Best ADC Bronze
I mean come on the slow is fine on her but why would you increase the dmg on all her hits. its just too much. Why not keep the slow but take out the dmg increase. Because if Kayle has a Guinsoo thatas dmg and speed. And then comes Nashor's tooth for the 50 AP. She hits so hard and she heals so much when she is AP she is almost unkillable 1 v 1 when she reaches lv 9 which can be reached in only 10 minutes

It's +6-10% damage. 6 to 10 PERCENT damage. For every 100 that she deals after her Q lands, she deals an extra 6-10. You're complaining about one of the most innate things in Kayle's kit. She has no steroids in her kit unless you want to count Righteous Fury as an attack range steroid, so she instead increases the damage her target takes.
But think about it she can shred anyone's HP in a matter of seconds. If she has a lot of speed you are basically dead.. On top of that Malady and Nashor and Guinsoo. They all give AP and Dmg. And speed. The more she hits you the more dmg she does. Also E works off Ap. all that is over 100 with an atk speed of almost 1.7 or something. In under 10 seconds she can hit you 17 times. If each hit is 100 dmg thats 1700 health. And with a little bit of CDR she will have E right back up and start messing you up right again/ you cant escape. Then she ulti's so you are useless for 2 secs
Most combats end well before the 10 second mark. On top of which, an ADC with a similar amount of gold at the same point in the game (you said level 9, so we'll go with that) will easily do that much in around half the time. Also, Kayle QQ. I laughed just a bit.
Ok so tell me who would downright kill Kayle.
kayle is super useless champ xD u can kill her fast and easy with a tanky champ or assa i kill her with jax, rengar, darius, wukong, malphite and other 100 champ
Build MR and maybe even a Warden's Mail. That would chunk her damage hard. If you've got a similar amount of gold and you're a bruiser, you'll beat her. AP Kayle mid is a lane bully, though. If you know you're against her, bring someone with CC so you can disengage and not get your face ripped off.

Cushing has a glut of oil, the pipeline from Cushing to Freeport is to allow domestic oil to be shipped to East Coast refineries to ease gas prices there.
New oil production in the midwest has overwhelmed the capacity to store/utilize that oil in the middle of the country.
This pipeline and the reversal(plan to ship oil south to ports instead of north from imported oil) of the existing pipeline are for domestic consumption.

I have been running across references to ALEC these last couple of days. Very interesting. Someone with resources should expose the members.
Telling Your State Legislators What to Do:
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)The most important group, I'm pretty sure, is the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which was founded in 1973 by Henry Hyde, Lou Barnett, and (surprise, surprise) Paul Weyrich. Its goal for the past forty years has been to draft "model bills" that conservative legislators can introduce in the 50 states. Its website claims that in each legislative cycle, its members introduce 1000 pieces of legislation based on its work, and claims that roughly 18% of these bills are enacted into law. (Among them was the controversial 2010 anti-immigrant law in Arizona.)
If you're as impressed by these numbers as I am, I'm hoping you'll agree with me that it may be time to start paying more attention to ALEC and the bills its seeks to promote.
You can start by studying ALEC's own website. Begin with its home page at
First visit the "About" menu to get a sense of the organization's history and its current members and funders. But the meat of the site is the "model legislation" page, which is the gateway to the hundreds of bills that ALEC has drafted for the benefit of its conservative members.

Supreme Court rejects Massachusetts felons' voting rights challenge
Three Massachusetts felons alleged that the commonwealth violated the Voting Rights Act when it passed a referendum stripping incarcerated felons of the right to vote.
Massachusetts prison inmates have lost a bid to regain their voting rights after claiming that a state referendum diluted black and Hispanic political clout because of the higher proportion of minorities in the commonwealth's prison system.
The US Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the case of three inmates who sued the Commonwealth of Massachusetts after a 2000 referendum stripped incarcerated felons of the right to vote.
The inmates filed suit in federal court claiming the action violated the federal Voting Rights Act because it had a disparate impact on the political power of minority voters across Massachusetts.
The lawsuit said the Massachusetts measure exerted a "disproportionately adverse effect on the voting rights of African Americans and Hispanic Americans compared to its effect on the voting rights of other citizens."
This is so, the lawsuit said, because African Americans and Hispanic Americans are over-represented in Massachusetts prisons. The overrepresentation is caused, in part, by "considerable racial and ethnic bias, both direct and subtle, in the Massachusetts court system," the lawsuit said.
The Voting Rights Act bars states from passing measures that undercut the opportunity of black and Hispanic voters to elect representatives of their choice. The law is designed to ensure that the political process is equally open to certain protected groups regardless of race or color.
The dispute began in the late 1990s when a group of Massachusetts prison inmates decided to take civic involvement to a new level. Upset over the length of their terms of incarceration, they resolved to organize a political action committee and use their collective clout to win their freedom by changing the laws that put them behind bars.

