Some Vt. utilities try to put brakes on solar boomBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | August 19,2013MONTPELIER When the tiny Washington Electric Cooperative Inc. announced last week it was moving to slow the growth of customers installing solar power systems and putting their extra electricity on the power grid, it brought to the fore a battle that had been brewing for years.
The Shumlin administration, lawmakers and Vermonts largest utility have been cheering the arrival of solar energy and net metering on Vermonts electrical generation scene, while smaller municipal and cooperative utilities have been pushing back.
Net metering allows owners of solar and other renewable power generators to put their excess power on the grid and run their meter backward, reducing their monthly power bills, sometimes to zero.
Thats the rub for Washington and some other smaller utilities. They say that when net-metered customers stop paying, others are left to cover the costs of maintaining poles, wires and other operational costs. Its a warning some made during legislative debates at least as far back as 2008.
Supporters of net metering say its paying for itself in ways not always obvious to ratepayers.
Kerrick Johnson, vice president of the Vermont Electric Power Co., the company that runs the statewide large-scale transmission backbone for Vermonts utilities, said his company is legally required to be neutral about power sources.
But Johnson said power production by homeowners and businesses known as distributed generation was a big part of the reason his company had been able recently to drop plans for about $250 million in system upgrades.
These projects, in the right areas, with the right generating characteristics, enable us to not have to build transmission in certain instances, he said.
The announcement from Washington that as of Oct. 1 it would no longer take energy from residential solar systems larger than 5 kilowatts stunned renewable energy advocates who have long admired the East Montpelier-based co-ops pursuit of renewable sources for its power.
For a utility that uses methane gas from the landfill in Coventry as its main power source, and which already exceeds the state requirement for the amount of net-metered power it takes from its customers by about 50 percent, it looked a bit like an organic farmer coming out against labeling genetically modified food.
Washington officials, like those at the Johnson-based Vermont Electric Cooperative and the municipal electric department in Hardwick, say they worry that allowing some customers to roll their meter back to zero will leave others picking up the utilitys fixed costs sending crews out to fixed downed power lines in storms, running a billing department and the like.
Not collecting those costs from all members results in a cost shift to those members without net metered installations, Washingtons general manager, Patricia Richards, said in an email. As a not-for-profit electric utility, which is owned by our members, our only recourse for recovering insufficient revenue is to increase rates.
We really love renewables here, she added in an interview. This is what WEC is all about. But we need to step back and make sure were not being irresponsible financially.
Vermonts largest power company, Colchester-based Green Mountain Power Corp., is a big fan of net-metered power, the vast majority of which comes from solar installations, said spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure. She called it a great fit with the way we peak.
Demand spikes on hot summer days for Green Mountain, whose load is about a third commercial, a third residential and a third industrial. On those summer afternoons, when office workers are turning up the air conditioning, are also precisely when rooftop solar panels are producing at their maximum.
Green Mountains solar-owning net-metered customers are shipping power to the grid, and the company saves in two ways, Schnure said. It doesnt have to buy as much power off the New England grid when prices there are at their highest, and it doesnt have to run its backup diesel- and jet-fuel-fired generators as hard or as long, saving both in money and carbon emissions.
Wayne Young, board chairman with the Hardwick utility, said solar is a lot less useful to a rural utility that sees its peak loads on dark winter evenings.
Our peak is on a Sunday night at 6 p.m. in January when its 10 or 15 below, he said.
Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee and a key architect of Vermonts policy of promoting renewable energy, said he did not see a need to change course.
Vermont has gradually expanded its net metering program over the past 15 years and likely will continue to do so, he said. Its where weve wanted to head.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.

