Share the Season is an annual campaign that offers one-time aid to people affected by unforeseen hardships. The people are not identified to protect their privacy.
The extra help she received from Share the Season in paying her utilities bills came just at the right time, the 31-year-old woman said.
She was out of work for two weeks with strep throat and a tonsil infection, and this led to her falling behind in her payments.
When you miss two weeks, thats money lost; you cant make it up, she said. It was truly a blessing. It came right at the right time.
The woman said the money will help ensure that the family doesnt have to stress about making monthly payments.
We enjoy Christmas, but most of our memories are made on Christmas Eve, she said. We play games, bake, eat it makes sure we get to spend some time with the kids.
She said she, her husband and four young children will finally be able to relax a little this holiday.
It can help us focus on other things, she said. It definitely lightened the load.
So far, Share the Season has raised $183,158.56.

Tommy Tuberville has a pretty strong coaching resume, including coaching in the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12, and the Texas Tech coach knows he hasn't gone up against a defensive challenge like the one West Virginia and Geno Smith pose.
"This is about as good as it gets," Tuberville said, referring to Smith. "He's close to where (NFL first-round pick Brandon Weeden out of Oklahoma State) was, but in different ways. He has great touch on the ball and speed at receiver. He stands in the pocket. He'll take a sack rather than turn it over. What makes a good quarterback is to take what they give you."
That is exactly what Smith does.
"I've been very impressed, and I've seen a lot of quarterbacks," Tuberville said. "He's a cool guy."
This past summer Tuberville had taken his son and his quarterback, Seth Doege, to the Manning Quarterback Camp.
"I saw Smith there and he was the best quarterback there," Tuberville said. He did not make clear if he was including Eli and Peyton Manning ... or Archie.
This is the week of the annual Oklahoma-Texas showdown in Dallas, the cowboy version of "The Backyard Brawl."
"The game is really special," said Texas Coach Mack Brown. "I always said it's like a bowl game in midseason. It's at a neutral site and it's one of the few places where you get half Oklahoma, half Texas fans. The game is one of the reasons people go to both schools ... they want to go to that game, and I was fortunate enough to coach on both sides."
There has been some talk in recent years about moving the game out of Dallas and alternating campus sites, the two schools possessing wonderful stadia of their own.
Brown isn't quite ready to make that move though.
"They once asked Darrell Royal about that and he said it is the history of the game that makes it so special. The game is in Dallas and we're excited it's there."
Bob Stoops, the Oklahoma coach, also likes the game being in Dallas, but he understands the business reasons behind the thoughts of moving it.
"It's one of the better rivalries out there, the history and tradition of it," he said. "It heated up even more when we were in the same conference and, for the longest time, in the same division.
"I think it's great where it is but I understand the business part of it," he continued. "The Cotton Bowl and the City of Dallas have to make it right for us to be there. As long as the schools are treated fairly it's fine, but we both have great campuses and stadiums to play in if that wasn't the case."

If you think Gov. John Baldacci negotiated a bad deal for Maine's liquor business in 2004, then you will recognize the Democratic leadership's plan for the next 10 years as more of the same.
The similarities are eerie, and the Democrats' legislation looks as if it was drafted by the current contract holder, a Massachusetts liquor wholesaler bent on eliminating competition for this contract.
Why would Democrat leaders want to do this again? For the same reason we have done so many things over the past 10 years — to help plug an ongoing structural budget gap with a one-time windfall.
In 2003, the Democratic Legislature faced a $1.2 billion budget gap. Baldacci had to act fast, and in haste he and the Legislature signed away a big part of an annual revenue stream for a one-time $125 million payment.
That solved a short-term problem but it fixed nothing. The same deficit problems have haunted the state ever since.
But Wall Street investors, represented by Maine super-lobbyist Severin Beliveau, have benefited handsomely over the past 10 years.
That's due to a 36.8 percent annual profit guaranteed by the original contract. Why did we guarantee them so much money? Well, desperate people do desperate things.
But it quickly became clear that the state would pay dearly for the one-time money.
The Wall Street hedge fund that put up the original money and the large Massachusetts liquor wholesaler, Martignetti Corp., will have made about $118 million over the 10-year contract, nearly doubling their initial investment.
Gov. Paul LePage has proposed an openly competitive process to award the next contract. The state will ask for three separate requests for proposals from each vendor: administration, marketing and distribution. It can accept or reject any or them, and Martignetti is free to bid.
The actual cost of distributing liquor in Maine is about $6 million a year, that's because running a warehouse and delivering liquor twice a week is really not a large or complicated business.
Two Maine firms with logistics and transportation experience have indicated they will bid on the governor's RFP request.
Democrats, however, have presented a bill designed to eliminate that competition.
As we have seen, this is not a big business and it is almost entirely contracted out to another firm, Pine State Trading Co.
Yet Democrats want bidders to show they can make a large "minimum initial payment" of $200 million.
Why? This is only a $6 million business, and nearly all of it is contracted out to Pine State Vending Co., which is forbidden from bidding by its contract with Martignetti.
Democratic leaders want $200 million up front to pour into this budget gap. Again, that's just what Baldacci did, used a one-time windfall to fix an ongoing, structural problem.
This is like getting a pay-day loan to pay this month's bills and knowing the same bills will come due next month.
Instead, Gov. LePage would obtain about $200 million in revenue anticipation notes and immediately clear $186 million off the state's books and draw down roughly $300 million from the federal government.
The money would guarantee our hospitals repayment and provide an immediate economic boost to Maine's economy.
The governor's plan would also reduce costs to Maine consumers and help claw back money lost to New Hampshire by becoming more competitive. Right now Maine consumers pump about $20 million a year into New Hampshire's economy rather than their own.
The Democratic leadership would ask for a minimum annual payment of $34 million. But evidence strongly suggests this business is worth $45 million a year, and very likely more over the next 10 years.
Democrats also claim the governor wants to "take back" the liquor business while they favor free enterprise.
This is untruthful and Democratic leaders know it. The governor wants to "take back" the revenue stream, and Maine's director of liquor and gambling has repeatedly said the state will not be in the distribution business.
The Democratic leaders would require bidders to be "qualified to operate the wholesale liquor business."
Maine Beverage doesn't even do that. It runs a warehouse and delivery service in Maine, but it operates as a liquor wholesaler in other states.
Again, this is a requirement intended to disqualify any Maine-based bidders based upon irrelevant criteria.
The governor is asking for bids on marketing since our growth with Maine Beverage has under-performed similar states, particularly New Hampshire.
Maine Beverage simply has no incentive to do that since it would mean competing with its far larger customer, the State of New Hampshire.
Here's our prediction:
Take the Democratic leadership's plan and we will be talking about another big budget gap in two years, and the hospitals will still be waiting on their money 10 years from now.
Take LePage's approach and we pay the hospitals and keep far more liquor money in consumers' pockets and state coffers.
Take your choice.

