In agreement with our neighbors, we decided against privacy fences, so I'm planting trees instead. The yards are deep enough to where we really don't need fences. However, the family that lives behind us (the back of their house faces the back of our house) have somewhat of a messy area that they keep all of their potting stuff like old plant pots that are just growing weeds etc.
When I drive down my driveway, this is what i see. So i'd like to plant a red oak to distract from the mess back there. However, the spot that it would need to planted in in order to effectively distract is VERY close to our side neighbor's yard. He does not have or want trees in his yard. He's one of those that keeps his grass crazy short so that it never grows. I'm guessing he doesn't want to fool with leaves etc. How close to his property line can I plant the oak?? I really want to plant it about a foot away. However, the spot in question is waaaaaayy to the back in the back left corner of our yard, so it's really far from his house. The tree being to close to his house wouldn't be a problem. I don't want to be a jerk, however. What do you think? |

Most municipalities say that neighbors can prune overhanging branches all the way up from the property line. As your trunk will eventually increase to go over the property line, the particular municipality should state how that works when the tree straddles the property line. If not, its a civil matter.

Ask your neighbor what they would rather have. Shade, leaves, acorns, squirrels, surface roots, etc or a neighbor with a privacy fence. The nicest thing to do is to tell them what your ideas are and get some feedback from them about it. As mentioned, you could come home one day to find half the tree missing. I think I remember from your other posts you are in southern louisiana. You may be able to accomplish what you're looking to do with more compact screening trees or shrubs that are not so messy such as hollies. |

I do have a privacy fence and also I have two trees very close to my neighbor line. I did not plant them they grew on their own. I think they are Maple or just huge green trees. They are so beautiful like drawn by an artist extending 80-90 feet tall and spreading their branches and roots in my neighbor's yard.I asked the neighbor permission to come to their yard with my ladder and chain saw. They did not mind. I trim as much as I can. It is embarrassing. I asked the Neighbor if it is a bother to them I can remove them and his wife said "No don't I love the trees you don't know how much oxygen they are producing and look how many bird nests in the trees I enjoy the singing of the birds". I planted 4 Apricot trees this year on the same side but left a good 6 feet between the trees and the fence. Even they are dwarf Apricot trees and don't grow that much I wanted to make sure they stay in my property. Some Neighbors are very cynical once I had a neighbor who used to get upset when my cat walks on his grass He moved. I am lucky now I have Good ones. |

i would do shrubs to hide a mess .... long before i would contemplate planting a 50 to 100 foot tree... a tree will take decades to cover most anything ... a shrub will take care of the issue inside a couple years ... it might really help.. if you gave us a clue as to where you are .... is this a HOA agreement ... or just the neighbors BS'ing??? .. personally i would never restrict what i do with my property.. on a handshake and a nod ... who knows what will happen in the future ... other than litigation i suppose ken |
he's a good guy. he wouldn't flip out on us. he would just be annoyed by leaves etc. i'm in south La (southwest of baton rouge). i don't want shrubs. i don't really like the way they look in the middle of a yard. i was thinking about camellia sasaquas, but they are so expensive down here because they only sell them in REALLLY big gallon pots. i'd have to get a truck to get them to my house. i prefer the price and the ease of a tree that i can slide in my minivan. i don't expect it to hide the mess, just distract from it. i'll think about a holly |

The first impression is one of two things: If he becomes mad at any point in the life of that tree, he could willingly prune it so whatever is on his side - he could cut making the tree now a grotesque specimen. The other is to offer, only if necessary, to rake up any leaves on his side. Then you see what Ken wrote above which suggests that "anything" could happen. Not to sound loudish, but what happens if you decide to move sometime leaving the litter mess of leaves now to the ('responsibility') of the new home-owner. Even more so, what happens if you die. This is getting wild, but now you see that it really does initiate future complications. If you can agree on an Oak planting, Quercus coccinea would be my first choice for speed - fall color - and a liking for southern climates. Dax |

Scarlet oak may like the northern, upper elevations of the South but I'm not so sure it would like the gulf coast. Does anyone know? I'm thinking Nutall might be a better deciduous oak for that location. |
Is a deciduous tree with a canopy well above-ground really the best option for blocking or detracting from the view of messy ground clutter in a neighbor's yard? I don't know what works well in your region; I'd ask around & see what would create the effect of a row of Green Giant or Emerald Green Arborvitae, hollies (perhaps Oak-Leaf Holly, which can produce berries without a male), or something like that. I get that things would look a bit better with a large, beautiful oak, but then again, you can see around the trunk and still see the junk. Richard. |

