Today I saw a Dracaena Massangeana in a home improvement store that sold at 37.99€. Very high price! But the plant looked quite different than normal Dracaena Massangeana. It had much longer leaves. I wonder it's a new variety. I hope someone could ID it for me. Thanks! |

That is pricey for such a cheap plant. Alomst a rippoff. Yet it is so healthy. It is the same variety. but the proper name is Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana'. The species is fragrans and the variety is massangeana. fragrans is plain green in the wild. |

TG, you are familiar with all species of Dracaena and their cultivars and hybrids, and their behavior in a pot vs. in the wild? As you should be learning in school, when quoting info, you should include the source. Spell check is your friend. |

"such a cheap plant"...?!! Supply meets demand. Anyone in the trade knows what a customer is willing to pay and sets the price accordingly. If I was to call something in your collection "cheap",..something tells me you would be insulted by that. ....Just saying. |

i didnot take this from any one source. i have known that for years. my grandmother taught me most of my information. if i give info to somebody info from a external site, I give a LINK!!!!! |

Please don't yell at Purp. :( |
Because of the price I thought the plant was a new cultivar that they imported from USA. Normally the prices of plants in Germany are much more higher than in US, as here is cold and dark most of the time. The nurseries need to heat their greenhouses and provide extra artificial light for their plants 7 months of the year. However, I have the Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' with short and hanging down leaves at home. The plant in the photo does look different with its long and pointing up leaves. It looks very elegant like a Cordyline with Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' leaves. That's why it's so confusing. |

I'm sorry, TG. Was just pretty sure you haven't been "in the wild" with Dracs. Of course your gramma is/was(?) a brilliant plant-o-phile, I forgot about her. If this is a "corn plant" it's not like any I've seen before. I couldn't find a pic of any with such long, upright leaves. Maybe it is one but it's a GIANT cutting from a huge tree in the wild? (Oh brother, in the wild again?!) Did you take any other pics, Hank? Wouldn't 38 Euros be around $60? That seems a likely price for a plant this size. Corn plant is very common, but one that big wouldn't be inexpensive. The last time I saw a Drac I didn't recognize it ended up being a type I'd never heard of before. Maybe FW will know what this one is too. |

Hey, yea, corn plants are our friends. I agree Purple, this looks like a cutting, tho probably not from the wild, but from a nice big healthy plant growing in lots of light, hence the wide upright leaves and vivid yellow striping in the middle. Fragrans tend to lose their yellow coloration if they remain in lower (typical indoor) light for very long. Of course, there might also be new cultivars floating around out there. I'm going to have to visit some of my professional friends to get some catalogues - I knew I should have gone to TPIE this year. BTW, Hank, do you know if there are growers in the southern climes who supply these plants? Italy, Israel, Turkey, wherever? Can you ask the store where their suppliers are located? I'd be interested to know. |
Thanks everyone for the contributions. @purpleinopp: I don't have other photo. I will take another one, when I am there next time. Normally taking photo of a product in a store is prohibited here. However, I will take it secretly. :) @theficuswrangler: Sorry, I don't know any growers in southern Europe. I will ask the store about their suppliers, when I visit it. By the way I have been asking few bloggers the ID of this plants and googling it too. I found a website that describe Dracaena fragrans "Chinto" (should be "Cintho") and I believe this is the plant in my photo! But the plant in my photo is more vigorous. I am waiting for the answers from two bloggers to double confirm, as it's very difficult to identify plants, when we don't see it personally. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dracaena fragrans "Chinto"

