Danziger way off the mark
Referencing the Danziger cartoon in the Jan. 17 Times Argus, Danziger got it totally wrong. The National Rifle Association does not support violent shooting video games. These games are thought by many to be one of the root causes of recent mass shootings. You should not have published something so wrong from the truth. I am a part of the NRA and I am not a thug and I do not approve of violent shooting video games for anyone.
The National Rifle Association has a 140-year record of patriotic service to our country. I have long supported the NRA and your paper, but your paper needs to get its facts straight.

A bill requiring first and second degree murderers to serve at least half their prison sentences before being eligible for parole passed the Rhode Island Senate unanimously on Tuesday evening.
Currently murderers are eligible for parole after serving only a third of their sentence. This factor came to light when Alfred Brissette, a man accused of killing a woman for the "thrill of the kill" was approved for parole after serving only 13-years on a more than 30 year sentence.
The bill, proposed by Senator Lou Raptakis, will now move on the Rhode Island House of Representatives.
"The case of Alfred Brissette is just one example of a convicted murderer being released prior to serving even half of the imposed sentence," said Raptakis. "This bill is about proper justice and truth in sentencing. The public expects that those convicted of such a violent crime as murder should do their time."

More reviews by HereKittyKitty
I LOVE THIS COLOR!!!! I know I'm shouting, but I cannot say enough good things about this red. It's not to dark, not to light, so you can wear it year-round. I've also found that it stains my fingers much less than other reds I have tried. The application is excellent, but sometimes halfway through a bottle (yes, I've gone through several bottles) I usually have to add a few drops of polish thinner to keep using it. Otherwise, it tends to get really thick and gloopy.
My boyfriend calls this my sexy nail polish, I have to agree. It makes me feel sexy, and I definitely think it has a vintage pin-up feel.
Overall: My favorite color of all time. I wear this at least once a month. Good red for everyday.

My HG used to be Kennebunk-Port. Then, one very sad day, I opened a new bottle to see that it just wasn't the same. Somewhere along the same time they created the new Pro brush, Kennebunk-Port changed. It seemed...brighter or something. Not the deep creamy red that I'd adored.
This isn't my old HG, but it's pretty darn close and I love it. WIll definitely repurchase.
If you liked the old Kennebunk-Port, you'll like this!
The most perfect red out there. Not too 'screamy' nor too dark. Gives me perfect retro pin-up red nails. Love it!
My HG red polish!! I keep staring at my toes when I have this as a pedi...lol. OPI polish is the best..hands down. (hehe)
This is absolutely without a doubt my perfect red! This creamy polish is exactly what I have been looking for- midtone, creamy, true red. I use this color often, especially on my toes. It is completely opaque and dense in 2 coats. One of my Top 5 OPI.
This is a gorgeous, true-red creme. It doesn't lean orange or fuschia, it reads as true red (at least against my skin tone). Some may feel that it's not a terribly unique shade, but I think that it's pretty. I think the formulation is top-notch: 5 (five) days wear, and no chips at all---gorgeous! I am getting used to the pro-wide brush. I bought this after hearing about it on the nail board and I am glad that I did! I would definitely repurchase this!
I love red nailpolish, and I absolutely love OPI, so I thought I would love this. It's not a bad nailpolish...in fact, on the right skintone it would look amazing. However, this is more of a blue-red suited for cool-toned people, and I have a warm skintone. It doesn't look bad or anything, but I wanted something more orangey red. The staying power is amazing though...it's been almost a week, and I've had no chips except a teeny tiny one on my middle finger (but probably because I was trying to pick something apart lol)
This is my HG red nail polish. It's truly *my* red...I'm a PPP-cool toned but I can lean neutral. I've been looking for a glamorous, sexy red polish and this is it! OPI polishes are my favorite...they have a huge range of colors, innovative names and fun collections. For the most part, their application and wear is great! Price is, of course, a little pricey ($8.50 here) but you can cut costs by ordering from 8ty8beauty.com, head2toebeauty.com, etc. On my skin, Vodka & Caviar is nearly a true red...it looks a bit darker on my tips. It has a blue based quality. The color tried a bit flat so I used Out the Door top coat and now the color is so glossy! I recommend this polish to anyone. Probably my favorite polish I own--and I own a lot!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had this sitting in my stash for months and wish I had decided to do a red mani sooner!! This is a beautiful, true red with a shiny, jelly finish. I used 2 coats so I could still get the jelly effect but I'm sure with 3-4 coats you could get it to be more opaque and without losing the glossy texture. This will be my "go to" red from now on!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the best red ever, that's the bottom line.
I think it looks classy and just gorgeous. It's a true red, with no orange undertones, but also it doesn't have too much blue in it. I think it looks great with a large range of skin tones, so if you are lost about what red to use pick this one it's a safe bet!

A bit pricey, but really cute. Have only had it for a week. The pink edge fabric is a swede like feel, so I hope it cleans well.The rest is a cotton feel. Makes my daughter's room just the way she wanted it to. With pink accessories the zebra really pops!
great comforter, my daughter wanted to change her room to zebra and pink,so happy to find these two things together
I would not recommend this comforter to anyone. It has come apart everywhere!! Very poor Quality for the money that I spent. Very disappointed.
This bedding set is amazing! It is great for sleeping and decoration. It is very comfortable and great for a girl's room. This product is totally worth 5 stars.
Very disappointing. My daughter adored the pattern, I washed the blanket according to directions, and the black ran onto the pink. Overstock sent me a second blanket to replace the supposed product failure, but that one ran worse than the first, although I was even more careful. Not a cheap price, but a cheap piece, for sure.
The set was just like the picture. My daughter just loves it

Enter your email to get gardening tips and exclusive offers!
The Worm Factory 360 composting bin is a system of stackable trays that allows worms to transform your kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Each tray is fitted with a grid bottom through which worms may travel upward to reach kitchen scraps and process them into usable compost. Add bedding, worms, and kitchen scraps to the first tray, and when the scraps are fully composted, simply stack a new tray on top. Worms will travel from tray to tray to compost your kitchen waste, leaving behind nutritious castings and a moisture called, "worm tea," which may be harvested via the spigot and used as an organic liquid fertilizer. With a thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory 360 increases the composting speed. Air enters on all four sides of the base exposing the bottom to a free flow of fresh air. Compost creates heat and gases that rise through the system and exit out of the four sides of the lid. By using worms and this thermo siphon design you can now produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. This flow of fresh air also means that the Worm Factory 360 is odorless, making it great for use indoors so that you can compost all year long. An instructional DVD and accessory kit provides you with everything you need to make sure your worm composter is operating efficiently.

