Bought a lovely large zonal a few weeks ago @ a greenmarket. After the blooms faded, I dead headed it and noticed that the bottom 2 to 3 inches of stem are completely black & mushy. I'm sad to think this means it won't recover. Any ideas as to what could be wrong and if this is a fatal ailment? |

I would re-pot it and then you can see what the roots looks like, sounds like the soil way have been to wet. |

Your Geranium has blackleg --a fatal Geranium disease, and there is no hope for it. It may have had it when you bought it. It takes a while to get to the state you are describing. It is usually caused by overwatering. Geraniums like to be kept on the dry side. |
I guess it's a goner. I'll report this to the vendor. Guess I should have done an inspection of the lower stems! Thanks oilpainter for diagnosing what ails it. |

I see this is an older message so any advice would be useless at this point. However, you might have been able to save this plant had you cut it near a note, trimmed off any flowers and planted it so see if it would root, as we do in propagating pelargoniums. I hope you were able to replace. Nancy |
Don't give up on it; yes black leaves usually says you've given it too much, but try to save what stems you can....and start new plants. Any black around the roots does suggest you've lost it...bacteria is probably rampant and to save it would probably be a waste of time but, sometimes if you can split the roots, and give to the new planting some "Damp Off"...a fungicide, a couple of drops in the first watering, it might react and come along. Anyway, with geraniums you never can tell, they'll come back from a winter's dryness if you don't try to push them to produce. |

You can't save a plant with blackleg. I have tried taking cuttings from such a plant and they died too. A plant with blackleg is a gonner and there is no way around it. |

Baseball: Gateway Grizzles blank ThunderBolts 10-0
By Steve Millar For Sun-Times Media July 23, 2013 4:28PM
Updated: July 24, 2013 12:01PM
Taking on the Frontier League's best team, the Gateway Grizzlies, in their first home series since the All-Star break, it's been painfully clear for the Windy City ThunderBolts how big the gap is between them and the class of the league.
A day after falling 6-1 in the series opener, the T-Bolts were shut out for the 10th time this season, bowing 11-0 in front of 2,082 fans, most of them children, on Splash Day at Standard Bank Stadium in Crestwood.
"All we can do is show up (Wednesday), put our best guys on the field and go to battle," T-Bolts manager Ron Biga said. "We need some guys to start hitting line drives and get balls through holes."
Gateway (35-21) got a three-hitter from Jake Stephens (2-1), who entered the day with a 6.17 ERA but dominated the T-Bolts (23-34), who fell for the fourth straight time after opening the second half Friday with a win over Traverse City.
The T-Bolts, who were blanked just four times last season, are one away from the franchise record of 11 with 49 games still to play. The league record is 15.
Windy City starter Travis Tingle, meanwhile, pitching for the first since July 10, struggled mightily.
Coming off six innings of shutout ball in his previous start, against Southern Illinois, the rookie from the University of Louisville was roughed up for eight runs, seven of them earned, on 10 hits in three-plus innings.
"I don't know if the layoff hurt him, but he definitely wasn't sharp at all," Biga said.
Two errors by left fielder Kyle Robinson didn't help, either. His first allowed Jonathan Johnson (2-for-3, 3 walks, 4 runs) to score after Johnson led off the game with an double.
The first five Gateway hitters in the third reached base via four singles and a walk, and four came around to score.
The Grizzlies tacked on three more runs in the fourth as Vladimir Frias doubled, Johnson singled and Nick DeLorenzo singled to start the frame and finally chase Tingle.
Gateway scored twice more off Colin O'Connell in the sixth and added an eighth-inning run.
The T-Bolts meanwhile, got a double from Ryan Soares in the first and did not record another hit until the fifth, when Zach Aakhus and Evan Button opened the inning with consecutive singles.
Robinson flied out and Doug Joyce hit into a double play to end the threat.
"We just have to keep battling," Aakhus said. "It seems like we get hot at times and then get really cold. We're really cold now and we have to battle through it."