Social media analysis sheds light on the X Factor winner
X Factor Week 7 social media measurement reveals potential X Factor winner
Friday, 25 November 2011, London, UK ---- ITV's X Factor Week 7, 2011 (series 8) saw television and the live studio audiences taken to the flicks with the Movies theme.
The contestants put on a great show with Little Mix arguably the best performance on the night. This was reflected in how the girl group performed across social media; topping the list of fastest growing contestants with Week 7 (growth of 15.3% [27,000+ fans] during the live shows) and receiving the most YouTube views (80,277 views by the end of Sunday's show, 20,000 more than Janet). However, it was Craig Colton and contestant returnee Amelia Lily that both had to compete in the sing off, the first time either contestant had been in the bottom two. With the judges failing to make a majority decision it went to Deadlock, the first in the series, which saw Craig, one of the more popular contestants across social media, falling short of the public vote and being sent packing.
Rachel Hawkes, account director at Elemental, the communications consultancy that created The X Factor infographic comments, "Little Mix's social presence continues to grow each week, and although they don't have the most fans the size of their online fan base is growing faster than any other contestants. Based on the social numbers Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily and Little Mix have a great shot at being the finalists, but as we've seen frequently, is social love isn't translated into votes, the unexpected can happen."
Elemental's X Factor social media infographic continues to demonstrate the impact that social media is having upon live shows and also upon contestants, X Factor's main social assets, the judges and vice versa.
"Brands, celebrities and programme makers are beginning to see how important social media analysis is increasingly important to better interact with audiences wherever they are. It's one thing having a social fan base, it's quite another understanding what they are about and how to tune into what they like and why. Although there are no absolutes in terms of social media determining outcomes, to deny its influence would be unwise," adds Tim Gibbon, director at Elemental.
"If we are to look at how social media has been playing out for each contestant over the last three to four weeks, Janet or Misha B should be preparing for the worst in Week 8. Since week three and four respectively, both Janet and Misha B have been steadily decreasing in popularity across Facebook and Twitter during live shows each week, receiving less than 10,000 (sometimes less than 5,000) new fans each week. Although we have learnt over the weeks that the size of a fan base doesn't necessarily equate to votes a clear pattern has emerged about each of the girls popularity across social media over a period of time that can't be ignored, " concludes Hawkes.

We bring our extensive trading and operational oil/gas experience to the investment field with our Oil & Gas Royalty Interests Income Program. This investment niche in the energy sector eliminates the complications of capital equipment and field operations and focuses on one thing- royalties-No exploration, no drilling, no operating drilling or field operating expenses.
With royalty investing, the royalty interests are bought, sold and held by the investment managers (SFO). In a royalty investment, the objective of the investment is to generate its revenue from royalties that are held from different producing field throughout the country. The main feature to owning a percentage of a royalty fund is that the royalty owner (or interest owner) pays no percentage of operating or developmental costs associated with the production of the oil or gas. Royalty programs generally offer a low risk factor, and last for many years.
With overriding royalty interests, investors also receive a portion of the income from the production of oil and gas, however, owners of overriding royalty own only proceeds from the production of minerals and not the minerals under the ground. Overriding royalty interest expires once the lease has expired and production has stopped, whereas, minerals and royalty owners maintain their ownership after production stops.
SFO Resources delivers the following for oil/gas royalty investors:

What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater?
Cliff posted about 14 years ago | from the pump-up-the-volume dept.
558FusionJunky asks: "My cohorts and I at The GeekPad are working to develop our home theatre into something a little more robust. We picked up a 36" Sony Television and a respectable DVD Player...now we're ready to tackle audio. We've noticed we have this optical out capability from the DVD player, and a bunch of other new fangled plugs back there, and we were wondering what the Slashdot community uses for home theatre audio. We'd like to keep it under $1500." I'd be interested in what you all feel is the best system for the buck, from your choices in tuners to speakers.