Dean's Special Lecture with Daphna Oyserman
Identity Based Motivation: Why We Start Too Late And Do Too Little And What We Can Do About It
Join us for a Dean's Special Lecture with Dean's Professor of Psychology, and professor of psychology, education and communication Daphna Oyserman.
Description:Even very young children can tell you who they want to be when they grow up and this future self is often quite positive and education-linked. Learn more about Daphna Oyserman's research, which focuses on aspirationattainment gaps — the shortfall between the self that one aspires to become and the outcomes one actually attains — and how situations can increase or decrease them. She will share how situational constraints and affordances can trigger or impede taking action drawing on her identity-based motivation theory (IBM) that predicts people prefer to act in identity-congruent ways but that the identity-to-behavior link is opaque for a number of reasons.

Original recipe yields 25 pieces
- Stir together semolina, baking powder, 2 cups of sugar, and chopped almonds until evenly blended. Stir in yogurt, vegetable oil, and rose water until a soft dough forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press the dough into a 9x9 inch square baking dish, and smooth the top. Score the top of the dough to create 25 squares, then top each square with an almond half.
- Bake in preheated oven until the top has puffed and turned golden brown, about 20 minutes. The harisseh is done when the top is golden, and the center has firmed. When done, remove from the oven, and allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
- While the harisseh is cooling, pour water and 2 cups of sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of rose water, and lemon juice, then remove from the heat.
- To serve, cut the warm harisseh into 25 squares, and place onto a large serving platter; pour the rose water syrup over, making sure all of the pieces are moist.

This is the recipe I grew up on... My mother used to do it all the time and i was searching for the recipe... Thanks By the way, I have used dark brown sugar instead of white... Tastes better
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! We've been trying to make Harisseh at home for a while but it kept coming out hard and we weren't sure how to fix it. I tried this recipe and followed the instructions (didn't use almonds in the dough as we didn't have any chopped ones on hand) and it came out wonderfully. The sugar syrup was too sweet for me, but the harisseh was tasty even without it. I will definitely be making this again!
I made these cookies for a Moroccan-themed dinner at a friend's house so I could use the rose water I brought back from a trip to Morocco. In the text of the recipe, note that you should mix 1/2 C sugar to the flour mixture, not 2 cups. I omitted pouring the syrup over the cookies since I wanted them crispier and not so sweet. I used a 12x8 teflon baking pan so they would be thinner & crispier. Also, I didn't blanch the almonds since I was short on time and they turned out fine. I served these cookies with peeled, sliced oranges (cut in 1/2" rings) sprinkled with cinnamon. The rose water was subtle and added a unique flavor.