Dave Karger sees this group playing musical chairs for the five coveted spots. Which three will be left out when the music stops on Jan. 22?
By now, nearly every awards-baiting film has screened for the media and members of the Academy. And it appears that the Best Picture contest has narrowed to an octet of contenders: two that have already been released (The Dark Knight and Slumdog Millionaire), two that hit theaters this week (Australia and Milk), and four that are set to debut in December (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Frost/ Nixon, and Revolutionary Road). As of now, there's no true lock à la No Country for Old Men or The Lord of the Rings from years past; in fact, any combination of five seems perfectly feasible at this point. Here's how each of the eight unofficial semifinalists listed in order of likelihood could make it into the final five...and what might leave them on Oscar's cutting-room floor.

Halloween Habits* ;-) A s you may know, tomorrow is All Hallows, a christian religious holiday here, when the dead are remembered and honoured. Since the 31st is the evening before All Hallows, it has been named Hallow E'en. Driven by a pious sense of politically correct equal-opportunity, American christians use today to remember and dishonour The Undead. To this end people dress up as The Undead, for example in Wall Street bankers' suits and anoint themselves with greenish zombie make-up, an example of a
In 1785, Scottish poet Robbie Burns wrote a fascinating poem about Halloween, and tells us [in broad Scots=Lallans] of the playing of pranks, telling of scary stories, and haunted attractions. Not unlike the ESFS conference in Brussels last week ;-) Nowadays children go begging from house to house, which also is not unlike their future role after the Brussels ESFS conference last week aka the EuroZone Debt Deal :-( 'The Undead' is a collective name for mythological, legendary, and fictional beings that are deceased and yet behave as if alive. Undead may be incorporeal, such as ghosts, or corporeal, such as vampires, zombies and bankers. Undead are featured in the legends of most cultures and in many works of horror- and fantasy fiction, such as the New Testament ;-) Enough mocking.

125th anniversary The Statue of Liberty - a present from France to the USA celebrating the success of the European-Rejects-Export policy - was inaugerated 125 years ago yesterday. And yet you still get american tourists in Paris (France) gazing at the filigree structure of the Eiffel tower who do not know that the Statue of Liberty's internal framework (the armature, not the 3/32 of an inch thin green skin) is also a filigree construction by the same Monsieur Eiffel. Several Americans living in France were so pleased by the gift of the Statue of Liberty to their country that they built a ¼ scale bronze model which stands on the downstream end of the Île aux Cygnes, 1.4 km southwest of the Eiffel Tower. So this too - even if less well known - is worth a visit if you are ever in Paris. BTW, Eiffel also designed the magnificent central railway stations in Santiago de Chile and in Budapest.

Charge of the Light Brigade :-) F irst off, let me thank Mostly Cajun for reminding us that yesterday was not only the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt (1415) but also the anniversary (1854) of the Charge of the Light Brigade as part of the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War (England vs. Russia, 1854). Now as it happens, I have an .m3u file of the bugle call signalling that very charge, so you can now listen to it using Winamp or Windows Media Player. Trumpeter Landfrey was one of the survivors of the Charge of the Light Brigade and on August 2nd of 1890 he made a recording of his famous bugle call on the most modern medium available, an Edison brown wax cylinder :-) It is this historic recording which you will hear. Trumpeter Landfrey sounded the charge at Balaklava on the very same bugle which had sounded the charge at Waterloo, which had become a regimental heirloom. It is that famous bugle which you can hear on this blog, right here. Comments (2) : Mournday, October 24, 2011
58 down :-( MotoGP racer Marco Simoncelli died yesterday after a crash during sunday's race. Simoncelli was probably the most aggressive rider in the MotoGP circus and had already fallen off six times this season afaik. This time it was a low-sider (i.e. the front wheel slide away under him, I guess due to excessive lean angle) which trapped him under the bike, tearing off his helmet. Simoncelli himself chose to wear a larger size helmet to accommodate his trademark mass of afro-style fuzzy hair (see photo). This may have contributed to the loss of the helmet. Then Edwards and Rossi, right behind him, could not avoid him although both tried very hard. From the video, it looks like Rossi ran over one of his legs and Edwards hit his chest. Edwards was thrown off too and dislocated his shoulder, but Rossi was uninjured and was able to ride back to his pit. The race was stopped and indeed cancelled for the day. RIP Marco; you were a hard rider. These are just my guesses, we shall have to wait for the official report. Update 26/10/11 : The stretcher-bearers who were carrying Simoncelli to the ambulance stumbled and dropped him from the stretcher! Question: Was that ultimately the cause of death for an already seriously injured man? A neutral investigation is needed! Comments (2) : Sunday, October 23, 2011
Happy Creation Day ;-)A new day dawned, exactly 6015 years ago today. Creationists ( = people who believe they never evolved, I'd second that ) believe the universe was created on October 23rd 4004 BC. Of course, they didn't use the modern(?) Gregorian calendar back before 1582 AD, so the calculation was done using the Julian Calendar. Of course, they didn't use the Julian calendar back in 4004 BC either, so we have to make it proleptic ( = count backwards, correcting for the 445-day year which Caesar invented in 46 BC too). This date was decided upon arbitrarily by Bishop Ussher (whose house fell down in 1839, as described in Edgar Allen Poe's short story), a hard-drinking Irishman and authority of the One True Church. He achieved this incredible (sic!) accuracy by counting back through all the "begats" in the Bible and making his own assumptions about the average length of a generation. Sounds plausible, right? Just as plausible as the rest of the creationist nonsense. Whatever : have a nice day :-)

the There is almost no visible* roadside** prostitution, so the One True Church® doesn't get 'excited' about the issue.
There is however a 'Sauna-club' with 25-40 whores (aged 18-35) at any time,
a flat-rate bordello, a Sado-Maso studio and a 'Fitness club'. Additionally there are about 25 apartments where some 30 to 50 prostitutes tup their customers.
Customers come up to A possible problem is that of human trafficking whereby foreign girls are 'imported' by gangs, their passports and money taken from them and they are forced to work as prostitutes.

