There are some things that root well during the ugly days of winter that I so enjoy doing. I'd like to expand my tree and shrub collection if you have something to share. In exchange for the cuttings I could send some rooted ones back to you, or, I could send you any of the myriad of plants I propagate (see my trade list) or, for other stuff I have but don't put on my trade list. If you're going to prune them anyway, this would be a good deal for you!

Hi Nance! I'd love some of your Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' Fire Twig Dogwood and Rosemary Arp (mine has recently died). We've traded a lot so not sure what you have of mine (I think we have sedum covered, lol), but I should have some rooted cuttings of Punctatum by spring. I started them last fall after a visit to my sis in the mountains. It's a native species of Rhododendron. Looks like cotton candy when it blooms out. If that doesn't work out I have spirea 'Bridal Wreath' or s. Van Houtte (not sure I can root that one). I'll keep looking to see what else I can do in case none of those work. |
I could send cuttings of Viburnum bracteatum 'Emerald Luster' and possibly some of Viburnum x pragense(it's evergreen with lots of new growth and needs some pruning). I'd love a 'Contraband Girl' iris. |
rootdigger - sent you an email - we did have the Sedums covered though I have 4 new ones you may not have yet. shari1332 - Have a quite large fan of 'Contraband Girl' for your Viburnums - I'd be happy to have all your trimmings, the more the merrier. Send me an email off line and your ship to address. Nancy the nancedar |
Nancy, I can get wiegela cuttings - I have tried and had no luck in rooting them. I will gladly send a few if you can tell me how to successfully root them. :) Rosemary |
rosebush - Ohhh goody! Another fun thing to try this winter. I'd love to try rooting them. I'll tell you how to root them if I get them to root since I'll be using various methods and they all may not work. I'll send you my address in a private email. Nancy the nancedar |

Hi Nancy I have plenty of Baby Holly here. If you want some let me know. Debbie |
Nancy, I have Little gem magnolia, variegated weigela, michael dodge viburnum and pyracantha. I can send you cuttings of any or all of them. I am interested in your starts of vitex tree and cotoneaster and firetwig dogwood cuttings. I am always looking for plants with berries that attract birds if you have cuttings from any thing of that nature. Ginger |
ggwrn - I have been looking for V.'Michael Dodge' for a longggg time - I'll take anything you want to prune as these are purported to be be stubborn to root - only need 4 to 6 inch lengths. I may be a crazy person but I have the room and really do like Pyracantha so put on the heavy leather gloves and send me any and all pieces you can spare. I've never tried the Magnolia - think they are from propagated by seed or grafting? If it won't hurt your tree, I'd love to give it a go. Member rosebush is going to send me some variegated weigela but if you have to prune, I'm game for more. I don't have cuttings of Vitex but I do have lots of babies so I could send a one gallon bare root; Cotoneaster is better done with cuttings in spring but I have a few rooted to send; and 'Midwinter Fire' Cornus dogwood cuttings I can send - they are gorgeous right now,plus I could send a rooted sucker if you like. For your bird feeding I'll have some American and Japanese Callicarpa (Beauty Berry)rooted in mid-spring which they eat last because that is all there is for them in late winter, BUT we get to enjoy the neon purple berries until then. Send me a personal email to exchange addresses. flower_power_nc - Are these native baby Hollies? I have prickly ones in the woods but if these are different, I'll be happy to trade so private email me and tell me what you'd like from my trade list or on your wish list. Nancy the nancedar |
Nancy, I sent you an email, let me know if you did not get it. Ginger |
Nancy, Your weigela cuttings are on their way. Good luck! rosebush |
Thank you rosebush, ggwrn, shari1332 for the trades - I am sooo happy and hope you like the goodies I sent, hope they all do well for you, and hope we can trade again! And, rootdigger and I decided we had too much to mail so we'll meet halfway to the 100 miles we live from each other. What fun is that? I'll just call it a personal swap with a side of lunch. Nancy the nancedar |
Nancy, THANK YOU!!! I LOVE all the goodies you sent! Hope your package arrived today as well. Rosemary |
hi nancy! I don't really have anything on your wish list except some dumb ol' holly. Its yours if you want it. I did get some tropical hibiscus to root, if your interested in another pot to bring in in the winter. I just wanted to say hi. |
I love all my goodies too! Thanks so much, |
Nancy, I am very excited about the goodies that you sent me. Thank you! I mailed your package yesterday. I guess since the mail doesn't run Mon. that you will probably get it on Tuesday. Let me know. Ginger |
Nancy, sent you an email. Let me know if you didn't receive it. Shannon/Dirtrx |

