhile, the relationship between BRF and LSU leadership has continued to deteriorate, with the two sides trading accusations of financial mismanagement.

Bob Corker, R-Tennessee; Bob Menendez, D-New Jersey; Marco Rubio, R-Florida; and Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, to strengthen U.S. global leadership in the fight to end modern slavery and human trafficking.
“At a time when an estimated 40 million people around the world are impacted by modern slavery, this legislation sends a clear signal that the United States is committed to eradicating human trafficking. The bipartisan bill signed into law today will help create a more coordinated and accountable global process to end human trafficking and support the professionals at the State Department and Department of Justice who continue to work, even during the government shutdown, to prosecute traffickers and identify and support victims,” said Coons.
“This is an important step forward in our efforts to end modern slavery and combat human trafficking worldwide, and as President Trump recognized in his remarks today, the work against human trafficking enjoys broad bipartisan support. Regrettably, President Trump also used the bill signing ceremony marking this important bipartisan success to continue to promote misleading and even false information about security and trafficking issues at our southern border,” said Coons.
The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, which amends and reauthorizes international provisions of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, will modify the criteria for determining whether countries are meeting the minimum standards for eliminating trafficking, highlight the importance of foreign governments taking concrete actions to abolish trafficking and extend authorizations for U.S. programs to combat trafficking, including the State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.

Srinagar: Congress candidate for the Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency GA Mir on Wednesday alleged that the ban on civilian traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway was a deliberate move by the BJP and the RSS to impose emergency in Kashmir.
"The saffron party (BJP) has sensed defeat, which has resulted in victimising people of Kashmir one way or the other. Steps like ban on civilian traffic on the highway and mass arrests are aimed at diverting the attention of the nation from their failures but it is not going to happen," he said.
"The anti-people steps taken by the government is a deliberate move to impose emergency in Kashmir," Mir said, addressing election meetings in Shopian and Wachi areas of south Kashmir.
He said the Congress will review all such moves taken from time to time to ensure that "injustice", meted out to people by the state administration and the Centre, comes to an end. "Besides, we will ensure that people are not intimidated and punished for no fault of theirs," Mir added.
He also took a jibe at the regional parties (The PDP and the National Conference) saying these parties were playing politics on the ban on highways for political mileage.
"The fact of the matter is that both the PDP and the NC are least bothered about such anti-people moves and their only concern is to gain political mileage in the ongoing elections," he continued.

Have a kitty?
I do, and I LOVE cats. I am a total cat person.
Don’t get me wrong, I like dogs, too. But I like individual dogs. Cats? Another story. I pretty much like all cats. I have liked them since I was a tiny girl crawling around on a store floor, meowing like a cat #truestory.
If you are a cat lover like me and have cats you know it’s important to have a good cat litter. Because, while I love cats, their litter can smell bad.
To help with this real problem you might want to check out Tidy Cats® Occasional Cleaning® and Tidy Cats® Lightweight Litter Instant Action™ products. They are available online at Walmart. With Tidy Cats® the litter clumps up quickly so it traps in moisture and odors. This makes clean up easy and in one scoop. #KittyOccasion
You can also head on over to Purina Pet Park website online at Walmart where you can submit a photo on Instagram of your kitty (use the hashtag #KittyOccasions). I submitted on of my cat, Shadow!

