Hi All!
Yes, as you see I'm in crepe myrtle country, and when my dear friend visited she fell in love with crepe myrtles. Are there perhaps some hybrids that can handle Kansas wind and cold? Thanks for the advice,
Follow-Up Postings:
There are actually NO crepe myrtles that are completely wood hardy in zone 5, but they are root hardy with a good mulch, and provided adequate heat and sunlight, there should be no problem with some of the hardier varieties dying to the ground and regrowing 6ft (at least) in a season and blooming from July to October. Some of the hardier varieties are crosses of the common "southern" L. indica and L. faurei (sp?). They can usually be idenified with their typical "Indian" names. ex. Hopi, Tonto, Zuni... All of which I grow here in N.E. Ohio with success, although bloom is never as good as further south due to the lack of heat along Lake Erie, which should not be a problem in Kansas. By the way, I think Kansas is more borderline zones 5/6. Also supposedly a cultivar named "Velma's Royal Delight" which originated in Kansas is very hardy. I have seen it sold in the Cincinnati/Dayton area and is a "purplish" color. |

Away weekend - Fairplay Benalup 13-16 September 2012
- Details
By Peter White, the organiser of the event:
22 hardy souls set off at the crack of dawn on the 13th September for a 3 day break to the Fairplay Golf & Spa Hotel in Benalup which is in the Cadiz region. We arrived to have lunch in a local restaurant as our all inclusive package did not include lunch on the first day, we all drank and ate heartily on typical Spanish cuisine. At about 3.30 when our package started we made the 5 minute drive to the hotel. That evening we ate in the French restaurant "la table" and then continued satisfying our thirst in the Putting Bar which overlooks the golf course.
The next morning, to my amazement, everybody made breakfast. Then the 19 golfers headed for the first tee, playing the waltz format, in stifling heat and following the consumption of many litres of water, the victors being Jacqui, Kristina, Mel & John Fielding took their bow. The 3 non playing golfers chose to top up their tans beside the pool.
That evening we ate in "The Asia" restaurant with all the girls on one table and the men on the other, you can probably guess the noisiest bunch!!!. From there, surprisingly, we headed once again to the bar where we had a quiz of 26 questions to suit all nationalities, the winning team of Michelle, Rita and Maureen proved to be the most knowledgable.
The next morning at breakfast saw a scramble for the bananas to see if they could disprove one of the answers from the previous nights quiz (did you know that all bananas have 5 sides). Then onto the first tee to play stableford singles incorporating "Battle of the Sexes" , John Fielding took the Men's prize with 37 points and Roisin the Ladies with 38, the ladies were victorious with an average of 29.5 points against the mens 29. A special mention should go to Michelle who was playing her first competitive round of golf she scored 34 points which was many more than John.
That evening following our meal in "la table" restaurant, and you are probably ahead of me already, we headed for the bar, this time for a game of Mr & Mrs, the only thing I can remember is each ladies bra size!!!! The winners were John & Michelle who took first prize. The couple who appeared to know the least about one another were Lennart & Kristina, they now have the Mr & Mrs trophy, a condom testing device, which was donated by Lawrence, now sitting proudly somewhere in their apartment, Lennart put it down to the language barrier, at least Kristina may find her prize of a rolling pin handy to knock some sense into Lennart.
Somewhat hungover the next morning we began our golf from the 10th tee at 9.00 the format being the 2 best scores, when the first group arrived at the first to continue their round, they were told that, due to a computer malfunction, they would have to wait 90 minutes to complete the other 9, at that point we chose to truncate and head for the bar, the winners were Chris, Roisin, Rita & Issy.
At lunch Peter White presented the prizes for the 3 days of golf along with the result of the betting for Saturday's individual score. Well, it was a triumph for the Andrew family who ended up taking most of the money along with Roisin walking away with the prize for "Golfer of the Weekend". The group gave Peter a golf top for his efforts in organising the weekend which was gratefully received. The general consensus was we all had a thoroughly enjoyable time.
We then all headed for home and arrived safely back in Almerimar, EXHAUSTED.
Thanks to Lawrence Perkins who has produced a video of the weekend away that you can see here on youtube.