We've had great luck at our nursery in Seneca, SC using a product called dip & grow, mixed with black strap molasses. |
Hi Nancy, I will be at The Factory this weekend. DD has a soccer game at 12 pm on Saturday. If this works for you I can bring the cuttings with me. The game runs about 45 minutes so if you want to meet after the game we can. Sorry to post here but I don't think my last email went through. I am getting your emails though. (Not worried about a trade) Shannon/Dirtrx |
To be on the safe side of emailing: I will see you on Saturday @ 12:45, north side- across from the elementary school. Shannon |
Nancy, I have lots of baby Mahonia growing at the base of my Mahonias. I potted several last fall, but it is too cold to investigate how they are doing. Or I could dig up some and send them. I would love anything for shade and native - Tiarella or even Epimedium. Thanks so much. Nancy in Statesville |

This is a nice highlighter; however I think the applicator is faulty. Its unsanitary and is shaped like a nail polish bottle. There are much better options on the market. I hope to try the Buxom highlighter next. I will not purchase.
So many Beams to choose from now - Moon, Sun and High. High Beam is my winner as it actually shows up as a beautiful high lighter on my NC15 skin - where as Moon Beam is more of a light apricot and seems to blend invisibly into my yellowy under toned complexion.
I have never tried this under foundation but think it would all but just disappear. Over blush I find it does not blend that well and have experimented with various small foundation, stipple and fluffy brushes and fingers.
The best way I have found to use this is for those days I do not want a really obvious "bam" highlight look, I dot about 3 spots on top of my cheekbones blend with a small brush, wait to dry/set then pop blush over top - it gives the blush a really pretty glow and with a decent blush does last all day. I really like the effect I get using it like this but would not repurchase as these small bottles literally last forever.

This review is more a reminder to myself about why never to fall for the packaging and buy it a third time:
Note to self: remember you do not like liquid highlighters in the first place! They mess up your foundation.
It applies unevenly.
The highlighting looks like the iridescent red/pink hues of motor oil on top of a rain puddle.

I love, love, love Benefit's Moon Beam - it adds a gorgeous glow wherever I place it on my face, and doesn't have obscene shimmer. The apricot color works on my NC42 skin so much better than High Beam, which looks garish on me.
I'm YEARS into a full-size bottle that I use once or twice a week, and it hasn't turned or gone bad. I only wish it came in smaller sizes outside of Benefit's value sets so I wouldn't have to worry about that, though :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Yes, yes, we all love Moonbeam. But check out Benefit's Sunbeam! I think it's seriously underrated. Go look it up. Though to be honest you can't go wrong with either product. Everything I give Sunbeam love for in my review I'd apply to Moonbeam as well. Just so long as we get everyone off the High beam hype...it's about time!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am surprised by how much I love this product. Out of all of the benefit highlighters this is my favourite. It looks great on my very fair skin. It is super easy to blend and it is easy to travel with. It gives y8ur face that finished look :-)
It's fine but not really good. Also you can't really see much different when you use it. Considering the price to the value I will not recommend it and will not buy it again.
I bought Moon Beam to use as a highlighter over foundation, but although I really love the color, it is really subtle that way. It gives a nice glow when mixed with foundation, but I wouldn't repurchase only for this purpose. I'd prefer a highlighter which can be used both ways.
More reviews by Mollieismehehe
This stuff is okay. It does give a pretty glow, but it is just annoying to apply and blend. I like it better than highbeam though. I like it, but I never really wear it. There are better highlighters out there for the price.

