Tuesday, March 12, 2013
What a beautiful weekend we had this past week. I finally took the time to do some work in my yard, and I was glad I did. Many of my deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves) are either just starting to put on new leaves or still naked. The green weeds are easy to spot in the lawn or beds (yes, I get weeds too). Insect inventory, especially scale, is easy to evaluate at this time. Any sooty mold left behind from last year indicates other insects. With the recent rains, a search for any mosquito breeding areas was easy to do. I hate to ask this, but does anyone have moles?
Right now, before your deciduous trees put on new leaves, is an excellent time to take a close look at them. If your trees are larger, it is a great time to get a professional tree company in to look at them. Look for crossing and rubbing limbs or limbs that are growing toward the middle of the tree. Look for limbs that have died or look unhealthy.
By pruning these limbs now you can direct all the new leaves and growth to limbs you want to keep long term, and not waste the energy of the tree to put on new leaves that you are going to remove later.
When your tree is naked, vines growing up into the canopy are easy to spot along the trunk of the tree. Since the tree does not have any leaves, these vines are easier to remove than when the tree and vine have leaves. I pull these vines away from the tree, scrap off some bark and apply my "vine killer" to the open wound.
Weeds growing beneath the tree are easier to spot and deal with if you have a low-branching deciduous tree. My fig tree has these big leaves, so once the leaves come out, it is very hard to spray a herbicide underneath the tree without hitting the fig tree's leaves. Spray now before the flush of leaves.
In the beds my main weed to deal with was wild onions. Wild onions are not controlled by preemergent herbicides; therefore, this weed was no surprise. I did see a perfect triangle of chickweed in one of my beds, indicating that I missed a spot last fall while I was applying my preemergent herbicide. It always amazes me how many weed seeds are waiting to germinate if you miss them with a preemergent herbicide.
If you have any Asiatic Jasmine or Ivy that has grown into areas you do not want it, right now, while it is putting on young tender growth, is going to be your best time to control it.
If you have been plagued by black sooty mold in the past, right now, apply Dominion Tree & Shrub as a drench to these plants to control the insects that produce the black sooty mold. Get it out now to protect the new foliage from insect attack. Insects, like us (cabbage, spinach, lettuce), like that young tender foliage.
The cooler nights have given us a longer window for preemerge products. Get them out now for less hot, gnatty, summertime weeding and competition for your plants.
Always read, understand and follow product label. The product label is a federal law.

WASHINGTON Turning the page on years of war and recession, President Barack Obama summoned a divided nation Monday to act with passion and dedication to broaden equality and prosperity at home, nurture democracy around the world and combat global warming as he embarked on a second term before a vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the historic National Mall.
Americas possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands, the 44th president declared in a second inaugural address that broke new ground by assigning gay rights a prominent place in the wider struggle for equality for all.
In a unity plea to politicians and the nation at large, he called for collective action to confront challenges and said, Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time but it does require us to act in our time.
Elected four years ago as Americas first black president, Obama spoke from specially constructed flag-bedecked stands outside the Capitol after reciting the oath of office that all presidents have uttered since the nations founding.
The events highlighted a day replete with all the fanfare a security-minded capital could muster from white-gloved Marine trumpeters who heralded the arrival of dignitaries on the inaugural stands to the orange flowers that graced the tables at a traditional lunch with lawmakers inside the Capitol.
The weather was relatively warm, in the mid-40s, and while the crowd was not as large as on Inauguration Day four years ago, it was estimated at up to 1 million. Big enough that he turned around as he was leaving the inaugural stands to savor the view one final time.
Im not going to see this again, said the man whose political career has been meteoric from the Illinois Legislature to the U.S. Senate and the White House before marking his 48th birthday.
On a day of renewal for democracy, everyone seemed to have an opinion, and many seemed eager to share it.
Im just thankful that weve got another four years of democracy that everyone can grow in, said Wilbur Cole, 52, a postman from suburban Memphis, Tenn., who spent part of the day visiting the civil rights museum there at the site where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.
King and Lincoln
The inauguration this year shared the day with Kings birthday holiday, and the president used a Bible that had belonged to the civil rights leader for the swearing-in, along with a second one that been Abraham Lincolns. The president also paused inside the Capitol Rotunda to gaze at a dark bronze statue of King.
Others were less upbeat than Cole. Frank Pinto, 62, and an unemployed construction contractor, took in the inaugural events on television at a bar in Hartford, Conn. He said because of the presidents policies, My grandkids will be in debt and their kids will be in debt.
The tone was less overtly political in the nations capital, where bipartisanship was on the menu in the speechmaking and at the congressional lunch. Congratulations and Godspeed, House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, said to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as he presented them with flags that had flown atop the Capitol.
Diverse celebration
Outside, the Inaugural Parade took shape, a reflection of American musicality and diversity that featured military units, bands, floats, the Chinese American Community Center Folk Dance Troupe from Hockessin, Del., and the Isiserettes Drill & Drum Corps from Des Moines, Iowa.
The crowds were several rows deep along parts of the route, and security was intense. More than a dozen vehicles flanked the presidents limousine as it rolled down Pennsylvania Avenue, and several agents walked alongside on foot.
The president emerged from his car and walked several blocks on foot. His wife, Michelle, was with him, and the two held hands while acknowledging the cheers from well-wishers during two separate strolls along the route.
Accompanied by their children and the vice president and his family, the first couple settled in to view the parade from a reviewing stand built in front of the White House.
A pair of nighttime inaugural balls completed the official proceedings.
Obama addressed cheering crowds at the Commander in Chief Ball, speaking by video to thank a group of troops in southern Afghanistan. Then he introduced his date, Michelle Obama, who danced with her husband in a ruby chiffon and velvet gown while Jennifer Hudson sang Lets Stay Together.
In his brief, 18-minute speech, Obama did not dwell on the most pressing challenges of the past four years. He spoke up for the poor Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it and for those on the next-higher rung We believe that Americas prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. The second reference echoed his calls from the presidential campaign that catapulted him to re-election
A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun, said the president who presided over the end to the U.S. combat role in Iraq, set a timetable for doing the same in Afghanistan and took office when the worst recession in decades was still deepening.
Engine of progress
The former community organizer made it clear he views government as an engine of progress. His emphasis on the need to combat global climate change was unexpected, as was his firm declaration of support for full gay rights.
In a jab at climate-change doubters, he said, Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms. He said America must lead in the transition to sustainable energy resources.
He likened the struggle for gay rights to earlier crusades for womens suffrage and racial equality. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well, said the president, who waited until his campaign last year to announce his support for gay marriage.

