(1535 quotes found)
"If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance"
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
"Getting a dog is like getting married. It teaches you to be less self-centered, to accept sudden, surprising outbursts of affection, and not to be upset by a few scratches on your car."
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
"Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime."
"It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to unlearn"
"To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defense against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering. Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide."
"The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain"

Spaceport America Gets FAA License 61
from the fly-the-friendly-spaces dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Well, probably "space tourists" til the first couple of hundred go up and down successfully and the astronauts wings given out go from being solid steel with gold plating down to plastic clip on models made in taiwan in toy factories... then I think the media will just call them "tourists".
Last time I went to the USA people called me a "tourist" not an "airplane tourist" or a "USA tourist".
Ironically you would be travelling the most distance in your life and end not going anywhere.
Wasn't it Robert Heinlein who said that once you're in orbit, you're halfway to anywhere? In any event, getting into orbit makes it faster to reach any other point on Earth than with traditional jet aircraft. In his 1996 novel Firestar [amazon.com] , the first volume of a future history on the development of private space travel, Michael Flynn foresaw FedEx being one of the first patrons of spaceports, so that it could deliver urgent parcels faster. That was always an unreasonable expectation, and with the economic downturn it's even less likely, but perhaps other needs for getting into orbit to get elsewhere will arise.
I don't know. I went to school in Las Cruces (NMSU) and Dona Ana county is pretty damn poor other than those associated with either the Uni or White Sands. At the time (~1994) they were just starting to talk about a space port. For them to be willing to take a chance on something like this through a self imposed sales tax increase is commendable. The at least partial funding from the local tax base will keep local oversight fairly high. Granted it is construction so by default its corrupt, but I've seen how the areas has transformed since the early 90s and its impressive. I think it has been money very well spent and as long as it totally doesn't fall through will be a huge boom economically for the area. They've probably doubled the number of Sonics and Weinerschniztles(sp?) in town since I was there and anyone can a test to that being the true measure for economic strength for a town in the southwest.
The local tax district isn't supposed to carry the place, it's just supposed to show willingness of the locals, and later when there's significant tourist travel, THEN they'll be able to contribute more. For now it was enough to get it started so NM would fund the majority of the construction. It's a speculative investment by the state, which hopes to see returns if things work out.
So we should change the definition because that one is stupid. In my opinion, the name of the career is astronaut and even ones that don't get into space should be called that. There can be another name for people that go X miles high... or there doesn't have to be a name at all. They are just the people that have been X miles high, or "in space".
"Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." -- Alexander Graham Bell