This is part seven of a series on the start of the 2008 presidential election's general campaign. Links to the rest of the series can be found at the bottom of the article.
Late last June, when 2008's epic presidential primary season was just starting to pick up momentum, a TV ad aired in Iowa. It featured a 2007 high-school graduate, Abby Bowman, decrying the quality of the United States' education system. "When I hear that other kids in other countries are so much more advanced than we are in education," Bowman said in the spot, "it's kind of embarrassing."
The ad was paid for and produced by "Ed in '08," a publicity campaign implemented last June by Strong American Schools, a nonpartisan education advocacy organization. The campaign's sole purpose: get the presidential candidates talking about education. And make education A Big Issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.
When the initiative was announced last summer, many in the education sector—policy wonks and pundits alike—were excited about its potential to get education into the nationwide dialogue that a presidential campaign compels. (Legally, SAS cannot lobby on behalf of a particular party or platform or agenda; all it can do is raise the profile of education issues in general.) A June 24, 2007, Boston Globe editorial praised the campaign:
Education needs the promotional help. It has to compete against Iraq, terrorism, and global warming as a campaign issue. Candidates and voters seem less occupied with education, even though, as the [Ed in '08] campaign points out, 1.1 million students a year drop out of high school. The country should be worried, because the economy increasingly relies on how much Americans know.
Adding to the hope and the high expectations for "Ed in '08" was the fact that the initiative was kept afloat by deep pockets: The Eli Broad Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation teamed up to finance the campaign, its television ads, radio spots, and other publicity efforts. Together, Broad and Gates had donated $60 million to the "Ed in '08" effort. "We're trying to create a Sputnik moment," Eli Broad said at the time, "to get people to see that," in the nation's education system, "our very economic future is at stake."
Well. It is perhaps little surprise to anyone who's been following the 2008 primary campaigns that, despite the noble intentions—and the extravagant sums—devoted to it, "Ed in '08" has thus far achieved little success in fulfilling its mission. The Sputnik moment has yet to transpire. To call education even a marginal issue in the rhetoric of the campaign trail at this point would be severe overstatement.
We've written about this before. Though voters consistently place education among the highest of their political concerns, in poll after poll after poll—and though politicians themselves have made a point of talking about it in debates and in stump speeches—education has been virtually invisible in the aggregate of campaign coverage. Based on the amount we're hearing about it as a campaign issue—and thus as a problem for the next president to tackle—you'd think things were fine with the state of our education system: that our country's kids aren't dropping out of school at an average rate of 7,000 per day. That our high-school students don't rank well below students in other industrialized countries when it comes to math and science. That our schools overall aren't ranked near the bottom when compared to twenty-one other developed nations.
Things, of course, are not fine. The world's strongest economy has a relatively weak education system. And the fact that that is now a truism is, frankly, shameful.
Which is not to say that education should be, necessarily, a dominant issue in the 2008 election. Campaign coverage is a zero-sum game, especially in the mainstream political press—and part of the reason we aren't focused on education right now, after all, is that we are focused on other issues: Iraq and Afghanistan, the economy, health care. As we should be. These are vital and urgent and in dire need of discussion and solution.