Prince Harry is well known for being able to take a joke, but maybe this one crossed a line.
A comedy show in Britain is being accused of degrading the royal family after including a sexually explicit joke about the prince in one of its sketches.
At one point during Monday's broadcast of Fresh Meat on Channel 4, one character said to another: "I'll take you to a place on the King's Road where Prince Harry got a hand j–– off an assistant manager at Abercrombie & Fitch."
That was too much for Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell, who told The Telegraph: "The media should not involve the royal family in this sort of thing. It's inappropriate and degrading, and it demeans the broadcasters that engage in it. It's just wrong."
Channel 4 defended the joke, saying the show is a "very irreverent comedy drama" and that the character was simply "attempting to impress his fellow students by ironically boasting about his own privilege."
Previously, on the BBC's Have I Got News for You on Oct. 25, guest presenter Jo Brand joked that the prince snorted cocaine during a bit about Prince George's godparents.
Brand said: "George's godparents include Hugh van Cutsem ... I presume that's a nickname as in 'Hugh van cuts 'em and Harry then snorts 'em.' "
Defense minister Anna Soubry called the crack "disgraceful, shoddy, appalling and out of order" and demanded an apology.
But The Guardian reports that a spokesman for the BBC said: "Have I Got News for You is a satirical news quiz and the audience is used to the often irreverent humor."
The spokesman added: "This line was a play on words as part of a section on the surnames of those involved in the christening and was clearly tongue-in-cheek."
Harry, 29, who has a reputation for being quite the party prince (as seen in his notorious visit to Las Vegas last year), has not commented on the uproar.

Call for Submissions: On the Margins of King Arthur's World (Edited Collection)
King Arthur was one of the central figures in medieval European literature and continues to enthrall readers and researchers today. From its inception, the legend of the once and future king has incorporated characters, motifs, and settings from various sources as it expanded and evolved, but many of those expansions have, in the main, been neglected by scholars. In an essay on the state of Arthurian scholarship in the 21st century, eminent medievalist Norris J. Lacy laments the tendency of scholars to focus on "the same old texts" of the Arthurian canon; for example, he notes that in the final decades of the 20th century, an average of one study per year dealt with French texts written after those of Chrétien de Troyes, whereas Chrétien's works were the subject of an average of 66 studies per year. "Obviously," he states, "however much we may talk about expanding or exploding the canon, there has been at best only a very modest increase in attention given to what we apparently persist in considering minor romances." We are therefore planning an edited collection that demonstrates the benefits of redirecting our gaze from the center to the margins. We welcome proposals from scholars in all disciplines on any aspect of the Arthurian margins in the Middle Ages, including real and imagined geography; borderlands between the secular, the sacred and the supernatural; displaced, non-human and marginal figures; lesser-known texts; manuscript marginalia and illustrations; etc.
If you are interested in contributing to this collection, please submit a 1-2 page abstract with a preliminary bibliography to both editors (Dr. Tara Foster and Dr. Jon Sherman; firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com) by November 1, 2012. We will respond to all submissions by December 1, 2012. Essays should be 7,000-10,000 words in length (including references) and the first draft is due June 15, 2013.
We are also seeking participants for our seminar on the same theme at this year's American Comparative Literature Association conference. While the volume will focus solely on medieval works, the ACLA seminar is open to works from all time periods. Papers for the seminar might therefore include modern adaptations; marginal media such as graphic novels, videogames, or television adaptations; etc. The ACLA conference will take place in Toronto, Canada on April 4-7, 2013. Abstracts of 250-300 words are due by November 1, and should be submitted on the ACLA website (http://www.acla.org/acla2013/). Abstracts will be reviewed and the the ACLA seminar panel will be finalized by November 15, 2012.

On a recent snowy Saturday morning, an extraordinary event happened on U.S. Hwy. 51 right outside of Tomahawk. Some ordinary people, along with a couple of seasoned EMS workers, all got together and helped save the life of a young girl. The act demonstrates that, once again, the Northwoods has some of the best employees, residents and visitors anyone could ask for.
It started as a simple drive south in the family van on U.S. Hwy. 51 for Wendy Schuman and her 10-year-old daughter, Kimberly. The day changed drastically, however, when the van hit a patch of ice, lost control and rolled over, ejecting Kimberly.
It should be noted that a witness told the investigating deputy that Wendy was not traveling at a high rate of speed when she attempted to pass a slow-moving vehicle. Additionally, Kimberly had been properly belted, but removed it for just for a moment to grab something that fell to the floor. How many parents know how often that happens, not only with their children, but with themselves, too? Who would ever expect that a crash would happen at that exact moment? But in the blink of an eye, it did.
In that frightening moment, several motorists put aside their own weekend plans, stopped on the highway and rushed to help and start digging the young girl free as she lay trapped from the chest up under the vehicle. Soon, Brian Teeters and Steve Taskay from Tomahawk EMS were on the scene to lend their years of experience to the effort.
It must have seemed like an eternity, but in a matter of minutes, Kimberly was free and heading to the hospital. She was then air-flighted by helicopter to Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield and released the following day after being treated for her injuries.
This, all in thanks to the efforts of the many strangers – people who probably will never find out what happened to her – as well as our local Lincoln County Sheriff's Department deputies and dispatchers, Tomahawk EMS workers, Tomahawk firefighters. While everyone continues on their way, knowing they did the right thing, we want to recognize how important their efforts were for this child and how crucial they continue to be in the future.
Everyone in Tomahawk knows what is like to hear that helicopter come in, most say a prayer for whomever it is coming for. Not many people realize what a wonderful system we have in place until they need it. Here's credit to those people who dedicate themselves to protecting us – from the trooper, deputy, paramedic and EMT, or just the bystander with a shovel on a cold February morning. Together they all saved a life, and what a beautiful thing that is.
Donation sought
Wendy Schuman, who suffers from a disability and is unable to work, is not able to afford a new vehicle at this time after the family van was damaged in the accident. Anyone willing to help, or who has a vehicle to donate, may call Neighbors In Need at 453-5939.

