Machine Gun Preacher PlotMachine Gun Preacher is the inspirational true story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing criminal who undergoes an astonishing transformation and finds an unexpected calling as the savior ofhundreds of kidnapped and orphaned children. Gerard Butler (300) delivers a searing performance as Childers, the impassioned founder of the Angels of East Africa rescue organization in Golden Globe-nominated director Marc Forster's (Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland) moving story of violence and redemption.
When ex-biker-gang member Sam Childers (Butler) makes the life-changing decision to go to East Africa to help repair homes destroyed by civil war, he is outraged by the unspeakable horrors faced by the region's vulnerable populace, especially the children. Ignoring the warnings of more experienced aide workers, Sam breaks ground for an orphanage where it's most needed—in the middle of territory controlled by the brutal Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a renegade militia that forces youngsters to become soldiers before they evenreach their teens.
But for Sam, it is not enough to shelter the LRA's intended victims. Determined to save as many as possible, he leads armed missions deep into enemy territory to retrieve kidnapped children, restoring peace to their lives—and eventually his own. The explosive, real-life tale of a man who has rescued over a thousand orphans from starvation, disease and enslavement, Machine Gun Preacher also stars Michelle Monaghan (Due Date), Kathy Baker (Cold Mountain), Madeline Carroll (Mr. Popper's Penguins), Academy Award® nominated Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) and Souleymane Sy Savane ("Damages").

Left venting dryer for laundry room
I am trying to finalize my list of appliances for a new build. It seems that the standard capacity Miele washers/dryers are being discontinued? I had planned on this pair because the dryer could left vent and the door on the washer could be changed so that it could sit to the right of the dryer. I have called around to local appliance stores, and all seem to be out of the standard capacity Miele pair and are not expecting any more. One store has a display pair on hold for me until tomorrow. I am almost a year away from being able to install, so it doesn't seem right to buy right now? The sales guy was not fond of the Asko pair because of service concerns. He showed me a Whirlpool (I think) pair where the dryer had a left vent option, but the washer door could not be changed to open from the left side which would make the ergonomics awkward. I'm looking for advice. Should I try to find a Miele pair somewhere and leave them sitting in storage until ready to install around a year from now? Anyone know of another model that would be good quality, have a left venting dryer and a washer that has a door that can be opened from the left? If I have to change the laundry room to accommodate a rear venting dryer, what is the best washer/dryer FL combo? If I can make a left vent option work, DH will be very happy as we have had several venting frustrations in the past and he wants to keep the venting straight forward in this new build.
I wouldn't buy appliances that far in advance unless you're assured that the warranty will start at installation, not delivery. If this is a new build, can't you just plan the vent for the more common case?
I had a similar problem.... I found that the LG dryer's vent (the 5101 version, I think) can be switched to vent from the side, and that's what I'll be going with. And, I'm also holding off to buy until I'm ready to install, because don't want the warrantee to run out before I even get the thing installed!

Student Success is our shared mission
The Virtual Learning Centre has been offering Ontario Secondary School students a wide range of flexible, and well designed high school courses since 1997.
The VLC offers students a full range of learning opportunities powered by the latest online technologies available.
A partner with the Ministry of Education and eLearning Ontario, our aim is to provide a full range of courses available to students anywhere.
We are committed to setting very high standards for distance learning and know that the student-teacher interaction is key to student success. For this reason, we encourage all of our students to attend web meetings, and to adhere to the course schedule and all due dates. This level of rigor builds a strong work ethic and forges a classroom and school community thereby preparing our students for post-secondary studies.