I followed the link on Hank's reply, and here's what I think. The pic of the "chinco" variety looked just like a regular fragrans chronically underwatered. In other words, a fragrans that never gets enough water will develop leaves that curl under along the length of the leaf, which will produce leaves that appear narrow, with extremely narrowed lower part where they emerge from the stem. Now, there may well be a cultivar named chinco, or whatever, and it may indeed have more narrow leaves than normal, but until I actually see specifics from the actual grower, I remain unconvinced. |
Yesterday I went to another home improvement store where I saw Dracaena fragrans "Cintho" and Dracaena fragrans "Massangeana" at the same spot. I compared both of them. Their differences are: 1. The growth form of D. "Cintho" is like D. "Gold Coast" and D. "Yellow Coast." However I have just proved that the plant in my photo isn't D. "Cintho". Probably tomorrow I will visit the home improvement store where I took my photo for further examination. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sat, May 25, 13 at 23:55
If D. "Cintho" leaves look like they have petioles then mine isn't the same. It's always difficult with varieties. Any differences are usually jumped on and cloned so nurseries can sell something no one else has. I checked all of mine and have 2 types. The tallest is 4 to 5 metres with a number of trunks/stems. The others are from cuttings someone gave me a year or so ago, so much smaller. I like the look of all of them, regardless of what their names might be. One of my other species of Dracaena is flowering now, the fragrance is really great. Other species are budding up, so it'll be their turn soon. |
Today I went to the store again and the Dracaena is gone. What a relief! As I saved 37,99€, but I saw a big variegated Dracaena that sold at 144,99€. Below is its photo. However I received a reply from my plant expert "pen-pal" who lives in the Netherlands. This is what he said: 'Massangeana' is a rather amorphous cultivar -nowadays we mean broad-leafed with a white stripe in the middle, but originally D. massangeana was described as a species from the Belgian Congo. I assume it was originally not variegated but this trait later became associated with the name. Unfortunately the original Belgian publication is rather obscure, I can't find a copy, but I assume it was distinguished from normal fragrans due to it's wider leaves and thicker stems. The plant at the home improvement store looks like regular old Massangeana. The price is high for Dutch standards. As far as I can tell, 'Cintho' is a new cultivar (or just a trademark?) exclusively marketed in Europe by Ammerlaan of the Netherlands. The trunks are grown in Costa Rica for 2-10 years then exported bare, the trunks are resprouted over here. It is not available in the USA. All places selling this plant in Europe and Russia buy it from Ammerlaan at the Dutch auction houses, or have it remarketed to them from the same source. I suspect it may be the medioaureovariegated form of one of the East African 'steudneri' forms of D. fragrans (and not a real steudneri), but it may just be a mutant (more petiolate and with clearer/more stable mid-stripe) sport of 'Massangeana'. The leaf aspect is not a good characteristic - the difference in droopiness in your plant is likely environmental. |

Senegalese defender Cheikhou Kouyate's agent claims he has held talks with Arsenal over a potential move and has said that Arsenal have shown positive response and are 'very interested'. Reports last year claimed that Kouyate was very close to the move to Emirates but the transfer stalled due to the work permit issues.
He's since been granted a Belgian passport which means he's able to move to any European club and it appears a switch to Arsenal could be back on.
The players agent, Saffet Balkan, has been quoted in today's press as saying that he has been in talks with both Arsenal and Liverpool about a move to the Premier League, but we hold the most serious interest and he expects his client to move to England 'soon'. He said, "I have been in talks with representatives from Liverpool and Arsenal over Cheikhou Kouyate. Arsenal are very interested in Kouyate. It's very likely that he'll be joining a Premier League club soon."
The 24-year-old is a beast of a centre-back, standing at 6 foot 4 inches, so he'd certainly give us a presence at the back if he does end up joining but considering the form of Arsenal's current defense pair he will most likely to be used as a Centre Back.

Excellent Fountain Pen....
Excellent Fountain Pen. The Brown and Black Marbled color is quite nice, I Love
it. I'm using it with Diamine Saddle Brown Ink in a CON-20 converter.
It's barrel is a bit larger than the Pilot Cavalier Single colored and I've read it can take a CON-50 Converter, which I have not tried yet. The golden Pilot Fine nib is identical to the Pilot Cavalier single colored.. They are basically the same except larger barrel which should accommodate a CON-50, and it's barrel color is very very nice. Both Excellent Fountain Pens. The nib is lightly flexible, and does not scratch. The cap doesn't click when posted like the regular Cavalier. No skipping or problems with it /ink/ at writing. |

Great Fountain Pen. Thin...
Great Fountain Pen. Thin Barrel, for a fountain pen. Nice Red Color. Solid, well
made. The Cap click on when closed, AND with the cap is posted when in use. So,
it stays there.
Used as my everyday pen. Depending on paper and ink, the writing/lines can be thick a bit.. but that's not the pens' fault, even then, lines are still thin and nice. The nib can be forced upon to get much thicker lines if needed, but I prefer fine lines, so this pens is quite good. I've used it with the pilot black cartridge and Diamine Syrah ink with a CON-20 converter. It works well either way. 1 person found this helpful