SALEM - The Salem Storybook Museum will present a series of lectures titled, "Monday at the Museum."
The first one begins at 7 p.m. March 18 in the library at Kent State University City Center featuring Janet Slusser, a noted violinist. She will demonstrate the violin and perform several musical selections.
"Monday at the Museum" is a concept by Robert Viencek, special events coordinator and fundraising chairman for the Salem Storybook Museum.

"The first original painting that the museum acquired is entitled 'Fiddler of the Northern Lights' by artist Leslie Bowman," said Viencek. "It is from a delightful children's book written by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock. The story is about a young boy named Henry who is spellbound by the wonderful stories his grandfather tells. He is particularly taken by a mysterious musician who travels the north woods in winter.
"I wanted to do something to tie in with the painting, and what would be more enjoyable or appropriate than to have a violinist," said Viencek. "And we found an excellent one."
Slusser grew up in Bethel Park, Pa. Her parents were interested in music and encouraged their daughter. She studied privately with Joseph Angel of the Pittsburgh Symphony for five years. He helped her acquire a Johannes Gagliano 1804 violin which she continues to use today.
Slusser attended the University of Mount Union where she performed with many musical ensembles. She taught music for 20 years in the Alliance City School District and was the orchestra director there for 16 years. In addition to giving private lessons, she taught a course at Mount Union titled "Teaching of Stringed Instruments" for future music teachers. She has played in several orchestras including the Columbus Symphony, Parma Civic Symphony, Mansfield Symphony, Alliance Symphony, Tuscarawas Philharmonic and Alliance String Quartet.
A unique part of her program will be to include children in the audience. She will have a small violin for them to attempt to play.
"Many organizations in the area are featuring lecture series," said Viencek. "The Salem Historical Society has done many wonderful programs. The lyceum (public lectures) was popular in America with writers such as Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain."
"We want to invite parents, children, grandparents-everyone in fact, to come out to the lecture series," said Elizabeth Thatcher, director of the Salem Storybook Museum. "We have some wonderful programs lined up. The museum will be open for guests to have a look at our art collection," she said.
The board of directors for the museum will be in attendance including Janis Yereb, retired art instructor from Salem City Schools, the art curator for the museum.
"Monday at the Museum" is free to the public. Refreshments will be served and a door prize awarded.

Homeownership Isn't A Short-Term Investment
|Email Print
Don't buy a home to make money because you won't.
At the end of May, my wife and I will have owned our home for three years. It was a home that we purchased six months behind the burst of the housing boom and one that has still appreciated in the time since, a testament to the strength of the housing market in the area between Baltimore and Washington D.C. In our little development, similarly designed homes have been selling in the $310k-$320k, or about $15k-$25k more than what we paid for our home. Some of those don't have the full basement renovation ours has, some don't have new windows (which means they're 25 years old), and so one might be tempted to say that those homes would sell for a couple thousand more if they did have some of those amenities. Even so, does that mean we "made" $15k-$25k on paper on our home investment?
Nope. We've spent $7,000 on new windows and sliding doors (a great deal I think), about $900 to carpet the basement, and will soon spend approximately $5,000 on a new roof. Total those up and you have yourself ~$14k of expenses. Okay, so deduct that from the $15k-$25k and you have an appreciation of $1k-$11k, not bad right? Then consider that we've paid nearly $35k in interest payments to the bank (of which a third is returned at tax time) and you see how this "investment" has actually lost us money.
Homeownership isn't a short-term investment. Not only isn't it a short-term investment, the majority of the "reward" derived from homeownership has more to do with living a better life than having more zeros in your bank account. Even though we have "lost" money (granted, we would've "lost" more had we been renting), we've made lots of great memories in the short time we've been in this house and had the pride of homeownership.