Courses starting this week
It is not a snowday at the VLC! We will do our best to start loading students in classes today. But this is a significant job and takes time. Please be patient as we load classes as quickly as we can. Watch your email for login information and note that courses will be added to […]
Our Courses
All of our courses are taught by highly qualified Ontario teachers who understand how to blend the power of synchronous, streamed communication with the flexibility of static, anywhere-anytime course content. Students succeed in our program and our attrition rates (under 20%) demonstrate that our program works for most learners.
How are online courses taught?
When you register for an online course within the Virtual Learning Centre, you will be provided with login information such as a username and id. You will also receive an Internet address (URL) to your course. When you login for the first time, an introductory message from your teacher will greet you. This message will outline the course content and describe how the course will be delivered and what is required of you. Although all of the Virtual Learning Centre's online courses look the same, your teacher is ultimately in charge of how the course will run.
Who teaches the online courses?
Certified teachers who are employed within the Trillium Lakelands District School Board deliver online course material for the Virtual Learning Centre. Each teacher receives training and support so that they are comfortable with the online approach to both teaching and learning.
Will I benefit from online courses?
In most cases, this form of course delivery works well. Obvious prerequisites include motivation, computer familiarity, and the ability to work independently and meet deadlines. Remember, though, that although there is daily contact with others in the class, there may not be any face to face meetings. For students with some learning styles, taking online courses may not be an appropriate choice.

The Vijayawada police suspect that gangs from Tamil Nadu may be involved in Thursday's cash snatching case.
Two motorbike-borne men snatched Rs.7.99 lakh from a person in broad daylight on the Bandar Road on Thursday and fled.
Deputy Commissioner of Police M. Ravi Prakash told The Hindu that based on the modus operandi it was suspected that gangs from places such as Thiruthani and Vellivakkam in Tamil Nadu may be involved in the crime.
Similar case last year
Last year, there was a similar case near Axis Bank at Patamata, in which a gang from Tamil Nadu was involved, he said.
"When these gangs strike they do it in a sequence. There was a similar case in Guntur on Wednesday, where a duo made good with Rs. 14.5 lakh from a person," said the DCP.
Thursday's incident occurred at about 11 a.m. when K. Padmanabha Rao (60), a resident of Patamata Lanka, withdrew the amount from State Bank of India, Labbipet branch, and was crossing the road where he had parked his bike.
According to Assistant Commissioner of Police (Central Zone) D.V. Nageswara Rao, the moment he crossed the divider, two persons came zipping down on a motorbike and snatched the bag containing cash. "Rao was holding the bag tightly and was a few feet behind his accompanying friend.
He fell on the road when they tried to snatch the bag and also got dragged for a few feet before losing grip," said the ACP.
The SHO of Machavaram Police Station and the investigating officer, Ch. Muralikrishna, informed The Hindu that Mr. Padmanabha Rao had drawn the cash for registration purpose of land at Kankipadu.
No CC cameras outside
The police are verifying the photographs of offenders involved in similar cases in East Godavari, Visakhapatnam and West Godavari districts.
According to the police, the bank did not install CC cameras outside, despite a notice being served to all banks after last year's Axis Bank case.
The DCP pointed out that cameras placed outside actually give vital clues than the ones installed inside.

