Why would a gray squirrel kill another squirrel?

Topic: Squirrels

May 27, 2013

why would a gray squirrel kill and chew off the head of another gray squirrel I saw this happen I never seen this before it happened at the welcome center in KY

elizabeth - USA

Sometimes male squirrels will fight with rivals and sometimes get pretty nasty, such that they kill them. Females will also fight to defend their your. Males will also sometimes kill the young of rival male.

You wouldn't think squirrels would do such things, but it is not uncommon with other animal species.

What are types of behavior?

Topic: Special Types

November 23, 2012

types of behavior? please help

Don Henry - Philippines

Behavior is how a person acts and responds to some stimulus.

One view is that there are three main types of behavior: passive, assertive, and aggressive. This concerns how people act toward activities and other people. There can also be a combination of those types.

There is also a view that a person behaves according to his or her personality.

Finally, there is the view that people behave according to their training, as well as their personality. For example, an aggressive child may be taught to behave in a better manner.

As you can see, it can be a complex topic.

How did squirrel know there were seeds in the feeder?

Topic: Squirrels

May 15, 2012

my bird feeder has been empty at least two weeks now.i put new seed in this morning at about eleven oclock i hadd a squarelin did he know there was new seed in it.before for two weeks no sign of the rodent.thank you.

forest - USA

Squirrels have good noses and can smell the seeds. Their good sense of smell is how they find the nuts they bury.

The squirrel could have been doing his daily rounds and could smell that you had put the bird seeds in the feeder.

Are our behaviors genetically inherited?

Topic: Special Types

April 2, 2012

my question is, Are our behaviors genetically inherited or are as a result of the environment? has culture played some roles in the formation of our behaviors, how?

Katandi - Uganda

There has been a debate among scientists concerning behavior called "Nature versus Nurture". In other words, whether it is .

For some types of behavior, genetics plays a major role, while other behaviors it is the environment or training that determines the behavior. So, in all behaviors, the result is a mixture of genetics and environment in varying proportions.

For example, young children behave in a basically selfish manner. However, over the years, they learn to have a behavior of sharing with others. Of course, there are some adults who never learn to share.

A culture sets rules and standards where they expect members to adhere to those standards. A person who does not adapt his behavior to cultural rules can be ostracized from the group.

Squirrel wanted to come into my house

Topic: Squirrels

April 1, 2012

There was a squirrel that was on my porch the other day and when I approached he hid behind the large flower pots and even tried to jump into a closed window. That seemed normal to me but when I walked away I thought it would run off but I checked a couple of minutes later and it was still on the porch but now sitting next to the door. Eventually he left.
I then went inside and had left the door slightly open and as I was going back out, there he was. He looked as if he was about to come inside if I hadn't shown up in the doorway. It seemed odd to me. Also he seemed to have a skin issue and not a lot of fur on his back and tail. Is he diseased? - thanks for your help

Greg - USA

I used to feed squirrels peanuts on our back porch. Certain squirrels would come at specific times of the day. However, soon they got brave and would come right inside when I opened the screen door. Since then, I stopped feeding them, but occasionally one would come up to the door like the "good old days".

It is possible that someone in your neighborhood has been feeding the squirrels, so this fellow though he'd try a different house.

Some squirrels can get skin disease or mites that cause the skin to get raw or to lose some hair. It isn't anything to worry about, although it may be uncomfortable for the little critter.

Want to bring 10 squirrels with us when we move

Topic: Squirrels

October 20, 2011

we have about 10-15 squirrels that are pets we rescued as babies from hurricane ike years ago. they live in the backyard as wild and free as they should ...but they are tame ,friendly and we know them by name as we give them fruits and nuts daily . here is my question...we are thinking about moving across town. but my husband will not move if we cant bring his squirrels with us... is it possible to move them with us ??? and if so any advice on how to ...

tawnee - USA

Squirrels get very friendly and set up a regular visiting schedule if they know you will feed them. I know that you can get attached to these little friends.

One problem you might have is catching the squirrels. Since they are outside, they are also somewhat independent with their own lives. They also probably have nests made in the nearby trees.

Another problem I see concerns the other squirrels who live in the new area. There may be some territorial fights when new squirrels are introduced.

But still, it may be possible if you bring some to the new place, release them and feed them right away, so they know where the food source is. You might be able to do it a little at a time.

Best wishes in deciding if to move your squirrels. Let me know how things work out.

Squirrels come to visit every day

Topic: Squirrels

October 12, 2011

I have several trees in my backyard -- and a couple of squirrels seem to live in one and visit daily. I've left a few roasted peanuts for them on the fence. Sometimes at midday, both will come rushing along the backyard fence from neighbors' yards and rush up a tree.
At other times, one squirrel will be in yard when I come out to sit and it will bury nuts/seeds in the lawn. Then rush up a tree and rush down and turn flips in the air. Sometimes it rushes around the yard and then rushes up to within 3 feet of me and crouches. I can't tell if it's just playing, wants food or is about to attack? It doesn't seem afraid. If i make loud noise, if only backs off a few feet. Any advice would be helpful!

Squirrels tend to have regular routines. If you put out the peanuts at a given time, they will come at that time, expecting their treat.

Younger squirrels like to play by chasing each other up and down a tree and sometimes doing flips and such.

Blue Jays like to watch the squirrels bury their nuts and often go to dig them up right afterwards.

When the squirrels come up to you, it is probably checking to see if you have some more nuts to eat.

They are fun animals to watch.

Are their two types of behavior: good and bad?

Topic: Special Types

September 20, 2011

How if we say there are two types of behaviour,which are
a.Proper or good behaviour.
b.Improper or bad behaviour.
I'm I correct?

Japhet - Tanzania

In general, behavior concerns how a person or animal responds to external stimuli and actions.

When you start to judge whether the behavior of a person is good or bad, you are talking about the person's character. See Succeed with Positive Character for more information.

Also note that there may be situations where the behavior is not really proper or improper.

Squirrel seen carrying another squirrel in its mouth

Topic: Squirrels

September 14, 2011

my friend observed a squirrel carrying what appeared to be another squirrel,alive, in its mouth.the squirrel being carried was in a ball. we were wondering is this something they do with the injured, or the young to transport them? we found it rather odd but interesting as we had not seen this before. please advise, the curiosity is killing us! thanks!

suzanne - Canada

In the Spring, mother squirrels may carry your squirrels from one place to another. However, squirrels also can be cannibals. When a squirrel is carrying a full-sized squirrel, it is either injured or dead. Typically, the squirrel being carried will be eaten in some safe location.

How could I follow the virtue Chastity?