"I highly recommend Brian at Beacon." | Review of Beacon Plumbing and Heating | (206) 720-2040
Last updated 6 months ago
Talk about poor timing, when it's supposed to be really cold this weekend, our furnace decides to take a little vacation. Blowing cold air, then hot...then really cold! I called the company who been servicing the furnace since its install in '99. When the tech arrived, I initially felt he had no time for my questions - maybe because I'm a "girl" and why did I need to know these details. Anyways, after he spent some time one-on-one with the furnace, he told me that the circuit board needed to be replaced, but that he'd have to order one, and it could be "tomorrow or the next day"...and he'd be back to install it. Unable to provide me with a quote, he said he was going to leave the unit "like it is"... meaning disconnected -- i.e. not working, i.e. no heat. Remember, it's cold in here! When I asked why he said "because it will be ready for me just to install it". So, when my better half came home, he was less than thrilled to find that we had no heat. At least, prior to the tech's visit, the furnace worked part of the time. So...50 degrees inside...and cold. Gloves, hat, sweatshirt, socks...the works! After our experience, we felt strongly about not giving our business to a company that would leave us without heat. Company "A" now sent a different guy out to put the unit back together. Then I found Brian at Beacon! I have to say, if you're looking for a very nice, knowledgeable, competent and thorough service man, one who will explain everything in a way you feel you actually understand it, then Brian is your guy. Same day service, he diagnosed the problem, and went over and above and disconnected the outside hose, tested the PSI, etc. And, it's 6:30pm on a Friday night, when he'd rather be home with his family - he's working away. So, if you've ever felt that you'd like to find that one guy (or gal) that you could count on to help you with your heating or plumbing needs - I highly recommend Brian at Beacon. You can read other reviews, but remember they do a large volume of business. Personally, I don't think you'd ever go wrong with Beacon - I'd just recommend you ask for Brian! **sorry for the brevity of my review** :)Denise R.
"I've have to say Beacon lived up to its "stop freakin, call beacon" slogan. " | Review of Beacon Plumbing and Heating | (206) 720-2040
Last updated 6 months ago
Had the sewage backing up in my basement in the tub after abnormally heavy rain (even for Seattle). Yeccch! I wanted the problem fixed as fast as humanly possible. I cared about the price, though. The first company that came to my mind was Beacon. Within 90 minutes they were at my house. They cleared the line, shot a video to be sure there weren't other problems and were done in no time. I knew what they were going to charge before they started clearing the line (it was a reasonable price and I would have paid more just to get the mess fixed and cleaned up). I've have to say Beacon lived up to its "stop freakin, call beacon" slogan.Mike H.
"Great service at a good value. " | Review of Beacon Plumbing and Heating | (206) 720-2040
Last updated 6 months ago
We moved recently from Bellevue to Seattle. Our new place in Seattle had a few plumbing issues that needed looking at: a dripping shower in the master bedroom, hot water that seemed to run out too quickly, the electric furnace and the thermostat needed a check up, some dripping/leaking underneath the kitchen sink, and some overflowing on the top of the sink when we ran the dishwasher. We called Beacon Plumbing and they sent their technician Brom out. Brom arrived on time, put on shoe covers before entering our unit, and then looked at each item that needed fixing. He explained the problems and what needed to be done. Then he gave us a fixed price to do all of the work with all labor, materials and equipment included. If we approved the work to be done it was going to be covered by a 1 year warranty. We agreed to the price and then both my husband and I went about doing other things around the house. We didn't care how long it took Brom to do the work (since we knew how much it was going to cost) yet we also wanted to be able to use the shower, sink, etc., as soon as possible. Beacon got all of the items fixed, we weren't inconvenienced too long and they left everything neat and clean. If coming out that same day, being on time, doing the work at a fair price and in a professional manner matters to you, then we would recommend Beacon. Great service at a good value.Laura S.
New Review of Beacon Plumbing and Heating | (206) 720-2040
Last updated 6 months ago
It is a shame to see some of the poor reviews for Beacon because the experience I had today was no less than fantastic. Beacon is a member of two barter or trade organizations, one of Which is ITEX (International Trade Exchange). We used a combination of cash and barter to get a new furnace and coil (so we can add AC later) installed. I cannot say enough positive things about Dave A. and Mike R, not to mention Aharon, who stopped by to assist with a few duct modifications. The installation is top notch and I would recommend these two installers to anyone, regardless of the price. As an architect, I am picky and they were very accommodating of my questions and concerns. I wish I could upload a photo the installation is so neat and tidy!!Steve S.
"We are very pleased and impressed..." | Review of Beacon Plumbing and Heating | (206) 720-2040
Last updated 6 months ago
We are very pleased and impressed with the quick response today. The plumber Bo was at our house within an hour. He was here for approx 2 hrs and found that a tree root had grown through the pipe outside our house. We will definately call them again if we have problems!Jann S.