Climbing hydrangeas
I am growing a climbing hydrangea on my deck next to a trellis. I'm hoping it will spread on the trellis,but because I have to have it in a pot I'm wondering it it will survive the winter outdoors or what I can do to protect it.
I overwintered the plant on an unheated enclosed porch this winter I didn't even water it and it came back strong this spring. If it grows on the trellis,I'll have to keep it on the deck.
Since no one else has answered yet, I'll jump in with my thoughts on this.
Can you possibly plant the climbing hydrangea in the ground? These plants may take 3 years to get "going", but grow to be huge over time ... 30-50 feet! A vine this size is equivalent to a small tree and, I believe, will need an adequate root system to support it. You'd need a rather large pot. However, since it is winter hardy to USDA Zone 4, you shouldn't have any trouble overwintering it in a container, as long as it is not subjected to repeated and extreme fluctuations in soil temperature (as in a dark pot absorbing the sun's heat on a mild winter day, followed by a severe cold spell). If the container is in the shade, no problem. If the container will be in the sun, I would protect it with mulch or some other means of insulating it from extreme temperature fluctuations - the root ball, not the vine.
I have a climbing hydrangea growing in my back/side yard, in dappled sunlight, and, after the initial slow growth phase while it was establishing its root system, it has been very vigorous, floriferous, and (I hope I'm not jinxing the plant, here) pest & disease free.
Missouri Botanical Garden has some good information on this plant; link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Missouri Botanical Garden: Climbing Hydrangea
They do become massive plants. Rarefind Nursery may be offering the extraordinary sort from Skylands Estate in the Ramapo Mts. of N. Jersey. A particularly nice flower.
Both Skylands and Rarefind are great places to visit.
While I have never seen flowers, the vine Schizophragmae 'Moonlight' is very beautiful, and may grow not so big.
Hope I spelled it correctly.
Here's my current one - while this is last year, viewing it this year, it's climbed nearly 30' with one of the vines veering right on the first major branch.
I'm just happy to know that it will not affect this 80' oak as to insects, blight, etc.
Thank you for your posts. I have to have the plant on a deck because there is a 2 foot drop off the deck behind the trellis with no sun on the other side below the deck. This does look like an imposing vine once it gets going. Any other suggestion for a vine to grow on a trellis with dappled sunshine.I would prefer some flowers.
Glad to know that it will winter in the pot if I decide to give it a try.
Most perennial or woody vines will only produce flowers for 4-6 weeks, at most, so choose something that will please you even when not in bloom. Consider the shape, texture and color of the foliage. If you want summer-long blooms, then you might have to go with some kind of annual vine. Look into coral honeysuckle, lonicera sempervirens. This is a native American honeysuckle, not the invasive Japanese honeysuckle. Mine blooms from spring until frost - the buds are coloring up now. It is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Don't worry about the shade alongside the deck; most plants prefer having their roots shaded anyway. It's the leaves that need the sun.
After year 3 or 4 the climbing hydrangea will start to grow quickly into a heavy plant with a sizable trunk. Mine pulled down the trellis we attached it to. I actually like your idea of confining it to a pot if you're willing to take it out every couple of years and trim the roots, treating it like a bonsai. Even if the trunk is kept short you will have younger, flexible branches coming up that you can allow to climb. It's worth a try!
I saw a response from a gardener that had an 80' oak covered in a hydrangea vine. I have a similar sized one on my side yard facing the street. I want to plant a climbing hydrangea there but was unsure of how it would take to the pin oak base. Do you build up a bed around the trunk? The tree is in a lawn setting. I've only ever grown CH in a bed in a pampered, shady areaâ¦just wasn't sure how resilient it would be.
Dunedog. My creeping hydrangea (see above pic in an earlier post) is planted no more than 2' from the base of that white oak. One need not build a box or anything, though that oak is in a naturalized contiguous bed. So if you're trying to plant a climber and you have grass nearby, you're going to have make some accomodation for the hydrangea (i.e turnover the soil and with that, you're dealing with compacted soil which is going to inhibit root growth).

Fianna Fail appear to have come back from the political dead and they are now Ireland's second biggest party according to a new Irish Times poll.
The party left office in disgrace two years ago and their numbers slumped but the new poll shows them at 21 per cent, up four points from the last poll.
Sinn Fein come in right behind them on 20 per cent but the Labour Party vote is at just 12 per cent.
Still well ahead is Fine Gael with 31 per cent but satisfaction with the Fine Gael/Labour government is down by six points.
Enda Kenny, current Prime Minister, is the most popular political leader, while Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams comes in second.
A massive 14 per cent of the population stated they would vote for independent candidates in the next election in at least two years time.
Fianna Fail has made their comeback as anger about the austerity measures of the current government continues. It remains to be seen if they can maintain their high level of support.