That, in essence, is what John Lawrence and Tyron Garner said March 26 when they asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn their convictions under a Texas statute that criminalizes consensual homosexual but not heterosexual sodomy. Obviously, the statute’s target is not sodomy. It’s homosexuality. Indeed, after it became clear that the practice of heterosexual sodomy was widespread in Texas, the state in 1973 narrowed its statute to prohibit only homosexual sodomy.
But in either case — whether homosexuals alone are targeted, as in four states today, or sodomy is the target, regardless of the sex of the participants, as in nine other states — the question remains: What’s the government doing in this business?
As a constitutional matter, the Texas statute will probably not withstand the court’s scrutiny. The Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause prohibits states from denying anyone the equal protection of the laws. Given that the statute singles out homosexual sodomy for prosecution, while leaving heterosexuals free to practice what they wish, we have what seems a clear case of the kind of discrimination the amendment will not allow. Homosexuals, after all, are not second‐class citizens. A law that prohibited homosexuals from living together, for example, but was silent about heterosexual living arrangements, would be thrown out in a minute.
But what about the statutes in the nine states that don’t discriminate on the basis of the sex of one’s partner? Here the equal protection argument will not avail since the prohibition applies to everyone equally. If the court is to invalidate those statutes too, as many of the briefs filed in the case urge it to do, it will have to turn to the substance of the matter. For historical reasons, the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process cause, which prohibits states from depriving people of life, liberty or property without due process of law, would likely be cited. But the amendment’s privileges or immunities clause, which prohibits states from abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, would be the better ground for overturning such laws. Unfortunately, the court has never really understood or made proper use of the protections afforded by that clause, which today is essentially a dead letter.
Were the court to invoke the clause, it might begin by asking those fundamental questions that are at the heart of the American vision, questions that are grounded on a simple premise: In a free society, before government can legitimately restrict the liberty of a citizen, it must have a good reason. The basic presumption, that is, is on the side of individual liberty, not government power. It is the government that must justify its action, not the citizen his liberty. And in that framework, not every rationale for government power will do. In fact, beyond protecting the rights of others, the rationales that will do concern primarily the protection of the general welfare — that is, the good of all.
Plainly, powers that punish those who are doing no harm fail that test immediately. If there is anything that marks the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, it is the right to pursue happiness, consistent with the rights of others, even when doing so may be unpopular or, in the eyes of many, immoral. That, in a nutshell, is the morality of liberty.

Days after the death of Gay Byrne, the dominant and outstanding figure in its history, RTÉ outlined overnight the measures it will have to implement to ensure its survival.
An Irish Times report on a three-year strategy to save €60 million, including 200 job cuts and a reduction of 15 per cent in pay for the highest-earning broadcasters, prompted RTÉ to release the full reform plan.
The details make our lead story this morning, and staff in the national broadcaster will be briefed on campus in Montrose later today. Dee Forbes, the director general, had intended to delay the briefing to next week due to Byrne's death.
It will be a painful time for those in RTÉ, who now have to wrestle with their future while reminiscing about the golden age that Byrne personified. A striking feature of the statements released last night from Forbes, Moya Doherty, the chair of the RTÉ board, and the NUJ was the strong language directed at the Government.
Senior figures in RTÉ have long been privately frustrated with the pace at which the Government is moving to reform the licence fee system. Earlier this year, Minister for Communications Richard Bruton put the collection of the licence fee out to tender.
The successful bidder will be awarded a five-year contract, after which the fee will be changed to a a “device-independent broadcasting charge” designed to capture households consuming publicly-funded content on devices other than traditional television sets. That timeframe, however, is far too slow for RTÉ.
Doherty said the “licence fee system is broken” and has “not been fit for purpose for some time”.
“In order to support this process of transformation that we are embarking on and to achieve financial stability, the TV Licence must be reformed,” she added. “This is the responsibility of Government alone. This is one of the most defining moments in the RTÉ’s 93-year history.”
Forbes was even more blunt.
"Government needs to act to ensure there is a future for public service media in Ireland, " she said. "I am clear about what role RTÉ should play in Irish life, but I am also clear that we cannot do it unless Government fixes the TV Licence system. We shouldn't be under any illusions; we are in a fight – a fight to sustain a viable public media in Ireland."
“We remain in discussions with Government. We are doing all we can to return RTÉ to a stable financial position, but we will not be able to reinvent public media for future generations, nor fulfil our remit, without immediate reform of the TV Licence system.”
The NUJ condemned the Government's "ongoing failure to adequately reform RTÉ".
The cuts plan also says RTÉ's Limerick studio will be closed, leading to immediate social media protests from local TDs such as Minister of State Patrick O'Donovan. Yet Government figures will not be let away that easily by the Opposition.
Eamon Ryan, the Green Party leader, has consistently raised the issue of media funding and public service broadcasting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Just this week, as the Dáil paid tribute to Byrne, Ryan said his death came at a time when it "is important to reflect at this time on whether we are valuing our public service broadcasting".
“We must bring back that sense of the importance of public service broadcasting, which is an important aspect of our democracy.”
Expect to hear similar sentiments in the days ahead.
Miriam Lord, surveying the new enthusiasm for voting among Dáil deputies, wonders if the party whips have been in action.