Sarah Phillips
this wiki
Sarah Phillips is a main protagonist of Liberty's Kids. She is a 15-year old Teenage girl from England. At her first appearance, she is a firm loyalist who doesn't believe in James', Henri's and Moses' ideas that the King shouldn't be in charge. Sarah tries to write to her mother every day about her adventures in America with James and Henri and is very proud of her father's work scouting the Ohio Territory.
Sarah Phillips is a fifteen year-old British girl who comes to America in 1773 on the Dartmouth the night of the Boston Tea Party. She is kind and a good friend but is very opinionated and a bit snobby, especially towards James, when it comes to the supremacy of England. This tends to go away by the end of the series. When she first arrives in the colonies, she is loyal to the King and believes England can do nothing wrong. As time moves on, she grows to understand the colonists and their struggle for freedom. Her confusion on which side to chooses stays with her throughout the series, but she often helps the colonists while continuing to side with her Loyalist parents. By the end of the series, she sides with the colonists. She teases James and Henri and scolds them often for not behaving politely, and it is stated that she can write well and spell much better than James. She writes a few articles for the Pennsylvania Gazette. In the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Sarah's older cousin Tom is shot and dies. It is assumed that she comes from a noble family, as her mother has the title of "Lady" and her father, a Major in the British Army, is a personal friend of the King (King George the III).
James Hiller: James was the first person Sarah met when she arrived in America when he attempted to rescue her from the Dartmouth during the Boston Tea Party. Sarah had at first hit him over the head, thinking he was an Indian, and the two argued before James learned who Sarah was. Sarah and James often argue about their different political views, James being a patriot and Sarah a loyalist. James' tendency to record events only from the colonists' point of view is the reason that Sarah becomes a journalist, writing from a British perspective for the Pennsylvania Gazette. She often teases James about his poor spelling, grammar and impolite ways, but they continue to be good friends to each other and speak to each other about how they miss their parents. James uses the gold from his mother's ring to create a replacement locket from Sarah after she loses her locket from her father.
In the beginning of the series, Sarah can not stand James, often criticizing his poor manners and grammar. However, over the course of the series, Sarah becomes a close friend to James, and it is hinted that the pair share romantic feelings for one another.
Henri: Sarah only wants what's best for Henri, and she cares for him in the manner of a mother or an older sister. Henri often goes to James for advice on childish things, but he knows that Sarah offers the responsible advice. Sarah feels sorry that he is an orphan and comforts him on this. Like Moses she wants him to learn to read and write, and scolds him on manners as she does with James. Although Henri is a patriot he is less polarizing about his views then James and so he and Sarah get along better in day-to-day life.
Moses: Sarah looks to Moses for guidance, and thinks of him as a kind, responsible adult. She respects him for being a slave, then overcoming it, as she is vehemently against slavery. As Dr. Franklin is often overseas he is her and the boys' main caretaker.
Benjamin Franklin: Sarah looks up to Franklin as a respectable man and appreciates him taking her in. It is through her mother that Sarah came to stay with Dr. Franklin, as her mother is old friends with him.

Restaurant Revisited: Oleander Bar & Grill
by Maria Russo in Shows, October 17th, 2012
For Kelli Truman and Abby Grabow, owners of Oleander Bar & Grill in Olean, N.Y., Robert Irvine's visit to their restaurant was a much-needed effort to save the business they opened just six months earlier. This mother-daughter duo needed Robert's help to transform the dark dining room into a comfortable space, rethink their tired menu and improve their strained relationship if Oleander were to have any chance at lasting success. We checked in with Abby a few months after Oleander's Restaurant: Impossible overhaul to see how the business has been doing since Robert left.
In the first two weeks after the renovation, Oleander saw sales increase nearly 50 percent.
The restaurant's updated decor has been well received by diners who "love the fresh, clean, modern look of the design," Abby says. She also notes that "the serious burger, shrimp tempura and crab bisque are the best-selling items that Robert added" to Oleander's revamped menu.
Though Jaye no longer works at the restaurant, Abby says that "the staff that remains is very loyal and everyone has been working together to rebuild business."
Looking back on the transformation, Abby admits that "the food costing lesson was perhaps the most beneficial part of this entire experience." Since Robert left, she has been following "the new inventory system to sell off the majority of the excess bar inventory."
Abby believes that being on Restaurant: Impossible has helped improve her relationship with her mom, Kelli, who has accepted additional responsibilities at Oleander. "The show taught us that communication is everything," Abby says, "and that even if the restaurant closed, we are family forever." She tells us that they are now "are much more effective at compromising and finding a middle ground."

Gordon Ramsay is obsessed with the F word, and listening to him makes my food taste bad.
You do realize it is a play on of the city that restaurant resides in right??
vimila you might want to take your irrational thinking to a place that cares. This is just a name. If you think the name might in some fashion infiltrate your eco sense of matter just do the owner an favor and stay away. Now, how about the program?
Hey Vimala, if you don't like the name of the restaurant, then don't go. SImple.
is Jaye the bartender or cook?
He WAS the bartender.
I missed how Robert made the pork chops, saw only the finished dish. Anyone jot down the recipe?
The recipe is on foodnetwork's website. Just type in oleander bar.
To bad when they made the changes the name of the rest. was not part of it.I hope it works out for the Mom .
Watched the show today, read the comments made by folks who have gone by since the show.. Sad to see that folks seems so determined to make a place go on tv ,then dont care about their food after is over. Something doesnt add up.. The cook can either make or break a resturant.. If the food is good ,, people will come from miles to eat ,even if its a small place, Even if you have to wait a little too long for it, if the food is good its worth the wait,, The good food draws folks back again…and again..
I wondered the exact same thing about the name while Robert's designer was saying what a pretty flower it is. Pretty? Yes, but deadly poisonous. Strange choice for a restaurant name. Just my opinion of course.
So you obviously didn't realize that the restaurant is located in OLEAN, NY. I bet they were incorporating the name of the town with the name of the restaurant. The locals get it and that is all that matters!
Yes"think about it" they don't need out of towners cluttering up there parking lot….. Think about it.
Thanks for posting this-I really didn't want to waste my breath!!