Hello everyone. I did see a post about where to get corn meal in Orlando, but I have never had such luck here in south florida. I have tried several feed stores and none can get it. I have used in the past Alfalfa and tomorrow I will use for the first time Soybean, but will like to use cornmeal for fungus control. Will I be able to use the regular cornmeal sold at supermarkets or larger food brand stores like Cosco, BJ's etc...? If anyone on this forum is from South Florida and has a place, please let me know. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Use cracked corn instead of cornmeal. Horse feed stores will have it. Yes regular cornmeal sold at supermarkets or Sam's club or Cosco would be the same. Bill Hill |

The fan known as "Jungle Bird" has struck again, this time interrupting Saturday's Notre Dame-Navy college football game in Ireland. This time, he somehow got a hold of a football, ran to the end zone with it, spun it on the ground and did an Irish jig.
(DISCLAIMER: Holdout Sports does not condone this type of behavior.)
The television broadcasters didn't recognize him, but this is the same fan interrupted the US Open golf tournament trophy presentation as Bob Costas interviewed winner Webb Simpson back in June.
"Jungle Bird" gave himself up to stadium security as he walked off the field, but it looks like someone needs to keep closer tabs on this guy.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

The Mariners signed Fernando Rodney to a two-year, $14 million contract yesterday. That is a pretty good move for a team with playoff aspirations and a pressing need to improve if they wish to get there. This deal for Rodney seems like a fair deal for a 37-year old reliever, one with a pretty stellar record over the last few years.
Paying through the nose for relievers might be over but there is no harm in paying a fair price for a good reliever.
The Mariners, to their credit, already had a good reliever. Danny Farquhar came out of semi-obscurity to post very nice numbers for Seattle last season. He struck out more and walked fewer than Rodney in 2013, allowing fewer home runs in the process.
But if we add 2012 into our comparison between Farquhar and Rodney…we're still comparing only one season from Farquhar. He didn't pitch in the big leagues at all in 2012 and only made a handful of appearances in 2011, then a member of the Blue Jays (he made stops in the minor league systems of both Oakland and the Yankees before landing in Seattle and pitching well at triple-A Tacoma in 2013). While Farquhar languished in the PCL, Fernando Rodney posted one of the finest reliever seasons, by ERA, ever. 48 saves, 0.60 ERA, high ground ball rate, Fernando Rodney had it all working in 2012.
This is sort of the point of relievers, and why the price of a premium closer (85 saves over the last two years) has come down considerably over the years – there is always a Danny Farquhar lurking around the corner. Asking a pitcher to record three outs three times a week isn't so difficult a job as to make it impossible to find reliable replacements under rocks or lurking in Indy ball or lurking inside the body of a wild setup man a la Fernando Rodney.
But sometimes those three outs mean the world. Getting those three outs with regularity can make the difference between missing the playoffs and squandering another year of your very expensive core's prime and skating into the playoffs. Sometimes you want to know those three outs are safe rather than hoping their hope.
While this sounds insane to discuss in reference to Fernando Rodney of all people, compared to Danny Farquhar, Rodney is a sure thing. He is a known commodity with a long big league track record. The diminutive Mariner pitched less than 50 times at the ass end of a lost season for a fourth place team.
Which is to say – the Mariners desire to secure somebody with a higher floor makes quite a bit of sense. They still have a lot of high ceiling players in their bullpen like Farquhar, who can now rove around in high leverage limbo, getting outs when the situation demands rather than residing in the ninth inning ivory tower, and former closer turned failed starter Tom Wilhelmsen.
There is other work for Seattle to do but this is at least a position now resolved for Jack Z the Marinerds. They have other holes to fill (though Corey Hart says he's all for DHing, which is a nice mystery solved) but they're well on their way to finishing a respectable fourth in the division, pushing up on the contenders rather than sitting on the heads of the lowly Astros. Progress!
Important read of the day – RIP Ralph Kiner
I don't know too much about Ralph Kiner the man. A lot of people, Mets fan in particular, seem to think he's sort of the best. A key piece of their childhood as a staple of Mets TV broadcasts for a long, long time. Read our friend Ted Berg on why he'll miss Ralph Kiner and you gain and understanding for the affection the man has among Mets fans of a certain vintage.
On the field, Ralph Kiner was a beast. He lead the league in home runs for each of his first seven years as a pro, leading the charge after WWII in a time of ample run scoring. He averaged 42 home runs a year from 1946 to 1952, posting a .281/.405/.571 line in the process. He was worth more than 40 Wins Above Replacement over that time.
Ralph Kiner was a star on the field and a star off the field for nearly 50 years. He is missed already.
Trumbo settles
Mark Trumbo and the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided arbitration yesterday by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $4.8 million, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
That is a nice figure for the slugger on his first trip through arbitration, especially given the bump his numbers could well receive after moving to the homer friendly desert outside Phoenix.
One criticism of the arbitration process has its crushes and they are no more obvious than when we look at a player like Trumbo. In November, I compared Mark Trumbo to Giancarlo Stanton, two players with identical service time and the same number of home runs and RBI.
That is where the differences end, of course, as Stanton is a fine defender in the outfield and also a much, much better or more complete hitter than his off-season workout partner.
At that time, the arbitration projections suggested they would get around the same in their first trip through the arb system – around $4.8MM. In the end, the Marlins and Stanton agreed to a one-year deal worth $6.5 million while Trumbo settled on the $4.8 MM figure. MLBTR's system nailed Trumbo's salary but missed wildly on Stanton.
Which, I think we can all agree, is a good thing. Stanton is a better player and is being paid as such. Maybe there is room for growth in the antiquated system after all? If anything, this is just another piece of information suggesting players are evaluated in a much more realistic fashion now. Good news for good players and fans of rational thinking. A big day, really.