In the past two months, the Dine With Sal restaurant group closed Uno Mas and Sette in Mount Pleasant, and now the Boulevard Diner on James Island is dark.
So what's going on in the group that mushroomed over the past two decades from one restaurant with seven tables in 1994 to nine restaurants and 200 employees?
Andrea Sherman Parco, who handles marketing and personnel for the popular string of dining spots across greater Charleston and is the wife of owner Sal Parco, said it's all about finding balance by shaking off the less-profitable ventures and refining the six that remain, including opening on Sundays, a long-shunned practice of the dining group.
"Sometimes having more isn't the best way to have it all," she said. "We are not really downsizing, but right-sizing and adjusting and tweaking things."
She said her husband doesn't have time to visit nine restaurants as needed, so they closed three and are adding hours and new Sunday servings to most of the six remaining establishments.
The six are Mustard Seed lcoations in Mount Pleasant, James Island and Summerville; and Boulevard Diner, Long Point Grill and Village Bakery, all in Mount Pleasant.
For years, the Mount-Pleasant-based Dine With Sal group resisted Sunday openings, but that policy is being set aside with the new year to tap into the changing marketplace, Andrea Parco said.
The Boulevard Diner in Mount Pleasant was open this past Sunday for the first time, and the Mustard Seed in Mount Pleasant will open this Sunday for brunch. The following Sunday, the Mustard Seed on James island will open for brunch, and the next Sunday will see brunch offered at the Mustard Seed in Summerville.
Customers of the Boulevard Diner at 1978 Maybank Highway, which closed shortly after the new year began, are now directed next door to the Mustard Seed for breakfast.
And the Village Bakery, which makes cakes and desserts for the restaurant group in Mount Pleasant's Old Village and was open until 5 p.m., now serves farm-to-table fare from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. six days a week in the recast Village Bakery After Dark. The new service started Wednesday. It also will be available to rent for private parties.
As for the Long Point Grill, it will remain closed on Sunday for now, Parco said.
Dine With Sal owns the land under each of its restaurants, except for the Mustard Seed on James Island. Parco called the decision to buy the property "very smart" on her husband's part, as it will help them when it comes time to retire.
The Uno Mas site on Johnnie Dodds Boulevard is being marketed for lease, and Parco said there is a lot of interest. The former Sette on Coleman Boulevard is set to become the second location for Pane e Vino, a popular Italian restaurant in downtown Charleston, by late next week. Pane e Vino is leasing the site. The Parcos will concentrate on the lease for the closed Boulevard Diner on James Island once the Uno Mas site has a new occupant.
The extended hours at remaining restaurants also allowed Dine With Sal to transfer many existing staff members to other venues without imposing a lot of layoffs because of the closures, Parco said.
Surfs down
After nearly 15 years of serving the surfing and watersport community in the Charleston area, Charleston Watersport Outfitters in Mount Pleasant will close in late March. The lease on the 4,000-square-foot building expires April 1. Everything in the shop at 1255 Ben Sawyer Blvd. is on sale, said owner Dave Clifford. Clifford has his eye on a couple of other ventures, but they do not include another retail outlet.
Going dark
After several years of selling books, music and supplies, the Family Christian Store in Citadel Mall is closing. In the past year or so, the store near the Belk wing had converted to an overstock shop with items from its sister stores. Its last day will be Jan. 26. Look for items up to 75 percent off. The closing doesn't affect the store at Northwoods Mall.

"What is wrong with the EPA saying you can't dump toxic waste into streams, or states locking up lawbreakers?"
Government job is to protect everyone's private property, when government stays within these constraints government works well. When government steps outside these restraints and try's to modify one's behavior is where it runs into problems.
The above examples affect private property (depending on your definition of a "lawbreaker"), but can be better managed and penalties better levied at the state and local level. A one size fits all for 300 million people is unrealistic.

"The only thing government can do is create an environment for people to prosper and thrive."
I think we agree on that, but disagree on the definition or execution of "create an environment..."
I don't think government is always the answer, but I don't think it's usually the problem either. Individuals fall into both of those roles at nearly an equal percentage.
What is wrong with the EPA saying you can't dump toxic waste into streams, or states locking up lawbreakers? Why do you assume that because it is government, it is a problem; but don't have that same prejudice when it is private?

Bornandraised---> The difference is that you think that government is the answer where I believe, as Reagen once famously said, "government is the problem". Unions are fine as long as workers have a choice. Government cannot tell people what to eat, how to live their lives, etc. The only thing government can do is create an environment for people to prosper and thrive.

Okay, I actually do agree that single party government is generally a bad thing. But you guys blame the government for the state being so statistically low, when your party and views are also part of the reason. We have high obesity rates, but you balk at the idea of the state trying to get our citizens to make better food and life choices. We have low test scores, but the number one idea I hear about education reform from conservatives is to abolish the teachers unions; when many (not all) of the needed/suggested educational changes could be done WITH the unions, instead of against it. We want to take advantage of the abundant natural gas available in the state, but much like coal mining decades ago, conservatives think that ensuring the safety of workers and citizns in the surrounding areas would hinder development of the resource, so they rally for less oversight.

""Control of government by a single party, whichever it is, is not a good thing."
Wow. That is one of the most ignorant statements The Editor has ever printed."

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Stetson University women's tennis team took two singles matches and a doubles match from Florida Gulf Coast, Wednesday, but it was not enough as the Hatters fell to the Eagles 5-2 in Ft. Myers.
Playing on court three, Eveline Lepinay and Lindsey Cable claimed their team's lone doubles match, 8-4 against FGCU's Breana Stampfli and Candela Munoz Giron.
"FGCU played excellent doubles today, we were leading 6-2 at No. 1 and they played well enough to come back, taking the important point," said Director of Stetson Tennis Pierre Pilote. "Winning the doubles point would have change the momentum of the match since we were already playing short ended"
On court No. 1 in singles competition, Stetson's Diana Bukajeva reigned supreme; defeating the Eagles' Sarah Means in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1, but Florida Gulf Coast took match-ups on courts No. 2, 3, 4 and 6 to secure the victory.
Lepinay won her tilt with FGCU's Elizabeth Means, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 on court No. 5 to give the Hatters their pair of singles victories on the day.
"It's a disappointing lost because of the importance of the match in relations to making the conference championship," Pilote explained.
Stetson, now 10-3 next hosts nationally ranked North Florida, Saturday, Mar. 22 at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, where the Hatters are undefeated this season (6-0).
Match play between SU and UNF gets underway at 2 p.m., with doubles competition to lead things off. The Ospreys are ranked 63rd in the nation and play FGCU in Ft. Myers on Friday before their trip to DeLand.

"I thought it was supposed to be cooler today." Mommal sighed, passenger side while I drove to her hair appointment.
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the seventies!"
"Oh I love the seventies!" she smiled and looked on. I wondered if she thinks I am a bad driver. I try to go slow and take every bump with ease. She holds onto the door frame.
She's 76. I'm going to drop her off and then grocery shop until her hair dresser calls my cell and let's me know she's ready. I replace all the expired condiments from her refrigerator. I buy her magazines. People is her favorite especially if Kim Kardashian is on the cover. She will try to give me some money but I won't take it. Was I burden to her when she took care of me long ago? No, of course not. Well, same thing.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Dru Joyce II said it was "surreal" walking through the doors of his boyhood church on Sunday.
Joyce, under whose tutelage LeBron James blossomed into the world-class player he is today, was the guest speaker for an "empowerment service" at Sheridan African Methodist Episcopal Church, 301 W. Ninth St., East Liverpool, on Sunday.
"It's been almost 40 years since I walked through those doors," he told congregants, several of whom he hugged prior to the service. He was introduced by his aunt, Florence Martin.

