What happens when life doesn't turn out as planned? This collection of two evocative stories (each with a surprising twist) explores the choices and compromises we make in life and in love, and how they can trap or liberate us, depending on our mindset.

In "Cage Life," first published by [untitled] in 2010 as "Still Life", a young mum feels like a prisoner in her own home. Her decision to escape the bonds of marriage and motherhood, just for a few hours, has unexpected consequences that force her to a re-evaluate what it really means to be loved, to be married, and to be free.
In "The Usurper," unconditional love is explored within the boundaries of age and longing. Basil is in his eighties, with an illustrious career in law enforcement behind him, when he meets Carla — a beautiful, energetic and much younger mistress. But when Simon appears on the scene, can Basil keep her or does she, in fact, keep him?

Based in beautiful Gisborne, New Zealand. Runa's passion for capturing beautiful images and Holly's eye for floral design, inspired by their interest in interior design and having beautiful pieces on their own walls, this collaboration happened naturally.
Both still active within their separate fields, the two friends have for some time talked about putting their heads together in a joint venture. This new project is an exciting creative outlet in a new direction.
They first met in 2002 where they both worked in a local Gisborne Restaurant. Runa was 21 and Holly was 15. Runa was born and raised in Iceland, and after a short stint in NZ she moved back to Iceland. Years later, with the help of social media, they got back in touch. A few cities and 6 children later they both ended up back in Gisborne, where they picked up where they left off!
Runa has a successful career as a photographer, with a focus on families and children. Holly, also has her own successful business, as a florist for large events.

|Two Old Men Eating Soup, 1819-23, oil mural transferred to canvas, 49 x 83 cm, Prado
Thick, loose brushwork, paint expertly applied by a highly experienced hand conveys a nightmarish scene with minimal form. Yet it is all the more sinister for it.
The gender of the subjects appearing out of the darkness is only supposed. They could very well be witches (a common type throughout Goya's oeuvre). The right figure however, barely there at all with its dark skull-like head, is most likely the apparition of death itself; pointing, along with the other sinister grinning figure, at a spoon, inviting someone - you - to dinner.

Nets' winning streak ends at four with loss to Celtics
BOSTON -- This is the reason it's hard to take the Nets seriously at times, and just the latest numbing example.
They were in the midst of one of their best stretches of the season, going over the .500 mark for the first time by beating a pair of likely playoff-bound teams in the Bulls and Grizzlies. It put them on the brink of matching their longest winning streak of the season. All the Nets had to do was upend the Celtics, who had gotten pasted by the Warriors two nights earlier.
Instead, the Nets trailed from the opening tip to the final buzzer, a disheartening display for a team that thought it finally had discovered its mojo.
The Nets had a rough shooting night and lost to the Celtics, 91-84, Friday night at TD Garden, ending their winning streak at four and sending them back to the .500 mark.
"Yeah, I mean this is a tough one," said Deron Williams (20 points, four assists). "The way we've been playing, we've been playing well, had some good wins against some good teams, and to come out here and drop this one is definitely frustrating."
Almost as bothersome as clanking shots, particularly from beyond the arc. The Nets (30-30) shot 4-for-30 from three-point range, misfiring on their initial 17 tries. They didn't knock down their first one until Williams swished a three with 6:27 left in the third quarter to bring the Nets within 66-55.
Overall, the Nets shot 29-for-80 from the floor (36.3 percent), something that simply won't get it done against the Celtics (21-41) or anyone else.
"We shot a lot of threes, missed a lot of threes," Shaun Livingston said. "They didn't have a lot of shot-blockers in, so that's bad game-planning by us as far as the guards attacking."
The Nets were without Kevin Garnett, out a fourth straight game with back spasms.
With 2:02 left in the third quarter, Joe Johnson's free throw completed a three-point play that capped an 18-4 run and drew the Nets within 70-68, the closest they'd been since they were down 9-6.
But the Celtics answered with a 12-3 spurt to grab an 82-71 lead early in the fourth. No way the cold-shooting Nets, who were outrebounded 51-28, could erase that deficit, not even against a team that had 28 turnovers.
"It's tough because when April comes, these are the games that you are going to look back on and they are going to hurt," Johnson said. "So this is definitely a game that we needed and we've got to be able to put teams like this away."
"I think every loss at this point really hurts, it stings, because we know how close the Eastern Conference race is," said Paul Pierce, who wasn't much of a factor with 10 points in his second game here wearing Nets garb. "The difference between one or two games can mean a high seed or a low, low seed. So every game counts at this point. You've only got four or five weeks left in the season, and we've got to take advantage of the teams that are under us. Tonight we didn't do that."