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels for President?
Some interesting things about Mitch Daniels for the rest of his closet fans.
By Mary Kate Cary, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
You probably don't know this about me, but I'm a closet fan of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. I know there are others out there like me, but I haven't found them yet. Here are three interesting things he's done lately:
1. Along with several other governors, he cosigned a letter to the Congressional committees investigating Toyota which he paraphrased to the local Fox affiliate as saying: "Let's have the recall, fines if necessary, but they're ganging up, it seems highly suspicious given the government went into the car business and here they are beating up one of their direct competitors." He's got a point, that the government now owns GM, one of Toyota's competitors, and it appears they have a conflict of interest when it comes to shutting down Toyota's sales. I'm a former Camry owner, and of course I'm concerned about safety--that of Toyota drivers and the rest of us on the road with them--but we wouldn't be talking about a conflict of interest if the government hadn't taken over GM. One more reason the government should stay out of the market.
2. He told Dan Balz of the Washington Post today that he's "open" to a run for the White House in 2012. Great news! Here's the best quote from the interview, in which he talks about voters' concern about fiscal responsibility and the size of government hitting a tipping point:
"Are we still a country where people would prefer freedom, personal autonomy, with the risks and responsibilities that go with it, or do we want to socialize all the risks we can and settle for what I think is the false security of statism and so forth?" he asked. "I think those questions have got to be presented by somebody."
Even more interesting, the AP ran a story on the Post interview, and I first found that story not at the Washington Post, but on the pages of the Purdue University student newspaper, the Exponent. I think a lot of young people are fans of his, if you take a look at his My Man Mitch website, or his facebook page that has 10,000 friends. He's right up there with Ron Paul in terms of the youth vote.
3. Buried in the Exponent piece is a little nugget: that Daniels was invited to be the keynote speaker at CPAC last weekend, but turned down the invitation. Doesn't say why. I guess that's when they booked Glenn Beck instead.

- This is a terrific list of technology tools that teachers should explore. Throughout the year, I hope to showcase ways teachers in my building are successfully implementing these tools. In addition to the comprehensive annotated list of tools, be sure to take a look at the Smartphones Make a Difference infographic at the top of the page.
Resource #2: 11 Real Ways Technology is Affecting Education Right Now
This is a thought-provoking article that highlights how digital devices are impacting student learning in classrooms today. One of the most compelling findings in the research study was that "…technology has become a significant part of students' everyday lives with the average using three devices daily." There is also a great infographic at the end of the article that highlights how digital devices are reshaping education.
Resource #3: An Educator Guide to Twitter
- Lastly, if you're still wondering what Twitter is and how it can support professional growth, check out this Live Binder of resources created by Steven Anderson. Steven's twitter handle is @web20classroom. Steven Anderson is part of my PLN, and there isn't a day that goes by when I don't learn something new from him.
- If you're just getting started with Twitter, using hash tags (#) is a great way to filter for education-specific tweets. Hash tags are words or acronyms that begin with the number (#) sign. They are used when many people are tweeting about the same topic or from the same event" (Twitter Terminology 101). Filtering for specific tweets is also a great way to uncover new experts to follow.

At the Sept. 22 Pacific Palisades Community Council meeting, members and residents reiterated their opposition to a large group of who, for the last several years, frequently ride along Sunset Boulevard at night.
"At best what we're going to be able to do with the motorcycles is just manage them in a manner where they're lawful," said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Chris Ragsdale at the meeting.
Ragsdale also noted that the cyclists may be wearing helmets equipped with radios that allow them to alert each other of the whereabouts of police.
"As soon as one [motorcyclist] sees the police they get the message across to everybody," said Ragsdale. "That might be why ... the majority of the times that we see them, they are being lawful."
Council members and residents questioned the level of police presence on the corridor of Sunset Boulevard between Chautauqua Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway.
"We'll stop them if we have a violation," Ragsdale said. "I want to make it clear, we can't make them go away ... so they will continue this route."
The officer said the motorcycle group often congregates at the 76 gas station where Sunset meets PCH, and on Monday he counted approximately 25 riders.
Council members suggested advocating for local or state legislation banning large groups of motorcycle riders from traversing city streets in a large, fast-moving pack like the one in question.