Hostway reminds trademark holders to register a .mobi domain during the extended trademark sunrise period through September 22nd and receive a free Web site builder
Hostway Corporation, the leading global provider of Web hosting and online services, announced the extension of the Trademark Sunrise period until September 22nd for the .mobi domain name. During this time, anyone can register any national trademark as a .mobi domain if the trademark was filed before July 11, 2005 and is actively registered.
Approved by ICANN, .mobi is a new top-level domain specifically created for Internet use on mobile devices backed by leading mobile operators, network device manufacturers and Internet content providers worldwide including: Ericsson, Google, GSM Association, Hutchison, Microsoft, Nokia, Orascom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Syniverse, T-Mobile, Telefonica Moviles, TIM and Vodafone.
The trademark sunrise period gives trademark holders the opportunity to register their trademarks in the .mobi domain before the general registration, when the registry will be open to anyone. Trademark holders are therefore strongly encouraged to register their domain before the sunrise period ends on September 22nd.
.mobi was created to accommodate the needs of the growing segment of mobile Internet users. To overcome the past issues experienced with accessing the Internet from a mobile device such as high bandwidth cost, low content quality, applicability and slow access, the .mobi registry has created guidelines for Web sites to be compliant for .mobi.
"We are confident that the .mobi revolution will take-off because it's sponsored by the most prominent mobile and Internet players in the world - the very same companies who have delivered the promise of today's information society," said John Lee, VP of global marketing of Hostway. "We want to ensure our customers have access to this new technology and therefore we're making it easy for them to design a .mobi compliant Web site with our template-based Web site builder, which is currently available for free with each .mobi domain registration purchased through Hostway."
To learn more about how .mobi can take your business mobile, please visit http://www.hostway.com/domain-name/mobi_pre-reg.html.

text: you asked... Toddler Whining? My child's whining is starting to drive me crazy! How can I handle it? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: My child's whining is starting to drive me crazy! How can I handle it? Consider whining just another form of toddler communication. After all, even a highly verbal two-year-old doesn't have access to all the words and phrases that you do. If he's feeling frustrated, angry, sad or simply overwhelmed in the moment, your child may rely on some heavy-duty whining to get his point across.Whining usually gets worse when a kid is hungry or tired, so don't plan anything demanding (like a play date or trip to Home Depot) close to naptime or for when he hasn't eaten in a while. Schedule play dates after he has napped and had a snack, and don't expect a complaint-free shopping excursion in the late afternoon. The whining will pass as he continues to develop more verbal skills—at least until he's a teenager!

Not every cyclist is the practical sort of person, content with utilitarian accessories that perform their jobs and no more. The Bike Pump Deluxe would appeal to those riders who live life with a little more style, taking the opportunity to acquire something that is both functional and beautiful.
Esben Oxholm Bonde's design for this bicycle pump is one such product. It has the capacity to effectively resolve your flat tires, and even to reinflate your soccer ball. It does so, as others do, with the assistance of an integrated spring. The difference here is that this component features prominently in the aesthetic appeal of the Bike Pump Deluxe, manufactured from copper and paired with the sleek black body of the overall compact apparatus.