Judges rule unanimously in favor of West SpringfieldApril 25, 2014 |
By Carley Dangona firstname.lastname@example.com BOSTON – Less than a week after MGM Springfield and the town West Springfield presented their cases before a panel of three judges, the arbitrators ruled in favor of the town. Mayor Edward Sullivan announced the ruling on April 24, which calls for MGM to pay $425,000 annually, an amount that will increase based upon the consumer price index. MGM had proposed a payment of $100,000. MGM will also provide an upfront payment of $665,000 for the reconstruction of Memorial Avenue and will pay for the town's consultant expenditures, which is expected to total $150,000. All of the payments are pending the decision of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to award MGM with the casino license. That announcement is anticipated this June. In their ruling, the arbitrators stated, "One of the features of both the Best and Final offers is the one-year and five-year look-back provisions. On their face, they suggest a possible way of avoiding having to estimate up front what might happen in the future and instead rely on what actually occurs. The look-back provisions may not be the panacea for which they are touted. They have a tendency to shift the burden of proof and the burden of response from the applicant to the surrounding community. They put the surrounding community in the position of having to front-end studies and costs of repairs and additions to its infrastructure and incur costly additional police and fire protection." They continued, "Then the town must demonstrate – and in the process amass the necessary evidence, an expensive process in its own right – that the amounts it spent were necessary and directly caused by the introduction of the gaming establishment. By definition, the town, as a surrounding community, is presumed to 'experience or is likely to experience impacts from the development of' MGM's gaming establishment." Reminder Publications spoke with Sullivan on April 25. "I was pleased, obviously," he said. "We really dug into the details of what we thought the fiscal impacts would be. Now that this is behind us, I look forward to working with MGM and the people to establish partnerships." Sullivan stated that at this time, a payment schedule has not been determined. He has not spoken to any representatives from MGM since the day each went before the panel. He did re-iterate that all of the funds for the Memorial Avenue project would only be used for that venture and nothing else. Sullivan said the overhaul would be based upon the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's "complete street" assessment of the roadway, which includes access for pedestrians and cyclists. Sullivan stated that of the $425,000 annual payment, $50,000 would be used "to analyze the annual impacts such as public safety, school and transportation." Each pled its case before a panel of judges on April 18. MGM Springfield and West Springfield failed to reach a surrounding community agreement after months of discussions. Each party had three hours to present its case to a panel of three arbitrators, retired judges Margaret Hinkle, Charles Swartwood III and Allan van Gestel all of JAMS Resolution Experts, a private alternative dispute resolution provider. MGM and West Side each selected a member of the panel, and those panelists then chose the third member. Both MGM and the town had a half hour rebuttal period after the cases were presented. Each panel member will independently review the case and make a decision. At least two of the three must rule in favor of one party or the other for an argument to win. Mayor Edward Sullivan anticipated that the panel would make its ruling by May 5. He said, "They [MGM] based their entire presentation on the lookback philosophy. I believe this is a flawed approach and is certainly not industry standard." The lookback approach addresses issues once they arise. The basis for this argument is that the impact of a casino can lead to many possible changes, too many to anticipate, so it is better to address them as they occur rather than pre-emptively anticipate what will happen. "That approach is flawed in many, many areas," Sullivan said. His main opposition it to the fact that MGM seeks to establish a baseline year for impact assessment during the year prior to its opening when both the Interstate 91 viaduct and the Memorial Avenue Rotary Bridge will be under construction. Sullivan said that MGM could then say the impacts to West Springfield were due to the construction and not its casino venue. The town's panel consisted of the mayor, Police Chief Ronald Campurciani, Fire Chief William Flaherty, Department of Public Works Director Robert Colson, Town Attorney Simon Brighenti Jr., Attorney Jonathon Silverstein of Kopelman and Paige, P.C., John Turner from Pro Forma Advisors, LLC, and Jason DeGray of Greenman-Pedersen Inc. Sullivan said that MGM's panel consisted of MGM Springfield President Michael Mathis, Attorney Seth Stratton, Attorney Jed Nosal of Brown Rudnick, LLP and others that served as counterparts to the West Side team. "I'm pleased with our presentation. A lot of time and effort went into it," Sullivan said. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission allotted 20 days total for the arbitration process, so MGM and the town have until June 8 to complete the process. |

If you are visiting Montreal first and then on to Quebec City, with a return through Montreal you might want to consider train travel from Montreal to Quebec City and back to Montreal. I have found the pricing to be fair; the trains prompt. And the parking in Montreal is secure. Travel from Montreal to Ottawa to Quebec City to Montreal, is one heck of an experience!