Although he was the guest of honor, selected to give the "words of empowerment," Joyce disabused the congregation of any notion that he was a minister.
"I'm a believer - not a preacher," the soft-spoken Joyce said in a talk punctuated by emotion.
Joyce, a 1973 graduate of East Liverpool High School, grew up attending Sheridan AME and attributes the man he is today to the training and teaching he received there.
"It really began as a small boy, on that first pew, hearing those great stories of our God," he said. "The God-consciousness that began here was enough that, in a very dark time in my life, I knew where to turn," he said to several amens.
Joyce said his mother saw to it that he attended services at Sheridan AME. "I was here every Sunday. I was here through high school, sitting in those back rows," he said. Between Sunday school and Sunday worship, he and his friends would go to a neighborhood Dairy Queen that is no longer open.
Joyce has now been coach at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School for 12 years. During that time, he has led the high school to three state titles, including the one in 2003 that followed on the heels of a storied, undefeated season with the "Fab Five" - James, Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee, Sian Cotton and Romeo Travis.
"I've had more success coaching basketball than some men have had in their whole career," he said. "That's only because of God's favor."
In a March 2012 interview, Joyce told The Review that he has fond memories of growing up in East Liverpool. "I lived on the West End," he said. "We had a close family there with a lot of cousins living in the same neighborhood. I enjoyed my time there."
After high school, he spent a year at Ashland College (now Ashland University) before transferring and finishing his degree in business administration at Ohio University in Athens. Joyce spent 25 years in the corporate world, working in sales for food giant ConAgra.
Joyce got his start in coaching helping his son in church leagues. "I was just a dad who helped out. I just got involved," he said on Sunday.
Soon, he began coaching travel basketball with the Amateur Athletic Union, and things took off from there. "We had a very good group of kids," Joyce said. "That happened to include my son and a guy named LeBron James. I was working under Keith Dambrot (current coach at the University of Akron) at St. Vincent-St. Mary, and he decided to go back to coach college. He thought I was doing a good job with the travel team, so I took over when he left. Coaching was always something I wanted to do."
Joyce also has made a name for himself leading the King James Shooting Stars travel team tournament in Akron, which had 530 participants in last year's event.
As for LeBron James, Joyce said he remains in regular contact.
"He helps our program out tremendously," he said. "I'm also the director of his youth camp, and we still communicate. My son is still one of his closest friends."
Joyce said he would welcome James back to northeast Ohio, to the Cleveland Cavaliers, if he chose to do that.
"Well, I'm an Ohio guy, so I'd love to have him back," Joyce said. "But I recognize why he left, and I think it was a great decision for him. It's the nature of professional sports that your legacy is championships, and they couldn't get it done here. But if he comes back, it would be great. And with as much as Cleveland fans say about him, they'd love to have him back too."

The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF), the country's oldest and largest myeloma organization, celebrated 2004 as a year of tremendous success for the organization, and the patients and families it serves.
2004 saw the realization of many of the IMF's dreams. We raised more money than we have in any other single year; our membership has flourished and we can see that patients are availing themselves of our programs, website, and publications as never before; Bank On A Cure® has become a reality; and we received a major grant from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The organization is the most comprehensive resource for myeloma patients and has become all that we dreamed it could be when it was founded in 1990.
The IMF raised a record-breaking $4.3 million, exceeding annual donations of any previous year. The IMF focuses its attention in four areas: Research, Education, Support, and Advocacy. The outstanding support we've received will be used to fund the expansion of our cornerstone programs, including the IMF's groundbreaking research project, Bank On A Cure, as well as the Junior and Senior Research grants, our many educational and support programs, our publicationsMyeloma Today, the web site, and our comprehensive information packages and our world-famous toll-free hotline.
Also in 2004, the IMF membership ranks swelled to more than 120,000 members in 113 countries. Not surprisingly, the IMF's website received more than 28 million hits and an average of 200 people attended each IMF Patient & Family Seminar. In addition, more than 20,000 myeloma information packets were sent out to patients worldwide.
The IMF's cutting-edge research initiative, Bank On A Cure, became a reality in 2004. Bank On A Cure is the first comprehensive, myeloma-specific, cancer patient DNA bank in history. Last year, DNA collection began from patients and institutions worldwide. Through this program, DNA samples are being collected and genetically analyzed to help develop new and more effective therapies and to better understand, and ultimately, cure myeloma.
The IMF was also extremely honored to have been awarded a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in September 2004. The grant exceeded $250,000 and can be renewed for two additional years at the CDC's discretion. The IMF was thrilled to be recognized by the CDC in this manner and will use the funds to reach an even greater number of myeloma patients with the information and services they need.
Finally, the IMF would like to thank all of our supporters who helped make 2004 a success. You responded so generously to our direct mail appeal that you made it the most successful appeal ever. This year's Gala was also a huge success, raising nearly half a million dollars. Dr. Durie was deeply touched by the outpouring of good wishes as well as by the recognition of his life's achievement and of his dedication to helping patients through his research and clinical work.
On behalf of the IMF, its Board of Directors, and the members we serve, please accept a most sincere thank you for helping us help others as we work toward finding a cure.