- As Macy's exits downtown St. Paul, what should replace it?
The unused skyway extending over Wabasha Street from Macy's department store in downtown St. Paul has been labeled by many "the skyway to nowhere." Now, three groups are calling it an eyesore and supporting its removal.
A community group known as Wabasha Partners, the Capitol River Council/ District 17 and the Skyway Governance Committee all have expressed desire to see "Skybridge 10" removed.
"We took a formal position at our November board meeting," said Melissa Martinez-Sones, director of the Capitol River Council. "It just hangs out like a little appendage. ... Now, we just want to take it down."
Dave Hunt, a spokesman for St. Paul Public Works, said city engineers have estimated the cost of removing the bridge at $40,000.
"The problem being, we don't have the spare $40,000 to spend on it," Hunt said.
Adds Sara Swenson, spokeswoman for the city's Department of Planning and Economic Development: "There are no definitive plans to remove the 'skyway to nowhere,' at this point."
Some city officials hope taxpayers won't have to foot that bill. If a developer eventually were to purchase the Macy's building and tear it down for redevelopment, the skyway would go with it.
The city-owned bridge once connected to a building at 401-405 Wabasha St., which was demolished in 2002 and is now an Imperial Parking lot.
Macy's plans to shut down its downtown St. Paul store in March, leaving the future of the skyway uncertain.
Macy's departure does not entirely end the department store's involvement downtown, as the store will continue to operate its adjoining parking ramp.

RedEnvelope Cutting Board
December 11, 2013 - Author: Amy - 28 CommentsAfter eating the Thanksgiving feast my mom single handedly made just weeks after a total hip replacement, dad and I sat down with a cup of freshly brewed coffee to relax and enjoy some pie.
Delicious pie that D made from scratch.
While he and my mom were in the kitchen cleaning up.
Suffice it to say that both my father and I married extremely well.
So recently, when I was generously contacted by RedEnvelope about some of their beautiful personalized products, my thoughts went more to D than to myself. (Not because I'm all that selfless, but because I could see more chocolate pecan pies in my future.)
I thought to myself, hmmm…. pecan pies require pecans, which require chopping. A cutting board, it is!
A very nice, cutting board, in fact!
Beautifully personalized.
And durable!
D was just as impressed with the board, and loved the personal touch.
(D's thumb of approval not pictured.)
If you're still short on Christmas ideas, here's a link to the wedding and anniversary section where this board came from. Tons of great gifts!
Thanks bunches to RedEnvelope for such a beautiful gift. I cannot WAIT to eat the pies this thing will help produce.
PS – I wasn't paid for this post – just wanted to share the awesomeness!

Lately I've been wondering this just as kind of an offhand thing.
On average, how many VPSs can be made per physical CPU in a system?
I do know the RAM and Hard Drive are also limiting factors, but someone recently told me that a single quad-core CPU would not be able to reliably support enough VPSs to actually use up much more than 16 GB of RAM, and a node with more than that should have more than one CPU in it.
Anyone here with some experience designing VPS nodes that they'd be willing to share? I already know to provision with lots of ram, and plan on at least RAID1 but preferrably RAID5 for storage. But this CPU thing bothers me, because you can't just break down the assignments numerically like you can for RAM and Storage on a non-oversold setup.


text:
Am I playing the Hero Limitation rule correct.
300 point Army, I am allowed maximum 2 platoons and a maximum 2 Heroes for my army. The 2 Hero Maximum inlcudes a Hero that I have as the Command Section. The only way to have a third Hero in a 300 point army would be to pay 5 AP plus the cost of the Hero in the Allied build?
Thanks for any clarrification.