How to Ride a Broomstick
Here's an interesting item sent to me by Geoduck, just in time for Halloween. Apparently a rumor has been going around suggesting that the image of witches flying on broomsticks, with the brush behind them, is wrong. Back in the old days witches always flew holding the brush in front of them. It was only in modern times, as we came to understand aerodynamics, that we flipped the broom around. This rumor can be traced back to Kevin Carlyon, a self-proclaimed Witch King. But this website, Pagan Prattle, has studied the issue by looking at images of witches dating back as far as the 15th century, and has determined that Carlyon doesn't know what he's talking about. The proper way to ride a broom IS with the bristles behind you.

This is true...especially in colonial America...the broom was 'ridden' to meetings with the bristles behind, which erased your footsteps so that you might not be followed. The broom (besom) is used for many things, such as cleansing a ritual space, the handle for stirring 'witches' brew', and other such things.Posted by catlady on Sun Dec 12, 2004 at 06:53 AM

"It's time to step up to the plate" Liberty Uprising in PittsburghSubmitted by The Firewall on Sun, 11/24/2013 - 00:54
As more American awaken to the reality of out-of-control government, pastor, veteran and family man Tom Fodi throws his hat into the ring on a pro-Liberty platform:
"In light of these egregious challenges facing our community, coupled with my passion for liberty, I've become an outspoken advocate for a return to more constitutional form of government. But, the time for mere words is over.
Throughout the past couple months many have approached me, each effectively asking the same question, "If not you, then who? If not now, then when?" After much personal reflection and consultation with those closest to me, I've decided that I love my family, my neighbors, my community, my state, and my country too much to stand idly by any longer. It's time to step up to the plate.
I'm thrilled to announce my candidacy for State Representative of the 20th Legislative District in the 2014 election cycle."

The original film (directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960) was essentially the first slasher film and, in turn, initiated a new avenue of horror that has, by now, become passĂ© (though, nonetheless, commercially successful).

10% Fewer Americans Believe US Is Winning War on Terror
10% Fewer Americans Believe US Is Winning War on TerrorAs the turmoil in the Middle East roils and President Obama's foreign policy scheme faces severe pressure, a recent survey of likely voters finds that pessimism about our success in the War on Terror "continues to grow" with 45 percent saying they think the U.S. is winning that war, a 17-point drop from its one-time high of 62 percent in February 2009.
Rasmussen found that 45 percent think the U.S. is winning the war, 21 percent think the terrorists are winning, and 26 percent think that the neither side has an advantage.
The number of those who think the U.S. is winning has been steadily dropping since May of 2011.
Another Rasumssen poll finds that only 18 percent feel that U.S. relations with the Muslim world are better now than four years ago.
President Obama's first major foreign policy effort was to smooth relations between America and Muslims and his speech in Cairo, Egypt in 2009 was hailed in the western press as a great leap forward in American/Muslim relations. But four years later, the American public has come to feel that Obama's initiative has failed.
A full 45 percent feel that relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world are worse now than four years ago. 13 percent feel there has been no real change since 2009.

Cory Jane targets November tour
February 8, 2013
Cory Jane won't return until he is ready. © Getty Images
Cory Jane hopes to feature on the All Blacks' end-of-season tour, but he won't return from his serious knee injury until he is 100%.
Jane ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session with the Hurricanes, but he has delayed surgery because of swelling in the joint.
"I've got to get the swelling down, and it's going down quite a bit," Jane said.
"I won't know until he says: 'Yeah I want to cut your leg open now and this is normally the time from then.' I won't know the details until then. But I'm hoping I play a little bit of rugby this year ... if all goes well."
Jane sustained the injury during a light drill, when he went to step; his right leg slipped and he was then "tapped from the other side" by one of his team-mates and folded over.
"It felt like my knee was hanging outside of my leg," Jane said. "But it wasn't. I managed to go off and go inside. But I picked myself that it was bad. I got the news the next day what I'd done. Whilst I was a bit gutted, I'd prepared myself for it so I knew how to handle it. Now I've just got to do the right things and get back on the field."
Jane, who has not previously undergone a surgery, has taken the injury in stride.
"I'm not getting depressed about it. It is what it is. It's part of the game. You get injuries and you've just got to deal with it. You've just got to be smart on how you do it (the recovery) after the surgery.
"If you rush back you could take a while and you could do it again. I'll take my time. I've talked to the Hurricanes coaches and the All Blacks coaches, and they said 'take your time and get it right'. There is no pressure on that side. I'll do that and I'll come back ready to go again when it's 100%."
Jane said he would be around the team as much as possible during his recovery to help the outside backs, including Julian Savea and Andre Taylor.
"There are young guys in the outside backs so if I can come in and teach them a few things or keep sharing my knowledge on what I see in games - because I'll be watching a fair bit of it - I'll do that."
He can also expect to be kept busy at home, as he and wife Amie are expecting their fourth child in a few weeks.
"That will take my mind off the rugby side of things. The house is full on. I'm trying to rest but feel bad for her because she's knackered. It's a bit hectic at the moment."