Topic: Franklin's Virtues

October 5, 2012

How could I follow the virtue Chastity? Won't my wife will be unhappy if I only use venery for offspring (i.e. sex once in 6 months)? Please answer me. I REALLY want to conserve my SEXUAL ENERGY as much as possible and to transmute them (chapter 11 in Think and Grow Rich). I am unmarried and not in arelationship with any woman.

Shakkhor - Bangladesh

Chastity refers to the sexual behavior of a man or woman that is acceptable to the moral standards and guidelines of a culture or religion. Although it usually include refraining from sex before marriage, some cultures and religions allow it.

It is natural for a young man to have much sexual energy, so trying to hold it back does not really conserve the energy. In fact, in some cases trying to conserve sexual energy results in frustration. For a married man to have sex only every 6 months is not normal and makes both the man and woman unhappy.

Seek a good and natural relationship with a woman that is acceptable to your religion and culture. Many men do that and are satisfied in their lives.

Is being a virgin a sign of good character?

Topic: General

August 21, 2012

being virgin a girl can be titled good character girl.
if she loses her virginity that means bad character.
Leaving her lover,love only just because not to hurt her parents resembles sign of a bad character or what.

nisha - India

Many cultures believe that an unmarried girl should remain a virgin until she is married. But sometimes a girl can lose her virginity to a man she plans to marry. That does not mean she has bad character, especially if they do get married.

However, a girl who has sex with many men can be considered having poor character among others in her culture.

Although it is good to try to please your parents and not want to hurt them, they need to realize that you have your own life to live. Sometimes parents forget that their children must make their own decisions.

Virtues are a mold to live by

Topic: Franklin's Virtues

February 26, 2012

the virtues and the ten commandments are a mold to live our live's by. Being a good, just and charitable person will give all a life very close to the mold we have set to live our live's by. Being of moral character and a patriot to the republic makes the U.S.A. a great country to live , we should all contribute to the priviledge of being a citizen, free and given the chance to prosper.

Do people caught stealing go to jail?

Topic: Stealing

December 12, 2011

The people that get caught do they go to jail or do they have tobe on house arres?.....

Stacey - USA

Some stores like Wal-Mart are cracking down on shoplifters and will call the police if they catch one. After checking if the person is a repeat offender, the police will usually take the person's name and perhaps give a ticket. Sometimes they just give a warning. Other times the shoplifter will have to go to court and get a fine to pay. Seldom is a person put in jail for a first offense.

Other type of stealing, like breaking into a house or robbing a person, is handled much more seriously. Still, the person is required to go to court and may get a fine or even be sent to jail.

House arrest is only used as a special form of punishment instead of jail.

My friend got caught stealing

Topic: Stealing

October 12, 2011

Hi , yesterday one of my friend who lives in pennsylvania , caught while shoplifting and she got arrested and police has taken her photo id and her fingerprint and then they released...stating she will get a letter from the court ...she stole ear rings of worth $140 , actually she is in phone and she is not paying attention to the things she is buying and she has already bought one ear rings from the macys and she stayed there for another 30 minutes if she want to steal one more ear rings , she would have already be out of the store earlier but she did not have any intention of stealing..can you give me the best possible solution .....and she is an international student and she is on F-1 status....

xxx - USA

Unfortunately, we have received a number of letters from international students who were caught shoplifting. It is not a good situation for anyone, especially someone in a foreign country.

If it truly was a careless mistake, it was extremely careless to examine something in a store and then walk out with it, not realizing she did not pay for the ear rings.

Her best course of action is to hire a lawyer and try to plead her case that it was an accident and that she would pay for the ear rings. Her counselor at school is a good place to start for getting advice in this situation.

It is unlikely she would be put in jail, although she may get a fine. But the big problem is the possibility of having her visa taken away and having to leave the country.

I hope everything works out for your friend and that this will be a lesson learned for her.

How many character traits can a person have?

Topic: Traits

August 22, 2011

how many character traits can 1 peron have my teacher told me to pull up this site and see what character of traits i posses what does that mean.

robyn - USA

There are long lists of possible character traits. However, we've tried to narrow the list down. The lesson Three Character Trait Classifications gives and overview of some of the possible character traits.

Examples of personal character traits are whether you are hard working or lazy, conscientious or careless, and courageous or cowardly. Social character traits include whether you are honest or dishonest and whether you are harmful or helpful to other people.

There are many character traits that are in between the extremes. For example, a person might act lazy about something she doesn't like to do but be ambition for things she likes.

It is good to study your own behavior to know more about yourself.

How do I develop good character?

Topic: General

August 13, 2011

Please, outline for me ways of developing good character? Thanks

- South Sudan

There are a number of character traits that will help your individual performance. Some of these are working hard, doing a good job, being conscientious, and being courageous.

There are also positive character traits for dealing with other people. Some are to be honest, do not harm others, and to be helpful.

Finally, there are rules to follow to be a good member of your society and religion.

Realizing what is good behavior in each of those areas and following those values will help you be considered as a person with good character. And that will lead to success in what you do.

What does being responsible mean?

Topic: Responsible

April 27, 2011

I am doing a paper that relates to this topic and I would like to know further about being responsible means. Is being responsible can bring one to be success? Is being responsible person is more important than being successful person? How do you think that success is related to responsibility of a person?
I hope that I can get an acknowledgement from you soon. Thank you for your help.

Cindy - Malaysia

A person who is responsible acknowledges his or her role in doing things. If something goes wrong, it means not making excuses. It is also feeling like you are in control of a situation as opposed to feeling you are a victim.

Being responsible means you are accountable. In a business or a job, the person in charge is responsible for what is done.

Taking responsibility means that you grow from what you do, as well as mistakes you make. It is a good character trait to have to help you become successful.

Successful people are usually responsible for their success.

I used to steal

Topic: Stealing

April 7, 2011

used to steal and now everyone in my class acuse me for missing propeties. What can I do?

- UK

One of the biggest problems with stealing is that you can get a reputation of being a thief. Even if you no longer steal and are very honest, there still will be people who suspect you of being a thief, especially if something is missing.

You need to go out of your way to show you are honest. If something is missing, you may even offer to help find it or find who stole it.

It will take a long time to get your reputation back. But after a while others will forget, especially if he really show you are honest.

Best wishes on getting others to trust you again.

What is a trustworthy marriage?

Topic: Honesty

March 26, 2011

What is a trustworthy marriage or family spiritualy?

victor - Zimbabwe

A trustworthy marriage is when each person trusts the other to be honest and honorable. When one person does not tell the truth or violates the marriage vow, the marriage is not trustworthy. However, if one asks for forgiveness, the trust can build over time.

