Las Vegas welcomed its 40 millionth visitor on Sunday, making 2014 a record year.
At least, it thinks it welcomed that person. No one really knows exactly when the milestone will be reached or whether it already has.
But entertainers including Penn & Teller randomly surprised tourists with prize packages, and Teller picked out two women from Texas strolling through the Linq promenade on Sunday as the ones that put Las Vegas over the top.
"We're supposed to know exactly who the 40 millionth is because Teller was supposed to count," Penn Jillette said.
"He was counting from the beginning of the year and then he lost count at 39 million so now we know that someone in this area now is probably the 40 millionth."
The women were awarded makeovers at a local salon.
Reaching 40 million visitors a year has been an elusive target for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
The recession hit the leisure travel and convention segments hard. The previous peak -- 39.73 million visitors --...Read more
Got holiday cheer? You and almost 95 million Americans travelers will need lots of it to sustain you through road traffic and airport security checkpoints between Dec. 23 and Jan. 4.
AAA reports that 4% more of us than last year will be traveling at least 50 miles from home to celebrate the holidays. It's the highest travel volume predicted since the Auto Club began making forecasts in 2001.
Here are some more numbers worth noting as you make travel plans:
--91% of holiday travelers nationwide will be taking a road trip.
--5.7 million travelers nationwide will be flying to their destinations.
--1.1 million drivers will require a AAA rescue for dead batteries, flat tires and getting locked out of your car.
--the cost of hotels are up 4% to 5% over last year, and car rentals have increased 4% to an average $66 a day.
--lowest gas prices in five years show an average $2.55 a gallon.

What's the upside to harvesting grapes in freezing temperatures? Icewine, of course, and Canada's Niagara Falls area celebrates with a festival held over three weekends in January.
Those intent on sampling the chilly good stuff should buy a pass that saves 50% on the cost of individual tastings.
The deal: The Niagara Icewine Festival will mark its 20th year in 2015. During the wintry harvest, grapes aren't picked until temperatures plummet to around 18 degrees.
Regardless of when the harvest begins, the festival goes on.
More than 35 winemakers in Wine Country Ontario open their doors for tastings and specialties such as peaches and triple-cream brie tartlet paired with a 2013 Vidal Icewine, or icewine marshmallows to be roasted over an open fire.
Buy a Discovery Pass for $40 Canadian ($34 U.S.) and you can sample wine and food at eight stops along the Wine Route. You'll take home a souvenir wine glass too. (Download a Discovery Pass Guide for a description of each winery.)

Getting out of bed on a Sunday morning can be a drag, but it's worth it for Vegas visitors who want a unique brunch with entertainment dished up by a troupe of drag queens.
"Rouge & Booze – A Drag Brunch" makes its monthly appearance Sunday at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Café beside the giant guitar at Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue adjacent to the Hard Rock Hotel.
The brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the show starts at 11. The "girls," who go by names such as Kitty Litter and Ida Slapther (say that one aloud), sing and dance, and there is audience participation.
Menu items include chicken and waffles, a South of the Border breakfast skillet and hazelnut brandy French toast. Bottomless mimosas cost $20.
Starting in January, the drag brunch will be the second Sunday of each month (Jan. 11, Feb. 8 and so on).

Tour operators said they expect to see an uptick in the number of Americans who want to visit Cuba after President Obama announced Wednesday that the United States would reestablish diplomatic ties with the island nation.
"The phones today have been ringing off the hook since Obama took to the airwaves," said Peggy Goldman of Friendly Planet Travel. And the volume of visits to her social media posts about Cuba has multiplied.
Some callers didn't realize that Americans have been able to travel to Cuba on what are called people-to-people exchange trips that are regulated by the U.S. Treasury. Her company leads trips to Havana and other parts of the island.
Katharine Bonner, vice president of Connecticut-based travel company Tauck, also said she expects interest in Cuba to increase.
"This news will make [trips] even more popular because one of the allures of Cuba is that it has been isolated," Bonner said. "Once that isolation falls away, you're going to see American brands there and more...Read more