ninaThat's really your individual take. She was not the producer of the extremely popular tv Sex and the city. She didn't select herself for the role. Somebody must have thought that she was a good actress and fitted the role. And they weren't disappointed. She indeed was the most popular of the girls, she was the star of the show. As for looks, not every attractive person must have a doll face.February 23, 2012 at 3:22PM EST
No oneAre you both INSANE?? Sarah Jessica Parker was the lead actress for the television show Sex and the City, not Katherine Horkel.
I still have no idea how Heigel ended up being one of the most popular characters on Grey's. As for range, I can tell you that as a trained actor who's been on television myself, NO, she has none. She stuck to her same old tricks instead of real technique while on that show, and it's always stuck in my craw that she thought so highly of herself as to think she could pull off being a movie star. Hubris. Comes back to bite you in your ass every time.February 8, 2013 at 10:23PM EST

That Werewolf GuyDoes Nic Cage's career need to be saved? His films (and acting styles) may be controversial among audiences and critics, but I can't remember many movies of his, that tanked. I even read a while ago (can't find the link, sorry), that he is still one of the most profitable stars in Hollywood!
Also I wouldn't call OSMOSIS JONES the low point of the Farellys. It's a highly underrated movie. Especially compared to FEVER PITCH, THE HEARTBREAK KID and HALL PASS.
Don't know about Gibson's acting career, but I'm sure he will continue to blow everybody's mind as director.
And does anyone care what George Lucas is doing? The fans are still buying his merchandise and every new version of his movies on home video, even though they seem to hate four of the six Star Wars movies and still haven'T decided if the current CLONE WARS show is good or not.
Do we really WANT Stephen Sommers to be saved? He made one so-bad-it's-fun movie with DEEP RISING and one bad-but-watchable one with G.I. Joe, but apart from that, he is one of the blandest and most incompetent filmmakers in Hollywood (with a talent for putting seriously gruesome deaths in PG-13 movies!)
I think it's very clear that Chris Tucker doesn't want to be saved. He makes every few years a movie for a huge paycheck, then disappears and then returns when he wants to. It's not that he is shooting crappy DTV kids movies or something like that.February 21, 2012 at 7:15AM ESTReply to Comment
Ellichar (guest)Well, let's see: Chris Tucker is an Eddie Murphy wannabe, Lindsay Lohan needs to get back to her natural red hair and move to New York and do stage and TV work to rebuild her career, Halle Berry should do a romantic comedy and SJP should try her hand at drama. Katherine Heigl seems to have burned bridges thanks to her ego and finds herself persona non grata in Hollywood, but Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn't belong obn this list: first she spent the past two years taking care of her family as Michael fought cancer, and also she managed to win a Tony for "A Little Night Music" on Broadway. Hopefully someone will do a new movie version with her and Angela Lansbury doing their roles from the Broadway revival.February 21, 2012 at 9:16AM ESTReply to CommentLike (7)Latest Likes:7 Anonymous

That Werewolf GuyI think the only way to save Adam Sandler, is to make two or three of his movies in a row tank hard at the box office. He obviously doesn't care anymore, as long as the money keeps coming. But even though I know many people who claim he never was funny, I pretty much loved every thing he did between BILLY MADISON and DEEDS. After that...nothing.
Brendan Fraser...oh man, he really needs to work with the right people, doing the right material. He annoys me most of the time, but then he was so great in BLAST FROM THE PAST, his three episodes of SCRUBS and...yes, I say it, GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE (Say what you want about this movie, but he was absolutely perfect in it.)February 21, 2012 at 10:23AM EST

Academy Award nominee Eddie Murphy (guest)Didn't Catherine Zeta-Jones win a Tony a year or two back? Perhaps she could have a whole new career on stage? She was once a pretty good actress, and I'm all in favor of heavier actresses getting respect (ala Monique/Melissa McCarthy), but it appears she is taking the Anjelica Huston approach by becoming almost mannish as she ages. The difference? Huston comes from a royal family of Hollywood and actually has built an entire career for herself, not just a few good movies in a pretty hapless career.
Uma Thurman has the greatest potential for a comeback, with Zeta-Jones in a distant 2nd place.February 21, 2012 at 11:28AM ESTReply to Comment

MulderismHow do you define success in Hollywood? By critical acclaim or financial success? If it's by financial success then George Lucas's hollywood career is doing very well, thank you very much.
If he wants critical acclaim then he needs to set aside his massive ego and listen to the fans. Like his buddy Spielberg did.
Steven Spielberg tried tampering with ET by using CGI to animate ET in some scenes and by replacing the soldier's guns with walkie-talkies. Fans of the film hated these 'improvements'. Spielberg listened to his fans and said he would never do that again and released ET in its original theatrical format. Spielberg gets it.
Why won't Lucas do that? Why won't he listen to his fans and release a pre-Special Edition Star Wars on blu-ray? Would it be cost effective? Would it put more money in his coffers? Almost assuredly yes.
But that would mean conceding to the fans. That would be admitting that people prefer his old work and reject the numerous 'improvements' and prefer his 'unfinished' versions that were made in the day where technology had not caught up to his vision.
When George Lucas calls the shots and won't listen to anyone else you end up with the much maligned Star Wars prequels, Indy 4 and Red Tails. The latter of which will probably end up being his most commercial failure financially.
From recent interviews it seems that Lucas seems determined to take his ball and go home rather than listen to criticism and take it to heart.

Amber M (guest)This meager attempt at entertainment is a joke! Honestly, some of the people listed on this list are among my favorite actors and actresses, many of which I might add, have amazingly successful careers. I think if someone is going to go out of their way of making up such list people should spend a little more time doing their research and selecting appropriate people. I just think it is a joke that almost everyone listed have been responsible for representing some of our favorite characters from our most remembered movies.February 24, 2012 at 2:40PM ESTReply to Comment
treyI agree. Half of the people on here are already legends.

MFI think you are analyzing this list a little too much... You are right on the fact that MOST are great actors and do not need to work again. I think the writer is trying to say these actors/directors were once on the top of every list for movies. They are just couple of steps away from that royalty again.