The Diplomat should be like the Warlord so the user pays the build cost to take a building. However, instead of the building being destoyed, it arrives in the Diplomat city. The buildings that are 6/8 then become targets as well as as the Dark City building worth extra points due to cards under it. For these buildings, the Diplomat gets extra victory point value while also depriving the owner of the building. A suggested alternative is to make the exchange cost of the building the VP value not the building cost. In either case, the Diplomat should target purple buildings!
Diplomat character unfair?

I think the Diplomat as printed works just fine, although your modification is certainly interesting.
Posted 27 March 2009 - 05:51 AM
Building cost and VP are the same on, what, over 90% of the buildings? If you're worried the diplomat will take your dragon's den then don't play it till the end.

Heh. Half of the star cards are unfair...thats what makes them interesting to mix in.

I moved a Honeysuckle 'Mandarin Orange' from too much shade into a more sunny location. It managed the move nicely and has a few blossoms on it ready to open. Since it was growing in the shade for the past 3 years without blooming, I'm happy about that, but the bottom of the vine is bare and leggy. I'm considering cutting the vine back to the ground after it blooms to encourage new growth from the base and eliminate the leggy appearance. Does anyone have any experience with that? I don't want to kill my vine, or wait another 3 years for it to bloom. I'm also wondering if cutting it all the way back to the ground is the only way to get rid of the bare bottom branches? If I prune it back to lower green growth, it's not going to cause new growth on the lower bare branches next year, is it? |

It makes no difference whether my line is in a knot or in the water; I'm getting no nibbles. It's early in the season, and the water is still too cold for trout to think seriously of feeding. I don't really care—for me fishing is just an excuse to sit around in a beautiful place and listen to the sound of running water.
The lazy flow of the Snake is peaceful compared to the Middle Fork of the Salmon. We drift along, stones passing eight inches under our keel. A few miles down we enter a canyon, and for the next 14 miles we drift through a dramatic and otherwise inaccessible landscape. On both sides, eroded layers of lava, remnants of past cataclysms, stand at the top of steep green slopes like battlements. The river, Darren tells me, is a favorite of Vice President Dick Cheney's, who visited just two weeks earlier. Apparently, when he comes there are sharpshooters posted for his protection along the canyon rim.
Finally I hook a couple of fighting rainbows, handsome fish with lurid purple streaks down their sides. As with sunsets, only nature could make something so garish yet so beautiful. Then I land a cutthroat, bearing the telltale slash of crimson at its gills. By the time we arrive at the haul-out at the end of the canyon, my total is two cutts, a whitefish, and a rainbow—one-tenth what a decent angler could do later in the summer.
I drive back toward Central Idaho on a road that passes along the trough of the Snake River Plain. This is potato country, bedded with the rich loam that has done so much to build wealth for the state.
Then the land becomes suddenly, disturbingly, dark. A smattering of black boulders amid the sage gives way to an endless rolling carpet of volcanic rubble. I've happened upon Craters of the Moon National Monument, a 75-square-mile landscape of lava and cinder. I pull over into the visitors' center, where an ever-looping audiovisual show explains how 15,000 years ago, a hot spot in the magma underneath Idaho blew out a massive caldera 30 miles across. The hot spot has been migrating eastward ever since, exploding again and again, punching a chain of giant holes in the Rockies. It's still down there. Its M.O. is to blow every 2,000 years—and the last time it did was 2,100 years ago. You do the math.
"Before the next eruption," the audio says, "is a great time to visit the Craters of the Moon!"
Thanks, Idaho, I think, as I head back to my car. I've had my fill of adventure for now.

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

After raising nearly $2 million in a month with presales of its augmented-reality motorcycle helmet, Skully gives fans another 30 days to decide if they want its pricey protection.
A crazy-accurate Darth Vader costume replica from Anovos will take your wallet to the Dark Side, but you'll look like you just stepped out of a "Star Wars" movie.
Due in 2015, Skully's motorcycle helmet, with a built-in virtual-reality display, won't come cheap. But it may save your life.
If you like your horse-themed toys with more skulls and less sunshine and rainbows, then you might want to enjoy "Four Horsies of the 'Pocalypse."
A British brain surgeon says cycle helmets are too flimsy and can actually create more danger by creating the illusion of greater safety.
What happens when artists get their hands on "Star Wars" Stormtrooper helmets? You get a geektastic terrarium, a fire hydrant, a winged hat, tribal headwear, and much more.
There were plenty of awesome electronic instruments played at Moogfest this year. From a calculator to an old Atari console, check out these creative entries in the festival's annual circuit-bending contest.
The Darth Vader toaster gets a significant upgrade with a helmet shape that sucks in your bread and returns it a little more evil than when it started.
For the last part of winter, Crave's Eric Mack went "head-on" with a UClear Bluetooth headset system to turn his ski helmet into a mobile command center on the mountain.
The Skully motorcycle helmet features a heads-up display and a rear-facing camera that let riders view their surroundings like never before. CNET's Sumi Das talks with CNET senior writer Seth Rosenblatt about what it was like to take a joy ride with the high-tech helmet.

