Lakes Entertainment Announces Results For Second Quarter 2012
Amortization of intangible assets related to the operating casinos was $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in amortization costs related primarily to the buy-out of the management agreement for the Four Winds Casino Resort which resulted in the full amortization of the remaining intangible assets associated with that project during the second quarter of 2011.
Net unrealized gains and losses on notes receivable relate to the Company's notes receivable from Indian tribes for casino projects that are not yet open, which are adjusted to estimated fair value based upon the current status of the related tribal casino projects and evolving market conditions. There were no net unrealized gains or losses on notes receivable during the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2011, net unrealized losses on notes receivable were $0.1 million related to the project with the Jamul Tribe due primarily to ongoing issues in the credit markets.
Other income, net, was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2011, a significant portion of which relates to non-cash accretion of interest on the Company's notes receivable.
The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.1 million compared to a tax provision of $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2011. Lakes' income tax benefit in the current year quarter was primarily associated with the Company's ability to carry back its estimated 2012 taxable loss to a prior year and receive a refund of taxes previously paid. This benefit was partially offset by current income tax provision. Lakes' income tax provision in the prior year period consisted primarily of current income tax provision.Six Month ResultsNet earnings for the six months ended July 1, 2012 were $2.2 million, compared to net earnings of $10.9 million for the six months ended July 3, 2011. Loss from operations was $2.7 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to earnings from operations of $16.9 million for the first six months of 2011. Basic and diluted earnings were $0.08 per share for the six months ended July 1, 2012 compared to earnings of $0.41 per share for the six months ended July 3, 2011. Lakes Entertainment reported revenues of $4.5 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012, compared to revenues of $34.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the buy-out of the management agreement for the Four Winds Casino Resort during June of 2011. Pursuant to the buy-out agreement, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians paid to Lakes a buy-out fee of approximately $24.5 million. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in fees earned from the management of the Red Hawk Casino during the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Revenues in the current year related to the management of the Red Hawk Casino.

11 ill after fumes fill German planeComment on this story
Cologne, Germany - Eleven passengers were taken to hospital Monday after their plane filled with exhaust fumes shortly after it landed in Germany.
The Boeing 737 aircraft, belonging to Germany's XL Airways, which was on its way from Hanover to Gaziantep in Turkey, had just made a scheduled stop in the west German city of Cologne-Bonn when passengers noticed smoke in the cabin.
A spokesman for the airline said the almost 200 passengers on board left the aircraft by the stairs as emergency services gathered at the airport. Officials are now investigating the source of the fumes.
The passengers wanting to continue their flight to Turkey were expected to resume their trip later Monday. - Sapa-dpa

The OthersThey say they're "the good guys" — and we agree. We think "Henry Gale" and Co. are one-time Dharma Initiative members gone rogue. Now they are committed to stopping the Initiative's crazy testing and they need strong-willed Jack, Kate and Sawyer to help them.
The Dharma InitiativeSo the Initiative — with all its testing in meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology and electromagnetism — is evil? Hell, yeah. Polar bears in the tropics, a phoenix rising and human guinea pigs — this can't be good.
Widmore LaboratoriesRemember that shadowy figure up in the window of the Swan station's Orientation Video? We think that's Charles Widmore — aka Alvar Hanso, the money (the maniac?) behind the Hanso Foundation and owner of Widmore Laboratories. The Widmore logo was seen on all the Dharma food, the real Henry Gale's balloon and even Sun's pregnancy test. Coincidence? We think not.
Desmond HumeMr. Widmore got Desmond away from his daughter in a big way. But Desmond's former love, Penny, apparently hasn't given up on finding her MIA globetrotter. Could she know what her evil dad is up to? Does she assume that by finding that electromagnetic anomaly, she will also find her Dickens-reading lost love? Bingo. (Side note: The novel Our Mutual Friend is about a man presumed dead at sea.)
Big FootWe don't know what exactly to make of the four-toed statue remnant Sayid spied, although speculation has surfaced that there could be a connection to T.J. Bass' Half Past Human, a sci-fi novel about a civilization of superpeople with — you guessed it —four toes. Or maybe the oddity was just a nod to 1968's Planet of the Apes. Did anyone else hear Charlton Heston screaming, "Damn you all to hell!"?