Posted by regal14 on November 28, 2014, 7:44 pm, in reply to "Question on Selecting Meets to Enter"
I coached baseball, football and basketball so most of the meets I go to are squeezed in between that, but I really enjoy going to big meets like USA, Natural Nationals, World Cup, Masters. I also try to support the Ohio meets but Iam usually in Coaching season when those events are going on. But Iam thankful that NASA offers so many different options for us.

Stellar Appellations
by Beth LaBuff
An aging brick façade, sat decomposing on the lane,
Held a rusty pock-marked door that was weather-beaten, stained.
Inside, a single dangling bulb launched shadows in a hall
That pointed to a doorway, set mid-center on the wall.
Inside the room, Sir Abram toiled while fifty years accrued,
His livelihood for fifty more if wishing stars held true.
Sparse furnishings—a single desk presided o'er the space.
"Twas daily here, Sir Abram's methodology took place.
The walls and ceiling of this room were painted midnight blue
With tiny starlight pinpoints plotted—prompting easy view.
Beside each tiny stellar point, in pristine script of white,
The name he'd chosen to bestow upon that distant light.
A list each morn, with newest stars was tacked up in the hall,
And by day's end, each star was named and charted on his wall.
He'd satisfaction in the fact that each star known to man
Had carefully received a name by his own thoughtful plan.
Each working day Sir Abram rambled down that shambled lane,
Regenerated once again inside his starred domain.
As father with his children, he recited starry names,
Then when at rest, sat at his desk, a job well-done—acclaimed.
At mid-point of the fifty-second year of his employment,
A shadow loomed that dimmed his light and halted his enjoyment.
It seemed a ruthless act, to slide a pink slip 'neath his door,
But there it lay, a bearer of bad tidings on the floor.
"The Appellator, Bureau Office, Stellar Appellations,
We hereby give you notice of our budget lacerations.
For due to lack of funding, we inform you to our sorrow,
We're shutting down this office; it's effective on the morrow."
So voila! Unemployment, his reward for fifty years!
This pink slip proclamation predicated life to veer,
At workday's end, he offed the lights— symbolic— darkened-day.
But satisfied each star was named, he sadly trod away.
Despite his melancholiness— new stars that offer light,
Though still unnamed, regardless, go on shining just as bright.
And if uncharted nor assessed—the distance from our sun,
These unnamed stars, unfathomed lights—still have been named by One.
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Psalm 147:4
Look up at the heavens and count the stars...So shall your offspring be.
Genesis 15:5
© Beth LaBuff -- January 2012

Our firm
The brand
In 1931, Henri and Félix Rastit created the Compagnie Méridionale de Navigation that was known by the initials CMN.
At the time, the company concentrated on freight activities.
Links to the Corsica, the lsle of Beauty, started in 1937, for the transport of goods only and in 1976 the company became for the first time co-concession holder for the public service to link Corsica and mainland France.
In 1988, the company moved to passenger services and one year later it opened a line to Sardinia as a continuation of the service to Propriano [see our story ].
So the company has changed and evolved gradually through the years. It has repositioned its activities but kept the satisfaction of its passengers and carriers as a priority. This is the reason why all of the company's personnel is active in offering clients a pleasant welcome, high quality and personalised service.
In order to reinforce its identity, in 1998 the company decided to adopt the commercial brand:
In 2010, La Méridionale is revamping its visual identity and that of its ships. A new logo has been unveiled:

If you don't have any time to write your university assignments, there are a lot of professional writers which can perform it for an affordable price.
Who Can Write Your Essay from Scratch?
Writing papers stays one of the hardest university assignments. The key challenge seems not only in the requirement of writing an original paper from scratch but that your essay should be well-structured, properly cited and have sufficient amount of credible references. Should I sit in University library for hours in order to write a simple paper? Maybe, it seems more efficient to deliver that work to someone else?
2 Ways Of Ordering Your Essay
A lot of students, who stay overloaded with assignments, ask their classmates or other smart guys to write their essay for them. In contrast to assigning an academic paper to essay writer, these people may not even ask money for their services. They may ask helping them with another subject or buying some tasty food. The only problem is that these people remain the same students like you so you should stay completely sure that this student can deliver a modest piece of writing.
Another, much more popular way is ordering your assignment to professional essay writer. Costs of this option stay higher but returns remain considerable as:
- Professional writers have successfully graduated from their universities so they understand your situation and requirements your papers should fulfill;
- Writers are responsible for high uniqueness of the final work and excellent quality of writing. In contrast to students, they never make grammar or lexical mistakes and they are highly accurate with words and phrases they employ;
- Terms and deadlines are intrinsically important for professionals. Even if your paper should be done overnight, the next morning you will find it on your e-mail;
- Professional paper writers never disclose your personal information to anybody else. If you make your request to writing service, its workersnever know the name of the student and even the name of the university;
Students are not afraid ordering their essays to third parties and if they have a tight schedule, they never refuse paying.
Don't Forget Selecting The Best Writer
Ordering your writing is safe if you order its implementation with the help of right company. Now students can find a large number of essay writing companies, their prices differ not so much but the quality varies. If you don't want to mistakenly choose the wrong company, you should consider these 3 factors:
- How much good responses this writer has? Never expect all services showing negative reviews and responses. Look through positive ones and think carefully why this service is different from other similar companies;
- Which guarantees does this service provide? Good services always post names of their clients' universities, profiles of their writers and provide money back guarantee. If there are no such features, you may not end up with a good paper;
- Does it work 24 hours a day and how this service deals with overnight requests? You should be sure that the company has enough writers for making your paper done within one night, else there is no guarantee that they will make your term order in time.
Delivering part of your assignments to professional writers is effective, but you should never rely on them fully. Try to make everything you can and only if you cannot do something, make an order.