State Attorneys General Support President in Efforts Against
Terrorism, Hate Crimes and Harassment
The Honorable George W. Bush |
President of the United States |
The White House |
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. |
Washington, D.C. 20500 |
Dear Mr. President: As members of the National Association of Attorneys General, we write first to wholeheartedly commend you for the strong leadership you have demonstrated during the past two weeks. Your words and actions have given comfort to the loved ones of those who were victims of the carnage on September 11th and confidence to all Americans that we can face this unfathomable tragedy together. We also write to express both the concern and support of this nation's state Attorneys General as we face the myriad of challenges from the events of September 11th.. Attorney General Ashcroft has established anti-terrorism units in the offices of every United States Attorney. General Ashcroft's actions were quick and decisive. State Attorneys General are ready, willing, and committed to working cooperatively with our federal counterparts as we seek to best coordinate state and federal law enforcement efforts regarding terrorist activities. We, as a nation, have seen scattered and isolated examples of misplaced anger and violence directed toward persons because of their ethnic, national, or religious backgrounds. Attorneys General are very appreciative of your ongoing efforts, and those of General Ashcroft, to remind Americans to respect our fellow citizens without regard to their ethnicity or religious beliefs . As do you, we believe it is important that Americans stand together and not allow the events of September 11th to divide us one against another. Mr. President, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and our national leaders as we face this crisis. We
are grateful for your certitude and resolve and pledge to assist our states and country in what lies ahead. Sincerely, [Letter signed by Attorneys General for fifty states, the District of Columbia, and four territories.] |

