10 Questions
Ten Questions You Should Ask Your DJ
| Print |
Do you have a contract?
Any professional service has an official contract. If the contract is hand-written, or the DJ doesn't have a contract, then most likely your dealing with an amateur that could ruin your event. Make sure also, that the contract guarantees that the DJ will do their part. many contracts only protect the company and not the consumer. Our contracts hold our obligation to be there and do a great job at your event.
Will I meet my DJ face to face before the event?
Many DJ companies, especially big franchise, or nation-wide DJ companies do not have a "meet your DJ" policy. They will simply "assign a DJ based on your music taste". What about personality? What about professionalism? Our policy is that when you finalize your event, you finalize your event with YOUR DJ. So you have the peace of mind that you know exactly who will be showing up to your event. Also, that DJ has had a chance to sit down with you personally, and gather all your thoughts, wants, and expectations. This makes for a perfect combination so you can have a great time!
Are you a franchise?
If a DJ company is a franchised company, generally, they do not care as much as a local business owner. Many times you see "Most Requested DJ service in America!" , or "In business for 30 years". The fact is, the franchise could have been around for 30 years, but the DJs that work for the local chapter of the franchise, may only have 2-3 months of experience. A local business has more at stake than a BOX company giant franchise. Also, local companies tend to give better service. While there are a few nation wide companies offering quality, many will just leave you disappointed. Plus it's always good to support your local economy, and a local business!
Do you have back-up equipment?
Many DJs make the blanket statement saying they have back up. Also, many brides are disappointed to find out the DJ was just telling them that when something happens on their wedding day. Every Anything Music DJ always comes with 2 computers, 2 hard drives, and a back up hard drive with all of our music, and all of your special requests. We also have back up mixers, speakers, and cables on site. Some computer based DJs use their CD library as a back up. We do not use CDs for a reason. CDs skip, get scratched, and are hard to sort through, so why would we use that as a back up? Having each DJ have 2 computers insures we never have equipment failure. Our contracts guarantees that for your protection too!
Are you Insured...can you prove it?
Any company can say that they have insurance. unfortunately, it is not illegal to lie. We are members of the ADJA, BBB, and other organizations that require our insurance. In fact, we even have our proof on out website. It is not rude to ask someone to see their proof of insurance. Any professional should have it on hand in their office, or be able to email you a copy.
Click here to see our Proof of Insurance
What type of music do you play, can I choose songs?
Different DJs specialize in different types of music. Ask the DJ their personal style to see if if matches what you are looking for. The great thing about our company, is that we have several DJs specializing in several many different styles, so we can cater to you no matter what your needs are. Also, we allow you to completely customize your playlist for your event. Even if there are songs we don't have in our 80,000 song library, we'll get them for you. That is also guaranteed in our contract.
What other services does your company offer?
Companies always have a specialty. At Anything Music, we specialize in DJs, coordinating, and lighting. We also specialize in weddings almost exclusively. Many DJ companies also offer video, photography, and sometimes many other services. While it is nice to be able to have the "1 stop shop" and get everything from 1 vendor, this is your wedding, so you might consider making sure your DJ specializes in weddings. This is a once in a lifetime event.
Is your company a preferred vendor or member of any organizations?
This is extremely important. If your DJ has been in business for any length of time, they should have built a reputation with local vendors and venues. If that DJ has built a bad reputation, you as a bride might not know that because you are not a wedding vendor! Knowing that other organizations, venue, and vendors refer and put their stamp of approval on your DJ can help you get the inside scoop on whether or not your DJ is legit. If your DJ isn't on more than 1 or 2 preferred business lists, the next questions is where have you worked?...why don't they put you on a vendors list? Click to see who recommends Anything Music
Can you offer at least 3 RECENT references?
Any reputable company should be able to give you contact for some recent references. However, a DJ could do 97 bad jobs, then 3 good jobs, and use those 3 that went well as the same 3 references forever. Make sure the DJ can send recent references. We always send references from weddings/parties we have done within that month, so you know the references are real and current.
Why should we hire you?
This is probably the most important. Some people are afraid to ask the direct questions. You won't offend a DJ by asking them to tell you what makes them better. This is your wedding day...ask the tough ones. A DJ company should present themselves in a professional manner at all times, and any good DJ should have a good sales presentation, and a way of showing you what they can offer. We suggest that you interview at least 3 DJs before making a final decision. A DJ can make or break the wedding reception!