You've got an axe to grind. You've had it since Bowlen got rid of a guy who was stealing his money and giving half-assed effort (Mike Shanahan) and brought in someone who still had a passion for winning football. Why? Because that guy just so happened to be an assistant in the most successful football organization since the Walsh lead 49ers.
You can try and find excuses but on this you are a one topic voter and you've tried to cast that same ballot so many times that the entire board knows where you stand.
As for Montrose, I doubt he did. You do at least have class when it comes to fellow posters on here. But to then act like somehow speaking ill of our new management is the oppressed view on here? Thats just about the most obtuse thing I've heard on this board in a long time. You feel like that because you run out the same tired arguments every single chance you get, and now pretty much everyone knows what side of the fence you are on.
Blue, you really want to go down that road? I'll start pulling up threads about your Pats hate from when McDaniels first interviewed if you want. Or the multiple threads where you ranted like a lunatic about how he was hijacking our team and turning it into Patriots West.
Fine. I apologize for none of my anti-Patriot sentiment.
. I never attacked Montrose for his optimism. In fact, I applaud that and would challenge anyone who said he didn't have a right to express his positive opinions (or told him to leave the Mane for posting them). And I do not believe that he "deserves" to suffer personal attacks because of posting that opinion.
Maybe you've never had a debate on a forum with someone who actually can remember past what they had for lunch. Me? I happen to have pretty capable powers of recollection. I don't throw people's explicit quotes back in their face or dig up old threads because its impolite and childish. But when you start trying to play the martyr? That level of two faced bull**** deserves it. So just say so. If you really think your posting history can withstand someone digging up old threads and show you to be an impartial judge of this new regime then I'll start providing you some choice quotes you can explain the impartiality thereof.
Please show me where I
claimed to be "impartial"... I didn't. I
I didn't personally attack Montrose.
In the sense that we can all get swept up in some waves of excitement for a team we enjoy? Sure, no harm there. But when it becomes a punch line in a thread where the guy said he was stepping away from the forum? ****, at least let the people who enjoyed all the hours he spent typing camp reports give him a send off without trying to throw that back in his face.
While the Foneco **** got played out it was always meant in jest. The level of venomous aggression some people level at anyone who shows any excitement or hope for the '09 Broncos is just flat out sickening.
This board has taken a serious step back in the general amount of class and decorum shown to other posters over this off-season. Its disgusting and it makes this place a worthless cesspool no better than what ESPN offers. I don't get that wound up over the Broncos, football, sports, or basically anything in general. But a lack of class and decency towards other people, even (especially?) if done behind the veil of anonymity provided by an internet connection? That just outright disgusts me and takes all humor out of the debate. Montrose is one example of people going overboard with ****. There are dozens of others where people have let what should be a good natured debate come to personal insults and verbal attacks.
In short this board is becoming overrun with two conflicting armies of dickhead zombies and as a result the reason I always came here before (enjoyable football discussion) no longer exists within these confines. I'm honestly about done with it.
My stance is that both sides need to show more tolerance of opinions that differ from their own. Personal attacks (like some of them in this quoted post) are not warranted... posters do not "deserve" to be attacked simply because they see things differently. Your earlier post flat-out stated that you believe I "deserved" to have my intelligence questioned and/or be called a "retard" or worse for no other reason than "I expressed an opinion that called into question McDaniels' competence to do the job of an NFL HC"....
Personal attacks are... IMHO... the last resort of a poster who can no longer argue the issues at hand.

|The women's ultimate team was founded in 2004 and has had many successful seasons since then. Our team has won the title of Canadian University champions (2006, 2009 and 2010), and has qualified several times for the USA Ultimate College Nationals, placing in the top 20 teams in North American women's college ultimate.
In the fall we participate in the Canadian series, which involves 2-3 tournaments. Our season continues into the winter and spring where we travel south to the US to compete in the sun, and wraps up with the American championship series. Last season we went undefeated in the fall and won three out of five of their major spring tournaments in the US, ending the season with a 13th place finish at the USA College Championships.
Every year we have a mixture of skill levels on the team, ranging from those who have played in international competitions to those who have played locally to those who have never picked up a disc. We encourage everyone to come out, regardless of your experience level! We are always looking for new athletes who enjoy competition and developing their skills!
Our tryouts are held from September 8 to 11. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information as the season approaches. If you are unable to come out in the fall, but would like to participate in the winter/spring season, also send us an email!

theodp writes The Washington Post reports the White House holiday decor is going digital this year, with dog-bots and crowdsourced tree lights. "Thanks to Google's Made with Code initiative," reports a National Park Foundation press release, "girls across the country will experience the beauty of code by lighting up holiday trees in President's Park, one of America's 401 national parks and home to the White House." Beginning on December 2, explains the press release, girls can head over to Google's madewithcode.com (launched last June by U.S. CTO Megan Smith, then a Google X VP), to code a design for one of the 56 state and territory trees. Girls can select the shape, size, and color of the lights, and animate different patterns using introductory programming language and their designs will appear live on the trees. "Made with Code is a fun and easy way for millions of girls to try introductory code and see Computer Science as a foundation for their futures. We're thrilled that this holiday season families across the country will be able to try their hands at a fun programming project," said former Rep. Susan Molinari, who now heads Google's lobbying and policy office in Washington, DC.