Nashville, TN Headshots
[Not a valid template]
Headshots are a large part of my business.
I do head shots for models, actors, musicians, and
businesses on a regular basis.
WHEN & WHERE: I generally do headshots days once a
month at my studio in Downtown Nashville, typically on a Saturday morning.
If you need a headshot in a rush that is not on one of
my scheduled headshot days I can accommodate you but the charge is
slightly higher than on headshot days.
MAKE-UP, HAIR, ETC.: On headshot days I also have a
makeup artist present and a photo assistant. If you use the make up
artist there is a fee of $100-$150.
THE LOOK: When you come for a headshot there are a variety of background options available in the
studio and we also have various colors of seamless paper. A typical
headshot session will consist of 1 look (shirt/background) and I will
take anywhere from 100-150 photos of you in different poses. With the
typical one look headshot you will get to select one photo to have
retouched at the included price.
ADDITIONAL LOOKS: I also provide 2 and 3 look head
shots (2-3 changes of clothes/background). With the 2 and 3 look head
shots you get one photo retouched per look.
GETTING YOUR IMAGE: After your session I will
upload the files to my computer and burn you a disk of sample size
images (800px long edge 72dpi) to use as proofs. After you have viewed
the images you will e-mail me the file number of the photo that you
want to have retouched. The retouched files will be sized to your specs.
I also offer cooperate discounts for larger groups and companies.
Please call or e-mail me for rates and availability.

Harvesting Papers
The Harvesting Project papers present findings from the CECR data harvesting project and discuss lessons learned from the first two cohorts of TIF Grantees.
Resolving Some Issues in Using Value-Added Measures of Productivity for School and Teacher Incentives
Although many researchers and policy analysts consider value-added to be the state of the art in school and teacher productivity measurement, only a minority of TIF Round 1 and 2 grantees used value added as a measure of school or teacher performance. Along with the difficulty in linking teachers to students using existing administrative databases, many grantees encountered other issues that took considerable time and effort to resolve. This paper discusses four of these issues and potential solutions, based on research and grantee experience: 1) What is the "right" value-added model; 2) value-added estimates for smaller schools and classrooms; 3) using value-added estimates when there are very few schools or classrooms to compare; and 4) appropriate value-added cutoff points for receiving bonus payments.
Meeting the Challenges of Fiscal and Programmatic Sustainability: Lessons From Teacher Incentive Fund Grantees
This paper describes the ways in which TIF grantees have approached fiscal and programmatic sustainability. Specifically, the paper addresses three questions: (1) What fiscal and programmatic sustainability challenges have TIF grantees faced? (2) What approaches to fiscal and programmatic sustainability have grantees taken? (3) What lessons can grantees learn about sustaining PBCS in our current economic climate?
Evaluating Student-Teacher Linkage Data in Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) Sites: Acquisition, Verification, and System Development
Data Quality Harvesting Paper: Findings from an exploratory study of eight TIF grantees in how they acquired, verified, and managed their student-teacher linkage data through system development.
Meeting the Challenges of Stakeholder Engagement and Communication: Lessons From Teacher Incentive Fund Grantees
Discussion of what stakeholder engagement and communication challenges have TIF grantees faced, what types of technical assistance they requested, and communications/ stakeholder engagement lessons learned from the first two cohorts.

Misconduct Report: December 2014
Nourse nominated to U.S. Court of Appeals
From Judgepedia
July 14, 2010
Washington, D.C.: President Obama nominated Victoria F. Nourse to a federal judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit on July 14th. Professor Nurse has taught law at the University of Wisconsin since 1993. She has also worked as a law clerk, a private practice lawyer, and has served on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and for the U.S. Department of Justice. The President claimed, "Throughout her career Victoria Nourse has shown a commitment to justice."[1]