I'm so excited...i found some seed pods on my impatiens...i know they are not ready and did not "explode" when i touched them...when will i know by looking at them if they are ready...will they turn yellow or brown or dry? Please let me know...so excited!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine stay green and pop when I touch them. Maybe it depends on the variety though... |

As the seed pods grow they become somewhat translucent. These are really ripe. You can cup you hand around the pod and squeeze very lightly if it pops you will have a hand full of seeds. This can be a problem though, I have had pods explode seconds after I did this. It is better it use something like a little sock to catch the seeds. |

He at that time lived in Perry,Monroe,Ohio. He died in 1897. Henry and Cynthia had nine children and are burried in Low Gap,Monroe,Ohio. Can you help us in any way? Thanks.

Diving for more than 30 years, Ron Busch?PADI master instructor and owner of Coral Key Scuba and Travel Center?first decided to share his passion for underwater exploration in 1995 by building a facility that catered to all facets of scuba and snorkeling. Since its construction, the center has been recognized as a PADI five-star training center that offers scuba and snorkeling classes, professional gear, and diving trips to far-off locales such as Indonesia.
An avid traveler, Busch entrusts day-to-day duties to the center's manager, Randy Partch, a PADI master scuba diver and trainer who teaches 16 different diving specialties and boasts certification to repair and service many different brands of scuba equipment and one kind of Xerox machine.
Elvis Cinemas invites wide-eyed audiences to plunge into the ocean, soar above the clouds, and traipse across stretches of barren desert, all from the comfort of a theater seat. Its trio of theaters shows Hollywood blockbusters but keeps ticket prices down by playing them slightly after their initial release, when the characters have learned from their mistakes and changed their movie's plot accordingly. Unlike the massive movie corporations whose theater complexes pop up in every city and shopping mall, Elvis Cinemas is Colorado owned and operated and focuses all its attention on just three theaters.
Total Chaos Paintball brings video games into vivid reality, hosting colorful, officiated skirmishes on a 12,000-square-foot indoor battleground modeled after the Wasteland map from Call of Duty 2. Under constant pursuit by the opposing team, combatants duck down alleyways, hide behind urban debris, or outwit fast-moving opponents with quick presses of the pause button. The center can also simulate the stress of nighttime operations, killing the lights while a sound system broadcasts high-octane tunes to keep heart rates accelerated.
For more than 20 years, Colorado Sports Rental has helped visitors and locals alike get their adrenaline pumping in any season with gear in affordable rental packages. In the summer, they lend out recently purchased jet skis, fishing boats, and dirt bikes; the winter months bring new models of skis and snowboards from brands such as Burton, Neversummer, and Salomon, which patrons can rent for a day or all season. To accommodate resort hoppers, the staff can also supply ski racks and Thule boxes for the tops of cars.
Amateur golfers of any age or skill level can test their mettle in their choice of three tournaments during the Golfweek Amateur Tour, which sorts hard-driving participants into different flights based on handicap, then awards Visa cards and trophies to top finishers (not included with this Groupon, prize eligibility must be earned with an additional $20 fee and a verifiable handicap). Face off against a gauntlet of club-wielding foes—each armed with their own special move and elemental weakness—on verdant, well-groomed lawns dotted with hidden slopes and devilish bunkers. Entry fees cover the green fee, range balls, cart rental, and purchase of shrieking novelty putters that you can slip into opponents' bags. Purchasers will also receive $10 off a Denver Golfweek Amateur Tour annual membership (discount valid through January 31).