An anonymous reader writes Black Friday news kicked off this weekend quite early when Best Buy was hit with a massive outage, but it turns out that was only half the story. The top 50 e-commerce websites were slower overall this year compared to last, suggesting customers were frustrated even if they could get to their favorite shopping site. Web performance monitoring company Catchpoint Systems looked at aggregate performance this weekend and compared it to the same timeframe in 2013. The results are notable: desktop web pages were 19.85 percent slower, while mobile web pages were a whopping 57.21 percent slower.

Bennett Haselton writes with four big tips for anyone blessed by the holiday buying frenzy with a new laptop; in particular, these are tips to pass on to non-techie relatives and others who are unlikely to put (say) "Install a Free operating system" at the very top of the list: Here's Bennett's advice, in short: (1) If you don't want to pay for an anti-virus program, at least install a free one. (2) Save files to a folder that is automatically mirrored to the cloud, for effortless backups. (3) Create a non-administrator guest account, in case a friend needs to borrow the computer. (4) Be aware of your computer's System Restore option as a way of fixing mysterious problems that arose recently." Read on for the expanded version; worth keeping in mind before your next friends-and-family tech support call.

McGruber writes "Myer, Australia's largest department store chain, has closed its website 'until further notice' at the height of the post-Christmas (and Australian summer) sales season. The website crashed on Christmas Day and has been down ever since. This means Myer will see no benefit for those days from booming domestic online sales, which were tipped to hit $344 million across the retail sector on Boxing Day alone. Teams from IBM and Myer's information technology division were 'working furiously' to fix the problem."

Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Reuters reports that the high volume of online orders of holiday packages overwhelmed shipping and logistics company UPS delaying the arrival of Christmas presents around the globe and sending angry consumers to social media to vent. The company projected 132 million deliveries last week "and obviously we exceeded that," said UPS spokeswoman Natalie Black without disclosing how many packages had been sent. "For now, UPS is really focused on delivering the remaining packages. You might not see trucks, but people are working." Asked why the company underestimated the volume of air packages it would receive, Black noted that previous severe weather in the Dallas area had already created a backlog. Then came "excess holiday volume" during a compressed time frame, since the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas was shorter than usual this year. Amazon.com responded with an email to affected customers offering shipping refunds and $20 gift cards to compensate. Packages shipped via UPS for Amazon.com by Prime customers, who pay $79 a year for two-day shipping, may be eligible for additional refunds. Amazon's stated policy for missed deliveries is to offer a free one-month extension of Prime. Frustrated consumers took to social media, with some complaining that gifts purchased for their children would not arrive in time to make it under the tree by Christmas morning. '"A lot of these employees keep saying 'It's the weather' or 'It's some kind of a backlog,' said Barry Tesh. 'Well then why, all the way up until the 23rd, were they offering next-day delivery? That guaranteed delivery was 80% of my decision to buy the gift."' However, others on social media urged shoppers to be more appreciative of the delivery company's work during the holiday season. 'While others take vacation and time off in December, remember we aren't allowed ever to be off in December. Ever,' said a 20-year veteran UPS driver on the UPS Facebook page. 'So when you see your family and complain that your package is held up, everyone who moves your package is working and doesn't get the Xmas experience you get, Be thankful for that.'"

Alek Komarnitsky isn't the only one obsessed with Christmas lights. He's quick to point out that the display he assembles and improves each year at his Colorado home (in a "never-ending cycle") isn't the most elaborate in the country by a long shot, even among householders. But most of those other displays, no matter how complex, don't have the feature that's made Alek's an internet draw for many years running: visitors to the site not only get to see a live web-cam view of the system, but can flip the lights on and off themselves, making it a globally accessible interactive system. It's all based on home-grown scripts running on Linux (Alek says it's about as elegant as "duct tape and wire"), running old-school X10 controllers, and — surprisingly to me — the lights are mostly still conventional incandescents, rather than LED. This year, I finally caught up with Alek before Christmas; watch the video below to see our conversation. And even though Alek neither solicits nor wants money from people who like his Christmas display for himself, he does it partly as a benefit for Celiac Disease Research, and anything you give to this worthy cause is appreciated. Update: 12/23 21:21 GMT by T : NOTE: tune in starting around 4 PM Mountain time, and you'll get to see the system lit up.

