The Kids Are All Right star Julianne Moore was pictured taking her 8-year-old daughter Liv to school in New York City today (May 7). Liv was seen carrying a tin of goodies to class.
The 49-year-old actress recently talked about finding time for self-care amidst her busy schedule.
I do yoga. In fact, it's pretty much the only thing I do, believe it or not. Yoga is nice because it gives me time to just zone out. But once you have children it is shocking how quickly your day goes. I do a lot of that stuff with my kids. If I'm not working it really is just about my family. So even finding time for yoga is a challenge."
Julianne and her husband, director Bart Freundlich, are also parents to 12-year-old son Cal.View Slideshow »»

NEW YORK - Danny Evins, who created Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, a restaurant heavy on grits and nostalgia, expanded it into a $2 billion chain, and then fought a losing battle to discriminate against gay employees, died Saturday in Lebanon, Tenn. He was 76.
The cause was bladder cancer, said his former wife. Donna S. Evins.
In 1969, Mr. Evins was an oil jobber, as middlemen between gasoline refiners and retailers are known, when he was hit by an idea that was to change his life and the American highway: a down-home restaurant with rocking chairs on the front porch, a potbellied stove and fireplace inside, and a checkerboard on every table. The food - including catfish, biscuits and gravy, and pineapple upside-down cake - would be ample, reasonably priced, and swiftly delivered.
The concept was carried out by more than 600 company-owned restaurants in 42 states, with annual sales of more than $2.4 billion. After going public in 1981, so it could expand beyond the Southeast, it was a stock market darling.
The idea of staking out real estate at exits on Interstate highways to establish a distinctive alternative to fast food - one that included gift shops featuring homemade jellies in old-fashioned glass jars - elicited raves from financial analysts, truck drivers, and children just glad to be out of the car.
Mr. Evins sent a January 1991 directive to all the company's restaurants to fire employees "whose sexual preferences fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values.'' Mr. Evins's explanation for the edict was that gay people made customers in rural areas uncomfortable. As many as 16 openly or suspected gay employees were promptly fired.
Protests erupted at restaurants in dozens of cities and towns, boycotts were organized, and shareholders complained.
At a time when discrimination against gay people was not prohibited under the laws of most states or the federal government and many companies practiced it, Cracker Barrel's action stood out for its sheer blatancy.
In March 1991, Mr. Evins apologized and said the policy had been rescinded.
Dannie Wood Evins, who would later change his first name to reflect the conventional spelling, was born in Smithville, Tenn., and grew up in nearby Lebanon. He attended military school and served three years in the Marine Corps, then worked for two years as an aide to US Representative Joseph L. Evins, an uncle.
After working in a bank in the late 1950s, he distributed gasoline to a small chain of Shell stations, but they were on back roads when the Interstate highway system was pulling most travelers off local roads. He decided to build a gas station off Interstate 40 with a restaurant and gift shop attached.
He borrowed $40,000 to build that first Cracker Barrel. It turned a profit the first month.
Mr. Evins next raised $100,000 by selling half the new enterprise to 10 local investors. By 1978, he was running 15 Cracker Barrels; by 1992 he was running 124.
Mr. Evins's first two marriages ended in divorce. His wife, Margarita, died last year. He leaves his daughters, Daina Warren, Kate Page, and Betsy Jennings; his sons, Meacham and Joseph; and 13 grandchildren.

Class of 2013 prospect Alec Abeln (St. Louis/University) was offered by Missouri Wednesday night while attending the Tigers' basketball game against Iowa State and committed to sign with the program on Thursday, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune.
"The school that I wanted the most offered first, so it worked out nice," Abeln said. "I don't need to look anywhere else. There's no place I'd rather play... I like the fact that the coaches have been together for 17 years," he added. "I like that the players come up and introduce themselves to you and take interest in you and ask where you're from and things along those lines. There's not another place in the country I'd rather play."
Alben, a 6-foot-3, 275-pounder, plays offensive and defensive tackle in high school. He's expected to slide inside to center at Missouri. Illinois, Tulsa and Harvard were among the other programs showing interest, according to sources.
His mother, Julie, served as the "Truman the Tiger" mascot while attending Missouri in the 1980's.
Missouri now has four juniors, all from within state lines, on board for the Class of 2013.

DEAR AMY: As the holidays approach, I'm facing yet again the question of whether my adult sister is just a whiner with whom we must only sympathize or if we are really facing a problem that our family must resolve.
My sister is a light sleeper and wakes up whenever anyone moves around or makes other noise. Unfortunately, many of us find that we need to make a bathroom trip during the night, and one of my other sisters is a loud snorer. Over the holidays, every morning starts with the light-sleeping sister saying, "I'm so sad because I couldn't get back to sleep after …" This is despite the fact that we all grew up in a tiny little house in which both of our parents were prodigious snorers.
The sister who snores can't afford a hotel room. The sister who misses sleep because of this can afford a hotel, but she won't go to one.
Me? I sleep right through everything — but I just wish I could sleep through the whining.
I find this annoying and start many of my vacation days rolling my eyes. Must I muster up more sympathy for that poor light sleeper?
Rested Sister
DEAR RESTED: I grant you one furtive eye roll each morning during breakfast — as long as you also realize how lucky you are to get a good night's sleep.
You should respond to your sleepless sister's whining by saying, "Oh, that sounds awful. I hope you're OK." (Having this sort of affirmation is often all a complainer needs.)
Do not brag about how many z's you caught last night or offer her insomnia cures. Ask your sister if she is sure she doesn't want a hotel.
And, you well-rested braggart, pitch in and be helpful in the morning. That pot of coffee isn't going to make itself.
DEAR AMY: My ex-husband died 11 months ago. At his request, my adult children and grandchildren always referred to his new wife as "Grandma."
I have felt hurt and betrayed by that.
Now that he is deceased, I feel that out of respect for my feelings they should not continue to refer to her as "Grandma."
Real Grandma
DEAR REAL: You don't say how old these grandchildren are. You don't seem to imagine that their feelings should be taken into account. They should.
You can talk to your adult children and express your concern. They may reveal that this was an awkwardness imposed upon them by their father. But be prepared for them to express their own comfort for things just as they are. They have a right to do what they want to do.
If your grandchildren don't call you "Grandma" and you would like them to, you can ask this of them. If they do call you "Grandma," please remember that many families have two grandmas in their lives, and that this nickname isn't necessarily an honorific to be held by only one person.
Send questions to email@example.com or Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Former JUDAS PRIEST and current ICED EARTH/BEYOND FEAR frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens has posted the following message in the "Forum" section of his official web site:"PRIEST has informed me that they don't think it is a good idea to have BEYOND FEAR on any tours with them and that it would be best for me to drop the tribute/PRIEST factor. I know a lot of fans wanted this and I myself still like to please the fans. But it looks as though you will never see PRIEST and myself on the same tour. Sorry." Owens is in the process of signing a record deal for his BEYOND FEAR project, which also features guitarists John Comprix (SPAWN, 13 FACES) and Dwane Bihary (MISSING SKIN), bassist Dennis Hayes (WINTERS BANE, SEVEN WITCHES) and drummer Eric Elkins (CRYPTKICKER, ALL YOU FEAR). Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I Don't Need This", "And You Will Die", "It Is Me", "Telling Lies" and "The Faith". "The contract is signed on my end, and I'm now waiting to get it back and the OK to start recording," Owens writes. "I have informed [producer] Jim Morris [ICED EARTH, DEATH, DEMONS & WIZARDS] and everybody involved that we will soon get this thing going."