A tragic plane accident took the lives of 5 people outside of Kent in the UK today. Among the deceased were ex-drivers David Leslie and Richard Lloyd who were on their way to Nogaro for the FIA GT3 equalisation test where they were running the Team Apex Jaguar.
David Leslie had a strong driver career on the BTCC until 2003 when he started as a commentator in Eurosport for various touring car series. He had been Scottish karting champion as well asformula Ford champion.
Richard Lloyd raced Saloons in the 70s before switching to Sportscars with his own team, Richard Lloyd racing, where he raced group C Porsche 956s and 962s. He created Audi Sport UK racing in the BTCC and came back to sportscars running the Audi R8C program in 1999-2000 and then the Bentley EXP Speed 8 program in 2001. Lloyd had rebaptized the team as Apex Racing and was currently developing the XKR Jaguar for the FIA-GT3 championship.
From Planetlemans we extend our condolences to their families and those of the others deceased in the accident.
Terrible news, leslie was a great touring & le mans pilote and commentator on motors tv uk.
Richard Llyod, the boss behind bentleys return & win at le mans in 2003 etc.
Which i was there to witness R.I.P
I am still shocked. I knew David Leslie from the seventies, when I had retired from racing myself, and was driving Donington's Incident vehicle. A lovely man, and a great loss. Richard Lloyd too…a terrible day for our sport.
Gerry Taylor
A huge tragic loss to uk motorsport. Our thoughts are with there families.
Sad day. I had the pleasure of knowing Richard for 37 years, and was his mechanic in 1972 to 1976 during which time he raced a Camaro Z28 with great success, including winning the 1973 Avon Tour of Britain with James Hunt – a contemporary of Richard's at Wellington.
I once asked him how he would like to be remembered – as Cliff Richard's manager, a race driver whose highest achievement was finishing second at Le Mans – but he said he would always want to be remembered as a successful team manager – which he truly was. Rest in Peace – you achieved your every ambition.
David – we will miss you too
I too wish my condolences to everyone involved in the crash and have posted a tribute on my two websites.
I have to know, Gabriel Portos, i was up all last night and only found out that it was David Leslie and Richard Lloyd at about 4am UK time. How on earth did you find out? Great intel though.
Condolences to family and friends of these great racing minds.
Again terrible news!
I will miss the musings of one David Leslie on Eurosport' coverage of the FIA WTCC and this year's coverage of LMS on Eurosport. I am sure Martin Haven will encourage a moment of silence in the booth, one would hope.
King Richard is a legend winning the BTCC title with Audi and Le Mans has he brought home the spoils with the "Bentley Boys" which I know British fans are still celebrating…
You will be missed!
God Bless and God Speed.
yeh i just cannot belive it. i just found out today it was leslie etc. well im shocked and what a sad loss.
you will both be missed
Heartbraking news. May they rest in peace and may their families have a lot of strenght to go thrue a terrible period.
I remember David as being one of the greats in the BTCC.
He will be sorely missed.
So sad.
Richard I spoke once at the Goodwood festival of speed being so proud of the Bentley that won Le Mans…
Why is it allways the good ones that go amiss?
on behalf of many, many touringcar racing enthousiasts from Holland: my condolences. Only the good die young…
This is such sad news. I first worked with david in 97 with judd and then in 2001 engineering when he drove in the USA in speed world challenge. David was also a great teacher helping many drivers and mechanics with a deep technical knowledge outside the car, and we became very good friends. We always stayed in touch as our careers progressed and changed. Only last week i emailed him on the silverstone win.
My thoughts are with both yours and richards families.
First and foremost, sincere condolences to the families concerned – not forgetting those of the two pilots and the third passenger involved in the tragedy. I had the pleasure of meeting both Richard and David on a number of occasions. Both true gentlemen and "good sports" in the true sense of the phrase.
I just find it sad and almost unforgivable that even now (1st April 2008), Apex Motorsport has not felt it worthy to pay tribute or even comment on the sad loss of Richard especially, given that he was their Chairman and the man who founded the whole Company.
This is not entirely accurate as the Apex team paid tribute yesterday at Nogaro to the deceased. The GT3 Jaguar was on the pitlane with Dave's overall and helmet on its hood.
Gabriel is right. A minutes silence was also held at Nogaro yesterday. This is a huge blow and we should also pay tribute to Christopher Allarton, a data engineer for Apex Motorsport, plus the 2 others lost in the accident.
More details on the Nogaro tribute at the official site FIA-GT http://www.fiagt.com/newsitem.php?key=1507
Apologies for any confusion. I was referring to Apex Motorsport's own website.
My heart goes out to the families of those killed in this tragedy on Sunday, particularly to the family of Chris Allarton who was just starting his career and must have been so enthusiatic. I know how they must feel because I lost my son who had just qualified as a motorsport engineer 4 years ago.
God bless them all and never forget them.

A beautiful job, Mikawa. It must have been fairly difficult to conduct such a big construction project in the middle of your 'finished' garden, though you did a fine job as it looks as if it has always been there. Can you share some of the details of the materials you used, such as the walls and the posts and the roof? thanks, |
I love the stepping stone(?), path(?). Could you make a closer picture and post it? Andrea |
Simply superb. |
Great job!!!!!! Cheers Jando |

Yamaha IMX644 Mixer & IPA8200 Amp
Mar 29, 2011 11:08 AM, by John McJunkin
The IMX644 and IPA8200 are intended to compliment each other, presumably with the amp in bridged mode, offering four powerful channels to align with the mixer's four outputs. Indeed, the amp has enough power to create plenty of SPL, and with the matrixing and DSP capacity of the mixer, this is the heart of a formidable system. As one would expect from Yamaha, the quality of the audio is very good—the DSP equalization and filtering sounds great, and the priority ducking works reliably. The front panel of the mixer is very straightforward, and frankly it wouldn't be hard to train even a non-professional sufficiently to understand and operate it. Failing that, however, the system's 16 presets further simplify the operation to the extent that it could almost be handled by a chimpanzee. And for more sophisticated control, the computer software grants detailed command of every parameter. The pricing is reasonable, considering the quality, power, and flexibility of the system, and it doesn't take up a lot of real estate. If you have a need for a formidable mixer/amp combination for an installation, or even for either component individually, take a look at these.
John McJunkin is the principal of Avalon Podcasting in Chandler, Arizona. He has consulted in the development of studios and installations and provides high quality podcast production services.