- 1Oct 1, '12 by benincasaQuote from sweetfIt just depends on the term. Every terms acceptance date is different. I know there have been terms that found out after the 30 day window had passed... With all the changes this term I wouldnt be surprised if we didn't know til the end of the 30 days at least. Just keep your fingers crossed.. I am hoping for a good outcome for all of us.I know if I'm accepted I will have a different registration date than the normal students. I just want to know that way I don't have to worry about it... Also January '12 they found out on the same day registration was open I believe.
- 0Oct 1, '12 by YourSoulVainI'm getting so nervous lol. Somewhere, some lady is staring at my life on a piece of paper and deciding my fate. I kinda just want to lay in bed checking my account every hour until something changes. :O
For those who get in, don't forget a notebook and something to write with when you go to your acceptance orientation within the next few weeks. I've heard from plenty of people that you should write down everything they say and make a calendar for yourself. They will tell you all about the program, the dates for important events, and the list of things you will need to do before you start.
We have a long list of immunizations, drug screens, and background checks to go through. We're almost thereeeeeeeee. A lot of us will meet for the first time at the orientation so don't be nervous to say hi when you're there.
I guess for now we should just get some rest and relax, which is near impossible for me lol.
- 0Oct 1, '12 by YourSoulVainAlso, I wouldn't worry about the winter registration opening. No one can get into those classes unless they are accepted nursing majors so we won't be in competition for registration except amongst ourselves, to be frank lol.
- 0Oct 1, '12 by BCangel2bRNI hope, I will get in. My HESI was in 90's and GPA 4.0... so I should get in.
Advising told me today, that MAC1105 might or might not be needed for us to graduate. The answer will be known next week. I hope, we don't have to take it. Nursing prog. is enough work itself. Good luck to all.
- 1Oct 1, '12 by RNbound2013I read a 2011 thread in which people posted their "pre-admission status" on Oct. 5. The website states that we'll know 3 weeks after the deadline (Sept.15), which means that we MAY know their decision by this Friday!!!!!
God-willing we all get in! In Jesus' name!!!Last edit by RNbound2013 on Oct 1, '12 : Reason: missed info
- 0Oct 1, '12 by lina_marcela07Anyone attending central?
- 0Oct 1, '12 by StephanieMC12Quote from lex7626South goes to the different Memorial hospitals and Central goes to Westside Regional and Broward General. North goes to Holy Cross, North Broward, and a few others I can't remember. I asked around a couple of days agoDoes anyone know which hospitals each campus uses for clinicals?
- 5Oct 2, '12 by laquain99Hi I'm a nursing student at North Campus. I know its stressful and nerve racking to see if you've been accepted. A word of advice if admissions say you'll know by the 15th you will know on the 15th and not a day before. Also if your not accepted don't. Worry they always do a second round of letters are sent out two weeks after the 15th. Many students either defer or decline their seats.
When you do get accepted my best advice is buy th Perry and Potter fundamentals of Nursing book. Out of pocket don't wait for financial aid. Its a lot of reading in th program and if you can get a headstart then ready set go! It will be worth every dollar once you start! Exam 1 covers vital signs,health assessment,saftey,hygiene,documentation and nursing process! Told you its a lot! Get the book start reading you'll be glad you did!!!!! Another nugget of advice testing is not anything you've done before its all critical thinking! Do the review questions at the end of the chapters! good luck!!

Seattle director Megan Griffiths on her new film "Lucky Them"
The number one question director Megan Griffiths gets asked in the Q&As that follow festival screenings of her latest film Lucky Them is this: How did you get [Very Famous Actor] to be in your film?
Very Famous Actor has a small but hugely-important cameo in Griffiths' movie about a female rock journalist (Toni Collette) in search of a musician who has dropped off the face of the earth. That musician also happens to be her ex-boyfriend, whom she is not over — even though it's been 10 years.
Very Famous Actor plays the musician and we finally meet him at the very end of the movie in a scene that's painfully familiar to anyone who has ever suffered a broken heart. (Watch how Collette exquisitely transmits both heartache and shock.)
"In this context, when you're not expecting to see [Actor], it's like Oh!" explains Griffiths. "It gives you that very weird feeling." The very same weird feeling that Ellie (Collette) experiences. "Just to have any approximation of what she's going through," Griffiths continues, gives Lucky Them audiences "a slightly better filmgoing experience."
So even though The Actor's name is out there (see IMDb), and Griffiths knows that dropping it would help draw audiences to her film, and she's fine with me saying who it is . . . why ruin the experience?
"I want the movie to succeed," she says. "I just want people to go to it."
And you should, because this is Griffiths' highest-profile project, cementing her national and even international reputation as an intelligent filmmaker. (Lucky Them world premiered to a standing ovation at last fall's Toronto International Film Festival.) Plus, Griffiths is a homey, one of us.
"The [NW] people, the scenery, the weather, even in its moods, they all feed me creatively," says Griffiths, who has lived in Seattle for the past 14 years. "I just like being in this space. I don't feel like I'm fed that way when I'm in New York or in LA. I've spent significant time in both places, but it's always a relief when the plane lands in Seattle."
Griffiths is 39. She lives in Ballard. When I ask her to choose a "very Megan Griffiths" location for our meeting, she picks the Puerto Rican restaurant La Isla. She's a huge fan of their tostones cups with salsa, a dish she craves if she's out-of-town for too long. She arrives in jeans and a baseball-style T-shirt. (It's actually the crew shirt for her movie).
"I'm headed to a Mariners game tonight," she offers. "My first!"
She wears a lucky charm around her neck, a dog tag engraved with a jagged scrawl that looks like an audio file. Which it is. The scrawl represents a sentence recorded by Griffiths. She explains: "I found a journal that I had been writing in when I was in college (University of Idaho), and I found an entry where I wrote: I am going to be a filmmaker. It was one of those things where it was earlier than I would have thought that I would be that decisive about making that choice. So I consider that date an anniversary of sorts and this is me (she shows me the dog tag) saying that date."
Lucky Them is Griffiths' fourth feature film, although she's played various behind-the-scenes roles on several other movies over the years. At SIFF 2012, she earned praise and buzz for Eden, a harrowing look (and very good film) about a young woman kidnapped into the sex trade.
"Eden was released theatrically but it did most of its business in the VOD (video on demand) world," she says. "Getting people to go see it was the hard part. Honey, do you want to go see a movie about human trafficking? It's a very worthwhile, very valuable film, but I do realize it's not for everyone."