For almost 30 years, people in Georgia's Fifth District -- and all of America -- have been able to count on this person of unquestionable integrity, someone who shares our hunger for justice and love of the planet.
It occurred to us at VoteVets.org that there will be a lot of statements from conservative candidates for president that range from "fudged" to "completely wrong." Most of these statements are easy to predict. So, as a public service, here's a cheat sheet for you, so when you hear those statements, you know why they're just not right.
Who has been held responsible for these lies that have destroyed a country, and destabilized the Middle East? Recently, President Obama admitted it was our invasion of Iraq that led to the creation of ISIL. Where is the accountability?
The Forgiveness Project's open and exploratory position on forgiveness can be challenging to some people, and secondly that the world of love, compassion and forgiveness can sometimes be a surprisingly inflexible place.
It carries big ramifications for American politics, the Middle East, and relations between the Islamic world and the West. Most everything will be more inflamed, not least the Iranian nuclear controversy and the future of Palestine. And of course American politics.
March 19 marks two gloomy anniversaries: the 12th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the 5th anniversary of the NATO intervention in Libya. Both overthrew Arab dictators; both left the local people in such horrific straits that many of them look back with nostalgia to the days of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Qaddafi.
The present thank-yous reflect a new reality: Americans now feel as if the military isn't theirs, has nothing to do with them, and is no part of their lives. It's someone else's dinner party (or nightmare, if you prefer).
At the risk of oversimplification, sometimes we just need to focus on the overriding big picture rather than all of the extenuating circumstances. In this case the big picture is clear. Containing Iran's agenda of political Shiism is just as crucial as containing Salafist jihadist violence.
Some of the myths that drive Arab discourse about American behavior in the Middle East are fascinating for what they say about our relationship with the region. Though often profoundly wrong, they are nevertheless frustratingly persistent.
In our era in Washington, whole careers have been built on grotesque mistakes. In fact, when it comes to our various conflicts, God save you if you're right; no one will ever want to hear from you again. If you're wrong, however... well, take the invasion of Iraq.
There are strong arguments making the case for the persistence (and indeed the intensification) of U.S. airstrikes against ISIS targets. But equally there are strong arguments, less frequently heard perhaps, for why the United States should not continue, and should certainly not intensify, those airstrikes.
These days, it has become far more difficult to teach the history of America's war in Vietnam because one of the chief lessons of that war we thought we had learned ("No More Vietnams") has been soundly disproven in recent years.
The incredible spectacle of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's speech to Congress -- in which he appeared as much as the leader of the political opposition to the Obama administration as the head of government of an allied nation -- has come and gone but will reverberate for a long time.
The Middle East is suffering the blowback from rotten U.S. policies, disastrous wars, and cultural turmoil. ISIS and its ilk are one result.
Green on Blue, a stunning debut novel by decorated veteran Elliot Ackerman, conveys not only the contradictions and duplicity of the war in Afghanistan, but of war itself.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Despite seeing their offense stymied in a 4-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, the Colorado Rockies feel as if they did more than just survive a grueling schedule to start the season.
Rockies end grueling streak with 4-1 loss to Reds
The Rockies finished their stretch of 40 games in 42 days with a 23-17 record, which manager Walt Weiss considers to be even more impressive considering the injuries that have plagued his team.
"I think we competed every day," said Weiss, who has had eight players go on the disabled list, including the five currently sidelined. "With the injuries we've had, we've had to compete — right out of the game. Our guys have fought through a lot of difficult stuff."
Another problem was revealed on Sunday. Left-hander Jorge De La Rosa, who was scheduled to start at Kansas City on Tuesday, was pushed back to Friday after he started experiencing back spasms the day after his last start. Left-hander Franklin Morales, who was Wednesday's scheduled starter, was moved up a day with right-hander Jhoulys Chacin moving into Morales' spot.
"We've got starting pitchers hurt and a lot of position players are banged up because of the rigors of the schedule," said right fielder Charlie Blackmon, who homered for the second time in two games on Sunday. "When we get healthy and get reasonable rest we'll play better."
Cincinnati's pitching was Colorado's main problem Sunday. Aroldis Chapman made his first major league appearance since being hit above the eye by a line drive during spring training, striking out the side in the ninth with his 100 mph fastball to close out the Cincinnati Reds' victory.
Todd Frazier hit his second 400-foot home run in three days to back Homer Bailey's shutdown pitching as Cincinnati won the rubber match of its three-game series with Colorado.
Chapman was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd of 33,143. He reached 100 mph with his first pitch and topped out at 102 mph in earning the save. Chapman had been out since being hit above the left eye by a line drive during a spring training game on March 19.
Skip Schumaker drove in two runs and the Reds capitalized on two Colorado throwing errors to send the Rockies to their third loss in four games.
Besides contributing two sacrifice bunts, Bailey (3-2) limited a Colorado offense that produced 11 runs and 16 hits on Saturday night to one run — Blackmon's ninth homer of the season — and four hits with two walks and six strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings.
"Where he did a good job on me was he went straight to his slider," Blackmon said. "He didn't mess around with throwing too many fastballs, and he used both sides of the plate. This park has the least foul territory of any park in baseball, and I don't know how I fouled out twice."