Family spirituality can relate to good religious values, as well a good character and cooperation. You have a good spiritual family relationship when you are all at peace with each other, as well as yourself. There is the spirit of cooperation between husband and wife, as well as the children. You are all together for the good of the family.

Utility failure

Actions you should take if a power failure, water leak or flooding occurs.

Power failures

There are two basic causes of power failures:

  • Faults are mainly caused by accidents or weather conditions. If your power lines are overhead, there is a greater chance of problems.
  • Overloads occur when the demand for electricity exceeds the capacity of the distribution system to supply it.

In either case, protection equipment operates to switch off supply to limit any damage and prevent further problems.

Faults and overloads can occur inside your own building or can affect entire regions. This can have a knock on affect to building utilities, air-conditioning, lifts, sewage system, lighting, fridges and freezers.

Please be aware that some telephones that are landline based may not function as a result of the power failure. In the event that you need to contact someone close by, you may need to allocate a runner to communicate with other areas.

Emergency action

  1. Contact maintenance to determine cause of failure.
  2. Call security on 966.
  3. Locate torches.
  4. Undertake a search to check that a fire has not resulted from an overload or is the reason for power failure.
  5. Check if there are people stuck in lifts and note the location,
  • do not attempt to free people yourself
  • assign people to maintain contact with people in the lift
  • report to UniSafe / Maintenance.
  1. Cease laboratory work.
  2. Make sure that any machinery is placed in ‘safe mode’ or in a position where it will not inadvertently start when the power is restored.
  3. If you go ahead with partial evacuation of a building floor, do so by word of mouth.
  4. Complete Building evacuation shall take place if:
  • power outage has affected the entire complex and building is not fitted with a backup generator within 25 minutes of outage. Emergency lighting that relies on battery power will last between 30 – 90 minutes.
  • This is important for multi-storey complexes that have internal stairwells, as these will become pitch black making it difficult to get out.
  • Occupants should take personal belongings.
  • The fire alarm system shall only be activated where lives are threatened by fire or gas.
  • Ensure persons who have a disability or need assistance are helped from the building. Do not lift or carry person down stairwell. Assign a buddy to person, note location and inform the building warden.
  • Liaise with Emergency Services/Lift Service people/UniSafe/Maintenance.
  1. Assemble at the main entrance of the complex for non-emergency situations or the standard assembly points for emergency situations.

General suggestions

  • Switch off all electrical appliances, especially those that have heating elements.
  • Unplug 'surge-sensitive' equipment, such as computers and video recorders.
  • Keep one light switch turned on so you know when the power returns.
  • Turn on a battery operated radio and listen to a local radio station for information if everyone has lost power.

Water Leaks or Flooding

Floods caused by domestic systems usually do not endanger people but can cause extensive damage to buildings and equipment.

Safety issues

  • What is in the water? Has it mixed with dangerous chemicals, sewerage, etc.?
  • What is floating in the water which you cannot see?
  • How deep is the water? You might not be able to see the large hole or basement stairs covered in water. Access pit lids usually float off in flooded water.
  • Is the water live with electricity? For floods inside buildings, this is especially dangerous with most power points and power boards close to the floor.

Emergency action

  1. Turn off water at source if possible.
  2. If possible, isolate electrical sources at the switch board or call maintenance.
  3. If available and considered useful, local spill kits should be used to restrict the flow of water.
  4. Isolate area by closing doors.
  5. Call Security on 966 and maintenance on 87925.
  6. Consider evacuation:
  • partial evacuation of floor by word of mouth
  • do not use lifts, use stairwell unaffected of flooding where possible.
  1. Don't move people from safety to danger!

Two Is Stronger Than One: Shared Experiences are More Intense

image source: heartofthematteronline.comAre life’s experiences better when shared with another person? Participants at Yale University tasted chocolate in a room either (a) along with another person tasting their own chocolate, or (b) with another person who looked at a book of paintings. Participants who ate chocolate with a fellow taster thought the chocolate tasted better than those who tasted chocolate alone. To determine others’ influence on unpleasant experiences, a follow-up study used a similar procedure, but had participants taste a highly bitter chocolate. As before, having a fellow taster present intensified the experience, in this case making the chocolate taste worse.

April 26, 2005

You just have to smile at this. Edited from footage that was originally intended as a pilot for a TV series (and based on material developed by Robert A. Heinlein), we've got a spunky female heroine in charge (and in very cute shorts), stalwart male characters, an evil spy, romance, a fight in space... Don't take it seriously. It's just good campy fun.

My main goal is to bring more publicity to MMA in my area and to the sport as a whole as all of us involved with the sport are merely scratching the surface and laying the foundation of what mixed martial arts competition will be further down the road.

Warm Mediterranean Red Quinoa Salad with Arugula & Aparagus

When I cook dinner, I like to prepare healthy, vegan, and gluten-free whenever possible. I also seem to have a tendency to make one-bowl meals since they are not only easy to prepare (no need for a recipe!), they are hard to mess up, and are really satisfying.

Quinoa has always been a favorite of mine. It's nutritious (a great source of iron!) and super easy to digest and it's nutty flavor is is very adaptable. Just add veggies, protein, and any flavor profile, and you've got yourself a meal!

Warm Mediterranean Red Quinoa Salad with Arugula (Rough) Recipe

  • Quinoa (use about 1 dry cup per 2 servings as a main dish)
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic
  • Crushed red pepper
  • Fresh basil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Vegetables (chopped in bite sized pieces; use veggies of your choice like asparagus, broccoli, arugula, spinach, cauliflower, kalamata olives, red peppers,  etc.)
  • Fresh arugula and chopped tomatoes

  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions.
  2. Chop veggies into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat oil in pan, add crushed red pepper, and garlic, sauté. Add veggies. Cook until tender, but still crispy. Add basil and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
  4. Add cooked quinoa to the pan with veggies, add salt and pepper, and sauté for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. To plate, either top arugula with quinoa salad, or top quinoa with a garnish of chopped arugula. Add chopped, fresh tomatoes and serve.

What We Ate: Memorial Day Weekend

A dear friend of ours is heading north for greener pastures, so a few of us met for brunch at Mi Lah. I ordered my old standby, baked tofu with hollandaise sauce and miso braised kale.

Waffles with Yard's beer-battered seitan, ordered by Åsa.

Vegan taquitos and quesadillas for Miss Kara.

Ladies chatting over vegan cake at Grindcore House in Philly. Most of that cake went home to the little ones; I was stuffed! (Oh, and they have Grindcore House hooded sweatshirts now... I predict that Mr. Scissors will be buying one real soon!)