Here's this week's schedule for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Information has been supplied by Rep. Mike Turzai, Republican Majority Leader.
All House sessions and most committee meetings will stream live on PAHouseGOP.com. Many events also may be viewed on Facebook.com/PAHouseGOP.
Improving the Commonwealth Jobs Climate
Continuing to build on one of the Republican Majority's top priorities of rebuilding Pennsylvania's jobs climate – which was devastated by the over-spending, over-borrowing and over-regulating Rendell Administration and the failed Obama stimulus program – the House has been dedicated to recreating in Pennsylvania an atmosphere where people can find jobs, build careers and improve their quality of life.
Unfortunately, Pennsylvania is still considered one of the states with the highest cost of doing business when state and local taxes, fees, regulatory requirements and health care are combined. Lowering the overall costs of doing business in the state will lead to higher employment and economic growth.
This week, the full House is expected to consider legislation (House Bill 2626, Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R- Centre/Mifflin counties) which establishes the "Promote Employment across Pennsylvania" (PEP) program to help create family-sustaining jobs in the Commonwealth.
As introduced, the legislation would provide a state tax incentive for a limited time to qualified employers relocating from another state to Pennsylvania. The employers would be able to keep 95 percent of the state Personal Income Tax (PIT) revenue they withhold on behalf of their employees, with the other 5 percent going to the Commonwealth. The House also may consider an amendment to the bill that would extend the proposed incentive to existing Pennsylvania employers that add new jobs to their workforce.
The companies would still pay other applicable taxes, including the state Corporate Net Income (CNI) tax and sales tax in addition to local taxes, including personal income taxes and property taxes.
Helping Our Heroes
A package of bills moving through the House and Senate is aimed at helping the state's veterans – those just returning home from the War on Terrorism, and those from previous wars. Bills to be considered in the House and Senate and/or in their respective committees include:
- House Bill 2591 (Rep. Bob Godshall, R-Montgomery County) dealing with military members' state retirement benefits.
- House Bill 2428 (Rep. Jeff Pyle, R-Armstrong and Indiana counties) regarding veterans license plates.
- Senate Bill 623 (Sen. Tommy Tomlinson, R-Bucks) to encourage stage agencies to contract with veteran-owned small businesses.
- Senate Bill 1442 (Sen. Mary Jo White, R-Clarion, Forest and Venango counties, and parts of Butler, Erie and Warren counties) to update the Pennsylvania Code of Military Justice (PCMJ), which enforces order and discipline upon the Pennsylvania National Guardsmen who are not in active federal service under Title 10 of the United States Code. The PCMJ parallels the Federal Uniform Code of Military Justice, and has not been extensively updated since 1975 and many of the current provisions date back to the Military Code of 1949.
- Senate Bill 1255 (Sen. Bob Robbins, R-Crawford and Mercer counties and portions of Butler and Lawrence counties) would enact the Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act (UMOVA) to simplify the process of absentee voting for United States military and overseas civilians in state elections conducted in Pennsylvania.
- Senate Bill 1531 (Sen. Lisa Baker, R- Pike, Wayne and Wyoming counties and parts of Luzerne, Monroe and Susquehanna counties) to establish the Pennsylvania Veterans Trust Fund; and, in registration of vehicles, further providing for special plates for veterans.

- Do you have a loan on your vehicle?
Having a loan on your vehicle basically means yes you need to get the car repaired. Your lender will want the collateral, the car, repaired of any damages. Right now you do not own the car free and clear so as a partial owner it is your responsibility to get the vehicle repaired in a timely fashion. Most lenders require being listed on your auto policy as a loss payee to ensure you have full coverage listed on the collateral at all times.
Owning your vehicle out right will give you more flexibility on repairs. An insurance company will often give you the option to repair or not to repair, to total out or buy back. Some stipulations may apply, read below.
- Do you want to continue with physical damage coverage on your vehicle?
The insurance company will require the vehicle to be repaired if you want to continue with physical damage coverage, meaning comprehensive or collision coverage. It only makes sense the insurance company does not want to continue to insure the vehicle with physical damage once the vehicle has already been damaged. A second accident would obviously compound the existing damage and the insurance company already paid you once for the pre-existing damage.
It is standard procedure for the insurance company to require you to drop physical damage coverage from a vehicle which was not repaired. Proof of repairs is usually handled by making a claim check out to both you and the body shop doing the repairs. Photos and receipts can also be submitted for proof of repairs if you do want to continue with physical damage coverage.
When it comes to buying a totaled vehicle back, any major safety concerns will need to be repaired sometimes to get any coverage at all. Frame damage or blown air bags could be reason for an insurance company to deny coverage. Definitely check with your claim adjuster when it comes to insuring a previously totaled car.
It is tempting to use insurance claim money on other things rather than repairing your damaged car. It is especially tempting when the damage is only cosmetic and you really need the cash. Remember you are paying for the physical damage coverage for a reason. It is a good idea to get the damage repaired to keep your car's value in line. You have invested a lot of money, time, and care into your vehicle. If you really need the cash, you can always have the repairs done at a later date. Just let your insurance agent know when the work is complete if you want to add physical damage coverage back onto the vehicle.

News Release
This October, the Swope Art Museum introduces three exhibitions of contemporary art as part of the continuing "2013 Year of the River" celebration. The displays run concurrently and include "Borders: A Regional Survey," "Between Heaven and Earth: Installation" and "Taking to Water: Kaz McCue."
Each examines humans' relationship to the planet in a different way. The exhibitions open Oct. 4 and run through Jan. 4.
A group of five Midwestern artists explores the complexity of socio-political boundaries in the exhibition "Borders: A Regional Survey," co-curated by Mary Kramer, executive director of Art Spaces Inc., and Lisa Petrulis, curator of exhibitions and programs at the Swope Art Museum.
The exhibition features works in a variety of media that examine the link between national identity and geography, and the impact of both existing and historic borders on culture. Artists in the exhibition are Kramer, Mary Jo Maraldo, Nancy Nichols-Pethick, Petra Nyendick and Melissa Vandenberg.
Brooklyn-based artist Jonathan Soard connects psychology to place with landscapes in his second of two exhibitions, "Between Heaven and Earth: Installation."
Soard's oil paintings feature the long horizon of the Indiana prairie and reflect his musings on religion, life and mortality.
Michigan-based artist Kaz McCue studies water with the close-up lens of his camera to reveal the dynamic quality of this elemental, life-giving and destroying liquid in the exhibition "Taking to Water: Kaz McCue." In the controlled environment of a studio, McCue has created colorful abstractions that he refers to as psychological landscapes.
The three exhibitions open 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 4 during the museum's free "First Friday: String/Division." At 6:30 p.m., Sharilyn Spicknall presents "Violins and Violas, Splendid Strings," and at 8, the artists of "Borders: A Regional Survey" participate in "Let's Talk about Borders," a discussion of the invisible geographical and political borders that affect people's daily lives.
The Swope Art Museum is at 25 S. Seventh Street. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays, Mondays and national holidays. Admission is free.