As Sandra Hand's story at BodyLogix.com attests, top executives' eyes widen at the thought of working for dot.com companies. That's partly because there's always the chance they might earn more money than a Saudi oil sheik when the company goes public and partly because of the thrilling idea of riding in the front car of the fastest roller coaster around. The combination of cash and cachet can't be undersold. After all, there's a little Las Vegas in everyone.
"It's so easy to get caught up in the Web initial public offering craze," notes Ethan Winning, a Walnut Creek, California, expert on business growth trends and the author of the self-published book Labor Pains: Employer and Employee Rights and Obligations. "Everyone wants to work for the company that's going to become the next Yahoo!. That's fine if you're an owner of a small e-commerce business--trump that side of the mix all you want when you're recruiting.
"If you're running a non-technical company, you're not competing against the dot.com companies. Let them fight it out for themselves with the big signing bonuses and fat financial packages. You don't have to play that game." Even though the media plays up successful tech IPOs, most Internet stock IPOs never pan out. After all, more Internet start-ups fail than succeed. Non-Internet companies can compete with options like extended flextime and generous vacation packages.
Signing bonuses can do more harm than good in small companies, says Winning. Information in small businesses flows like beer at a frat party, and resentments can grow if too much of a company's money is targeted toward one individual. "Adding signing bonuses to the package is bad business," Winning explains. "If you give bonuses out, then you're going to have some disgruntled employees stewing about who didn't receive such a bonus. I tell the business owners I talk to, `Decide how much you can afford to pay in salary and stock options, and then walk away if a candidate wants all that and a bonus, too.' "
Another advantage an established small business has over start-up dot.coms is a track record. Management candidates can ask around and get a feel for your company. That's a big advantage when dealing with talented executives who don't like surprises. "One of the most important considerations for hiring top talent is your company's image," says Winning. "And more often than not, that image is conveyed by your current employees. If your employees speak highly of your company, and the management is involved with their employees' happiness and success, you have a better shot at landing a big recruit."
Workplace culture manifests itself in many forms. At Incentive Systems, an $8 million enterprise incentive compensation management firm based in Burlington, Massachusetts, the company's founder and CEO, Elizabeth Cobb, has bagged her share of top managers. On one day alone, Cobb landed a new CFO and a sales-and-strategic-alliances director. Her company's chief architect and co-founder was a lead developer of Lotus 1-2-3 and her new CTO developed the PowerSite Web software package at Powersoft. "In such a short time, we've succeeded in building a formidable team," explains the 46-year-old Cobb, who rolled out her company in June 1997.
Cobb, the first woman to run Honeywell's advanced engineering training program back in the 1970s, when female engineering directors were about as rare as Rush Limbaugh sightings at a hemp rally, credits her recruitment success to her company's motivation-based management techniques. "Recruiting top talent is at the heart of good business," she explains. "And getting good help is the same as getting new customers: You've got to motivate them."
Cobb believes the carrot-and-stick approach is the best way to attract new managers. But don't just dangle the carrot in front of their noses, she adds--let them grab it, taste it and ask for more.
But you're also trying to get job candidates to do the same things you want customers to do--buy into your company mission, Cobb says. "You've got to bend a lot to fit people's lifestyles into your system, but if they buy into what you're doing, the rest comes naturally."

(appearing courtesy of THE HERO INITIATIVE TIMES)
For the last few years, the Hero Initiative has raised funds through our "100 Covers" projects. Publishers generously donate blank covers which we send out to 100 artists to draw an original piece on. The covers are assembled into attractive books (all of which are on sale via Hero's Website!) and then auctioned off. All proceeds give financial aid to creators in need.
I'm proud to announce that the company I helped co-found 20 years ago, Image Comics, has joined fellow publishers Marvel, DC and Archie in contributing to this project. Image and its Skybound Entertainment division will be offering THE WALKING DEAD 100 for Hero's latest "100 Cover" project.
The Walking Dead is one of the most successful books in Image's history. It has inspired a hit television show and issue 100 was the best selling book of the year (if not the best selling book of the last ten years!).
Already signed up to create original covers are Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman (yes, he's going to draw a cover!), Fiona Staples, Arthur Suydam, Kevin Eastman, Tim Seeley, Dan Brereton, Jim Calafiore, Ted McKeever, Charlie Adlard and a host of others!
The Hero Initiative would like to thank Robert Kirkman and everyone at Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment for their generosity in contributing to this worthwhile endeavor, and, of course, all participating artists.

I think this sexism call is off. With the Cougar crash still so very fresh and with the need for safety being so much in the limelight it is no surprise at all that the appointment became an issue.
- Herb Morrison

The failed attempts to appoint both Andy Wells and Elizabeth Matthews to the CNLOPB were alleged to have been politically motivated patronage appointments. It was common knowledge at the time, that then-Premier Danny Williams favoured Andy Wells for the position as head of the CNLOPB. It is alleged that the same Danny Williams orchestrated Ms. Matthews appointment to the CNLOPB before he left office last December. Neither the gender of Andy QWells or the gender of Elizabeth Matthews had anything to do with their being touted for positions on the CNLOPB or the subsequent objections raised concerning the attempts to appoint them to the CNLOPB. Concerns were raised because it was alleged that both the appointments were acts of political patronage and because it was alleged that both Andy Wells and Elizabeth Matthews klacked the necessary qualifications to serve on the CNLOPB. Sexism wasn't an issue in either case..