Shonen Jump Ultimate Stars AMV ''NEW'' 7/17/09 Shonen Jump, officially stylized SHONEN JUMP and abbreviated SJ, is a shōnen manga anthology published in North America by Viz Media. It debuted in November 2002 with the first issue having a January 2003 cover date.

Question about mature Peony all the sudden not blooming
Ok, my cousin and I were having a discussion via facebook and she told me her Peony that has bloomed year after year suddenly has no buds this year. I asked her if she dumped some dirt over it since last spring or anything different and she said no. Any ideas? It's got plenty of leaves but no buds. She lives in northwestern Arkansas.
Is it really near grass that got fertilized with high nitrogen fertilizer? Don't think anyone had a much warmer winter than normal last year so lack of cold probably isn't the issue. If the peony is getting wider and the middle is dying out it might be time to divide this fall, that'll make it start putting out flowers again the following spring. Did any buds try to start at all?
Thank you LizinElizabeth. She didn't mention fertilizing, but I will ask. I thought maybe the division thing could be a possibility, but I figured it would at least have some buds on it. I know I read that when they need dividing it can make them not produce as many flowers, but I didn't know whether or not it would cause it not to bud altogether. I'll message her tomorrow and ask her to look closer to make sure if any tried to start. Maybe she just didn't look close enough, but from what she told me there aren't any formed yet.
Ok,chatted with her this morning...She said no one has fertilized or put any chemicals down. She did go and look and posted a few pics of some VERY small buds, like Pea sized or a little under. All of my Peony's buds are way bigger than that by now except for a few duds here and there that obviously aren't going to do anything. So it is possible that it's bud blast from that freeze we had? I doubt she covered it up, but I have read usually Peonies do fine even uncovered especially if they are mature. Any other ideas what could be causing it?
Three of my old peonies did not bud or bloom this year. I have marked them for digging this fall and dividing. I will replant the best divisions after having composted the area. In my case I believe over the years too much soil accumulated over the roots, which were more than ten years in the ground. Al

Jennings on his way to Detroit in a sign-and-trade
The Milwaukee Bucks got rid of a potential headache yesterday, and traded point guard Brandon Jennings to Detroit for guard Brandon Knight and two other players. It was a sign-and-trade deal, in which Jennings signed a three-year contract for 24-million dollars. The 21-year-old Knight, from Kentucky, was Detroit's starting point guard for his first two pro seasons. He averaged 13 points and four assists in those campaigns.

It's of great significance for wind power integration into grid to forecast wind power. Based on forecasting wind power by BP neural network, the article introduces global optimization algorithm, Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) to provide optimized initial weights of BP neural network. Thus, it can overcome the entrapment in local optical optimum of BP neural network. Compared with BP neural network, it is found that the performances of ICA-BP neural network, which are training, testing and forecasting of wind power, are much better.

This paper introduces Kernel-based Information Criterion (KIC) for model selection in regression analysis. The kernel-based complexity measure in KIC efficiently computes the interdependency between parameters of the model using a novel variable-wise variance and yields selection of better, more robust regressors. Experimental results show superior performance on both simulated and real data sets compared to Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV), kernel-based Information Complexity (ICOMP), and maximum log of marginal likelihood in Gaussian Process Regression (GPR).

This paper proposes an approach for selecting best testing scenarios using Genetic Algorithm. Test cases generation approach uses UML sequence diagrams, class diagrams and Object Constraint Language (OCL) as software specifications sources. There are three main concepts: Edges Relation Table (ERT), test scenarios generation and test cases generation used in this work. The ERT is used to detect edges in sequence diagrams, identifies their relationships based on the information available in sequence diagrams and OCL information. ERT is also used to generate the Testing Scenarios Graph (TSG). The test scenarios generation technique concerns the generation of scenarios from the testable model of the sequence diagram. Path coverage technique is proposed to solve the problem of test scenario generation that controls explosion of paths which arise due to loops and concurrencies. Furthermore, GA used to generates test cases that covers most of message paths and most of combined fragments (loop, par, alt, opt and break), in addition to some structural specifications.