Visitors to the 2013 N.C. State Fair can expect to find a mix of old and new when it comes to grounds entertainment and activities.
New musical acts, an elf-like performer who rolls around the grounds on a giant open wheel, high-flying acrobats, a fire-safety show with clowns, a dog show and a pedal-propelled structure featuring circus-like aerialists will join ever-popular acts such as the racing pigs, a magician and a walking, talking robot.
All grounds entertainment is free with paid admission.
The Gantry Bike by Cirque Mechanics makes its debut at the State Fair and will likely attract many onlookers with its tall, pedal-powered mechanical structure that serves as a kind of stage. Aerialists dangle overhead from the structure, spinning and twirling as the whole contraption moves around between Gate 11 and Dorton Arena at noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
It won't be the only oversized rolling attraction or aerial show joining the entertainment lineup. The Wacky Wheeler is a super-sized open wheel that provides transportation for its entertaining rider, Melvin. Honking horns and colorful flags make the Wacky Wheeler nearly impossible to miss. Look for it near the Scott Building at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Keeping your attention skyward, Hansen's Spectacular Acrobatic Sensations is a family affair including the youngest of Shane and Alecia Michelle Hansen's three children, 3-year-old Ella. This thrilling show features high-speed juggling, acrobatic feats on a trampoline and high-flying performances on the 30-foot-tall cloud swing by Alecia Michelle. The family performs beside the FFA Children's Barn at noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The high-flying tricks continue with the K-9s in Flight dog show. This high-energy show features rescued dogs showing off their super-athletic jumping skills and in hot pursuit of Frisbees. The dogs jump, run and spring off the back of trainer John Misita. The dogs will also showcase K-9 Dock Diving. Be sure to catch these highly entertaining shows at 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. near Gate 9 and the racing pigs.
Karen Quest, billed as America's Funniest Cowgirl, will entertain visitors at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in Kiddieland. Quest combines roping skills and tricks with humor for an engaging all-ages show.
The State Fair has two stages featuring a variety of musical styles. Larry Cordle, a Nashville songwriter and recording artist, will perform on the Bluegrass Stage in Heritage Circle. His shows are at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Oct. 17 and 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Oct. 18-27. Diamond Creek, winner of the 2013 Got to Be NC Festival Bluegrass Competition, will perform at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Oct. 26-27.
The Kitchen Craft Waterfall Stage will feature several first-time acts, including Descendientes, Dimension and Flamasso Musical. Other performers include GrooveTown, Hicksboro Station and Larry Frick. Performances are held daily at 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 p.m., 3 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. In addition, there will be special performances on Military Day, Oct. 23.
Even with all the new entertainment planned, fairgoers will still find plenty of their favorites, including the racing pigs, Kenya Safari Acrobats, a magician, a one-man band and a BMX stunt show.
The N.C. State Fair runs Oct. 17-27 at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. Advance tickets are on sale now at www.ncstatefair.org. Advance tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for kids 6-12. Admission at the gate is $9 for adults and $4 for kids. Walk-up ticket sales began Oct. 3 in Burlington, Clayton, Chapel Hill, Durham, Wilson and Raleigh.

Computer Scientists Induce Schizophrenia in a Neural Network, Causing it to Make Ridiculous Claims
Researchers testing mental illness figured out how to induce schizophrenic symptoms in a computer, causing it to place itself at the center of crazy delusions, such as claiming responsibility for a terrorist bombing. The results bolster a hypothesis that claims faulty information processing can lead to schizophrenic symptoms.
Computer scientists at the University of Texas-Austin built a neural network called DISCERN, which is able to learn natural language. The humans taught it a series of simple stories, teaching it to store information as relationships between words and sentences — much the same way a person would learn a story.
Then they started again, but cranked up DISCERN's rate of learning — so it was assimilating words at a faster rate, and it was not ignoring as much noise in the data.
Some mental health experts believe schizophrenics cannot forget or ignore as much stimuli as they should, which makes it difficult to synthesize and process the correct information. This "hyperlearning" phenomenon causes schizophrenics to lose connections among individual stories, losing the distinction between reality and illusion. Dopamine is a key factor in the process of understanding and differentiating experiences.
Telling the computer to "forget less" was akin to flooding the system with dopamine, confounding its ability to discern relationships between words, sentences and events, according to a news release from UT.
"DISCERN began putting itself at the center of fantastical, delusional stories that incorporated elements from other stories it had been told to recall," according to the news release. In one answer, it claimed responsibility for a terrorist bombing.
The experiment doesn't prove the hyperlearning hypothesis, but it does lend it additional credence, according to the researchers, who published their crazed computer findings in the journal Biological Psychiatry. It also shows that neural networks can be a useful analogue for the information-processing centers of the brain, according to graduate student Uli Grasemann, who participated in the research.
"We have so much more control over neural networks than we could ever have over human subjects," he said. "The hope is that this kind of modeling will help clinical research."

