Congressman Dan Kildee announced Tuesday that he will be living on an average food stamp budget for one week to raise awareness about billions of dollars in cuts House Republicans have proposed in programs for low-income families and children.
That amounts to about $31.50 per week -- or $4.50 each day.
"With these deep cuts to nutrition programs being proposed, it's important for elected officials to recognize the hardship millions of Americans face every day as they attempt to feed their families," Kildee said. "By living off such a limited budget, I hope to gain a better understanding of how difficult it is for many of my constituents to avoid hunger and try to meet nutritional needs."
Kildee says he will live on a food stamp budget from Sunday, June 16 through Saturday, June 22. All food purchased and eaten during the week will be included in the total spending.
As part of the broader farm bill, Republicans have proposed $20.5 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), in addition to changes that would make it harder for people to qualify for food aid. The cuts would affect 47.5 million Americans, nearly half of whom are children. Eighty-three percent of all SNAP beneficiaries are children, seniors or disabled adults.
"I strongly oppose billions of dollars in cuts to nutrition programs for families and children," Kildee said.
Republicans have been attempting to reign in what they call "out of control" federal spending in an effort to reduce the federal deficit.
If implemented, these cuts would be in addition to cuts to SNAP that are set to take place in November 2013, when temporary increases approved in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expire.
Kildee said he will also be sharing photographs of his meals and thoughts throughout the week on his Facebook and Twitter pages, using the hashtag #SNAPchallenge.

Tom Hanks outed his high school drama teacher in his Oscar acceptance speech
Hanks' acceptance speech for the 1993 film Philadelphia is infamous for being one of the most poignant and poetic thanks given at the awards ceremony. However, There is a story behind the words dramatic enough to rival the acting.
During the speech, Tom thanks his high school drama teacher, Rawley T. Farnsworth, saying he is one of 'the greatest gay Americans' he knows. So what's the problem? Farnsworth hadn't actually came out of the closet yet.
Despite the failure, this cloud had a silver lining. The story of a teacher being brought out of the closet by a former pupil inspired the film In & Out. You can watch Tom Hank's speech here.

Jobs and growth at heart of new business survey
1:40pm Monday 10th December 2012 in News
A MAJOR survey asking Oxfordshire firms to record their views on burning business issues has been launched.
The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) aims to receive feedback from thousands of businesses and individuals in a bid to build a comprehensive picture of their needs in the current economic climate.
Armed with this information, the LEP plans to tackle the issues in a bid to remove hurdles to economic success.
Chairman Adrian Shooter said: "The only reason we exist is to create private sector jobs and grow the economy."
Mr Shooter added that the LEP had been successful in persuading the Department of Transport to redevelop Junction 9 of the M40 which has enabled plans for a business park near Bicester Village to be put forward.
He said: "We have already been very successful but there must be more we can do."
The survey addresses pivotal issues including access to finance and business support, skills, infrastructure and planning, and broadband provision.
Mr Shooter added: "LEPs are still largely unknown to the man in the street and more importantly, business.
"To align the Oxfordshire LEP's business plan with business needs, we must have accurate information on what owners and managers see as the critical issues."
Oxfordshire is one of 39 LEPs formed early last year after the regional development agencies were dissolved.
Members include representatives of key business organisations including the Oxfordshire Chamber of Commerce, the Oxfordshire Federation of Small Businesses and the Institute of Directors.
Local authorities including Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council are also involved.
- The survey is open until December 14 – to take part, go online at oxfordshirelep.org.uk

The only lightweight fight on tonight's UFC 161 event from Winnipeg, Canada pits lightweight veteran Sam Stout (20-8-1, 8-7 UFC) against the debuting James Krause.(19-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Stout was originally scheduled to face Isaac Vallie-Flagg, but a back injury forced Isaac off the card.
Krause has won 7 straight fights and has deservedly earned a UFC call-up. Stout has never put together any sort of consistency in his performances but he's still a tough gatekeeper in one of the sport's best divisions. The UFC 161 prelims on FX kick off at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT and lead into the main card on PPV at 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT.
How do these two stack up?
Stout: 29 years old | 5'9" | 70" reach
Krause: 27 years old | 6'2" | 75" reach
What have these two done recently?
Stout: W - Caros Fodor (SD) | L - John Makdessi (UD) | W - Spencer Fisher (UD)
Krause: W - Toby Imada (UD) | W - Joe Jordan (SUB) | W - Guilherme Trindade (KO)
How did these two get here?
It's been just over two years since Stout recorded a 1st round KO of Yves Edwards, marking the first time "Hands of Stone" had ever won by KO in the UFC. He's been a UFC mainstay since 2006 and a frequent recipient of the FOTN bonus. What Stout has lacked is consistency, as he's yet to win 3 in a row in the UFC and is 2-2 in his last 4, with wins over Caros Fodor and Spencer Fisher and losses to Thiago Tavares and John Makdessi. Stout's style is tailored towards his boxing, which may not be powerful, but has certainly proven troublesome for many of his previous opponents.
Krause got off to a flying start in his MMA career, winning his first 10 pro fights and signing with the WEC. His WEC career was short, as he lost to Donald Cerrone and Ricardo Lamas and was released from the promotion. After some mixed results in the immediate months after his release, Krause went on a tear in Resurrection Fighting Alliance, winning 5 in a row and avenging a Bellator loss to Toby Imada with a decision win in RFA. He's clearly "resurrected" his career and is deservedly in the UFC with his recent winning streak.
Why should you care?
I'm not sure Krause can be called a "prospect" with 23 fights under his belt, but he was considered one of the better talents not yet in the UFC. Can he pull off a minor upset and defeat the veteran Sam Stout? It's one of the better fights on an otherwise unremarkable event.

nose is caramel/lime
first sip is similar to the nose, but a little choco and a little earthy graininess.
that's pretty much it.
not a lot to this one, and I must say that I'm a bit disappointed in the simplicity and blandness of this one considering the great brewing company Sierra.
A little erathy hop backbone saves the day, but it isn't enough to make me seek this one out again....

To me its a little early to drink autumn beers,even more so now living in hot NC,but I wanted a outdoor grilling beer and this fit the bill.Poured into a standard pint glass a brilliant chesnut brown with a light tannish colored one finger head that settled into a creamy mass.Aromas are lightly roasted with a fair amount of nut,some caramel sweetness as well,almost like a faint pecan pie element to it.Well rounded on the palate,some caramel and lightly roasted nuttiness along with some roast, a real nice shot of pine in the finish.Its a great blend of roasty and sweetish malt and earthy,piney hop,one of the best brown ales I have had,well done again from SN.