Abdellatif firstname.lastname@example.com Salama S. E firstname.lastname@example.com
Soft skills for software engineers turned out to be a very important factor in the success of any project helping the team's dynamics and performance. Conversely, computer science undergraduates are possibly not aware of the importance of soft skills for their careers. Accordingly this paper's main purpose is to highlight the gaps that exist for computer science graduates in Egypt. In this paper we present a simplified systematic literature review approach for this topic. A survey is conducted in Hellwan University, Cairo, Egypt where 136 computer and software engineering graduating students participated. The survey purpose was to uncover how students evaluate the importance of softs skills, how much they attain these skills, in addition to how much they think the university is helping its development. One outcome of our analysis is that there is a lack of understanding on how to define and thus provide those soft skills for computer science graduating students in Egypt.

Network traffic control is the process of managing, prioritizing, controlling or reducing the network traffic by the network scheduler. High utilization of link bandwidth is very significant for network control and maintenance in Software-Defined Networking (SDN). When we get the accurate link bandwidth predictions for T time periods of the future in a specific network topology, the residual link bandwidth could be determined by the link bandwidth capacity and corresponding prediction values. Given the non-real-time request pairs, this process can be transformed into a multi-commodity flow model. But the traditional multi-commodity model has not introduced the time dimension. In this paper, the model associated with the time dimension is to complete the transmission of the non-real-time network traffic. However, in consideration of the large scale of the problem, a heuristic algorithm on the basis of greedy strategy is proposed to schedule the non-real-time network traffic properly. The experiments show that the heuristic algorithm is superior to global optimization in computing speed and the single path resulting from heuristic algorithm occupies fewer links in the network topology for the non-real-time network traffic.

One of the main objectives of cloud computing providers is increasing the revenue of their cloud datacenters by accommodating virtual network requests as many as possible. However, arrival and departure of virtual network requests fragment physical network's resources and reduce the possibility of accepting more virtual network requests. To increase the number of virtual network requests accommodated by fragmented physical networks, we propose two virtual network embedding algorithms, which coarsen virtual networks using Heavy Edge Matching (HEM) technique and embed coarsened virtual networks on best-fit sub-substrate networks. The performance of the proposed algorithms are evaluated and compared with existing algorithms using extensive simulations, which show that the proposed algorithms increase the acceptance ratio and the revenue.

WiFi connectivity is a necessity as most of the mobile devices nowadays are coming with built-in WiFi adaptors. WiFi enables your electronic gadgets to 'talk' to other gadgets and to control and being controlled by other gadgets via Internet without complicated cabling systems. You can use your mobile phone to talk, to download, to control your TV, home security camera or even to open the door for you. WiFi connectivity makes life easier and more convenient. But in that convenience lies vulnerability if the WiFi network is not properly secured. A secured WiFi network is an important way of protecting your data, personal information or other tangible or intangible things in life. Building on the quantitative data collected from the 207 respondents in 2014 and comparing the findings with the data collected in the previous year, this paper investigates WiFi usage and WiFi security in Hong Kong. This study has two objectives: to identify any knowledge gap exists in using and setting up WiFi system; and to use the findings to help policy makers, WiFi security advisory bodies and service providers devise appropriate WiFi security measures and education programmes.

Spectrum sensing is the most important technique used to implement cognitive radio; this approach allows opportunistic and dynamic allocation of spectral bands. Among the methods used for detection, there are Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Energy Detection (ED); those exploit the signals coming from a Fast Fourier Transformed block (FFT). In this work, we focus on improving the performance of these three blocks by performing parallel computing, and considering the fusion of the two detectors ANN and ED. In this context, we implement three algorithms on GPU, which consist on exploiting the large number of cores to perform parallel calculation. The experimental results are compared with those obtained for CPU implementations. Our study presents how calculations distribution on GPU cores influences the global performance, and how to reduce execution time by optimizing data transfer. Furthermore, by exploiting the fine-grained parallel processing, and using a suitable choice of parameters, we find a considerable advantage of GPUs compared to CPUs, specifically for high data volumes.