Not Dark Yet is a stark, gorgeous, eerie and thoughtful novel that at once tells the story of a man attempting to cope with his violent tendencies and explores the devastating repercussions of a world in the grips of unnatural climate change. Less an apocalyptic foretelling and more of a quiet, emotional examination of relationships (including our relationship with the environment), Not Dark Yet was truly fascinating and uncharted territory for me. I was thrilled to be able to catch up with its brilliant author, Berit Ellingsen, and dive deeper into both the story and the important topics presented in the novel. Read on….
Steph Post: Not Dark Yet takes place in an unnamed country. We know that it has mountains, a coastline and is cold. The cities are unnamed, the university has no designation, a war is alluded to, but never specified. Only the characters are named, and even then, their inclusion is somewhat spare. Overall, the setting is familiar, but also a blank. This is a clear stylistic choice and one which I think adds to the stark, eerie tone of the novel. Why did you choose to create a world which has no explicit identity? Or is there an identity, but one that has deliberately been kept from the reader?
Berit Ellingsen: I chose not to name the towns and cities and continents in Not Dark Yet, but instead refer to them as for example "the Southern Continent" and "the resort town on the coast." I did that to give the sense that the story could take place anywhere in our globalized world, where big cities, at least their new parts, have started to look rather similar no matter which continent you're on, and where you can find almost the same types of shops and restaurants and brands, and people working in similar kinds of jobs, from Vancouver to Mumbai.
The second reason for doing this was to not have readers think "well that kind of catastrophic climate change can maybe happen there, but it can't possibly happen here" and believe that they may remain unaffected by climate change.
Some of the places that inspired the towns and cities in Not Dark Yet are, in no specific sequences: Vancouver BC, Frankfurt, München, Copenhagen, Bergen, Portsmouth, the Alps, the Norwegian central mountains, and the Scottish Highlands.
SP: As strange as a world without designation is, the settings are still familiar to the reader. The technology used by Brandon and the other characters is nearly identical to what we have now and items like food and entertainment are recognizable, even if they are often only vaguely alluded to. There is evidence in the novel, though, that the climate has shifted and this suggests that the story takes place sometime in the future. How far from now is Not Yet Dark actually set? How realistic do you believe the future that you present to be?
BE: The world of Not Dark Yet is our world, just maybe next year or the year after that.
When I wrote the book, which is now three years ago, I tried to make the effects of climate change in Not Dark Yet as realistic as possible with the climate data and projections available at the time. Since my day job is science writing, I follow general science news and that includes climate science, so the information wasn't hard to find.
I imagine that the world of Not Dark Yet has passed to the stage where climate change has "gone exponential," meaning that many climate variables, such as atmospheric CO2, ocean temperature, sea level rise, ice cap melting etc etc, are changing exponentially instead of linearly as they have done so far, due to reinforcing feedback mechanisms in the Earth's global systems. Thus, the climate and biosphere in the world of Not Dark Yet has changed a lot in recent years, but also in less apparent ways decades before that, until catastrophic climate change starts to make itself known.
The Paris climate deal tries to limit the rise in global mean temperature to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels, because at temperatures higher than 2 C the Earth's weather will become noticeably more dangerous, and not only in warm places along the equator. But we've already passed 1 C and the window for 1.5 C is closing very fast.
Some things are going the right way, such as the world wide interest in renewable energy, and the deal in Paris last year. But changes take time and so far, every single climate variable, from ice cap melting to ocean warming, has gone faster than the scientists anticipated. I don't know of any climate change factor that has changed slower than it was believed it would.
It's hard to say how close we are to the world of Not Dark Yet, but according to recent science news, we just passed 400 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere also for the southern hemisphere. That means there is now more of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere than there has been for as long humans have existed.
Already, several low lying islands in the Pacific have vanished and about half of the Great Barrier Reef is threatened by coral bleaching, ie the corals losing their photosynthetic ability and starting to die.
Catastrophic climate change for inhabited areas may be closer than we think. And it is already a catastrophe for the many animal and plant species that are struggling right now.
SP: The novel's main, and dominating, character is Brandon Minamoto. Though much of his past is shrouded, we know that he has committed violence in the name of military operations and we know that he has cheated on his boyfriend. He considers joining his friend Kaye on an undetermined political mission that most certainly will involve more violence. Yet, as with any complex and complicated character, Brandon has his good side and, more importantly, invokes pity from the reader as he struggles with personal, mental and physical issues throughout the story. Are readers supposed to sympathize with Brandon?
BE: They don't have to, there is certainly no requirement for that. A sort of understanding was more what I was aiming for.
I didn't set out to make him unlikable on purpose, it was more that I wanted him to be so used to living under dangerous and strenuous conditions during his military profession that he has to push his own limits. He's also used to staying in the background and making difficult decisions by himself, so he doesn't let other people in on them. Some readers found him too distant and ghost-like.
Personally, I thought Kaye would be seen as unsympathetic and ruthless, but few readers have said they disliked him. Maybe because it's somewhat understandable why he does what he does.
SP: One of my favorite parts of Not Dark Yet is the inclusion mid-way of the story of the monk who starves himself and becomes a mummy even as he is still living. Again, because there is no real context of history or cultural, the story is jarringly unfamiliar and unsettling. Where did this story come from and what is its purpose within the novel?
BE: The mummy chapter is one of the things people have reacted the most to, and I actually didn't think they would. I thought people would react more to the military scenes and the political violence alluded to by Kaye. But the mummy chapter probably stands out because it's described in detail.
Mummification in religious context has a long tradition in Buddhism, both Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana Buddhism, from Tibet to Vietnam. In a few places the local herbs and water were such that certain monasteries and groups of mendicants developed forms of extreme self abnegation that culminated in self-mummification. It was rare and is no longer practiced, and only few individuals were even allowed to start on the path to becoming a mummy. But the traditions and techniques they used are documented and even a few articles about the subject have been translated to English.
The self-mummification chapter was meant to show the protagonist's relationship to his brother and their different attitudes towards the world and the "good life," what we in the modern world think of as happiness. I can see why people react to the mummy chapter though, because such a degree of asceticism is difficult to understand.
Some readers interpreted the mummy scenes as reflective of the protagonist's training for the astronaut selection, and see that too as a sort of self-abnegation process. Others said that mummies can be viewed as a kind of astronaut, someone who leaves the Earth voluntarily to go somewhere the rest of us can't follow. I really like that thought. The Ancient Egyptians for example believed the souls of their mummified pharaos traveled to specific stars.
SP: Without giving too much away, I'll say that Not Dark Yet doesn't necessarily end on a positive note. While Brandon ultimately makes a final choice, the world we are left with is one that is still damaged with seemingly no hope in sight. If Not Dark Yet is portentous, it would seem that the earth is doomed. Is there hope then, for the future?
BE: Both hope as well as certainty of doom carries a sort of blindness. Personally, I try to keep all options open, but it is clear that the window of time for avoiding the first licks of catastrophic climate change is closing really fast and that we may be past it.
There is a slow but growing understanding that we need to switch to renewable energy as soon as possible, but the amount is yet too low and extraction of fossil energy sources continues almost unabated, including shale oil, with all the negative consequences that has for the local as well as the global environment.
I don't see the world as doomed yet, at least not the natural world. Human civilization may not be able to survive a long term global climate change crisis, but I hope that some parts of the biosphere will. Some scientists think the human population will peak at around 11 billion people and then fall due to industrialization. Combined with a worldwide transition to renewable energy, the biggest rise in global temperature might be avoided.
The question is though, what will happen with the methane stores in the Arctic ocean as the temperature rises. Methane is a strong greenhouse gas and the big unknown in the climate change models. I wouldn't have taken the chance on the methane staying put, but that's what we're doing right now.
Climate change as it is now and might become in the nearest few years, will perhaps be a threat to security first and foremost. The conflicts between regions and nations, and the displacements of people that climate change may cause through for example flooding and drought, might be a more immediate threat than one single big disastrous weather event caused by climate change will be.
The wars and conflicts alluded to in Not Dark Yet have been worsened or caused by climate change. There is more of this in my next novel which is a loose continuation of Not Dark Yet.
SP: Not Dark Yet is in the climate genre which, to be honest, I'm pretty unfamiliar with. Many films, from the cartoon Fern Gully to the recent Interstellar deal with the topic of an environmental apocalypse, but it's not a topic I've experience much in literature. Who else is writing in this genre? If readers want more books like Not Dark Yet, what titles or authors should they seek out?
BE: I just read Clade by James Bradley, which follows a branch of the same family through several generations of climate change and technological change. It's a well-researched novel that addresses many of the big issues of today and the near future.
Love in the Anthropocene by Dale Jamieson and Bonnie Nadzam is written by a novelist and a climate scientist and is a collection of short stories set in the era of humankind. Some of these stories deal with climate change as well.
The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer deals with ecological disaster in a more personal and symbolic way, and shows the effect of such a disaster on the immediate community as well as the human psyche, without turning into a Mad Max post-apocalypse story.
There is a lot of post-apocalypse stories like that, where the apocalypse is caused by climate change or one or two select aspects of it, such as only water shortage or only melting of the poles. They're not very realistic and climate change is mostly a vehicle to set up an apocalyptic scenario or a post-apocalyptic dystopia.
The Dark Mountain Project creates anthologies of writing concerning our age. In their own words: "We see that the world is entering an age of ecological collapse, material contraction and social and political unraveling, and we want our cultural responses to reflect this reality rather than denying it."
Jeff VanderMeer has said that he expects, as climate change continues, it will become a part of all fiction because it will become widespread and felt by everyone. I very much agree with him about that.
For non-fiction, the documentary series The Tipping Points gives a very good overview of the most pressing aspects of climate change. The documentary film Chasing The Ice shows how quickly we are losing the ice caps.
Terje Tvedt's A Journey in the Future of Water and Mark Lynaas' Six Degrees are very informative about the consequences of climate change. This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein and The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert might be interesting too.
Thanks so much to Berit Ellingsen for one of the most interesting and illuminating interviews I believe I've ever done. Please check out her book recommendations and, of course, get your hands on a copy of Not Dark Yet, available now from Two Dollar Radio, as well as her short story collection Beneath the Liquid Skin and her novel Une Ville Vide. And, as always, go forth and spread the word about books you love. Cheers!