Bennettt Haselton has a gift idea for this year that needn't necessarily cost you any money (if you have a color printer available), though as he points out there are ways to invest in a higher-quality result. The gift? A unique picture created with a few pieces of free software and a bit of your time. Bennett writes: "You can use these little-known free programs to create a photomosaic of a friend's wedding photo or other favorite photograph, for a uniquely personal gift that doesn't cost much but can still delight. Follow these steps to use the programs most effectively and get the best results." Read on for the rest.

An anonymous reader writes "On Cyber Monday, millions of Americans will take to the Internet in search of the newest gadgets to bestow upon their loved ones. Most of these 'gifts' are trojan horses that will spy on their recipients, prevent them from doing what they want with their device, or maybe even block access to their favorite books or music. The Free Software Foundation is proud to introduce a map through this minefield: our 2013 Giving Guide. The Giving Guide features gifts that will not only make your recipients jump for joy; these gifts will also protect their freedom."

Bennett Haselton has in years previous made some canny suggestions for tech-oriented holiday gifts; you can look forward to another one. Today, though, Bennett writes about one cool toy in particular: a kit to make your own creepy robot: "For over 20 years, Dutch inventor Theo Jansen has been building truck-sized sculptures that crab-walk eerily across the beach, using only the power of the wind to turn fan blades that power the gears and crankshafts and enable the walking motion. This kit allows you to assemble your own working model that 'walks' sideways across your desktop." Read on for the rest.

Hallowe'en is my favorite holiday: I like seeing costumes (and walking around in my own), and seeing what people do to decorate their houses, yards, etc. For the second year in a row though, I've failed to come up with a really good scheme for making my own place appropriately spooky. So, in hopes of loosing some inspiration for myself and others, I ask today what you're doing to spookify your surroundings (or your person) tomorrow, especially if it means using technology in interesting ways. Sensor-activated scary sounds or lights? An Arduino or Raspberry Pi-controlled costume? Elaborate trap-door? Infrasonic hackle-raising subwoofer install? Maybe one year Alek Komarnitsky will switch to Hallowe'en instead of Christmas, and offer a webcam-equipped remote-controllable haunt.

mikejuk writes "JavaScript is the language of the client and it is becoming the language of the server. Now it seems set to be the language of Minecraft. ScriptCraft is a Minecraft mod that can be added to the game to allow the player to use JavaScript commands. Walter Higgins ported the Rhino JVM implementation of JavaScript in a few spare weeks over Xmas. Some additional JavaScript classes allow the construction of blocks making it possible to automate construction. It also provides a 'turtle like' drone class that makes it easier to move in 3D. It makes use of a fluent API to create a domain specific language for movement. As its creator says: 'Ultimately I think the ScriptCraft mod could be used to take building in Minecraft to a whole new level. With a full-blown language at the Player's disposal, it should be possible to create not just castles and forts but entire road networks and cities.' Most importantly of all, it not only pushes the boundary of Minecraft, it also provides a way to get kids who are already hooked on Minecraft to start learning JavaScript."

dotarray writes "One Colorado family received more than they'd bargained for this Christmas when they gave five-year-old Braydon Giles a pre-owned Nintendo 3DS that apparently still contained 'graphic images' from a previous owner. From the article: 'Refurbishing is an art, as well as a craft. The whole point is to make a gadget feel pristine, even when it used to be owned by a cult leader, a scout leader or an exhibitionist. Sadly, someone in a Colorado GameStop stopped refurbishing before the job was complete. So much so that 5-year-old Braydon Giles opened his Xmas gift — a Nintendo 3DS — and discovered images of naked people doing less than pristine things. As Channel 9 News tells it, Braydon showed the 3DS to his brother Bryton. He wanted his help to remove these weird pictures. '"

theodp writes "With all of the content that can be delivered electronically — e-books, music, apps, movies, e-gift cards, tickets — the percentage of Christmas gift giving that's digital is growing each year. However, the e-gift unwrapping user experience on Christmas morning leaves much to be desired. In addition to providing old-school mail delivery of gift cards, Amazon offers a variety of other options, including e-mailing a gift card on a specific day with or without a suggested gift, posting it on someone's Facebook Wall, or allowing you to print one for personal delivery. Another suggestion — using USB drives — harkens back to the days of burning CDs with custom playlists for last-minute gifts, but you'll be thwarted by DRM issues for lots of content. So, until Facebook introduces The Tree to save our e-gifts under until they're 'unwrapped' on Christmas morning with the other physical gifts, how do you plan on handling e-gift giving and getting?"