A republic and member of the Commonwealth, Namibia is in southern Africa, on the Atlantic Ocean. Area: 825,118 sq km (318,580 sq mi). Pop. (1995 est.): 1,651,000. Cap.: Windhoek. Monetary unit: Namibian dollar, at par with the South African rand (also legal currency), with (Oct. 6, 1995) a free rate of Nam$3.66 to U.S. $1 (Nam$5.79 = £1 sterling). President in 1995, Sam Nujoma; prime minister, Hage Geingob.
In the wake of his sweeping victory in the December 1994 elections, Pres. Sam Nujoma promised that any amendments to the constitution would be submitted to a referendum. In May dissidents within his South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) left to form a new party called SWAPO for Justice. Misheke Muyongo, leader of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance, labeled Namibia an "ethnic democracy" because, he said, SWAPO's support came overwhelmingly from the Ovambo.
The economy, which grew by about 5% in 1994, was expected to grow by 3% in 1995 even though foreign investors had shown little interest in the country. About 38% of the workforce was unemployed, and the rate of inflation approached 11%. When a severe drought cut agricultural harvests in half, the government appealed for Nam$100 million in aid. The request was ignored because earlier aid had been misused.
The government authorized an Export Processing Zone (EPZ) in the port of Walvis Bay, aimed at creating 10,000 jobs over a period of five years. The trade unions and the Namibian Council of Churches objected to the proposed suspension of the 1992 Labour Act in the EPZ. A compromise kept the act in place but prohibited strikes and lockouts.
In December 1994 a new diamond-mining company, Namdeb, was established. De Beers, an equal partner with the government, acquired a 25-year right to mine diamonds on payment of 4% of income. The feasibility of opening a large new copper mine at Haib was studied, as was also the construction, with Scandinavian assistance, of a hydroelectric dam on the Kunene River. Construction of the trans-Caprivi Highway linking Namibia to Zambia and Zimbabwe was expected to be completed at the end of 1996.
The inquest into the 1989 assassination of SWAPO activist Anton Lubowski by a South African "hit squad" was reopened. Four agents of the South African Civil Cooperation Bureau had been subpoenaed to testify. Environmentalists continued to protest Namibia's seal culling, even though the quotas had been cut from preceding years. In May Namibia became the first African nation to act as host of the Miss Universe contest.
This updates the article Namibia, history of.

Sherwood: I bleed the colour of Spurs
Tim Sherwood says he is proud and honoured to be the new head coach of Tottenham.
Spurs took the surprise decision to appoint Sherwood as Andre Villas-Boas' successor on Monday. The 44-year-old has no experience of first-team management, but he was selected ahead of the likes of Louis Van Gaal, Fabio Capello and Frank De Boer, who had all been linked with the position.
Sherwood played for Tottenham for four years and he has been part of the coaching set-up since 2008 though, so there is no doubt that the club is very close to his heart. He hopes his connection with Tottenham will help him navigate the difficult waters that lie ahead.
Speaking for the first time since he signed an 18-month contract with the club, Sherwood told Spurs TV: "It's an honour to be head coach of this top club. It's a club that means an awful lot to me and a proud moment. If you cut me in half, I bleed the colour of the club. It means an awful lot to me. Blood is thicker than water, as they say.
"I've known it from the grass roots right up to the first team, worked at every level of the football club and played here, so I know it better than most. Hopefully that will stand me in good stead taking this club forward as head coach.''
Sherwood was handed the role of interim manager following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas last week. The former England and Blackburn midfielder started off with a defeat to West Ham in the Capital One Cup, but four days later Tottenham beat Southampton 3-2. The Londoners played some of their most attacking football of the season as they came from behind to win at St Mary's.
That performance, and the commitment to playing attacking football, pleased chairman Daniel Levy, and the chairman believes Sherwood's confident approach will give the players the push they need to finish in the top four this season. Indeed, the new man at the helm certainly has complete faith in the expensively-assembled squad at his disposal.
"We have good players here and if we apply ourselves well, get the players playing as they can and get the right players on the ball in the correct areas, then we can hurt any team we play against,'' said Sherwood, whose first game as full manager comes on Boxing Day against West Brom.
Some have questioned the wisdom of appointing Sherwood, but the man who brought him onto the coaching staff at White Hart Lane -- Harry Redknapp -- is sure Levy has done the right thing.
"I thought Tottenham were absolute certainties to finish above Arsenal at the start of the season,'' Redknapp told talkSPORT. "Then Arsenal lost their first game of the season, but they have done fantastic since then. But they are only six points above Tottenham. That's nothing. That can be wiped out in a week, so Tottenham are still bang in there.
"They have a good squad. I think Tim will get the best out of them. I wouldn't write Tottenham off for a top-four position, they have got as good a chance as the seven teams that will be scrapping it out until the end of the season."