Located at the end of Dune Road in Westhampton, Cupsogue Beach State Park is a pristine 296 acre barrier beach that features a wide, white stretch of sand along its Atlantic side, opposed by the more rugged rocky shoreline along the Moriches Bay.
From the parking area, ocean beach access is available via designated walkways over the dunes or along the boardwalked Pavilion area, which in the summer features showers, restrooms and concessions.
Stand on the seaside and you can view mega mansions and motels or take a stroll through the wind swept dunes onto a shell-sprinkled shore where there are unobstructed views of the Atlantic, making for an amazing sunset vista.
Where the paved parking area ends, a sandy access road begins and allows 4-wheeling fisherman and day hikers entrance to a seal observation area, a Piping Plover nesting site and the remote outer beach area.
As part of the Habitat Restoration Project, sponsored by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and several volunteer groups, the dunes and bayside trails are considered a sanctuary, offering conservationists the chance to observe lounging families of harbor seals in winter or watch a variety of birds nestled in pine trees that dot the dunes.
The project is aimed at restoring the habitat of shore birds, such as the federally-protected Piping Plovers and Least Terns; visitors should respect the parks rules and protected areas by avoiding posted or fenced nesting sites.
From December to May, the Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island offers through the Seal Observation Area, which is a great opportunity for families and nature lovers to enjoy the park during the off-season. For more information on the seal walks, visit www.cresli.org/cresli/seals/sealwalk.html.
Category: Outdoors, Exercise
Price: Free
Season: Winter
Note: Dress warm.

Brock Island Swordfish Filet served with sour cream and chive mashed potatoes and green beans.
Many of the Hill's signature dishes cater to a Reagan-era notion of good eating: surf and turf, lots of blue cheese and bacon in the house salad. Seafood is a strong point: The grilled swordfish is tall and terrific and the calamari appetizer is out of the ordinary. Desserts are quintessentially American: The molten lava cake has a lucious liquid chocolate center. The steaks are the usual cuts: filet mignon, New York strip, porterhouse and ribeye and all are certified Angus beef, char-grilled and prepared to spec, and finished with a burgundy demi glace. The strip is available au poivre. Meat lovers will also find lamb chop finished with rosemary balsamic natural sauce and french pomery mustard, and barbecued pork osso bucco.

|So after lots of mental planting over the winter, the plan began with the removal of an "Oso easy Paprika" rose about a month ago and today I relocated an established plant (an already finished blooming Candytuft) and then put in the ground a Mammoth Chrysanthemum "Dark Pink Daisy".
(For symmetry I will be planting another mum of some sort about 10 feet away).
Thanks Kevin for the idea.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I'm still waiting for the Mammoth mums I ordered to come it - hopefully they'll come soon... aachenelf should get a commission from the developer :-) I'm sure there must have been an uptick in sales due to his posts!
|May I ask why you removed the "Oso easy Paprika" rose; did it have issues or was it just in the wrong place?
|Happy to hear you found one. Let's form a cult!
Because of my winter funk, I didn't order any mums this year, but happened to find a Mammoth Red in a nursery I stopped at. Of course I bought it.
We'll have to post photos this fall and compare the various colors. I'm curious as to what the other ones looks like and how they do for people.
|nhbabs, in fact I removed two of these same roses to make room for 2 of Kevin's mums. I have 2 of these exact same Osos elsewhere and the ones I removed really didn't have enough space in this garden shown in the picture.
|Thanks, Rouge.
|have..... joined..... cult..... too......
Wish I could say I only planted one though.

|Ha-My friend and I ordered in early March. They finally came a week ago. About an inch and a half high. These are mammoth??
They will be growing in a pot. I complained and they refunded my money.
- Posted by RyseRyse_2004 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 15:42
|Flowergirl --- you got your mums and they were an inch and 1/2? What did you expect for $2 ea.? I received my order about 6 weeks ago and they are taking off like gang-busters. I have clipped off all of the buds and they have increased four-fold. I never would ask for money back if I receive healthy plants no matter the size. Shame on you.
Sorry - I have no patience for this type of thing.
|Ryse - I have to agree with you. If these were ordered from the source I suggested last season, it states very clearly these are rooted cuttings. If they were ordered from someplace else that didn't advertise these as cuttings, then there may be a case made for a refund.
In any case, the rooted cuttings will produce a nice sized blooming plant by fall. I may seem hard to believe, but they do. I've been ordering my mums like this for years. And as you stated, the price is certainly right.
|Kevin, my Dark Pink MM planted only 4 weeks ago is growing beautifully. It is now a foot in width and height...it has tripled its size. Already I am looking forward to Fall ;).