Communication a big goal of PTC assessment group
The needs assessment committee established by Peachtree City Mayor Don Haddix continued Thursday to make progress on laying the groundwork for its future activities.
One of the bigger goals established by the committee is to create an avenue to both share information with citizens and also solicit input from the community.
The committee is charged with considering all services provided by the city and recommending appropriate funding levels to continue providing those services.
Committee member Josh Bloom suggested it was important to provide fair information to the citizens so they will be able to make an informed decision on a variety of topics.
The group on Thursday adopted its mission statement: to "determine citizen priorities for city services and to recommend a millage rate in context of all city revenue using objective methods."
The committee will meet again next Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at City Hall with the hopes of getting a financial overview from city Finance Director Paul Salvatore. If Salvatore is not available for some reason the committee has contingency plans.
Talking about city revenue at Thursday's meeting, there was some discussion about focusing the group's efforts solely on the property tax (millage) rate. The overriding opinion, however, was that all other revenue should be under consideration including sales taxes, fines and service fees for tasks such as building inspections and the like.
The committee was appointed by Mayor Don Haddix at the urging of his fellow council members. Haddix has long contended that a review of city services has the possibility to create long-lasting budget cuts.
I would like to commend Josh Bloom and the other committee members for serving the Peachtree City Community.
I don't live in Peachtree City, but I have served on the citizens' Comprehensive Land Use Plan Committee and a citizens' committee for the County Transportation Plan. Both committees proved to be learning experiences for the citizens who participated. We learned a lot and we were able to contribute a valuable service.
Serving on any citizens' committee is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference in decisions affecting our communities.
Even though I don't live in PTC, I greatly appreciate the fact that Josh and his fellow committee members are taking the time and have the interest to serve.
Many thanks to Josh and all the other folks for their public service.
You gotta love it. The announcement of the formation of committee was made months ago. If you are all so interested and so sure you have all the answers why didnt you check into it then. O .......how bout being on the committee rather than ranting here, maybe (?) you could have had some valuable input instead of B .
"Months ago?" Are you as delusional as the Mayor? At least try and pay attention before you utter your nonsense.
no you check it out. announcement was made. the community input questionaires and committees have gone on for years. if you are just now catching up you would do well to get more involved.
I believe the questionnaires were stopped during the early stages of Dandy Dons reign of terror. He felt like the questions were written to sway the residents vote and he didnt have the intelligence to rewrite the questions himself, so he stopped the usage o these questionaires.
Had he kept up with them, or better, used our city website to poll people, this committee would not be necessary.
You said the committee was "announced months ago." It wasn't. Please try and pay a tiny bit of attention to what actually happens in PTC besides the whole town revolting against your idol Don.
Last weeks article listed the names of the people you chose to be on this committee. Can you provide specific qualities these people bring to the table?
Mr. Bloom suggested that the committee provide information to the citizens so that we can make informed decisions. Will your committee be providing this information? and if so, how will the citizens be able to make informed decisions? Special election? Survey?
What is your plan to solicit input from the community?
We are still in the early phases of setting up goals and objectives and haven't reached that point yet to answer your questions.
Come join us for our next meeting on Thursday, September 26th at City Hall. We would love to hear input from everyone.
the technology is there - you can solicit input via email and broadcast the meetings over the Internet.
We have discussed technology in disseminating information and gathering information, but it also leaves people out. I am sure technology will be used in one facet of information gathering, but more ways need to be enabled to capture ALL citizens of Peachtree City.
Not all people use the internet. But you are right, technology can and will probably be used.
There's a telephone conference call system you can use:
So, folks who can get to the meetings or can't otherwise use technology go.
Those that can't can watch on the Internet or call into the conference call.
What else do you need to "include" folks?
And what is there to talk about? Just do it, it's not that hard!
Who appointed the members? Donnie. Their goal? To come back with suggestions that line up with what Donnie wants. If the goal was to get true and unbiased recommendations, Donnie would have not been involved in appointing the members. Put the names of people interested in being on the committee in a hat and draw them out. A stacked committee if ever there was one. This whole exercise is a joke and a copout anyway. We elect our mayor and city council to make these decisions based on what they say they intend to do once elected. I'm all for citizen input but if they are going to govern by committee then we why do we need the politicos? Just have someone at city hall put together questionnaires and let the folks there run the govt based on the results of those questionnaires. It sure couldn't be any worse than the five clowns we have elected.
When you have a committee setup by one member of Council that has zero support from the others and goes out of his way to alienate them 24/7 and also makes sure to clarify that they have nothing to do with this committee as that's his sole purview, how does anyone expect this committee to have any sway over the rest of the council when it comes time to consider or enact their recommendations? I certainly don't envy this group and that have been setup with a Don Quixote-like task.
Someone like Josh Bloom who worships Steve Brown being the group mouthpiece is also a recipe for utter failure.
Come join us for the next meeting or future meetings. We would love to get your input. The next meeting is Thursday, September 27th at 11:30am in City Hall. We are going to try to mix the meeting between the daytime and evening time to accommodate as many peoples schedules as possible. Plus we are looking at weekdays AND weekends to capture those folks too.
For those of us who will be 1500 miles away during that next meeting, do you have an email address for suggestions/comments? Love to share some.
Include all the following addresses:
This will ensure all communications are distributed to all committee members and parties concerned, which is not a short list.
They can then also be included in minutes, etc, as appropriate.
If the suggestions and comments are applicable to anyone else, those persons will be included as well.
Being a board of volunteers, the administrative work is not intended to fall on them.
You can also visit the Needs Assessment Committee web page:
The link there will take you to Betsy Tyler, our Public Information Officer.
The list of contacts above is more comprehensive.
Actually, I believe one is set up (don't quote me on that yet). I will ask tomorrow and get back to you by Thursday afternoon.
Josh, as indicated in the prior post, the Committee webpage has been set up. I know it was only in work before.