JSA Letter of Authenticity (LOA) – the Gold Standard
Maximize the value and interest of your signed collectible with our James Spence Authentication Letter of Authenticity (LOA). Highly sought after by collectors, dealers and hobbyists alike, our LOA is given to any item that passes our stringent authentication process. It is accepted by all major auction houses in the country and is viewed as the Gold Standard of verification when displaying your prized collectible or offering it for sale.
The JSA Letter of Authenticity (LOA) features an inset image of the item and has been signed by autograph expert James Spence in the presence of a licensed notary public. The LOA also contains additional customized data such as quantity of signatures, manufacturer, writing implement, type and/or model of the item. A certification label is placed on the item or letter (customer preference) with the corresponding number appearing on the LOA. Any item with JSA perceived value of over $200 being submitted through our authentication process is required to receive our Letter of Authenticity.
There are other possible results your memorabilia may receive after JSA's authenticators examine it thoroughly:
Certificate of Authenticity
Our basic certification / certificate of authenticity is popular among dealers and collectors. Basic certification employs
the same valued authentication process as our LOA but is used to verify autographed
items of lower value (JSA discretionary value of under $200.00).
Basic certification is not witnessed by a notary and is not accompanied with an image or full, customized description like our Letter of Authenticity. Your certificate of authenticity includes a 3" x 5" James Spence Authentication registration card with a unique certification number that corresponds to the alpha-numeric tamper evident label. Each certification number is uploaded into our exclusive database for 24-hour customer verification access. Submission fees range from $20 to $30.
You can upgrade your certificate of authenticity to a letter of authenticity for just $25 per item.
Dealers or collectors with large inventories/collections should inquire about our discounted rate and/or our house calls program by sending an email to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Additional Services
"And When I Die..." - Personal Statement of Final Wishes
As collections grow and autographed memorabilia become part of personal estates, there is another aspect to our role as autograph authenticators—that of counselors to heirs regarding collections. JSA offers consulting services regarding the circumstances and options surrounding a collection of any size. "And When I Die," a simple statement of intent, can be prominently placed in the forefront of your collection, instructing heirs that James Spence will counsel them on fair market value, authenticity, and measures to properly distribute the property. Since we are not in the business to buy and sell, we perform this service as a neutral third party with no conflict of interest. Simply sign the form and send a copy to the offices of James Spence Authentication, LLC to protect your best interest (and your collection) by a proven company that cares.
Appraisal Letter
Predominantly used for insurance and estate purposes, JSA will generate an appraisal letter for a single item, based on our authentication, for a fee of $50. The appraisal states the approximate market value of your item in its current condition and is generally for items worth at least $100. We also offer free verbal appraisals (non-binding).
For an appraisal rate on entire (JSA authenticated only) collection or inventory, please contact a JSA representative at either one of our office locations for a quote at NJ: (973) 898-1300 or firstname.lastname@example.com / FL: (954) 380-8670 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Together we stand, divided we fall. One for all and all for one, always up and never down. Always forward and never backward. If a task is once begun, never leave until it's done.
That's how the Continental Honor begins. And, though there are several more verses, it never really ends, believe those with a history at the Continentals of Omega Boys and Girls Club.
And that's the original purpose when Philmore Graham wrote it in 1968, two years after starting the club that's generated thousands of "graduates" who became upstanding Vallejo citizens.
Few knew that as well as Graham's son, Montoya.
"It's a code you live your life by and a way you approach not just your life, but your daily activities," Montoya Graham said. "It applies to everything in life. You apply it to raising your family, apply it to school, apply it to being a good person."
Every day at 6 p.m. kids would line up to recite the pledge. Silliness was put on hold. Laughing ceased. And "Mr. Graham" presided.
"When you said the Continental Honor, it was complete silence," Montoya said. "It was expected to act a certain way. It held us to a standard."
It's a standard the young members abide by today, with Thursday's recitation by current and past Omega members conducted at 1 Positive Place as a tribute to their founder, who died June 12 at 75.
Apparently, the Continental Honor isn't only effective while the children are members.
"Looking at it as an adult, it's a key to manhood, a key to life as a responsible adult," said Eric Stewart, 42. "If you follow the Continental Honor, I think success is bound to happen. Dissect every line. 'Do it well or not at all. Never leave a task until it's done.' Talk to most successful people in the world and they'll have those principles."
Stewart chuckled that a member may be asked to say the pledge a couple of times a day, "especially if you got in trouble."
Tony Garman was 14 when he became a club member in 1976. He returned Thursday to join the adults and about 50 kids who played a basketball game following the sacred pledge.
"I had to go back and look at my paperwork," smiled Garman. "You see it, recite it and it comes back. It's embedded in my heart, always. When you say, 'Here we are, Continentals,' that means a lot. It shows that you belong to something and when you belong to something positive, it's a great thing."
Gary Logan, one of the original six members in '66, remained in Vallejo and became a minister. He showed up Thursday night and said the Continental Honor is pivotal to Omega's progress and achievements.
"I think it's important. They can reflect on it in their character. It's a building block," said Logan, noting that he's recited the pledge so often in his life, "I can't count. So many times that we said that."
Now, as he nears 57, it stays with him.
"Even when I'm by myself and I'm having hard times, I go right there to the Continental Honor," he said. "It makes me persevere."
Anybody who has spent any time as a Continental never forgets the oath, Montoya Graham said.
"I often find myself washing dishes and I'd get lazy and not want to do the last three," he said. "Then I'd think, 'You know what? Do it well or not at all. It's become a code to live by as we go through life."
Aaron Brown Jr., the lone referee at the post-pledge hoops contest, said he was a kid when he started coming to the club. Now, at 28, he brings his 2-year-old and will make sure his boy knows what Philmore Graham meant to the club and community.
"Everything," Brown said. "He showed you how to stay out of trouble and that there was an alternative to the streets. It's important to keep the legacy alive."
The public can pay tribute to Graham at his memorial service Wednesday, 1 p.m., at Mt. Calvary Church in Fairfield.
It was incorrectly reported that McCormack Hall at the fairgrounds would be the site. There will be a viewing of Mr. Graham on Tuesday, noon to 6 p.m., at Missionary Baptist Church in Vallejo.