In concert: Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, Maxwell and more, "Christmas in Washington" at the National Building Museum
The 29th annual "Christmas in Washington" concert that taped Sunday night at the National Building Museum was a celebration of inoffensiveness. There were cute children dressed as elves in the red-and-green-festooned auditorium. There was Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, the best-selling classical artist of all time, singing "White Christmas," the best-selling song of all time. There was host Ellen DeGeneres making jokes about the National Mall - wait for it - not being an actual shopping mall. When the concert airs Friday night on TNT, it will be the definition of TV-G.
Which is the whole point, of course. Hosted by President Obama and the first lady, with their two daughters, as well as the first grandmother, in attendance, the hour-long concert is all about the gentle warmth and fuzzies of the Christmas season. The cast of performers was carefully curated, with a little something for everyone whose tastes run middle of the road. In addition to DeGeneres and Bocelli, pop divas Mariah Carey and Annie Lennox, Grammy-winning R&B star Maxwell, "Glee's" Matthew Morrison and tween fave Miranda Cosgrove of "iCarly" sang Christmas songs for the crowd of well-connected Washingtonians and their fidgety children.
Save for the president, Carey was the biggest star in the room, in more ways than one. The pregnant superstar opened the show, walking out in a glittering maroon dress with a bow dangling over her visible baby bump. Her microphone was similarly sparkly as she delivered a subdued version of "One Child," featured on her recent album of Yuletide tunes, "Merry Christmas II You." She didn't belt as loudly as she's been known to and stood almost perfectly still at center stage for the entirety of the performance, setting the subdued tone for the evening. Perhaps it was for the best: When she emerged nearly an hour later to sing "O Come, All Ye Faithful" during an all-cast finale, she seemed legitimately winded after a single verse.
There are few performers who exude sex more than Maxwell, but the R&B lothario turned down the heat for his rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." He sang mostly in a falsetto and couldn't help but be a little seductive in his black suit, bow tie and black glasses, but restraint was reined in. He did let his emotions show when President Obama was introduced near the end of the show and added a double fist pump to his applause.
Lennox was all elegance and class for the performance of her original "Universal Child," from her new collection, "A Christmas Cornucopia." It was a brave selection - albeit one that she surely hopes will stuff a few more stockings - on a show filled almost exclusively with much-loved standards, but the former new-wave icon made it sound majestic with great help from the local choirs that lent their voices throughout the evening. She was equally captivating singing "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," which kicked off the show-closing medley featuring the entire cast.
The producers didn't do many favors for Cosgrove, the 17-year-old star of Nickelodeon's "iCarly," by making her follow Lennox and a spirited version of "Joy to the World" by the Washington Youth Choir. On her debut album, "Sparks Fly," she was aided by the likes of Kesha, Avril Lavigne and pop svengali Dr. Luke, but on Sunday she was on her own: She sang one of the evening's sprightliest numbers, "Last Christmas" by George Michael's first band, the '80s duo Wham!, but still gave the least charismatic performance.
Earlier, Morrison, one of the eternally peppy cast members from "Glee," sat on a stool and occasionally strummed a ukulele as he crooned Bing Crosby's ode to Hawaiian Christmas, "Mele Kalikimaka." But most important, he smiled, and all of the middle-aged women in the audience smiled back. If there weren't strict warnings to turn cellphones off right before the show, no doubt there would have been a barrage of clicks for his few minutes onstage.
DeGeneres didn't dare get political with any of her handful of jokes. Santa's naughty and nice list appearing on WikiLeaks was the closest she got there. Unless you count making fun of Joe Biden, which seems entirely nonpartisan. President Obama's closing remarks were also by the book. He made sure to thank the participants and the local choirs and to mention the Children's National Medical Center, the charity that was the beneficiary of the concert. He hit the charity, compassion, goodwill, God and troops bingo and then joined his family and the rest of the cast in closing with "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing."
Then the first family left, the cameras turned off and the assembled congregated to the next room for the only thing more agreeable than the concert they just witnessed: free food.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is destined to be a massive failure, claims an alleged, anonymous employee of Bioware Mythic.
Blogging as 'EA Louse' and criticising the "culture of fear" at Mythic, the poster claims that The Old Republic's budget has topped $300 million.
Despite the massive spend, the supposed insider suggests that, aside from the sound work, "the rest of the game is a joke", leaving EA and George Lucas in a state of panic.
EA Louse wrote: "And Bioware? Don't make me laugh. They've spent more money making the Old Republic than James Cameron spent on Avatar. Shit you not. More than $300 million! Can you believe that?
"And you know what they're most proud of? This is the kicker. They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20Gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. That's the best they have.
"The rest of the game is a joke. EA knows it and so does George Lucas, they're panicking, and so most of Mythic has already been cannibalized to work in Austin on it because they can't keep pushing back launch.
"Old Republic will be one of the greatest failures in the history of MMOs from EA. Probably at the level of the Sims Online. We all know it too."
Ouch. EA's already called the Star Wars MMO its "most expensive game ever", but the $300m number - if true - would astound us.