Score from 420 reviews Excellent
This hotel is quite close to SFO airport and yet better value than all the big chains. Great service and good facilities.
The place is beautiful. Every detail of that place is updated and gorgeous. Makes every other hotel Ive been to look shabby lol. They put an extra touch into alot of things. Close to the airport but didn't notice and serious noise from planes or street. They even upgraded our room for free upon arrival. And FREE convenient parking. Dont know if I have anything bad to say
I honestly can't think of a thing id change. Maybe that I wish the hot tub was open 24hrs lol but they even offered to keep it open an hr or so later for us if we wanted. Otherwise its open till 10I believe, which is normal so NO COMPLAINTS and that's rare
Very fun décor in the room, nice comfy beds, beautiful interior of the hotel and pleasant staff.
The walls between units are not at all soundproof and our neighbors were very loud until we knocked on the wall. Also, lots of traffic noise at the front of the hotel kept us awake for awhile.
Everything! Comfort, quiet, clean, frendly and professional staff, spa! Thanks!!!
The fact that it was our last night in San Francisco. If not, we certainly book another night at tha place!
Th inn keeper was a great guy, friendly and helpful. Had a nice glass of Napa Cab. The room was large and had new plumbing, and it was clean. Nice big bed. Parking worked out good, near the elevator. Super Hot Tub! OK self service breakfast with Starbucks Coffee.
A bit noisy, El Camino Real is a very busy street and you are pretty close to the airport. But...I will be back.
Loved the character of the hotel, close to airport, great helpful staff, nice touch with complimentary glass of wine.
Not a nice view of furniture store on main street.
It was a "diamond in the rough" - surrounding community is not that upscale but the hotel was pleasureable and very close to airport.
Great room, good value, no complaints
The rooms were beautiful the whole place was really nice! We were staying here for a weekend soccer tournament, after the first day some of the players came to our room for some pizza and we had a great time and the staff was friendly and courteous to all of us which was very Cool! We will stay here again! James M.
The room was very nicely appointed. Nice comfortable chairs and sofa. Everything was spotless! I'd say it was one of the nicest hotels at which we have stayed. Nice bathroom with good appointments.
Next time I would request a room in back of the hotel to avoid the traffic noise.
Very friendly, helpful staff. Well maintained and very clean. Quiet and inviting atmosphere. Great spa. Nice breakfast. Free shuttle to airport - or free parking. Close to BART for going into the city.
All was well with the exception of the air conditioner located above the bed.
The air conditioner/heater located above the bed on the right side of the bed. Air was directed at the bed.
room very comfort - location just near the airport. good breakfast. Staff are great and kind.
Nice staff.
Nothing much,
We had to catch an early flight the next day. This place is only 7 min. drive from the airport. For touring - it takes about 35 min. drive to the city which is also ok (during the weekend!).
The cleaning lady came only in the afternoon when we were already back from town so we asked her not to clean the room. Would be better if the room cleaning was done in the morning
Cost, comfortable bed
Room had a stale smell, street noise
If my husband and I could give this stay 10 stars we would. Every one was so nice and helpful. Its not far from downtown San Francisco and using uber or lyft its very easy to get to. It was so quiet and the rooms were so clean. My husband and I do workout and the fitness room needs a little work but that's the only down fall... We will definitely be back!!!!!!
Friendly and helpful staff large bedrooms very comfortable bed large bathroom pool and sauna beautifully decorated underground free car parking location great - good restaurants nearby near airport and free transfer
can't think of anything at all!
Tea and coffee available all day. Breakfast facilities good too. Very central too.
No resteraunt on site.
Staff very friendly. Beautiful Mediterranean decor, excellent value for price and they included the Wifi and taxi to the airport. Wonderful
Brand new hotel. Very convenient to the airport. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Easy to get to.
Parking lot has insufficient space when hotel is full. Breakfast was a bit light. More choices would have been nice.
I was there visiting some friends in the city. It was me my husband and our 6 month old. I lived the hotel. It was clean, everyone was so nice
Nice decor; got in late and were offered tea and wine.
Room was a bit musty at first until air was turned on. Room a bit small for family of 4
The hotel is just a short cab ride away from SFO. They offer a free pick up / drop off. On arrival just call and a cab is sent. BART is about a 15 to 30 minutes walk away, depends if you are a power walker or take it more easy. Including the train, consider about an hour to be at the ferry building in SF. Worked perfect for me. Arrived lunch time and managed to spend the rest of the day at the wharf before heading back to the hotel, having a good rest before catching the flight early next morning.
Comfortable boutique hotel extremely close to San Francisco Airport. Well appointed room, nicely decorated and very quiet- even with air traffic. We would definitely use this hotel again.
Internet a little slow, but so what. We were on vacation.

Facilities in Kuthambakkam and Minjur to be ready in 18 months
By the second half of 2014, solid waste generated in the city may no longer be transported to Kodungaiyur and Perungudi dumping yards.
As proposed by the Chennai Corporation, work will soon begin on solid waste management plants in Kuthambakkam and Minjur in the outskirts of the city.
Once the project is completed, over 2,500 tonnes of garbage from the southern zones of the city will be transported to the facility in Kuthambakkam. Another 2,000 tonnes from the northern parts of the city will be taken to the Minjur plant.
This is part of the Corporation's three-pronged integrated solid waste management initiative that comprises improved conservancy operations in the city, setting up garbage recycling factories in the outskirts and reversing the damage done to Kodungaiyur and Perungudi dumping yards.
The State government has now given administrative sanction to the Corporation's initiative.
On January 18, the civic body will hold a pre-bid meeting for setting up the waste management plants. The facilities in Kuthambakkam and Minjur will be readied in 18 months or less, a Corporation official said.
The design and mode of operation of the waste management plants will also be decided at the January 18 meeting.
As many as 16 companies are expected to participate.
The third component of the waste management initiative — remediation and scientific closure of Kodungaiyur and Perungudi dumping yards — will be undertaken after the new facilities commence operation.
The technology adopted by the new plants will not pollute neighbourhoods around Kuthambakkam and Minjur, an official of the Chennai Corporation said.
The civic body's existing garbage handling practices have drawn flak in recent times. Air and groundwater pollution apart, on more than one occasion, fires have broken out in the existing dumping yards putting the lives of residents in danger.