The FDA granted Illumina premarket clearance for its MiSeqDx system, the first high-throughput DNA sequencing analyzer to receive such approval. Illumina also received FDA premarket clearance for the MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay, MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Sequencing Assay, and MiSeqDx Universal Kit.
"Illumina is proud to be the first company to obtain FDA clearance for a high-throughput DNA sequencing analyzer and next-generation sequencing-based assays," said Greg Heath, senior vp and general manager of Illumina's diagnostics business. "With the FDA clearance of the MiSeqDx, Illumina is providing clinicians and clinical laboratories with the tools needed to obtain comprehensive and reliable results from a DNA sequencing analyzer and enabling them to create and deploy NGS-based molecular diagnostic tests for cystic fibrosis and a wide range of other applications."
Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director, NIH, lauded the FDA decision, calling it a "landmark move" that will help to realize the promise of personalized medicine.
"I commend the FDA not only for the immediate impact of its decision, but for the pathway it has created for the clearance of future devices that may incorporate further improvements in sequencing technology and cost effectiveness," he said. "The availability of high-throughput DNA sequencers will enable physicians to take a comprehensive look at a patient's genetic blueprint, or genome, to search for a wide range of variations or changes that increase risk of disease, drive the disease process, and/or affect response to medications and other treatments."
The MiSeqDx benchtop sequencer offers users the ability to run diagnostic or research applications on a single, easy-to-use system, explained Heath. "Designed and validated for the clinical market, the MiSeqDx with the portfolio of FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic kits and assays leverage Illumina's sequencing by synthesis chemistry for high confidence in results," he continued.
The MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay is designed for simultaneous detection of 139 clinically relevant disease-causing mutations and variants within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The assay includes all cystic fibrosis-causing variants recommended for carrier screening purposes by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Sequencing Assay leverages Illumina's targeted resequencing chemistry to provide highly accurate sequencing data for the protein coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the CFTR gene, according to Heath, who added that the MiSeqDx Universal Kit enables clinical laboratories to develop their own diagnostic tests.

Google Translate
What you will need:
Omni OB1 Series A House Filter
2- 1/2" Male Threaded Adaptors with Barb end
2- 3/4" 90 degree Street fitting
2- 3/4" PVC Male Adaptor
2- 3/4" x 1/2" PVC Bushing
1- 3/4" CPVC Coupling - Note this has to be CPVC not PVC as the PVC fittings are too big
1- 6 3/4" x 3/4" CPVC Pipe - Again has to be CPVC and not PVC
PVC Primer and Cement
CO2 Tubing
Teflon Thread Tape
Needle Nose Pliers
Filter Tubing
Drill and Drill bit for your CO2 Tubing
Total cost as ~ $23 each about the same as the Rex Griggs inline reactor if you don't use clear pvc.
Filter Housing:
Start by removing the Priming Button via the screw on the inside of the lid for the housing:
Drill out the hole to accept your CO2 tubing this hole shpould be smaller then your CO2 Tubing so it creates its' own seal.
Cut the CO2 tubing at a sharp angle so you can stick it through and pull it with the needle nose pliers. This should be slightly tough to pull through as it will create a seal as you pull the tubing through.
Cut the CPVC pipe off at 6 3/4", if you are using a different filter you may have to adjust the cut off length. I cut mine so it was about 3/4" off the bottom. Push the CPVC coupler over the nipple in the lid, should fit really snug. Then push the CPVC pipe into the coupler. I didn't glue this together as it was a snug fit and should be under little pressure.
Lay out and glue the fittings together, with the fitting I chose you won't need any extra 3/4" pipe as all the fittings go together.
Attach the fittings to each side jsut make sure you hook them up according to the Flow marking on the lid. Finished Product.
I will update tomorrow once I install these as to how effective they are, but based on looks they should function really well. According to the article I linked to about he got a .5 PH change in a matter of minutes.

|@WaterLife I know the adjustable water filters with a built in cut off on top, have much smaller holes than the regular ones. I made the mistake of buying one of those first, thinking it would be a good thing, then noticed the holes inside were like 5/16" dia. That's just a guess, but they looked tiny. Had to go buy another one
|Anyone have links from Amazon for a WHF housing? The one I got at lowes has inlet and outlets that look super restrictive and is cutting my flow. This is for a 100 gallon. And a link to the center pipe, I used tubing but the Co2 is eating it. Like a defacto setup that is tried and true.
Anyone have experience using a SunSun 304/404 with either a Cerges or Griggs reactor in-line and can comment on flow rate reduction? Size of reactor housing (and maybe inlet/outlet diameters) info may be helpful.
What @Immortal1 stated about smaller internal holes on Cerges whole house filter housings makes sense. Anyone have a particular brand of WHF housing that had large holes/didn't reduce much flow?
I assume Griggs style reactors would not have the same issues (small holes significantly reducing flow)
I was thinking of doing a 20" Cerges since I liked the WHF housing appearance better than PVC Griggs, but if flow rate would be reduced much more with the Cerges, or require a by-pass to be made with PVC, then I might just go straight ahead and build a PVC Griggs and avoid the hassle (likely save some dough too).
For the SunSun mentioned above, the Cerges housing should have 3/4" inlet/outlet threads right, not 3/8"?
If I went the Griggs design, I would probably still do at least 20" in length (standing tall). What diameter pipes should be used?
Hello everyone,
I need advice on a buying a pump for this style of reactor. How many GPH do I want running into it. Tank is 55 gal before substrate, wood and plantings so I'm guessing it's about 45 gal or so. What size Cerges filter should I buy a 10" or 20"? Filter is a small Wet / Dry. Thanks for the advice....
Burr, are you asking about 8 bubbles per second at 10 psi cO2 pressure verses 8 bubbles per second at 30 psi cO2 pressure?
If so, then yes, there would be a big difference - if....
and the "if" is the tough part of the discussion to understand for some. I will give it a try. To begin with, assume the amount of water column pressure within the reactor is 10psi. If you set your cO2 regulator at 10psi then there really is not much incentive for the cO2 gas to travel thru the bubble counter and down the tube into the reactor.
If you set your cO2 regulator at 20psi then your cO2 would have an incentive to go into the reactor. Would it be a 10psi incentive? Likely not. The water colume pressure within the reactor will only put up a certian amount of resistance to the inbound cO2 gas. If you were to adjust the cO2 regulator to 30psi then you would assume your getting a lot more cO2 per bubble but again, the small tube from the regulator to the reactor offers very little resistance and the water colume pressure is still only 10psi (assuming for discussion).
Now, if you had a different type if cO2 dispersion method, say an in tank ceramic diffuser then the regulator pressure can make a significant difference. The diffuser is offering much more resistance than an open tube. Lets assume the diffuser requires 25 psi to blow tiny bubbles and at 35psi it blows a lot more tiny bubbles. My guess would be 8 bubbles per second at 35 psi would yield more cO2 dispersed than 8 bubbles per second at 25 psi.
Wow, lot of mumbo jumbo :-)
How about some more. If you mount your Cerges or Griggs reactor in such a way so that the top of the reactor was even with the water level in your tank, then the water column pressure within the reactor would be nearly zero. The incoming water from your canister filter would bounce the cO2 bubbles around a bunch but wound not necessarily "squeeze" the cO2 bubbles into submission. Also, the amount of cO2 pressure within the small open ended tube would be nearly zero psi so the amount of cO2 getting into the reactor would be very small.
If you mounted your reactor in such a way so that the top of the reactor was 10 feet below the water level of your tank there would be a significant amount of water column pressure to "squeeze" the cO2 bubbles into submission! Also, there would be a significantly higher amount of resistance to cO2 gas entering the reactor so you would have to increase your regulator psi which inturn would greatly increase the amount of cO2 gas entering the reactor!
Pretty sure non of us would like to mount our tanks 10' in the air. But, for those who have the display tank mounted on the first floor and the sump / filter equipment setup in the basement - I would guess you could dump a lot of cO2 into the water column!
As for the rest of us with normal setups, I would like to propose an interesting question. Which would be better, a 30" tall Griggs reactor made out of 2" PVC and mounted vertically under the tank? Or a 10" tall Griggs reactor made out of 6" PVC mounted vertically with the bottom of the reactor mounted a low as possible?
Ok, too much thinking. Time for a beer.