|I'm late to the party, so I'm not educated about these mammoth mums. But they sound fascinating. Can someone point me to threads with pictures and also the company to order from? Thanks.
|Looks good. Here's my Mammoth Red planted about a month ago.
It's also about a foot across, but since I pinched it back in early July not as tall as yours. I think these should be really nice by September.
|Looking forward to seeing them in bloom :)
|That foliage is beautiful! :off to look up mammoth mums:

RALEIGH — If you've ever wrestled a string of lights onto a Christmas tree, you've probably had the maddening experience of discovering a burned-out light tucked into a particularly inaccessible spot. That's nothing compared to what workers at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences have been up against with "Patterns of Nature."
It's a spectacularly cool exhibit that winds through multiple stories of the atrium of the Nature Research Center, the museum's new $56 million wing scheduled to open in April. Measuring 90 long by 10 feet wide, "Patterns of Nature" is a multimedia display that looks like a big waterslide, descending from the south wall to the front entrance on Jones Street.
It weighs in at a bit more than a ton and a half, consisting of 3,600 polarized plastic plates on a metal grid hanging by cables from the ceiling. Electric pulses create a liquid crystal display with a range of 256 shades, from clear to deep black.
"It's the same technology as digital watches or anything else with LCD panels," said Bill Washabaugh, whose Brooklyn-based engineering firm oversaw the installation. "Just bigger."
"Patterns of Nature" will live up to its name, showing literal patterns found in the natural world - schooling fish, flocking geese, swarming mosquitoes, wind in the grass and even the pulse of a deep-space black hole.
"Most people without a science background think that different aspects of nature are in isolation," said artist Jeff Lieberman, one of the exhibit's co-designers. "But there is this unity of underlying patterns, which science can show."
The display is aural as well as visual, with synchronized sound from eight speakers strategically positioned around the atrium.
"The sound really makes it come to life," said Eric Gunther, who worked with Lieberman on the design. "When you see these black pixels flying around and then hear the sound of birds, your mind glues the whole thing together. It's a collage of about 20 different visual patterns on a loop that lasts about an hour, and the soundscapes just melt into each other. Clouds turn into storms and raindrops that fall on a pond. Then it's underwater with fish schooling and comes back up into sunlight, then into grass. It's a spatial path through nature."
Looking up
"Patterns of Nature" has been several years in the making. After a prolonged round of calculations and design, a crew started building it at Washabaugh's Brooklyn workshop in December and shipped it to Raleigh in nine pieces in January.
Rigging the cables to hold it up took several weeks and installing the panels took most of February, with the last piece going into place Feb. 24.
It will be the most eye-catching thing in the new wing's atrium, causing visitors to crane their necks upward as soon as they walk into the entrance west of the Daily Planet, the globe that puts a stamp on Raleigh's downtown.
"We're figuring on a rise in neck pain after this goes live," Lieberman said.
Because it extends between two of the walkways through the atrium, the design also involved some delicate calculations. During the installation, Lieberman pointed out a couple of empty panels in a piece that was about to be raised into place and expressed hope they were in the right place because fire sprinklers had to pass through them (they were, although a smoke detector on the ceiling above had to be moved).
Energy use
While most of the installation went off smoothly, there were a few hiccups. The second of nine panels that went up had to be brought back down and taken apart for repairs because it had a single panel that didn't work - shades of those malfunctioning Christmas-tree lights.
"In being transported several hundred miles down here, something must have shook loose," Washabaugh said with a shrug.
But it's good to go, although they'll probably be tinkering with the programming up until opening day. Fortunately, it won't run up the museum's electrical bills too much.
"It's very energy-efficient," Lieberman said. "The whole thing runs on less electricity than a light bulb takes, about 55 watts. We did a lot of testing on it, too - threw baseballs at it to make sure it would stand up and not break. Anything that can happen, will happen. I'm sure kids will be throwing things onto it in no time."

Trenton police arrested a 16-year-old girl after finding a small amount of marijuana in a plastic bag inside her purse after a traffic stop at about 9 p.m. Feb. 13 at Fort Street north of Sibley Road.
Police said they could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.
Police also found marijuana in a pill bottle under the driver's seat, according to a Trenton police report.
Police handcuffed the girl, placed her in a patrol car and transported her to the Trenton Police Department, where she was issued a violation for violation of the controlled substance act, according to the same report.