Olympics: Women's Figure SkatingForget about the Shani-nigans of the speed-skating feud, Lindsey Jacobellis' fall from grace and Bode's disappointing body of work. Figure skating is the premiere event of the Winter Games, even without Jillian Barberie and Todd Bridges. And last night's free skate presented Sasha Cohen with the chance to become America's next golden girl.
The night's memorable moments:
Kiira Korpi, Finland: Why do I have a feeling we'll be seeing this girl in Maxim sometime soon? In the words of Dick Button, "My goodness!" Extra hot points for skating to "Fever."
Yelena Sokolova, Russia: Redeems herself from Tuesday's short program, when she had a Chernobyl-size meltdown. Why is it that all Russian skaters and gymnasts look like '80s New Jersey mall chicks?

Olympics: Women's Figure SkatingLike your average Winter Olympics fan, I was hoping the figure skating in Torino (Turin, to you Shroud fans) would feature the Wrath of Kwan, with Michelle finally capturing the elusive gold medal. That was not to be, so all the U.S. pressure falls on Sasha Cohen, who should definitely be played by Alexis Bledel in any potential future TV-movies (the Shaun "Flying Tomato" White gig will, naturally, go to Carrot Top.) Let's just hope the ladies' programs go smoother than the ice-dancing competition, which featured more crashes than your average drivers-education movie.

1. Heiden's Fantastic Five — Lake Placid 1980In the speed-skating equivalent of running — and winning — a sprint, a mile, a marathon and nearly everything in between, Eric Heiden achieved what fellow Olympian Dan Jansen calls "the single greatest feat in the history of sports." Hard to disagree. Looking more superhero than mere mortal in his skin-tight uniform, the thunder-thighed skating machine collected five individual gold medals, setting four Olympic records and smashing a world record in his last event, the grueling 10,000-meter race, by more than six seconds. His incredible accomplishment has never been duplicated.

"Bully" Rating Updated to PG-13
April 6, 2012 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
The battle over the anti-bullying documentary's rating has finally come to an end.
On Thursday the Motion Picture Association of America tacked a PG-13 rating to Bully, in effect making the film accessible to a much wider audience.
"We are getting so much interest to see the film, and this makes it much easier for schools to get behind it," Director Lee Hirsch said about the lowered rating in an interview with Reuters.
Initially, the Motion Picture Association of America gave the documentary an "R" rating, meaning most schools would be unable to screen the film. It also limited our nation's youth, many of whom face a tough culture of bullying, hate and violence, from seeing the film without adult supervision.
The filmmaker and studio behind the documentary lobbied MPAA ratings board to change the rating. When MPAA refused, the Weinstein Company moved forward with an "unrated" version for last weekend's limited release in Los Angeles and New York.
Bully's honest look into schools is a powerful tool in finally putting an end to bullying. The powerful documentary will reach theaters nationwide on April 13.

|Okay. Believe me, I'm not naive - I know what mint can do. The one patch I have is in the middle of my lawn where it can be controlled by the mower. But we just put in a new fence (4 foot picket in the front and 6 foot stockade in the back) and I have this HUUUUGE space in front of the stockade that's just crying out for a nice big bed and I started to imagine how good it would smell if there was a large patch of chocolate mint in part of it. So I thought, what if I planted a whole bed of thugs? Chocolate mint, gooseneck loosestrife, Six Hills Giant Nepeta, bee balm, obedient plant... Maybe a honeysuckle climbing the fence? Do you think the mint would still crowd everything out? I need suggestions from anyone who has ever actually, purposefully planted uncontained mint and ended up with a bed of more than just mint, and anyone who swears that they know of plants that could hold their own with mint. The area gets about 6 hours of afternoon sun, it's backed up by a stockade fence.
I'm also considering the idea of growing chocolate mint as a ground cover - putting a shrub border and underplanting with mint. Anyone tried that? Or how about a mint lawn?
This is cross posted to the perennials and cottage garden forums because I'm hoping for wide range of responses.
Thanks in advance!
Follow-Up Postings:
|WHile mint will go anywhere with abandon, I haven't found that it really impedes the growth of anything.... just looks ugly poking up in the middle of some other plant. I go through these beds a couple times a year with the weedwacker and chop the mint down to the ground.
|If you're looking for thugs that can easily compete with mint and you don't might some height, valerian will grow 6 foot at the back of your fence and provide great white cut flower heads. So far this year, the feverfew at 3 foot is holding it's own against the spearmint that's growing around it. If you want mostly green with very small flowers, horseradish will way out compete mint once it gets going. I'll know soon enough if sorrel will stand up to it since the mint is heading that way.
Another thing you can do is play with the timing. My daffodils, tulips and violets are up and done before the mint gets going and the daylilies are tall enough by that time that the mint doesn't overrun them ... they weren't originally interplanted but the mint took a notion to wandering in that direction and they all seem happy.

|I put chocolate mint in 2 years ago. Biggest mistake I ever made! While it smells SO good, it is SO hard to get rid of. Now, I will only plant in containers. The trade-off is well worth it to me.