On tap at the Oak Cafe. Pours a solid brown color with light tinges of copper, decent clarity, fluffy white head that reduces quickly leaving little lacing behind. Nose is clean with some dried cocoa powder and a very heavy nuttiness that smells both delicious and inviting. First sip is reminiscent of charred wood; oak and maple flavors pull through, along with a strong nutty profile. Earthy, dirty esters run rampant atop a very slight hop flavor that stays on the leafy/grassy side of things. Bitterness is low overall, but it balances out the earth tones enough to keep things interesting. Unsweetened chocolate, roasted caramel malt, and burnt walnuts are left on the palate, fading long into the aftertaste. Medium body, maybe even slightly on the thin side, medium amount of carbonation.
Sierra Nevada never fails to impress me, and this is certainly no exception. A very solid brown ale with a great nutty flavor that does nothing but hit the mark. At 5.5% ABV, this beer is drinkable as can be. Chalk this one up as a victory.

A: Medium copper with excellent clarity. The persistant, light-tan head is composed of rock bubbles.
S: Moderate caramel and biscuity malt and an unusual yet pleasant smoked malt aroma. A light earthy hops, no diacetyl.
T: A strong malt flavor with caramel and that moderate smoke character. A medium-light amount of malt sweetness mid-palate with an medium-dry finish. There is a light citrus hops flavor and moderate hops bitterness. The balance is somewhat bitter. The aftertaste is a light toasty malt and light hops bitterness.
M: A moderately creamy, medium-full bodied beer with moderate carbonation.
O: The freshly roasted and smoked malt gives this a nice seasonal twist. I particularly like that this isn't all that sweet as some browns can be.

I am a big fan of Sierra Nevada and this one didnt disappoint. A good brown ale is perfect for autumn so i think they hit the nail on the head with this one. Not only is this beer perfect for the season its also a great brown ale in general. It isnt as heavy as a DFH Indian Brown Ale or Palo Santo Marron or a Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale and also isnt as high in alcohol content which makes it very drinkable yet maintaining all of that great maltiness that we love about brown ales. This is a great beer to kick back on a patio or deck and watch the leaves come down.

In a pint glass, the beer was a medium brown color with a thin tan head. No lacing.
It had a nice roasted malt aroma, with a little bit of caramel.
Sweet caramel taste, a little nutty, with some late hops.
A very satisfying autumn beer, definitely reminiscent of the fall season.

This is a good looking beer; but don't judge a beer by its cover. I might be somewhat uneducated regarding brown ales, but this ale has the taste of burnt bacon with a pungent aroma. I have always been very impressed with SN but this comes up short. Still a brewery that others should aspire to reach but I will stick with pale ale and torpedo until the celebration ale comes out.

A - A pretty brown with a tan head.
S - The nose is heavy on the roasted malts and some faint floral notes from the hops.
T - There is some nuttiness at first. Then, you are hit with some roasted malt flavor with some hints of coffee. There is also a little bit of dark chocolate flavor towards the end of each sip.
M - Medium bodied with medium carbonation.
O - This is a great Fall beer. It is really drinkable and has a well-balanced and subtle flavor profile. I could definitely drink a couple of these in a single session and be very happy.

Notes from 9/12/10
Dark brown translucent pour with two fingers of billowy head that sticks around for awhile and leaves some sticky lacing.
Smell is earthy roasted malt with a slight bit of sweetness and very faint hop presence.
Taste is similar to smell, earthy malt with some nice nutty notes and slight caramel sweetness.
Light mouthfeel with a nice amount of carbonation.
A nice brown ale. The earthiness may get old after a couple, and just not interesting enough to want to drink more than one or two, but a nice fall beer.

Newport 20 Neath 3 match report
7:40pm Saturday 8th March 2014 in Sport By Iwan Gabe Davies
NEWPORT almost guaranteed their Principality Premiership survival after recording a fine win over relegation haunted Neath at Rodney Parade.
The Black and Ambers built on last week's excellent 46-24 bonus point victory over Bridgend at the Brewery Field to record their first back-to-back league triumphs this season.
It also saw them secure the double over the Welsh All Blacks after beating them 26-15 at The Gnoll in November.
Newport got off to a great start when Owen Broad was brought into the line from slick lineout ball, the wing finishing in style to give his side the lead after eight minutes, full-back Geraint O'Driscoll converting.
And the Black and Ambers went further ahead after quarter of an hour when O'Driscoll sweetly struck a long range penalty as the hosts when 10-0 up.
Playing with a positive intent to attack, Newport were dominating proceedings and another O'Driscoll penalty was their reward.
Neath also looked to spread the ball as well and a promising attack ended with No 10 Dale Ford cutting the gap to 13-3 with a penalty.
The home side should have been further ahead in the 34th minute when a searing break by Newport Gwent Dragons outside-half Lewis Robling looked to have put in replacement flanker Sam Waldron, but he was tackled just inches short of the Neath try line.
Visiting tighthead prop Marc Jones was yellow carded at the ensuing scrum and the Black and Ambers looked to capitalise on their opponents being down to 14 men.
But, much to the frustration of the Rodney Parade faithful, the referee Ben Whitehouse didn't award them a penalty try when it looked as though they had Neath on the ropes in the scrum.
But the half ended with Newport just ten points ahead when it really should have been more.
They did break Neath's resistance in the 50th minute when some lovely handling saw Broad in space, the little wing doing superbly again to score his second try, converted by O'Driscoll.
A break from deep, wing Ashton Hewitt fly hacking ahead, gave them a great chance to score their third try from excellent field position, but desperate Neath defence and some Newport handling errors meant the score remained the same.
The home side created a number of chances to increase their lead, Broad could have scored a hat trick had a pass been better timed, but Neath's defence and some basic handling errors meant the winning margin was 17 points when it should have been far more.
Joy for Newport but despair for a Neath side still in danger of going down this season.

North Yorks MP in renewed fight for rural fuel rebate
A North Yorkshire MP has vowed to fight "with renewed vigour" for a fuel duty rebate for isolated parts of the county.
Anne McIntosh, who represents Thirsk and Malton, claims she has "a strong case" to make to both the Chancellor and the EU Commission for a rebate for areas of Ryedale and Hambleton - areas that have been hit by the highest fuel prices in the country.
The Conservative MP said: "The fact that it now costs over £70 to refuel a vehicle, with the need for 4x4 vehicles in the extreme conditions of North Yorkshire, emphasises how disadvantaged the private motorist is in rural constituencies like Thirsk, Malton and Filey."
A scheme running in Scotland and sees motorists in some of the most remote areas eligible to reclaim up to five pence per litre on petrol and diesel.