Still fine tuning my griggs and just wondering. On one hand seems like there would be no difference, but on the other hand seems like there might be.
Thanks so much, super helpful. I'll try it out.
IUnknown, having built several Cerges reactors I can offer a few bits of info regarding your situation.
Some of the whole house filters have fairly small holes leading into and out of the filter. This ends up causing the poor flow at the tank output. One way of fixing this is to add a regulated bypass to the Cerges reactor.
As for your reactor filling up with air / cO2, this would be an indication of running too many bubbles per second for the amount of water flowing thru the reactor. Not sure why, but it seems if you have a little slower flow rate thru the reactor, it seems to absorb the cO2 faster. For my system I run 5-8 bubbles per second without issue. Anything more than 8 and I start building a bubble in the top of the reactor.
|I have been having issues with my cerges reactor filling up with air, and worried that the flow rate has been reduced too much. Haven't read the whole thread, but does the DIY Griggs style reactor provide more flow? Why is air filling up?

Moolangi Saaru - Rasam with Radish
I usually make plain saarus with vegetable heavy palyas on the side. Sometimes I include vegetables in the saaru and when I do, it is usually mooli. Both the kids like this and that is a bonus.
True to my short-cut heavy ways, the saaru also get done faster than, say, how my mom used to make. Usually the dal is cooked separately and then the saaru pudi (rasam powder) is added, which has to be boiled on low for a long time in order to smoothen the sharpness of the masala. Then the seasonings and tadka are added later. I pretty much cook everything in the pressure cooker. With a rather large one, I even cook rice, dal and sometimes veggies (like I did for the beans bhaji here) together in one shot, though in separate containers.
Toor dal - 1/2 cup
Radish - daikon 3-4 (or a bunch of small, red) cut into thin roundels
Tomato - 1 medium, halved
1 heaped tsp saaru pudi or rasam powder (or to taste)
1/2 tsp thick tamarind concentrate (about a lemon sized amount, if using raw)
1.5-2 tsp shredded jaggery
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
1 tsp chopped cilantro
1 tsp coconut shreds
Ghee, mustard seeds, jeera, curry leaves, heeng
Pour dal into a vessel that fits into a pressure cooker and wash with water multiple times, until clean. Add 4-5 cups of water, rasam powder, turmeric powder, radish and tomato.
Set it inside the pressure cooker, stacking along with other containers (like for rice), if using.
Cook until the dal is soft (2 whistles in my cooker but it can vary).
In a pan, heat ghee and do the tadka. Add the cooked dal, salt, tamarind and jaggery. With the ladle, squish the tomato (or you could just use chopped tomatoes in the first place but somehow, I end up following my mom's way each time) and mix well into the dal.
Add more water for a thinner dal. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Once it comes to a boil, add chopped cilantro and coconut.
Serve with rice and ghee (yes, more ghee!)

Presidential candidates debate called off
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Apr 22 2012 16:29PM
- Manuel Cabral, the president of the Young Entrepreneurs Association (ANJE) has announced that they have been forced to cancel the debate between the presidential candidates Danilo Medina (PLD) and Hipolito Mejia (PRD), as Mejia has not confirmed his participation. Listin Diario quotes Cabral as saying that he had tried tirelessly to obtain Mejia`s formal written confirmation, but despite postponing the date from 17 April to 3 May, it had been impossible. He said that ANJE has hosted debates between congressional candidates since 2000 and this would have been the first debate between the presidential candidates in Dominican history, but they had not been able to reach agreement with the participants on the rules and the logistical aspects. Cabral said that the rules would have been the same as in previous years in that the only parties eligible to participate would be the ones that received more than 5% in the last elections. He said that they recognized that their efforts had not been not in vain and that they would continue to build on the initiative as the Dominican people deserve to see electoral debates.