The Internet Archive curates an astounding collection (actually, a collection of collections) of online resources, from historically significant to modern but obscure.

New submitter Sebolains writes "Unlike previous years, NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command) has decided to use Bing maps to track Santa's journey as he goes around the world delivering presents. Starting Christmas eve, one will be able to go to the official NORAD Santa tracking site and use Bing maps to see where Santa is delivering presents at that time. In previous years, NORAD has always gone for Google maps to track Saint Nick. The reason for this switch were not disclosed, but since nearly 25 million people are expected to use this tool come this Christmas, this will definitely benefit Bing in the ongoing competition for online map applications."

|Does anyone know if air layering contorted filberts works?
What about taking cuttings and putting them in potting soil or water? when is the best time of year? If i did air layering could I remove the branch by the early fall?
Could you email me? (i dont know if im automatically emailed or not) thank you, Alex
Follow-Up Postings:
|Every Harry Lauders Walking Stick is a clone decendent from a single contorted filbert discovered in England. Regular seedlings are used as understock for the clone/graft. In this case I would recommend the purchase of any additional plants you care to own and spend your energy on other plants.
|If you'd like to try your hand at grafting, and have a source for normal filbert rootstock and the contorted budstock, you could graft your own.
- Posted by adirondackhoney n.NY (My Page) on Tue, Feb 8, 05 at 18:24
|when you get a way that works,let me know.
any place reliable that mails live ones?
|mine puts out very straight suckers... so I gave up on rooting cuttings.
|Air layering, or conventional layering(pulling shoots down into soil contact, then severing once they've rooted) will work, and will give you an 'own-rooted' HLWS. With grafted/budded specimens, you must constantly be diligent about keeping non-contorted suckers from the seedling rootstock clipped off.
- Posted by DellaBella z6 NJ (My Page) on Sat, Feb 19, 05 at 19:11
|well, I am trying it... I took cuttings, dipped them in "Shultz's 'take root'", put them in damp pearlite in covered containers, and put one set in my fridge and another on a sunny windowsill. It has been two weeks, but I guess I can't expect anything for 6 to 8 weeks. So I am just practicing the 2 things a gardner needs most, hope and patience....
But I am growing them because I did get one that is grafted, and I don't want to deal with "suckers"... and I want a BUNCH, but have a limited budget. I am going to try that thing where you bury a branch form the bush and wait on that to take root. I have done it with my hydrangea and have had alot of luck with it...
in Hope and Patience,
You're going to need Luck as well. Layering is a common method of propagation by the hazel/filbert folks, but they are notoriously difficult(if not impossible) to start from cuttings.
- Posted by DellaBella z6 NJ (My Page) on Sun, Feb 20, 05 at 15:36
I know, some things I've read say I'd have better luck getting water form a stone than getting those little sticks to root, but then again I have also read it isn't really that hard... But I am going to buy some heat mats and some additional gro-lites, so maybe my moxie will get some results. But I guess what I find most interesting about the posters here is that we all love a challenge...
thanks for your wisdom,

|Hi Bella,
Did you have any luck with the cuttings? I am looking for small Harry Lauders W.S. seedlings or rooted cuttings. I want to graft/bud them to straight filbert tree stock. I have alot of interest in this species.
|Leemac..check out burnt ridge nursery. They have HLWS selrooted for a VERY reasonable price. I've ordered one and I 'll post about its size if you're interested.
- Posted by DellaBella z6 NJ (My Page) on Thu, Apr 7, 05 at 8:53
First off, I got a nice one at Home Depot. $69.99. very reasonable for the nice size.
Why did I by another? because I hacked the first one down to a nub trying to clone it. But at this point, I will not give up until I have tried everything i can think of.
So I got some great advice from a master gardner from eBay. He suggested dip-n-grow and cutting my clippings under water. But based on my first and second attempts, the ones i'm trying to root in oasis foam look the best. And some in potting soil look good. The ones in pearlite Died with a capital D.
They new contorted filbert that i purchased is for some different air-layering things i am going to try. I'll let you know...

|Thanks Chills And bella!
I am looking to find some smallish plants real cheep, as I want to try grafting onto a tall straight filbert trunk, to create a standard. There are some old ones near here and they look awesome! I know this will take years to look good ,but I'm a patient person!
Going to google Burn't ridge right now!
- Posted by Leemac_z5_Ma z5 ma (My Page) on Sat, Apr 9, 05 at 22:34
|Hey Chills, Thanks for the tip about Burn't Ridge Nursery!
I just ordered a contorted Hazelnut and a halle's giant hazelnut And a hazelnut seedling. Very reasonable! Thanks again!
|I got mine in last weekend and it was 1 1/2 feet tall and nicely spiraled. (I also got 7 other things, so I was quite busy planting that evening.) I ordered seaberry seedlings, and they were descibed as just seedlings, but they were over a foot tall and 6-12 inches wide with branches! Everything was great (though my Mulberry had the top 8 inches crushed and bent, but I trimmed it and even with the trimming it is still almost 4 feet tall!)
Can't say enough good things about Burnt Ridge!