Abandoned at a Los Angeles shelter last Monday and transferred to Helen Woodward Animal Center by a rescue partner on Wednesday, the three-month old tabby shouldn't have survived, much less purr. With his front feet swollen, cracked and bleeding; tail, ears and nose red, raw and covered in a burning acrid chemical, any kitten should have been understandably terrified and wary. Instead, in response to the compassionate care of Center workers, the delicate feline has been treating staff members to gentle nuzzles and soft purrs. In fact, despite his amputated tail, struggle to walk and newly heavy-laden front-feet bandages, he even attempts to lovingly knead on the arms and chests of his newfound friends. In honor of his sweetly inspiring resilience and warmth, the Center staff has named him Phoenix.
"We can't be certain whether the chemicals were purposely poured on the body of this kitten, or not," stated Helen Woodward Veterinarian Dr. Stephanie Oba. "Unfortunately, we do know that the acid burns were from a manmade product and it's incredibly upsetting to see the harm it has done to such an innocent creature. I'm glad to say that he will survive it, but he has quite a bit of healing to do."
Phoenix is thriving under doctor's care and will be closely monitored. He will be available for adoption at Helen Woodward Animal Center in approximately one month. If you would like to adopt Phoenix, please contact Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Department at: 858-756-4117 ext. 313, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.
About Helen Woodward Animal Center: Helen Woodward Animal Center is a private, non-profit organization where "people help animals and animals help people." Founded in 1972 in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., the Center provides services for more than 57,000 people and thousands of animals annually through adoptions, educational and therapeutic programs both onsite and throughout the community. Helen Woodward Animal Center is also the creator of the international Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption drive and the Animal Center Education Services program, teaching the business of saving lives to animal welfare leaders from around the world.

how can i change the app ,
Which app, exactly? From where? Who wrote the app?
On which device (manufacturer and model) are you trying to use it on?
How are you trying to install it, exactly?
In any case, if the phone model you are trying to install it on, says that it is too big for the phone, then most probably you need to either find another phone model that accepts bigger apps, or reduce the app size (for which you need to be the original app developer, or at least have access to the app source code).
hello Petrib
i try to upload a app on the nokia store not on a phone , it is a app that i made with conduit.com ,
link where iwant to upload is :
there i dont come further , the sise off the app is to big and its the wrong format
with the website conduit.com i only can make a app for nokia in wgt , and the app contents not much data , and other smartphone store have accept my app why nokia not ?
I think that there is a misunderstanding here. On Nokia platforms there are basically three ways to make web apps.

After lunch we had a quick (and confusing!) walk around several decks and waited for our room to be ready ... and we weren't disappointed. 9002 is one of the four penthouses at the bow of the ship (on the ships' webcam you can be viewed around the world as it is one of only 2 decks visible!). The room is large and well equipped including a 32" satellite TV, Lavazzo coffee machine, well stocked (but pricey) minibar and drinks cupboard with lots of cupboard and shelf space and a large double wardrobe. The bathroom was small but did the job. One word of advice ... there was 1 UK 3 pin 240V socket - the rest are mainly EUROPEAN round pin sockets (not the straight pin US ones we had taken with us!). The deck was fantastic - large but private and with 2 very comfortable loungers and a small table. We met our Butler who tried to look after us constantly - but we made little use of his specialised services (although the automatic delivery of chocolates or canapes around 4pm every afternoon was eagerly anticipated!)
The bed was huge and very comfortable ... the air con in the room was more than sufficient - altogether it was a very nice start to our first ever cruise
We ate at Cagneys (OK), Bamboo and La Bistro (both fantastic), Aqua and Venetian (OK), and the Oasis BBQ (great), but avoided the buffet as it looked like a very noisy school cafeteria, cramped, and with far too many people who seemed more concerned with quantity of food rather than the quality. I did visit around 9pm one evening while my wife was not too well, and the place was a lot quieter, the food was fine (both in variety and quality) but lukewarm ...
We only made one reservation - the rest of the time we just turned up at the restaurant of choice and got in virtually straight away
The whole ship is obsessed with your hands ... so in every restaurant, activity area, elevator or embarkation point there are hand sanitizers or the "Washy Washy Happy Happy" girls who squirted sanitizer onto your hands for you.
Our biggest issue was with the Oasis pool area ... for obvious reasons, the pool is quite small - but the seating around the pool is VERY cramped and there is a lot of sunbed "reservations" with no people using them and the live entertainment is VERY loud ... we missed being able to enjoy the freedom and peace found on a land based pool area ...
We found ourselves exhausted virtually every night -- so we saw very little of the entertainment in the Stardust Theatre (which is very impressive to look at) ... the guy Jay playing jazz piano in Gatsby's bar was our favourite entertainment ... the Casino was always busy -- and full of cigarette smoke (it's legal to smoke in the casino)
Getting on and off the ship at each port was very easy and well organised ... and being VIP's -- the priority disembarkation at the end of the cruise meant we had no queues to join ...
The main thing that grated on us was the constant drive to remove money from us ... bingo ... art auctions ... shopping deals ... drinks ... snacks ... everything costs extra on an NCL cruise ... we'd prefer it to become an "All Inclusive" deal which is becoming increasingly popular in both Europe and the Caribbean. Yes -- the initial cost of the trip would be higher ... but then we could have budgeted fully and not felt as if we were being turned over every minute of the day to generate further profits for the cruise line
Despite being a big ship (almost 1000 feet long) and with seas and winds being no more than "slight" -- we were very surprised at the amount of lateral movement of the ship -- particularly noticeable at night when I guess they speeded the ship up to get to it's next destination ... it meant that my wife was unable to get a good nights' sleep throughout the cruise