However, one more wish: it would be great if one could also access Google calendars that are not entirely public, i.e. that are only shared with specific users.
i think you can. for example my calendar is not public. when somebody is showing it the appointments are shown as busy and are not readable....
for the upcoming events module the calendar must be shared fully, thats true
i hope it helps ;-))

Of all-enshrouding death;
Nor waste in idle praise thy love
On deeds of head or hand,
Which live within the living Book,
Or else are writ in sand;
But let it be thy best of prayers,
That I may find the grace
To reach the holy house of toll,
The frontier penance-place, –
To reach that golden palace bright,
Where souls elect abide,
Waiting their certain call to Heaven,
With Angels at their side;
Where hate, not pride, not fear torments
The transitory guest,
But in the willing agony
He plunges, and is blest.
And as the fainting patriarch gain'd
His needful halt mid-way,
And then refresh'd pursued his path,
Where up the mount it lay,
So pray, that, rescued from the storm
of heaven's eternal ire,
I may lie down, then rise again,
Safe, and yet saved by fire.

Korea, 2007 (MIFF 2008, Neighbourhood Watch)
Director: Chang-Dong Lee
Lee Chang-dong's (Oasis, MIFF 03) latest epic follows a young mother's encounter with adversity and tragedy as a widow settling in a new town.
After losing her husband in a car accident, Shin-ae (played by Jeon Do-yeon, who was awarded Best Actress for the role at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival) moves with her son to start anew in Miryang, her late husband's hometown. Despite her attempts fit in, she remains an outsider to most of the townspeople, finding a friend only in the principled Jong-chag (Song Kang-ho, star of The Host, MIFF 06). Soon a second twist-of-fate turns Shin-ae's world upside down once again. Exploring the tumultuous scope of human emotion, Secret Sunshine takes us from despair to redemption and back again, as one woman confronts the worst of tragedies.

Sprint's new CEO, Marcelo Claure, has a game plan for his new company, one that will have any potential customers thinking twice before signing up for a competitor. Claure's main focus will be three areas moving forward – price cuts, network improvements, and a decrease in operational costs.
For now, price cuts will be the company's main priority, with Claure not sugar coating Sprint's position in the US carrier race. "When you have a great network, you don't have to compete on price. When your network is behind, unfortunately you have to compete on value and price." (more…)

Make Like Elsa From "Frozen": How To Let It Go At Work
There are times in our lives when things happen that are just unforgivable. It could be something unthinkable or a petty event we just can't seem to shake. Have you ever felt this way in the workplace? You aren't a bad person if you get angry, but you are missing out if you don't forgive. Here are some pointers on how to let it go on the job.

The Importance Of An Apology And How To Deal When You Don't Get One You Think You Deserve
"I apologize." "Forgive me." "I was wrong."
These are some of the shortest phrases known to mankind, but they can be the most powerful. Giving or receiving an apology can be the hardest thing to do and encounter when one is really hurt. Telling someone you're sorry for something you did wrong or for something misunderstood means that the person must lay aside their pride and admit to it, and this is not an easy thing to do. And on the other hand, receiving an apology can be bittersweet as well because hearing and accepting apologetic words or gestures causes the recipient to remember a bad time in their life that they've held on to, and they too must swallow their pride in choosing to accept it (and agreeing to let that anger go for good).
Giving an apology has its pros and cons, but nonetheless, it's important to give one when someone you care about feels hurt. Why you ask?
1. It provides closure for you that brings about a peace of mind and helps you heal wounds of guilt from within.
2. Apologies allow you to grow because admitting that you were wrong is one of the hardest things for some people to do.
3. It rights a wrong and helps to give you and the other person closure. Whether or not they are receptive of your apology, no matter when it was given, at some point they will appreciate it.
After you've given your apology the most important thing you can do (before or after it's given) is to forgive yourself and move on with your life. Why is this important?
Forgiving yourself means that you've let go of the matter and you sincerely meant your apology. Many times when we've wronged someone we are so bothered that we can't move beyond what we've done. We burry the transgression within our souls and leave it there to fester and grow, and in turn, that leaves internal scars that if left unattended, can affect our lives in more ways than one without us realizing it. So be sure that you've forgiven yourself before or after you've apologized.
Now on the flip side of things, what do you do if you believe you deserve an apology but don't get one?
1. Evaluate the situation from both sides and make sure you haven't overreacted. As adamant as we may be at times about being right, the truth of the matter is that there is a possibility that we're wrong and we do not deserve an apology, but we can't see beyond our own opinion.
2. Try your best to forgive and forget about the situation, because it's really only hurting you. This can be a difficult task because your feelings and ego may be bruised and it's not easy to forget that someone hurt you, let alone forgive them if they didn't acknowledge their wrongdoing. However, in order for you to move on with your life, you have to let go.
3. Make up in your mind that you do not need an apology in order to move past a wrong that's been done to you. The mind is a very powerful tool that controls our emotions and actions. If you have your mind set on not needing an apology, then the rest of you will follow and you will move forward.
Saying one of the short aforementioned phrases can be one of the biggest things a person can do for themselves and someone else. But if you don't receive an apology you thought you deserved, don't sweat it. Life's too short to be concerned about what someone else didn't give you and to let it hinder your growth and happiness.