Kenny Chesney's A Sunglass Designer
We all know Kenny Chesney's song "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems". Now you can add "Yes Sunglasses" to the title.
Kenny's designed his own line of sunglasses. He's calling them the "Kenny Chesney Limited Edition Costa Sunglasses". By limited, he means there are only 10 thousand pairs available. If you want your own pair, you'll need to fork over $149 to $279. That may seem a little steep, but a portion of the money is being donated to the Coastal Conservation Association.

text: Hello all, I've been toying around with bundling up a numpy-using python program for windows by using py2exe. All in all, it works great, except for one thing: the numpy superpack installer for windows has (correctly) selected SSE3 binary libraries to install on my machine. This causes (of course) crashes when the binary py2exe bundle, which includes the numpy libraries installed on my machine, is run on a non-SSE3 machine. So, two questions: 1) What's the best target for "safe" binaries on i386 machines? No SSE at all? SSE? SSE2? 2) What's the best way to get the libraries desired installed for numpy? E.g. compile if myself with some --no-sse option? (And if so, any clue as to the required options.) Or is there some way to get the numpy windows installer to install a specific kind of binary? Thanks, Zach Pincus

The Prescription for Peace
Be anxious for nothing… Philippians 4:6 NKJV
"Be anxious…"
Finally. A verse I can get behind!
I have this down pat!
I can be anxious.
What? That's not where the verse ends?
"for NOTHING…"
How is this even possible?
Anxious for nothing?
Do you even KNOW what I am dealing with?
You might be able to give a long list of reasons why you should be anxious today. Thankfully, our verse doesn't stop there.
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 Living Bible)
When we are sick or have an infection in our bodies, most of us don't hesitate to get the doctor's prescription filled at the local pharmacy. We trust the doctor and the pharmacist, believing them when they say this will help get rid of the illness or infection.
Why do I doubt God's prescription though? When His Word says pray about all my needs and thank Him, I often don't follow the prescription. I think my way of worrying and fretting, talking to my friends about the problem, posting on social media all my issues, or withdrawing from corporate worship will some how work.
There are several events in my life I can point to where I knew this peace beyond understanding. One such time was just before the funeral of my late husband. I should have more of these moments to report, but I choose my own way too often.
Do you remember praying during those days leading up to your loved one's funeral, wondering how you would ever make it through that day, how you would make the walk down the aisle to the front of the church, how you would listen to the beautiful music, how you would greet the line of people afterwards?
I sat in my room one morning during the days before the funeral and prayed, "God, I have no idea how I am going to make it through the funeral. I am asking for a word of Scripture to help me right now. Give me Your peace, please."
I turned to a portion of Scripture I was led to, and His words brought so much comfort to my aching soul. My heart experienced peace like never before. It was the peace that I couldn't understand when looking at my situation. It HAD to be supernatural.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 ESV
You know the peace is from God when it makes no sense to anyone else. Especially to us. Peace that reassures the heart, peace that stands guard over your hearts and minds, peace that can be MINE.
You and I can experience this peace, replacing the anxiety today. God's Word tells us to talk to God about our needs in prayer and be grateful. Let's follow our Creator's plan for peace and be an example to others searching for peace.
Father God, we bring our concerns and anxious thoughts to You right now. We are thankful that sometimes our hardest paths have brought the most indescribable peace, clearly being from You. We love You and are so thankful for Your love for us. Help us shine Your love through our peaceful lives today. Amen
Elizabeth Dyer lives in Oklahoma with her six children named after Bible characters, a large dog named after a grandfather, and a noisy cat named after a German race car driver! Elizabeth lost her husband in 2012 and is learning she only THOUGHT she knew what trusting God was–widowhood has taken that "faith walk" to a whole new level for her. Psalm 94:19 has become a special verse for her family – "Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer."

Evergreens, both broadleaf and needled, will lose water through their leaves during the winter. When the soil is frozen or dry*, it is harder for the plant to replace this water by uptake through the roots. The result can be winter damage to leaves and even whole branches. Spraying your evergreens with an anti-desiccant like Bonide Wilt Stop will protect them from winter injury by forming a soft, clear flexible film over the leaves.
In colder areas, the more tender broadleaf evergreens like Camellias and some varieties of boxwood and hollies should be sprayed with Wilt Stop and then carefully wrapped in burlap for additional protection.
* If you haven't had a good soaking rain in your area, give your trees and shrubs a deep and thorough watering before the ground freezes.
Protect large roses by tipping back any long canes that might be whipped around by the wind. This minor pruning can also protect them from breakage due to a build up of ice or snow. Don't do any major pruning now - wait until danger of cold weather has passed in the spring to do that. For extra protection from desiccating winds, spray the canes with Bonide Wilt Stop.
As autumn gives way to winter, the supply of food for the deer in your "neighborhood" begins to diminish. Pretty soon, even the thorny stems of your roses are going to look good to them, not to mention the delicious branches of your fruit trees! There are many products on the market now that claim to keep deer out of your gardens. The Viettes have been testing many of these products over the years and have come up with a few recommendations.
- Our most important advice is to alternate repellents through the season. Deer will eventually become accustomed to most repellents and when they do, that repellent will no longer be effective. To keep hungry deer at bay, switch to a different repellent every 4 weeks or so.
- Click for a list of proven repellents that have worked well for us and for many of our garden center customers.
- If deer are a constant problem where you live, fencing is another option you may want to explore. DeerBusters deer fencing is virtually invisible and keeps deer out of your landscaping "without changing the appearance of your property".
Both pine voles (Microtus pinetorum) and meadow voles (Mictotus pennsylvanicus) are responsible for winter damage to trees and shrubs. Pine voles are especially fond of root tissue and over a winter can chew and destroy the entire root system of a small tree. Meadow voles prefer feeding on the bark at or near ground level often girdling the tree and causing it to decline and eventually die.
- Heavy grass cover and thick layers of hardwood mulch provide excellent cover for voles. If you have had problems with vole damage, keep the grass mowed around trees, especially fruit trees, and keep mulch away from the base of the tree. Stone mulches tend to discourage voles from tunneling and tend reduce vole damage.
- Bonide MoleMax Mole and Vole Repellent granules or ready-to-use spray can be helpful for keeping voles out of the garden and away from your trees and shrubs.
- Place tree guards made from 1/4" hardware cloth or plastic tubes around the trunk to protect it from meadow vole damage. If possible, sink them into the ground a few inches but be careful not to damage the roots.The green tubes you see neat rows of in many fields are there to protect saplings from vole damage. When set-up correctly they go several inches into the ground and prevent voles from reaching the tender trunks.
- Mulch around your trees with a layer of Espoma Soil Perfector. When planting, you can also line the hole with a protective layer of Soil Perfector or mix it in with your soil when you back-fill the hole. Click for more information.