"I should like to see Emma in love, and in some doubt of return; it would do her good," remarks one of Jane Austen's characters in Emma.
Quick-witted, beautiful, headstrong and rich, Emma Woodhouse is inordinately fond of match-making select inhabitants of the village of Highbury, yet aloof and oblivious as to the question of whom she herself might marry. This paradox multiplies the intrigues and sparkling ironies of Jane Austen's masterpiece, her comedy of a sentimental education through which Emma discovers a capacity for love and marriage.

I've been using Microsoft's Cloud Platform Azure for several years now. Azure has built in logging support which can be used by applications deployed to Azure.
Logging is as simple as calling one of the methods from the System.Diagnostics.Trace class.
All these logging information will NOT be stored in a file, but in a table called WADLogsTable which is located in the Azure Storage.
Using the Azure Storage to display log data
To display these log data you have to query the Azure Storage. The problem with that, is that querying the storage is a real pain as Gaurav Mantri has already pointed out back in 2012.
The Azure Storage has a few disadvantages when it comes to displaying log data:
- Querying for logs in a specific timeframe using the Timestamp attribute is incredibly slow
- You can't filter the logs by attributes like Level, Role, DeploymentId etc. because the query gets so slow that it becomes unuseable
- You cannot filter for strings in the Message attribute
I searched a long time for tools that will display the log data in the Azure Storage in a nice way but couldn't find one.
Alfa (Azure Logfile Analyzer)
Back in 2013, I decided to create my own tool called Alfa (Azure Logfile Analyzer) which should solve all these flaws with the Azure Logs.
Alfa is an application which is designed as a background service. The idea behind it is that Alfa periodically fetches the log data from Azure and stores it into its own datastore called ElasticSearch. From there you can go forward and use all visualization tools which can work with data stored in ElasticSearch. One great example is Kibana which is what I'm using to visualize my log data.
I'm using Alfa in production for almost 1 year now and I'm happy to announce that it has pushed my log analysis experience a big step forward compared to using the default Azure Storage.
The main features of Alfa are:
- Filter logs by date/time
- Filter logs by any attribute
- Search in log messages
- Aggregate all logfiles in one place (even from different Azure applications)
So, if you feel the same pain like I did, while you're trying to view your Azure log data, make sure to give Alfa a try.
Alfa runs under Windows and Linux. Under Windows you can run it as a service.
As always, the source code is available at GitHub where you can also find all release binaries for download.