Ridiculous claims you say? Listen to this...
It is proven that Schizophrenia is brought about by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Over correct for this and you cause cause another problem, Parkinson's.
Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. The most interesting fact about our dreams is that we can transform ourselves into different things and different people (or at least I can). We can go from walking to flying, from being the neighbors cat to transforming ourselves into a talking tree.
The one point that gets overlooked is the fact that none of it really exist. There is no one else in our dreams but our own minds. Everything is created in our brain and hence we can easily transform ourselves into anything and everything that is there and all it makes perfect sense. All our multiple personalities, all our levels of consciousness are able to interact with each other, seamlessly.
If the only person in your dreams is you and a mirror, then then you can't understand what I'm talking about. For the rest of you, it means you are Schizophrenic, at least in your sleep.
Somehow, this dream state doesn't end for those suffering from the disease. For the rest of us, that voice in our head answers right away with same voice each time. The 'autonomous' us directs the conscious us with a single thought, a single voice.
So unless you have the same dream over and over again and it is only you and a mirror, then you now have an insight and 'my' understand what it means to be Schizophrenic.
How's that for delusional?!
So we are now teaching computers how to lie...or how to become a psycho. Good that's what we need:-) Fascinating really but makes you wonder if we are worrying too much about biological outbreaks and not enough about technological outbreaks. Create a virus and accidentally let that loose into the Internet which in turn causes the Internet to become "crazy". Great idea for a movie maybe.
"The one point that gets overlooked is the fact that none of it really exists. There is no one else in our dreams but our own minds. Everything is created in our brain and hence we can easily transform ourselves into anything and everything that is there and all it makes perfect sense."
This is also true in what you believe to be reality, which is why it can also be argued to be an illusion. Your sense of reality is created within your brain, despite the perception that it is a cause of external stimuli. Reality might very well be external to you, but it is impossible to determine that due to your whole perception of reality, even the notion of your own brain, coming from within what you believe to be your brain. In essence, it is impossible to prove even your own physical existence.
And since we all believe there to be other people in our reality, maybe we are all just schizophrenic.
I really seriously doubt that this neural network has any major degree of parallels to the human brain -- other than simulating neuron function, and has little in common with the actual human disorder known as schizophrenia.
The method listed on the research results state: "For this study, DISCERN learned sets of autobiographical and impersonal crime stories with associated emotion coding".
Associated emotion coding? That is a bit vague. It would be nice to see the technical specs and requirements that the system was built on. All I see here are abstract specs and requirements.
Good story though PopSci, way to keep an eye out.
@SolomonSinclair, I agree with you. This study is more a way of saying how much can we make randomness look like reality.
@visualize, great follow up. The one thing I (or any of my personalities) can't do while dreaming is feel pain. That's how I know things are real.
@All4it Consider yourself lucky, or just unaware. I feel pain in my dreams, as most people do. There is no reason that you shouldn't feel pain in your dreams, as pain is just a brain function. If there can be experiences of pleasure, sexual fantasies, then there can also be experiences of pain, which there are for most people.
what if the only reason why its so hard to find other living beings in this universe is because the creators of this simulation made it that way. and in the "real" world planets full of life exist on every corner. sort of like that movie the 13th floor were reality is undetectable to the naked eye.
@visualize "There is no reason that you shouldn't feel pain in your dreams, as pain is just a brain function."
Only certain parts of your brain are active during dreams. While I agree it may be possible to feel pain (I know I have felt emotional pain during a bad dream), there is a potential reason why you wouldn't feel real physical pain.
@SolomonSinclair "I really seriously doubt that this neural network has any major degree of parallels to the human brain -- other than simulating neuron function, and has little in common with the actual human disorder known as schizophrenia."
Obviously neural networks are just a model. However, the nodes in these network are actually very complex and can replicate many of the functional aspects of neurons. The network architecture can also be set up to represent the architecture of neurons communicating in the brain. When put together, network behavior emerges that in many cases closely resembles higher brain function. This doesn't prove that schizophrenia is caused by such overlearning, but it definitely lends it credence. Also, what do you mean by technical specs? This is software, not hardware, and surely runs on a computing cluster of some sort.
@All4it You seem to think Schizophrenia and Dissociative Identity disorder (multiple personalities) are the same thing. It has nothing to do with a "single voice". Schizophrenics effectively can't tell what is real and not real. And don't give me some abstract crap like @visualize would say about how we don't know if this is reality, it's all in our minds, etc. That is a cop out.
What it comes down to is this interesting neural network model replicated, at least on some level, the cognitive effects of schizophrenia with a simple functional abnormality. Very cool stuff.
So, the next big thing for hackers is to copy the coding and then apply it to either one super computer or a cloud of computers, making them crazy?
What is the potential for a crazy-virus that doesn't necessarily destroy your computer, as much as it just turns it into a raving lunatic?

Below is a video that I recorded, sorry about the shoddy quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rEkxYGEuY This is merely an experiment to see how ability changes on Pokemon that have already set stats. This could work anywhere within the game, it will not work for gift Pokemon for the fact that you get it right away, nor will it work for Wild Pokemon since their stats will never stick, since well... they're wild. 0:00 Game is booted. 0:40 I bring up the Shadow Monitor, note that Rhydon has been seen already, as with Moltres, but not Greevil's other Pokemon, since I have lost on purpose. This means that Rhydon's stats are set and will always remain the same if I reload. 1:15 Lugia battle does not occur since I stole it already. 1:58 Manectric used Thunderbolt on Moltres, Rhydon has 2 Abilities, Lightningrod and Rock Head, since T-bolt did not get redirected to Rhydon, his ability now is Rock Head. 2:07 Game Reset 3:22 The same Rhydon again. 3:38 Manectric used Thunderbolt! Rhydon's Lightningrod took the attack?! Isn't this the same Rhydon? I believe that this glitch happens the same way how ability changes when you Pal Park Pokemon, if they evolve, their ability can change. Likewise, this is only reliable for Pokemon that can reach its final forms in 3rd Gen, so that their abilities can stay intact for 4th Gen. This can be especially helpful for Pokemon with a certain preferred ability and have an XD Move, such Rapidash, Dodrio, or Marowak. Aside from Greevil's Pokemon, if you want the Pokemon to have the chance to change its ability, Miror B. will have to have procession of it. This is only a guess, but I'm guessing this "glitch" occurs since for whatever reason, Genius Senority decide to put Ability Generation as a separate RNG as oppose to attach to the Pokemon's PID.
This is good information---however it is also worth noting that you can change the ability of a pokemon without ever touching the PID. In that sense it's not so much of a glitch, since it works that way in the cart games as well (to paraphrase a discussion I had with mingot on irc: "you can hack a wondertomb, and get the ability change without ever touching the PID.") Nature and gender are read directly from the PID; ability is not, which is why the "glitch" as you put it occurs. As a side question, did you catch the rhydon twice to check to make sure its stats were the same both times?
If you have played Pokemon XD, you will know that once you see a Shadow Pokemon, and it records its entry in the Shadow Monitor, it is set in stone even if you see it again. On the contrary, ability DOES play into the PID. The PID number involves everything, IVs, ability slots, gender, and nature. I'm testing this on Rapidash right now. Seeing how there are 4 Jolly Zapdos that knocked on my door the last 2 days.