Endless Summer Farm
Has anyone ever ordered tubers from them? Good or bad reviews? Just wondering because they are in my home state and I would rather support the local economy that buy something a thousand miles away but I want good quality too.
They have two positive reviews in the Garden Watchdog and no negatives, but I've heard others have had good experiences there as well. I enjoyed looking over their website earlier this year.
Good for you for shopping local. I try to do the same: there's just too many dahlia vendors in the NW, but I'm trying to try them all before I hang up my shovel.
Here is a link that might be useful: Endless Summer reviews
I was in Maine last fall and discovered Endless Summer. What an amazing place!! Phil was so nice and even showed me his room where he keeps all his tubers and cut flowers. The gardens are on the property of his house. My husband who could care less about flowers was blown away. I purchased eight different kinds-I was a dahlia newbe and a little apprehensive. I had the most beautiful flowers. I can't wait to order more. We went back twice. I'll try and post some photos.
Do yourself a favor...go there! You could spend hours wandering through the gardens. Have you had a hard frost up there yet? My dahlias are still going strong. I did dig up the tubers that didn't bloom very well. I put them in a too shady space.
Here are a few photos:
first 3 are at Endless Summer-the rest are my dahlias. Enjoy!
Thanks poochella!
I guess I put them in the wrong spots. Some grew, but did not flower. Since the growth was spindly, I'm assuming I didn't plant them in a sunny enough spot. When I received the tubers, they all looked very healthy, so I guess it was my mistake.
I dug them up and one actually grew several baby tubers. Will the tuber be viable if the plant never flowered?
I am going to plant in the sunniest part of my yard next year. I have put many plants up for adoption to make room!
The more sun the better. If the baby tubers are growing off the collar of tissue surrounding the stalk/s and show some evidence of eyes, I'd save them. Save them even if you can't see the eyes, they may surprise you next spring. Little tubers that form off another tuber will not have eyes and won't produce a plant next year.
The plant not flowering could be due to poor growing conditions, lack of sun, poor plant stock, late-blooming variety and other probably a host of other reasons. If it grew reasonably well and had decent foliage, I like to give them another chance. If they don't do well, I don't save them.
I wonder if you 'topped' your plant early on to help it bush out? That helps avoid spindly growth and get more flowers.
Here is a link that might be useful: Topping Dahlias from Dahlias.net
Thank you scorpgirl24 for the pictures they are all so pretty. I really like the dark red and white one from endless and the peachy one with the yellow center from your own! We have had a few frosts here and a little bit of snow already. My dahlias were killed off in sept sometime so I'm sure endless summers is put away for the season too. I am definately going to visit them next summer. It's such a pretty area where they are I might try to make a whole weekend of it.