The writs in the four Dáil byelections to be held on November 29th – Dublin Fingal, Dublin Mid West, Wexford and Cork North Central – will be moved.
There will be statements on the "potential for an early exit from peat for electricity generation" and on the report of the Implementation Group on Seanad Reform.
A report from the Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht, called “The Arts Matter”, will be before the Dáil before the business of the House concludes for the week.
The Upper House is not sitting today because the Grand International Committee on Disinformation and Fake News meets in Seanad Chamber, hosted by the Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and the Environment.

Called cannabinol (CBN), the cannabinoid in question is not psychoactive and appears to keep aging brain cells alive by limiting oxidative stress within key cellular organelles. CBN has previously been found to have potent neuroprotective effects, but the mechanism underlying this property remains unknown.
The researchers therefore chose to investigate the cannabinoid’s capacity to interrupt a form of cell death called oxytosis – aka ferroptosis – which is strongly associated with age-related neurodegeneration, detailing their discovery in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine.
Oxytosis/ferroptosis occurs when cells’ supply of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) is depleted, resulting in increased production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a lethal influx of calcium ions across the cell membrane. The study authors triggered this process in hippocampal cells by administering high concentrations of glutamate, finding that this caused neurons to shrink and change shape.
However, cells that were pre-treated with CBN remained healthy and undamaged after being incubated with glutamate, suggesting that the compound may somehow inhibit oxytosis/ferroptosis.
Given that this type of cell death is known to generate a large increase in ROS in mitochondria – the organelles that generate cells’ energy – the study authors began to speculate that CBN may help to keep brain cells alive by protecting these key cellular structures.
Further experiments revealed that, without this cannabinoid, the induction of oxytosis/ferroptosis caused mitochondria to curl up and stop functioning – but the addition of CBN prevented this morphological distortion. Crucially, the influx of calcium ions across mitochondrial membranes was also reduced by CBN, thus enabling these important organelles to continue operating normally.
The experiment was repeated using brain cells engineered to lack mitochondria altogether, revealing that CBN was incapable of preventing oxytosis/ferroptosis in these neurons. This finding appears to confirm the pathway by which the cannabinoid protects aging brain cells, implying that the compound counteracts certain forms of programmed cell death by shielding mitochondria from oxidative damage.
Commenting on these findings, study author Pamel Maher explained in a statement that “cannabinol protects neurons from oxidative stress and cell death, two of the major contributors to Alzheimer’s.”
“This discovery could one day lead to the development of new therapeutics for treating this disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, like Parkinson’s disease,” she said.
Importantly, the researchers found that CBN’s neuroprotective effects were maintained in brain cells that had been engineered to lack cannabinoid receptors, suggesting that it should work without causing people to become stoned. According to Maher, these observations could open the door to new treatment for a range of different disorders.
“Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in changes in various tissues, not just in the brain and aging,” she said. “The fact that this compound is able to maintain mitochondrial function suggests it could have more benefits beyond the context of Alzheimer’s disease.”