Perhaps you're not up on current events but the federal conservatives were not brought down because of the budget. Also, you seem to have forgotten about the Andy Wells fiasco CNLOPB. The only people who supported him were from St. john's and that was because they wanted him gone as mayor. Sexism isn't limited to one gender.

In Soul Reaver on page 121 for the NPC Anyalra it lists her weapon damage for her mono blades as 1d10+7, whip as 1d10+6 and unharmed 1d10+6.
I think these values have been calculated incorrectly.
Her Best Craftmenship mono blades have a base damage of 1d10:
Add +3 (Strength Bonus), +1 (Best Craftmenship Melee), +2 (Crushing Blow*) = Total 1d10+6
Her Best Craftmenship Razorflail have a base damage of 1d10+2:
Add +3 (Strength Bonus), +1 (Best Craftmenship Melee), +2 (Crushing Blow*) = Total 1d10+8
Her Unarmed have a base damage of 1d10 (She has Unarmed Warrior and Master talents):
Add +3 (Strength Bonus), +2 (Crushing Blow*) = Total 1d10+5
* The values of Crushing Blow are using the ones in the Rogue Trader rule book, I think I remember in Black Crusade and Only War they make the talent do increased damage based on half your WS value round down, gets a nice reture for high WS users.
Are my calcuations correct or have I messed up in some way? I have looked at a few of the other NPCs in the book and they seem to have correct values.

Lets Make a Soccer Team
Let's make a better game next time.
Think back to your childhood, think of the most unfortunately named individual at your school. Adam Twatt (pronounced Twott apparently) had without exception the most unfortunate name in my school or perhaps in any school for that matter. Sega's 'Let's Make a Soccer Team' (LMST forthwith) is similarly unfortunate and no doubt destined to be the subject of ridicule amongst its sniggering contemporaries. In a genre full of bland grown up names like LMA Manager and Championship Manager, Sega's 'LMST sits alongside its peers about as comfortably as Ronald MacDonald would do alongside the IBM board of directors.
And that is just for starters, open the box, put the game into your PS2 and you will be blessed with one of the most tedious and poorly executed games of our time. The game begins with the offbeat but interesting introduction of a plot, undoubtedly a first for a football manager game. Within minutes of beginning, a businessman offers to buy out whatever team you happen to be playing as on the condition that you win the playoffs. And so armed only with vast amounts of soccer knowledge, wit and quick thinking it is the players charge to guide their team through a promotion tournament; win and the next league becomes available, lose and it's back to square one. The emphasis here is on running a club as a whole as opposed to the strictly managerial role adopted by other games of the genre. This may be a refreshing premise to hang a manager game on but due to the utterly uninspired micro management system and menus that are clunkier than a lorry load of Lego, the experience soon starts to pall.
Both on and off the field there is a sense that the player has little involvement with the onscreen
action. During matches the prompts available are limited and appear to have little effect on the outcome of any given match. In the dugout there are all of the options that one would expect of a football manager game but the loading times between menus are long enough to inspire no small measure of frustration in the player and again the effects of changing the various options and laboriously sculpting your team seem to be minimal. The whole game soon begins to feel like it is on rails and the reasons for interjecting a weak narrative backbone soon become painfully apparent.
All of the basic manager menus are here but there is a dearth of statistical depth and the absence of licensed players also limits the games capacity to engage its audience through its source material. In the east this may not be such a problem but the other more apparent design flaws do nothing to convince that this game suffers from being lost in translation. In fact some of the localisation is downright shoddy with choice phrases such as "Just like our supporters believe, I do definitely." eliciting belly laughs but for all the wrong reasons.
One of the more amusing yet still ultimately pointless additions to the game is the option to choose a secretary. This choice can be made based on such vital personal attributes as wether or not she is afraid of crabs or if she is fond of crying. There is the option to communicate with various other members of club staff but the persistent clumsiness of execution is enough to cause even the most patient of players to give up in a hell broth of boredom and irritation.
During actual matches there is the option to view the action in full and glorious 3D. In 1995 the
engine that is used for this part of LMST would have been impressive but in this day in age falls woefully short of the mark. And in spite of this the live matches are probably deserved of best feature accolade, however in a game plagued with a series of misfires this is not much of a compliment. Why SEGA are still plugging this admittedly popular (in the eastern territories) but ultimately turgid half breed title when they have a perfectly respectable football management sim already is anybodies guess.
So there you have it, if you like dated visuals, frustratingly awkward menus and secretaries that are afraid of crustaceans LMST is undoubtedly for you. Although not a full price title LMST is exactly the sort of game to be avoided; in the PS2's last few weeks of tenure it would have been nice to see something refreshing in the sports management genre come to light. Unfortunately all we are left with is an ill informed and uninspired game gasping it's last as the curtain closes on the PS2.