Elrharras email@example.com S. El Moukhlis email@example.com R. Saadane email@example.com M. Wahbi firstname.lastname@example.com A. Hamdoun email@example.com
The cognitive radio system is proposed as an optimal way to improve the frequency underutilization. Spectrum sensing is the first and the essential function in this approach. A cognitive user must sense his environment to detect the unused channels, and then he can use the free channel without causing any interference to the primary user. In this article, an innovative technique is proposed for spectrum sensing based on principal component analysis and neural networks in frequency domain. The designed blocks are described using VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL). The suggested application consists of extracting features from the captured signals by PCA; the classification is done by a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). Neural network training part and principal components are done on MATLAB environment; while the hardware implementations are created on an FPGA DE2-70board.

This paper presents our study of exploiting the languages' word class information augmented with some rule-based processing for phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). In statistical machine translation, estimating word-to-word alignment probabilities for the translation model can be difficult due to the problem of sparse data: most words in a given corpus occur at most a handful of times. With a highly inflected language such as Oromo, this problem can be particularly severe. In addition, there is variant nature or use of different symbols for 'hudhaa' (the diacritical marker) in Oromo language which intrudes another severe data sparsity problem. In this work, we show that using fine tokenization of words considering intra-word behavior of words consisting hudhaa, and POS tag to modify the Oromo input and see how it improves Oromo-English machine translation system. The models were trained on a very small parallel corpus of data set (usually unacceptable for normal SMT system) and also the quality of the parallel corpus both in translation and spelling errors were not so good. Yet, our final system achieves a BLEU score of 2.88, as compared to 2.56 for the baseline system.

The database of tourism economic network in the fifteen regions of Xinjiang is constructed based on the gravity model. By using social network analysis methods to analyze the Xinjiang tourism economy network centricity nodes, network density and core-edge structure, and study its effect. The results show that economic network of tourism in Xinjiang is becoming complicated and unbalanced. Finally, the factors affecting the regional discrepancy of the network are discussed, which is mainly related to the condition of tourism resources, regional economic development level and transportation infrastructure.

The femtocell technology is a quick and intelligent solution that improving system coverage and capacity to meet the great demand of services on broadband wireless access, the deployment of access point femtocells will unload a great quantity of traffic from the LTE macrocellular to be managed by the femtocellular network.

Switching seamlessly between macrocell and femtocell base stations is a major challenge of LTE femtocell-macrocell integrated system; which is performed by the handover procedure that can guarantee an efficient transfer of UE from/to or between femtocells, and also offer an effective management of handover calls in the system.

The intelligent LTE integrated system architecture, a generation and the optimization of neighboring list that contain the best cells for handover, efficient algorithm for call admission control, and also an optimized handover procedure are the most important topics for research.

The intelligent LTE integrated system architecture is necessary to satisfy different criteria, as minimizing handover interruption, guarantee and assure minimum signaling overhead due to frequent and unnecessary handovers…so to determine a single handover decision making policy is not sufficient to develop the performance, thus in this paper we propose a call admission control policy to reduce the redundant handovers in the system and an improved process to create a neighboring list with best cells for handover and an appropriate ones for successful and efficient handover.

Firstly, we present the LTE femtocell-macrocell integrated network architecture with a large deployment of femtocells. We propose the details signaling flux for handover procedure for different scenarios and the proposed CAC scheme to minimize the unnecessary handovers, based on an optimized neighboring list.