One of my favorite Threadless T shirts
I hate spoilers. Once I turned on the TV and accidentally watched last 10 min. of The Usual Suspects (I hadn't seen it before). Whoops. I also figured out the ending of
But do spoilers actually decrease enjoyment?
Spoiler alert: A recent study says no.
Researchers at UCSD conducted an experiment to see how spoilers affect readers' enjoyment of a story. They had students read three types of short stories: ironic twist stories, mysteries, and evocative literary stories.
The stories were presented in one of three ways:
1) In its original form (unspoiled condition)
2)With a spoiler paragraph presented before the story (external spoiler)
3)With a spoiler paragraph incorporated as the first paragraph of the story (incorporated spoiler).
Participants rated each story for enjoyment on a scale of 1 to 10.
The result was counterintuitive. For all three types of stories, subjects gave higher ratings for externally spoiled stories than for the unspoiled stories. Interestingly, incorporating the spoiler in the opening paragraph did not raise enjoyment. In those cases, the enjoyment was the same as for the unspoiled stories.
Given these results, will I be less careful about avoiding spoilers? Probably not. The enjoyment rating used in this experiment was a coarse measure, and I don't think it quite captures the delightful surprise of a good twist ending. You might indeed enjoy the story better overall the second time, when you have a better idea of what to look for and aren't distracted by curiosity, but you can only be surprised once. For me at least, that first naive read is still worth protecting. On the other hand, if a story is accidentally spoiled for me, I probably won't feel quite as gypped as I would have before. And the does change my intuitions about what makes a story enjoyable.
Finally, It's interesting that the external spoiler increased enjoyment, while the incorporated spoilers did not. The researchers suggested that this was because an incorporated spoiler led the reader to believe there was still more to the story that the author would reveal later. So maybe readers weredisappointed when they found out that there actually wasn't anything more, or perhaps the external spoiler allowed the reader to relax and enjoy the story without constantly thinking ahead.
More on this next week, but for now, what do you think? Do you avoid spoilers?

Cowles had some advice useful to both reporters and consumers. Ask questions about exactly how the money will be used. "Is the answer precise, or is it meant to appeal to the emotions?" he asked.
Press for a precise answer, then give with confidence. Cowles hopes Minnesotans remember that "we're all sort of driven by what's on page one today. Eventually, those stories go to page two. But these families have needs over the long term."

Well I own the S & W 15/22. Of course it made the Feinstein list, not sure about the Ruger.
The Ruger is so overpriced currently I wouldn't even look twice at one. It's a basic $199 gun that people are asking ridiculous prices for these days. The MP is still roughly what it was before. I have a MP and it's a great rifle. My wife and daughters will expend as many rounds of .22 as I take with me to the range with it. Add a cheapo BSA red dot and it's a good looking tactical 22 to play with
I had thought about a 10/22 but the thing to me was, it seems that everyone buys it for nothing more than the receiver and swap all the other parts out for something better. I don't want to pay for something I'm going to disassemble and replace everything on. Seems like a waste of the money spent to buy something with the intention to chip away all the factory parts for aftermarket stuff. Whereas the MP comes with just about all you could want.
A good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite point in the future.
- General George Patton Jr
Look at the old Remington 512 Sportsmaster. It's a robust, great .22 bolt action. Tube fed magazine holds 14 rounds of .22lr and it will feed all .22 except .22mag. My father has one from the 60's and it runs like a freight train. I think they go for less than $300 on the open market. My buddies father has one too and it runs great. I also own an M&P 15-22, but being in NY you prob don't have that option.
Interesting. I'm not familiar with the 550. Is it similar to the 512?