The Super Freak Hunting Jacket keeps you fully protected and difficult to detect on long days in the field. Ultra-soft 100% polyester interlock fabric is treated with a durable water-repellent finish, which forces moisture to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric. ScentBlocker's revolutionary Trinity scent control technology adsorbs up to 40% more human odors than activated carbon, so you stay fresher longer. BodyLock technology strategically prevents easy escape of odor and forces it through the scent-adsorbing filter at the waist to allow maximum adsorption. An innovative slit in the back allows for easy attachment and concealment of your safety harness. The Quick Draw Cinch fit system at the chest eliminates excess fabric from hanging in the way of your bow draw to ensure an uninhibited shot. The Super Freak Hunting Jacket features a high mock-neck collar, full-length front zipper, half-elastic drawcord waist, two snap-closed chest pockets, and two zip-secure hand pockets. System Layer 3. Imported.

You're at the market and in need of bread. You see a couple of loaves; one is marked "artisan" and the other isn't. Which do you choose?
There was a time when the term "artisan" meant something. When it indicated a product made with care; with love; with the knowledge of a craftsperson. Unfortunately in the age of food marketing, the word has lost its value.
In France, they're serving up McBaguettes, that promise traditional loaves of French bread to customers—approved by a real French baker at that. Back in the U.S., Dominos Pizza makes artisan-style crust. Just like you'd find in Italy of course. In need of a hearty, homemade soup? Look for the Artisan line by Campbell's. The word artisan is everywhere, and to a locavore and people who care about real food, such corporate efforts are disheartening; a disingenuous attempt at capitalizing on a growing trend.
By definition, an artisan is:
1 : a worker who practices a trade or handicraft : craftsperson
2 : one that produces something (as cheese or wine) in limited quantities often using traditional methods
Craftsmanship is a good thing. Craftsmanship used to sell a mass-marketed product is quite another, removing us from the definition of the word entirely.
The beauty of the artisan movement is that there has been a resurgence in public demand for handmade, crafted products, particularly when it comes to food—an appreciation for products that are made with not only love.
Despite our national addiction to fast food, somewhere along the line, many of us have proclaimed a desire to have better and more authentic food. The processed food world was of course listening, and has taken the word for its own.
In the western world—a land of consumption—the choices available to us, particularly when it comes to food, are overwhelming. Go down a grocery aisle and count the number of cereals you can buy. As consumers we want to be able to make purchasing decisions based on our values, but we live fast paced lifestyles, so we want that choice to be easy too. What do we do? We turn to labels. We start to gravitate towards things like "organic" "traditional" and "artisan" because at their core, they mean something. Until they don't.
The food industry is a billion dollar business, one that puts profit over public health. If an overly processed pizza from a chain restaurant is labeled "artisan" we have to question what it means.
Good food from good places shouldn't need a label, but we live in a world where we need guidance and direction. However, there is as much personal responsibility as there is corporate, and while we may want big food business to get a slap on the wrist and change their ways, while we wait, we must do the same.
Don't Blindly Consume
Know the brands, the ingredients and the people. We're quick to judge a book by its cover when it comes to food, but just because it says "organic" and "artisan" on the label does not mean that it came from a bucolic pasture where all of the workers were well treated. Take the time to ask yourself what those labels really mean. Are they purely superficial marketing tactics or do they represent something real? Always make sure to look at the ingredients, and go by the rule of "if your grandmother doesn't know what it is, don't buy it." You can't always ensure that ingredients like flours and sugars are organic and locally sourced, but you can ensure that you are eating something that's free of chemicals and processed compounds.
Ask Questions
You don't have to be at farmers market to ask questions about what you're eating. Engage the person working at the grocery store as well. Getting them talking about what they're selling is as good for them as it is for you.
Know Who You Are Buying From
If you are in an economic position to be selective about what you eat, then you have an obligation to do so. Voting with your fork means putting your money into places that you know exactly where it's going. That means that your local baker doesn't need an artisan label on his bread – you know that he made it and that he is committed to using the best ingredients. Get to know your baker and ask where their ingredients come from, how they make their bread and why they think it's important to buy local. If you don't ask, you won't learn.

Thank you for writing this enlightening piece! As a college student, I do look for cheaper food options, but I still try to stay conscious of distorted marketing schemes. One mobile application I love is called GoPure. It makes it easy to find healthy, delicious, and sustainably-sourced food on the go. The user is able to view the quality of the food at restaurants and their overall sustainable practices with an unprecedented level of transparency! You should check it out!
Lindsey - thanks for reading! Sounds like a cool app, will definitely check it out. It's always good to have help when looking for what's good and what isn't :)

RESTORATION AGRICULTURE by Mark Shepard
What is restored?
The eroding and knackered farm land.
Restored to what?
To a close parallel to the natural oak savannah that was there before agriculture arived.
How is this productive ?
By using higher yielding versions of savannah species, like chestnut, hazelnut, grapes, apples, currants, cattle, pigs, hens, turkeys, fungi, flowers, bees, wildlife and plenty more, all in an integrated polyculture.
Mark tells how he produces more food and makes more profit per acre, almost without inputs, than the large scale arable farmers that are his neighbours - and at the same time hes making a sustainable and beautiful landscape.
Here's a link to Mark on Youtube [ if youve done a permaculture course start about 60 mins in]:

I have now purchased a few acres to be a home to my own-root orchard, plant breeding trial ground, and bare-root nursery production area.
The Trinity Farm nursery site will continue to be the selling area until all the stocks are moved and replanted, which will be a lengthy business. So stock levels will be low this winter to minimise the number of plants to move. Its a good idea therefore to get your order in early to avoid sold outs.
Sadly Hugh Ermen died peacefully at Canterbury in December 2009, after suffering declining health for the last few years.
Many people remember him as a horticulturalist, researcher and teacher. During the course of his career he acquired several honours, entitling him to a string of letters after his name, but he never used them, and his medals stayed in their box.
I was put in contact with Hugh by Harry Baker of the RHS, when I was looking around for information on own-root trees. And I received the information from Hugh in abundance. His letters were thick wodges of foolscap, often with drawings, and raising technical points that I had to ask Hugh to explain, which he did with another letter, and so the cycle continued. Two years later I used Hugh's own-root work to form the basis of the Coppice Orchard project, which enabled me to gain a Permaculture Diploma, and without Hughs work and kindness that would not have happened.
In his later years Hugh concentrated on apple breeding, and not having any land he crammed the back garden of his semi with hundreds of new varieties, grafting dozens onto each M27 rootstock for quick results. He was very successful, and part of Hugh's legacy is his list of introductions: Red Devil, Wintergem, Scrumptious, Herefordshire Russet, Limelight, Cobra and the crabapples Nancy and Laura - the latter named after his wife.
Laura Ermen will continue some of Hugh's projects, wind up others- 'I'll be glad to get at least some of the garden back' she says.
Farewell Hugh - teacher and friend - we need more like you.
Phil Corbett.

I set up Cool Temperate in 1996 to meet two main needs.
Since the early 1980's I had been growing organic fruit and vegetables commercially on small parcels of rented land around the city of Nottingham, UK.
During this time several ideas for horticultural research occurred to me, but I never had enough land or time to follow them through. Anyone trying to supply all year round veg doesn't have time for much else !
Later I got involved in designing orchards and forest gardens and other permaculture plots. I realised that there wasn't a good individual nursery where the wide range of plants needed could be bought from, and who could give good organic advice.
So I set up Cool Temperate as a bare root nursery to both provide myself with an income during the winter months, leaving me mostly free during the summer for research work, and also to fill this gap in the market.
This has enabled me to pursue a few new developments, notably the Own Root Fruit Tree project and the Coppice Orchard.
Cool Temperate isn't just me. There are several keen volunteers involved, the occasional part time paid worker, and we are part of the Permaculture Apprenticeships scheme, whereby permaculture graduates can gain experience.
I also work regularly with architects, landscapers, designers and growers needing both horticultural and environmental input.
The nursery has created a need for large quantities of organic compost. To meet this end I first devised the "Compost Hedge" which has spread out to become the "Compost Coppice" which will be planted on a large scale when i get a new site. This will produce compost from shredded fast growing plant species, fed sustainably by vigorous perennial nitrogen fixing plants.
The Name "Cool Temperate" is the ecological term for the vegetation zone that most of the UK lies in. It is the area of deciduous forest that runs across Europe. To the south is the "Warm Temperate" or Mediterranean zone, and to the north is the "Boreal" or coniferous forest zone.

Clayton News Daily
With Atlanta Motor Speedway hosting the Asphalt Nationals this fall, Ed Clark wanted to try something new.
So the AMS general manager bought himself a new legends car to race in the weekly Thursday Thunder racing series.
It has been the right move as Clark entered Thursday's double features as the Masters division points leader.
"I think I was a little better prepared this year," Clark said. "I've had some good luck and some good draws. It has been a fun and pretty special summer."
With a log-jam at the top of the points standings, Clark is hoping to hang on another week to take his first legends car race title.
But the racing veteran knows it will be tough with competition from Skip Nichols and Terry Mathis in his rearview.
"This is one of the most exciting finishes we are going to have in the division," said Nichols, who is Thursday Thunder's all-time winningest driver.
Last season, Nichols finished runner-up to Cummings' Terry Mathis by two points in the division.
Doug Stevens was in charge of the setup for Clark's car. Stevens, who occasionally races at Thursday Thunder, said the new car has been a good fit for Clark.
"I think he really likes it," Stevens said. "This year's Masters is really tight. It is going to be really exciting to see how it unfolds."
Since Stevens does the setup for most of the drivers in the division, he calls it a win-win situation for himself.
"I'm very pleased at how this is going," Stevens said. "It is a great situation for me."
As Clark spends his days preparing the track for its big showcase NASCAR race Labor Day weekend, he said racing relieves the stress.
"I've got to be at the track anyway for this, so I might as well race," Clark said. "I have a good team around me so they allow me to get out on the track. As much as I like the racing aspect of it, it is just the camaraderie of the drivers in the garage that is just as fun."
And winning a points championship would add to the excitement.

Wiring harness
Can any one tell me where i can get a wiring diagram/schmetaic downloadable/printable/pdf file for free for a 1982 to 1987 GM truck thanks MIKE
12-08-2008, 05:07 AM #2best thing i can offer here isn't free, the chilton books have some pretty good schematics in them but you have to buy them unless you happen to have an auto parts store local to you that happens to have one of those books on the shelf with the plastic off of it already , if so you can go there and look at the book if they'll let you. that's how my local Advance lets me do when I need things like that. if you have to have the info right there with you take a digital camera in with you and take a picture of the page with the schematic you need and then you can blow it up as you need it on your pc at home , (yeah i am cheap and i have thought this through already lol)

The South may enjoy and cook collards to death, but we weren't the first to bring them to the culinary stage. Collards have been eaten for thousands of years, and cultivated going as far back as ancient Greek civilization.
If you order "cooked greens," you are likely getting some of the tough, slightly bitter leaves in your bowl. Paired with some turnip and mustard greens, cooked collards round out many a Southern meal.
"Collards" is a corruption of the Anglo-Saxon term "coleworts" (or colewyrts), which means "cabbage plants." As a "headless" relative of cabbage, collards produce large, thick oval leaves that don't easily wilt and will survive for several days in your refrigerator. Age affects the texture, but not the flavor.
As a cooking ingredient, collard greens are very forgiving. Give them a quick sauté, or forget about them on the stove, and you probably won't be able to tell the difference. Collards are easy to select (look for firm, dark green leaves) and cut (roll the leaves like a cigar to chop). The flavor is somewhere between cabbage and the sweetness of kale. And collards are packed to the gills with nutrients, yet are low in calories and fat.
The trouble with greens is the addition of fatty smoked meats. They bring down the health value, but, oh, those meats make the greens taste so good.
Available year-round, Collards can be found in whole leaf form packed in crushed ice (keeps the leaves from wilting) or chopped and bagged. Plus they are quietly present as a side dish at barbecue and white tablecloth restaurants alike.
Expect to get a great side of collards nearly everywhere in town, from Bob's Barksdale Restaurant and the Four-Way Grill to Abysinnia and Hog & Hominy. Some have the noticeable tweak of vinegar, and some have a touch of fire, but all are worthy (and please don't let the pot likker go to waste — drink it up).
As with other staple ingredients that have traditionally been placed on the side, collards are finding a nice spotlight in the center of the plate. Lunchbox Eats adds them to its jicama vegetable slaw, which tops the fish tacos. And Get Fresh Memphis makes collard wraps which encase a savory nut filling or a tempeh and pico de gallo mixture.
It's almost Spring. It's a new year, and it's time to spruce up a time-honored staple. Cook your collards in some orange juice with raisins (see recipe link below). Replace your St. Patrick's day cabbage with a warm collard slaw. Go for a fine shred instead of big pieces. See if you like collards when they are still bright green from a short cooking time. Don't let this Southern staple become an afterthought. Put your collards at center stage.