Mr. Scissors cooked! Well, he made a salad for a family gathering. We joked that it took him an hour to make so we affectionately called it, "The One-Hour Salad."

I made ganche stuffed espresso cookies for a family cook out. They were a hit. Recipe up soon!

Take a Number and Get Hitched

If you know someone having a birthday, getting hitched, or celebrating a June anniversay, this vintage Danish Bjorn Wiinblad "Juni" plaque is a perfect sentimenital and thrifty gift for them (and now at a lower price!).

These quaint, hand-painted vintage metal house numbers, originally sold as a set, are now available for individual sale. Three different styles available. Pick yours here, and here, and here.

Keeping it Local at Highland Orchards

'Tis that time of the year! Time to buy local produce! We're fortunate to live not too far from a local farm in Delaware, Highland Orchards. During the summer, I try to buy as much produce from them as possible. Fresh, local strawberries put all those semi-red, white-in-the-middle grocery store strawberries to shame! There is no comparison.

Highland sells lots of baked goods as well. Most have eggs, but their cider bread is vegan and my kids ate about half of the mini-loaf on the way home.

Random Thursday: Food, Food, Food, Moons & Flowers

The view from my hotel room during my mom's day getaway.

Peonies! Peonies! Beautiful peonies in my backyard!

My little adventurous eater testing my "White Bean Mediterranean Hummus." Parents of picky eaters, have faith! This girl used to be so picky and she will eat most anything now. I'm really happy how much she has changed.

The thyme in our backyard is doing very well. It survived from last year, all through the mild winter and is quite happy back there.

Udon salad from HipCityVeg picnic in Rittenhouse Square on a Saturday afternoon.

A quick mixed green salad with baked Gardein.

A non-fish sauce papaya salad from a new take out in Wilmington, DE, Southeast Kitchen.

Mr. Scissors had a man-date tonight, so for dinner, I made a quick dinner of chickpea "tuna" salad with tomato and mache lettuce on sesame Ezekiel bread. So good!

Etsy Find: Misako Mimoko

I'm not exactly sure how I came across Barcelona's Eva Monleón's Etsy shop, Misako Mimoko, but whenever it was, it was certainly love at first sight! Her whimsical and happy designs (like Gertrudis, the decorative wall hanger) are so clever and inspiring, it will make you want to start crafting yourself... or at least snatch up one of her creations for yourself! Head on over to her shop to check it out!

She also runs a super cute blog: www.misakomimoko.blogspot.com

An Entire Weekend Without a Camera

Sorry I have been MIA lately. The weather has been too beautiful to blog! Plus, with the end of the school year coming up (whaaa?), my son recouping from strep, and having to pick of the pieces after my wallet and phone were stolen out of my car, it's been a little busy around here.

Since our weekend schedules are pretty jammed until the end of the summer, we used our last free weekend to set sails for a close-to-home adventure at Ft. Delaware on Pea Patch Island in the middle of the Delaware River. It was originally built as a union fortress to protect Philadelphia and Wilmington, but was used to house confederate prisoners during the civil war. Really interesting history. We all had our favorite parts of the trip, and mine was the boat ride. I just love being on the water; I think it's a part of my Azorian DNA. Totally forgot to bring a camera, but fortunately, Mr. Scissors had his phone and I snapped off these photos with it.

Vegan Brunch at Mi Lah in Philadelphia, PA

Well, hello Billy Penn!
Vegetables wrapped in phyllo dough on top of mashed potatoes, kale, and cashew gravy.

Coconut bronzed oyster mushrooms
Vegan French toast
Indonesian breakfast plate
My lovely family took me out for brunch at Mi Lah in Philadelphia on Mother's Day. Since I've done a couple of reviews on the restaurant (here, here, and here), I thought I would just show you a few new dishes (and that lovely French toast--always a favorite!).

The prize winner of the day was the Indonesian breakfast plate. Both Mr. Scissors and I agreed that the coconut curry was out of this world. Little Spice ate most of the tofu, which she said was now her favorite. The potato croquettes we nice and crispy, but could have used a dipping sauce to accompany them.

The phyllo dough plate was kind of a mix of American comfort food mixed with a slight Asian flair; it was interesting. Some of the best vegan mashed potatoes I had were hidden under the kale. The gravy was mild and I thought could have a used a bit more deeper of a flavor, but overall it was still very tasty.

After brunch, we strolled around the Rittenhouse Square and had a relaxing time sitting on the grass with all the other families. It was such a nice day!

A Quick Visit to HipCityVeg

This weekend, the family and I were hanging out in Rittenhouse Square in Philly, and before we headed home, my husband suggested that we grab a quick bite from HipCityVeg, a new plant-based eatery on 18th Street. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical because some friends of mine had a few things from the cafe, but weren't impressed. However, Mr. Scissors assured me that an associate of his is a regular there and loves it.

We ordered a "Crispy HipCity Ranch" ($8.50) and the "Curry Tofu Wrap" ($8.00). Holy. The ranch chicken sandwich was ay-may-zin! Mr. Scissors took one bite and said, "Oh yeah!" I grabbed it from him, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Oh my god! That tastes like KFC!" The best part of the sandwich was the char of on the chk'n patty. Now, I know there's a connection between Vedge/Horizons and HipCityVeg (HCV is owned by a former Horizon's employee and Rich Landau from Vedge consulted on the menu), and I could taste that connection through the style of the char. If you ever had the pleasure of having the seitan at Vedge or the former Horizons, you know that is the simply world's best. That charred patty is reminiscent of that seitan.

Next, I tested the curry tofu wrap with sprouts, spinach, tomato, cilantro-white bean purée, and cucumber raita. Now, I cut my cooking teeth learning how to cook Indian, so I may be a bit harder on this one. The tofu was awesome. Soft, but with a bit of that nice char flavor. The curry was tad grainy, but overall the flavor was really nice, mellow and balanced.

I was particularly interested in the raita and how it would work in the wrap. It seemed less of a raita and more of a chopped, crunchy cucumber. I felt the crunch was more distracting than complementing. If the cucumbers were peeled, grated, drained and then combined with the yogurt (and perhaps some dry roasted black mustard seeds for a bit more of flavor kick?), it would have meshed better with the tofu. Overall, I thought the wrap was good though, it just needs a little tweaking. And, oh yeah, the wheat wrap itself was really cold; it should have been warmed more before it was grilled.