I was in Omaha for the 2009 CWS and thought that the new location for the CWS was much better then Rosenblatt which is located in a neighborhood with very little parking. The new stadium is right across the street from the Qwest Center which is 18,300 seat arena with plenty of parking around it.

Andrew Oliver and NCAA settle Lawsuit
Andrew Oliver and the NCAA have come to a settlement in their lawsuit for $750,000. Oliver had sued the NCAA for the right to have representation in his MLB contract negotiations out of high school. The NCAA became aware of him using a lawyer and suspended him at the beginning of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Oliver brought the case to court and got an injunction so he could play during the 2009 season. The case continued throughout the season including a judge saying that the NCAA violated the law by not allowing representation of the players.
Cracking down on Advisers
If you have been following this site for over a year, then you have heard me talk about the Andrew Oliver case at least a few times. The main issue in the case is whether or not drafted players could use legal counsel to help them negotiate a contract. The NCAA has been very strict that these advisers violate the amateurism rule if they are paid like they were in the Oliver case. This is very interesting as MLB teams have lawyers helping negotiate contracts but the drafted player can't? Don't you think something is wrong there?
NCAA looking into cracking down on "Advisors"
The NCAA is currently looking into cracking down on the Advisers/Agents in the MLB Draft negotiations. The reason for this comes from the Andrew Oliver case where he was deemed ineligible because he had an advisor (agent) representing him out of high school during his negotiations. MLB is also not happy with the current situation with how drafted players are receiving outrageous money from some of the large market clubs.

NCAA President Myles Brand passes away
Myles Brand who served as the NCAA President since 2003 passed away from Pancreatic cancer on Wednesday. He was diagnosed in January and fought the disease with great effort but sadly passed away yesterday. He will be known nationally for firing legendary Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight when Brand was the President of Indiana. Knight choked one of his players during a practice which led to the firing. On the baseball side of things was a key component in keeping the NCAA baseball season at it's current 56 game limit but currently we don't know what the new president of the NCAA will do during their tenure.

Hello. I am having a family friend finish my basement in about a month. He is a general contractor. He will be doing insulating, framing, sheetrocking, taping, paintings and adding new trim. The basement is a simple rectangle with 1100sq ft to be finished. I am wondering what approximately can I expect him to charge me for labor. (I already know the cost of materials) He will be giving me an estimate, but I just wanted to see if I could get a ballpark idea from anyone out there. Any ideas would be great! Thankyou! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Quick rule of thumb is to double materials for a ballpark labor estimate. |

Who are we to question the esteemed Sec of State? There aren't 100 Americans who could point out Afganistan on a map if it wasn't written on the paper. Maybe he knows something we don't. He's a smart guy.
We were just alerted last week that the President sent 100 American troops to Niger, wherever that might be. Nobody checked to see if that was a real country or not. So. Whatever.
He's enormously wealthy, a long time Dem Senator from a solid blue state, and that's all the expertise he needs to be Sec of State.
Geography, he don't need no stinkin geography. So back off.
(just being a smarty pants)
oops (just ME being a smarty pants)
Love it….You are my kind of Smarty Pants!! Need more Smarty Pants in the Media, too!
Esteemed indeed. This follows his first and major FP speech on the importance of Global Warming and Climate Change and his identification of the US Congress as the threat to national security. (Take that good buddy John McCain).
What Katie Couric wants to know is does he know who the President of Uzbekistan is? Although the better question might be does he know Uzbekistan is a country and if so, what is his special John Kerry nickname for it.
srdem, he also served in Vietnam……..as he will tell you….REPEATEDLY. Of course, he's guilty of treason too but….who's fact checking?
"Ghanaria" LMAO, Keith.
What's next? Will he be speaking Austrian like his boss?
It's amazing sometimes what comes out of the mouth of the haughty, french looking, retired senator from Mass., who by the way served in Vietnam.
…and don't forget his special ops missions into Slobovia over Christmas.
For the first time in my long life, I'm ashamed of my country.
When I was in the Navy I went to Franceland, meet an Egytia and got Ghanaria :-(
Did she speak Egyptian?
I guess knowing the world map is an optional requirement for the Secretary of State. But, as Hillary would say, what difference does it make? Apparently, competence is optional in this administration.
Another Harvard graduate although I'll have to say that, unlike Obama, he did release his grades even though they were mediocre.
Kyrzakhstan – isn't that the 57th state where Present-dent Barry's typical white woman grandmother as born?
Well, the headline on Drudge today quotes Kerry as saying that Americans have a right to be stupid. Covering for himself, I guess.
Maybe he and Herman Cain can go to Uzbekibekibekistan
Ghanaria? Isn't that what you can get from a hooker in Tossoffastan>
Ghanaria… I'm crying here! lol.
Clearly, John Kerry is no "Heinz"stein
Hey, back off! John Kerry saved my life in Vietnam!