I don't want to tell Bella what Burnt Ridge charges for thiers...lol

|I still haven't got my order yet,But I will be real happy with that size plant for the price! Funny I have googled repeatedly and I never got Burn't Ridge! They have alot of interesting things for great prices! Also reasonable shipping!
Waiting Anxiously!
- Posted by DellaBella z6 NJ (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 05 at 12:54
The good thing is I returned mine to Home depot! Ha! And ordered the ones from Burnt Ridge. If the ones from Burnt Ridge are 1 1/2' tall, then the Home Depot one is much, much larger, so it is "apples to oranges", but I wanted quantity so I'm glad to find Burnt Ridge.
they seem very nice at Burnt Ridge... I'm glad you guys recommended them...
- Posted by Leemac_z5_Ma z5 ma (My Page) on Tue, May 3, 05 at 22:32
|My plants came today! I got 2 Harry Lauders, Nice and curly! ( Same size as yours Chills,) And the straight Halles giant filbert is about 4' tall! They are about the same Caliper. I spoke with a master Gardener at my Rose society meeting tonight, And he is going to help me. He said I can bud the 2 contorted ones onto the 1 straight Filbert! This will give me a fuller tree faster. He told me I should practice on roses before I attempt this! I am pleased with this nursery! wouldn't hesitate to re-order!

|I have a few queries. Can heat (we've been in the 90's without rain for two weeks now) make the leaves brown in spots? I've watered at night with a sprinkler method after the heat of the day is over. Today I moved the sprinkler back so it doesn't reach the "Stick" at all just in case it's from being damp thru the nite. Before this heat wave he was doing grrreat; sooooooo great his lower branches grew and reached the ground. The limbs (still green and pliable) are contorted as well; so I didn't want to prune them off. I gently moved them up, down, around other's limbs in hopes they would stay and grow that way; is this ok?
All thoughts and comments more than welcome for my $100.00 baby boy!!!!!
- Posted by Leemac_z5_Ma z5 ma (My Page) on Sun, Jul 17, 05 at 21:22
|Wow, I just came back to this forum today to update my contorted tale! My grafting attempt did not take. :^( But the trunk I was using as the standard is still growing fine, as are the 2 contorted shrubs ( I only used half of one when I attempted the graft.) So I am prepared to try again next spring. Meanwhile I walked into Home depot today and spotted a Corylus Avellana contorta STANDARD about 6' tall, trunk about 31/2" in diameter for 69.99! It must be a mistake because the shrub Contortas were the same price! I was so happy to get a large standard for this price! The only other one I have seen for sale around here was 350.00! ( was quite a bit bigger) I will still try my grafting experiments in spring, but now I have instant gratification!
Flowerbrackob, I am afraid I don't know why your leaves are turning brown. My 2 shrubs and the 2 straight filberts look fine and we are in the same heatwave, Humid but no rain. Only difference I hand water, and only wet leaves when I water in the A.M. ( I grow roses, so this is habit to help prevent fungal diseases.) The new Home Depot Baby was dry as a bone, leaves look wilted, but okay.Hope someone else can give you a beter answer!
|No... it's been around 108ş here and mine is fine... maybe you have a fungus.

|With every controted filbert grown in the world, it provides a closer end to commercial grown filberts( hazelnuts to people who don't bother asking the difference). Contorted filberts are the carrier of EFB( European Filbert Blight) which destroyed filbert crops in the eastern United States years ago. Now, in the Pacific Northwest, EFB is destroying varieties like "Ennis" and "Barcelona" without a true control. My advice, don't grow the filbert, but if you have too, choose from disease free stock, and provide clean propagating and cultivation techniques to ensure that you don't harbor and spread this disease.