Would I go back? Yes! The cafe is in my favorite part of city, just down the block from Anthropologie, right near Rittenhouse Square, and it's so nice to have a vegan place to grab a reasonably-priced bite. I can't wait to go back and try more!

Baked Tofu with Stir-fried Spinach, Water Chestnuts, & Soba Noodles

Truth be told, I barely use cookbooks, except for baking, but since I barely bake anymore, my cookbook shelf is pretty neglected. With busy schedules, kids running around, and lack of the desire to do real meal planning, I wing every meal for the most part. Sometimes that approach works, sometimes it doesn't. This time it did.

Baked Tofu with Stir-fried Spinach, Water Chestnuts, & Soba Noodles (A loose recipe!) (vegan)

I had some baked tofu on hand and I started by roughly chopping it and sauteing with lots of fresh ginger, red pepper flakes, and a touch of sesame oil until it developed a char. Then I add water chestnuts, two bags of baby spinach, and then deglazed the pan with Bragg's liquid aminos. When the spinach wilted, I added hoison sauce, mirin, and Sriracha. Originally, I had planned on serving this either by itself or with rice, but it was caling out for buckwheat soba noodles. Once the noodles were cooked, I added them to the veggie/tofu mixture, coated the noodles with the sauce, and then topped each plate with with sesame gomashio. Mmm! Warm, healthy, and comforting!

Summer Party Place Setting Inspiration for Your Table

I am not quiet about it, I heart West Elm. Since we were in Philly this weekend, I decided to swing by their lovely store on Sansom Street where I fell in love with this creative and easy to duplicate tabletop display that would be perfect for a summer party, bridal or baby shower, or even a casual backyard wedding.

The place cards (which also could double as a party favor) were simply coffee mugs filled with a tiny planted succulent accented by a wooden popsicle stick and name tag. The centerpiece is unexpected and festive; fill a series of glass bottles with various shades of colored water and stagger them down the center of your table. So easy, right? You don't even need to be crafty to decorate for your next party!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies, hope-to-be-mommies, and soon-to-be-mommies. You all work very hard and deserve some pampering this weekend. X and O!

 Mr. Scissors is an awesome dad and husband and is gifting me 24 hours to myself for mom's day. So I am hanging out with my girls, relaxing in my hotel, getting my nails done and will be perusing the Art Star Craft Bazaar! On Mother's day, we will be dining at one of my favorite places, Sprig and Vine! The weather is supposed to be great this weekend, so I am very happy, so I guess that means everyone is happy! :)

See you all next week! What are you doing special for your mom or what great things did you do with your kiddos this weekend?

Spotted: Cooking in Style on Mad Men

Photo Credit: Viral Vintage

Mr. Scissors and I are having our Monday night viewing of Mad Men and I scream out, "PAUSE IT! REWIND IT!"
"Why?" he asks.
"MEGAN! She's cooking with a Dansk Kobenstyle pot!"
"Sigh..." he, well, sighs.

Get the look! There are some great deals on ebay, like this yellow 5 Qt. yellow Kobenstyle Dutch oven being sold by Viral Vintage.

If you prefer not to cook with used pots, well, you are in luck because Crate and Barrel will be carrying Dansk's new Kobenstyle line in the near future! (I love, love, love you Crate and Barrel! I seriously want to move into the King of Prussia store.)

Potato Hash with Brussels, Bac'n, Rosemary, & White Beans Recipe

Mr. Scissors is easy to please; he'd just eat steamed vegetables every night if I could be that simple. But, I just can't. So, instead of just steaming potatoes and brussels for dinner, I decided to make a baked hash and added a healthy dose of protein with tempeh bacon and white beans. With an unexpected combo of balsamic vinegar, mustard, rosemary and sage, the flavors all mesh together to create a comforting, satisfying, and earthy dish.

Baked Potato Hash with Brussels, Bac'n, Rosemary, & White Beans Recipe (vegan)
Serves 4

  • 2 TB mustard (preferably brown)
  • 3 TB balsamic vinegar
  • 3-4 TB olive oil
  • 2 tsp rosemary, crushed
  • 1 tsp dry sage
  • sea salt to taste
  • fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • about 5 cups of shaved (or finely chopped) brussels sprouts
  • 4 small to medium sized Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 package of tempeh bacon
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped and sauteed (optional)
  • 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 chopped walnuts, toasted (optional)

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Spray a medium-sized casserole dish with oil. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, oil, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Toss in brussels, potatoes, and onions (if using) and mix well.
  3. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven, toss in beans, and mix. Cover with aluminum foil and place back in oven for 40 minutes (remove once during the final baking time to stir).
  5. To serve, dress with a generous drizzle of balsamic vinegar and top with walnuts.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes (Oct. 4, 1822 - Jan. 17, 1893)

Rutherford B. HayesRutherford Birchard Hayes, 19th president of the United States, was born in Delaware, Ohio. In 1838 Hayes entered Kenyon College at Gambier, Ohio, and in 1842 graduated at the head of his class. After a disappointing year of reading law in Columbus, he entered the Harvard Law School, studied under Simon Greenleaf and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, and received his bachelor of laws degree in 1845.

Hayes first practiced law in Birchard's little town of Lower Sandusky (now Fremont), Ohio, but in 1850 he moved to Cincinnati.

Beginning in 1853 Hayes defended runaway slaves, and later, seeking to prevent the spread of slavery into western territories, he joined the Republican Party. From 1858 to 1861 Hayes served as Cincinnati's city solicitor. The attack of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, however, infuriated him. On June 27, he was commissioned a major in the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. An inspirational leader in battle, Hayes served four years, was wounded five times, was brevetted major general and emerged from the war a member of Congress.

In 1867 Hayes resigned from Congress to run for governor of Ohio. He was elected and served two terms from 1868 to 1872. He was primarily responsible for the ratification by Ohio of the 15th Amendment and for the establishment of the Ohio State University.

Obnoxious to no one, Hayes recognized that availability was his strength and did little to secure the nomination for president in 1876. When more powerful candidates failed, availability worked, and Hayes received the nomination.

In deciding issues, Hayes was principled yet practical, cautious yet courageous. Once he made up his mind he was firm and consistent. He did not panic under stress, endured criticism and hostility, was slow to anger and bore few grudges. He was a patient reformer, confident that ultimately his goals would be achieved. Because of these attitudes, Hayes succeeded so far as the circumstances of his presidency allowed.

For those experiencing hard times, Reconstruction and corruption were not important issues. Wage cuts, unemployment, and shrinking incomes led to the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, to agitation against Chinese laborers in California and to demands for currency expansion. The reaction of Hayes to these problems was tempered by moderation and practicality. His restrained, legalistic response to the Great Strike saved lives and property.