Apparently, the slide below is not a joke about Afghanistan.
According to the UK Daily Mail and the New York Times, when General Stanley McChrystal, the former ISAF commander, saw the slide he stated, "When we understand that slide, we'll have won the war."
When I first saw it, I thought it was the organizational chart for ISAF.
With news reports indicating the U.S. is financially committing to Afghanistan until at least 2024, we'll have time not only to figure it out but to fully implement it.

Jordan Brand just ain't playing fair. The highly coveted Air Jordan 3 Retro Doernbecher returns July 20, so get your browsers and special connects up to speed, stat.
Back in 2010, Cole Johanson had the opportunity to tell his story through the Air Jordan 3 Retro as part of the Doernbecher Freestyle program. A tonal red upper featured "COLE" subtly spelled out within a diamond grid pattern, and images of his two favorite foods (spaghetti and chocolate) could be found behind the pull-tab. But it was two words inscribed on the insole that helped Cole beat his lymphoma: Strength and Courage.
"Those are the two things you need the most," he said. "Especially courage. I mean, everyone has it, the trick is just not letting it go when hard things happen." It's a mantra that Cole continues to embrace as he prepares to start his freshman year at Beaverton High School. He can't wait to play high school hoops, and, of course, he'll be rocking a pair of Js.
Look for Cole Johanson's limited edition Air Jordan 3 Retro to return on July 20 at Nike.com and in Nike retail locations across the US. All proceeds benefit the Doernbecher Children's Hospital Foundation and the young patients who need it most.
The proceeds go to a great cause and at $160 at retail trust us when we say this is a bargain considering how much the resellers will mark these up. Check out detailed images of the Air Jordan 3 Retro Doernbecher in the following pages. Good hunting.

How to Mound Up Flower Beds Because of Poor Soil
Poor soils don't contain the nutrients needed for healthy flower growth. They may also have poor structure, which results in moisture problems and further nutrient deficiencies. Mounding up a flower bed provides an opportunity to supply good soil for the current year's flowers while improving the soil beneath for future years. A growing mound also supplies better drainage than a standard garden, which works especially well in low-lying areas where water tends to otherwise collect.
Take a soil sample, following the instructions specified in the soil sample kit. Kits are available for a fee from your county extension office. Return the kit to the office for an analysis of your soil needs.
Break up the top 8 to 12 inches of the existing soil with a power tiller or spade. Remove any rocks or roots and break apart large clumps of soil.
Apply a layer of compost on top of the soil bed. The amount of compost necessary depends on the quality of the soil and the desired height of the mound, but generally a layer between 6 and 8 inches works well.
Turn the compost into the native tilled soil to incorporate them together, using the spade or power tiller.
Apply lime to lower the acidity of the bed or sulfur to raise it if these amendments are indicated as necessary by the soil test. Turn the lime or sulfur into the soil with the compost. Most flowers require a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0 so lime or sulfur is only necessary if your soil tests outside this range. Apply these amendments at least two weeks before you plant.
Add fertilizer at the rate recommended by the soil test results. Most beds require a nitrogen amendment, but other nutrients may also be necessary. Turn the fertilizer into the top 8 inches of the mounded soil.
Water the new bed thoroughly so the soil is evenly moist throughout the mound but doesn't become muddy. Plant the flowers after watering.
Things Needed
- Soil test kit
- Power tiller or spade
- Compost
- Lime or sulfur
- Fertilizer
- Building a raised bed keeps the soil in the mounded bed in place so it isn't lost to erosion.