Hotels in Edinburgh New Town
Beyond Princes Street stretches Edinburgh's New Town, a splendid stretch of streets build in the Georgian period to a specific town plan. Large windows set around collonaded entrances and cobbled streets, this is a distinctly different experience to the Old Town with its narrow closes.
The New Town is over 200 years old and was the vision of George Drummond.

Sandra Makielski's trip to Korea this summer will help her teach about Korea this fall.
The Davisville Middle School social studies teacher and 38 other U.S. teachers traveled from June 25 to July 7 at the expense of the Korea Society in New York City and the South Korean government.
"The whole premise behind this trip is to help us become better teachers in relation to Korea," the South Kingstown resident said.
Most teachers, when they cover Korea, focus on the Korean War, she said.
"It wasn't ignored on our trip, but that was not the big focus," Makielski said. "Korea has this 5,000-year-old history, and their job was to educate us on this history and educate us on as many aspects of their culture as they can."
The group spent a week in Seoul and visited temples and cultural sites such as an early printing museum in Cheongju. They ended their trip with a visit to the demilitarized zone, also called the Joint Security Area, on the border with North Korea.
For the border experience, "they wouldn't let us on the bus without passing clothing inspection." Visitors had to wear long skirts or pants, collared shirts and sleeves that covered the shoulders. Their shoes had to have closed toes and they couldn't wear a shirt or hat with a logo.
"They did not want to encourage the North Koreans to take pictures … of scantily clad Americans. They were very strict about it."
"You could see the North Korean soldiers," she said. "They were very close," and they had guns.
She learned that South Korea considers itself Korea, and the people "don't appear to be bothered" by the war rhetoric that comes from North Korea's leader.
South Koreans think of the people of North Korea as "our unfortunate brothers," with whom they will someday be reunited, Makielski said she learned.
Although free time was scarce, she spent it sightseeing and shopping for artifacts for her classes, such as posters, maps, prints, masks and celadon pottery tea cups.
Makielski also liked going out to eat at restaurants with no English on the menu. They would ask the restaurant workers to order for them.
She was corrected, politely, about how to eat rice. "You eat rice with a spoon," she said. The chopsticks are metal and are used to serve yourself from common bowls into your own bowl. And, she said, "you are not supposed to pick up the bowl" as you eat.
Also, you "never pour yourself any liquid. You always serve somebody else, and have somebody serve you."
Her favorite dish was ssambap, the Korean lettuce wrap, which she said was "like making a fresh lettuce taco" from the 4 to 12 items on the table, such as little pieces of shrimp, pork, cabbage and pickled vegetables.
The biggest culture shock on her return, she said, was to her digestive system. In Korea, "you eat practically no dairy, very little gluten and very little sugar. When I came back, I went back to eating my regular diet."
"I'm a sugar fiend," she confessed.
She is assembling a scrapbook for her students to look through, and, as a way to engage her next classes with hands-on experience, she plans to teach Korean papermaking.
In Korea, she taught a social studies class to high school students, using only English. She used a lesson she teaches to her own seventh graders, and brought their work to show the older Korean students.
"I didn't know quite what to expect," she said, but the students reminded her, in their mannerisms and senses of humor, of students from North Kingstown.
"It was much easier and much more fun than I ever expected," she said. "As soon as you start teaching, it all just feels right."

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them": | 1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-- |
2 While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain; | 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; |
3 In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim; | 3 when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; |
4 When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low; When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low; | 4 when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint; |
5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets. | 5 when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets. |
6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. | 6 Remember him--before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, |
7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. | 7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. |
8 "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity." | 8 "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!" |
9 And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. | 9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. |
10 The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright--words of truth. | 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. |
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. | 11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails--given by one Shepherd. |
12 And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. | 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. |
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. | 13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man. |
14 For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil. | 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. |

Individuals who are self-employed, or sole proprietors, must file an income tax form if the income is $400 or more per year. The taxpayer is responsible for paying Social Security and Medicare taxes also.

However, there are many places to file a self-employed tax return for free, and here are just a few:
- IRS E-file. The single most popular place to file a self-employed tax return for free is with the IRS E-file system.

The IRS also offers online assistance and answers to many questions. Appointments and phone help can be found based on your locality. When ordering the forms and schedules, complete instructions can be mailed to your home also.
- VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program). VITA is another free site available to self-employed taxpayers. This site is also run by the IRS and is for individuals who fall into the low-income tax brackets. You can call (800) 829-1040 to find a location near you.