A career full of adventure
When Stephen Juelsgaard came to Iowa State, he didn't know he'd go on to a monumental career in the biotech field, successfully guiding his company, Genentech, through a billion-dollar lawsuit and helping enforce several key patents. But he ended up doing just that -- and so much more. Which is why he was recently honored with the Iowa State Distinguished Alumni Award -- the highest honor given to alumni by Iowa State.
As an Iowa State-educated veterinary medicine practitioner and Stanford-educated lawyer, Juelsgaard's career has been one amazing adventure. He's served as Genentech's chief compliance officer and executive vice president. He's been on the board of directors for Ivivi Health Sciences and the African Wildlife Foundation. He was even appointed by California's lieutenant governor to sit on the governing board for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. And his journey began right here at Iowa State.
While he was here, it didn't take long for Juelsgaard to realize that his time at Iowa State would change the way he looked at the world. "From my very first day on campus, my eyes were opened to the diversity of the world," says Juelsgaard. "I experienced peoples and lifestyles and occupations and ways of thinking that gave me a wholly new perspective on the world around me. It was really the beginning of a journey that took me to a 24-year career that I loved."
Iowa State helped Juelsgaard discover the path he was meant to follow. And that's a tradition we're proud to continue, offering 100 majors and more than 800 clubs and organizations on campus for students to choose from. But no matter what path you take, one thing's for sure -- your Iowa State adventure is sure to distinguish you in whatever you choose to do.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Feather!
Facts about Feather
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Feather's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
I am a Shelter Pull Kitty! This means that when you adopt me, FOF can save another kitty from a high kill county shelter.'
Feather is one of dozens of cats we have saved from death at a county shelter in the past year. Although we are not in the habit of pulling cats from shelters, (we are usually full with our own rescues) we do what we can to help. Feather was dropped off by her owner along with another adult cat. When she first arrived here to FOF she was very shy and aloof. We were able to place her in a foster home recently where she has thrived. We see this with many cats; they really come out of their shells in a 'home' environment. She enjoys the company of other cats and is even sleeping on the bed with the foster parents now. Feather is still a very young adult at less than 2 years of age, and has a lot of life yet to live. We would love to see someone with a multi cat household and time to bond with her give her a chance!
***Update: Feather is once again being housed in our adoption center. Please come and meet this gem of a cat--she really wants to go home!
All of our kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.
If you are interested in adopting one of our kittens, please click here to fill out an Adoption Application. Our adoption fee is $85 for one kitten and $125 for two.
Our adoption center is located at 4600 Knapp NE 49525. Our open adoption hours are every Sunday from 12-2pm. Come on out and meet the love of your life!
For more information you can also email email@example.com.
Grand Kittenpalooza adoption event! Sunday Sept 15 11-2pm 4600 Knapp NE GR MI 49525. Dozens of kittens available for adoption. Drinks and snacks. See our facility and learn about volunteering as well

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Feather, a Byron Center Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Byron Center, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Byron Center.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Byron Center already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Byron Center breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Byron Center paves the way for another one to be saved.

Very similar to another company I have a CAPS call on - ROIC. Also a young company that invests in shopping center real estate and is run by an experienced management team. The difference is that EXL is smaller and cheaper based on valuation metrics (P/AFFO, P/B, P/CF, etc.). Add that to the fact that REITs have been hammered lately by tapering concerns, and I think that this is probably a safe long-term bet.
Well-managed retail REIT with favorable price/AFFO.

The WatershedThe Sheepscot River watershed reaches 58 miles from Montville to Boothbay, and is about 360 square miles including Sheepscot Bay. The watershed includes over 40 lakes and ponds and portions of 22 towns in 4 counties. The Sheepscot River includes a highly productive five mile-long estuary from Head Tide in Alna to Wiscasset. The river then flows another twenty some miles through Sheepscot Bay to the larger Gulf of Maine. Under Maine state law, the Sheepscot River is designated as an Outstanding River Segment. The Sheepscot is also one of eight Maine rivers that provide essential fish habitat for the federally endangered native Atlantic salmon. Numerous other fish, including striped bass, shortnose sturgeon, American shad, and alewife, also spawn in the river and return to the Gulf of Maine. Brook trout thrive in the river, as do sticklebacks, perch, shiners, and others. Fish and invertebrates attract osprey, eagles and other mammals that feast on the river's abundance. The river's tidal mud flats support rare oysters, marine invertebrates and rare plant species, and its forested banks provide habitat for moose, white-tailed deer, and many smaller riparian mammals. Although much of the Sheepscot River has the state's highest water quality rating, buffering conditions are fragile and the watershed faces a variety of threats. These include high nutrient loadings, sediment from eroding banks, elevated temperatures, and relatively low levels of dissolved oxygen. Furthermore, land use and development patterns within the watershed are changing, inviting increased water quality problems associated with roads and other impervious surfaces. Threats to water quality in the Sheepscot watershed require special attention to land use practices, road maintenance, pollution sources, and future planning. Preservation of the abundant resources and beauty of the watershed require coordinated efforts and lasting stewardship. Please join us! |

Have a special meal
We started the tradition of making German pancakes for breakfast last Easter (our daughter's first) and it is something I hope to continue. I have other friends who make a special Easter bread or a specific Easter dinner meal as well – the routine of knowing that a special meal awaits you during a holiday is always fun. Even though your little one may not be eating tons of foods yet, you can always adapt the meal to include a little something special for your baby until he or she is a little older and more able to eat your special holiday meal.
Don some dapper duds
Every year when I was growing up, we got a new Easter outfit to wear to church on Easter Sunday and I remember that while some of my friends looked forward to getting an Easter basket, I was eagerly anticipating my new fancy dress. This is a tradition I've started with my daughter and I can't wait until she's a little bit older and can help with choosing her own outfit.
Have an Easter photo shoot
I love any excuse for a photo shoot, but it doesn't have to be professional (the above photo from @natspencer's Instagram profile documenting her baby's DIY Easter photo shoot is full proof). Just gather some holiday-themed props, your baby and a cute background and start snapping away!