Near the end of his administration, Hayes claimed that his hard-money stance and especially the resumption of specie payments, which in January 1879 placed the United States back on the gold standard, had restored the confidence of investors and the business community. With abundant capital and low interest rates, industries were thriving, railroads expanding, and foreign trade increasing.

Although his southern policy failed to secure obedience to the Reconstruction amendments, Hayes never abandoned his commitment to civil rights and to equal educational and economic opportunities for all Americans. He was conscientious, humane and just. He urged that federal subsidies be given to poor states and territories so that all children could receive a quality education.

In retirement Hayes vigorously advocated a larger role for the federal government in promoting the public welfare. Having as president signed the Arrears of Pension Act (1879), he continued his fight to better support needy veterans. His denunciation of giant monopolistic corporations and his support of federal regulation of industry (for example, the 1887 Interstate Commerce Act), make Hayes a precursor of progressivism.

Believing that education would ultimately cure most of the problems in American society, Hayes made it his hobby. Even when president, he was a conscientious trustee of the Peabody Fund, which supported the education of southern blacks and whites.

A few months after his 70th birthday, an attack of angina pectoris felled him in Cleveland, where he was on Ohio State University business. The pain was intense, but, after some brandy, he insisted on returning home to Spiegel Grove, where he died.

I do understand life becomes busy with sports, vacations, work, etc however that conflict is something that can be avoided by proper planning.

 Class is exciting and fun and I look forward to getting to know you and your pup in class!

Kirsty Gallacher strips down for her first naked shoot as she rates herself ‘seven out of 10’

THE stunning Scots presenter showed off her athletic frame as she was pictured balancing on her tip-toes for Women's Health magazine.

Kirsty Gallacher appears completely naked in Women's Health

KIRSTY GALLACHER looks incredible as she shows off her athletic frame in her first naked photo shoot.

The glamorous Sky Sports presenter bared all for the September issue of Women's Health where she is seen balancing perfectly on her tip-toes.

Kirsty's incredible figure is on full show as she stands to the side and glances over one shoulder.

Women’s Health / John Wright

But if you thought Kirsty's gorgeous body made her feel super confident - you'd be wrong.

"If I was going to rate my body confidence out of 10, I’d say seven," she told the magazine.

The 39-year-old split from ex Paul Sampson after a 14-year relationship last August, and credits hitting the gym with helping her through the divorce.

She continued: "This time last year, it would have been much lower, but after a divorce and juggling full-time work with two kids, I made the decision to start channeling my energy into positive things, and that includes getting into shape."

The Scot's stunning shoot was kept ultra simple - making sure all eyes were on her trim body.

Her long dark hair was swept back into a simple ponytail and her makeup was kept minimal, with smoky eyeshadow giving her look a dramatic edge.

Women’s Health / John Wright

She recently told the Daily Express: "When I was going through my divorce, I found it hard so I threw myself into looking after my children, working on my career and my body. Purely to make myself feel I could get through it."

The brunette beauty strips off for the Women's Health Naked issue alongside the likes of model Chrissy Teigen and former The Only Way is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh.

Check out Scotland's sexiest females in the gallery below.

Seven ways get into the festive spirit in Scotland

TRAVEL Writer Robin McKelvie gives his advice on how to get that Christmassy vibe.

Savour Edinburgh’s Christmas

IT'S that time of year again when sleigh bells fill the air and kids and big kids alike get into the festive spirit.

It is not always easy to kick off that festive feeling, though, so here are seven great ways to get that Christmassy vibe.

1. Savour Edinburgh’s Christmas

This is the big one and it’s already in full swing.

Edinburgh’s Christmas these days is a colossal event, which ripples through the city centre right until January 4. It’s all here, from a double decker carousel and a choice of ice rinks, through to Christmas markets, funfair rides, Santa’s Train and yes, of course, Santa’s Grotto.

If you have an EH postcode take proof of that along for 20% off all shows, rides and events. Look out this year too for the Virgin Money Street of Light , which kicks off on St Andrew’s Day on November 30 with 60,000+ lights stretching spectacularly along the Royal Mile.

2. Head to Glasgow

The big festive attraction here is Glasgow Loves Christmas , which has already taken over George Square and will be bustling along right until Hogmanay.

The most striking attraction is the ice rink on Glasgow’s most famous square, which is backed up with funfair rides and festive stalls selling all types of Yuletide food and drink. Energetic visitors can enter Glasgow Santa Dash on December 6.

After registering you’ll need to dig out a Santa costume and get ready for a 5km fun run, which starts and finishes in George Square.

3. Enjoy festive Aberdeen

As part of Aberdeen’s annual Winter Festival,November 26 sees the great Christmas Tree Switch On when the city’s Christmas Tree Lights are turned on by the Lord Provost of Aberdeen and a representative from the Granite City’s twin town of Stavanger in Norway, which every year provides the Christmas spruce tree.

As well as carols on the big night looks out for the Christmas Village, then the Trinity Centre Reindeer Parade on November 29. The same night sees the Christmas Lights Switch On Parade, which last year attracted over 20,000 people.

4. Meet Santa in Dunkeld

Head off to Highland Perthshire, where the kids can come face to face with the main man himself and his reindeer helpers.

The Dunkeld and Birnam Santa Day on December 12 is a brilliant family centred event. Santa and his reindeers set off from the Birnam Hotel at 1pm, then cross over the bridge into Dunkeld to arrive at Santa's Grotto at Drill Hall.

The red coated superstar is trailed by an army of children, all intent on a personal audience with him in Santa's Grotto, which runs from 1.30pm to 4pm. Bigger kids and grown ups can enjoy Dunkeld and Birnam's community Christmas Market. Hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream is nigh obligatory, with all sorts of yummy foodie treats and gifts on offer

5. Meet the Reindeer

The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd come down from their mountain plateau home for their busiest time of the year every December.

You can come face to face with them at the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre in the Cairngorm National Park. In the weeks preceding Christmas the hard working herd tour the country appearing at all sorts of events.

It is great fun seeing them at their home too. I took my young girls there a few years ago and they loved meeting the reindeer and then being pulled along by them in Santa’s sleigh.

6. Shop like a king or queen

The Stirling Castle Christmas Shopping Fayre has to be the most atmospheric festive shopping experience in Scotland.

Here high up in this landmark castle you can delve back through the centuries and dream of long lost monarchs as you shop with a backdrop of ancient battlefields and snow capped mountains.

The big date is December 1, when the castle bursts alive with a tempting smorgasbord of food and drink stalls. Booking is essential with tickets for adults £5. Children under 16 go free.