The Plaza Kvinna 'Wintertime' editorial is a glance into a winter wonderland.
The bohemian chic photo shoot features the beautiful Iryna Rohzek parading around in winter's finest fashions. Captures include shearling vests, cable knit sweaters, an overload of fur and ornate silver jewelry. The striking pictures were taken by photographer Jaclyn Adams. Stylist Kawa H Pour focused on the outdoors, lavish winter apparel and playing into seasonal layering. In one shot Iryna is wearing an array of layers, a sweater, a fur coat, bracelets, necklaces, a heavy hat and a leather belt. That seems like a lot of looks, but Pour makes it work and appear like the comfiest outfit option possible.
The Plaza Kvinna 'Wintertime' shoot's apparel and rustic cabin setting make it arouse winter warmth.

RIAA Ramps Up Fight Against Torrents
The Recording Industry Association of America ramped up its battle with music downloading earlier this week, obtaining subpoenas from the US District of Columbia to get the names and IP addresses of the individuals behind three major torrent sites.
The affected sites are Monova.org. Bitsnoop.com and Limetorrents.com, with the RIAA now demanding information such as the identities, email addresses and IP addresses of the people who run the aforementioned sites.
This is a step up from the RIAA's usual shenanigans, as they usually are content with prosecuting (persecuting?) individual downloaders and standard P2P services like Limewire.
"We believe your service is hosting the above-referenced website on its network. This website offers direct links to files containing sound recordings for other users to download by such artists as Lady Gaga, Micheal Jackson, Coldplay, Madonna and Kanye West. As stated in the attached subpoena, you are required to disclose to the RIAA information sufficient to identify the infringer. This would include the individual's IP-address and e-mail address," read an RIAA-written letter to Whoisgaurd.com.
What the RIAA plans to do with the requested information that subpoenaed sites are required to provide remains unclear, but lawsuits regarding incurred damages don't seem to be far off.

Baja is apparently a state in Mexico that holds an annual race that can take up to thirty hours to finish. It's futility on an epic scale, and fortunately 2XL's new off-road racer doesn't ask quite that much of you - but does come a bit too close.
The game is presented as a complete simulation of the real off-road desert-racing Baja experience, so the lack of any motorbikes or ATVs to complement the hundreds of buggies and trucks on show seems like something of an oversight. And while you're free to tinker with the innards of what vehicles you do have to gain an edge on the track, any in-depth customisation is always paired with ludicrous racing physics. Landings go one further and sometimes feel like a complete lottery- sometimes you'll simply bob into the sand and be off, but other times you'll land at an angle and end up facing backwards as your competitors soar past.
It's clearly an attempt at compromise, but enthusiasts won't enjoy the arcade style of driving and casual players are unlikely to be interested in all the logos and brands. The AI drivers, like the improbably named 'Dick McCool,' do react to your methods and retaliate if you mess up their paint-jobs, though any veil of intelligence is torn away the second you fall behind the pack and see every other driver on your GPS minimap slow down to help you catch up.
There are plenty of different challenges though, including hill climbs, rallies and circuits, and the total race area covers around a hundred square miles. An impressive statistic, but there isn't really much you can do with desert so it's usually just you and the weirdly abundant tumbleweeds that clog up some tracks. There are a few populated roads and the odd backwater town, but they never feel like real places, just more obstacles for you to bounce off.
Desert racing would make a fun element in a broader driving game but an entire £40 title devoted to lolloping over sand dunes is probably overkill. Don't be seduced by the trendy soundtrack or gnarly subtitle; there are already too many fantastic racing games fighting for space on the pre-owned racks.
Don't fall asleep at the wheel
- Easy, enjoyable driving controls
- Tons of stuff
- Levels are massive but bland
- Repetitive, gets dull quickly
- Little variation in races