Temple's New to Practice Program - page 12
Hi. I applied for Temple's New to Practice Program a few weeks ago and just received word that my initial application was accepted. In the FAQ's, it says that applicants will have to take competency... Read More
0May 1, '13 by jcumermaHey guys,
Just wanted to leave some information for future applicants to Temple's N2P Program.
Everything on this thread has been accurate so far as to the process you go through - invitation to take the two tests (pre-interview). One is general med/surg and another is pharmacology - all very basic questions and you should be fine fresh out of nursing school. If not, study a bit and maybe have a friend sit down to make sure you're good. It's online so..google is available as it is in the real world.
After you nail the tests, follow up with them and let them know you've completed them. They will call back after that and schedule you for a panel interview. Mine was with 5 nurse managers from the hospital and they were all VERY nice, talkative, encouraging, etc. They were laughing and joking a lot of the time, but it was excellent because they also knew when to be focused and ask me the questions they needed to ask (why nursing, what areas do you like, resume review/job history, tell us about yourself, how would you handle a patient refusing meds, how would you handle a difficult co-worker, etc). I was nervous because it was a panel, but remember - we are new grads so they are only going to ask general, basic interview questions. Be honest, remember SAFETY and COMMUNICATION are big factors for resolving conflicts and safety is always top priority.
Other tips for the interview - read a bit about the hospital on their website to know why you would want to work there. Think about the units you'd like to work in and be ready to answer why that area of nursing. Be flexible, this will make you seem easy to place and if you want a job in this tough market, just be flexible when they ask things like "day shift or night shift?". Make sure you make eye contact with everyone in the room while you're talking and smile/relax as I'm sure they will be. Show how excited you are to work as a nurse and give excellent, safe care in an environment where you can constantly learn . Last tip is to have questions prepared for them, as this makes you seem very prepared - what's the nurse/patient ratio, what type of minorities are common at Temple, how long is the orientation and does it include didactic parts separate from clinical or is it separated in different days?
Hope all of this helps guys. Good luck and be persistent (but not pushy/annoying) and follow up! Be sure to ask them for their names, shake all of their hands to seem professional, and smile smile smile . Cheers!
0May 11, '13 by dstmoonI was told they were to decide by Friday the 10th. I still haven't heard anything, either way. They said they would keep me posted, so I assumed I would hear either way. The good thing, I am still in the running; the bad thing, I am going crazy. Has anyone else heard anything?
0May 17, '13 by punchie527Hello All,
I tested and interviewed in late April and just received a call on Wednesday with an offer. You should all hear something soon.
Good luck!!

Buys U.K. e-mail consultancy and opens London office.
Online marketing company Lyris has acquired U.K-based email marketing agency Facultas and will open a new office in London.
Facultus has been a Lyris partner for five years and Lyris officials said the two companies are already significantly intertwined. They noted a number of Facultas customers, including British Museum, Hand Picked Hotels and Kitbag.com, currently use Lyris's e-mail marketing solutions. Lyris, formerly known as J.L. Halsey, provides hosted and installed software for the creation of landing pages, Web site optimization and pay-per-click campaign management. Its clients include Nokia, American Apparel, Nvidia, and NBC Universal.
Lyris U.K. sales director Donna McNicholas will lead the London sales team, and Facultus's former managing director and owner, Andrew Robinson, will serve as Lyris's director of international professional services. In announcing the deal, Lyris said its "global expansion is in direct response to marketers� demand for easy-to-use solutions that allow them to successfully create, manage and measure e-mail, social and mobile campaigns all with the technology and services of one company."
Terms of the acquisition were not revealed. Brian Bailard, global head of sales for Lyris, who was involved in the deal, said the Facultus team's knowledge about Lyris technology will bolster its growth in the "underserved" U.K. market. "Their team knows our technology as well as we know it here," Bailard said. "They know our customers inside and out, but they never really invested on the sales side of the equation."
Lyris' last acquisition (as J.L. Halsey) was of Web analytics firm ClickTracks in 2006. "There have been a few acquisitions over the years which helped us build out Lyris HQ," said Lyris Communications Director Erick Mott. "The previous acquisitions were more technology oriented. This is more of an expansion of talent, region and domain expertise."
The officials said the company is expanding its office space and hiring new staff. "No one loves a recession but this recession is very favorable to digital marketing," commented Bailard.