At Tuesday night's Nanuet Board of Education meeting, Barr Principal Roger Guccione highlighted some of the key points of the schedule change and then went into detail on each grade level.
This change came about because of the need to cut costs within the school district to stay below the required .
"One of the elements of the budget—that we just approved to bring forward to the voters—is the middle school schedule is going to be changed from the current year," said Superintendent Mark McNeill.
On Thursday, April 19, Guccione will be hosting an orientation for the parents of incoming 5th grade students to review the schedule in detail for the parents
"The current schedule has been in place since Roger (Guccione) came on board. The fifth grade was moving over (from Highview to Barr). I remember our charge to (Roger) was to accommodate the concerns parents have about fifth graders in Nanuet being in the same building as eighth grade. Out of all of that came a very innovative schedule," said McNeill. "Unfortunately, with the economic times, we have arrived at that point where we can no longer afford that scheduling. A lot of time and effort this year was put into mitigating that reality."
The total savings for the district with this schedule change is approximately $200,000, which represents roughly 2.5 teaching positions.
The Big Picture
Guccione worked with a core team of teachers to figure out a schedule that would address the needs of the students, the school, testing and mandated common core standards. Some creative methods were used as well.
Overall, we're going back to a 9-period day. Each period will be 42 minutes long and there will be a 20-minute advisory period in the beginning of the day. All four grades will go through that," he said. "We're currently working as a faculty to reinvent advisory, the good parts of it that happened years ago and add some things that would be relevant and important for kids in the future."
Barr addressed the concerns of contact time in the core areas by adding an enrichment period, which allows the school to keep 90 percent of instructional time in the core areas.
"We're still developing this and we have some things in mind that need to be fleshed out," he added. "We're going to try new things and be innovative. Some things will work better than others and we'll look at this each year to see what's best meeting the kids' needs and the district's goals."
Teacher Chris Polizzi will also be starting a programming class for 7th and 8th grades.
Special Education
"I'm proud to say that we are now able to provide co-teaching in all four major core areas every day (in special education). We had to cut back on that previously," he said.
In special education, they spent a good amount of time looking at the model, in terms of coaching and the resource room.
"The resource remodel for 5th and 6th graders is actually three out of four days, so the special education students will get a little more time in the resource room and in the co-teaching model," said Guccione.
5th Grade
- All the social studies and science periods will be 42 minutes
- There will a double block for ELA—an 84-minute block
- "For mathematics—this is one of those creative pieces—there will be a 42-minute period daily and there will be an additional math class every four days. That will take place during a new period called Enrichment"
- Enrichment period—This is an additional period each day that will rotate on a 4-day cycle to align with the high school's schedule. One of the four days is the additional math class while the other three other days will be additional subject areas, such as literacy circles, poetry, something in mathematics or science.
- "During that (enrichment) period, students can take on a number of different things. We're looking to be creative, but again, reinforcing the goals of the district and the goals of the school"
- "In this model, since we added the ninth period, all students will be able to participate in band, orchestra and chorus, even students who have remediation or the resource room," said Guccione.
6th Grade
- The core subject areas—social studies, science, math and ELA—mirror that of 5th grade.
- "The enrichment period is different for 6th grade. Some of the things we're considering are Achieve 3000 (a literacy program), Rosetta Stone (foreign language) and we also have to put our general music course in there." He added that they're replacing general music with health in the 'wheel' courses, so general music will now need to be made up by being taken during an enrichment period.
- The hope is that Rosetta Stone will help kids explore foreign languages, either French or Spanish, and give them some background for them to make their choice for 7th grade.
- Guccione had a meeting with all the fifth and sixth grade teachers to discuss some of the needs of students and some of the courses that can be created for the students to meet district goals. Math teachers are now discussing how they're going to use the extra math period.
- He added that this enrichment period offers the chance to stretch the curriculum and do things that are more hands-on, that can relate to more real world situations.
7th Grade
- 5 academic periods: English, math, social studies, science and foreign language
- "Continue to offer enriched math for students that are recommended."
- In addition to that, the other periods are: lunch/recess, the 'wheel' (which includes art, tech, general music) and an elective period.
- Elective period—students will get to choose band/chorus/orchestra or the tech electives or an advance art elective. Students can get one or two electives and the remedial or resource room if they need it. "It's nice to have this flexibility."
- "We're looking to make the traditional study hall into something more. We're providing technology so students can get on to Achieve 3000 and ALEKS (a math program) and any of the other technology programs we can bring forward. We hope to make good use of that time."
- "We think many of the students will get may electives so we're not going to have a lot of periods where students will have study hall and enhanced technology periods."
8th Grade
There will be a few changes for this grade level.
- "We're going to continue with earth science, but the lab now will be an attached lab, similar to what the high school has, so there will be a 42-minute period every day and an attached lab for 42 minutes every other day. The lab will take place during an elective period."
- They're going to change the integrated algebra honors to just integrated algebra. The class will be 42 minutes.
- During the elective period, a 10-week health course is being added to the 'wheel' and they're removing service learning out of 8th grade.
- "We'll have more time in home and careers in 7th grade … (Guidance Department Chair) Mike Mahoney touched base with BOCES and we're trying to get more career things going so … they can get to high school with a little bit more background in career ideas."
- "We were able to preserve teaming through the change in the schedule. Next year we'll have three instead of four teams." A 7th grade team, 8th grade team and a split team made up of two sections of 7th and three sections of 8th grade.