Here's how the Orioles' season went in 2012: In the top of the eighth inning, with runners on first and second and one out, announcer Ernie Johnson said:
Here's Lew Ford, the DH.
Which is a ridiculous, anachronism of a sentence. It would have been ridiculous when Ford was in his late-20s, much less in his mid-30s, five years after he was last in the majors. Lew Ford, DH. Goodness.
And a few seconds after Lew Ford, DH, was announced, he drove in a run.
That is the 2012 Orioles, distilled. Unfortunately, just like the 2012 Orioles, it wasn't quite enough. The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles in Game 5 of the ALDS on Friday, winning 3-1, moving on to face the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series, and proving there is no God.
Okay, that's laying it on a little thick. But was there a non-Yankees fan in the world who wasn't pulling just a little bit for the Orioles? Unless Eddie Murray keyed your car in high school, it was hard not to get caught up with the Orioles' brand of outcasts and ne'er-do-wells doing well. Nate McLouth, Joe Saunders, Lew Ford … it was an impressive bunch. It was unexpected.
But the Yankees had Charles Carsten Sabathia, and they got to deploy him twice. Sabathia was excellent in Game 5, throwing the first complete game for the Yankees in the playoffs since Roger Clemens in Game 4 of the 2000 ALCS. The last left-hander to pitch a complete game for the Yankees in the postseason was David Wells in Game 3 of the 1997 ALDS. Sabathia allowed four hits, walked two, and struck out nine.
The Yankees didn't have a runner through four innings against Jason Hammel, but they broke through in the fifth. Mark Teixeira opened the frame with a single, and he stole second when no one was paying attention. Raul Ibañez singled to center, sending Teixeira home and giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
In the top of the sixth, there was a little controversy, as McLouth hit a ball deep down the right-field line. It was called foul, but the umpires took the time to review it:
There are people on the Internet who are sure it was fair, and there are people on the Internet who are sure it was foul. They seem to align perfectly with their rooting interests. You never would have guessed. The umpires declared it wasn't obvious enough to overturn, and the foul call stood. McLouth struck out on the next pitch when play resumed.
In the bottom of the sixth, Derek Jeter singled and came around on a long Ichiro double to put the Yankees up two, and in the seventh, Curtis Granderson hit a moon shot into the right-field stands to put the Yankees up 3-0.
The aforementioned Ford got the Orioles' only run in the top of the eighth, which was the best chance of the night for Baltimore. After Ford's single, Robert Andino dribbled a ball back to Sabathia, who looked toward an empty third before throwing too late to first, loading the bases. But McLouth struck out swinging, and Derek Jeter made a nice play, charging a J.J. Hardy grounder to get the last out of the inning.
In the ninth, Sabathia came out and shut down the Orioles in order. The Yankees will host the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday.

CATEGORIES MoviesWhen you're on the verge becoming a worldwide superstar, getting turned down for a potential role seems pretty inconsequential. At least that's the stance Liam Hemsworth is taking.
Recently, the actor -- who's set to star in the highly anticipated adaptation of "The Hunger Games" -- was attached to play Bruce WIllis' son in the next installment of "Die Hard." However, he lost out to fellow newcomer Jai Courtney.
"It didn't end up happening," Hemsworth told MTV News. "Like a lot of things in this town, sometimes you're right for things, and sometimes someone else is better for the part."
However, not all is lost for Hemsworth on the action sequel front. This summer, he'll star alongside Sylvester Stallone in "The Expendables 2," out August 17. Before that, Liam will portray Gale Hawthorne in "Hunger Games," which hits theaters March 23. Two reasons for the actor to shout something close to "Yippie kay-yay motherf****r!"

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
New signs are pointing to some old buildings coming back
to life in downtown Toledo, especially at the corner of Jefferson and Ontario.
Built in 1890 and vacant since the 1970's, the Pythian
Castle building has been acquired by the Lucas County Land Bank, which is
teaming up with Louisville Title to secure a developer to renovate the
"If it is not developed within two years for whatever
reason, the land bank will continue to own that property to make sure it
doesn't fall into the hands of a speculator," said Lucas County Treasurer Wade
Earlier this year the land bank completed a deal for a
local business to begin renovations at the former Caesar's Showbar.
Bill Thomas, Executive Director of the Downtown Toledo
Improvement District, says the future looks bright at that intersection.
"If you look at the Pythian Castle and what it could
become in way of residential and commercial space, and you combine that with
the activity here at the old Caesar's Showbar across the street, you got a couple
of buildings and all of a sudden you have some great energy here."
When you also consider a developer is in the process of
converting the historic Berdan building into new residential space, Thomas says
this should help attract even more private investment into the heart of the
Glass City.
"That'll be around 120 residential units, we have the
demand, the 120 won't even satisfy the demand that's out there. We need more
residential units."
He says boosting the number of people living downtown
will help the bars and restaurants and encourage new retail investment.

Sorry guys....I didn't grow up around farm machinery. Everything I do on my little piece of heaven with my Cubs and tractors and equipment I have to teach myself. I feel like an idiot just asking this....
I bought a JD 750 2 years ago and I recenlty acquired a Ford tiller. My tractor came with a loader and a backhoe, but did not come with any of the 3 point hitch pieces. I found them at tractor salvage places, but I had to buy an aftermarket top link. How the heck to I get the little bar that goes through the top link through the hole? The bar has these 4 knurled edges, and it doesn't go through. Do I just kind of hammer it through? If so....what prevents it from falling back out?
Sorry for the lame question.

CATEGORIES MoviesAs far as legends of the musical theater world go, Andrew Lloyd Webber is as close to kinghood as you can get. The composer and songwriter, who created such ceaselessly long-running productions as "Phantom of the Opera," "Jesus Chris Superstar," and "Cats," said in a recent interview that he has acquired the rights to an altogether different kind of production: a stage musical version of 2003 Jack Black comedy "School of Rock."
In a conversation with CBC about his career, excerpted by Broadway World, Webber admits that he recently got the rights to "School of Rock" and, what's more, he might be writing new songs to go along with the preexisting ones that were referenced in the movie.
Directed by Richard Linklater, "School of Rock" starred Jack Black as a slacker who goofs his way into becoming a substitute teacher at a stuffy private school. However, what Black's character really wants to do is rock, as he begins to teach his students about rock n' roll as a way of expression and a means of inspiring confidence.
A timetable hasn't been given for the "School of Rock" musical, but hopefully it's more along the lines of "Phantom of the Opera" than "Starlight Express."

A man who, along with a partner, terrorized Phoenix with a string of shootings in 2005 and 2006 has been found dead in his prison cell. Dale Hausner and Samuel John Dieteman are believed to have killed eight people and wounded another 20.
Hausner and Dieteman's crimes were especially terrifying to the community because of their random nature. The two would shoot out of the window of their vehicles at animals, pedestrians, joggers and bikers who were out on their own. At first, police thought they were hunting one killer, but eventually their investigation led them to suspect that the shootings were a team effort.
Dale Hausner, who was found dead of undisclosed causes yesterday at age 40, has been sentenced to death six times over for his crimes. Though he never confessed, he asked for the death penalty. Before trial, he attempted suicide in jail. After his sentencing, he wanted to waive his appeals and wrote a letter to The Arizona Republic expressing concern that he'd never be executed.
Twelve years before his crime spree began, Hausner suffered a tragedy that made him severely depressed. The two sons he fathered with wife Karen Ledford perished in a car accident. The loss of their children ended his and Ledford's marriage. By the time he met Dieteman in 2006, Hausner had already started shooting and committed his first murder. Dieteman was a downtrodden small-time criminal who would give stolen goods to Hausner to sell.
Dieteman and Hausner's spree came to an end after Dieteman bragged about it to a drinking buddy. The man went to police, who followed the duo and recorded their phone calls, during which they discussed their crimes at length.
Dieteman, 37, is serving life without parole.