It's finally happened! I have finally completed part two of the Deianeira series! That's right,
The Importance of Being Q
is finally complete and published. I've added it to the list on the first page of this thread and I'll get a picture up there soon too.
Now I'm going to take a short break from the ever expanding storyline of my own missions because I'm working with a load of fantastic Foundry authors on the Persistent Foundry Project. There's a link somewhere in a previous post in this thread...but I'll save you the time and just another one here!
It looks like it should be a pretty fun and interesting project, so keep an eye out for when we publish. I'll probably post about it here.
I don't intend to completely neglect my own missions of course, but I'm not sure there will be a new one published before my mission for the PFP is published. For anyone that's played all my missions already...you should have taken more time to do them, maybe a break between missions? I kid, glad you enjoyed them, but you might have to wait a little bit for the continuation of the Ambria/Deianeira stories.
For those of you who haven't played them all, now's a great time to go through the back catalogue of my missions! I currently have 17 published missions, 16 of which are part of a sprawling, continuous, interconnected storyline...the other one is part one of the (apparently) cursed
Give them all a try, tell me what you liked, what you didn't and how I can improve my future missions! I love hearing from players and fellow authors and I hope I can give you a somewhat immersive, entertaining and interesting experience.
I think that's about it for now. As usual if I missed something or think of anything later I'll be sure to come back and edit the post...otherwise, thanks to everyone that's played my missions and anyone who plays them in the future!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a green-fingered expert or a complete beginner, all gardens need a thorough tidying up after the winter. Mulch your borders with compost or manure and stop any young weeds in their tracks. All your hard work will pay off when it’s time to sow seeds and start the most fun part of gardening- planting!
Plant Trees and Shrubs
Definitely most people’s favorite part of gardening! After all, that hard work tidying up and removing unwanted plants, it’s time to get planting. If you didn’t manage to plant trees and shrubs during the fall, the ground should now be free from frost and therefore soft enough for you to get planting now. That way, your new plants will be fully established by the time winter hits again.
Pack Down Exposed Roots
Ground frost can cause roots to lift out of the ground during cold weather. It’s important to pack them back down again during spring. This will give your plants a fighting chance of survival!
Collect Fallen Leaves
If you have any deciduous trees (those that shed their leaves in winter), make your own leaf mold by putting the fallen leaves in trash bags with a little water. Tie the tops of the bags and make a few small aeration holes in the side before storing them in a sheltered part of your garden. By summer, you’ll have nutritious leaf mold ready to pamper your plants with. It can be added to soil and potted plants. Plus it actually reduces the need for watering: no bad thing here in the desert!
Sow Summer Plants
Sow summer bedding plants indoors in early spring. They can then be moved outdoors in late spring/early summer, once the weather warms up and there’s little chance of frost damage.
Plant Veggie Crops
If you planted vegetables last year, remove any old crops completely before sowing new seeds. Prepare seedbeds and fertilize your soil ready for this year’s crops, then look forward to all those delicious homegrown dinners! We hope this post has inspired you to get out in the garden and get busy. At Louie’s ACE Home Center, we have everything you need to fully embrace the joys of spring gardening, so pay us a visit today! We offer lawn care equipment from our ACE hardware rentals.

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.

Im a little disapointed with this one. It has all the things i like such as the windows and shadows using spit but its a bit boring. Not sure if its because the people are just there or if because there arnt any wild lines ,everything is where it should be which leaves nothing for the unexpected.
I am pleased with the man with a hat in the background he has a bit of charicter and his pose is very natural. Works well with the light also maybe a bit more contrast over all would have been better.