A simple message, simply told - http://swag.ie
Any reviews of this web design page would be welcomed. I know the contact form has issues, and am working on that.
It would be good to have a portfolio where we can see your work.
I've not found anything special. Some images & a Logo will add some extra flavor to your website. A user friendly navigation is also required.
Hi,I tested your site on a HTC One and in Chrome on my desktop.
Things I liked:1: The Page title, I knew immediately what you did.2: The one column layout is appealing3: The prominent contact details make it easy for me to contact you4: The newspaper background is interesting.5: The humour of you site is good too.
Things you could improve:
1: The site would benefit from screenshots of your work2: The colour scheme is very loud. Check out colourlovers.com for inspiration. I'd opt for something more subtle3: The contact us page would benefit from a photo of you or your logo.4: Testimonials would encourage me to hire you. Do you have these? If not, consider doing some free work for family and then asking them to write one for you.5: Your packages need pictures and bullet points and should be broken up more. On the web, people scan content rather than read it in its entirety.
Overall, it's a good website but there are number of changes you'll need to make to attract clients including SEO. I'd have a look at http://www.awwwards.com/ for inspiration.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely, i kinda dislike it. Has round and square corners, a not so nice colorscheme, no portfolio and looks cheap - no offence intended.
Its very simple not that much impressive. Try to place meaningful images. Because a message can convey the content more than the passage writing.
Actually I am not a fan of your website's design, but I knew this type of website works for some targeted people - I used to see some websites like that sell SEO service or video tutorials ( If you heard of WarriorForum you know what I mean).So if you make the design intended, that's OK. Otherwise I'd suggest you redesign your whole page.
Providing some of your previously works to visitor would give your service much more credits.
Love the background, and your site is a quick stop for people to shop. Good idea!
First of all I'd like to say that it took courage to share your site with us. While I'm still learning design, I would like to give my input. I thought the image was decent. Your rounded content box matches the background of your image. However, the rounded boxes seems a little out of place.It's a bit inconsistent design wise, because the image and first content box are rounded and the other content sections are square. It's an incomplete design in my opinion. I can read the slogan, but there is a hint of strain. Perhaps using a black outline around the font would help with legibility. The content font is readable and easy on the eyes and I love the added touch of professionalism-- the signature . I like the bold font suggestions. I like where you were going here, I really do. If I might add one more suggestion. While I was reading, I found my eyes straying off the page to look at the background. I had to keep reminding myself to focus on the content. I'm thinking it might be helpful to get rid of the repeating background and maybe add your newspaper image in a div or section and use a white background to keep the reader from straying off the page. Other than that, great website. You've done more than I can do. Good luck!
Very nice and attractive website.....even navigation is also easy........any layman can access the site....
I don`t like website design, it's not a user friendly website and check your w3c validator error.
The static background is like 800x600 pixels, seems not right when your computer is using higher res than that. How about following through your comic theme and put like old comics instead of newspaper?
Hi,Nice website design.Add some more and beautiful images, it will look more better and good.Thanks and keep sharing..
Not what I expected. Different, that's for sure. Not sure who you are targeting but as a business owner I wouldnt go with a designer that based his own services off of cartoon / comic characters. The design is solid other than the lack of past/previous work. I would get up some work and customer testimonials. Would also stick up a picture of some faces to make it more personalized.
I'm sorry I didn't like it. Looks too simple and plain with clashing elements. And the newspaper background is terrible, very distracting. And a cartoon logo doesn't seem appropriate. You are offering a professional service, 'quality web design' as you call it.
The site is nice, not sure about the fixed background img. I would probably put more key elements of your work right at the top instead of having to scroll down. I would change this in your contact us part: "Email - Click Here Now" just use a link on the e-mail, that's it! One last thing, increase the contact form textarea width.Other than that, great work!
I have check out your site, now you need few change in site, please make user friendly site, you have not forum on site which is most important please create 1st than, change background of site, design one more page regarding your portfolio or regarding what you do, also design footers.Hope these necessary changes are required.
Why on earth would a forum be important on a web design business site? I certainly wouldn't expect to find one there. Please could you explain your thinking?
Yaah sure, you need to create a contact us forum
You can also change the name of contact forum like we change its name as get quote so catch this contact forum & setup as same like given link.
contact forum
Do you mean contact form?
There is a contact form at the bottom of the page.

Who's Who in the Arts
Osvaldo Golijov, Ph.D., Loyola Professor of Music, is one of the leading composers of our time. His works — which include a world-renowned retelling of the St. Mark Passion, the acclaimed opera Ainadamar, song cycles, and film scores — blend influences from many musical traditions to reflect the multicultural modern world. Awarded a MacArthur Fellowship and named Musical America's 2006 Composer of the Year, Golijov has worked on a film score for Francis Ford Coppola and is a composer-in-residence at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He also takes his teaching seriously. "I want to explain that somehow music manages to articulate inexpressible emotions," he says. "I have fun teaching, and I love doing it in a place where I can learn. Every day I am affected by something a student says."