Over the past month, I've maintained a bullish stance and have recommended that readers put their trading capital to work in some of the world's more speculative markets (see "ECB Could Trigger Monster Rally in Spanish Stocks" and "Access Africa").
Today, I'm going to reiterate my position that, in the age of competitive quantitative easing by the world's central bankers, it makes sense to err on the side of bullishness.
The domestic news here in the United States continues to be lukewarm at best, China continues to revise its growth estimates downward, and the European Union is probably in outright recession. But over the next several months, I do not expect any of this news to have much of an effect on global markets. Bernanke, Draghi & Company have awakened the long-sleeping animal spirits in investors, and "Big Money" hedge fund managers and institutional investors are frantically trying to catch up to their benchmarks before the end of the year (according to Barron's, the average equity-focused hedge fund has had a return barely half that of the passive S&P 500 in 2012).
This stimulus-fueled rally will eventually end, and when it does I expect it to end poorly. But until we see signs of a real breakdown, it makes sense to maintain a bullish allocation. I expect corrections—when they come—to consist of sideways action and not steep declines. This has been the case for much of the past two weeks.
This week, I recommend investors take a look at India via the iPath MSCI India Index ETN (INP).
India is generating a lot of buzz in recent weeks due to the proposed economic reforms of prime minister Manmohan Singh. These reforms—which are needed for long-term growth—may or may not actually come to pass. But in the short term, just the possibility is enough to restore some much needed confidence in the Indian market.
The usual caveats apply here; while I am bullish on emerging markets right now, sentiment can turn on a dime if Europe slides back into crisis. Use a stop loss appropriate for your risk tolerance.

text: Hi, My car is an 07 TDI 170 When driving there is often a hesitation under acceleration for maybe half a second whilst pulling through the rev range it then usually carries on ok but it sometimes hesitates multiple times through one gear. Once the car is fully warm and had a good blast the problem goes away. The car also feels like it is hunting a tiny bit at traffic lights, nothing to make the rev needle move but a slight blip every now and again (I initially presumed this was a characteristic of the engine) Also a week or so ago I had 2 fault codes one was 00552 and the other read along the lines of engine speed sensor- implausible speed reading. I cleared them with VAG com and they have never returned. Anybody have any idea what the issue may be with the engine hesitation? Thanks Henry

Kaetlyn Osmond barely stopped smiling as she signed autographs, posed for pictures, and talked to reporters Saturday.
The Canadian teenager found herself in the spotlight after capturing gold at Skate Canada International in her first-ever Grand Prix appearance — and she didn't mind it at all.
"Not used to it. But definitely could get used to it," she said laughing.
The 16-year-old from Marystown, N.L., was virtually unknown before she won a surprise bronze at the Canadian championships last winter. Saturday, she fell once on her triple Lutz but skated an otherwise strong program to Carmen to win gold among a world-class field.
It was a good start to the day for the Canadian team, as Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won silver in the pairs. Patrick Chan and ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skated their free programs later Saturday.
Osmond, looking older than her years in red dress and dark red lipstick, scored 115.89 for her Carmen rendition, and 176.45 overall. Reigning world bronze medallist Akiko Suzuki was second with 175.16, while Japanese teammate Kanako Murakami was third with 168.04.
Elene Gedevanishvili of Georgia, the leader after Friday's short program, had an error-filled long program to fall to fifth. Amelie Lacoste of Delson, Que., finished eighth.
Osmond grew up in Marystown — population just over 5,000 — but by the age of six was already travelling to Montreal in the summers to train.
"It was definitely a town where not many people lived and there was one rink that was only open in the winter, and a pool that was only open in the summer," Osmond said.
She moved to Edmonton when she was 10 after her parents got jobs there.
At this time last year she was barely on Skate Canada's radar. She'd finished ninth and 10th in her first junior Grand Prix events and had been battling an injury.
But she saw the possibilities and buckled down in her training, hiring a personal trainer and dietician. She began last season with just two triple jumps in her arsenal, but by the end had mastered almost all of them.
"I think most of it is my body maturing," Osmond said. "Everything has just been coming together a lot more. But I've also been putting a lot more effort into it."
After her bronze at the Canadian championships in Moncton, N.B., where she won the short program and landed the only clean triple-triple combination, Osmond opened this season with a victory at the Nebelhorn Trophy last month.
Because of her world ranking from last year — in the mid-40s — Osmond isn't entered in another Grand Prix this season. She still has a good shot at making Canada's team for the world championships in London, Ont., in March.
Her recent performances also have Osmond dreaming about the Sochi Olympics.
"It definitely starts putting a whole bunch of thoughts in your head," Osmond said. "It just gains you so much more confidence, and a better knowing of what you can do on the ice, how much it can lead you to.
"[The thoughts] have always been there, just not as loud."
Canada hasn't had a woman win at Skate Canada since Olympic bronze medallist Joannie Rochette skated to gold in 2009. Her coach Ravi Walia knows hopes are high for a world-class Canadian female, but believes Osmond can handle any pressure that comes her way.
"We've talked about that," Walia said. "She's still the same skater. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks she should be doing, it's what her and I think she should be doing."
Duhamel and Radford were just walking into the WFCU Centre when Osmond's medal ceremony was beginning.
"We felt really inspired," Duhamel said. "We watched the medal ceremony, and we were so proud of her and proud of Canadian skating so I think that gave us a little boost."
Skating to music from the British movie "Angel," Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Toronto's Radford scored 126.00 points for their free program and 190.49 points overall.
"Last year when we skated our very best, we barely got 120 [for the free program], and now we didn't skate our very best, it was still good, and we're at 126," Duhamel said. "We're very excited to see where this season takes us, and that will be to the podium in London."
The Canadians finished behind four-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, who scored 201.36 in a program that was more memorable for its costumes than the lifts and spins.
Skating to "Bolero," made famous by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, the Germans wore multicoloured bodysuits — they looked as if someone had tossed cans of red, yellow and black paint at them, like something you'd find at a modern art exhibit.
"It's not my favourite style but to be honest, I know we are figure skaters so we have to wear something that is in a way comfortable and wear suits like this that I would not go out [wearing]," Szolkowy said. "If it fits the music and Aliona's costume, and everybody is talking about us, it's OK."
Italians Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek won the bronze with 172.03.
Paige Lawrence of Kennedy, Sask., and Rudi Swiegers of Brandon, Man., were fourth.