Sarah Palin Did It with Future NBA Star Glen Rice Back in Those Crazy '80s, According to New Biography
According to Joe McGinniss' new biography of Sarah Palin, the one-day partial-term governor of Alaska had a somewhat… intimate encounter with future NBA player Glen Rice back in her post-college/TV sports reporting days…
Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU.
A publishing source told The Enquirer that McGinniss claims Sarah had a "fetish" for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had "hauled (Rice's) ass down." A source unrelated to the book told The Enquirer, Todd was very much in the picture at the time and the couple married just nine months later.
Yeah, well, that's just, like, biographer Joe McGinniss and the National Enquirer's opinion, man…
In the book, McGinniss quotes Rice as confirming the one-night stand.
Okay, so she had sex with a black dude. Or Glen Rice is lying for no good reason at all. (I can't imagine that's a source of pride for him.)
I'm not exactly certain what the significance of this is. I mean, this probably won't play too well with a certain contingent of her fan base. But those people will probably chalk this up as a left-wing smear job, because, well, they'd probably consider accusing someone of having sex with a black person as being a smear.
And I guess it makes her look like a hypocrite when taken along with all her abstinence-only education nonsense talk. But, she's been proudly draping herself in hypocrisy for years now. This is just like an extra hypocrisy scarf or something.
If anything, this actually kind of makes her more likable as far as I'm concerned. Especially considering allegations also coming out in the book that as governor of Alaska she had a bunch of minority volunteer state workers fired after taking office because she "just isn't comfortable in the presence of dark-skinned people."
If this Glen Rice news has any merit to it, it means she's comfortable in their presence, at least to some degree.

DERRY — It's a well-oiled machine of spirit and teamwork.
The Pinkerton Academy varsity spirit squad continues to make its mark on competitive cheerleading. It just won its 15th state title, the sixth in a row.
The team took the top spot at the Division I Spirit Championships at Southern New Hampshire University.
This was also the 15th state title win for longtime coach Michelle McCarty. The team also has captured the last five New England titles.
"We earned the highest raw score at a state cheerleading competition tournament that New Hampshire has ever given out — 211 points," she said.
McCarty said she told her 22-member team prior to the competition that they might go far.
"I told them they have the potential to earn the highest score we have ever earned as a team," she said. "They just hung on every correction and every word we had to say to improve as a team."
McCarty said the team works hard.
Practices are held two hours a day, five or six days a week.
Daily workouts include gymnastics training, running, cardio sessions and a lot of body weightlifting.
"Our routines are three minutes long and require our athletes to be in top mental and physical condition," McCarty said.
Her four seniors on the squad — Tom McCarthy, Jordan Toney, Jordan Daigle and Julie Venglass — all hope to continue their cheering at the college level.
"They are the most amazing kids," McCarty said.
The younger team members also do great things when the competitive spirit hits.
"They function as a family, not just as a team," McCarty said. "They love and respect one another, and really encourage each other on and off the mat."
She said Pinkerton's spirit squad continues to be popular with a record number of young athletes trying out for the team this season.

Facts About Ancient Greece
What we call Greece is known to its inhabitants as Hellas. The name "Greece" comes from the name the Romans applied to Hellas -- Graecia. While the people of ancient Hellas thought of themselves as Hellenes, the ancient Romans called them by the Latin word "Graeci" from which we get the word "Greek."
Facts About Italy

Who Were the Ancient Historians?
One of Greece's contributions to the world was the development of the genre of history. History emerged from other styles of non-fiction writing, particularly travel writing. There were also ancient biographers and chroniclers. Here are some of the major ancient writers of ancient history or on closely related topics.

Cumberland Times-News
Electing a Republican president with the current congressional Republicans now in office would not be in the best interest of lower and middle class Americans.
Most of these Republicans served during the two terms of George W. Bush, when Republicans controlled both Congress and and the White House.
These same individuals turned an inherited budget surplus into a deficit. They voted seven times to raise the national debt ceiling. They stood idly by while George W. Bush raided $1.33 trillion from the Social Security Trust Fund.
This was more money than all administrations over the previous 32 years combined had taken from this fund ($830 billion).
The Economic Policy Institute estimates as many 2.4 million American jobs were lost to China between 2001 and 2008. Our trade deficit with China grew 26 percent in 2000 to 69 percent in 2008.
The past performance record will not lead the United States to economic recovery.
Republicans in Congress have a history of being against any legislation that would benefit lower and middle class Americans. They voted against Social Security, Medicare, and now are against health care reform.
Not one Republican Congressman in the Senate or House of Representatives voted yea to pass health care reform. They said they did not know what the bill contained. That is their job, to read and understand a bill casting their vote.
How can any President accomplish the promises made to the American people when congressional leaders of the opposing party declared their first priority was to ensure this was a one term President?