|I LOVE mint and have several 18" containers with different varieties, chocolate being one of them. They can be as invasive as they want, 'cause I've got them contained! :-)
I have a lime mint plant in a very large pot that has grown very bushy and I can imagine if planted in the ground would become lush and fill an area. It's already lush and full as it is, and I love the way it looks.
Also, for a low ground cover, something nice is Corsican mint. Very bright green, tiny tiny leaves, ground moss like growth, dense and when walked upon releases the wonderful smell of mint. It need not be walked on, it's nice on its own. I have it planted around my lavendar. It's a nice backdrop to the purple.
|A thug garden sounds like a great idea. I squished so many things in a spot next to my house, the mint is actually receeding. It's got a juniper bush,mint, strawberries, daylillies and MANY MANY weeds, I am sorry to admit.
|I've discovered that overwatering mint kills it, or at least makes it go dormant for a year. Or that's what seemed to happen to me.
My mint is growing along with strawberries, nasturiums, spearmint, tulips, some unidentified blue wildflower-like thing, and two columbine plants (the last being an unexpected and not-very-wanted gift from a friend). It seems to be doing fine and so is everything else (I'm not so sure about the columbine, but I'm not familiar with their growing cycle).
If you plant a thug bed, make dang sure that you have a good barrier around **every** part of it to keep it contained. And it might be a good idea to consider what you'll have to do to get rid of it, if you change your mind a few years down the road.

|I am letting several mints spread with abandon.
The chocolate mint looks weedy but I love the smell.
I have others but cannot remember their names. None of them has caused me any major problem but that is probably because I love them all and enjoy mowing over them.

|We bought a house years ago that once had a very large garden. Some mint was still growing in the grass down near the woods, in the shady area. It did not bother us, there was such a large yard. I gave off a great scent when mowed.

|The only other "Thug" that I can think of that will take over mint is Missouri Primrose. I started with one small start 3 years ago and it literally took over a whole garden. This spring I pulled out as much as I could and even used a pitch fork to pull up the roots. I'm sure it will return next year! But will keep it check from now on. The mint is making a wonderful comeback! Hooray!, because it's that time of year when I need mint for Teas and Mojitos and Jelly for grilled Lamb.
|I have an interesting corner that could be described as a "thug garden," which is such a wonderful term. My hope was to create a wild raspberry patch. However, a volunteer mint has crept in, and the two are locked in a Darwinian life/death struggle, though neither seems to have the upper hand just yet.
Here's a link to a post where I have a photo of the mint. Gurly, does this look like your curley mint? That's my current best guess about what it is.

|I have done something with chocolate mint, heh heh. We are on what used to be a prairie, and we tend to burn things ... and we burned off the chocolate mint, and it took a long time to come back. It REALLY did not like being burnt off. It took like 3x as long to come back in a place where we *like* it, LOL.
So if you can burn and you want to, you can offend/hurt chocolate mint if you desire.
|We just moved into a house with a huge round bed in front. It is completely run over by grass & some sort of mint that is green on top of the leaf and purple underneath. What is it? Also, I saw the house last year and it had coneflowers in that same bed.. I have 3 different kinds of coneflower -type stalks, and can't tell which are weeds and which is the coneflowers? any suggestions?
| busyb813,
I believe that "green on top of the leaf and purple underneath" mint is purple perilla (aka asian mint). I'm actually interested in planting it in my herb garden, but after all the stories of mint taking over, I think I'm going to leave it in a pot.

|A picture is worth a thousand words. Post a photo of the plant(s) in question for best identification help from us.
|I actually planted chocolate mint on the hill behind my house last year. There was nothing but Ivy, fruit trees and ground cover around it and I didn't care if it spread. It did spread but as the Ivy and periwinkle took over the area, it almost choked out the mint. I had to go up there and remove the periwinkle and Ivy from around the mint to let what little is left of it survive.
It makes me think that maybe an invasive groundcover may be able to get rid of or at least control the mint, but the periwinkle seems much harder to get rid of. It must have self seeded from prior years cause it wasn't there when I moved in.
When the mint was spreading really well, it would give off a wonderful sent when the dogs ran through it up there. I really like having it, even if it does spread.

|I have a dry-shade area under a Californian pepper tree that needs some growth. I've heard that mint can tolerate dry shade and i want to try it. The problem is, my dogs often run through the area to chase birds. Will the mint stand up to that as well or should I give up on planting anything there?
|It might be OK if you water it while it is establishing itself. I tried some mint in dry shade without this simple precaution and it died out rather quickly. Just try a few plants to begin with. Possibly you could use some of the water-retentive substance they sell in garden shops to give it an initial boost.
Established mint should not be bothered that much by dogs running through it. It can be a fairly tough plant once it gets going.
As for things that trump mint, my vote is for Yellow Archangel. (It will also trump English ivy, in case anyone is interested.)
|I have 3 small dogs that run through my mint all day long. Not only that, but one of the dogs seems to like to have a nibble at it after he finishes his dinner every day. The mint is not bothered by it and mine is chocolate mint which is supposed to be a more sensitive variety.
|Here's a lesson learned the hard way: do NOT try to get rid of mint by tilling. OY!!!!!
I read a mint/limeade recipe not too long ago that sounded really good. Now that the mint is up high enough to harvest, do you think I can find the stupid recipe?!? I remember that you steeped the mint and strained it then used the mint water with lime juice, but can't remember proportions, nor whether the sugar was boiled with the mint or stirred in with the lime juice. Anyone have a recipe?

|Ania: Thanks for the great advice. I'm going to get some cuttings and see if i can make them grow there.
I also appear to have a squirrel that moved into the neighborhood and i heard spearmint oil is good for keeping them away (he keeps eating my cucumber leaves) does anyone know if a spearmint plant will work in the same way?
|ediej: is this the recipe you're looking for?
Here is a link that might be useful: Mint Limeade - MyRecipes.com
|I do a quickie version of mint limeade using limeade concentrate that I throw into the blender with a good, tall stalk of spearmint. Like no-alcohol mojitos. Love it.
Never used a recipe for lemonade or limeade, myself-- details like when to add the sugar don't seem to matter much. You just have to stir a little more if you add sugar instead of simple syrup. But if you make a simple syrup with the mint, you can store the extra in the fridge for a while.
Everyone has different tastes-- some like it sweeter or more sour, stronger or weaker. Just start with some of your juice and add a little of this and a little of that till it tastes good to you. It's hard to mess it up.
I have a massive crop of banana mint right now-- banana mint limeade, anyone?