SHE is not some jolly walking fun-factory 24/7. Anyone who saw her on SBS' Who Do You Think You Are?, when she traced her tumultuous family history, or on Channel Ten's The Pro-ject, when she talked beautifully about her sexuality, knows the depth and quality of Magda Szubanski's seriousness, her emotional candour. Were she to be the ha-ha girl constantly, she says, it would be insufferable. Especially for her.
Even so, the twinkle is never far away. Here Szubanski is on a throne — a kitschy gilt chair at the studio where she's rehearsing — and she is gorgeous, confident and happily herself. The throne is appropriate, for not only is she one of the country's most popular people, but the character she is playing in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is named Domina. "With a name like that," she rolls her eyes, "there's no looking for my character motivation."
Despite the shenanigans during rehearsals for this romp of a musical — she's in it with a highly mischievous bunch, including Geoffrey Rush, Gerry Connolly and Shane Bourne — her smile soon fades. Our meeting is the day after Federal Parliament's voting down of the marriage equality bill by 98 votes to 42 and she is angry about it. What signal, she asks hotly, has it sent out about "equality"?
"My heart breaks for the message that gives to young [gay] people out there who are struggling," Szubanski says. "It is amazing in this country, in this day and age, that it is still an issue. I mean, putting us in the same basket as people who want to have sex with dogs . . . Personally I just find that risible, I really do. But another part of me says we all share this planet, it is an education for all of us and we all have to find a way to progress and become more humane with one another about our differences.
"And the truth is — the long-term truth — that when these politicians are all voted out and long gone, the next generation will come along and they [Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott and so on] will be totally irrelevant."
The overwhelmingly positive and supportive response to Szubanski's coming out on national television in February — even though it had been common knowledge — "says way more about this country, I think, than the stupid vote the other day".
It's this frank, compassionate approach that has always won the comic performer such devotion. People adore this woman with the sort of unfettered love lavished on a favourite relative — after all, her Kath & Kim character Sharon Strzelecki has spent much time in our living rooms. It's that glint of mirth in Szubanski's warm eyes, plus the lovely chuckle, but more than that it is her integrity: someone in the firmament of stardom who lets herself be vulnerable and imperfect amid her wit, intellect and talent.
All of which shines when she's in Sharon's netball outfit. She says says she was wise about her choice of clothing for the character she created. "I've spent the best part of [the long-running series] wearing sneakers and track pants while Gina [Riley] has been wearing fake nails and a G-string and jeans hoiked up her arse, high-maintenance high-heels and really horrible clothes."
It will be something comfy and Roman for her character Domina. Rehearsals at the studio might be in trackie dacks and beanies but you just know that when Szubanski and the rest of the Forum cast drape themselves in togas and tunics, a riot of hilarity will ensue.
Already, Forum director Simon Phillips says he has had a handful trying to keep the scallywags in order. There's always someone at the back misbehaving.
"She's always naughty," he says of Szubanski. "But then, she does have some competition in this show." He knew Forum needed "incredibly skilled rapscallions" and so he rounded them up, starting with Rush; the others followed by happy coincidence. And Szubanski, he says, is a such a joy to have in the room.
"She is very unto herself; I don't know anyone like her," says the talented man who has directed huge stage successes such as The 25th Annual Putnam County Spell-ing Bee; Priscilla, Queen of the Desert; Love Never Dies; and Urinetown.
My heart breaks for the message that gives to young (gay) people.
"She's a great combination of childishness and this really sharp intelligence. She really gets it but she is prepared to have a ball. She is interested in the dynamics and what is going on. And how it might be subverted."
Szubanski, for her part, says Phillips is "a deadset stirrer", wont to describe her as "that virus of irresponsibility". "To which I reply he is Benny Hill with a better vocabulary," she says. Phillips, she adds, knows how to have fun and has a knack for finding people's weak spots and exploiting them in the name of wicked (but never mean) humour. You can see them all cackling helplessly, trying to get their lines out.
"He'll say things like, 'Where's Magda? Oh, she's over at her food bag. Put that doughnut down.' And I haven't got one!"
The Jenny Craig weight-loss off-again/on-again story, the coming out on The Pro-ject and the family history (her father was prominent in the Polish resistance in World War II) — well, Szubanski has a lot of difficult stories to tell, and recently she travelled to Poland with her good friend Stella to do more research on the family history for the book she has been working on.
While doing the filming for Who Do You Think You Are?, in which she explored her father's role against informants and the Nazis, many complex emotions came to the surface. But in writing about it, she realised she needed to return to visit her father's relatives and friends, to get the stories right, cross the t's and dot the i's, because they are important stories to tell.
"I have a pretty full-on family history and, needless to say, that's had a huge impact on who I am," she says. "I have always been nostalgic by temperament. I am one of those people who loves knowing about the past. I was always pestering my parents: 'And what happened then, and what did she do?' For whatever reason, I was always one of those kids who was the keeper of the stories. I was always the one to get the photos and ask who was who and what they did."
Even so, her father had a terrific sense of humour, as did her mother's Irish father — whose arduous story of poverty and grief was also explored in Who Do You Think You Are? From them, perhaps, she inherited what she describes as her "comedy chops".
"I'm not one of those comedians who watches comedy," she says. "I do watch some things, but I am not an aficionado. I don't go and study it, see how jokes are constructed. I don't have a clue. I just come from having a sense of humour and the naughties. And that is absolutely, totally, from my mum and my dad - that kind of giggling, raw energy. In fact, I wouldn't describe what I do as doing comedy. I would say I have fun, that is what I always use to guide me. I am reasonably confident that if I am having fun then other people will, too. And I get paid to do it.'' She starts laughing. ''No complaints there.''
Little wonder, then, that Forum sounds like a complete hoot - even many weeks before it gets on a stage. Phillips says it is something he has long wanted to do because the script is so funny and the comedy so sure-footed. ''The thing I really like to do is make it a sandpit - you try and make the rehearsal, in the early stages, as playful as you possibly can,'' he says. ''Because then people free up and you get sparks of inspiration. But it can be chaotic, especially with seven or eight incredibly inventive performers in there.''
Those performers, he says, will be playing archetypes - randy old man, domineering wife and so on - but people such as Szubanski, Rush, Connolly and Bourne (''actually, all the performers'', he says) are capable of taking those characters well beyond the first dimension. ''But it is an entirely politically incorrect piece. It is just wrong. It's a lot about old men wanting to have sex, a lot about guys getting lucky because incredibly beautiful women fall into their hands. But there are a lot of gags about, 'Will they be up to it?'''
He loves how Rush has a great sense of physical comedy - ''I am watching him access every single cartoon he has ever watched to bring to bear on this role'' - but also how he motivates it.
As for Szubanski, he admires the way that if something is funny, ''she'll do anything''.
Szubanski says every character she plays is clearly some part of her, ''like some little emissary you send out there into the world''; they allow her to walk in their shoes. ''It's the old cliche - if you are wearing someone else's clothes and shoes, I think it can actually make you a bit less judgmental, because for a moment you are someone else.
''These characters take you to other worlds and other ways of being that you otherwise wouldn't have a glimpse of. I love that because I'm quite curious and I find that really fascinating. And often that makes me a bit nicer. It takes me out of myself. I can tend to the dour sometimes - I'm quite dark, I'm quite serious.''
We wouldn't know that if we had only seen her work in Big Girl's Blouse, Fast Forward, Kath & Kim, Happy Feet and Babe, or her more recent run with musicals - Spelling Bee, Guys and Dolls or Bran Nue Dae.
''What has been interesting, though, is that in the past few years there's been a lot more of 'me' and that is not necessarily typical for actors,'' she says. ''Usually, they have characters and they don't speak. I am used to having a voice because I've always written what I've done. But it is an amazing thing how people always want to know why Sharon is so popular, and I can't see that from the outside so I can't really say. Certainly, there is some crossover - there are elements of her that are absolutely me. There's a vulnerability, I think, that is very much me and it has probably always been there. I wouldn't have known, but other people have commented on that.''
Her forthrightness about sexuality and equality in February was, she says, not only an emotional ride for her, but for a lot of the gay community. While she says she will be going into it in much more depth in her new book, Szubanski is really glad she came out so publicly - to millions of people - even though ''it was something I've been thinking about for decades''. But with the marriage equality debate hitting its stride, she felt it was crucial to act. ''I couldn't stand by. It was too important a moment to not think about it and not do it in the best way that I could.''
The response was overwhelming, proving something the politicians have missed: that honesty and compassion are huge drawcards, that people respond positively to such authenticity. She saw that repeatedly in the months that have followed, particularly when she officially arrived at the Sydney Mardi Gras and the huge crowd greeted her with the sort of deafening, incredibly warm ''Wooaaaaah!'' that would otherwise be found only at places such as the MCG.
''I couldn't stop crying,'' she says.
■A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is at Her Majesty's Theatre from October 19.