Release It! 14 Reasons Why You Should Forgive
I learned at an extremely young age about wolves in sheep's clothing. I discovered how people can use you, keep you in bondage of pain and fear, and rob you of your voice so they can continue their status quo of hurting and manipulating others. By the time I reached elementary school, my little heart had hardened. I wasn't closed off from getting to know people, but if they hurt me, I held on to the pain, replayed it over and over in my head.
I felt like I needed to feel it, remember it, so I wouldn't be a victim again. I needed a daily reminder of how people were.
However, that's not a good way to live life. I realized when I was in college how detrimental holding on to grudges were. I discarded my former notion that forgiving people was giving them an open door to hurt me again, and replaced it with the knowledge that forgiving others was more so to help me, my life, my health, and my way of living.
To all those who are struggling with a grudge that's keeping you down, here's 14 reasons why you should be selfish and forgive that person, for your own good.
Ask A Very Smart Brotha: Why Don't Men Forgive Cheating Women?
Dear Damon,
This is more of a general question, not anything I'm asking because of personal experience, just something I've observed. While there countless examples of women taking men back and forgiving them after they've cheated, why does it appear to be so hard for men to do the same? You may have heard the story of the 99 year old man who divorced his wife of 77 years after he found out about an affair she had 60 years ago or even more recently T.I. scolding his wife on Instagram for posing in a bikini or taking a picture with Floyd Mayweather when his own commitment to their relationship is…questionable. I understand men and women are different creatures but why is it so hard for men to forgive these type of offenses? Do you think they men do forgive more often than we know of and they just don't talk about it like women do?
Just Wondering
I have three somewhat connected but completely separate answers to this question. For clarity's sake, I'm going to list them numerically.
1. I can't speak for all men. But I can say with confidence that if you were to poll the men of America, asking them to name the number one relationship dealbreaker, physical infidelity would be at the top of the list. I realize (most) women don't exactly love it when men cheat as well, but men (generally) are much more non-negotiable when it comes to that.
Why is this true? Well, some people will argue biology, that it's an inherent quality we (men) possess. Some argue that we've been socialized to be less forgiving. But regardless of the base reasons, the emotional reaction is what matters, and when a woman cheats on a man, it makes him feel like his manhood has been taken from him. Basically, she cheated because the other guy was able to provide something physically that he wasn't. Obviously, there are dozens of reasons — some that have nothing to do with bedroom prowess — that can contribute to a woman's infidelity, but for (most) men, that "loss of manhood" is the immediate thought. And, for many men, there's no getting over that.
2. That said…there are many men who welcome back cheating mates. They definitely exist. We just don't hear as much about them because, well, lemme put it this way: (Generally speaking) Men tend to be less vocal about cheating mates than women are. Again, I'm speaking in general terms, but when a man cheats on a woman and she finds out about it, she's going to tell everyone from her aunt to her hairdresser. If a woman cheats on a man, he's going to tell….nobody. Because, right or wrong, he knows it'll reflect badly on him. But yeah, there are a lot of men who know about their woman's cheating, but take them back and keep things discreet.
3. This subject is often brought up from a "Why can't men be more forgiving?" angle. Which is the wrong way to look at things. It's not that men should be as forgiving with cheating as some women are. No, women should actually be less forgiving.
This — the idea of "cheating zero tolerance" — is one of the few instances where I think it would help women to be more like men. Basically, instead of expecting T.I. to be more forgiving of Tiny, we need to ask why Tiny is so forgiving of T.I.
The Three Words That Will Heal You
From YourTango
For all intents and purposes, I had a great childhood. There was always food on the table, I had nice clothes, and though I was spanked, I was never beaten. I took dance lessons as a little girl, always had books to read, and graduated sixth in my high school class.
I had an all-American, Middle-Class upbringing. I know that I was more fortunate than many.
That doesn't mean, however, that I moved from childhood to adulthood unscathed.
My mother was 5 feet tall, weighed 102 pounds, and was nicknamed "Aunt Meanie" by my older cousins. They all knew not to cross my mother. She had a fun side and many people loved her. She had loyal girlfriends that remained close for more than forty years. She was also mentally ill, suffering from severe depression. I grew up on a diet of grudges fueled by her insomnia and addiction to nicotine.
My father had what I'd call a firecracker temper. He didn't anger easily, and when he did, he'd blow up and it was over. My mother did not. Yes, she was capable of flying off the handle at a moment's notice, but she had this slow burn about her, like hot coals. And just when you believed that something had been forgotten, she would bring it up again and hash through every painful detail of a perceived betrayal.
When my mother was diagnosed with cancer, there were many hours of conversation in the hospital about how terribly she had been treated during her life. She would tell me that she was good with her relationship with God and ready to go Meet Him. And moments later, she would bring up an old story, detailing who had wronged her and being clear that she was unable to forgive them.