I just read the new article Mouse Business. The last paragraph brought back warm and fuzzy memories.
Admittedly, when I heard the EA rumor I was a little skeptical. But it did make me dig up my old Walt Disney World Explorer CD-ROM, 1998 edition. Looking at the broken CD case and worn box I said to myself, "This sure would be nice on Playstation 3".
We actually wore one out and bought a second one though I can't remember off hand which edition. It brought Disney home for us. My cardboard sleeve case was worn and dog-eared. My children were small and this was my very first game, bought just for me. It ran on our Mac and a few years later Apple kinda stumbled there for a few years, we moved onto a PC and my WDWE-CD wouldn't work on it. I know I've kept it somewhere, I would love to play it for old time sake. :mickeykid
Thanks for the warm and fuzzy memories Christopher! :-D


text: If The Simpsons ever did a parody of Mortal Kombat, the result might be BloodStorm, a brutal fighting game in which players cut each other's arms off, launch cruise missiles at one another, and get impaled.

Unknown Roman, A.D. 50 - 100 Marble 58 11/16 in. 79.AA.132
In Greek religion, Hermes was the god of boundaries and crossroads. A herm was a representation of the god showing his head atop a pillar, to which genitalia were added. Herms were placed at boundaries and thresholds as ritual guardians. This Roman sculpture is a copy of a famous herm known as the Hermes Propyleia carved by the Greek sculptor Alkamenes in the late 400s B.C. and set up at the entrance to the Athenian akropolis. Alkamenes carved the herm in an archaizing or intentionally old-fashioned style, combining facial features of the 400s B.C. with the beard and hairstyle typical of the Archaic period of the 500 s B.C. As religious sculpture, herms were often carved in an archaizing style in order to give them an air of ancient sanctity. During Roman times, herms lost their religious significance and became a popular garden and courtyard ornament. Over time, this herm has lost several separately carved and added elements, including two short bars that projected from the sides at shoulder height and the penis from the front of the pillar.

justin of houston, writes:
I seem to wear mattresses out faster than the 10 years they advertise. I currently have a S. Posturpedic Corbel that WAS nice, but has already been sagging at my hips in the past year.
I'm convinced latex is the best, will hold it's shape longer for me than springs or M. Foam, & hope to find a weybridge/jasmine/isabella display to try. Even better compare to a beachisde(?/?). But after reading some of your advice to heavier folks, especially those who sleep on their backs (I'm 6-02 225 & FALL asleep on my back, but wake in other random positions)- you tell them to look to firmest innerspring mattresses, possibly with a latex topper. Why is this? Even the firmest available latex mattresses can't match the support of springs? I've read that Simmons B.R. even with 13ga springs will sag just like my corbel did (maybe moreso since I've learned their springs are untempered vs. S.P. & S&F).
So I guess I say all that to ask you this- what's the firmest Sealy innerspring? Not needing alot of pillow, plush, or memory foam etc. at the top? I'd rather err on the side of too firm & add a topper if necessary than buy one too plush with a topper I can't remove & that will eventually compress.
Also, I understand with the weybridge, its core is a solid block of denser latex foam (vs. the beachside)- but what IS found between the top of the core & the fabric that covers the mattress? Are there crossection pictures or cutaway graphics displaying the layers anywhere, that you know of?
Sorry, too much to put on your blog. Feel free to edit as needed. Any advice would be appreciated. Your bog already saved me from spending thousands on a tempurpedic. Besides I am very sensitive to smells- so might sticking to innersprings be a smart move in that regard vs. latex even?
Thank you,
Hi Justin. You're not alone. Those mattress warranties protect you against defects. They aren't really indicative of the actual life you'll get from them. It's the industry's fault really...offering such a rediculously long, misleading warranty. You could spend just as much or more on a living room set and get only a 1 year warranty. You can spend 10 times as much or more on a car and get only a 5 year warranty. In the old days, mattresses really did last that long, and longer...and the warranties weren't as good. Now, the warranties are better and the beds aren't as good. The warranty raises expectations and everyone is disappointed. Belive me, you're not alone.
Sealy's innerspring is the same throughout their line. The higher coil count starts with the Reserve Series level 7. A cushion firm or firm from that level with a latex topper added, makes for a very comfortable and supportive bed that will last for years. Latex mattresses are the most durable, but also more expensive. The core of the Sealy SpringFree is comprised of 3 layers of latex. The same core is used in each model. It's the other layers that determine the feel. The Sealy SpringFree is virtually odor free.
WE DELIVER EVERYWHERE in the Continental US.
FREE DELIVERY on all Sealy Posturepedic Signature, Sealy SpringFree Latex and S&F Estate models....and adjustable beds w/ mattresses.
All mattresses are freshly made to your order. The date of manufacture is on the "law" tag.