Because he himself invented this over 10 years ago, this is in fact known as the Steve Brown Syndrome - occasionally right, always opposed, frequently despised. I realize many think that Haddix is the first to explore this area and should have the syndrome named for him, but that would not be fair to Steve who was first in by a long shot.
I remember Josh as well. Funny, but clueless kind of dude. High comedy coming to PTC on presentation night. Don't miss it.
I don't remember meeting you Mr. Morgan. Can you help with my memory.
Good luck with your committee. Glad you are embracing technology and staggering the ties for maximum public input. That is a smart idea.
Who was it that let our town clown escape adult daycare?
Councilmembers Dienhart, Fleisch and Imker opposed the Needs Assessment Committee.
It was most assuredly not formed at their urging.
well sir, maybe you don't even have friends there..?
You sure have sunk to a new low!
Please do us all a favor and resign your tenure as Mayor, and at least stay out of the blogs they are no place for a respectable public servant..that is what you would like to be right??
The Haddix person who happens to be our mayor has some work to do if he wants to drag himself up into Garth Brooks "low places"
More to the point, we have with us now - Clint Holmes "Playground in my mind" courtesy of mudcat and
Ron White who says you can't fix stupid. All so true.
I do think the mayor should resign - I know I would if everyone in the city despised me, but I doubt he will. Ego, methinks. Might be wrong, might be hubris. Might be wrong, might be dullness, which impairs rational thinking. Of course it could be something else and we can't talk about that, so life goes on. Obla di, Obli da, Life goes on.
You just confirmed that you are a petty little man.
The hole you are standing in will continue to get deeper.
How does your pithy comment here help Peachtree City? Think.....if you can.
I think the mayor needs a copy of the 1937 book "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. Mr. Mayor, try one of the PTC bookstores. You can expense this cost. I am sure everyone would agree.
When this old world gets me down
And there's no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find
I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
necessarily a bad thing. LOL
Like that lawyer on Ally McBeal - he had a Barry White tune that only he could hear when he was getting stressed. I think it would be good therapy for us to envision this tune bouncing around in the mayor's head when he's making some of his more bizarre proclamations - like the one above. Childish and insipid, even a little bit stupid with a hard to forget melody - what could be more appropriate? I think we should talk to one of the student groups about performing this song the next time they are forced to attend a city council meeting. One more thing that is unique about Peachtree City. I'll best some talented techie could get this song playing over the speaker system whenever the mayor started speaking.
Really now, what good does that chest ponding "I'm in charge" stuff do? Other people - including those that may locate their business to Peachtree City read this stuff as well.
Drunk or stupid? Drunk is much better because drunks eventually sober up. And with that in mind, being "Part-drunk" at meetings doesn't seem like such a big problem at all.
Drunk is better than stupid. As Ron White said, "You can't fix stupid."

Meet Kacy Catanzaro, who is not only a real-life ninja, but the first woman to qualify for the national finals round of "American Ninja Warrior," a series that challenges athletes/ninjas to attempt the toughest obstacle courses in the world. After killing it in the regional finals in Dallas (above), she's headed to Las Vegas for the show's national challenge, where she'll take on a four-stage obstacle course modeled after Mt. Midoriyama in Japan.
At only five-feet tall, Catanzaro, who is nicknamed "Mighty Kacy," tops her small size with sheer strength (as a fellow short girl I'm totally swooning). Beyond qualifying for finals, she's also the first female competitor to scale the "Warped Wall" obstacle on the series. The wall requires athletes to scale a 17-foot-high curved wall — a pretty epic challenge for someone less than a third as tall! Keep reading »