30 Reasons To Forgive Your Partner
From YourTango
Welcome to 30 Days Of Love, our one-month initiative to bring you closer to the love you deserve just in time for Valentine's Day. Today, we're shining the spotlight on forgiveness — and its role in a fulfilling relationship.
Bernard Meltzer once said, "When you forgive, you in no way change the past — but you sure do change the future." While forgiveness isn't always easy, it's an integral part of everyone's lives; without it, it's nearly impossible to live a productive, happy life. And without forgiveness in a relationship, it's nearly impossible to have a healthy, growing partnership.
Here are some things — big and small — that you should forgive your partner for by Valentines Day.
1. Leaving the lights on. Yes, it's annoying and it drives up the electric bill, but we all sometimes let it slip our minds. Plus, he might have just forgotten because he was on his way to snuggle with you.
2. Speaking of which, don't get overly mad if he left the fridge open by accident. Close it and move on.
3. Spoiling the ending of Breaking Bad. You were going to find out the ending eventually.
4. Accidentally not introducing you as his or her partner. Yes, this can be frustrating to many people, but sometimes intros are awkward and proper "titles" don't get said; it's nothing to be too offended by.
5. The fight you had last week. This is a personal struggle for me, as I have a very difficult time forgetting recent hurtful words and tend to bring them up, which only progresses the argument further. Letting these things go allows the healing to begin.
6. Forgetting to call after he gets home from the bar.
7. Forgetting to call before bed, in general. Haven't we all had that moment where sleeping "five minutes" just seems so appealing, and we were sure waking up to talk would be easy? But then, naturally, it was not.
8. Leaving the dishes in the sink. They'll get cleaned tomorrow; it's not worth fighting over.
9. Not making the bed. See #8.

Learn How To Forgive In Your Relationship
From YourTango
With all of the problems in this world — along with the mistakes each of us make throughout our life — the need to forgive arises almost daily. However, forgiveness is often misunderstood an often not properly applied. So it's a good idea to understand what forgiveness is and what it isn't. It can bring you and those you loveto the light of a new day!
Conversely, a lack of this knowledge can hurt relationships in terrible ways. The symptoms of such hurt may take form in a wide variety of negative characteristics, most notably bitterness, envy, pride, and lust; though whatever symptom arises, it results in broken relationships. To stay away from such relational disaster, we must learn how to rightly forgive. Let's take a look at what forgiveness is all about.
Forgiveness Does Not Excuse Behavior
This is an important point; especially when you want to forgive someone for a great injustice. We must realize that granting forgiveness does not mean that the injustice wasn't grievous. When someone apologizes to you, have you ever responded, "It's OK"? I know I have. That's normal to say when you're dealing with minor infractions. But when someone abuses, cheats, lies, steals, etc., these things are not simply "OK", just because someone apologizes for them. In these situations, things may never be OK again between you and that individual… but you can still forgive, while knowing that what they did was wrong, and that it may bring consequences. This brings us to our next point.
Forgiveness Does Not Negate Consequences
Let's say I lie to my wife, but then feel guilty and apologize for lying. While she may forgive me, it doesn't mean that she trusts me. The natural consequence of my action is a loss of trust; therefore, for my wife to trust me again, I must earn her trust back. This has to do with justice, which can be pictured as an evenly balanced scale. So, if I broke trust, I must earn trust. If I was to break the law, I may still have to do the time for my crime, even though those I victimized may have forgiven me.