|If anyone wants to get rid of any spearmint, chocolate or banana mint I would gladly pay for postage! I love mints! :)
|Growing a thug garden sounds like an interesting experiement. I'd love to see how that turns out!
I think it may be too hot and/or dry around here for mint to be very invasive. The only mint patches I see are in shady spots, spots around water spigots, etc.
I don't think I'd mind having a mint lawn at all, but I seriously doubt the mint could win against the Bermuda grass.
|I love my spearmint patch.. friends (so far) enjoy the 'extras' I dig up and pass along. Can't believe I've never seen seeds for any of the other mints mentioned here.. especially chocolate.. nor any starts in any nurseries... Sorry for the dumb question.. where can I find seeds (or starter plants)?
My dog and I anxiously await your response!

|Chocolate mint cannot be grown from seeds. It is a type of peppermint, which is a sterile hybrid. Most mint seed offered by seed companies is spearmint-even those labeled as peppermint. Spearmint is extremely variable and when grown from seed is usually inferior to the named mints which have to be propagated asexually (from cuttings or division).
There are lots of mail order nurseries that sell mint. There are tons of posts on the herb forum dealing with growing mint-try searching the forum.

|I have successfully grown mint close to a tall stockade-type fence in two different yards in this zone. The fence limits the hours of direct sun, thereby inhibiting the mint from spreading too much. As long as there is rain, the mint lives and grows without really taking over. Then again, I am not lawn proud, and if it spreads a bit into the lawn, the mower takes care of it along with the other invasive lawn plants. And the dog can run through it without doing much damage. Good luck with your mint venture!

Defending champion Andy Murray paid tribute to his former coach Ivan Lendl after recovering to beat Australia's Matthew Ebden in the second round of the Sony Open in Miami.
The Scot lost the first set before going on a run of winning 12 out of 13 games en route to a 3-6 6-0 6-1 triumph but admitted he must now find a way to win without the Czech's assistance.
Lendl helped Murray break his major title duck at the 2012 US Open before adding last year's Wimbledon title, having also won Olympic gold at London 2012 in SW19, but the pair announced an amicable split ahead of the Miami tournament due to conflicting schedules.
"It was very different without him, it's been a hard few days," Murray told Sky Sports.
Big part
"He's been a big part of my career and to not have him around is going to be tough, but I just need to get on with it now and try to get back to playing my best tennis."
Reflecting on the match itself, he added: "He (Ebden) was playing well at the net in the first set.
"I had six break points, I think, but I couldn't convert. But I played better in the second and third set.
"I got broken right at the beginning of the third set, I played a sloppy game and needed to fire myself up, but I turned it around after that and won six games in a row."