GAO Review of the Department of Homeland Security's Certification of the Secure Flight Program--Cost and Schedule Estimates

The matching of airline passenger information against terrorist watchlist records (watchlist matching) is a frontline defense against acts of terrorism that target the nation's civil aviation system. In general, passengers identified as matches to the No-Fly list are prohibited from boarding commercial flights, while those matched to the Selectee list are required to undergo additional screening. Historically, airline passenger prescreening against watchlist records has been performed by commercial air carriers. As required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has developed an advanced passenger prescreening program--known as Secure Flight--to assume from air carriers the function of matching passenger information against terrorist watchlist records. Since fiscal year 2004, TSA has received $358 million in appropriated funds for the development and implementation of Secure Flight, according to program officials. Also, since fiscal year 2004, GAO has been mandated to assess the development and implementation of the Secure Flight program. We have reported on numerous challenges the program has faced, including those related to protecting passenger privacy, completing performance testing, fully defining and testing security requirements, and establishing reliable cost and schedule estimates, among other things. We have made recommendations to address these challenges, and TSA has generally agreed with them and has taken corrective actions.
TSA has generally achieved the statutory condition related to the appropriateness of Secure Flight's life-cycle cost and schedule estimates, and thus has generally achieved all 10 statutory conditions related to the development and implementation of the program. Although the program's cost and schedule estimates do not fully meet all related best practices, TSA has demonstrated that it completed all key activities and our overall assessment found that the agency had substantially satisfied best practices for developing the cost and schedule estimates. According to TSA, the Secure Flight program's estimated life-cycle cost is $1.36 billion through fiscal year 2020. TSA plans to complete assumption of the watchlist-matching function from air carriers for all domestic flights in May 2010 and to assume this function for all international flights departing to and from the United States by December 2010. If effectively maintained and updated, TSA's cost and schedule estimates should help ensure oversight and accountability of the Secure Flight program and provide assurance that it will be delivered within estimated costs and time frames.

BCAAG contains a precise, bioengineered ratio of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)and L-Glutamine, which are clinically proven to be essential for building muscle size and strength. BCAAG increases protein synthesis, nitrogen retention and most importantly protects hard earned muscle from the stress of heavy training and intense exercise. Clinical investigations have proven that the amino acids in BCAAG help the body recover quicker after intense training and promotes lean muscle gains while reducing unwanted body fat. Vitamin B6 has been added to enhance amino acid utilization directly into the muscle tissue. During intense training or dieting, muscle tissue (free amino acid pools) decreases, drastically reducing protein synthesis (the ability to build muscle). Research has indicated that BCAAs and Glutamine supplementation support this free amino acid pool in the muscle tissue, increasing protein synthesis and allowing the body to build lean muscle mass. Because the body cannot manufacture its own BCAAs or glutamine, their importance is vital for maximum muscle growth and recovery.
Other Ingredients: L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, L-Glutamine, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Citric Acid, Pyridoxine HCI & Sucralose. Contains No preservatives or excipients.
Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. As with all dietary supplements, consult your healthcare professional before use. See product label for more information.

Alma-Tadema and Victorian Painting
in the Pérez-Simón Collection
From 25 June to 12 October 2014 (extended closing date)
During the last years of Yves Tanguy's life, his painting became darker and less poetic. In Imaginary Numbers, considered by some to be his last work, the earlier biomorphic forms become petrified and are no longer isolated, forming compact groups of geological formations. These ambiguous monuments, which some authors link to the sculptures of Henry Moore and Hans Arp, may be interpreted as a premonition of death.
As in Multiplication of Arches, a painting dating from the same year and acquired by The Museum of Modern Art in New York on the occasion of the major exhibition of the painter's works at Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford in 1954, the strange and inexorable sea of stones becomes a terrifying labyrinth that defies any hope of escaping.
The work belonged to the dealer Pierre Matisse (1900–1989), the son of Henri Matisse, who opened a gallery in New York in 1931, and from 1958 it was owned by the great historian of the modern movement and curator of The Museum of Modern Art, William Rubin (1927–2006), until entering the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection in 1973.

WASHINGTON -- Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said he expects to see more games like Friday's battle with the Nationals -- when the pitching is very good and final scores are close.
Washington scored a 2-0 victory over Miami on Friday night, thanks to a few big hits and strong pitching.
Before Saturday's National League East battle with Washington, Guillen said the division's good pitching will probably force a lot of tight games.
"[I] expect close games most of the time," Guillen said. "We know that our division's pretty good."
But Guillen said his pitching staff, ranked sixth in the NL in ERA, has impressed with its early work. That's the kind of thing good teams need to have a shot at being competitive.
"I'm very excited about the way we play," Guillen said. "We're pitching well. That's very important."
Bonifacio starts at second for first time in 2012
WASHINGTON -- Emilio Bonifacio usually plays center field for Miami, but he made his first start of the season at second base on Saturday.
Bonifacio played the first 14 games in center, but manager Ozzie Guillen shifted him over to second base during the eighth inning in Friday's 2-0 series-opening loss to the Nationals.
Second baseman Omar Infante won't be starting in this series due to his strained groin, and Guillen said he's fine with how Donnie Murphy's playing there now.
"Bonifacio, he's not going to do it every day," Guillen said. "I'm just doing that because ... [Chris] Coghlan is swinging the bat pretty good right now. I want to take advantage. I think Murphy's been playing great."
Bonifacio played five games at second base last year out of 152. But he's played there on a regular basis throughout his career, so Guillen said he's fine with moving him over to second.
The skipper also was trying to get some more left-handed bats in the lineup against Washington right-hander Stephen Strasburg. Miami had five left-handed bats in the lineup, including the switch-hitting Bonifacio and Jose Reyes, as well as Coghlan, Logan Morrison and Greg Dobbs.
"We're going to face one of the better righties in the game," Guillen said. "Hopefully those left bats make things happen."
LoMo returns to starting lineup after night off
WASHINGTON -- Left fielder Logan Morrison returned to the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game, as the team is taking things slowly with him due to recurring right knee issues.
Morrison had offseason surgery on the knee, and manager Ozzie Guillen said the Marlins are keeping a close eye on him.
"We've got a plan for him," Guillen said. "It's a process. Hopefully it's a process for two months, a month and a half, then we see how it is after that. [If] he's better, completely better, [then] we see how we're going to play him."
Morrison was batting fourth against Washington starter Stephen Strasburg. Entering the game, Morrison was batting .300 with five RBIs.
"It's a day-to-day thing with my knee," Morrison said. "They give me days off just to make sure it doesn't get worse. Hopefully [it] gets better as the season goes on."
Morrison got a pinch-hit single in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Nationals, but he didn't play in the field. He batted for starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano, but was back in left on Saturday.
"I'm good enough to go," Morrison said.