Put together an Easter basket
Putting together an Easter basket for your little one is a tradition that many people partake in and while your little one may not be eating sweets yet, there are still plenty of fun and creative things you can stash in their Easter basket (*I'll be including a new swimsuit in Fern's basket – get creative!).

Have an Easter egg hunt
Last year our daughter was too little to have an Easter egg hunt, but this year, I think we might give it a whirl. I doubt she would care much what we put inside, but at 14 months, I'm pretty sure she'd still enjoy picking up the eggs and putting them in a basket. This will be such a fun tradition to start with her this year!
Plant something
Spring has sprung, so why not celebrate it by taking time to plant something in your garden at this time each year? Even Baby can help out – even if that only means digging his or her feet in the dirt. This tradition would be a lot of fun, with the added bonus of making your garden a prettier place!
DIY an Easter craft
Even though crafty activities are a little more limited with tiny tots, there are still plenty of age-appropriate DIYs out there and you could definitely find something to incorporate a fun little project into your Easter plans. Whip up some pipe cleaner bunny ears or make a baby chick using baby handprints. There are tons of great ideas!
Have family time
Above all, make the day about spending quality family time together, no mater what that means for you and your family. For us, that means having a family breakfast and going to church and then spending the afternoon with family and having Easter dinner. But it can mean something different for everyone. I actually love the idea of ending the day with a family movie night – maybe once our little is a bit older. Just make the holiday your own and it will be memorable for the entire family.

What did You put in Your book today
Was it an angry word?
Did sin in my heart, this tongue betray
What did You write, Dear Lord?
Did finest silver, flow from my lips
Or gold of devotion to Thee?
Were precious stones of prayer, eclipsed
By self and acrimony?
Wood, hay and stubble, are all I own
As I ponder eternity
Riches in Jesus Christ, are mine
Yet a pauper, I come to Thee
Hewn out cisterns, repair and replete
A vessel of honour, I'd be
Give me a glimpse, of Thy Judgement Seat
And the Saviour, who died for me
Challenged tonight by dear brother Leonard Ravenhill. If you are unfamiliar with his ministry, you will be blessed. Oh God, stamp eternity and judgement on my eyeballs too. Our life is a vapour, as the grass of the field, that withers away. Only one life, will soon be past.