Losing the last few pounds slowly?
I've been thinking about this and in the past I've usually gone gung-ho towards my weight loss goals, and while I always make it I've rebounded almost as quickly because either the habits never got a chance to stick, or my body never stayed at one weight long enough to establish a "reset point".
This time, I'm taking a more relaxed approach to my fat loss, and if I lose an average of 1-3 pounds a week by combining JUDDD and high intensity workouts 6 days a week I'll be very VERY happy.
Because changing my body composition and keeping the weight off for good is such a big issue for me this time around I'm thinking to deliberately take the last 20 pounds off really slowly....like 1 pound a week and no faster than that. I'll be 2/3rds into my weight loss progress at that point. During that phase I also plan to workout with more resistance with a goal of gaining a bit of muscle and reshaping my body.
If it means I have to eat up to 40% - 50% on my DD's to slow the weight loss down I'll do it. I just feel like taking the loooooooong scenic route to my ultimate goal weight will be best for stabilization purposes, hard wiring these new habits into my brain and life and ensuring optimal body composition.
Has anyone else thought of doing this? Deliberately dragging out losing your last few pounds on the road to maintenance? Am I just nuts for thinking like this? :p
Any feedback welcomed! :)
I only lost 1 pound a week or less so to me that is normal. So dragging out the last few pounds was just the way I did it. HAve no idea which way is best and I would guess it is a very individual thing. I was not and am not in a hurry so it worked for me.
I agree with your thinking that for you losing slower might be best given the reasons you stated and you think you can accomplish this with exercise and 40 - 50% calories. And I think experimenting with the calories and exercise when the time comes will let you know if your body agrees with the plan. :)
I am losing right now on JUDDD faster than my usual dieting. I am very happy with my progress, but considering I have never maintained - I have given thought to the idea that slower might be better, but not enough thought to try to slow down what is happening pretty much effortlessly. I'm trying to change my mindset to believe JUDDD will work - and leave well enough alone till and IF it doesn't.
Good luck on your journey. We each must do what we feel is best, listen to our bodies and stay healthy! :)
For many people, weight loss automatically slows down as you get closer to goal. For others, they have to slam on the brakes at maintenance because they just keep losing without wanting to (lucky!).
I took several "maintenance breaks" during WLM and it worked well for me. I think it's important to let your body adjust to your new, lower weight along the way. My natural inclination was to take a break when my loss was slowing down anyway, and I've since read that it's beneficial to do so. That does not mean going off plan, just eating at maintenance levels for a few weeks or a month or whatever.
I'm now in maintenance, but wouldn't mind losing a few more inches, if not pounds. The problem is that as I lose more weight, I'm not losing it where I want to. So, for me, I'm going to try to maintain where I am for a while and see what happens with my body composition. Then, if things still aren't going the way I want them to, I'll rethink it.
In essence, since January I've maintained for a few months, lost a little bit, maintained again, and may lose again, so that's a very slow loss at close to goal. :laugh:
I know when I was on Atkins, the plan was to stay in induction until you had about 15 pounds left and then you'd start upping your numbers as you approached goal. The idea behind it being that you are able to adjust to staying at goal weight slowly, but you can still lose the bulk of it quickly in the beginning. It makes perfect sense to me! :D
I don't think I'm going to have any choice in the matter. I lost 8 - 10 pounds a month for quite awhile, but it has slowed down considerably the past few months and I still have 55 pounds to goal. I have the feeling I'll be turtling it down those last pounds when I get there.
Noooooooo, I want to race to the finish!!!! :D Hahahaha, I'm going slow now, so I'll probably be just as slow getting to goal. It sounds like a sensible plan to me.:up:
I lost the last 10lb from 136-126 as fast as I lost the first 10lbs. I went into maintenance in early February at 126.8 and on July 7th I went back into WLM at 126.9. I saw 122.8 a couple days ago, but as of tonight am at 123.5. Not bad for less than 3 weeks considering these are very much "vanity" pounds. I figure my weight loss will be 80% the effort I put into it and 20% what my body agrees to. :laugh:
Thanks for the feedback ladies! I'm going to stick to my plan and see what happens. :)
Yes, I losing my last 5 lbs slowly. Last week I did more of an eating window than calorie counting (just had a busy week didn't plan it that way) but pretty much maintained although I would have liked to lost a bit. If my last 5 lbs comes off by the first day of Fall then I'll be happy. Although my unofficial goal is 125 lbs I want to check with my doctor to see if he thinks it's a decent goal or maybe should make it lower. Not sure what will be best but either way I'm pretty close! Good luck with your plan Fluffy!
Good luck luck with your plan..Some times deciding to go it a slower pace gets you mentally prepared for maintenance .. So this can be a great tool! :heart: Congrats on how far you have come on your journey~
Thanks ladies! I have quite a way to go before I even reach my final 20 pounds so right now I have my sights on offloading these first twenty. I'm almost half way there and looking to be in onederland by labor day. Can't wait!
I'll be celebrating with you when you get to Onderland! It's quite a milestone, and somehow I've felt so much more "normal" since hitting it. It's freeing in a way. I didn't realize it would feel quite like that. Now I'm 18.5 pounds from being overweight instead of obese so that's my next goal. But honestly, sometimes I really feel only overweight now. :dunno:
It's hard to remember sometimes that my weight starts with a 2....or perhaps it's just hard for me to accept it. I won't accept it and I'm making steps to change it! Onward and downward!
fluffy, it's great that you're planning & it's awesome that you're DOING, too. ;) You will make it just fine to goal & you will enjoy every minute of getting there! Woohoo!!! Keep it up!!! :heart:
Thanks Flutter! To me, maintenance is SO much more challenging that weight loss. I'm looking to you and the other seasoned maintainers to keep me on the straight and narrow once I do get down to my target weight and body fat level. You are all doing amazing!
It sounds like a great plan fluffy bunny. Your doing great!
Thanks ladies!
I was thinking of doing the same thing and also have about 40 pounds to go to goal. (That's if my body cooperates.) I've always lost quickly down to ~150 and then stall out there naturally and then get diet fatigue and give up. Maintain it for a few months without too much problem and then something would happen work wise to make me lose focus... Bounce back up to the 180's or low 190's within 6 months and then rinse, repeat. I've done that at least half a dozen times in the last 12 years. Just so sick of playing with that particular yoyo. Was so hoping that I could get to 150 by Christmas / New Years (so 23 pounds in about 4.5 months - figuring xmas is kind of a write-off/time to maintain) and then lose that last 20 over the next 8 months. Lofty goal of 2.5 pounds a month. But would like it to be 3 pounds of fat lost and .5 pounds of muscle gained. :lol:
I don't know, like Carly I might go for 5 more pounds for vanity sake. I weighed 115-125 for years and felt best at 125 with some nice looking muscles. I don't know if I have the hormones left anymore to make those nice looking muscles like I used to though. I think it gives time for the skin to adjust, to shop for new clothes slowly and yes, above all - learn how to **maintain!!!**
You are doing so well.
I don't have a chance to decided how it goes with me.
A turtle I have always been and I understand about getting to
certain weight and then stalling for so long and quitting and going
back up 20 lbs. or so. Sometimes I am so grateful for one or two
pounds to show me that at least I am working towards goal and that
my body is cooperating. Hang in there.
I saw your post about not losing anything and getting discouraged and I've seen the replies to hang in there because sometimes it takes a while for the scale to go down. I believe that JUDD will work for you if you stick with it.
This race isn't for the swift, but for those who endure. Embrace your inner tortoise! After all we know who wins in the end! :hugs:

As the peak of the rush hour appraoches, look for crowding on several routes.
On 494, it's 15 minutes in each direction between Hwy. 169 and Cedar Avenue. Look for a crash on westbound 494 on the right shoulder at 24th Avenue.
It's still 20 to 25 minutes from Hwy. 101 to 494/94 on eastbound 94 through Rogers and Maple Grove. A crash on the left shoulder at Maple Grove Pkwy. is partly to blame.
The Crosstown in both directions is about 15 minutes from Cedar Avenue over to Hwy. 169. No crashes, just lots of people on the roads.
Look for things to shake loose on westbound 494 at Hardman Avenue. The crash there has been cleared.
Northbound 35 is tight from County 46 up to Crystal Lake Road through Lakeville and Burnsville.