As you have read we are starting a nursery and very slowly this year just taking on a few things and working on building up stock and planning, planning and more planning for the following year.
Ok I am using impatiens as an example so bear with me here. Ok, I am looking at the catalog from Germania. It lists an impatien as Accent Blush Pink and is from seed so this would be safe to propagate. Plus all the ones that say Veg on them are patented. I love to propagate stuff but would never ever want to do something wrong so I want to make sure that all these years I have not been confused about this. Also in your opinion which would be the best grower? Of course I checked this site http://www.patentgenius.com/class/PLT/317/2.html and it is overwhelming... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Im not sure what your question is, other than "what would be the best grower". In your example, you can purchase the seed of Accent Blush Pink, germinate it, grow it sell it. You COULD collect seed from the plants that you grow, but since these are hybrids, they wouldn't be Accent Blush Pink. The "veg" ones that you are talking about are propagated by cuttings. You can purchase the unrooted cuttings, and root them yourself, or you can buy them from a plug and liner supplier already rooted. You CANNOT take cutting from those plants, and make more plants to sell. It sounds as if you are interested in growing some basic bedding plants, so seed propagated impatiens are probably the direction you would want to go in, as the input costs are less. |
Thank you so much... this is what I thought but I just did not know how to articulate it as you did. Thanks! |

Julie Showalter
Julie Showalter was my much-beloved, fiercely smart, extraordinarily sexy wife, who died in 1999 from cancer diagnosed the week of our wedding nearly 20 years earlier. She was also a prize-winning writer.
This blog includes many other posts about her and the unlikely but true story of our romance (See Julie FAQ) as well as several of her short stories and other pieces. Most of Julie's fully edited and buffed literary efforts are already available under the heading, Julie's Writings, in "Categories."
Unpublished Julie is a group of pieces I've found on her computer or in her office that range from workshop exercises to story fragments to projects set aside to finish at a later day to work that appears, at least to me, to be fully as polished and effective as her published stories.
Needlework, The Novel
Julie completed a novel, Needlework, by 1997 but was revising portions of it for some time afterward. I have searched her files and have compiled the latest versions I have discovered.
I plan to publish that compilation of her novel on the Heck of a Guy Blog, a chapter at a time in serial fashion. Links to all currently published portions of Needlework can always be found at this link: Information About Needlework With Links To Published Portions. PDF versions of the posted sections of Needlework can also be found at that page.
Chapter 3 of Needlework Now Available
Chapter 3 of Needlework can be found at ~Needlework by Julie Showalter: Chapter 3~

"Despite that most natural material prices have gone through the roof in the last several years, vanilla has remained quite stable," says Scott May, VP of sweet goods at Givaudan. This stability has resulted from a recent oversupply of natural product, and a recent lack of natural disasters in growing regions. As a result, says May, vanilla supply has equaled or exceeded market demand. "There's a lot of inventory out there that people are carrying; I don't think prices are going to [escalate significantly] unless there's some sort of natural disaster." Of course May and his colleagues are knocking on wood.

text: Skykomish Meet Your Ruling Elites 98288 – More than Just a Zip Code Skykomish Officials and Police Enforcers are Working to Silence Citizens who Dare Speak Against its ever increasing Tide of Mob Rule My name is Cate Riley. I'm a direct relation of America's first President, George Washington. I'm Proud to Stand up during this Difficult and Challenging time. Fascist Rule is an assault upon America, the 'Rule of Law' and Mankind. Unfortunately, this phenomenon isn't unique to our small Cascade mountain town. Ruling Political Elites have aligned with Banksters, Fraudsters, Powerful Corporate Oligarchs and our militarized Law Enforcement to enslave once proud, prosperous and free peoples as part of the New World Order (NWO). Heroes and patriots like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, Aaron Swartz and Jeremy Hammond are being hunted down, tortured, imprisoned and suicided while real traitors like George Bush, George W. Bush, Barrack Obama, Warren Buffett and George Soros laugh and party on as they rob us blind. This Enslavement isn't occurring in secret, in the dark of night or out of the clear blue. Freedom, Liberty and Prosperity are being pilfered bit by bit in broad daylight, right in front of our noses. The above photos were not taken in Nazi Germany. These are Americans giving the Nazi salute, wearing Nazi uniforms, striking up Nazi bands in front of George Washington's image and parading at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1939 just prior to the outbreak of World War 2. Fascism is no stranger to America, only today it's called the 'Public/Private Partnership'. Maintaining Freedom, Liberty and Prosperity has never been easy. America has struggled right from the start, July 4th 1776, when our courageous founders Declared Independence. It will take more than lapel pins, bumper stickers or flying the flag to restore America. Those who want to enslave us are never further than next door or around the corner. Skykomish Mayor, Town Council and Law Enforcement appear Fully Committed to Fascist Rule, Repression and Enslavement. Sky's Ruling Elites have bound themselves to one of the world's most powerful Corporate Oligarchs, Warren Buffett. This is no accident. Don't take my word for it. Watch the Skykomish Municipal Suicide series on YouTube. View our Resources page to get a national and international perspective. It's Time to Stand up for Yourself, America and Mankind! |