Welcome to the big leagues, Colorado.
In the past, the state’s caucus participants were the few and the proud, with an emphasis on the few.
Not this year.
With an earlier date, thousands of Coloradans were salivating at the chance to have a say before the November presidential election.
Packed house, hot topics, but cool heads prevail
MONUMENT — The body heat from a record turnout at Lewis-Palmer Middle School was so thick Tuesday that voters were fanning themselves with campaign literature and joking about rolling around in the foot of snow outside.
A whopping 98 Republican voters — 10 times the usual turnout — crammed into a foreign-language classroom with a poster outside that said “God Bless America,” though most of the posters inside were in Spanish.
“Anyone want to speak for Huckabee?” committee chairman Ron Stephens asked.
One woman did. She touted her candidate’s stands on defense and foreign policy.
“Anyone want to speak for McCain?”
“He strikes me, out of everybody, as being the one who understands that the economy is maybe the driving factor of the world in general and you need to understand that if you’re going to run the country,” said Jacob Rice, 20, a marketing student at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
One woman said, “I don’t care if he’s a Mormon. I don’t care if he’s a Catholic. I don’t care. He needs to turn this country around.”
“I don’t care if he’s a robot,” Rice said.
In the end, Romney carried the day with 59 votes. Erin Emery
First-time voters take more than baby steps
DENVER — Fiona Sky Frankel attended her first political caucus Tuesday at the age of 15 months. She came with her blanket, her stuffed monkey, a box full of animal crackers and a mother — also attending her first caucus. “Just because I really want Hillary to win,” Crystal Frankel said. “And I really want to support her.”
Fiona was among a half dozen babies and toddlers scurrying around the Lake Middle School cafeteria while 364 adults debated their nation’s future.
Kim Fuqua brought her 18-month- old son Finn, who sported a “Hillary 2008” pin. “Finn went to his first political rally for Hillary,” his mother said.
On the Barack Obama side, voter Steve Brauner slowly rocked his 3-month-old son Mylan in a baby carrier while his precinct voted on everything from the presidential campaign to immigration policy, domestic partnerships, the Arab-Israeli conflict and impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney. “Our little rock star,” said Brauner. “He travels well.”
Obama won the contest with 221 votes. David Olinger
Old friends, neighbors agree to disagree
ARVADA — The two women were old friends and next-door neighbors. On Tuesday, they wore different hues of pink and sat together in the front row of a classroom at Arvada West High School.
Dorris Peretti, 77, supports Hillary Clinton.
Marymae Seaman, 69, supports Barack Obama.
But they’re friends. And they practically finish each other’s arguments.
“He has a vision. I think he will be someone who can bring the country together. I just wish he had more experience,” Seaman said.
“Of course, he worked in Chicago, and that counts for a lot,” Peretti added.
Peretti brought a yellow legal pad and had tabulated how much she spent on health care in 2007: $9,040. This is why she likes Clinton. “I think the biggest thing we need is change,” she said.
Seaman agreed, “Hillary is good at that too.”
Peretti wavered: “I do like Obama. I just like listening to him.”
“Did you hear his keynote address at the (2004) Democratic convention?” Seaman said. “He said there are blue states and red states, but we’re all the United States.”
Peretti nodded. “Yes, we’re all part of the United States.”
Seaman laughed. “‘Course, now they say Colorado is a purple state.”
Peretti laughed and touched her arm. Allison Sherry
White pickups a sign of oil industry’s times
BATTLEMENT MESA — The white V-8 pickups that are ubiquitous in the oil fields of Garfield County were sprinkled throughout the parking lot at the Battlement Mesa Activity Center where Republicans gathered to pick a candidate.
As they rushed in to nab a seat in an overflowing room, oil-field worker Kyle Metcalf and his wife, Lori, said they came to their first caucus so their voices can be “included.”
The voices of oil and gas workers and the other Garfield Republicans were loudest for Mitt Romney. Republicans are perceived here as being more friendly to the industry.
That would explain why there were no white pickups or camouflage jackets at the Democratic caucuses down the hill in the Grand Valley High School auditorium.
The voters there mostly displayed gray hair and waved blue recipe cards in the air to indicate their preference for Barack Obama.
“I would like to see a woman get in there, but I’m afraid,” said retiree Tony Tonozzi. “I’m afraid they would swift-boat her. So I’m for Obama.”
The Democrats had a record turnout in a county where Democratic caucuses have traditionally been limited to a handful of people who know one another.
Name tags were needed for the 947 voters who began showing up a half hour before registration opened and then endured laughter-filled counts and recounts.
The 947 Democrats who turned out in Garfield County were a record.
“It was a tremendous turnout,” said Garfield County Democratic chairman Ed Sands. “I’ve been involved in politics since 1978, and I’ve never seen anything like this.” Nancy Lofholm
Enthusiasm squelched, but youth carries on
PARKER — Like many of the more than 500 Republicans who streamed into Chaparral High School on Tuesday night, Darrin and Rose Stokes of Parker did so with the fervent anticipation of voters about to experience their first party caucus.
“There’s a candidate we believe in,” Rose said as the couple headed toward the classroom where Precinct 99 would hold its meeting. “There’s never been a candidate before where we felt it was worth the effort.”
Their man: Mitt Romney.
Tagging along behind them was 14-year-old Jordan, an eighth-grader working toward Eagle Scout and equally eager to experience democracy in action. But as Jordan explained how he’d come to lean toward a particular candidate and how he’d really have to pay attention to the presidential straw poll, his parents were getting some bad news.
Although they’d registered to vote when they moved to Colorado last June, somehow they’d been listed as “unaffiliated.” Their names didn’t appear on the precinct rolls.
Darrin pulled out his cellphone and called the county clerk, but the couple was out of luck. They couldn’t cast their vote in the caucus. “That’s crazy,” sighed Rose.
Although they headed home, Jordan decided to stick around with his buddy, 17-year-old Spencer Thomas, who’ll turn 18 just in time to cast his vote in November.
The two teens stood in the back of a packed classroom while ballots were distributed and votes were cast. Afterward, they emerged exhilarated by their proximity to politics in action and buoyed by a landslide victory for Romney, who nagged 385 of the 545 votes cast.
“Spencer over here, he’s got a Romney T-shirt and some stickers,” said Jordan. “I think I’d like to get involved like that. At least until I can vote.” Kevin Simpson
Taking participation to a personal level
DENVER — Tim Slaughter had a few questions to ask following the official presidential poll at Bruce Ran dolph High School. He grilled precinct leader John Sullivan about voting percentages and delegate representation until he was somewhat satisfied with the results.
“I like the good old days when you just go in and vote (privately) for one person or another,” he said. “This is complicated, and there may have been some senior that wanted to come out in the afternoon, when it’s warmer.”
But there was a larger-than-expected turnout at the school.
Barack Obama won handily.
“I thought it was cool,” said Mark Arseneau, a special-education teacher from the Park Hill area. Originally from California, Arseneau said this was the first time he had participated in a caucus. “It was a grassroots effort.” Kimberly S. Johnson