We did anytime dinning but the service was inconsistent, the Meals were cold and the servers were disorganized. One night, my brother had his entire meal served in reverse. Another night I was told that I had to get my pasta before my salad because it came up first! Water glasses were not filled when emptied unless requested. The food was sub par and tasteless. The shrimp were mushy and tasted horrible. The beef wellington had a funny taste to it. The buffet had a lot of dishes to choose from, but tasted like cafeteria food. One night they had cabbage filled with cottage cheese and raisins.....it was very strange. I did not want to take a chance at the specialty restaurants thinking that all of the food came from the same Executive Chef. The pizza was OK. I have gone on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Holland America and the food was excellent. I thought Princess would be at least equal to or better since it is in a higher class of ships. We were very unhappy with the food.
The boat could not stop in Princess Cay because of the rough water. St. Marten, was nice. We especially enjoyed the Dutch side as you can shop, have a meal, drink and be at the beach all at once. The French side charged for food in Euros, so be prepared to pay a higher price on that side for food. St. Thomas was nice, we just went to the shops and had a nice lunch at the Greenhouse. Turk and Cacaos was absolutely the most beautiful stop. You must see the color of the water! The set up is great there, you don't have to take a taxi....the beach, shops and Margarita-ville are all there for fun...no time wasted traveling. You don't have to pay for chairs/pool/umbrellas...just food and drink (of course).
Many of the staff on the ship could not understand English. I was very surprised when I asked directions on the ship or where an event was happening and it was met with a stare and a shrug. Most he staff was not as friendly as my past cruises.
I chose Princess based on many recommendations, however, even my sister, who has traveled on Princess over 10 times, said she was disappointed in the food, the staff and the overall feeling of this cruise.
Sorry to say, we will not be taking Princess again.......

The Experience of Sitting
What is the experience if sitting? Well, a simple , matter-of-fact description might say that as we sit we're aware of thoughts in mind, the breathe in our belly, and pain in our legs. But we all also carry around a more or less idealized picture of how we want to experience sitting. Nobody wants pain in their legs, and we all harbor some idea that we should be able to completely empty our minds of distracting thoughts. But the fact is, pain and thought will always be with us. It is true that after we been sitting for some time, our legs will get more limber, and our minds do quiet down, but my left knee almost always hurts when I first bend it into a half-lotus, and by the end of an all day sitting, my knees are hurting just the way yours are. It may be possible to meditate in such a way that we essentially go into trance and become oblivious to bodily pain, and to completely empty the mind for extended periods of time, but because our daily lives are inevitably filled with pain, both physical and emotional pain, and our ordinary mind generates an endless stream of thought, that kind of meditation may offer little help in dealing with our everyday lives, when we can't go into a trance to escape our problems. What we are trying to practice here is not to try to escape from our thoughts, but simply by labeling them, over and over, to see them as thoughts, and not get caught u in their content. And we don't try to overcome pain, rather we watch our reactions to it, how we think we should be reacting or enduring it, our fear, our avoidance, or our macho pride.
The Zen Center in San Diego is in a house on a suburban street, right next to its neighbors' houses, many of whom can get quite noisy just when all the zen students are settling down for a nice quiet hour of zazen. I remember one sesshin when some neighborhood teenagers set up their band on the lawn directly across the street and proceeded to play at top volume well into the night, first while were trying to sit, and then when we were all trying to get some sleep. Over the years, people used to suggest to Joko that the Zen Center find a quieter location out in the country, but she's always refused. The point of practice is to come to terms with all the noise, inside and outside, not try to find some special quiet place where we can hide.
Now none of this means that we can simply sit here and daydream. When we sit, we sit to be fully present to this moment, but when we allow ourselves to daydream, or focus exclusively on our pain, we're ignoring most of what's really happening, and instead focussing on our own little self-centered corner of the universe. We are not here to struggle with pain, or struggle with our thoughts. When we settle down into the experience of our body and our breath, we let our pain just be pain, and our thoughts just be thoughts. We try to stay as fully aware as we can of just who we are, just what this moment is, and in this way, we just sit.

Megan Rossiter took over the Jackrabbit equestrian program on June 6, 2011, after spending four years at Drake Johnson Reining Horses in Wray, Colo., where she assisted in instructing riders, training and showing reining horses.
"I'm excited to work with the young women on the equestrian team," Rossiter said. "Being involved in a program with such great support from the administration, staff and community made this an easy decision for me."
No stranger to the college coaching ranks, Rossiter began her collegiate coaching career at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla., where she helped coach the Western team, under head coach Larry Sanchez, as a graduate assistant from 2001 until 2003, when she accepted a newly created assistant coaching position. During her time on staff at OSU, the Cowgirl Western squad won the Varsity Equestrian National Championships in 2003, 2004 and 2006, and the reserve national championship in 2005.
In addition to Varsity Equestrian, the Cowgirls attained much success in IHSA competition. Rossiter coached riders won 33 individual Zone championships, 18 Regional championships and seven national titles. The Cowgirls as a team also won Zone and Regional Championships in 2004, and the IHSA reserve Western national title in 2002.
Rossiter began her involvement with horses in her hometown of DePere, Wis., where she grew up competing in the AQHA circuits, congress and in the AQHYA World Show. She then competed as an intercollegiate rider in both hunt seat and Western events at Murray State University in Murray, Ky., where she participated in the National Student Exchange at New Mexico State University as a junior in 1998. During that year at NMSU, she competed with the Aggie equestrian team under coach Larry Sanchez.