Unpregnant Toppenish student gets 3.86 grade
In the final step of her senior project, Gaby Rodriguez - the teen who recently made national and international news for faking a pregnancy - presented her experience Thursday to a committee of community members.
Yakima Herald-Republic
In the final step of her senior project, Gaby Rodriguez - the teen who recently made national and international news for faking a pregnancy - presented her experience Thursday to a committee of community members.
And they gave her high marks and handshakes.
"I was impressed with her professionalism, how she poised herself up there. She seemed to be very confident and calm," said Barb Moses, the instructional technology coordinator for the Toppenish School District and one of the six people who scored Gaby's project. "I just have no doubt she's going to take this experience with her and do great things with it. She's going to be a lighthouse."
Like the other 140 Toppenish High School seniors participating in this year's senior boards, Gaby was judged in six categories: research, project, organization, delivery, professionalism and visual element/technology.
Each category was worth four points. An average of 2.5 points was needed to pass. Gaby's average was 3.861.
Gaby didn't speak to reporters Thursday, part of an agreement with Mercer Island-based literary agent Sharlene Martin. She did, however, interact with the board.
"I felt very comfortable with the material," she said after her presentation. "I felt I did pretty well."
So did board members.
"I think she projected well and spoke well," said Toppenish business owner Carrie Storey. "The teachers here do a really good job of preparing students for these presentations. She's a perfect example of what the kids do."
There was a personal connection to the senior project, even before it got going: Gaby's mother and two of her sisters were teen moms.
"I wanted to be a voice for those unheard," Gaby told the board.
She described how she attended birthing classes "to see different mothers at different stages" of pregnancy. "In the first couple of months, I knew I had to be nauseous, and I had to pee a lot."
She also said there were many moments when she wanted to give up and end the charade. Only a handful of people - including her mother, 52-year-old Juana Rodriguez, and her boyfriend, 20-year-old Jorge Orozco - knew she was pretending.
Her teachers and fellow students, except for her best friend, didn't know they were part of a social experiment. Neither did six of her seven siblings, her boyfriend's parents and his five younger brothers and sisters.
"I was emotional because I knew I was lying to them. ... But for them, they thought I was emotional because I was pregnant," Gaby said.
Her presentation, which lasted about 10 minutes, took place after school in the library. It was the last of this year's senior project presentations.
Of course, board members - and much of the country - had already heard about her experiment.
In a school assembly April 20, the 17-year-old senior took off her faux baby bump to reveal she had been faking the pregnancy for six and a half months.
The next day's story and photos in the Herald-Republic were picked up by the Associated Press, and reaction poured in from around the world.
Within a week, representatives from ABC, NBC and CBS were vying for the chance to interview her.
One TV reporter even tried tracking her down during a field trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival during her first weekend without her faux baby belly since spring break.
Gaby told people she became pregnant at homecoming. Her supposed due date was July 27.
From her experience, she told the board she learned "how important it is for you to take care of yourself and your life before you can take care of someone else."
She also said it strengthened her relationship with her boyfriend.
He appeared with Gaby live on NBC's "Today" show May 10, along with her mother and principal Trevor Greene, who was in on the secret.
She initially planned to appear on ABC but backed out of that agreement, opting for NBC, which, according to Martin, her agent, offered Gaby a scholarship. Martin didn't say how much it was worth.
Early on, Greene served as Gaby's media liaison. She's now represented by Martin and Seattle attorney Anne Bremner.
Martin asked Greene not to allow media, other than the videographer hired on Gaby's behalf, to view Thursday's presentation, which was attended by the Herald-Republic and the Review Independent newspaper.
A book deal with a New York-based ghostwriter is in the works, Martin said, as is a movie deal with the Lifetime Movie Network.
Gaby had been planning to attend Columbia Basin College in the fall. Now, she's looking into Central Washington University and Pacific Lutheran University. She wants to study social work and has a particular interest in foster care.
"I know that I was able to inspire so many people," Gaby said. "It's definitely an experience I will take with me for the rest of my life. I'm definitely taking advantage of all the opportunities that have opened up for me."

Fantastic production, fizzing with ideas, flirting with our expectation of this play. So often English productions are marred by twee images of characters wandering around Arden Forest with flowers in their hair, bemoaning their fate or falling in love: the Georgians aren't ashamed to be provacatively theatrical, and heavily ironic in their use of music, which blasts away any bubbles of pretension, yet (counter-intuitively) allows the audience to properly appreciate the romance and the melancholy of this wierd play. Don't worry about the language, the meaning is clear as a bell

Could you mean a Moses in the Cradle plant, whose botanical name is Rhoeo? Try a search for that & see if the pix match what you have, then you'll get an idea of its care. |

Hi I have a moses in the cradle or it is also called moses in the boat and you are right it is a Rhoeo, one is dark green with purple under leaves and the other is a light green and white stripes. both have flowers,that are low on the stem, and the flower looks like a boat/cradle with a little person in it....I keep mine in a south window and I get the dark colors and I water it when it drys out a bit...linda |

Linda, when its flowers fade, hundreds of little, black seeds develope. Let them drop. Instead of one Moses/Rhoeo, you'll have many. You can sow seeds if you're into sowing. There's a few Rhoeo varieties..your light green with white stripe is either Rhoeo variegata or, Oyster Plant. (don't remember its species name) Oysters, for some reason, are more finicky than purple, green, purple and green or purple and silver, types. Have you noticed? Ann, Moses in the Cradle/Boat love humidity..humidity and bright light. |