Acres for America Grant Will Help Conserve More Than 12,000 Acres in the Blue Ridge
January 18, 2012
Rocky Fork, Tennessee. Photo by Greg Hutson
Asheville, NC — The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), through Walmart's 2012 Acres for America program, has awarded a $500,000 grant to the Blue Ridge Forever coalition for the protection of more than 12,000 acres in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. The grant will help conserve a network of six tracts with native brook trout and golden wing warbler habitat, provide public access for people to enjoy the outdoors and protect the natural resources that local communities depend on for clean drinking water and economic vitality.
"We are thankful to NFWF and Walmart for making this contribution to the future of our Southern Appalachian mountains, home of some of the most biologically rich temperate forests in the world," said Carl Silverstein, executive director of Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy, one of the 12 conservation organizations that make up the Blue Ridge Forever coalition.
At nearly 10,000 acres, Rocky Fork, located just over the border in Tennessee, is the most prominent of six tracts in the project. The Conservation Fund, Cherokee National Forest, and the State of Tennessee acquired it in 2008 in cooperation with Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Rocky Fork was one of the largest unprotected high-elevation parcels remaining in the Southern Appalachians and is home to an array of rare and endangered species. The grant money will assist in the protection of the final section of Rocky Fork later this year, conserving a haven for wildlife, safeguarding water quality and supporting economic opportunities for neighboring communities.
The remaining five tracts total 2,240 acres with 21 miles of streams in North Carolina's Ashe, Avery, Henderson and McDowell counties. These tracts add to the conservation value of thousands of acres of adjoining public lands and protect headwater streams providing prime habitat for native brook trout. The five tracts will be protected by Blue Ridge Forever coalition members—Blue Ridge Conservancy, Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy, Conservation Trust for North Carolina,Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina and Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy.
"These lands make-up an important part of the Blue Ridge heritage, and the Acres for America grant will support our collective efforts to protect them for the enjoyment of future generations," said Ralph Knoll, field representative for The Conservation Fund, also a coalition member.
The grant was secured through a collaborative effort by the Blue Ridge Forever coalition of land trusts, Conservation Trust for North Carolina, The Conservation Fund, and Appalachian Trail Conservancy, with support from Trout Unlimited, Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture and others. Working together they will protect a patchwork of more than 12,000 acres of high priority conservation lands with 36 miles of streams and adjoining hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands.
"It is estimated that America loses nearly three million acres of open space each year," said Jennifer May-Brust, Walmart vice president of realty supplier management and compliance. "Our strategic partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is helping save important wildlife habitats and fits perfectly with Walmart's larger goal to bring sustainability into the communities we serve."
By supporting the conservation of land and wildlife in the Blue Ridge, Walmart and NFWF are also making a sound economic investment in the region. A 2009 study by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission shows mountain trout angling to have a $174 million per year economic input, and directly supported a total of 1,997 jobs in western North Carolina.
About The Conservation Fund
At The Conservation Fund, we combine a passion for conservation with an entrepreneurial spirit to protect your favorite places before they become just a memory. A hallmark of our work is our deep, unwavering understanding that for conservation solutions to last, they need to make economic sense. Top-ranked, we have protected more than 7 million acres across America.
About Acres for America
Acres for America is a 10-year, $35 million commitment that began in 2005 between Walmart and NFWF to purchase and preserve one acre of wildlife habitat in the U.S. for every acre of land developed by the company through 2015. To date, Acres for America has invested in projects in 24 states, protecting more than 687,000 acres. For more information on Acres for America, visit www.nfwf.org or Walmart's website.
About Blue Ridge Forever
Blue Ridge Forever is a collective campaign led by local land trusts and national conservation organizations to engage the public and raise financial resources to safeguard land and water in the Southern Blue Ridge for present and future generations. Blue Ridge Forever's land trusts members are Blue Ridge Conservancy, Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy, Conservation Trust for North Carolina, Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, Land Trust for the Little Tennessee, National Committee for the New River, Pacolet Area Conservancy, and Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy (NC Chapter), and Trust for Public Land serve an advisory role. www.blueridgeforever.org.
About The Conservation Trust for North Carolina