WASHINGTON, April 14, 2013 — It is hard to imagine a more flawed character than the one Edie Falco plays on Showtime's series "Nurse Jackie." Maybe that's why we love her so much. Fresh out of rehab and attempting to put her life together, the former pill-popping, scheming and adulterous Jackie is struggling to find her footing in season five of this always mesmerizing series.
For all her glaring flaws, her career as a caring and rule-bending nurse has never been a problem, as she deftly navigates the health care maze in defense of her patients. Just when the viewer is ready to write her off as morally bankrupt, Jackie does something out-of-the-ordinary and above the call of duty for one of patients that totally redeems her in the eyes of the audience
SEE RELATED: TV tonight: CMAs, Mad Men, Game of Thrones and finale of Shameless
On the way to achieving much-needed sobriety, Jackie has managed in the course of the series to ruin her marriage, alienate her kids and lose her job at All Saints Hospital. Only a changing of the guard at the hospital has enabled her to get her old job back. But the new, no-nonsense head of the E.R. promises to be just as challenging as the previous one when it comes to Jackie's unorthodox approach to patient care.
Anyone who has had the misfortune of finding themselves in need of emergency room services can certainly relate to the seemingly endless comedy of errors detailed in this series. In today's world, short of bleeding out in the middle of the waiting room, there is little a person can do to get timely assistance in most circumstances. Bet you've been there, too.
After all, who doesn't have an emergency room horror story these days? Who hasn't felt more like they were at the DMV waiting for their number to be called than sitting in an emergency room where one's life and death can hang in the balance?
Unfortunately there are few nurses in the system like Jackie. But Edie Falco makes us believe there may be at least one, somewhere, if only for a half hour each Sunday night. Regardless of the ongoing train wreck that is her personal life, we hope to have someone like Jackie in our corner when that inevitable emergency situation arises.

Rounding Algorithms
CmdrTaco posted about 9 years ago | from the now-that's-just-wierd dept.
279dtmos writes "Clive Maxfield has an interesting article up on PL DesignLine cataloging most (all?) of the known rounding algorithms used in computer math. As he states, "...the mind soon boggles at the variety and intricacies of the rounding algorithms that may be used for different applications ... round-up, round-down, round-toward-nearest, arithmetic rounding, round-half-up, round-half-down, round-half-even, round-half-odd, round-toward-zero, round-away-from-zero, round-ceiling, round-floor, truncation (chopping), round-alternate, and round-random (stochastic rounding), to name but a few." It's a good read, especially if you *think* you know what your programs are doing."

A new typology of policies to tackle health inequalities and scenarios of impact |
based on Rose's population approach Website: http://bit.ly/OED6YV "………The last decade has witnessed a surge in interest for policies to tackle health inequalities. Adequate theoretical development of policy models is needed to understand how to design and evaluate equity-oriented health policies. In this paper we review Graham's typology of policies (focused on the worst-off, on the gap, or on the gradient) and propose an adaptation (targeted, universal with additional targeting, redistributive, and proportionate universalism).

The other day, I found two Variegated Fritillary cats on pansies at work. I brought them home, and am feeding them my pansies (they won't eat the passionflower vine). I was wondering, with the weather chilling, if they can still make the migration this late in the season? Should I be keeping them outside, or keep them inside and just release them when they are adults? I couldn't find much info on this, so help would be appreciated. I'm in TN, btw |

I haven't been able to find out much information about how variegated frits live their lives, either. I found a late VF cat a few weeks ago on P. incarnata, which is the only type passionvine I've known them to use, they don't like the various hybrids or P. caerulea, as far as I know. I raised it myself, and it's now a chrysalis in a cage with spicebush swallowtail chrsyalides on my porch. I'm going to leave it where it is - I don't think bringing chrysalides in the house is a good idea, since they're apt to emerge in a warmed house during the middle of winter, when there are no other VFs around for them to mate with and no nectar or host plants available. If I were you, I'd do the same, even though I don't know if VFs regularly spend the winter as adults or chrysalides - I'm hoping this one will show me. I think it's going to overwinter, since it's been long enough for it to emerge - they don't usually take too long - but if their normal routine is to overwinter as adults, it may die. I guess I'll find out. Keep us posted as to how yours does, since the books don't give much if any information. Sherry |