Can't we pls. wait 'til we hear back if this is the right plant before some folks start giving instructions? What's the big hurry here to instruct on what MAY be the wrong plant? |

Yes My friend said she believes that is the name that she was told and she said that her flowers look like boats. So she is going to give me a cutting so that I can one too. Humidty may be a problem since I am in the high desert but I will give it my best shot. I am usually doing African Violets so this will be a change. Thanks for all your input and helping me know the correct name. Ann |

You know what I love? Whenever we comment on the dubstep scene, from tracks that make us "miss" the scene, or ways that America failed the scene, or even rappers that we'd love to hear spitting on dubstep, people get SO UP IN ARMS! And I get it; if there's something that you loved dearly, and you feel it's been (or being) mistreated, you want to get on the horn and stand up for it, or express your thoughts on why someone would be wrong about it. The flipside is that whenever fierce dubstep DOES drop, stuff that stays true to the scene, how many heads are jumping up to support?
Yeah, that's what I thought; radio-fucking-silence.
With all of that said, Kinzy quietly released a free EP, Identify Yourself, earlier this week. Similar to his "Christmas Day" free release, or "Kill A Soundboy," dude's in the pocket with these bangers, and cuts like "Lord Zedd" highlight how well he works within the 140 tempo. Linking up with Soloman, "Lord Zedd" is a lurching, hypnotic slice of bass bliss, establishing a funky groove and keeping it locked. No ridiculous drops or anything; this is no nonsense dubstep. Screwface tunes. Chew on that, androids.

On Friday evening, October 25, the North Carolina Museum of Art had the immense pleasure of welcoming over 500 students to its third annual College Night. The schools participating included Appalachian State, Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham, Barton, Davidson, Duke, Elon, East Carolina, Fayetteville State, Johnston Community College, Liberty, Meredith, Mount Olive, N.C. Central, St. Augustine's, Salem, Shaw, SCAD, UNC–Chapel Hill, UNC–Asheville, University of South Carolina, and Wake Technical Community College.
Inspired by Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed, the NCMA's College Advisory Council worked for over six months to plan programs exploring the concept and medium of speed through art, video, and performance art. College Night 2013 celebrated the college exhibition Accelerate!, which includes work by students from colleges and university programs around the world. Buses and vans from across the state brought students to enjoy the free fry bar, blacklight photo booth, and special exhibitions while listening to a DJ set by SPCLGST and seeing performances by East Carolina University, Johnston Community College, North Carolina Central University, and N.C. State University.
Because many college students are immersed in digital technology, we experimented with social media to engage visitor response in real time. Students used #fastART when tweeting or posting photographs before and during the event. These are collected through Storify, so you can see the event unfold through the eyes of the participants.
Thanks to each guest who attended this wonderful evening. We look forward to many more college events. In the meantime, enjoy these images from College Night 2013.

Book City: How Erik Larson picks his subjects
(Page 2 of 4)
Can you talk a bit about how your reading informs your writing? Have any of your books been sparked by something you've read?
As a matter of fact, yes — "Beasts." I was sitting around my office one day, in the midst of the search for an idea, and I was feeling particularly frustrated and useless. So I decided to go to a bookstore and just wander the history section to see what was new, and see what kinds of books and book jackets got me interested, what bored me to tears. And there, face out on a shelf, was William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," which I'd never read. Purely on a whim, I bought it and took it home. I loved it. I was a third of the way through when I had a miniature epiphany. I realized that Shirer had actually been there in Germany during Hitler's rise and had met all those awful people face to face — but at a time when no one knew how things would turn out. And suddenly I found myself trying to imagine what that would have been like, to have lived in Berlin as Hitler consolidated his power, but without knowing that another World War and the Holocaust were just over the horizon. What would I have thought, felt, seen? So, I started looking for characters through whose lives I could experience that time. Totally by chance I found Ambassador William E. Dodd, and, soon afterward I came across a memoir by his wild daughter, Martha. I realized very quickly that they were going to be my guides to Hitler's Germany.
Which of the books you've written is your favorite?
Which of my children is my favorite?
You've mostly talked about novels ... have you written one? Any fictive ambitions?
I've written several complete but unpublished novels, and all now reside on a shelf in my closet, which is the best place for them, believe me. Two were under contract to be published, but I ended up pulling both back. With the nonfiction career ticking along, I just couldn't bear publishing a mediocre novel. There are enough of those out there as it is. I gained a lot by writing them, however. In the process I learned a lot about the tactics of fiction, like foreshadowing and withholding, which are equally useful whether you're writing fact or fiction. I have to emphasize here that I'm not talking about making things up, but rather about the tools that fiction writers use to move their stories along. Will I ever try a novel again? Possibly. But right now I'm finding what I do very satisfying, in a way that writing fiction never was.
What were your most cherished childhood books?
I read a lot of Nancy Drew, and a lot of Tom Swift, but pretty early on I also started venturing into things like "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," and the detective novels of Agatha Christie and Ross McDonald. I also loved the spy novels of Helen MacInnes, and of course, all of Sherlock Holmes, especially "The Hound of the Baskervilles." And I adored scary short stories, like the kind that appeared in annual collections ostensibly picked and edited by Alfred Hitchcock or Rod Serling. One particularly memorable story was Daphne du Maurier's "The Birds," which of course was the inspiration for the Hitchcock movie.
Can you recall a specific book or author that inspired you to become an author?
Can you think of a particularly powerful passage from a book that's stuck with you? That you return to?
Absolutely. "The Maltese Falcon": Sam Spade's closing monologue to Brigid O'Shaugnessy, just before he turns her over to the police.