Physical trading continued at a slow pace this week in Mexico's cash grain markets as the peso weakened but some yellow corn and soy buying was reported, traders and importers said Friday (October 24).
They said despite US prices falling for most of the grain types that Mexico imports, a weakening peso offset most of the price gains for local buyers and discouraged any major new business.
"There was some business done, mostly in the yellow corn and soy market used for feed grain because the prices are relatively attractive compared to the highs we've seen earlier in the year," said one Mexican physicals trader.
But traders agreed that the "extreme volatility and speculation" currently dominating commodity and financial markets along with the continuing concern over the impact of a global economic crisis put trade on hold.
"We placed some yellow corn orders, but with the markets the way it is and all the concern over what really is going to happen, everybody are cautious about their business, nobody wants to take too much of a risk," said another Mexican trader.
The Mexican peso closed at MXN13.4275 to the dollar after hitting a low of MXN13.70 early Friday. This is still stronger than the all-time low of over MXN14.00 earlier this month but weaker than last week's close of MXN12.70.
The Mexican grain market is currently between crops and relies mostly on imported grains until new supply starts flowing by mid-November from the Bajio spring-summer crop, for which harvesting starts by the end of this month.
Soy futures also ended the week on a lower note. November soy settled down 20 3/4 cents at US$8.63 3/4 a bushel, and December soymeal was 70 cents weaker at US$268.30 a short tonne.

The production of cellulosic biofuels often leaves behind solid residues, which can be converted to useful co-products via chemical modification and processing. The objective of this study was to examine the changes in hydroxyl accessibility of a hardwood after the extraction of fermentable sugars (saccharification). Saccharification was performed on milled and dilute-acid pretreated aspen wood and resulted in a glucan-to-glucose conversion of 91%. The unhydrolyzed (solid) fraction was then analyzed for hydroxyl availability using an acetylation method, and the data were related to information of accessible pore volume evaluated using nitrogen adsorption. Different pore volumes were also created by oven-, air-, or freeze-drying of the samples. The results showed that more hydroxyls are available if the physical accessibility (pore volume) of a given substrate is better preserved. Upon saccharification, the accessible hydroxyls were reduced by at least half of that in untreated wood, while the specific pore volume increased 10 times. This finding suggests that future strategies for utilizing saccharification residues for co-products should tap the increased porosity and lower polarity of the substrate.