I read that the VF is a migrant in the North and does not overwinter. Most Northern species of Fritillaries overwinter as very young cats that don't feed until the following Spring, when the Violet leaves are young and tender. |
- Posted by bernergrrl z5 IL (My Page) on Tue, Nov 5, 13 at 11:54
Very interesting! Just an idea--maybe if you have a rearing cage, one of those butterfly pavilions or someother structure, you can keep them in that outside somewhere. It would be interesting to see what would happen with them. I can't find my one very thorough guide book, and if MissSherry isn't sure either, and the below link also mentions that there's no certaintly about how/whether they overinwter in northern states, it definitely seems a mystery. So, you'd be doing us all (and science) a favor, by keeping them in some kind of container in a natural setting. :) Keeping them in a container outside would help to mimic the natural conditions--perhaps putting in a layer of garden debris/leaves to give them an area that would mimic garden conditions. If they overwinter as a cat, they'd most likley find shelter under some leaves at the base of a plant. And the container would let you know exactly where they were. Gosh, what an awesome find! :) It's also nice to know that the pansies weren't treated with some kind of pesticide that would kill them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Var Frit life info

How did those VF cats do? |
- Posted by bernergrrl z5 IL (My Page) on Thu, Nov 7, 13 at 18:11
So fun to follow this. The leaves idea was if it were going to overwinter as a caterpillar, which is obviously not the case. :) Hmmm---keep us posted if it ecloses; if it doesn't soon, then you'd probably need to treat it as an overwintering chrysalis. Have fun! |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Nov 10, 13 at 22:50
They would only lay eggs on Pansies and would require some sort of nectar to survive indoors, along c a lot of sun and some warmth. You can try a plastic dish scrubber sitting in a dish of reconstituted Hummingbird nectar a day or so after eclosure (Most butterflies do not feed right away after eclosure). This works at our annual live butterfly exhibits here in Madison. You can also obtain some carefully chosen plants from your local greenhouse, such as Lantana or Pentas. Keep as well lit as possible. You may also want to wash your plants well to remove any and all pesticides. Fritillaries may even take a bit of overripe fruit, such as banana. You may get a few days to two weeks in the adult stage. |
I do have some lantana, but it's not blooming. Why can't pansies sustain adults with their nectar? Are they too hybridized? |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (email@example.com) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 11:21
You could try, though I've never thought of Pansies as nectar plants. |
The pupa died. Looked out there today, and it the tissue had broken at the grip. :( |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (email@example.com) on Fri, Nov 15, 13 at 12:13
I'm sorry to hear that:( I guess some things weren't meant to be. |

We created a scheme of nectar-rich nepeta, lavenders, geranium, polemonium, salvia and achillea to support a range of pollinating insects. To make the pot absolutely irresistible we added two 'bee hotels' to provide nesting opportunities for solitary bees.
1Sit the pot in position, then place a layer of yogurt pots or crocks to aid drainage. Part-fill with compost.
2Add the plants, placing the taller ones at the back and the lower growing species at the front. Top up with compost and water well.
3To make the two bee hotels, drill several deep, 5-8mm wide holes into a 15-20cm long log, and fill an offcut of drainpipe with lengths of bamboo. Place among the plants.

this im truly dreading. hence the obsession with being as informed as possible so as to better make my case. and i don't want to go asking him before i know if ive been accepted. and im expecting more information if/when my letter arrives to reassure him.