Posted Thu, Jan 31, 10:57 a.m.
Val, a sparkling interview. As usual, reading another story in your Book City series, I'm scribbling titles to buy and read or give away. Thank you!
Posted Thu, Apr 17, 6:36 p.m.
The Larson book nobody seems to mention is Issac's storm. It is a masterpiece. And a book I have often recommended to others who found they were as entranced as I. Unfortunately, for your readers, Issac's Storm is usually located under meteorology or some other equally obscure section of bookstore and library shelves. You have to look for it, but the book is worth search.
To Mr. Larson, who may or not read these postings, the dramatic balance you find in combining pieces of history, and eclectic science with natural or man-made disasters absolutely amazes me. Thanks to Issac, I fully experienced the Galveston hurricane of 1900, and have learned enough to speak intelligently about the history of meteorology.
If I had one wish, it would be to spend an hour or two inside your head so I could actually witness the thought processes necessary for turning that boring stuff we learned in high school into riveting, "edge of your seat" reading. Thanks for proving to the disbelievers that history does have a respected place in great literature.

I'm sorry your Dad and MIL can't be there, but you're right to feel blessed they are still with you. Like you, I miss my Mom terribly during the holidays. She loved them. This will be my 10th yr without her, which is hard to believe. Even tho I'm 63, I guess I'll never stop missing my Mom. hugs and Happy Thanksgiving, |

Looks just like home to me since my dad has had that set for ages. We use it at every holiday and it is beautiful. I have my mom's china too. One of these days I will use it. I don't remember her using it much. |

Thank you all for your kind words and sweet sentiments. I just returned from visiting Dad, where I recapped the entire day for him and left him with 2 slices of pie made by his granddaughters. We had a few laughs about my putting the Evesham dinnerware in the DW vs. handwashing. He's in total agreement that it's to be used, enjoyed and put in the DW! |
What a beautiful table, and you make the food sound so good. Such a classic set of dishes, they will never go out of style, and you have daughters to pass Grandmother's dishes to. Very welcoming table. pat |

Local named finalist for Jif's Most Creative Sandwich CompetitionJan. 30, 2014 |
By Chris Maza
firstname.lastname@example.com EAST LONGMEADOW – Ever since her older sister Maria took part in Jif Peanut Butter's Most Creative Sandwich contest in 2010, Julia Boucher has been waiting eagerly for her opportunity to show off her own culinary skills. Now she has that chance. Eight-year-old Julia is one of 10 online finalists for the nationwide competition pitting kitchen creations made with Jif peanut butter with a trip to New York City for the final round and a chance for a $25,000 college fund on the line. "I was looking at scholarship opportunities years ago for her older brother and sister and we came across this," Julia's mother, Beth Marsian-Boucher, told Reminder Publications. "We experienced it when her older sister got to the online portion and got to go to New York City. Julia was so impressed with that whole experience, she thought about it for years and when she was old enough to try out, she started." It was a creative process that took some time, Julia said. Trial runs with sandwich creations ranged from jalapeños to turkey, her mother added. That process was something Julia said she particularly enjoyed. After all, trying out new things in the kitchen is more than just a hobby for her. "I would like to be a chef when I grow up," she said. Eventually Julia developed the Peanutty French Toast Roll-Up, a sandwich complete with peanut butter, apricot jam, apples and cinnamon and cooked with an outer layer of French toast. A dipping sauce topping of maple syrup and peanut butter accompanies it. "I like French toast and I like roll-ups, so I just thought maybe I could put them together," Julia said. The Boucher family found out a couple of months ago that Julia was an online finalist and representatives from the company came out to meet her, shoot a video and make other preparations for the online portion of the contest. "You have to keep it a secret for about a month, which isn't easy," her mother said. With the online component now active, Julia is looking for people to vote for her sandwich by logging onto www.jif.com/promotions/most-creative-peanut-butter. A link to the recipe for the sandwich is available online as well. A video on how to make the sandwich is also available on the Reminder Publications Facebook page, www.facebook.com/ReminderPublications. "The top 5 people get to go to New York," Julia explained. Those five finalists will spend a week in March in New York City. "They show the kids a good time," Beth said. "They'll do some TV shows and some radio spots." The weeklong trip is culminated by the final event on of March 21 at which a winner will be chosen. In addition to the $25,000 grand prize, the other four finalists will receive $2,500 college funds. |

"Count Logan"
I bought this makeup to go with a vampire costume that I ordered. Although the costume was a complete disaster, this make-up saved the day. The white cream makeup was super to lighten the skin just enough to look pale. I took some of the black cream makeup and smudged it under the eyes, used the red makeup and the included brush to give the appearance of blood running down the mouth. The white hair cream was the greatest. Took a second for me to figure out the best way to use it, but after I finally decided to put some in the palm of my hand and just lightly rub it over my son's hair, it gave the appearance of the perfect gray look. Would highly recommend this makeup set for anyone!!! Great value for some great makeup!!!