7. Taste festive Perth

Scotland’s newest city of Perth is renowned as a bit of a foodie destination, which has been recognised with Cittaslow status.

It was also home to Scotland’s first ever farmers’ market. Perth Winter markets are great places to pick up some foodie treats and unique presents. Look out for a Scottish themed St Andrews Day market on 29 November, then the Traditional Christmas Markets, which tempt on the weekends building up to Christmas.

"Man Vs. Food" Chicago restaurants are all about pushing the limits of the human body. The food is delicious, collosal, and down right insane. Restaurants in Chicago are some of the best in the country, but Adam Richman makes it a point to get to the places where only few have had to challenge food - and attempt to win.

Al's Beef. This Chicago restaurant offers one of America's best Italian beef sandwiches. Al's Beef is a franchise and there are several locations. "Man Vs. Food" visited their downtown Chicago location in the episode, "Da Italian Stance." Adam makes a special trip to this fine Chicago restaurant and decides for himself if the famous Italian Beef Sandwich is as special as everyone claims it is. Al's Beef is located at 3420 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60657.

Lucky's Sandwich Co. With three locations in Chicago, this local favorite is known as "The Home of the Overstuffed Sandwich." Their famous sandwich includes meat, cheese, fresh cut french fries, coleslaw and tomatoes. The "Lucky's Overstuffed Sandwich Challenge" is where "Man Vs. Food" comes to play. Adam Richman attempts to eat three of the Overstuffed Sandwiches with meats of his choosing in one hour. Adam couldn't take any bathroom breaks, had to leave the basket completely empty, and couldn't vomit afterwards. All of this to be on the Lucky's Wall of Fame. You can give it a try at 3472 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60657.

Ginos' East of Chicago. Supposedly, the original Chicago Deep Dish Pizza originated here. Of course, "Man Vs. Food" needed to see for themselves. Adam Richman isn't one to shy away from a local original. The Chicago Deep Dish has been in direct conflict with the New York style pizza. Any food fanatic needs to weigh in on their opinion. Which does Adam prefer? Wach the episode and find out! Gino's East of Chicago is located at 633 North Wells, Chicago, IL 60610.

Incoming ATL president targets excessive workload

Written by: SecEd Reporter | Published:
Kim Knappett, president, ATL (Photo: ATL)

The time to do the work that makes a difference to young people and the space to talk and share ideas with colleagues are two key priorities for the incoming president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL).

Kim Knappett, pictured, a secondary school science teacher from south east London, took over as the ATL president on Tuesday (September 1) and will represent around 170,000 teachers, school leaders and support staff in the role.

During her year in office, Ms Knappett has pledged to fight the "excessive workload and constant changes in education" that she says "leaves teachers with little time to do work that benefits students' learning".

Ms Knappett, who has been a teacher for almost 30 years, will set out her presidential agenda in detail at a reception taking place tonight (Thursday, September 3). She has already said that her three priorities will be:

  • The time to do the work that matters to students and has an impact on them.
  • The space to talk to colleagues, to share concepts, solve problems and develop new ideas.
  • Trusting education professionals to know what is best and letting them get on with the job.

She said: "With teachers' excessive workload and the constant changes to education, teachers are left with little time do the things that really count with their students. "As a teacher, I know personally that the night before teaching I sometimes have to spend time doing things that I know will not really have an impact on my students, and there are more effective things I could do.

"That is why I want teachers to be able to reclaim the time they need to do the job they, as educational professionals, know inside-out.

"I also want the government to trust teachers to get on with the job. We've lost trust from the government, we need to look at how we can get it back.

"Teachers also don't get time to talk anymore – it's one of the big changes I've seen in 30 years. There used to be time to sit in the staffroom and talk; we used to share ideas, we used to share resources, which we don't do now because there isn't time to talk."

Ms Knappett started her career in 1987 teaching science in Northolt, Middlesex, for two years before returning to south-east London where she now teaches at a boys' school in Forest Hill.

[security bulletin] SSRT051007 rev.2 - HP Tru64 UNIX Running DNS BIND4/BIND8 with Forwarders: Remote Unauthorized Privileged Access Feb 09 2006 08:39PM

Hash: SHA1

Document ID: c00595837
Version: 2

HPSBTU02095 SSRT051007 rev.2 - HP Tru64 UNIX Running DNS
BIND4/BIND8 with Forwarders: Remote Unauthorized Privileged Access

NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted
upon as soon as possible.

Release Date: 2006-02-06
Last Updated: 2006-02-08

Potential Security Impact: Remote unauthorized privileged access

Source: Hewlett-Packard Company,
HP Software Security Response Team

A potential vulnerability has been identified on the HP Tru64 UNIX
operating system running DNS BIND4 or BIND8 when used by DNS
Forwarders. The vulnerability could be exploited remotely to gain
unauthorized privileged access to the DNS clients.

References: http://isc.org/sw/bind/bind8.php

SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
The following supported versions of HP Tru64 UNIX are affected:

* HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B-3
* HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B-2/PK4
* HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1A PK6
* HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0G PK4
* HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0F PK8

The Internet Software Consortium's (isc.org) Berkeley Internet
Name Domain (BIND) is a popular DNS server used on many operating
systems including Tru64 UNIX.

- From the Internet Software Consortium's web site

BIND4/BIND8 Unsuitable for Forwarder Use

If a nameserver -- any nameserver, whether BIND or otherwise --
is configured to use "forwarders", then none of the target
forwarders can be running BIND4 or BIND8. Upgrade all
nameservers used as "forwarders" to BIND9. There is a current,
wide scale Kashpureff-style DNS cache corruption attack which
depends on BIND4 and BIND8 as "forwarders" targets.

Due to architectural limitations BIND4/BIND8 will never be
suitable for use as a forwarder target. BIND9 should be used

HP has released the following Early Release Patch kits (ERPs)
publicly for use by any customer. The ERP kits use dupatch to
install and will not install over any Customer Specific Patches
(CSPs) that have file intersections with the ERP.