Parmesan Collard Tops
Serves 2-4
1 bunch collard tops (tender small leaves and blossoms), washed
1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, sliced thin (optional)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
— Salt and pepper to taste
Bring 1½ quarts of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Have a large bowl with ice water ready.
Roughly chop collard tops (including stems). Blanch collard tops in boiling water until bright green and slightly tender (2 minutes). Remove collards from water and plunge in ice water. Drain and squeeze collards dry. Set aside.
Melt butter in same saucepan over medium heat. Sauté garlic until tender, but not brown (about 2 minutes). Add heavy cream and stir. Increase heat to medium-high and cook cream mixture until slightly thickened (2-3 minutes).
Pour cream mixture over collards. Toss with grated Parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (until cheese is melted). Sauce will not be thick — just tasty.

text: You know that feel-goody summer pop album you love to listen to over and over and over again? Maybe something along the lines of The Soft Bulletin or even Smile? Usually it's something that has an element of wispiness, something airy and hooky that seems to scream out, "Love the one you're with." Raleigh, North Carolina's Annuals add to the canon with the slightly schizophrenic Be He Me. Some song arrangements have a large, orchestrated feel to themlike the Arcade Fiery "Dry Clothes"but they gradually trade up immediate one-two pop punches for a more brooding, drawn-out approach, such as on the piano-driven "Father." At times this sounds a bit like what Bright Eyes has done over the past few years: extended numbers with appropriate screams at the appropriate times to convince us that this is important. But Annuals frontman Adam Baker is rather persuasive in his own wayhis tales of failed love and bumblebees and turtle-collecting with his brother are genuine-sounding, making Be He Me a believable, exuberant indie-pop debut.

Find a Doctor
Request an Appointment
The issue of second (or, sometimes, third or even fourth) opinions frequently comes up in my groups and individual conversations with women. There are several points in a breast cancer experience that especially stimulate this question, and it seems important to think carefully about the value of consulting with additional physicians.
First, two basic considerations if you find yourself thinking about finding another opinion. Will your insurance cover it and are there restrictions about whom you can see? Most insurance plans will pay for second opinions, but certainly it is important to confirm this--especially if you are having a third or fourth opinion and especially if you are hoping to meet with a doctor at a different institution. My basic advice about second opinions is this: If you find yourself wondering whether you should get one, the answer is probably "yes". You do not want to look back later and regret a missed opportunity.
When might it be smart to do this and where should you go?
This question sometimes arises shortly after a breast cancer diagnosis. If you are having trouble deciding about a mastectomy vs. a wide excision/lumpectomy/partial mastectomy (all those terms basically mean the same thing), talking with a second breast surgeon may help. It is really important, if you are planning a mastectomy, to at least meet with a plastic surgeon to hear about reconstruction options (and there will be later blogs about this). Even if you are pretty sure that you don't want reconstruction, go talk with a plastic surgeon about the choices. Again, the basic rule is that you don't want to look back later with regrets. If you think that you do want reconstruction, it is very important to consult with two plastic surgeons. This is actually the only breast cancer treatment choice when I think it is vital to speak with more than one doctor. The reason is that different plastic surgeons may very well have different opinions and suggestions. Each likely has her/his favored technique and will talk most about it. Your own body and any prior cancer treatments may limit these choices, but two plastic surgeons may well recommend two different reconstructions.
Another moment when a second opinion may seem sensible is if you find yourself in the gray area re needing chemotherapy. As cancer treatments are increasingly personalized and more is understood about tailoring treatments to specific cell and tumor types, there are still cases when the risk/benefit ratio of chemotherapy makes the decision tough. In Boston, there seem to be varying institutional philosophies about these unclear situations, and I suggest to women that they consult with a medical oncologist at more than one hospital.
Questions about second opinions also arise when women are being treated for Stage IV/metastatic breast cancer. While early breast cancers have fairly standard treatments, Stage IV cancers are managed in many different ways. This is a time when the "art of medicine" becomes as important as "the science of medicine", and women often benefit from talking with more than one doctor. It may be helpful to consider an additional consultation both at the the time of a diagnosis of metastatic disease as well as at various times when treatments must change.
How do you identify a good doctor for a second opinion? First, it is usually more helpful to meet with someone who practices in a different group or institution from your first or regular doctor. Second, it is important to meet with someone who is experienced in your particular situation. If a physician is especially busy and generally not taking new patients, it is still often possible to make an appointment for a second opinion because that is a one time appointment.
To repeat the rules: If you are wondering whether you should have a second opinion, you probably should. But, if it is people around you who are pushing you to see another or a different doctor, thank them for their concern, but make it clear that the decision is yours. You must do what feels right for you, not what pleases anyone else.