Helsingborgs IF (alternative spelling Hälsingborgs IF , commonly referred to as Helsingborg and locally HIF, is a Swedish football club located in Helsingborg. They are currently playing in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan. The club, formed 4 June 1907, has won five national championship titles and five national cup titles. Helsingborgs IF have also won Allsvenskan on two occasions when the title of Swedish champions was not decided by the outcome of that league.[1][A]
Helsingborg was a founder member of Allsvenskan, and between 1924 and 1968 they spent all but two seasons in the top division, and won the league five times. At the end of the 1968 season, HIF was relegated, and while most people initially expected a quick return, they went on to spend the next 24 seasons in the lower leagues before finally getting promoted back to the top flight in 1992. Since returning to Allsvenskan in 1993, Helsingborg has remained in the top division, winning the league twice in 1999 and 2011.
The club is affiliated to the Skånes Fotbollförbund.[2]
The club was formed in 1907 after the merger of Svithiod and Stattena (not to be confused with the Stattena IF of today), and the club played their first game on 6 June 1907, beating neighbours IFK Helsingborgs 6–2. Otto Malm was a star of the team; in the 1911–12 season he scored 69 goals in only 24 games. At the end of his time at Helsingborgs IF he had played 500 games and scored 735 goals. The year after the club's formation, John Pettersson joined as club president, and during his tenure the club won the league five times. The year after, the club changed their kit from white shirts and blue shorts to red shirts and blue shorts, as well as winning the Scandinavian Championships. In 1914 the club lost in the final of the Svenska Cupen (Swedish Cup) and also in the Svenssons Cup. That year the club were invited to play in the Swedish Series, but declined because they thought that playing friendlies brought higher attendances. Additionally, the club's players were part-time, meaning that regular away matches would have been impractical. On 30 May 1915, the club lost 5–4 to Gӧta in the District Championships. 1918 again saw the club finish second the Svenska Cupen, after losing to IFK Göteborg.
With the arrival of Norwegian manager Åge Hareide things started to look very good for the first time in many years. During Hareides first year HIF finished 2nd in the league and won Allsvenskan in 1999, for the first time since 1941.
Following the World Cup break however, Henrik Larsson arrived at Helsingborg along with a new manager, Stuart Baxter, and Helsingborg started to win matches. After victory in the derby and a 3–2 win at home against IFK Göteborg, Helsingborg finished in fourth place in the league and as winners in the Svenska Cupen after a 2–0 victory over Gefle IF in the cup final.
After a pretty mediocre season Helsingborg finished 8th in the league and everyones expectations were very low before the upcoming UEFA Cup qualifiers. Helsingborg however managed to make it to the group stage after eliminating the Dutch team SC Heerenveen. Helsingborg ended up in the same group as FC Girondins de Bordeaux, Galatasaray S.K, FK Austria Wien and Panionios F.C.
With wins against Galatasaray and Austria Wien, a draw against Panionios and a loss against Bordeaux, Helsingborg finished second in the group and faced PSV Eindhoven in the round of 32. PSV won 2–0 at home and 2–1 away. Stuart Baxter had left the club shortly after the loss against FC Girondins de Bordeaux following a disagreement with the club president Sten-Inge Fredin and was replaced with the club's Director of Football Bo Nilsson. It was from the beginning only supposed to be temporary but after a few months of good results, Nilsson was contracted for the whole season.
Before the season 2010 HIF introduced new management. A new manager was introduced, Conny Karlsson, who together with Reine Almqvist was to lead a new HIF. The club also introduced a new chairman, Claes Ohlsson. He took a more quiet approach to the job than his predecessor, Sten-Inge Fredin. Together with the sports director Jesper Jansson, who had been with the club since 2008, they led HIF into the new season.
With home-coming men Erik Edman (left the club in 1999) and Mattias Lindström (left the club in 2004), the club had a wonderful start to the season. Even though HIF were on top of the league far into the season (they held their 1st position until the 22nd round), they were eventually beaten by bitter rivals Malmö FF. HIF finished second in the league. In the cup they had better fortune and won the final away 1-0 against Hammarby IF after a goal by Rasmus Jönsson. Marcus Lantz was named Årets HIFare (Helsingborg player of the year).
During winter, two important players: Captain Marcus Lantz and defender Joel Ekstrand left the club for rivals Landskrona BoIS and Serie A side Udinese respectively. During the pre-season, Erik Edman made the headlines when he criticized the quality of the team's training sessions, stating that HIF were risking relegation, should they not improve. HIF started the season victorious in the Supercupen (a one-game cup between the league winners and cup winners the previous season), where they faced off against Malmö FF (2-1). In contrary to the previous season, Conny Karlsson had it rough in the beginning of the league season. Several players were criticizing the management and individual player development, even though the team was in 1st place in the league. The team with coaches regrouped and kept winning league games. However, during the season several important players were sold. Marcus Nilsson and Alexander Gerndt were acquired by FC Utrecht and Rasmus Jönsson left for VfL Wolfsburg. Also, Peter Larsson's loan ended and he went back to Copenhagen, after Helsingborg failed to match the danes' transfer fee demands. Experienced Norwegian duo Thomas Sørum and Erlend Hanstveit were brought in, as well as club legend Álvaro Santos, who had previously left the club for FC København in 2003.
Throughout the entire season HIF held a comfortable lead and was able to secure the league trophy three games from the end. After the last game of the season, HIF focused on winning the Swedish Cup, making it the first team in Swedish history to win a treble, comprising Super Cup, League and Swedish Cup titles. In the cup final HIF were the superior team and won against Kalmar FF 3-1. After the season, central midfielder May Mahlangu was named Allsvenskan player of the year. Goalkeeper Pär Hansson was named "Årets HIFare", Helsingborg player of the year.

Congrats tjost! love it!