I've had this fridge installed for a couple weeks now and it's driving me crazy. I can deal with the occasional vibrating that goes away with a good shake. I can deal with the various pops and odd mechanical noises as it does whatever it is it does, presumably related to the two ice makers. But there's an underlying droning noise that's driving me absolutely nuts. It's not a loud noise, it's a deep, oscillating sound. The best way that I can describe it is imagine you're at the beach and you hear the diesels of a large boat way out in the distance. This sound reverberates around the first floor of the house. In fact it took me a while to figure out it was the fridge. Any owners experience this, or non-owners have suggestions? I imagine if I call for service they'll tell me it's normal operating noise, especially since it's not loud. But it's maddening, and I don't even have good hearing. It's making me hate this otherwise acceptable fridge. I'd take the louder but steady sound of my old GE in a heartbeat over this. TIA for any thoughts. |

Quoted from Goldie Ruthygirl did you mean this .. I would reccomend having beef at least once a month ??? That would kill me as I would strave to death..
Quoted from ruthiegirl It's not just having the funds available to buy a whole animal at once; you also need the storage space in your home. I bought a deep freezer when my oldest was a baby, and it broke a few years ago. I haven't had the money to replace it. Some people wouldn't have space for a deep freezer, even if they could afford to buy one.
Quoted from Mrs T O+ This year we were blessed with a several packs of venison. Mr T says for me to go ahead & enjoy it. I doubt it is compliant for AB, so I'm glad he isn't too interested!

In 2005, there were 202 schools in Armenia, in urban areas outside of the capital of Yerevan, that lacked heating—leaving more than 87,000 students in the cold.
The US$15 million Armenia Urban Heating Credit Program (UHP)—80% of which is co–financed by the World Bank—began implementation in February of 2006 to bring heat to urban areas, and will continue until 2010. The Renewable Energy and Energy Fund, which is the implementing agency for the Urban Heating Project, will rehabilitate the heating systems of 100 schools in 47 towns outside of Yerevan, under the School Heating component of the Project.
So far, US$5 million of the credit funds and co–financing of US$1.2 million from the State budget has been allocated, and as of January 2008, the heating systems in 97 schools are already fully operational.
According to Karine Harutyunyan, Principal of School No. 3 in Yeghegnadzor (Vayots Dzor region), "This is the first time after the Soviet era that the school gets this much heating. This year we have even increased the time for lunch break—it is now 20 minutes—since the cafeteria has now become operational. And the winter break is back to the shorter schedule of the past, December 25th to January 20th."
Tamara Babayan, Director of the Renewable Energy and Energy Fund, explained that "The program strives to rehabilitate the non–functional heating systems of every school in Armenia, to 'neutralize' the problem in every town."
The implementation of the program started in the Northern (colder) regions of Armenia – Shirak, Aragatsotn, Gegharkounik—and will finish off in the warmer towns of Ararat valley. In the towns of Yeghegnadzor and Vayq of Vayots Dzor Region, the heating problem in every school has been solved.
Gas As a More Cost–Effective Solution
Preliminary results show that schools gain significantly – with savings of 30—50% in heating expenses—from the use of gas–based heating, even when the schools consume significant amounts of it.
The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund is currently working to increase the awareness among school principals that by using larger amounts of gas, it will enable them to pay the same as using less since the gas price for large consumers (over 10,000 cubic meters per month) in Armenia is two times lower than for small consumers (less than 10,000 cubic meters).
"Last year we were spending some AMD 900,000 on electricity," said Arusyak Muradyan, Principal of School No. 4 in Ecmiadzin. "For several years we were working only 5 months a year, and the remaining 4—5 months we were paralyzed. We could hardly hold class before running home, resulting in 30 minute classes. Now the children feel like students – this generation is rescued from the cold."
School No. 4 is a changed school – with even a TV in the corridor, and the schoolchildren efficiently using their breaks to get a glimpse of various educational programs. The heating is no longer an issue.
"Our main objective is to improve the quality of education," said Tamara Babayan, Director of the Fund for Renewable Energy and Energy Savings, "and we achieve that through an increased number of class hours and lengthy durations of each class. The forced vacations are being cut off, extra classroom activities are organized, and several groups are established at the school, which significantly improves the educational process. We strive to use cost efficient equipment and devices – the boilers are produced in recent years, and have a high coefficient of useful operations."
Heating Contributes to a Child's Education
Since November 2007 it has been warm in School No. 2 of Yeghegnadzor. The temperature in the sun lit classrooms is +20C, and in the gym + 18 C.
Noting the drop in the numbers of missed classes, which is usually witnessed in high school, Principal Anahit Sargsyan said that, "The school is compact–sized and we fit into the allocated funds. The major costs are incurred in the months of January and February. If we compare with electricity costs, we have significant savings, though we use much more gas. The children do not think about the cold anymore."
"It's a pity I am graduating already," said Artur Grigoryan, a high school student in Ecmiadzin (Armavir region). "We were waiting for this heat for almost a decade. I am sure younger students will enjoy it as much. It makes it easier to study mathematics, for example, in a warm classroom."
Selection of Schools
The eligibility of urban schools to receive financing is determined based on the availability of gas supplies in the area, the technical state of the school building, and adequacy of engineering design. The selection of schools is based on the cost–effectiveness of investments per student—schools need to fall below a cost effectiveness threshold of US$120 per student to be selected. Due to a significant appreciation of the Armenian dram against the US dollar the Fund decided (and the World Bank agreed) to compute the cost–effectiveness threshold based on a fixed exchange rate used in the PAD.
Currently, due to the cost–effectiveness eligbility, the Government will direct the remaining funding to socially oriented investments, including the rehabilitation of the heating systems of up to ten specialized schools (orphanages, schools for disabled children) located in urban areas outside of Yerevan. The implementing agency is planning to complete the task by the end of 2008.
Important lessons have been learned during the implementation of the school heating component under the UHP, which have been shared with government officials and school principals so as to increase the implementation efficiency and effectiveness of any future investments.
The future looks brighter—and warmer—than ever.