0 CommentsFan Photos with Kristen Stewart at the Sydney premiere of 'Snow White and The Huntsman'! Gorgeous!
Our lovely reader and friend, Jenna aka McVampy, went to the Snow White and The Huntsman premiere in Sydney, Australia! She took some gorgeous photos of her with Kristen and Chris Hemsworth. Here's her story!
30 CommentsAt Bondi Junction Westfield Event Cinemas I waited there all day and met some awesome people! Finally, at about 6.30 Kristen (and Chris and Rupert) turned up. Rupert didn't walk the white carpet.
While we were waiting around before Kristen had gotten there her security guard (not HBG) said that he would be walking the carpet with Kristen and she will have her own sharpie so don't worry about getting our own out. And I got talking to him and stuff for a little bit.
The whole white carpet was over 4 levels of the shopping centre from level 3 (ground level) all the way up to level 6 where the cinemas were.
I was on level 6 and watched what was going on on the ground level through the live feed on the big screens. She did press and signed stuff for fans then put her converse on and made her way up the escalators and along the white carpet up to level 6.
I got a prime spot at the end of one of the strips of white carpet.. she walked about a 25 metre walk straight towards me and my sign that said "KRISTEN! I FLEW FROM MELBOURNE TO SEE YOU!"
Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth Talk Kiss Scenes and 'Fifty Shades'
Kristen Stewart and Chirs Hemsworth were interviewed for Mornings to promote Snow White and the Huntsman in Australia.

Kristen was so cute and giggly in this! Chris went off topic a bit by joking around LOL This must have been at the end of their long junket day!

A survey conducted on September 8, 2006 shows the general public's overall opinion of E85. With no background information given, the survey respondents were asked "What is your opinion of E85?" While 16 percent thought it was as good as or better than gasoline and roughly an equal percent (15) thought it was worse, the important number is that almost 70 percent of the survey respondents answered that they did not know about E85. Of the previously mentioned 16%, nine percent of respondents thought that E85 was just as good as gasoline and seven percent thought E85 was better than gasoline.

Flavours and aromas of passionfruit and nectarine gently compliment the delicate aroma of gooseberries. A mineral character lends a distinctly Graves-like character to the wine. The addition of Semillon has added to the texture. The fresh acid is balanced by a tiny amount of retained sweetness.

I bought silent hill 1 sold it when I got my ps2 to get GTA III (i didn't have a job at the time) and I have 2 and 3 and have 4 reserved. I'm going to buy back 1 soon. I love the entire series!
SampleandHol... | #4 Subject: Played a demo of SH4 on Xbox... Posted: 09/06/2004 01:59:34 |
It looks to be a good one. The game has a pretty good combat engine finally. Not the best but at least you feel less helpless as in the first few of the series. Not quite as dark though. I guess they did that because you don't get a flash light. I wonder if that will make a difference for me.
Only a few days to go... |

Hi all,
Check out my 1up.com page and read my review of Silent Hill 2. Tell me what you think and if you agree with my interpretations and stuff. I'm interested to see what your interpretations are of the series too. |
SampleandHol... | #8 Subject: My review of Your review. Posted: 09/07/2004 02:27:56 |
Pretty dead on. Now, go watch "Jacob's Ladder." Notice anything, say a certian subway... "Bergen Street" perhaps. The rapid head shaking... Man I can never get enough of that effect.
As for what you got out of it, that is the beauty of art, it can be so different to so many. For me the game was a sad love story. You find a man so disgusted by what he has done that he forgets his past to a degree, or re-imagines it. The story is so much about punishment and forgiveness and the human condition. As for the metaphors, the entire game could be argued to be a metaphor of the mental stability of James' mind. His guilt. You had it spot on. And seriously, anyone that is a fan of Silent Hill (specificaly 2) should watch "Jacob's Ladder." You'll see alot of stuff from that movie that seems to have made it into the game. snh |
The WID | #9 Subject: SH rant Posted: 09/07/2004 14:14:42 |
hey yall-- I just went on a big rant about part four, while fondly lookin back on the second on my 1up.com page. and hell yeah jacobs ladder is an amazing movie--as I was playing SH 2 for the first time I knew it reminded me of something---it wasnt till I watched jacobs ladder again that I realized what it was. shaking head shit. And from what I saw in the demo of the fourth, that effect is back in full force. alright peace
Sensei)(Rebe... | #10 Subject: thx sampleandhold Posted: 09/12/2004 21:19:52 |
Yeah I was pretty sure I was dead on
I'm gonna check out Jacob's Ladder - haven't ever thought it was worthwhile, but since a SH fan has recommended it... Anyone know any other movies that are done in a SH way ? I just watched the movie Session 9. Definitely a SH experience. Check it out guys ! |
Sensei)(Rebe... | #11 Subject: fav. Silent Hill Posted: 09/14/2004 19:18:48 |
C'mon let's hear from everyone. Mine's definitely the 2nd fer sure. How bout you guys ?
SampleandHol... | #12 Subject: Fav. Silent Hill Posted: 09/15/2004 00:13:58 |
I lik all them for different reasons. But so far I think I would have to say number 2 is the favorite. I want a remake of the first one on ps2 like they did for resident evil on gamecube.
But I like all of them. Number 4 is kind of disappointing so far. I haven't gotten scared at all really. and I am about three hours in. Maybe it is a slow starter. |
escaping_bur... | #13 Subject: Favorites Posted: 09/16/2004 01:44:20 |
For me, SH4 didn't really start to get scary until about halfway through. When it did get scary, though, it had me wondering how I could ever have desired such an unforgivingly horrifying experience, so it paid off in the end.
My favorite game in the series (and actually my favorite game ever) is still Silent Hill 2. It seems like a case where the creators knew exactly what they wanted the game to be, and were able to execute their plan flawlessly and beautifully. |
LotusReaver | #14 Subject: Each has Merits Posted: 09/17/2004 15:20:04 |
I think each game has its own merits. SH2 has the better story and was more complex in its analysis. SH3 looked better. But since we're all comparing the games, I'd have to say that I like the second game the best because it's the first one I played.
cloud_strife... | #15 Subject: fav silent hill Posted: 09/18/2004 01:49:18 |
I'll change mine to SH 1. I liked 4 a lot though. I just beat it!
rgansta72 | #16 Subject: fav.silent hill Posted: 09/30/2004 17:09:49 |
My personal favorite is 4 the storline is quite disturbing. Graphics have been improved by far same as the voice acting
cloud_strife... | #17 Subject: Work has already begun on SH5 for the PS3! Posted: 10/05/2004 23:41:41 |
Also on a side note probably Xbox 2 also. I don't have the link right now because I'm making sure it's legit. I'll post it here soon.
Sensei)(Rebe... | #18 Subject: Thoughts on Pyramid freak Posted: 10/06/2004 22:39:57 |
Is there any history with this character ? I don't get why he looks like he has a blender as a head. Is there a real person in there ? I looked up some info on gamefaqs.com about SH's storyline and it really didn't help much.
SampleandHol... | #19 Subject: My favorite all time monster: The Pyramid Head. Posted: 10/07/2004 23:31:13 |
It's actual name is "The Crimson One" if you read some of the papers that you find in Silent Hill 2. I personally think it is more of a manifestation of James' guilt. As it continues to kill Maria over and over again in the game. Almost the self loathing that James feels toward himself from the sin he commented two weeks prior (or was it 2 years). More so I think Pyramid Head is also there to punish James.
One site I read said that this thing came from the prison, supposedly the excutioners at the prison wore pointy hats and that the Crimson One is the manifestion of those same excutioners. But then that would mean that it should have only showed up in the prison section of the game. As for it being a real person... I doubt it. It is clearly some kind of demon or entity. It makes an appearance in SH3, I guess. Some people say that when you die and you watch the screen, sometimes something comes out of the shadows and drags Heather off somewhere, Some people say that that thing is Pyramid Head with the whatever it is gone. I never really get the feeling that it is evil or good, more so something that is doing a job. Sort of indifferent to everything. When I first saw it in the apartment where it is standing on the other side of the bars, I jumped, but I wasn't scared all that much. When I play the game and Pyramid comes at me I feel scared for my character's life, but I don't sense it as evil as say Maria is. But she is more twisted, she creepied me out at the very begin. My analysis of the thing anyway. It would be interesting to hear what other people think of it. snh |
Sensei)(Rebe... | #20 Subject: nice sample Posted: 10/11/2004 04:48:48 |
Much of what you said about Pyramid Head never came to mind, but it does make sense and I agree with a lot of it. But, actually I think it IS really evil, like a demon (which I think is what you called it too). So it really isn't too indifferent to things. I wish there had been more info on the guy in the games tho. He really is a cool presence in the game.