Governor Deval L. Patrick
Professional Convention Management Association's General Session Opening Remarks
Hynes Convention Center
Monday, January 13, 2014
Thank you and good morning. To all the Convening Leaders and the many members of the Professional Convention Management Association, I warmly welcome you to Massachusetts.
I was delighted to learn that the theme of your conference is Revolution. For both historic and contemporary reasons, you are in the right place at the right time.
Massachusetts has been a leader in revolutionary thinking since that day, 400 years ago, when a group of Boston citizens flaunted the British authorities and invented the Town Meeting. We've continued on that course over the years, leading the way in human freedom, from the American Revolution against the British monarchy through abolition, women's suffrage, civil rights, immigration, and LGBT rights.
Indeed, Massachusetts invented America. Because America is not organized the way countries are usually organized. We are not organized around a common language or religion, or a natural geography. Unlike any other nation in human history, we are organized around a handful of civic ideals. And we have defined those ideals, over time and through struggle, as equality, opportunity, freedom and fair play. That all started here.
Along the way, Massachusetts has become home to some of America's icons: the nation's first university; the nation's first public school; the nation's first baseball franchise; the home of the industrial revolution, to name just a few. I hope you will have a chance to visit some of these and other historic sights on this or a future visit.
That same impulse for breakout thinking is at work in Massachusetts today.
We are growing our future now, by investing in education, in innovation and in infrastructure.
We invest in education because, with nearly 300 universities, research facilities and teaching hospitals within 90 minutes of where you're sitting right now, education is our calling card to the world.
We invest in innovation because there are a handful of high-growth industries -- industries like biotech and life sciences, clean tech, IT, precision manufacturing and financial services -- that depend on the kind of concentration of brainpower we have.
And we invest in infrastructure, the unglamorous work of government, because it supports everything else, because it's the public platform for private initiative and personal ambition.
That strategy for growth is why we are first in the nation today in student achievement, entrepreneurial activity, economic competitiveness, venture funding, health care coverage, energy efficiency, biotech and life sciences, and so much more.
We've won a Stanley Cup, an NBA championship, two World Series, and at least one perfect NFL season since I've been governor, too. Just saying ...
The serious point is that the same spirit of innovation, indeed of revolution, that spawned this Commonwealth and this country, inspires us right now. And I want you to know that as you consider where your next event ought to be.
The doors of this Commonwealth open to the world. Logan Airport welcomed a record number of visitors last year, including 4 million international arrivals. In addition to hundreds of other domestic and foreign destinations, we've opened up Massachusetts to new regions of the world through direct flights from Tokyo on JAL, from Panama City on Copa Airlines, from Istanbul on Turkish Air, from Dubai on Emirates Air and from Beijing on Hainan Airlines. We have many more in the works.
We are expanding our convention and hotel space, here in Boston and elsewhere in the state.
And, of course, we are blessed with sophisticated cities and charming towns, beautiful coastline, majestic mountains, the unparalleled countryside of western Massachusetts, and some of the most storied music, dance and museum destinations in the world.
As the saying goes, "it's all here." I hope you will enjoy it while you are here, and that you will come back with your families and your colleagues -- and lots and lots of conventioneers!
A revolution in thinking here in Massachusetts brought us a new nation, and then the life-saving use of ether and organ transplants, new treatments for multiple sclerosis, and a mixed blessing called the internet. Similar revolutions brought us advances in technology, business, medicine, education, the arts, and freedom itself that have improved the human condition. And still do so today. I welcome you to be a part of it.
Thank you. And have a great conference.

I don't know if anyone in here saw this movie. But I saw it on video yesterday, and it wasn't worth the money at all. It's described as being real scary. But the movie is slow for way too long. It gets a little more interesting later on, but not worth seeing. I'd probably give it a C- or maybe even a D. I bet Noel could come up with stuff a lot scarier than that.

Ashiq -- This film records about life of Ashiq, the Uighur bard live in southern border area of Takla Makan Desert. Unlike traditional life of Sufeiyah in Islam society, Asiq who live in southern border area of Takla Makan Desert do different jobs for living except people go into seclusion to cultivate religious sense at Maza (the grave of Uighur). For example some Asiq are ironworkers, other are beggar, merchant, grave dealer, barber, woman Asig, Sheikh (the Islam clergy) etc. However the way and contents they song have remained same as traditional one through the same decent. They convey their earnest feeling to Allah and are doing penance for their sins through this way.
This documentary film is a great epic covering whole aspect of Asiq and moreover, includes a challenge of young generation of Asiq in the present city.

A typical load for a full-time undergraduate student is 15 hours per semester. A minimum full-time load is 12 hours per semester. No student may exceed a load of 20 credit hours without permission of the appropriate academic dean or department chair and an approved Request for Waiver of University Policy form. Petition forms are available at One Stop Student Services. Submission of petition does not guarantee approval.
UNF will certify full-time attendance to programs and agencies (that do not specify minimums for undergraduate student enrollment) for students if the student is enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours per semester for fall and spring. A student can be certified as being enrolled full-time during the summer if one is registered for a combination of 9 credit hours between summer A, B, and/or C sessions. Enrollment verifications can be requested once the add/drop period has ended.
Please note that a minimum of 12 hours is required to be classified as full-time for financial aid purposes in any semester.