Today is the 20th anniversary of my father's death.
Although he was in bad health (cancer), it was sudden & unexpected. That night, I sat on the floor in my motel room watching the news. The first thing I saw, & the only thing I remember, was the image of the firefighters bringing Baby Jessica out of that well. Even in my stunned state (although I really didn't care how things worked at the time, I just wanted my Daddy back), I recognized how simple & how apt it was, death claiming the old & life claiming the new. In memory of my father, I'd like to ask this: Remember your lost ones today, & take extra care of the ones you've been given. |
Follow-Up Postings:
"...take extra care of the ones you've been given." That's the important part. |
Simple message but the greatest message...thanks for reminding us all. It's tough to lose your loved ones, but I admire your courage - even after 20 years. God Bless... gng |

THE GRILL, an unlikely name for a bar, and yet in Aberdeen it is synonymous with all that is best about Scotland's family-owned traditional pubs.
Originally established as a restaurant in 1870 from whence it takes its name, and converted to a pub some time later, it has remained virtually unchanged since 1926, making it one of Aberdeen's oldest pubs. In their listing of pub interiors of outstanding historic interest, CAMRA included The Grill as the only Scottish entry north of Dundee. Many generations of resident and returning Aberdonians have quenched their thirst in its comfortable and congenial atmosphere.
Enjoying a prominent position on Aberdeen's main thoroughfare at 213 Union Street, The Grill is located directly opposite the Music Hall which plays host to a wide range of concerts and shows, including Classical, Folk, Rock, Pop and Jazz, and is only a 5 minute walk from the newly refurbished His Majesty's Theatre. The Grill is very much a standing pub due to the presence of a long bar counter and offers a welcoming environment to people of all ages and tastes who merely wish to have a drink and a chat. In addition to a first class range of draught and packaged lagers, cask and keg ales, a homely range of tasty bar snacks, including the famous Stovies & Oatcakes and Haggis, is offered at all times. Due to its central location, the pub is surrounded by many of Aberdeen's favourite restaurants and is a popular meeting point prior to a meal or for an after dinner malt.
Interior of the bar featuring the long bar counter, the mahogany panelled walls and part of the ceiling plasterwork
The Grill has been named Bar of the Year by Whisky Magazine in its Icons of Whisky awards for its collection of whiskies and its commitment and passion to educate the consumer. Currently on offer is a selection of over 500, some 60 of which are from around the world, including Japan, Ireland and America. The selection includes probably the oldest dram on sale anywhere in the world, a 65 year old Macallan distilled in 1938, several more single malts distilled in the late 1930's, and the legendary Black Bowmore.
With several members of staff having gained a Certificate of Expertise in the Sales and Service of Scotch Whisky, The Grill is now recognised as a "Whisky Embassy" by SCOTLANDWHISKY. As smoking is now banned in public places in Scotland, the only smoke you can now enjoy in the bar is in your whisky, be it an intense Islay experience or one of the rarer lightly smoked Highland malts.

828 Accents Dragonflies Orange Rug
Item #: 102CCL100-P Add to Wishlist
Description: The Accents collection of cotton rugs offers a wide range of simple yet elegant country designs with animal and beach themes. Woven with cotton in a luxurious hand finished tufted rug.
- Collection: Accents
- Brand: 828
- Material: 100% Cotton
- Weave: Hand Hooked
- Styles: Kids Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 6' Round
The rug is cute and I plan to keep it, but when it arrived yesterday I was quite surprised at the color difference. The rug, in reality, is a peach color; the dragonflies that appear in purplish tones on my iPad are in pink tones on the rug; the lime green dragonflies are closer to sea foam. Basically the rug is more muted in person. We are re-decorating my daughter's room and I was hoping to paint the walls lavendar, but am going to have to go a different direction now.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
At 828 International, we never sit still. Our company is driven by the desire to deliver rugs of unsurpassed quality and style. To that end, we travel the globe to create rugs that exceed your expectations.