|I'v been growing contorted filbert for nine years. Now it is only half alive this year. The other half is dried out and brittle. What type of food should I give it? My new one is growing fine. It had no problem over the New England winter.
|A year (or two) ago I trimmed my contorted filbert and threw the branches in a pile. I needed some of the branches to decorate a half wine barrel I was planting so I stuck some of them into the barrel then planted it with primroses. The bare branches have been decorating the barrel very nicely now for over a year. This morning I went out to pull a few weeds in the barrel and quite a few of the branches have small leaves! I would really like to be able to transplant some into my garden and also give some to friends . Should I let them grow until winter in the barrel or try to move them now? My 12 year old contorted filbert seems to thrive on neglect so I really have no idea how to care for these young plants. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

|Just my 2 cents worth.
I purchased one for less than $30 ( plant and shipping) from Parks 3-4 yrs ago.
I followed the careful direction on layering it- layered 4-5 branches last fall with scraping the cambium, root hormone and pinning underground.
In short- the first poster was right- expend your energy elsewhere. And for heaven sake, don't hack up or ruin the pretty one you bought unless you don't mind how it looks when your done wasting your time.

|Wow this is really exiting to me. I am a florist working out of my home and I try to use as much material from my own garden as possible of course. I have been wanting a contorted hazelnut for years for this purpose but I really do not have the space to grow it. However I do have a regular hazelnut tree and now I'm wondering could I try to graft a branch to this much older hazelnut tree? If so how long would it take to get some usable branches?

Thousands of people flocked to Dorset today for their annual knob throwing contest.
In Dorset a knob isn't the same as it is for you and I, it's a spherical biscuit which can sometimes resemble a bell-end. Once a year the good folk of Cattistock organise a knob throwing contest to see who can toss their knob the furthest. This year Dave Morrison tossed his knob an incredible 21.8 metres, failing to beat the current world record knob-toss of 29.4 metres set by Dave Phillips and his knob back in 2012.
During the days festivities there are also other activities such as knob darts, or guess the weight of the knob. No knobs are wasted during the contests, all tossed knobs are gathered up and fed to the cocks.
"Most of the contest is taken in good heart and there is no food wastage. Everything that is left over – even the broken bits on the ground – goes to feed local chickens" organiser Nigel Collins gushed.

US concerned over Myanmar journalists' sentencesJuly 11, 2014 @ 9:25 am
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. says it's very concerned that four reporters and a magazine chief executive in Myanmar (mee-an-MAWR') have been sentenced to 10 years of hard labor.
The sentence is for reporting about an alleged weapons factory.
The State Department says the sentence sends the "wrong message" about Myanmar's commitment to freedom of expression. A spokesman is urging Myanmar to respect the rights of all journalists.
The now-defunct Unity journal printed a story in January saying the military had seized farmland for the factory in central Myanmar and that it would produce chemical weapons. The journal printed a denial by authorities.
Rights groups have condemned Thursday's sentencing. They say intimidation and arrests of journalists appear to be worsening in the former pariah state, even as official censorship has been lifted.

Gone are the monolithic notions that we all some homogenous culture--go to the same bars, shop in the same stores, eat in the same restaurants, hold the same kinds of political opinions, have similar backgrounds, and work the same kinds of jobs (more often than not urban, and vaguely white-collar.) The clichés of the gay life fade and a different voice sounds, or rather different voices are heard. In our writing, to borrow the old saw of gay liberation movements passed, we are everywhere. In cities and country, offices and factories and shops and academies. We work and we fuck, we shout and we steal. We love each other and, yes, we hurt each other. When we tell our own stories, it becomes clear that we've moved well past the sentimental coming out story, the boy-meets-boy romance, the dangers and pleasures of sexual adventure, and we've done it without having to abandon them--because those things still happen and are still important. But we've found new ways of thinking about them, and have more experience to share, a deeper understanding of them, and we've added an array of other stories, from other parts of our lives, and dreams, and troubles to them. We've moved past the "gay story" and towards "gay stories." And this anthology is a testament to all the voices, the power of storytelling, a chorus of narrative impulses.

"Such a beautiful little invite. I've received many compliments. We are having a late spring backyard party after my daughter is Christened and this invitation was the perfect way to set the tone. Just lovely."
"This card was "sweet" to begin with, but with my sweet baby's name on it, it only made this card even sweeter! Personalizing this card was made so easy using the template provided by Tiny Prints. With the choice of 2 colour schemes, it was easy to have this card fit into any decor plans you may have for your event. Printing is clear, and the suggested fonts to choose from make it a cinch to create the perfect invite on quality paper. I can't wait to send out these Sweet Cards, and to get my RSVPs and good reviews!"
"Couldn't have been happier. Received lots of complements!! :) Simple and "girly" Just a side note- the size of the card is a bit small, but it was absolutely fine for our occasion."
"This was my first time ordering from Tinyprints. I am very pleased with the ease of ordering. There were great options and easy to preview. The invitations arrived so fast! The quality is excellent. I only wish these had been available in a larger size. I will definitely order from this company again."
"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."