Vestcom spent $1 million on its mainframe migration, which Mislinski says he'll recoup in two years, based on operational savings. The modern PC interface also enables his operations staff to respond to customer requests in just half the time it took previously, he estimates. Plus, having the code on a Windows platform means his staff can take advantage of visual development environments. It also means his Cobol programmers are now working in the same environment as his C# coders, so they can cross-train each other.
No Mass Exodus
Despite these companies' successes, migrating away from the mainframe is expensive and risky for most organizations. That's why IDC and Forrester Research see real interest in less than 5 percent of enterprises surveyed (see "When mainframes make sense"). It's also why IBM still gets nearly $5 billion a year in zSeries mainframe sales, notes IDC's Josselyn. He says the attitude he encounters most from IT is, "If it's not broken, why fix it?"
Josselyn says IBM has adjusted some of its licensing fees to address the issue of high licensing costs. And, Forrester's Murphy advises, even users of orphaned mainframe technology -- languages such as PL/I or hardware such as ICL's or Bull's -- can still modernize their mainframe technology, rather than dump it, by deploying Cobol, C++, and Java applications on Unix partitions. That strategy at least will let IT rationalize its environment and make any later transition to distributed systems easier.
Also, although the desire to move from legacy programming languages with a dwindling supply of developers is a common secondary motivation for mainframe migration, both Murphy and Josselyn note that Cobol developers' salaries have not increased in recent years, indicating no shortage.
Meanwhile, however, system vendors have dramatically improved the reliability and scalability of distributed systems to the point that enterprises can consider x86- and RISC-based servers running variants of Unix, Linux, or Windows for mission-critical applications.
Josselyn says the area in which these platforms still have a disadvantage is in management, because workload, latency, and data management can become difficult as you scale to hundreds of servers. Murphy suggests though, that this situation may improve in the next several years, as vendors deliver better tools and as IT staffs learn to run the systems the mainframe way, using techniques such as virtualization.
Enterprises with small mainframes or those that use them primarily as application servers -- the Vestcoms of the world -- are the most likely to begin wholesale migration to other platforms. Larger organizations are more likely to off-load some services and reduce the variety of mainframe systems in their portfolios while still taking full advantage of their available mainframe MIPS to keep per-transaction costs down, says Mike Gilbert, vice president of marketing at Micro Focus.
The first step is to decide which kind of organization you are, then to really think through what should continue to run on the mainframe and what should be migrated elsewhere. The good news is that the time is ripe to finally make that migration happen. The Big Iron Age is by no means over, but the first signs of the Distributed Age are definitely here.
In this article, we should have said that Sabre Holdings' HP NonStop servers use Intel Itanium 2 CPUs. In addition, Sabre's Red Hat Linux and MySQL software runs on a separate cluster of HP Integrity servers, also based on Itanium 2. InfoWorldregrets the errors, which have been corrected.

A Complete Waste Free Lunch
09.04.13 A Complete Waste Free Lunch
It's likely that many of you have already started (if not refined) a waste-free lunch packing routine. Taking steps to ditch the disposable plastic sandwich baggies for reusable cotton alternatives (saving countless and unnecessary bags from piling up for many years in the landfill). Packing sandwiches, pasta or last night's dinner in stainless steel containers keeps foods fresh, un-smooshed and appetizing until lunchtime. Filling a reusable beverage bottle in either a glass or stainless steel bottle allows you to kick the habit of spending money for endless juice boxes or mini plastic water bottles.
So what completes the waste-free lunch?
Cafeteria tables often have a stack of paper napkins and plastic utensils for kids to use. And then throw away. When your child is hip to the idea of using reusable lunch gear, throwing away anything comes into question. So, prepare them with a reusable cloth napkin to wipe their hands and faces clean. And a set of smooth, appropriately-sized utensils made of sustainable bamboo or stainless steel make eating home cooked meals even better.
Instead of disposable plastic packets like ketchup, mustard, honey and ranch, fill a LEAKPROOF stainless steel Lunchbots dips, and delight your child with his/her favorite condiment for their crudite to take a dip.
Reusable napkins: The average Amercian uses 6 paper napkins a day - that's 2200 a year per person! These cotton cloth napkins are reversible and small enough to perfectly fit a child's lap and tuck nicely into a lunchbox. Start good table manners at home and at school! Very durable and machine washable, too.
Or, opt for a People Towel - a reusable napkin made from 100% organic fair trade cotton and printed with eco-frinedly dyes. Choose from 5 different patterns.
Leakproof condiment containers:Worried about a lunchbox full of ranch dressing? This set of three 18/8 stainless steel condiment containers will safely keep dressing, nut butters or condiments INSIDE the 1.5 oz. container with the simple twist-locking lid. Lunchbot dips are dishwasher safe, able to resist rust and will last forever.
Reusable Utensils: Every year, Amercians throw away enough plastic forks, knives and spoons to circle the equator 300 times! And the plastic utensils are often made from styrene, a chemical prone to leach into hot foods and those with a high fat content.
Bamboo utensils are a terrific choice for packing in school lunches (or for keeping in your bag, on your desk, etc) in lieu of using cheap, disposable plastic utensils. Heat and stain resistant, bamboo repeat utensils will not impart any flavor or odor so they're ideal for the many flavors of lunch! Available as a set (fork, spoon, knife and chopsticks) in a carrier made from recycled PET plastic or bamboo utensils without the carrier.
Also available are stainless steel utensils. Options include the Din Din stainless spoon + fork set - flatware stored in a convenient carrying case or a set of Lunchbots cutlery (includes 2 forks and 2 spoons).
Sweat-Free Ice Packs: Ice packs are notorious for being messy and are often to blame for a soggy sandwich. What's the alternative? Kids Konserve ice pack is encased in a sweat-free cover made from recycled plastic bottles. This BPA-Free, lead and phthalate-free ice pack will keep foods safely cool until after lunchtime.
What waste-free lunchbox item are you missing?

There's little solace to be had in the wake of Wouter Weylandt's death during Stage Three of the Giro d'Italia. In cycling, the risk of crashing is an unavoidable danger, according to Giro d'Italia leader David Millar. Talking about the descent and Weylandt's crash with The Telegraph, he painted a grim picture of the sport's hazards:
"It was one of the million things that we have to go through. Our sport is very tragic at times, it has been throughout its history, but we get mixed up in a lot of stupid things in this sport.
"But the bottom line is that it's a sport that has its risks every single day."
Weylandt is far from the first cyclist to die while racing, unfortunately. And it is only recently that cycling has mandated helmets during races; after the death of Andrei Kivilev in 2003, the International Cycling Union made wearing a helmet compulsory.

Obit Blames Lawyer's Death on Stress of Law Firm Job
Posted Dec 13, 2007 9:20 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
An obituary apparently written by a lawyer's widow blames his stressful law firm job for his heart attack.
"Robert Bruce Evanick (always known as Bruce to those who loved him—and those who employed him and exploited his work ethic)—died Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 4, 2007. A massive heart attack killed him," reads the obituary published in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
"His death should be a warning to all those who believe that they are being used by insensitive employers. He deserved better, both in life and death. Bruce had been seduced into a sedentary and high-stress lifestyle after he moved to New Orleans by the promise of 'big money' from a corporate defense law firm. Essentially, his succumbing to that seduction and his devotion to duty caused his death."
A hat tip to Above the Law, which posted the obituary.