Valkubus Detective Agency?
LOST GIRL – Season 5 Episode 3 – SPOILERS
TAMSIN [to Bo]: "Well your breath isn't so minty fresh either, O chosen one." (Tamsin gets all the good lines now that Kenzi is gone.)
Bo is visiting self-help websites in an attempt to deal with her lack of sex drive. Tamsin discovers that she cannot cook. The two decide to go out for dinner, and their food of choice seems to be hotdogs (from a street vendor). They are saved from this by being picked up by Mishashi, a legendary Fae warrior from Japan, and engaged as his bodyguards.
Mishashi (Scott Yamamura), is scheduled to become "king of his ancestors" in reward for deeds of heroism that (as it turns out) he did not perform. His sister Tamoe (Emily Piggford) was the true hero. Bo, with the help of her new sidekick Tamsin, rights this wrong, and in so doing reaches the conclusion that being the chosen one is 'bullshit' (because Mishashi was a chosen one and he let it corrupt him). If Bo had just watched a few episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess, she might have learned the same thing from Xena's adversarial relationship with Julius Caesar.
On the way to this epiphany, Bo gets stabbed, and the injury is life-threatening because she has no sex drive and cannot feed to heal herself. Tamsin disconnects her from life support, forcing Bo to reveal her fear of abandonment. Trick, Lauren, and Dyson all reassure Bo (and the viewers) that they will never leave. Tamsin gives no such assurance, and this may be significant. Bo immediately regains her succubus powers (her eyes turn bright blue, which could mean the re-emergence of her dark side) and she bangs Dyson loudly with Tamsin and Lauren in the next room. This leads to a quite emotional Dockyrie moment, with Lauren telling Tamsin that "sometimes you're just what everybody needs."
Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) may get all the good lines, but the most genuinely funny moment in this episode is when Lauren (Zoie Palmer) arms herself with a broom to defend against an imagined intruder at the clinic. (It turns out to be the night janitor.) After this experience, Lauren is moved to seek training in self-defence from Dyson.
The elevator crash from last episode killed everyone involved, but three of the victim's bodies were undamaged. All three of them had an unknown Fae blood type. (If the bodies were undamaged, why are they dead? Also, why no autopsy to find that out?) Dyson has found no connection between the three. If they are unconnected, that might mean that a whole lot of people in the general population have a dormant gene that controls this blood factor, and that gene was activated in all these folks when Bo put Persephone's candle in the window.
Lawyer Elizabeth Helm (Amanda Walsh) rises from the dead, apparently possessed by someone or something. The first person she encounters is the cute nurse Lisa (Nadine Djoury). "Can you see me?", she asks repeatedly, and on getting an affirmative reply, snaps the unfortunate nurse's neck.
Emily Piggford (Tamoe) can be seen as Megan in the webseries THAT'S MY DJ, which is about Simon (Jacob Neayem), who lives in his adoptive mother's basement and dreams of stardom. Under the invented name 'Dead Pixel', and he and his manager go on a quest for fame in a city full of DJs.
Nadine Djoury (Lisa the nurse) was one of the winners of the 2014 ComedyPRO Pitch Program for the webseries NEWBORN MOMS, a comedy what it's like to be a new parent. Djory is currently appearing in Second City's musical THE NAUGHTY LISTERS, which will run through New Years Day at The Second City Theatre at 51 Mercer Street in Toronto.
Amanda Walsh (Elizabeth Helm) is Charlotte in the horror thriller MERCY, about a single mother and her sons who must care for an elderly relative with supernatural powers. MERCY can be streamed on Netflix (US).

Is there life after DIEt?
You know the drill of a diet: You are committed. You are motivated. You are doing it. You lose the weight by avoiding red meat, extra fat and sugar. You exercise. You get to your goal weight. And then you face a simple question - What happens AFTER the weight loss?
Will you go back to your old eating habits, rewarding yourself with food for your success and ultimately getting back to the previous weight? OR will you be on a diet forever, counting each calorie and watching every ounce on the scale? Which one of these life options are you destined to live? To me, that's neither of those is a life. Eating foods that you know are not loving your body, that make you tired and weak is not fun in the end of the day. Eating dull foods that you despise is also not a very pleasant process. So, what's a girl to do?
I believe in life WITHOUT a diet from the beginning. I believe in choosing foods that NOURISH your body AND that you actually happen to love to eat. There is no "OR". There has to be an "AND." Only when you reach the perfect harmony of eating foods for pleasure AND health will you forget about the word diet and actually start to live. Your body will show you how beautiful it can be when you give it the foods it needs. Your spirit will soar with joy from eating delicious fresh foods that are bursting with energy.
In my experience life begins when you eat a lot of foods that are alive themselves - raw fruits and vegetables. I am not advocating to eat 100% raw vegan foods for everyone, but I do believe that eating a lot of them will change the way you feel and give you a lot of loving energy. Try it for yourself. Pick juicy fruits that you love. Try some new vegetables and you may be surprised that you enjoy their taste. If it is animal protein that gives you strength and pleasure, then chose the best quality, organic, humanely-raised meats.
You only have this one body in this life, so love it up! Don't waste time on diets. Pick fabulous foods, feel the energy and enjoy your life, starting this very moment. It is time to Let Yourself Blossom!