Philo, species ID needed
Short history.
99% certain I got this plant from Black Jungle, in the 90's.
Back then, BJ mostly sold small, terrarium plants in 2.5" pots.
It once had a tag, but I never could read the name..the lettering eventually faded, so it was tossed.
I left in soil, but after two or so years it didn't send out one leaf. It was then I decided to place in water.
Over time, its leaves never grew larger than an inch. Ever. But, the plant itself grew.
After reading Elkay's post on Philos, I decided to look at mine. lol.
That's when I decided to snap a pic of this unknown species Philo, to see if someone could make an ID.
Pic taken today, 4/22/12
As I said, leaves never grew over an inch.
Today, I noticed some leaves were three times their normal size.
It might have been fertilized twice over the years. Last month I added a little Superthrive, but don't know if that's the reason some leaves are bigger. This is a first.
I'm sure it's been ST'd before, but leaves remained the same size.
Water is changed once a week. Philo has been in the same spot over the years..only difference is, when I changed from soil to water, the container was smaller. Actually, a cup, lol.
Leaves have a slight siliver hue.
Anyone know what species my Philo is? I've Googed Philo, miniatures, dwarf, and terrarium, but can't find a pic that resembles this guy.
Thanks, Toni
Hi Susan,
Yep, it is wild looking, lol.
When I first purchased it, I didn't think it'd get any larger than 10" considering the nursery specialized in small, terrarium plants.
Now that it's older, it looks like it's forming a trunk.
It might look neater if potted and re-pruned.
Hopefully, someone will be able to ID.
I'd post on the ARoid Forum, but very few people go there. lol.
Toni, your Mr. Mystery Phil looks just like my failure-to-thrive P. erubescens, only green. However, remembering what it looked like when I bought it (before numerous winters in a cold, dim, PNW cabin), I have a difficult time imagining it sold as a terrarium plant! Does it have a strong odor when you prune it?
I don't know what to do to turn it around... maybe another summer outdoors will help... what have you tried with that particular Phil?
Hi Gravy,
You think my Mystery Philo looks like P. erubescens?
I thought Erubescens had reddish, 5"+ leaves???
Why do you say your Philo was a failure to thrive?
Why do you have a difficult time imagining Mystery Philo as a terrarium plant?
No, never noticed a scent when clipped. Especially a bad odor.
Gravy, to be honest, I haven't done much w/this Philo.
Mystery was originally in soil. After some time passed, it didn't do well. I assumed it needed more humidity so placed in a terrarium. A couple wks later leaves looked like they had mites, thought the heck with it, so it went in water.
Leaves were always small, 'under 1"', silvery-green. The other day while browsing Philos, I noticed some foliage had grown 2-3 times larger.
After all these years...............??
I don't know how to shape it. Now that it's grown, what looks like bark, 'in the water,' I'm really baffled.
I'm going to write to BJ where it was purchased..by some miracle, one of the two owners might recall its type.
Anyway, what's going on w/your Philo? Toni
Susan, I went to Black Jungle, but can't find an email address..
Susan, I don't plan on repotting. It's been in water so long, it's staying there..lol.
I spent an hour last night looking at different Philos. There's one called P. Wend Imbe. It 'might' be my Mystery Philo. Not certain.
Marj, thanks.
Recently, I've been adding tags to new and old plants. I keep journals. In each yearly journal I write down, name of plant, where and date purchased.
Problem is years of old journals were in the basement. We had a flood, and they were ruined.
But my goal is to tag every plant..if possible..lol

MENDENHALL, Miss. — Authorities say they are investigating the apparent suicide of a state legislator in Mississippi.
Simpson County Sheriff Kenneth Lewis tells WLOX that Rep. Jessica Upshaw appeared to have shot herself in the head at a home in Mendenhall on Sunday. The town is about 30 miles southeast of Jackson, the state capital. She was 53.
The sheriff told The Clarion-Ledger that Upshaw was found at the home of former state Rep. Clint Rotenberry. He has not been arrested.
Upshaw was an attorney who had been a lawmaker since 2004. She was a Republican from Diamondhead along the state's coast. Mendenhall is about 110 miles away from her hometown.
The sheriff did not return a phone call from The Associated Press. Rotenberry did not answer his phone.