Restarting My Router
I have a linksys router and woud like to know how to restart it from my pc as i am upstairs and it is downstairs! It often goes funny where it wont let me access the internet but does let me use msn and connect to the route. A restart always cures this but would like it to be easier. I know my friends can do it with their d-link and netgear routers but was wondering if i could do it with mine?
Any suggestions will be great.

hmm, i had a linksys router a while ago but cant rember exactly, but as with almost every router, if you are connected to it,
1.Start your Linksys administration program by opening your Internet browser and typing this address: http://192.168.1.1
2.Type your Linksys User Name and Password.
(Note: you can try leaving the User Name blank, and typing ADMIN for the Password. These are the Linksys defaults.)
3.Well here you have to look around for the restarting option because I cant remember at the momment ^^ sorry.Last edited by noiren; 11th September 2007 at 07:51 PM.

Re: Restarting My Router
you should be able to just have the router release, then renew the connection with your ISP. I would also check on a firmware upgrade for your router if its giving you these kinds of problems, or it may just be your ISP. GL

Re: Restarting My Router
You should be able to access your router through your browser. Try http://192.168.1.1. That is a commonly used address for LinkSys. D-Link, on the other hand, seems to use http://192.168.0.1.

Re: Restarting My Router
Not with Linksys routers- it's http://192.168.1.1 and Administration tab should contain reboot option (sometimes two of them HARD and SOFT)

Over the weekend, your nosey ass auntie who never has any real business of her own to tend to learned that 'Scandal' actress Kerry Washington and San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha secretly wed in Idaho on June 24.
Naturally, the talk show host shared that she believed Kerry had a certain "type" in terms of her attraction to the opposite sex. Well, since it's safe to make our assumptions public knowledge and what not, I believe Wendy's type is Yeti when it comes to her synthetic hair fiber of choice. Those Vivica A. Fox wigs she wears when she is away from the show are a stack of questions with no answers.
Press play to watch Wendell offer the newlywed couple condragulations and shade below.

Liberal MP Hedy Fry resurrects transgender rights bill championed by NDP's Bill Siksay
Hedy Fry is carrying on retired NDP MP Bill Siksay's fight for transgender rights in Canada.
On Monday (September 19), Fry, the Liberal MP for Vancouver Centre, introduced Bill C-276 in the House of Commons.
Titled "An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code (gender identity and gender expression)", the legislation is an "exact redraft" of Siksay's Bill C-389, according to a news release from Fry's office.
Fry says she made a promise to Siksay, who represented Burnaby-Douglas, that she'd bring back the bill if she won reelection earlier this year.
In February, Bill C-389 passed third reading in the House of Commons by a vote of 143-135. But it died in the Senate when the federal election was called.
Like Siksay's legislation, Bill C-276 would amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to include gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination.
It would also amend the Criminal Code to outlaw hate speech that advocates genocide against groups distinguished by gender, and to allow evidence that a crime was motivated by hate based on gender to be taken into account during sentencing.
I hope that Hedy Fry and her Liberal colleagues will work closely with NDP MP's to move this Bill C-276 forward. And in a moment of brightness, I will even hope that some Conservative MP's will see the light, have a breakthrough moment and do what is RIGHT and support this human rights bill. One can never give up hope that fairness will win!
"I doubt there would be any objections from any quarter within the existing NDP if she were to cross the floor and be again in the Official Opposition"
One vote against right here.
Point taken. When I lived in Vancouver Centre, I always wondered why she got re-elected. There is a pretty good record on support for HIV issues and that is what I based my comment on. Nonetheless, I should know better than to presume to speak for all, many, or even sometimes more than just myself.
I will give Fry credit for her work around AIDS/LGBT rights advocacy.
That is about all.
The rest of her record is that of a loyal Liberal footsoldier (and some bizarre personal grandstanding), and I am from that part of the self indentified progressive population that looks at the federal Liberals from 1983-now as a huge part of the problem.
I was a card carrying member of the BC Liberal Party until the DAY that they voted Campbell in as leader back in the mid nineties. I have since cut off any support of the party due to that major blunder. After the BS he pulled, I don't feel there is much hope for the Liberals in BC but I will pray for such people as Hedy Fry. May your god(s) walk with you.
'Sex' is not the issue there. Sex is not something you are, it is something you DO. The issue at stake is Gender.