47 - Bazza the bearded Leichhardt Oval scoreboard attendant – long may he turn those numbered metal plates.

45 - Knights flyer Aku Uate, who is looking to become the first player since records were kept to bust 100+ tackles in four consecutive seasons.
44 - The Daily Telegraph's Tommy Sangster, who every week sheds light on the mathematical conundrum that is SuperCoach.
43 - Rob Brough, the legendary Family Feud host who this year coached three Queensland teams to grand finals. Truly.
42 - Video referees. Because the world needs laughter.
41 - American international Apple Pope . . . whose entire family, named after foods and beverages, includes brothers Taco and Pepci, mum Chili and cousin Cinimaon-T.
40 - Paul Gallen . . . the Cronulla skipper is looking to make over 2500m for the 10th consecutive season.
39 - Oriental Hotel, Mudgee. Where this hack will be basing himself when Parramatta and the Gold Coast Titans go bush in round 11.
38 - Super Saturday. Responsible for ruining more marriages than 50 Shades Of Grey.
37 - Anthony Xuereb … over 100 years of rugby league and still this bloke has an entire section of the players encyclopaedia to himself.
36 - Meaningless trophies. Remember guys, if you play for one at least hang around afterwards to collect it.
35 - Black footy boots Does anyone still own a pair?

27 - Egos. Take your pick, there are a few.
26 - Pamela Anderson. Who often visits Australia to display her massive, massive. . . support for the Rabbitohs.

It's no secret now that Steve Jobs is issuing a $100 store credit to all iPhone customers who purchased a phone between June 29th and the recent price reduction. Anyone who has ever used a store credit knows first hand that you always wind up spending more money than the amount of the credit. Plus with the entire markup on the products Apple offers in its store they will probably break even or more than likely, make money.
So, can we consider the $100 store credit a gracious gesture or simply clever marketing?

I am developing a BLDC controller. The original motor that I was given seems to be causing problems so I want to ask the community what kinds of motors they would want to use with OpenBLDC. I am thinking of just buying one of the outrunners 3-phase motors from amazon or some hobby site. The end goal of this project is to run a motor that will be part of the driver system of a rover.