Arson frightens Rancho San Diego family
An arsonist set a Rancho San Diego home garage door on fire early Friday, leaving the residents distraught and wondering why they were targeted.
"We love everybody here, everybody loves us, we're very peaceful," Usama Georges, 52, owner of the home on Royal Saint James Drive off Hilton Head Road, said Saturday.
"If we had a wooden garage door instead of a steel one, the whole house would be gone. This isn't just arson, I feel it is attempted murder. I'm very upset. My wife is very scared."
Georges, who works for Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, said his 23-year-old son was home alone and awoke about 1 a.m. Friday because their dog was barking. The son turned on lights and checked the backyard, but saw nothing and returned to bed.
When he was leaving for work later in the morning, he saw scorch marks and fire damage on the two-car garage door. Two vehicles in the driveway weren't damaged.
Someone had wadded up fast-food wrappers, lit them on fire and tried to shove them under the locked door, Georges said. He said the arsonists must have fled when his son got up, and the wrappers burned out. His son reported the incident about noon.
Sheriff's officials said deputies collected evidence and the case will be handled by the bomb-arson unit.
"We want people to know about our fire so they can look out," Georges said. "We have to watch out for each other."
Georges said several neighbors have been targets of vandals who have shot BBs through windows and egged cars and houses. He said he has asked for more patrols by deputies, and complained to the county about people who drink and make a lot of noise at a nearby park hours past closing time.

CenturyLink announced its second quarter results on Aug. 6. The big telecom services company posted operating revenues of just over $4.54 billion, up slightly over the same period the previous year. Meanwhile adjusted net profit came in at $408 million ($0.72 per share), down from Q2 2013's $417 million ($0.69).
Although the bottom line was lower on a year-over-year basis, it was still good enough to score a clear beat over the average analyst EPS estimate of $0.64. Sales, meanwhile, more or less met expectations.
These estimates were in line with the company's own anticipations of $0.62 to $0.67 in per share earnings, and a touch higher than its projected $4.48 billion to $4.53 billion in revenues.
Source: CenturyLink
Glued to the TV
The convincing EPS beat aside, it wasn't particularly a quarter to remember for CenturyLink. Nevertheless, there were a few developments for investors to cheer about.
The first was a nice boost in the customer numbers for the company's competitive entertainment offering, Prism TV. Taking full advantage of the speedy pipes of its fiber optic network, the firm managed to add almost 16,000 customers for the service, boosting the total to around 215,000 at the end of the quarter.
That, combined with price increases for other offerings,boosted the company's overall take from its "strategic" consumer services -- popular products of the day including broadband, video, and wireless services (as opposed to "legacy" services like local and long-distance telecom offerings, or smaller parts of CenturyLink's business like data integration).
Revenue from the company's various strategic offerings advanced by 5% on a year-over-year basis in Q2 to total $2.30 billion, over half of its revenue.
On the downside, those legacy products are looking like an albatross flown in from another century to drag on CenturyLink's results. Combined, they accounted for $1.8 billion in top line for the quarter, more than 6% lower than the Q2 2013 number.
Pondering the payout
Meanwhile, there was no indication of what the future might hold for one of CenturyLink stock's most attractive features, and the key reason many investors own it -- the firm's high dividend. At the moment, the company shells out $0.54 per share for a relatively chunky yield of 5.4%.
That beats the distribution handed out by the telecom sector's dominant players. AT&T 's clocks in at 5.3%, while Verizon 's yield currently stands at 4.3%.
CenturyLink's payout used to be fatter, though. At the beginning of 2013 it was sliced aggressively from $0.725, with the company stressing the need to support its investments. That was an unpleasant shock for investors, who were used to a long history of growing dividends stretching all the way back to 1990.
They reacted by trading the company's stock down by around 23% in the wake of the announcement. Whoops.
Hopefully Centurylink will be more careful in treating its dividend moving forward. At the moment its business is fairly steady, so there's little reason to believe it'll make another deep cut in the distribution.

Kilo Kish attended the 'Elysium' New York screening held at Sunshine Landmark in New York City yesterday evening.
The new kid on the singer/songwriter block, and judging by this outing one to watch fashion wise, wore a Michael Kors pansy-print top and straight-leg trousers from the designer's Pre-Fall 2013 collection.
She may be new, but she's clearly done her celeb trends homework as she donned a pair of Michael Kors optic white pumps which matched her Diane von Furstenberg 'Tonda' embossed lizard clutch worn as a shoulder bag.
The fresh-faced singer completed her look with voluminous natural curls and Eddie Borgo 'Cyprus' earrings.