3 Lies Women Believe About Relationships
From YourTango
If you're anything like me and 99% of the people I know, you have an active imagination about how awesome you could be, if only… You were a lottery winner, thinner, in love, had your dream job, got divorced, became a parent, etc. We all have our stories about how there is one (or more) external factors to our happiness that we need to conquer, and then everything else will be simply amazing. As a matchmaker, I hear a lot of the following statements from singles who are looking for a loving relationship:
1. "Being in a relationship will motivate me to be more kind, forgiving, compromising, etc…"
Have you ever heard that expression, "wherever you go, there you are?" If you are unable to compromise (or only do so begrudgingly, holding on to resentment that you didn't get things your way), guess what? Finding that "perfect person" doesn't magically transform you. If anything, the vulnerability and intimacy that comes from a long-term, committed relationship only amplifies your emotions and insecurities. Relationships are amazing teachers for us, but what they reveal can only be addressed by us. If you are unkind, selfish or inflexible and you do manage to find someone who still chooses to commit to you, you will bring that same behavior into your relationship. The comedian Chris Rock has a joke warning women that when you meet a new man you are meeting his representative who says and does all the right things, but after awhile he goes bye-bye and the actual man appears. The same goes for all of us – you might be able to put certain behaviors in check when something is new, but eventually the real you will make an appearance, for the long run.

Have you been caught cheating on your partner? Even if you are both working to move past the affair, are you having trouble moving past your own shame? If so, help is on the way.
In this video, divorce coach and YourTango Expert Marina Pearson says that infidelity can be overcome in a relationship. "Learning is growth," she says. "We're not perfect and the fact that you can learn from this experience is amazing, because that way you'll get to learn more about you, improve on what you can do and actually, you can start to change and tweak things about yourself that ultimately you didn't even know you could." She shares even more advice on how to get over your guilt.

Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Kilimanjaro Sunrise'
Japanese Snowball Bush
Camellia rosthorniana 'Cupido'
Viburnum opulus
Snowball Shrub, Guelder Rose, European Cranberry Bush
Clusters of snowball flowers smother the stems of Viburnum opulus in May and June, giving way to glossy, red berries in autumn. Viburnum flowers are loved by florists for their green-tinged blooms that mature to brilliant white. This reliable, bushy deciduous shrub is cloaked in vibrant green, maple-like foliage throughout summer before autumn turns its leaves to shades of purple and red. An excellent choice for encouraging wildlife, the Snowball Bush makes a superb specimen shrub for a long season of interest, even in challenging coastal areas. Height: 5m (10'). Spread: 4m (8').More info
Prunus Collection
Prunus 'Amanogawa', Prunus incisa 'Kojo-no-mai', Prunus glandulosa 'Sinensis', Ornamental Cherry
A specially chosen collection of three pretty flowering cherries that are just perfect for bringing spring to your garden! An abundance of pink and white blossoms smother the bare branches before the leaves appear, creating an eye-catching display when much of the garden is still dormant. Come autumn the leaves turn to fiery shades of yellow, orange and red giving a long season of interest. All three varieties maintain a neat and compact habit so are ideal for low-maintenance and small gardens.
Cherry 'Kojo-no-mai'
Prunus incisa, Ornamental CherryMore info
Angels' Trumpets
Brugmansia suaveolens, Datura
Richly scented blooms. Bushy and compact. Patio feature. Height: 5m (15ft). More info
Hibiscus syriacus 'Mint Cream'
Rose MallowThis hardy, deciduous shrub is one of the last to break bud in spring - but well worth the wait! Exotic, elegant white flowers smother the dark three-lobed foliage in late summer and autumn, when many other blooms have faded. Hibiscus syriacus 'Mint Cream' will thrive on most soils but is particularly useful for tricky alkaline conditions. Rose Mallow requires little maintenance but enjoys a long, hot summer to produce the most stunning hibiscus flowers. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 2m (6',5"). More info

WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- The rise of sophomore Brittany Griffin (Rockwall, Tx / Rockwall Christian) continued Monday night. Even against the league's second toughest defense, Our Lady of the Lake University, the forward poured in a career-high 20 points.
Her effort still couldn't prevent OLLU from rolling to an 80-54 victory over Southwestern Assemblies of God University.
After blowing a late, double-digit lead in a frustrating 84-82 home loss to Wiley College on February 9, the Lady Saints have been on a mission. They played like it Thursday night in the Sheaffer Center.
For OLLU to win the Red River Athletic Conference (27-2, 20-2 in RRAC), they need for Wiley (24-3, 18-2 in RRAC) to fall once this weekend.
The Lady Wildcats close with a critical road game on Saturday at 2:00pm (CST) at SAGU, then host St. Thomas (15-13, 11-9 in RRAC) on Monday. They are favored to win both.
SAGU slipped to 9-19 overall and are 5-15 in league action. The team is currently tied in ninth place in the league with Jarvis Christian College (7-18, 5-15).
Team Lioness still has an opportunity, albeit a difficult one, to earn an invitation to the conference tournament next week.
They must win one of their two remaining games and have Bacone College (8-17, 6-14) lose one of their final two contests. Plus, Jarvis must lose to Langston University.
Griffin was the one constant throughout the game for the Lady Lions. A season after netting 10 points in sixteen game appearances, she now has 108 in 27, including 61 in the past eight outings.
The 5-foot-11 Griffin made eight of her twelve shots and all four tries from the free throw line. Her previous scoring best was 13 three days earlier in a rout against Northwood University.
She is connecting on 54% of her shots, which passes former team leader Sierra Hankins (Welch, Ok / Welch HS), who knocks down 52%.
Griffin latched onto eight rebounds in twenty-three minutes of playing time. Hankins grabbed 10 in 24, and Kassy Cox (Lufkin, Tx / Lufkin HS), who racked up 10 in 32 minutes.
OLLU was out to finish the regular season with a strong showing. After Cox scored on an offensive putback and Taylor Hill (Waxahachie, Tx / Waxahachie HS) converted two free throws, the Lady Lions had their only lead at 4-3.
Cox powered in a layup on a crosscorner pass in the lane from Bethany Krock (San Antonio, Tx / Cornerstone Christian), Southwestern trailed 10-6 with 17:13 left in the half.
By the time Okievia Bratchett (Center, Tx / Tenaha HS) assisted Griffin in the paint, OLLU had blanked SAGU for 4:59 during a 14-0 run.
The Saints' advantage swelled to 32-8 by forcing SAGU into many of their 21 first half turnovers. Fullcourt pressure led the Halos to a 46-19 margin on the strength of Nikkia Davis' 11 first half points, and nine from Mercedes Dobson.
SAGU weathered the storm and scored eight of the last nine points in the half to trail, 47-27.
Hankins zipped a pass to Cordia Harvatin (San Antonio, Tx / Stacey HS) and Andrea Lugo's (San Antonio, Tx / Somerset HS) dime to Bratchett was cashed in for a three-point dividend. Bratchett layed in a breakaway deuce to close the half.
The closest the Lions came in the second half was 62-45 at the 7:46 mark. The Saints put the game away with a 16-2 run to lead, 78-47, with 3:07 to go.
Team Purple managed to shoot 12-of-30 (40%) in the second stanza and held OLLU to 10-of-38 (26%) from the field.
Five players donning purple made between five and nine turnovers (see attached Box Score) to seal the team's fate.
Only Griffin scored in double-digits. She was 5-of-6 shooting after halftime.
Jessica Sodich (Arlington, Tx / Ovilla Christian) added nine points on 4-of-8 from the court, with Hill credited for eight points.
The Lady Lions held their own on the boards, though outrebounded by 43-38.
OLLU placed four in double-figures on offense, and had seven players contributing between eight and twelve points.
Dobson led 12, followed by Davis and Sam Offord with 11. Chelsea Solis chipped in with 10. Treshenia Solomon and Alisha Crump tossed in nine apiece and
Sophomore guard Nashae (nah-SHAY) Owens, the engine that usually drives the Saints, finished with eight, all in the first half. She leads the team in scoring at 15.8 points per game.
Home Finale on Saturday at 2:00pm
Next up for SAGU is Wiley College on Saturday. The game will be broadcast in HD on SAGU TV. The pre-game show is set for 1:45pm.
The Lady Wildcats caged the Lions, 61-50, on January 24.
Feathers in the Wiley hat are two triumphs over LSUS; 78-75 in overtime in overtime, and 77-76 in Marshall.