Carrie and Cameron Gibson of Bread Zepplin bakery in Sheridan are proving that just because you live in a small town doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy great bread.
Bread Zepplin (and yes, it’s spelled that way) opened in January at 109 S. Main St. and is named in honor of the classic-rock band Led Zeppelin.
The bakery’s specialty is artisan, rustic-style bread — in the form of French, sesame, garlic, olive and other loaves, along with a lavender bread that Carrie says is ideal for making a killer French toast.
“It’s heaven,” said Carrie of the French toast, adding that the bread is also delectable when topped with honey.
In addition to its breads, sweet bakes and breakfast food, the fast-casual eatery serves signature sandwiches, each named after a Led Zeppelin song, including Whole Lotta Love — featuring roast beef, pepper jack cheese, pickle, onion, and creamy horseradish sauce — and the Immigrant Song — a sandwich served cold on olive bread with thinly sliced ham, gouda cheese, sliced apples and honey mustard.
The Gibsons moved to Sheridan in the summer of 2018. Previously they lived on a farm near Yosemite National Park. There Cameron worked for an electric company while Carrie tended to the farm where she grew organic vegetables, raised dairy goats, and baked bread for a local farm stand.
The Gibsons’ first introduction to Montana came when their daughter moved to Silver Star a few years ago. They traveled to the Ruby Valley to visit their daughter, and although it was their first visit, they ended up buying a house before the trip was over. In all, Carrie said, it took them about a year to fully move and settle into their new life.
“We drove through (the Ruby Valley) and were in awe,” said Carrie. “We fell in love with this area immediately. We knew we were meant to be here.”
After moving to the Ruby Valley, the Gibsons began selling bread during summer farmers’ markets. But the idea for the bakery didn’t come about until the two realized that it would be difficult to reach customers during the winter.
Fortuitously, a building next to Ruby Valley Brew, Sheridan’s Main Street brewery, became available, enabling the couple to hit the ground running.
Meanwhile, Carrie said, Cameron was on the hunt for a great pastrami sandwich. He searched high and low for the elusive culinary delight, and when he couldn’t find a sandwich that met his expectations, he decided to take things into his own hands by coming up with Bread Zepplin’s pastrami sandwich, known as the Stairway to Heaven.
Before opening the bakery, the Gibsons collaborated with Ruby Valley Brew on the idea of integrating spent grain from the brewing process into some kind of bread. The Gibsons came up with a recipe that includes the spent grain, along with whole-wheat flour and molasses. Thus, the bakery’s Man Bread was born.
“We were talking to the old brewmaster one afternoon and many afternoons about the similarities between bread and beer,” said Cameron, describing how the collaboration got started. “When we got it right, one of the old guys there (a brewery customer) says, ‘this is really good, you ought to call it man bread.’”
Today Bread Zepplin continues its collaboration with the brewery, cutting a hole in the wall so that the bakery can serve street tacos and other fare to brewery customers directly during Ruby Valley’s weekly trivia night, live music showcases, and other special events.
According to his wife Carrie, Cameron is a lifelong lover of rock 'n' roll. He’s also a classically trained violinist and plays fiddle for the local ensemble Steve Rose and The Buffalo Nickel Band.
In keeping with the rock 'n' roll theme, the bakery boasts a steampunk vibe with a mixture of antique and industrial décor.
The bakery also has a “wall of fame,” featuring black-and-white photographs of famous rock performers – Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Page, and Eddie Van Halen, to name a few.
Cameron created many of the decorative elements inside the bakery, including several light fixtures composed of antique pulley systems threaded with electrical wire and suspending exposed light bulbs. Dangling from one of the fixtures are two giant Edison-style bulbs with visible filaments.
As for Carrie, she said bread baking has been a long-term obsession of hers.
“I’ve always baked bread. That’s just what I do. It’s who I am,” she said.