I know it's been 2 years since GH stopped and barely a year since the last RB game came out (RB Blitz) but honestly I kinda miss the series. Yes I know Activision ran the GH series into the ground with too many releases 2009 but honestly I wish there was a new GH game coming out cause I love being able to play songs I've heard for so long on the games as well as find new songs to like.
Anyone else here miss the series?
Does anyone here miss Guitar Hero/Rock Band?
Pageof 1
I think it would work well as a series spaced out with one or two games a generation.
Problem is by running into the ground they have made it a fad rather than a series.
I love it though. And would definitely enjoy another one in a couple of years.
I think they just needed to reduce the price of the DLC. Make the game a platform and release songs at a quid each rather than a new game every 10 months.
I miss it.
I could go for another one now, but every 3 months or whatever it was is too much. They have to figure out a way to keep it fresh.

Yep, I've only played the first one on the PS2. I was thinking of looking for a bargain for the Wii only recently.

True they ran it into the ground, but its still great getting the old axe out every now and again after a few beers.
GH: Guns N Roses has always been on the wish list, shame Axel Rose is such is dick otherwise I reckon it might have happened.
The Aerosmith one is pretty good. Of course, I'm a great big giant fan of their early stuff.

Kinda. I used to play it with my mates/girlfriend all the time and had a great laugh with it, but then I had a problem with the stuff imported from Rock Band 2 and 3, and it became a real chore to play. Then my xbox died, and there'd be a lot to download again having replaced it.
The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine.
@ronuds You know what really bugged me about that game?...no Dude Looks Like A Lady
I was never particularly attached to that song, so it didn't bother me.
Plus, I got the game and a new guitar for so cheap that I had no room to complain.

I have been watching a few ion drummer kits and even proper electric drum kits on eBay to use with this. Never got a decent group of us together. Me and my brother was fun though. Do miss it.

Have fond memories of the first one. Lived with 3 friends at the time and not a day would go by without coming back from work to find someone had set a new top score on More Than A Feeling or Ziggy Stardust.
They just over did it all in the end. Plus the track selections got progressively worse bar unique ones like Rock Band AC/DC etc.

Like SingStar, Buzz, Dance Dance Revolution, and even WoW, I miss it in the context of the time I played it. Playing it now would be like attempting to recapture the past, and in my experience that's a very bad idea. I just like leaving them as fond memories of better times.

Funnily enough was thinking about the GH games the other day. Loved GH2. Its actually up there amongst my favourite experiences of this gen. Absolutely hammered the 360 version.
I'm going to have to borrow my mates 360 now so I can have another session on this (sold mine late last year)

GH actually got me into guitar music and playing a real guitar, but I don't really miss it - I've moved on to Rocksmith, which is a lot more satisfying to play Give it a try if you can (if you happen to know someone who owns it) - it rocks! (sorry )
Two to four player guitar hero will never get dull. That alone makes me think it will return one day

What spoilt it for me was the massive overpricing of the tracks. And how they pretty much failed to get the GH1+2 tracks onto the 360.
I'm a grumpy bastard.
I don't miss Rock Band, because the disc hasn't disintegrated and all the tracks I downloaded are still on my hard drive, so if I want to play it I do play it. The way Harmonix supported the game with new DLC tracks for so long rather than putting out a new disc every 4-6 months should be commended.
Also I agree with all the support for Rocksmith, it is a great game and has taught me bass incredibly well.
All the eurogamers who actually play with each other on xbl rather than just post pseudointellectual pc handwringing bollocks on the forums, love the shit out of biggy.
Rocksmith is incredible, I honestly don't think I could go back to Rock Band.

The amount of hours I got out of Rock Band 1, 2 and 3, Beatles and Green Day ones as Guitar Hero 3 though, incredible stuff. So when I say I couldn't go back, it's purely because of the standard I play at on a game that replicates it as opposed to them being shit of course.

I'd love Rocksmith a lot more if it didn't have an annoying habit of increasing the difficulty mid song while I'm getting good at it and not even learned the techniques I need to handle the higher difficulty. It's just not balanced well enough for those (like me) who are not that good at the real thing at all

Hopefully Bandfuse is a lot better in that regard

I find the difficulty is pitched perfectly on Rocksmith and I'm a complete novice on guitar. I've never found it to suddenly spike the difficulty way beyond my ability half way through a song, it always felt like a gradual increase.