How "Sun Doctors" Prevent Skin Cancer
Chances are you're planning to leave your house at some point this summer. That means you need the frank, fail-proof advice top dermatologists give their loved ones.
By Lisa Mulcahy
Be protected, not paranoid
"Some people I know are so worried about skin cancer that they think they need to avoid the sun completely. I encourage everyone to live their lives while also having a healthy respect for the sun. I'd never say to a friend or relative, 'Don't go to the beach, ever.' As long as you use sun smarts, you don't have to lock yourself indoors. Just make sure you're following the sunscreen musts, and try to limit your time in the sun during its peak hours—from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That's a great time to go have a nice leisurely lunch or do some shopping anyway. While you're at it, invest in a beach umbrella and a wide-brimmed hat!" —Jennifer Lucas, M.D., dermatologic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland and a member of the American Academy of Dermatology

Weed. i think it should be legal, wut about u?
Weed. i think it should be legal, wut about u?
I think we have a thread about weed already
My Let's Plays: Earthbound - Chrono Trigger - Wario Land 4 - Mother 3 - Final Fantasy VII - Yume Nikki
No. That stuff is bad for you mmkay.
If weed makes you create a weird as hell Username, create already made thread with bad grammar, and act like a drunk clown, then no.
That kills your brain cells and you have a higher risk of dieing
You might as well shoot yourself than do that stuff
Just because weed is better than alchohol doesn't mean it is good for you. If anything, alchohol and cigarettes should be illegal.
someone pls post this picture http://thazing.com/alcohol-vs-cannabis/#.UB3P7U1lR_Q
coke is more dangerous
this is best one though: http://9gag.com/gag/2125601
Wikipedia has wonderful things.
For the people who have the belief of, " If cigarettes are legal, then why can't marijuana? " keep in mind that Marijuana is a hallucinogen that can make people see things that are not there and interpret and respond to situations in an erratic matter, which is extremely dangerous depending on the situation. Whereas cigarettes don't really harm your mindset when you're out in public.
But no, I don't think marijuana should be legalized. Same thoughts with cigarettes, alcohol, and salvia (legal in California).
Just because bad substances are legal doesn't mean even more bad substances should be as well.

California is on the verge of imposing a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags.
A bill banning plastic bags in California grocery stores, pharmacies, liquor stores and other businesses was passed on August 29 by the state legislature, and is now headed to Gov. Jerry Brown. If signed by Brown, the bill would institute the first statewide ban on plastic bags in the U.S. The bill passed by the Senate allows reusable plastic bags to be sold at grocery stores, and also allows paper bags to be sold to consumers for a minimum of 10 cents.
Cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland already have such bans in place, as do most counties in Hawaii.
If enacted, the California ban would take effect on July 1, 2015, and go into effect for convenience and liquor stores on that date a year later.
Plastic bag and paper bag producers oppose the law, saying it would kill jobs and serve as a tax on consumers. "It's disappointing that members of the Assembly voted to advance a bill that threatens 2,000 California manufacturing jobs, hurts consumers and puts billions of dollars into the pockets of grocers -- without providing any benefit to the environment," said Lee Califf, executive director of the American Progressive Bag Alliance, in a statement.

There's a certain strain of X-heads, particularly of the rockcrit bent, that consider every latter-day solo project of that band's frontman, John Doe, a snooze and washout. Yet they are woefully wrong. Yes, it never hurts his draw that younger, post-punk generations have become clued in to Doe primarily via the eclectic appearance of his oh-so-handsome visage at the cinema. But few recent artists, in or out of his genre, have had as great a run as Doe's between 2002's Dim Stars, Bright Sky and last year's A Year in the Wilderness. The meeting of his intimate verses with flights of keening voice makes this concert a must-see. And, hey, there's sumptin' for the boys, too, since Canadian country-rocker Kathleen Edwards is riding shotgun on this tour. Edwards dropped her stellar Asking for Flowers not too long ago, and thus should be in rare form.