And now for the post that I responded to my answer: I just wish I could have a better picture of pyramid head. I think it is such a neat creature design. Hell, I would probably buy an action figure of it if they released one. Pyramid head has to be one of the coolest.

silentgamer | #23 Subject: drool!! Posted: 10/14/2004 21:51:15 |
silent hill action figures, oh how cool would that be. deluxe twelve inch piramid head, the crazy amuzement park bunnies would also kick my ass
SampleandHol... | #24 Subject: Action figures. Posted: 10/15/2004 23:48:39 |
Yeah, you could get them all. Pyramid Head with the spear and Great Knife. James could have all the weapons including a pillow. You could get all the different demons from the game, including the nurses. Come on. Lets hear it. The nurses in Silent Hill 2 where by far the scariest looking design. I would have to say the nurses in Silent Hill 3 look, well, silly.
It would actually be pretty cool. I would go for it. snh |

Got SH4 for christmas, and it is awsome. I love the story and the new monsters, sends new chills down my spine! But i think that the ghost enemys that dont die, are sorta lame since there always in the way and you cant destroy them, o well makes the game more intresting and challenging, i love a good challenge.Anyone else play SH4 yet?
Automancer | #29 Subject: Playing Silent Hill 4 Posted: 01/13/2005 02:42:42 |
I got Silent Hill 4 the day it came out. I haven't beaten it yet, because I bought several other games before and after getting it too. So far, I am liking what I see. The ghosts in the game provide a bit of a challenge because they harm you just by being around you. I am about to the middle of the game because I have almost finished the hospital.
LetMeLive311 | #30 Subject: Silent hill 4 hints and tricks Posted: 01/13/2005 19:03:13 |
so i have beaten silent hill 4, and it was so good, i recomend everyone to buy it. My hints to others who try to play this game is conserve ammo for the last boss, he's a bit difficult. about two health kits should be enough and for the ghosts try to aviod, dont waist your ammo, just run like hell. However for the ghost with the long black hair in their face, the one that looks like the girl from the ring or grudge, use the speacial sword that pins them in place.

A Miami-Dade judge dismissed a case that alleged North Miami Mayor Lucie Tondreau never properly qualified to run for office.
The lawsuit, brought forward by former North Miami Mayor Kevin Burns who lost to Tondreau during the June runoff election, was seeking Tondreau's removal from office.
At issue was whether or not Tondreau actually lived in North Miami the required full year before running for office.
Burns claims she did not. Tondreau maintains she followed all the rules to qualify for office.
At a hearing earlier this month, Judge Jorge Cueto said he did not believe he had jurisdiction to hear the case citing a 1981 Florida Supreme Court ruling.
In his motion to dismiss, Cueto citing the 1981 case and similar case law wrote, "Generally, courts have no inherent power to determine election contests nor do courts have jurisdiction to inquire into a person's qualifications to run for office after that person has been duly elected."
The case has been the cause of tension in North Miami, where some Tondreau supporters saw it as last-ditch move by a candidate who could not come to terms with his defeat.
Burns said he is not a sore loser.
"Voters should not be allowed to vote for a nonresident," he said.. "We have already filed a notice of appeal. For the people of North Miami this fight is not over."
In a statement, Tondreau said she is ready to move forward.
"I have been elected by the people of our city to provide leadership for all of our residents and businesses," she said. "I call upon everyone, including my former opponents, to work together with me to improve, enhance, and grow the city of North Miami and further our status as an All-America City — a city of progress and smart growth. There is strength in unity and it's time to unite and move forward."

Ann Romney's Jewelry Stolen
Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Shopping
Mitt Romney's wife Ann might regret leaving some of her jewelry at the couple's Park City Utah home, which is currently for sale for $5.25 million. The Park Record reports that someone stole between 15 and 20 pieces of her jewelry from the couple's mansion. The person who stole the jewelry apparently had access to the house because there was no evidence of a break-in. Workers were recently in the home making some repairs on a bathroom near the walk-in closet containing the jewelry and it is not clear if the jewelry was taken at that time. Currently the value of the pieces stolen is not known.