I can agree with you on that. Honestly those pills look a lot like Vicodin. I could totally see how someone could mistake this for a drug reference. But who the heck cares in the end anyway!
Concensus seems to be that "Crazy Pills" would have been a far better name for this shirt than "Placebo Party." Nu
All this time I thought I was really taking "Crazy Pills", turns out they had me on placebos. That's the last time I sign up for a clinical trial offering "FINANCIAL COMPENSATION $$$".

Lancaster is more like the Sturgis or Pittsburgh of California. Haven't been to Fresno or Bakersfield, so I cannot tell which is more Kentuckyish.
All these comparisons of places to Kentucky make me wonder if any of those who are comparing have actually been to Kentucky?
The description really reminds me of Puck's intro in A Midsummer Night's Rave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-mRHQgZC1M
Ah!!! I can't believe I missed this awesome shirt! :[ Time to shell out five extra dollars... *sigh*
I've never even heard of any of those drugs on the write up, but I looked them all up, and they are all real drugs. And on a side note, Even though this just mentions placebos, it would have been a challenge to do a funny write-up without mentioning drugs.
Not "from" Kentucky, just live here. lolz it would be more offensive if Fresno were compared to Alabama... or Indiana. =O Maybe this place is teh suck, and I have just lived here too long and no longer notice! Don't drink the water!

i hope so, i got one the day it went on sale, but i've gotten so many comments on it wearing it around that i need about 5 more for friends. even the grandma who does the greating at walmart loved it. haha
its only 9 pills, so no. my sister takes a little more then 60 pills a day, 5 different eye drops (4x a day), 2 kinds of insulin, 2 inhalers, and 2 nebulizers. she has cystic fibrosis, diabetes, is blind in one eye, and has 20/300 vision in the other. so... no its not at all bad that you know someone who takes 9 pills.

Adobe Illustrator 9
I've used Illustrator since version 1.0 and every upgrade since. Previous versions have been pretty much aimed at print designers and although it has made the occasional nod in the direction of Web designers, it has never been quite so useful in that department as its stablemates, Photoshop and ImageReady.
Photoshop has never been great for setting type though. Its clumsy text editing box and poor kerning have always made me revert to Illustrator for that particular task and then I drag and drop the Illustrator type into Photoshop to produce the final GIF files. Illustrator could export to GIF, but you never knew quite what you were going to get until you opened the file in Photoshop or in a browser, and the optimisation was not all that hot.
There are lots of new features in Illustrator 9, but the most significant one for Web designers is the inclusion of the Photoshop/ImageReady Save for Web window with its one, two or four-up optimised views and settings pop-ups. Coupled with the new Pixel Preview, which shows exactly what elements will look like when converted to (relatively) low resolution Web graphics, theres no more guesswork - a huge improvement.
And, at long last, Illustrator now properly supports transparency. Illustrator 8 needed a third party plug-in to make objects transparent and its main competitor, Macromedia Freehand, has had this ability for a long time. Of course, where transparency is concerned, GIFs only support all or nothing and JPEGs dont support transparency at all, but PNG-24s allow 256 levels of transparency so you can have a gradation running from a solid colour into clear so that the background gradually shows through. PNG-24 files dont have a lot of support in browsers yet, and they tend to have larger file sizes than GIF or JPEG.
Illustrator is a vector graphic program and its only natural that it should be able to handle vector-based Web graphics formats. It can export in both Flash (SWF) and Scaleable Vector Graphics (SVG) formats. Not only can it export individual Flash frames, but just like ImageReady's ability to convert Photoshop layers into an animated GIF, Illustrator layers can be exported to animated Flash files. One good trick is to morph shapes using the shape blending tool, Release to Layers to put each individual blend on a separate layer and then export the layers to a Flash file where the objects will transform before your eyes.
SVG is similar to Flash in some ways, it is also vector-based, but the method of working with SVG files is quite different. Where Flash embeds the scripting and interaction into the SWF file, SVG animation and interaction is controlled by scripts on the page itself, so you could use JavaScript, for instance, to make things happen - rollovers, click actions etc. and you can define these within the SVG Interactivity palette in Illustrator. It supplies the appropriate coding for the page automatically.
Other new features in Illustrator 9 include live object and layer effects - drop shadows, glows etc, which can be applied to the objects without changing the underlying paths or text, and new linked layers, which lets any layer have sub-layers that all stay together when moved or manipulated.
Where Illustrator use to be nice to have for Web designers, it is now imperative to have. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities yet still retains its intuitive interface, excellent drawing and type tools and family relationship to Photoshop and ImageReady.