They May be Short, but Not Short-sighted
A look at new dwarf units in Bearded Brave |
Battlelore | Published 16 September 2010 |
This fall, the Bearded Brave expansion will rally the dwarven banners and bring your BattleLore armies some stalwart support. The bold Iron Dwarves are known for their powerful arbalests, which are deadly when combined with their farseeing optical devices. Today you will be briefed on how these contraptions work in the heat of battle.
Bearded Brave features several Iron Dwarf units to add to your BattleLore games. Many of these dwarves are fresh to the battlefield, ready to breathe new life into the war, while some are familiar unit types come to strengthen the dwarven numbers. Today we will focus on two of these new unit types: the Iron Dwarf Spotters and the Mighty Bolt Thrower.
BattleLore veterans will surely recognize the Iron Dwarf arbalests (known as crossbows in the core set). These powerful ranged weapons benefit from bonus hits on a shield result when fired from a distance, and with a range of three hexes these weapons can easily pick off entire units from across the battlefield.
While these weapons are formidable as they are, Bearded Brave introduces a new unit type that makes them even more dangerous.
Iron Dwarf Spotters come equipped with the Spy Glass, which gives the Spotter an edge when directing his unit's ballistic attacks. Spotters are unique in that they are not entire units themselves. Instead, a single Spotter figure can be embedded in a single ranged foot unit. When a Spotter is present in a unit, that unit's ranged weapon attacks receive an additional hex of range and roll an additional combat die. These individuals can turn a unit of Arbalestiers from dangerous to devastating!
Spotters can also wreck havoc on advancing foes when they assist in manning the Mighty Bolt Throwers...
Mighty Bolt Thrower units are made up of two Mighty Bolt Thrower figures and two Iron Dwarf crossbowmen acting as a crew. These monstrosities can fire up to 5 hexes away and also benefit from bonus strikes when making ranged attacks. When supported by a Spotter these machines of war are powerhouses from anywhere on the board. But, be careful! They are vulnerable up close, and each hit they take will eliminate a Bolt Thrower AND a crewman. Keep the enemy at bay!
Stay tuned for another look at Bearded Brave!
Set in a world that bridges history and fantasy, BattleLore is board game that puts 2 players in command of a vast array of miniature troops on the battlefields of medieval Europe. Using the easy-to-learn Commands and Colors system, players can wage thrilling battles quickly!
what about the goblins!?! but it is impresssive
Great Stuff, as usual. There is no doubt in the quality of the products of FFG imho, but i would be very glad to hear something about realy new stuff, such as a new race for the battlefield. :o)
I´m german. Anyone who finds errors may take them for free. :D
Bearded Brave looks like a fantastic addition to the Battlelore game. Can't wait to get those Spotters and Bolt Throwers out on the board. Great stuff FFG.
Well I do like the introduction of war machines! Thats got to be a good sign of other similar things to come. However upgrading range and effect (spotter and his die) that seems excessive. But I can live with it . Might we be seeing a Goblin stone thrower or English trebuchet maybe?
Dimzer's got a warped view of the goblin vs dwarf struggle, as we've played 11 straight games using a modified version of 49a - All Along the Watchtower, with the dwarfs taking all 11...
Ranged combat needed an upgrade although I'm surprised the dwarves are delivering it.
Looks like great targets for my goblins! I can't wait for my brother in law to pick this up.
Collect some lore, send in your earth or rock elemental and the job's done. Other four hexes moving creatures might also take care of the job...
Five bad enough, take out a crosbowman add a spotter, now 6 range +1d.
As if dwarves needed any more help!
Five-hex range on the bolt thrower? Looks like the BL arms race just took a leap forward in favor of the short but stout ones...