Neck x-ray
Neck x-ray
A neck x-ray is an imaging test to look at cervical vertebrae, the seven bones in the neck area.
Alternative Names
X-ray - neck; Cervical spine x-ray; Lateral neck x-ray
How the test is performed
This test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You will lie on the x-ray table. If the x-ray is being done to check for injury, care will be taken to prevent further injury.
The x-ray machine will be moved over your neck area. You will be asked to hold your breath while the picture is taken, so that the picture will not be blurry.
You will be asked to change positions so that more scans can be taken. Usually three to seven different views are needed.
How to prepare for the test
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant. Remove all jewelry.
How the test will feel
This test does not cause discomfort, but the table may be cold.
Why the test is performed
The x-ray is used to evaluate neck injuries and numbness, pain, or weakness that does not go away. A neck x-ray can also be used to help see if air passages are blocked by swelling in the neck or something stuck in the airway.
What abnormal results mean
The test can detect:
- Bone spurs
- Deformities in the spine
- Disk problems
- Dislocations
- Fractures
- Thinning of the bone (osteoporosis)
- Wearing away of the vertebrae
The test may also be performed for:
- Cervical spondylosis
- Croup syndrome
- Epiglottitis
- Foreign body aspiration
What the risks are
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of x-rays.
Special considerations
Other tests, such as MRI, may be used to look for disk or nerve problems.

If the other 500 versions of Monopoly start to bore you, try the Web Lovers Monopoly version. This concept game by 'Make Some Design' features all of the most popular websites known to man.
The gameplay is almost the same as the basic Monopoly except with a few variations. When passing GO, a player now collects 200 million dollars and jail has been replaced with 'Real World.' Also, the community chest cards have been replaced with Silicon Valley cards and free parking is now free wireless. While the board does include many popular websites, I'm not sure if they are ordered correctly. The most expensive property Boardwalk has been replaced with Yahoo while Facebook, Google, and YouTube come earlier on the board.
So if you feel like your family spends too much time on the computer, plan a family game night and play Web Lovers Monopoly.

No worries, SCOTUS, I feel you.
As a minority voter, if I want to protect my right to cast my ballot unhindered here in deeply red Deep South ………………….. I'll just incorporate.
"CORPORATION" people are people with voting rights worth protecting.
PEOPLE people…………meh, not so much.
Meet Representative Jodie Laubenberg, (R-Parker, Texas).
She's is a member of the Texas Public Health Commitee, and used to be its chairperson.
Jodie Thinks rape and incest victims should not be excluded from oppressive proposed new Texas abortion restrictions, because rape kits are like douches and you can't get pregnant if a doctor swabs you out for evidence.
That's what the fuck this asshat thinks.
Via Daily Kos :
The bill's sponsor stopped answering questions about her bill after the first two hours after she got into trouble denying Democratic amendments. When Rep. Senfronia Thompson, D-Houston, called for an exemption for women who were victims of rape and incest, Rep. Jody Laubenberg, R-Parker, explained why she felt it was unnecessary.
"In the emergency room they have what's called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out," she said, comparing the procedure to an abortion."The woman had five months to make that decision, at this point we are looking at a baby that is very far along in its development."
Her apparent confusion about "rape kits" — a phrase generally used to describe the equipment used by medical personnel during forensic examinations to gather physical evidence following allegations of rape or sexual assault — sparked widespread ridicule on social media sites. Laubenberg, who has difficulty debating bills, then simply rejected all proposed changes to her bill without speaking until the end of the debate.
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, can we PLEASE make it illegal for people who don't understand biology and reproduction to make any laws restricting or even regarding it????
For fuck's sake, this is what you get when you allow ignorant religious abstinence-only zealots to take over your party and your ideaology………..people who don't understand how sperm work once they are released from a man's testes and begin making that voyage up the vagina in search of that egg.
Jodie Laubenberg is what is wrong with America………..supreme, arrogant ignorance.
Because when I'm looking for someone to exemplify the sacred institution of marriage and all of its lofty ideals, I ALWAYS ask the guy who "bravely" wouldn't marry his Baby Momma.