What Does Sheriff Arpaio Have To Do with Immigration Reform?
Last month, a U.S. District Court in Phoenix issued a 142-page decision against Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) in Ortega Melendres v. Arpaio. After a three-week trial, the court found that MCSO had an unconstitutional policy of targeting Latinos for traffic stops and of detaining Latinos based on nothing more than a suspicion of being undocumented immigrants. The court noted that MCSO admitted to using "Hispanic appearance" to determine who was suspected of immigration violations and that Sheriff Arpaio had acted upon racially biased constituent letters in deciding where to conduct "saturation patrols." During these "saturation patrols," (known to residents as immigration sweeps) over 70% of people arrested were Latino – in a county where Latinos make up only a third of the total population. As the federal court pointed out, the policy of racial profiling and illegal detentions arose from the Sheriff's single-minded focus on arresting undocumented immigrants regardless of the cost for everyone's civil rights and public safety.
The Arpaio decision is an enormous victory for everyone in Maricopa County – and particularly for those courageous individuals who stood up for civil rights in the face of racially charged discrimination by the very law enforcement authorities responsible for protecting the community. The court's ruling established that no one is above the law and put an immediate stop to the MCSO's policies. The order lifted a shadow of fear that had left a third of the county's residents unable to go about their daily business without the fear of being pulled over and interrogated about their right to be in their own county, just because they are Latino or look Latino.
The federal court ruling against MCSO is of great importance far beyond the boundaries of one county in Arizona because what happened in Maricopa County did not, alas, stay in Maricopa County. Unfortunately, local sheriffs and police chiefs in many parts of the country have adopted similar policies, with similar patterns of constitutional violations as they have become entangled in local immigration enforcement efforts. Alamance County, North Carolina, is one example. The U.S. Department of Justice has brought a lawsuit against the sheriff there for the same pattern of discrimination against Latinos in traffic stops, again by an agency that has publicly announced a focus on going after undocumented immigrants.
Indeed, Arpaio's practices were entrenched and formalized as a matter of state law when the Arizona legislature passed its anti-immigrant SB 1070 law. From Arizona, these policies spread to other states including Alabama. What we have learned from Arizona is that when local officers are forced to go after undocumented immigrants - whether as a matter of a sheriff's dictate or state law - they will default to using racial profiling and illegal stops in violation of people's rights. This poses a danger to civil rights and liberties well beyond one state.
In fact, prominent police chiefs and sheriffs from around the country urged the Supreme Court to hold Arizona's SB 1070 unconstitutional because it would be impossible for local law enforcement officers to determine who's an undocumented immigrant, and that trying to do so would divert critical resources away from the real job of policing our communities. That is exactly what has happened, spurring growing opposition to the troubling entanglements between federal immigration authorities and local and state law enforcement.
Recent polls show that the vast majority of Americans are tired of such unconstitutional and unwise immigration policies and want Congress to enact commonsense immigration reform that puts immigrants who are already making contributions to our communities on the road to U.S. citizenship.
So what does Joe Arpaio have to do with commonsense immigration reform?
As Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado said on the Senate floor right before the historic passage of S. 744 by a 68-32 margin, immigration is the federal government's responsibility. The bipartisan Senate bill is a compromise measure that puts extraordinary – indeed, wasteful and excessive – resources toward border enforcement but also provides for a road to citizenship and significant improvements to the immigration detention and deportation system. The Senate wisely carried out its job of regulating immigration at the federal level. We hope the House of Representatives takes a similarly sensible approach. The House Judiciary Committee's passage of the so-called "SAFE Act" unfortunately attempts to open the door to more state and local meddling in immigration matters. The proposal would effectively apply Maricopa County's unconstitutional example throughout our country, leading to the rampant violation of our most basic American freedoms and leaving communities less safe as distrust and fear of the police takes root.
Let's be clear: Any member of Congress who votes to give state and local police the power to do immigration enforcement is voting to open the door to widespread racial profiling and illegal detentions throughout the United States. That can be no part of real reform. America deserves better.

It's always important to remember that all immigration policy in the Western world is part of a larger program of White genocide. This program doesn't use bullets, gas, or starvation. Instead, it's genocide by forced assimilation with the 3rd world. ALL White countries are required to take in millions of non-Whites and mix with them. White are not allowed countries, communities, or institutions. Asians, Africans, Jews, Arabs, etc are free to have their own spaces and organizations to pursue their destinies. White are denied this right. It's genocide.

"commonsense immigration reform that puts immigrants who are already making contributions to our communities on the road to U.S. citizenship."
The supposed mission of the ACLU is protecting rights under law but there is no right of foreign nationals to reside in this country. Taking a stand on legalization of unlawfully present aliens makes the ACLU look like just another member of the open border lobby and gives legitimacy to the belief that they are just another group with a political agenda, not apolitical defenders of rights under law.

"What does Joe Arpaio have to do with commonsense immigration reform?"
Simple - whatever Joe does, the opposite is the correct thing to do.
- July 7, 2013
"The court's ruling established that no one is above the law and put an immediate stop to the MCSO's policies. "
I wonder if the ACLU thinks that unauthorized foreign nationals are above the law. They sure act like it.

I love this article its retarded it says that 70% that were pulled over were latinoes but it fails to mention how many of the 70% were actually illegal. I'm guessing all 70% way to joe get the blood suckers out of our society and free us from these job whores.
- July 9, 2013
This article sucks it complains about 70% of the ppl pulled over were latino ( racial profiling ) yet it fails to mention how many were actually illegal. I'm gonna guess all of them. It's not racial profiling asians dont live in mexico nor do jews so yes you are going to pull over latinos its a rampant problem out west and we need to take a stand against these criminals.
- July 9, 2013
The fault for the current immigration mess does not lie with Joe Arpaio, nor does it lie with the illegal immigrants seeking a better life . . . the fault lies with a Congress that refuses to enforce existing law AND for giving tacit approval for the poor souls in Third World Central American countries to emigrate from their own benighted lands. Any one of us would follow their same example were we living under such deprived conditions. That, however, does not alter the fact that entering the US under such circumstances is a violation of existing law. When a country begins to selectively enforce its own laws for economic convenience ("They do jobs Americans won't do." etc.), said country opens the door to societal chaos. What other laws are we to start ignoring? Freedom exists ONLY under the rule of law.

This Epic Water Slide Makes You Forget Your Face Is Melting Off
Wherever you are on this hellspawn sauna our planet has become today, I guarantee that you'd rather be about halfway down the world's sickest, slickest water slide, toes pointed straight at the Mediterranean. Even worse: you could be there. Right now.