Worst Costume Ever
November 2, 2010
When the costume arrived in the mail, it was great. The lights worked wonderful and I was sure it was going to be a hit this halloween. The costume was very wrinkled when we took it out of the package. I threw the cape and pants in the dryer. The shirt/vest couldn't be thrown in the dryer due to the fiber optic lights on the vest. So, I turned my iron on the lowest setting, and placed a double folded pillow case over the top of the shirt before pressing. It was the most difficult thing I have ever tried to iron, and....while trying to iron the collar of the shirt, there was some type of glue substance on the back of the collar (I am assuming to make it stiff??) Well with just a very little heat, iron still on low and a doubled pillow case over the shirt, that glue melted around the collar and it stuck together in all of the wrong places. It looked like a mess!! The seams were out in the back of the cape, that I had to sew together. The shirt ripped while my son was slipping it over his head, and as a last minute fix, I had to take scotch tape and tape the shirt back to the vest where it had ripped about a 4 inch seam in the shirt. There were so many last minute repairs, that we were late going out for trick or treating, and my son had less than an hour to go around the nieghborhood before the deadline occured for trick-or-treating. We should have had 3 1/2 hours, but thanks to this very cheaply made costume, we had less than 1 hour to go out trick or treating. And, last but certainly not least, the minute we walked out the door, wouldn't you know that the lights stopped working. That was the part that excited him the most, and he never got to show one person how his vest lit up, because......it didn't work either. That is why my son picked out this costume, because he wanted something that would light up, that would stand out, and be different. The entire reason he opted for this vampire costume was the fiber optic lights on the vest, and he was so upset, and I just felt like crying when he pushed the button and the lights wouldn't come on. It was very irritating to have so many things go wrong with one costume that was brand new!! I am a single mother trying to make enough money just to pay our bills, and it was really a stretch for us to pay the $40 for this costume. I had to use my bill money to pay for this costume that didn't last long enough for him to put it on, much less to wear it out. This was the worst experience I have ever had with an order from your company. This was a defective costume, that ended up costing me over $40 by the time I paid shipping and handling charges. Speaking of shipping and handling charges, I paid extra for the 3 day expedited shipping, which only took 6 days to arrive, I can't imagine how long it would have taken if I hadn't paid for expedited shipping, we would have missed halloween all together. I have been a devout customer in the past, but if this is any indication of how cheaply you are "throwing" together your costumes now....then I will NOT be ordering from you again. I will also be telling all of my friends how horrible this costume turned out. I would have returned it, but after paying for expedited shipping, it didn't arrive until the day before halloween, so there wasn't time to return it for an exchange, very disappointed!!! What a waste!!! Think twice before you order this costume!!!

End of an Era: ex-Premier Peter Lougheed Dies
Peter Lougheed (1928-2012) died on September 13th. After decades of service to the public, heart problems and, coupled with pneumonia, he died at the Peter Lougheed hospital. His family has reported to the Calgary Sun that they're being overwhelmed by well-wishers and those sorry for their loss.
- Don Braid of the Edmonton Journal writes a fantastic article on Lougheed's lasting place in confederation
- Liberal leader Raj Sherman, Wildrose leader Danielle Smith, and Allison Redford rally behind Lougheed's legacy
And it is a very large loss, both for his family and the people of Alberta.
What Peter Lougheed was, though his political career, was a politician that spent his efforts on being there for people. He spent his Friday mornings calling Albertans, from the highest industry-men to the average joe on the street, listening to them, their issues, and creating a space that brought their interests into government after a three decades of Social Credit dominance. He brought in close door meetings with people around the province to bring them into a listening government that eschewed partisan bias and thuggish politics. It was about doing the right thing.
His legacy is still with us today. He brought in reforms into the legislature that brought the public interest into public affairs: such as recording the daily activities of government and sharing that with Albertans. He brought in a wave of a urban and then modern perspective on politics, splitting again from the Social Credit party that often was dominated by rural Alberta. He focused on the sustainability of Alberta in the long term by establishing the Heritage Fund. A focus that has been dropped since Getty, Klein, Stelmach, and now Redford, as the fund's real value (after inflation) has barely moved since his initial investments in that fund.
Mr. Lougheed's legacy has been far reaching. He established a party dynasty that is on the road to being the longest lasting rule in Canada — likely to be eclipsing the Nova Scotia Liberals with a smashing 46 years. To put that in perspective that is only a shy bit shorter than Castro and puts the Alberta Tories on the pedestal as the longest lasting democratic dynasty in North America.
Even though part of his legacy has become myth as a public servant he has remained grounded and connected to the people around him. He has built a legacy to last and has earned the respect of Albertans everywhere.
Mr. Lougheed is survived by his wife, Jeanne, four children, and seven grandchildren.
Peter Lougheed Reflects On His Political Career with Allen Gregg