Latino Review continues their run of comic movie rumorin'. Today's rumor du jour involves the good folks at that site revealing that producers of 2015's planned "Justice League" movie have nailed down a cast of characters for the film, and are limiting the famously huge roster to five core members. We always knew Superman and Batman would be a part of the group, having their own separate franchises with this year's "Man Of Steel" and a possibly forthcoming "The Batman" on it's way. But who would join them?
If Latino Review is to be trusted, Warner Bros. hasn't yet given up on the Green Lantern, even after his movie reportedly lost millions: he'll be a member of the core five, though it's not specified if it will be Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan from the first film (we'll bet probably not). Also in the five is Wonder Woman, which no one doubted, with a fifth spot going to the Scarlet Speedster himself, the Flash. All of these characters have been rumored for their own film, so it's not a surprise to see them here, though it's interesting that the League would have a smaller roster than "The Avengers." There's also the suggestion that a "second-string" character would make a cameo appearance, with the source claiming it would be either long-time League member Martian Manhunter, the much-derided Aquaman (Vinny Chase is available) or Hawkman, who could also be in-line one day for his own movie. If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets, Warner Bros.
"Justice League" remains on-target for a summer 2015 release, though no director is onboard, and we've heard from a few sources that screenwriter Will Beall has seen his work scrapped for now (which apparently occured long before his "Gangster Squad" laid an egg at the box office). But if a five-hero crew is in the cards, and a 2013 shoot being eyed, we'd imagine casting will start soon-ish. Though if that script really does need another polish, maybe cameras won't roll until 2014. Who knows?
Meanwhile, a couple days ago Latino Review also floated the pretty obvious possibility that Marvel's "Guardians Of The Galaxy" was looking for some star-power, in the form of either Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler. The report doesn't say who either would play, though it does seem like they wouldn't be in line to be Peter Quill, the lead character for whom a host of names are competing. Carrey has already taken a supporting role in another comic project, "Kick-Ass 2," and might be more amenable to a supporting part in a big blockbuster than Sandler, though a lot depends on the role. The speculation seems likely that this could be a voicework gig, since several characters in the 'Guardians' universe will be almost entirely CGI. As for Quill, three more names were added in Wes Bentley, Chris Lowell and Cam Gigadent to a candidate list consisting of every young white leading male in Hollywood. "Guardians Of The Galaxy" opens August 20, 2014.

To voice the little raccoon thing no doubt. As dumb as this movie looks it sounds kind of fun, and Gunn knows his way around comedy. Can't say the same thing about Justice League which - if it's tonally in line with Man of Steel (as gleaned from the trailers) - is a po-faced ridiculous car wreck of a movie in the making. At least Whedon/Marvel realised you can't take movies like this seriously, unless it's about a single character, a la Dark Knight/Man of Steel etc. Put a group of them together in their silly outfits and you're in a comedy - whichever way you look at it. Take it seriouly and you are F*CKED.

Great plant so far!!
Reviewed By:
(Austin, Texas)
I was a bit concerned about ordering an exotic fruit plant but my wolfberry (goji) arrived in early March in fantastic condition. The root ball was moist and protected, and the leaves were all green, healthy, and intact. I planted it immediately in a 10" pot in basic Scotts gardening soil and put it in a spot that receives 4-6 hours of direct sunlight/day and filtered sun for the remaining day. Now, 7 weeks later, I have already had to trim it back because of the impressive growth it has shown (and to keep the shrubby shape that I desire). So far, this goji berry plant has been one of the easiest things I have ever transplanted and grown! Can't wait for it to fruit next year!

Goji grows very fast in the right conditions. All gurney plants arrive very small and frequently very light deprived as if they have been boxed for weeks. But with slow introduction to sunlight they have all done well.

Hearty plants in Denver
Reviewed By:
(Denver, CO)
Do not be discouraged by the small size Gurney's ships, my first one survived the first year and grew to be a large bush the second and produced some in the fall, it produced very heavy the entire third year and I have wild ones now growing (and producing, completely neglected). The main down side is that hornets love them too. If you have never had the berries, they are a little like cranberries only sweeter. If you like sweetened dried cranberries I would think you would like these.

My bush is doing great this Spring. It is leafing out nicely and looks strong and healthy. The stem is thick considering how small it was when it arrived. My family is very pleased with this purchase. As I said customer service was very helpful with this purchase. It was small when it arrived but that means it can be sold at a lower price.

The designer led a Big Apple workshop for hundreds of kids with life-threatening illnesses in which they created drawings to be fashioned into one-off Versace bags

It's an opportunity most fledgling designers would give anything for. Donatella Versace gave youngsters the chance to design a special one-off piece for her Italian fashion house during a fundraising art workshop in New York this week.
Hundreds of youngsters with life-threatening illnesses were asked to create drawings which will be fashioned into one-of-a-kind Versace canvas tote bags. These will be sold in the label's boutiques to raise funds for children's charities.
Supervising the mini designers was the platinum-haired designer herself, offering words of encouragement as she moved from table to table.
The craft day was the brainchild of Donatella, who wanted to set up an initiative to provide relief for needy children in both the US and China.
Last year she travelled to the earthquake-hit region of south west Sichuan in China to visit to visit a children's school and counselling facility in Sanjiang which her fashion house is supporting.The mum-of-two teamed up with The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor actor Jet Li and the One Foundation to help young people, after news of the disaster left her feeling "obliged to do something".

I don't know if you should change careers, of course; only God knows what is best for you in the future. Have you asked Him to guide you? I hope you won't lose sight of the fact that your job is a very important one. Yes, I know it can be discouraging to see people who never seem to learn from their bad decisions (pastors and other counselors face the same problem, incidentally). But not everyone is like this. Some people do learn—and every week you also help people who are the victims of accidents or illnesses they didn't cause. In other words, don't look only at the negative side of your job, but at the positive side, too.
Let me suggest you also examine your life, to see if you're letting your job burden you too much. Do you get enough exercise? Have you learned to relax and get away from your responsibilities? In the midst of almost overwhelming demands on His time, Jesus told His disciples, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest" (Mark 6:31). We aren't machines; God knows that we need times of rest. In addition, see your job as a gift from God. Yes, it may change in time—but in the meantime, ask God to help you be faithful. The Bible says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23).
Do you still want to be in the medical field? If not, try something different. I used to work for a law firm that specialized in adoptions, real estate, corporate planning, and estate planning. It was a rewarding job. Perhaps you would enjoy that.
A friend in the health care field also experienced burn out. She asked God for direction and within a few months our church has asked her to be our church nurse. God hears and answers our prayers!