The ERP kits distribute the following items:

* The BIND9 release
* BIND9 manpages
* Upgraded bindconfig application to support BIND9
(5.1B-3, 5.1B-2/PK4, and 5.1A PK6 only)

Baby let's shine where we can shine
And ball where we can ball
Cherish our times together

Know the deferens between love and lust
Lusting for you love (?) feel your touch

Let's talk the touch can be brains in both ways
Now can you tell me what's a king without a queen?
Im using metaphors
What's me without you is what I mean

In the middle of the night you hold me tight
Said it's alright I'm yours forever
I do what you want if you don't hurt me
I'll cook and clean I'll make you happy

[Chorus] ooh what you do to me
Ooh you're my everything
Ooh I'm so glad I found you

I can't stectified it's the sweetest thang
So who's your girl you better say my name

[Lloyd Banks]

It feels like I made it to heaven when im beside her
And we aint gotta keep no secrets cuz she's a ridah
She's got a hold on the kid that's tighter than (?)
And I got a hidden note that's higher then Mariah's
Maybe im jumpin the gun and maybe im crazy
Maybe she's moving to fast maybe im lazy

LEOMINSTER -- The City Council voted unanimously Monday night to grant a petition from the city's health director to increase the number of days dogs are held by animal control before being euthanized.

"We're finding that about 75 percent of the dogs we pick up get back to their owners within two or three days," Health Director Christopher Knuth said, adding that many dogs that are older or suffer from health conditions are often harder to find homes for.

"Right now, the dog officer will keep a lot of these animals on his own dime," he said.

Knuth said the Health Department will keep dogs an average of seven days before they are picked up.

The petition granted by the council Monday night will allow the city to shelter dogs for 14 days.

Before the council's vote, Animal Control Officer Todd Picket said he has never had to euthanize an animal due to lack of space, but admitted that extending the time that animals can stay at the shelter will help some get adopted.

"Facebook has been a really great thing for us, and Todd has been able to place a lot of dogs with other groups that don't euthanize," Knuth said Monday.

Ward 5 Councilor Richard Marchand commended Knuth and the Health Department for bringing the issue to the council.

"This is an excellent petition, and it's a humane gesture," he said.

Memory Foam Mattress and also Bed linen Buying Online.

Memory Foam is ending up being a recommended item! The problem is that not everybody is genuine concerning their product and also there are certain points one should search for when thinking about obtaining memory foam things. Memory Foam was discovered by NASA. NASA was attempting to produce an item that would certainly take in the impressive G-Forces that were pushing versus the astronauts throughout launch. Swedish scientists picked that this item would certainly be great for sheets things. Currently memory foam is made use of for all type of things from mattresses to cushions, from pillows, to pet beds and also past. This memory foam purchasing teacher is made to quit you from shedding your money on memory foam products that will certainly not last.

Thickness is amongst one of the most necessary points to search for with memory foam. If someone is mentioning their product is 5.0 or 6.0, make sure that it is complied with by extra pounds. or extra pounds since that is exactly how thickness is established in memory foam. Some vendors are explaining the weight of 2 cubic feet of memory foam, which is not a proper dimension. Ideal dimension for the thickness of memory foam is the weight of 1 cubic foot of memory foam. The actual thickness of their thing remains in between 2.5 and 3 extra pound. Tempurpedic mattresses are made from 5.3 extra pound. thickness memory foam. Physicians and also Chiropractic professionals recommend a 4.0 extra pound. memory foam due to the fact that it is much less solid and costs much less. Any kind of thickness listed here 4.0 extra pound is not most likely to last lengthy, the better the thickness the longer the foam will certainly maintain all its first residential or commercial properties. 3.0-pound memory foam and also anything much less thick should simply be utilized in bedding things as an extravagant cushion leading kind layer, due to the fact that it does not use sufficient aid to the body alone.

The various other extremely critical component of memory foam that you should discover before purchasing from labor day memory foam sale is the ILD rating of the foam. This rating notifies you just how strong the foam is. Memory foam differs in ILD from 8- 20. The reduced the number, the softer the memory foam. Tempur item has an ILD of 14. Some people discover Tempur item to be as well solid, if that is true with you, after that you would certainly want memory foam with a reduced ILD.

If an item is valued as well reduced, there is probably an element. Unless a person is offering an utilized product, no memory foam mattress topper or overlay should be setting you back $25 – $30. If a price is undue to be genuine, there is probably an element for it. Guarantee you ask inquiries of vendors with expenses that show up as well reduced. It is something to discover a bargain and one more to be ripped off and also stayed with a thing that isn’t actually exactly what it have to be.

Keep an eye out for any type of offering amerisleep releases that has much less compared to 2 inches of memory foam. Memory foam mattresses all have a base to supply help to the foam, not your body. Belly sleepers have to make use of a minimum of 2 inches of memory foam and side or back sleepers should have 3 or 4 inches of memory foam for suitable support.

BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox have been outbid for free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira and “are not going to be a factor” in acquiring him, owner John Henry said in an e-mail on Thursday night.

“We met with Mr. Teixeira and were very much impressed with him,” Henry said. “After hearing about his other offers, however, it seems clear that we are not going to be a factor.”

Henry, general manager Theo Epstein and president Larry Lucchino went to the Dallas area to meet with Teixeira and his agent Scott Boras.

“The Boston ownership was kind enough to request and travel to meet with Mark Teixeira,” Boras said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “While it was a very positive meeting, Mark was candid and advised he is in the process of making a decision and is now attempting to eliminate teams.”

Henry’s reference to the “other offers” leaves open the possibility that he is calling a bluff.

Boras represented former Red Sox center fielder Johnny Damon, who signed with the New York Yankees in 2005 after the Boston brass apparently refused to believe that the offer from their archrivals was real.

Teixeira hit .308 with 33 homers and 121 RBIs last season, including .358 with 13 homers and 43 RBIs in 54 games with the Angels.

The Texas talks came two years and seven days after Epstein, Lucchino and minority owner Tom Werner arrived in Newport Beach to meet with Boras and another client, pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, whose rights the Red Sox had won with a $51.1 million bid to his Japanese team.

The team officials planned to leave California two days later, with or without Matsuzaka, on Henry’s private jet. They arrived at the airport, uncertain if Matsuzaka would join them. He did and they flew to Boston to work on details of his six-year, $52 million deal.

In prior days, Boras had said he would not let Matsuzaka travel to Boston for a physical unless the sides had reached a preliminary agreement.

The Angels, who obtained Teixeira from the Atlanta Braves in July, said last week they made an eight-year offer.

Teixeira also has been pursued by the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals, and met before the winter meetings with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. Officials of the Orioles and Angels said Boras had not been in contact with them on Thursday.

Henry had expressed concern about a contract of eight years or more.

“We all have limits,” he wrote to the AP on Wednesday. “Eight years is a very long time in baseball and everywhere else.”

He also said the amount the team is willing to spend on a free agent “depends on both” the economy and the player being sought.

“Baseball as a whole has not yet been hit by the financial crisis, but it will,” Henry said.

“The degree is in question and won’t be answered for a while.”