Clunky menus, no statistical depth and a horrible micro management system all help to make this nearly unplayable. |
Poor presentation, no flair whatsoever and a 3D engine from the dark ages. | ||||
One of the least awful aspects of the game, I could not stop humming the theme tune for days. |
Even as a cut price title LMST is still a waste of anybodies money, unless you enjoy tedium. | ||||
Looks, sounds and plays like a lump of concrete. |
Utter tripe. Avoid at all costs, one of the worst examples of it's genre. |

The Toronto Raptors announced Monday they have traded forward James Johnson to the Sacramento Kings for a 2014 second-round draft choice. The Kings will absorb the remainder of Johnson's contract providing the Raptors with additional roster and salary cap flexibility.
"The addition of Landry Fields and Terrence Ross created some crowding at the wing positions," said Raptors President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo. "This move frees up minutes for our players under contract, increases our financial flexibility and opens up a roster spot to address other needs."
Johnson averaged 9.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 25.2 minutes in 62 games last season. He was acquired from Chicago on February 22, 2011. In 87 appearances with the Raptors, Johnson posted averages of 9.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 26.0 minutes.

Well in the end i did make the biggest baddest beanbag evah, but i think any practical assessment would say that it is too large to be convenient (eg: hard to get through doorways and tends to fill all available floor area in room). But I learned enough through this effort that I can advise you, dear reader, how to build a most useful and practical beanbag sofa should you want to do so.
summary: looking for that plush bean-bag chair comfort, but in a sofa size? bean-bags are easy and inexpensive to make (as furniture goes). the bean-bag sofa can be easily formed into a form-ftting bed as well.

Thanks for using instructables!
How many cubic feet of foam did you use for this? Do you think it would make a good bed or would you roll out of it?
This is great!
I'm going to make pea size ones for my kids, but rather than use velcro and fill them with beans, I'm going to add big zippers and fill them with all the stuffed animals they never play with. Functional seating, AND toy storage? Count me in!
Pretty neat instructable :3
they do make a bit more noise, and don't shift around quite as easily, though.
(sorry, typo'd the first comment)
My roommate and i are looking to build one or 2 of these (if we build 2 we would probably make 2 med sized ones) and were wondering what we are looking at as far as total cost. Also, if anybody knows where we could find the filling for this for cheap in Orlando we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all the help guys! Awesome instructable BTW
I bought a queen-size futon cover with 3-sided zipper (organic, thick upholstery quality), and I think about 300lb. of buckwheat hull from a farm in Penn Yan, NY. It's about 10" thick and I have it atop a custom heavy duty wooden frame. Best sleep I've ever had. But, as you can probably tell, it is EXTREMELY heavy. The two times I've moved it I had to empty most of the buckwheat into contractor trash bags and carry them separately.

A House Appropriations Subcommittee voted today to reinforce that service advisors, the frontline employee-salespersons in the service department, remain exempt from overtime pay requirements. In 2011, the Department of Labor (DOL) attempted to reverse its own 1978 opinion and multiple court decisions and roll back the longstanding exemption. DOL is currently prevented from enforcing any change due to an identical restriction in the FY 2012 Omnibus Appropriations Act which preserves the exempt status of service advisors until Sept. 30, 2012. National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) chairman Bill Underriner, advocating for preserving the exemption status, has been working closely with the Department of Labor and with Congressman Denny Rehberg, R-Mont on this issue. The efforts of Mr. Underriner and Rep. Rehberg are highlighted in today's NADAFrontPage.com. and press release. "Dealers across the country applaud Rep. Rehberg's leadership. His focus on controlling regulatory costs and eliminating red tape helps give dealers the resources to expand their businesses and hire additional staff," said Mr. Underriner in the press release. The FY 2013 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill will now proceed to the full House Appropriations Committee for consideration.