Here,we conduct an empirical classification analysis of new UCI datasets that have dierent imbalance ratios, sizes andcomplexities. The experimentation consists of comparing the classification results of SVM with two other popularclassifiers, Naive Bayes and decision tree C4.5, to explore their pros and cons. To make the comparative exper-iments more comprehensive and have a better idea about the learning performance of each classifier, we employin total four performance metrics: Sensitive, Specificity, G-means and time-based eciency. For each benchmarkdataset, we perform an empirical search of the learning model through numerous training of the three classifiersunder dierent parameter settings and performance measurements. This paper exposes the most significant resultsi.e. the highest performance achieved by each classifier for each dataset. In summary, SVM outperforms the othertwo classifiers in terms of Sensitive (or Specificity) for all the datasets, and is more accurate in terms of G-meanswhen classifying large datasets. 2015-01-29T06:53:34-08:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/cis/article/view/44796 Reviewer Acknowledgements for Computer and Information Science, Vol. 8, No. 1 2015-01-29T06:55:40-08:00 Chris Lee firstname.lastname@example.com Reviewer Acknowledgements for Computer and Information Science, Vol. 8, No. 1 2015-01-29T00:00:00-08:00

There are many, many reasons that you need to be protected by insurance as a homeowner. Even if someone is trespassing on your property and gets attacked by your dog, you could be on the hook for the hospital bills. It's crazy, yes, but that's how the system works. Use these insurance tips to make sure you're always protected.
Be aware of what your home insurance actually covers. A regular home insurance policy doesn't cover things such as flood damage. This type of insurance needs to be purchased separately through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Another thing to consider is earthquake damage. If this is something that you may experience, you will have to buy specialized coverage from a private home insurance company. Luckily, both of these types of coverage are relatively inexpensive.
Before speaking with a claims adjuster about your homeowner's insurance claims, get some repair estimates from trusted local businesses. This will give you some ammo against the insurance company when they tell you how much something will cost to repair or replace. Also, emergency repairs that you make to keep the damage from getting worse will be covered, as long as you keep receipts.
Most people want to lower their insurance premiums. A higher deductible is one way to achieve lower insurance costs. A high deductible leads to small premiums. All it takes is the initial cash for covering any small claims occurring after the transition. The overall savings are positive and recommended.
Paying off your mortgage may not be easy, but doing so can make your homeowner's insurance premiums drop significantly. Insurance companies assume that people who own their houses outright are more likely to take good care of them, and so they will file fewer claims that the insurance company will have to pay.
There can be many things that can be done to help lower your homeowners insurance. Most people will think about what they have done in regard to safety in their home but most don't think about the neighborhood around them. For example, if a fire hydrant was put in within 100 feet of your home it might be used to lower your premium. It never hurts to call and ask.
To reduce the price of your home insurance, you need to decrease the risks of accident. You can start by buying fire proof furniture and materials. Install smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Your insurance company will consider your home as safer, and in case of fire you should be able to contain the fire more easily.
Flood Insurance
Even though you aren't in an area that's prone to flooding, you still may need flood insurance. Approximately one fourth of federal disaster claims due to flooding occur in homes outside high-risk areas. If your home is located in an area with low or medium risk for floods, your flood insurance cost can be heavily discounted.
When doing an insurance claim, solicit price quotes from trusted area contractors before getting your claims adjusted. All records should be kept in order to prevent any further losses. If you are unable to live in your home as a result of damages sustained, you may have to pay to stay in a hotel or motel. If so, save your receipts and submit them to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Just about anything can happen and leave you on the hook for some big bucks. Unless you're protected, you could end up losing your house for multiple reasons. Follow these tips and use them to work up a solid insurance policy that's affordable and that provides ample protection for your home.

Abstract: A new sesquiterpene polyol ester with a β-dihydroagarofuran skeleton, NW37 (1), and three known compounds NW13 (2), NW16 (3) and NW35 (4) were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation from the highly polar MeOH extracts of the root bark of Celastrus angulatus. Their chemical structures were elucidated mainly by analyses of MS and NMR spectral data. The insecticidal activity of compound 1 against 4th instar Mythimna separata larvae with a KD50 value of 252.3 μg·g-1 was demonstrated.