297 Australian Delegation, United Nations, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram UN959 NEW YORK, 8 December 1946, 10.04 p.m.
Assembly 378. Disarmament.
1. Sub-Committee continued debate on paragraph 3 of United States draft (Assembly 301) [1], and Soviet amendment. [2]
2. Discussion centred mainly on interpretation of the phrase 'within the framework of the Security Council'. [3] Molotov was not present and Vyshinsky appeared to be acting under instructions to make no concessions. He repeatedly referred to Molotov's statement on 4th December that 'the decision on reduction of armaments should be taken by means of a resolution of the Security Council', and that the Control Commissions would 'work in accordance with these rules drawn up for them by the Security Council'. He argued- (a) That Articles 24 and 26 gave the Security Council primary responsibility for disarmament and that the Council could not surrender that responsibility.
(b) That Article 2(B) of the Assembly Resolution of 24th January establishing the Atomic Energy Commission [4] meant that the Security Council would issue directions to the Control Commissions.
(c) That the Control Commissions would be subsidiary organs of the Security Council.
3. We pointed out that the U.S.S.R. had already agreed that the control system must be established by International Convention and insisted that the resolution must clearly state that the powers of the Control Commissions will be derived from and defined in the Convention.
4. This position was supported by Canada, United States of America, China, India, France and the United Kingdom, and Shawcross proposed the following redraft of paragraph 3-
'To ensure the adoption of measures for the reduction of armaments and prohibition of the use of atomic energy for military purposes and other major weapons adaptable for mass destruction here shall be established by means of a Convention or Conventions as mentioned in paragraph 2, within the framework of the Security Council who bear the main responsibility for international peace and security but acting independently of that body in the discharge of the functions assigned to them by such Convention or Conventions, a system of international control operating on the basis of a special provision which should provide for the establishment of special organs of inspection for which purpose there shall be formed (a) A Commission for carrying out the Convention or Conventions in regard to the reduction of armaments, including the operation of any necessary system of control and inspection.
(b) A Commission or Commissions for carrying out the Convention in regard to the prohibition of the use of atomic energy for warlike purposes and its control and supervision for peaceful purposes and in regard to the prohibition of other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction.
The Commission referred to in paragraph 3(b) shall be entitled as occasion may require to add to the list of prohibited weapons.'
5. This is much less objectionable than the original Soviet draft, but still retains the phrase 'within the framework of the Security Council', which is still dangerous, even with the United Kingdom additions. The United Kingdom draft also leaves much too vague the functions of the proposed Commissions. We suggested that a small Drafting Committee might be appointed to formulate a resolution in logical order as follows- (a) General principles for formulation of system of disarmament.
(b) Prohibition of atomic and other weapons of mass destruction and recommendation on type of control suited to special problem of atomic energy.
(c) Regulation and reduction of armaments other than weapons of mass destruction.
6. Vyshinsky said that if Sub-Committee could have an opportunity of studying the United Kingdom amendment it might not be necessary to appoint a Drafting Committee, and it was decided to defer reference to Drafting Group until after next meeting of Sub- Committee.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009
I recently came across three security spending surveys that, for the most part, point to positive signs for the security software market during this recessionary calendar year. All three point to security being among the most "mission-critical" (i.e. "must have") area of all of software and IT spending, with identity and access management being one of the most important areas within security given compliance requirements and concerns regarding who has access to sensitive data.
The first one, from Forrester was quoted heavily in Microsoft's various RSA press announcements and stated that companies will devote 12.6 percent of IT budgets to security in 2009, up from 7.2 percent in 2007 (Source: "The State of Enterprise IT Security 2008-2009," Forrester Research Inc., December 2008). That's a 75% increase, so unless IT budgets were to be cut in a draconian manner, it represents a net increase of security spending.
The second one, sponsored by CA, said that 42% of IT managers will increase their security spend this year, 50% will keep it flat, while only 8% will decrease. So that survey weighs in with a "growth" vote. You can see the press release on this survey here.
The third survey that I saw recently is Goldman Sachs' annual security spending survey. Published on April 15, it finds that security spending will decrease in 2009 by 1.6% compared to a 9% in overall decline in IT spending and a 5% decline in software spending. (Note I previously blogged about the 2008 edition and the 2007 edition of this report here and here). So a bit more pessimistic compared to the other surveys, but it still represents basic flatness, and as one VC said recently in a San Jose Mercury article that "flat is the new up." One potential silver lining in the Goldman Sachs report is that 2010 spending will increase by 2.9% compared to expectations of a 1% decline in overall IT spending in 2010. The report was based on an interview of 50 Fortune 1000 IT execs.
Goldman Sachs in the report notes that the "pace of data creation, and mobility of that data, continues to increase" is what is keeping up CISOs up at night, and that "the need to secure data at rest and [in] flight is only growing in importance." The report then says that the top four spending priorities — mobile security, identity and access management, data loss prevention and endpoint security — "speak to this theme." Below is the table from the report showing the top intends to spend within security (source: Goldman Sachs Security Spending Survey, April 15, 2009, page 16):
[Good news for Centrify is that identity and access management is one of the two top intends to spend :-) ]
The final last major bit of information that I got out of the Goldman Sachs report was the survey results on the biggest drivers of an organizations IT security spending. Not surprisingly, the biggest "stick" was compliance, which is what we have found to be the biggest driver of our solution as well. Here are the results, showing compliance, external threats and internal threats being the top three respectively (source: Goldman Sachs Security Spending Survey, April 15, 2009, page 19):
Net net: two recent surveys show an increase in security spending in 2009, and the other one describes flatness in 2009 with an increase next year. But the theme of security being considered by customers as a "must have" during a recession are consistent amongst the three. I will keep my eye out for other security spending analysis and will blog about them if/when I see them.