Crimson Moonlight
Eternal Emperor
June 2000
Released: 1998, self released Rating: 2.7/5 Reviewer: Nathan Robinson Ah yes, another Swedish Christian metal band. Well first off, both the name of the band and CD could be better. They're just too typical. But let's focus on the music here. The disc opens with "Preludium", an instrumental consisting of melodic guitars and piano. Not too shabby. Then "Where Darkness Cannot Reach" kicks in and the essence of Crimson Moonlight is revealed: Christian black metal. Wha? I kind of guessed it anyhow, judging from the packaging. But actually, these guys aren't too bad. Pretty typical in terms of sound and style, but their musicianship is good. Keyboards are a large part of their sound, creating dark or mystical atmospheres meshing very well with the rest of the music. "Symphony of Moonlight" is a keyboard instrumental which is pretty impressive. In fact, all of the keyboards on this CD are surprisingly impressive. Without them, Crimson Moonlight would be just another band. Being the obeying Christians they are, their lyrics reflect praise of the Almighty. They are not too in-depth, nor are they interesting, but they are way above the level of Sons of Thunder, that's for sure! Although Crimson Moonlight fares well with this offering, they lack the originality and innovation necessary to warrant their addition to a veteran fan of Swedish death metal. But if you wish to visit their web site, here ya go: http://www.crimsonmoonlight.com Next review: » Crimson Shadows - Kings Among Men Previous review: » Crimson Glory - Transcendence |

How can anyone resist the idea of Michael Fassbender wearing a giant papier-mache head? So, of course I voted for "Guardians of the Galaxy."
X-men will be the biggest, of course, but the one I most want to see is GoG for some reason...
so excited for xmen! However, spiderman 2 was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Close call on those two. I am unfamiliar with guardians of the galaxy except for a recent preview I saw - which looked awesome - so I have high hopes for that one. Sorry folks, captain america ranks like a .5 on the Tracy scale of "get the hell out of my way because I'm seeing this movie's midnight premier" scale.
oh, and I WAS excited for TMNT... I love the turtles...but these ones look weird and creepy (even for mutant turtles trained in ninjutsu). Their faces are creepy and why are they SO huge??