If you have an Instagram account, follow fashion bloggers or just love jewelry in general, then I'm sure you're well aware of Cartier's famous "Love" bracelet. Designed by Aldo Cipullo in 1969, the bracelet quickly became popular for its intentional resemblance in function to medieval chastity belts because of its extraordinary locking mechanism. Unlike traditional bracelets, the "Love" bracelet is designed to be opened only by using a special screwdriver that is supplied with every bracelet. The screwdriver is also available in the form of a necklace, allowing the bracelet to be "locked" onto one person, while the "key" is kept around the neck of another, as a symbol for their commitment to their relationship. Luckily, the "Love" bracelet can be opened with any standard slotted screwdriver (just in case things don't work out with your better half, I guess ). Although slightly confining, I think it's a romantic gesture and a very beautiful sign of love, but most of all is it a very expensive one at $6.600 for the 18K yellow gold version. There's definitely a lot of commitment neccessary for such a splurge purchase.

How to Winterize Apple Sapling?
Hi All,
I started growing an apple tree from a seed in spring 2011 - I kept it in a pot in the garage over the winter (covered and insulated with balled-up newspaper).
In spring 2012, I planted it in the backyard (still in the pot - i.e., I dug a hole, put the pot in, and covered it back up with some mulch on top...we're moving in a couple of years, so I'm hoping to keep it potted underground until then, to make it easier to move). The tree is now about 12" high.
I now want to prep it for this winter, and I'm wondering how I should winterize it. Should I a) dig up the pot and put it in the garage again, or b) leave it in the backyard, protected from the elements somehow?
I've included a picture of the tree (not the best image, I'll try to take a better one). Some more details:
- it's planted next to a fence (I'm hoping to espalier it, maybe starting next summer if it's big enough)
- our backyard is fairly well sheltered, so the wind won't be too bad
- we'll have a foot or so of snow build up in the backyard over the winter
Not sure if there are any other important details, I'm very new at this. If you want any more info, let me know!
Any help or tips is very much appreciated :).
(And I know that, because I grew it from a seed, it likely won't grow any edible fruit, but that's okay with me.)
Perhaps others can give you specific advice on how to winterize your tree, but here are some thoughts:
Apple root balls get big. If you're planning to have this thing in a pot for a couple years before you move, you'll need a big pot eventually, no? Maybe moreso since the roots will be those of a standard apple (not sure on this point, though).
Those I've known who keep fruit trees in pots usually have dwarf trees. A lot of people will say, "you can make any tree any size by pruning," but it seems to me you'll still have the vigorous roots to contend with.
People keep all sorts of plants heeled in all winter long. I briefly considered heeling in some seedlings in the bed for the winter before planting them out next spring (I gave up this plan to encourage better root growth). Except for heeling them in, I wouldn't have winterized them in any way. In your climate, maybe things are different, but if I were you, I'd just leave them heeled in. Maybe consider trunk protection (hardware cloth or something) to keep the critters from munching on/girdling your tree under that foot of snow.
I've never espaliered fruit trees. I wonder if it's easier/better with dwarf/semi-dwarf rootstock.
My dad planted apple trees everywhere he lived and always said he was happy to leave them for future owners to enjoy when he moved. Maybe you just want to plant it and be done? Maybe graft on some edible fruit so that people are more inclined to keep it. :) Anyway, good luck!
Sam_NY - I'm not sure how big the root ball will get, I'll have to look into that. Next spring, I was thinking of repotting it - but if it's already running out of space, maybe I'll have to consider leaving it for whoever buys our house :).
I had thought about covering it with a rose cone for the winter - but maybe just wrapping it in some burlap will be enough to protect it for the winter.
I like the idea of grafting on edible fruit later on - do you know if some fruits are better than others? Should I just make sure to pick ones that are suited to my zone?
daemon2525 - I was wondering if it was growing as much as it should. I think I unintentionally pruned it at the top of the trunk - that is, when I pulled it out of the garage, it didn't grow from the top anymore. It just started growing new branches vigorously.
Have you fertilized your seedlings at all? I've read not to do that before the winter, but I may give it some fertilizer next spring. And I may have watered it too much this past summer, almost every day in July (thankfully, it was a pretty dry summer, pretty much no rain all of July).
Thanks for the help!
Unless you're growing in a greenhouse I think it's wise to grow fruit suited to your climate. (see http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/fruit/msg0921115727022.html?4)
You're pretty limited to grafting other apple varieties (I've heard of people grafting pears on apple roots, though I think that's likelier to fail). Maybe there are some exotic apple relatives that would work. I've only ever done apples to apples, as it were. A little web research will yield some interesting ideas for apples suited to your zone that you can try.
Just curious: do you happen to know whether the seed you planted came from an apple grown near you? If it came from, say, Australia, I could imagine the genetics working against you up north.