I am a long time Autodesk CAD and Revit user. For a while now I have wanted to start a freelance cad/bim service but have been put off by the extreme cost of purchasing the licenses needed. Finally, I saw that an LT version of Revit was available and was at a reasonable price, so I purchased it....
I am a little baffled by some of the reasoning why some features were left out. Particularly the conceptual and massing tools. Why on earth were these features left out? Does Autodesk think that these tools are worth the extra $5,000 to access these tools in the full version? I can understand the decision to leave out analysis tools and even the internal renderer, but things like this leave me scratchin' my head....
Are there any intentions to add these features and some of the others left out in future releases? Or better yet, is there any intention of going to a flat monthly subscription fee for use of Autodesk products like revit?
A little clarity would be appreciated...
Perhaps they were just looking for things to disable, without making LT unusable. So many things in Revit are essential, that I imagine it was difficult deciding. Leave too much in, though, and people will stop buying the full version.
I haven't had the opportunity to play with massing much, so I won't miss it a lot. I'm thinking rendering and point clouds will be the big things I'll miss. Glad they didn't leave out walls... Heh heh...
All in all, I'm glad they released Revit LT. I'll survive without the missing elements. My poor copy of AutoCAD LT will get pretty lonely now. I'll still use it for our astronomy club newsletter, though...
I'm just getting started so steep learning curve here.
Andersen Window Studio - Is this interface an API and therefore nor usable in Revit LT?
Or more to the point and to be sure: Add-in Registration is another disabled feature?
Charles_Shade wrote:Add-in Registration is another disabled feature?...
Correct. No third party API applications for Revit LT.
About why some features are left out, well, is understandable. It Revit LT had almost everything, it would be a competitor for the full Revit. You get fewer features for less money. If you want all the features, that costs more money.
Just part of the info gathering that I am doing. I completely understand the need to limit the software.
Though learning these things may make me decide to go with the Full Seat.
I'm not sure that currently it makes sense but fives years from now? I may be way ahead of the curve.
My sophomore son is using Inventor in High School and I suspect Revit by the time he graduates.
I'll be a fossil soon enough.
I guess yule have to get your Anderson windows the old fashioned way -- through Autodesk seek

5. Lincoln-Way East
The Griffins, who move to the SouthWest Suburban Red this season, have to replace All-Area performers Jim Ralph and Mike Roth, but they return several key contributors from last year's SouthWest Suburban Blue and regional champions. A pair of Seans — goalie McGovern and midfielder Sibley — lead the way.
6. Lemont
Last season was an aberration for the Indians, as they finished 15-4-4 but fell short of conference and regional titles. Eric Whatley, Christian Goushas and Tedor Trifunovski lead a talented junior class.
7. Bloom
The Blazing Trojans, fresh off a 19-3-1 season that included a 10-0 run through the Southland Conference, return a strong core on defense. Ricardo Aldape, who joins the team after playing with the Fire Academy last season, should provide a major boost for the offense.
8. St. Laurence
The Vikings, who made the Class 2A Sweet Sixteen in last season's breakout campaign, took a hit when coach Nate Grosse left for a college job earlier this month, but Bill Gaichas inherits a talented team with five returning starters.
9. Eisenhower
The Cardinals won the South Suburban Red in Iran Rodriguez's first season and will look to reload to replace a talented Class of 2012.
10. Reavis
The Rams bring back dangerous forward Jose Estrada and goalie Rafal Slomba among six returning starters from last season's regional champion squad. Jose Alvarez, a transfer from Eisenhower, should give the defense a boost.

Anglia Plus
To make it easier, and better value, for you to explore Norfolk, Suffolk and parts of Cambridgeshire by train, we have developed the Anglia Plus range of tickets.
The beauty of these train tickets is that you can 'hop on and hop off' the train - so you can visit more than one destination in a day.
You can choose between an Anglia Plus One Day Ranger or a 'Three Days in Seven' Flexi Rover, and there's no need to book in advance - just turn up and go! These tickets can be purchased on the day of travel from any staffed Abellio Greater Anglia station or from the conductor on the train if you start your journey from an unstaffed station.
Anglia Plus tickets are also available as weekly, monthly and annual season tickets within the entire Anglia Plus area or in county-based zones - for details click here.
Anglia Plus One Day Ranger
Spend the day travelling wherever you like within the Anglia Plus area for just £17.70 per adult. Up to 4 accompanied children can travel with each adult for just £2.00 per child with this great value fare.
Anglia Plus 'Three Days in Seven' Flexi Rover
This pass gives you all the flexibility of the One Day Ranger for just £35.40 per adult - which means your third day's travel is free! You choose whichever three days you would like to travel on within a seven day period - and children are still just £2.00 each when accompanied by an adult.
Both the One Day Ranger and the Flexi Rover are valid after 08.45 on Mondays to Fridays (with a few local exceptions allowing earlier travel) and at any time at weekends and on Bank Holidays. All prices apply from 2 January 2014 until 1 January 2015.
You can take your bicycle with you free of charge on all Abellio Greater Anglia services in the Anglia Plus area, but space is limited.