Breakfast Topic: What are you just not that excited about in Mists? {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 3:58PM Well beside the whole Asian theme thing ( don't like Eastern weaponry, music, art, etc) the thing thats useless to me no matter what the expansion theme is, is anything PVP related. To say I am less than thrilled with facing world pvp and pet pvp would be an understatement.
Does the Annual Pass guarantee instant beta access? {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2012 1:41PM If you think I did the annual pass just to be a Blizzard test puppet, think again. I did it because I DO want to see if I want to even buy MOP after the abysimal Cataclysmic fiasco of the last expansion.
Mists of Pandaria Beta: Challenge Mode armor sets revealed {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2012 1:27PM I'm actually pleasantly surprised by these sets. I do NOT like eastern culture art, music, clothing so I was pretty pessimistic about the appearance of this gear. I was afraid we'd look like freakin shoguns, coolies, or be wearing kimono's.
I actually like ( not love) most of the sets, except for priest and shaman, which are plain awful. Pally's good except for the gawd awful helm.
Doesn't matter, I'm transmogging all of it anyways.
Have Group, Will Travel replaced with faster flight paths, flask "Chug-A-Lug" perk removed {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 4:57PM My whole guild and I are pretty upset abut the Have group will travel being gone. And the reason that we are not seeing enough of the world is entirely stupid. So how do you see much of the world with a meeting stone teleport????? Because it only takes 3 to teleport 25 to an instance.
Want me to see more of the world? Then quit putting transmoggers, void storage, prof trainers, AH, and banks in one freakin town!!!!! Blizzard turned Dalaran into a ghost town, not the players!
3 reasons for casual players to be excited about Mists of Pandaria {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 4:50PM Reasons I'm unhappy with MOP:
1.) The Panderian....very unhappy with the pandas and have no intention of making one. Hate the way the female looks, hate the male even worse, if that's possible.
2.) The terrain. No offense to Eastern cultures but...I just don't like the look of eastern architecture, art, or music. The thought of having to slog thru this for an entire expansion gives me the shudders.
3.) I HATE PVP. So you can imagine the idea of world pvp doesn't send me into giddiness. Add pvp pet battles to that...UGH.
I'm a casual as well Angela. So I am REALLY REALLY hoping they did a half way decent job with the quests and zones because I'm very disappointed with the visuals so far. And I'm really disappointed in you Michael Gray that you haven't cme up with better reasons to like MOP than reasons 1 & 2. I'm praying your right about reason 3.
Hi, my name is Anne and I'm addicted to transmogrification {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2012 4:20PM Icy veins is the best...click transmog then choose item sets separate window...you'll see every piece in its own window along where to getit/where it drops...click on the bold name of the item and it automatically take you to wowhead. He has EVERYTHING weapons, wands, and best of all it's listed by head, shoulder etc. So you can open say hunter (mail) and go to shoulders and hunt for those elusive 1 piece shoulders there.
Drama Mamas: The case of the PvE wife and PvP husband {WoW}
Feb 28th 2012 10:25AM Got to go with Robin on this one. And you did NOT offer LFR as a solution Lisa...seriously. Here's a guy whose very shy and not comfortable around strangers and you want to throw him into LFR???? Besides the usual cursing and the screaming of morons, idiots, etc on a wipe, he'll see infighting at its best when someone wins a piece of loot someone else in the raid doesn't think they deserve. And if HE'S the lucky winner of a piece of gear, he'll have at least 2, maybe more people whispering him begging for the gear or wanting to trade.
LFR would turn him off raiding forever. I put up with it to gear my toon...I need 2 more pieces to go and then I'm outta that garbage forever until the next expansion.
Rather, I'd have suggested going as a couple ( she'd have to make an alt) and joining an EXTREMELY casual friendly SMALL guild. Thay are the friendliest, most eager to help and do things with. Also with being small, your not just a name in 400 people...you slowly get to know the members and friendships form. Once that happens he could find PVP buddies or even have found the experience so enjoyable that he could join an all pvp guild.
Ol' Grumpy and the specter of pointless elitism {WoW}
Feb 7th 2012 4:27PM Myself and another guildmember were doing a 5 man. Weren't crazy about the healer in the group as we almost had a wipe on the first boss in End Time because we had NO heals until the very last minute. But hey, maybe he was just asleep at the wheel on 1 fight so we continued. We're whizzing thru things, get to the rogue boss, take her down with no problems ( Yay! Heals!). After the fight, that healer...mostly in 359's with a 316 trink gets on my fellow warrior guildie about the WAY he tanked the fight. Started this critique drama along with name calling. And initiated a kick!!!! And the group, like a herd of brainless lemmings voted yes ( I voted no). I immediately degrouped when he got bounced.
This was not a case of too low gear, too low damage, not knowing a fight. This was one little miscreant who forgot to heal in the first fight weilding a kick vote because he didn't like the WAY the tank kited!!!!
WoW Moviewatch: Bring Back The Con {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2012 1:02PM I am SICK of hearing about the Con!!!! I, for 1, am not in mourning...can we move on????
Blizzard is courting their Asian market with Arena tourny this year...end of story!
Breakfast Topic: What are your WoW pet peeves? {WoW}
Jan 28th 2012 10:50PM Actually rouge vs rogue amuses me. I always wanted to start an all female rogue guild and call it....Rouged Rogues :)

Vita can be used as a PS3 controller
And can use its gyroscope and touch panels to control a PS3 game.
Sony confirmed at a recent Develop event that the Playstation Vita could be used as a PS3 controller, ala Wii U.
According to R&D manager Phil Rogers, the Vita can display 'data' sent through by the PS3, and also use its gyroscope and touch panels to control a PS3 game, as well.
"PS3 can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it. You could use the unique features – gyroscope, touch front and back – as a control device for a PS3 game.
"You can run software on both devices and use the network to sync the game states. And that's pretty good, because you then have the processing power of PS3 doing that work, Vita [doing] fancy graphics – however you want to do it. You're not sacrificing the PS3′s CPU to be able to have a rich experience on Vita."
Rogers said the Remote Play feature will be shipped from day one, allowing developers to retroactively add in support for Vita into their PS3 games. One of the first games to use the cross-platform feature will be Hustle Kings.
Playstation Vita was rumored for a October 28 release earlier today. The new handheld system will retail at AED 1000 for the WiFi model, and at AED 1300 for the 3G + WiFi model, in the UAE.


text: The Muhlenberg County community is doing its best to come together in wake of the tragic fire that claimed the life of a mother and eight of her nine children, and critically injured her husband and surviving daughter. According to a report from WFIE TV, more than 100 people turned out Friday night at Calvary Baptist Church, in Central City, for a candlelight vigil for the Watson family. The report goes on to say that those in attendance sang "Amazing Grace" and silently held candles in remembrance of the family devastated by Thursday's deadly fire. Chad Watson and his 11-year old daughter Kylie continue to be in critical but stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