My car sounds "forced" after I replace the timing belt, balance shaft belt, two adjusters (pulleys) Water Pump AND Alternator and Air Conditioner Drive Belt.
When I press the gas pedal it makes a sound like "hmmmm" and sounds like its being forced a little. I think the car drives very similar to before I made these changes, except now it make a sound "hmmm" which was not there before. Do you guys have any recommendations or advice what it could be? THANKS |
Follow-Up Postings:
Belt tension is the first thing to consider, too tight, or too loose can both make noise. Both can potentially cause a premature failre of the belt, and or pulleys as well. I recommend you start rechecking right there. |
Thanks for the response. Are you talking about the "Timing Belt" - which is the belt that you cannot see. Or are you talking about the Air Conditioner and Alternator Belts, which are the ones you can see. If you are talking about the Timing Belt, do we have to take out all the parts again, to readjust the tension? THANKS |
The timing belt uses an automatic tensioner( a spring loaded one for the Honda, replaced at 150K miles).. It is possible to install a timing belt 180 degrees off, this causes poor running of the engine.. I think we should know more about this automobile.. |
We checked the timing belt, and yes it was 180 degrees off. Thanks, the car is running better now. |

Overalls, Urban Philosophy, c/o, Sunnies, Alexander McQueen, Sneakers, Converse, Scarf, Missoni, Tank, American Apparel {custom cut}
Do you ever think that as adults we're the exactly the same as we were when we were kids?
Well…I know I am. When I was four I had an obsession with Aviators {with Micky Mouse on them}. And when I was 10 I renounced jeans. For about two years straight I exclusively wore overalls {how chic}. While I re-introduced denim separates into my life a short while later, I never lost my love for the heaven that is a onesie.
The comfort is undeniable and there is something so chic about a woman who's not afraid to work this once childlike look.
My husband is away for Marine Duty {brief thank God} and while hubby's away the boys will play. By boys I mean me, my best friends, and my Bulldog Bruiser.
Wandering the city in the warm weather is one of the best parts of living in New York. On this specifically gorgeous evening I went West with my oldest and chicest friends, Nick and Matt, and my best pal Bruiser.
I really love these photos that Matt Caprotti {insanely amazing designer} took of us strolling the quiet and still underdeveloped area of the West 50′s. The in and out of focus aesthetic mixed with this carefree outfit make me feel like I'm a kid all over again. Having all the fun in the world without a care in my mind, walking side by side with my childhood bestie, Nick.
All that being said, my fashion advice is this; go and buy some overalls! This pair by Urban Philosophy are perfectly adorable and fabulously priced. The delicate straps and exposed lace pockets add a touch of femininity to the tom-boy look {SUPER on trend}.
Keep the look simple and fun. A basic tank or tee and a pair of sneaks or even strappy heels will keep you looking effortless.

Man tries to sneak contraband taped to his groin into jail
A Henderson man's preparations for a weekend locked-up got him into even more trouble. 30-year-old Robert Allen Bluem was checking into the Henderson County Detention Center to serve a weekend sentence, and jailers received information that Bluem might be in possession of contraband. Bluem claimed he had no contraband with him, then retracted that statement when jailors prepared to conduct an unclothed search of him. Bluem had a bundle taped to his groin area with loose tobacco, marijuana, smokeless tobacco, and prescription pills. Bluem is now charged with first-degree promoting contraband.