PCRM "Consequences" Ad Links McDonald's To D.C.'s Heart Disease (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 14th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness, Restaurants, Videos.
The old saying that "I'd like to die with," inserting favorite vice is illustrated in a new Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine commercial that airs in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, September 16th, 2010. The group is targeting McDonald's restaurants, saying the fast food giant is responsible for the poor health of so many Americans living in the nation's capital.
The commercial shows a man lying in the morgue with a half-eaten burger in his hand. After a few seconds of a grieving loved one hovering over him, the commercial closes with McDonald's signature golden arches tracing over his feet with the words, "I was Lovin' It." The voiceover then says, "High cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks. Tonight, make it vegetarian."
According to the Wall Street Journal, PCRM wanted to air the commercial in the D.C. region because the capital has the second highest rate of heart disease related deaths, second to Mississippi.
The deaths kills more than 1,500 each year.
PCRM plans to write to Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty, asking for a moratorium on fast food restaurants in the city. D.C. has more fast food restaurants like Burger King, McDonald's and KFC per square mile than other similar sized cities.

NFLPA to examine Jackson's release
DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL Players' Association, said on Friday that the union will look into the circumstances surrounding DeSean Jackson's release by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mike and Mike
NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith comments on DeSean Jackson's release, young players' conduct in the NFL, Northwestern football players' bid to unionize and more.
The Eagles' decision to cut ties with one of the most electrifying players in club history last week came after the team uncovered information about Jackson's off-field connections and activities, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Shortly before Jackson's release from the Eagles, NJ.com published a story discussing Jackson's alleged gang connections. Jackson refuted that report.
Smith said the NFLPA will examine whether the Eagles leaked comments or misinformation to the media about Jackson, who signed a three-year contract with the Redskins on Wednesday. That deal is worth $24 million, including $16 million guaranteed, according to league sources.
"That's something that we're going to look at," Smith said on ESPN's "Mike & Mike" show. "We've always been aggressive about protecting the integrity of our players, especially where we believe or think that a team may have done something that is impermissible, and that's something that we're gonna look at."
The Eagles issued a statement saying they decided to release Jackson "after careful consideration." The team has withheld further comment.
The real issue is this is the business of football. If you want to make a decision to cut a player, tell a player he's cut. Make a decision." -- NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith
A league source told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio that the Eagles decided to release Jackson for a number of reasons due mostly to "work ethic and attitude."
"You're talking to a guy who spent 10 years as a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., and I grew up in the city ... to have someone come out and say 'gang affiliation,' I'm not sure I know what that means," Smith said. "I certainly know what it means to prosecute members of a gang. I certainly know what it means to be a member of organized crime. I don't know what it means when a team or an official says that there's 'gang affiliations.'
"To me, the real issue is this is the business of football. If you want to make a decision to cut a player, tell a player he's cut. Make a decision. But if you want to smear a player with innuendo or something that is less than proof ... you know that I was very aggressive in calling a few GMs cowards for what they said about a young man coming out of college [former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam]. It seems to me that the same thing applies ... if you want to smear someone and you don't have any evidence."
Jackson was set to be interviewed by ESPN's Stephen A. Smith later Friday. That interview is scheduled to be aired on "SportsCenter" at 6 p.m. ET.