Floating around the Book of Faces lately:
Fucking REALLY?????
As a woman, my most pressing issue is the (erroneous) price of groceries*.
NOT receiving fair pay for the same labor.
NOT the rising levels of domestic violence and the casual, pervasive acceptance of rape culture in our society.
NOT my children being able to attend schools that teach real-world, USEABLE and accurate information instead of simply teaching them how to score well on standardized tests, and then being able to go on to an affordable, rewarding college education afterwards.
NOT being able to afford basic healthcare for my family.
NOT be able to afford the kind of genetic testing for cancer that Angelina Jolie revealed she underwent, because my insurance does not cover it.
NOT having my biological functions treated with the same dignity and priority by my insurance company as my husband's are.
NOT being sure that my children will be treated the same under the law if they turn out to be gay as they would if they turn out to be heterosexual.
NOT being confident that my children will not face harassment, obstacles, and Jim Crow-like bullshit when they reach voting age because racially they look a little too "south of the border" for some people's tastes.
FOOD PRICES are my main concern, Mr. President, because I have a uterus, and that's "woman stuff".
Anyone who posts ANYTHING suggesting that anyone thinks women are mainly after free abortions and condoms needs a punch in the reproductive bits.
There are no "Obamabortions" any more than there are "Obamaphones", and to suggest that there are is lazy, stupid, sexist, partisan dumbassery of the highest level.
Do a little research before you post things.
Make sure your meme contains accurate information.
Just because it sounds good and confirms your own bias does not mean it speaks truth.
Don't let your party loyalty and dislike of the person currently in the White House allow you to look like a total fool.
And never, EVER try to defend women from perceived insults to their intelligence and concerns by COMPLETELY INSULTING THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND CONCERNS.
*Want a more realistic look? Go here and here and here, rather than a meme based off some crap blog post that doesn't offer anything other than "I say so, so it MUST be true….religious people NEVER lie or have an agenda!"
There's a cartoon making the internet rounds that compares Tim Tebow to Jason Collins.
There's a Tweet going around, too:
I get what they THINK they are trying to convey, but here's why it comes off as a whiny, self-indulgent false equivalence……….
I have seen where some players, media and fans have said that perhaps Tebow should back off with the proselytizing,and have even thought so myself, but I have never heard anyone say that he should be fired for expressing his faith, nor have I heard anyone say that they would refuse to share a locker room or quit a team over it, or infer that somehow Christians are an insult to the sport or to "manliness".
I have never heard anyone threaten a Christian player with physical harm simply because they are Christian.
I HAVE heard fans, players, and some media figures say that gay players should stay in the closet because they would not be welcome by teammates, fans, or management, and that their jobs would be in jeopardy if they admitted to being gay. I HAVE heard fans, players, and some media figures say they should stay in the closet because they would face physical danger on the field and off were they to be open about their homosexuality.
Just before the Super Bowl, San Francisco player Chris Culliver went on the record with the following statement regarding potential gay teammates:
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."
Thankfully, the team released a statement rebuking Culliver's statements:
"The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made , and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."
Culliver went on to apologize for his statement the following day, saying
"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."
Whether he meant it or was forced to make the apology is up for debate, but intended or not, Culliver put a very public voice on what has been whispered, if not shouted, for a very long time in professional male sports:
Keep that shit in the closet or you are done here.
Religion and sexuality have NO bearing on how well either man plays his sport, and they should have no bearing on whether either man stays employed or employable.
Tim Tebow may lose his job for sub-par performance, but he will never be legally fired for being Christian or heterosexual.
Jason Collins, and others who are still in the closet for all of these reasons, can not say the same.
By all means, Tebow fans, have and defend your opinions………………just be mindful that Christian privilege is everywhere, and saying two situations are equal does not make it is so.
Tebow is not Jesus, so don't place him on a cross.
Home-state embarrassment and congressional candidate Mark Sanford has, by virtue of his Argentinian Appalachian Trail Adventures, found himself as the rather clever (and, inconvenient for his campaign) crux of a new billboard from Columbia, SC-based dating service, Ashley Madison.

Last month, Lowell Observatory was the local host for the 8th SORCE Science Meeting, held in Sedona. SORCE (Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment) is a satellite launched in 2003 and operated by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado. It measures the total solar irradiance (the output of the Sun summed over all wavelengths), and the solar spectrum as well as other quantities relevant to the Sun's influence on climate.
The theme of this year's workshop was "Decadal Cycles in the Sun, Sun-like Stars, and Earth's Climate System." Jeff Hall and I have given brief reports about stellar variability at previous SORCE workshops, but this time an entire afternoon session was devoted to what we have learned from Sun-like stars pertinent to the question of solar variability. Lowell Observatory has been involved in this line of work since 1953. We have characterized the variability of Sun-like stars on decadal timescales using observations made by Brian Skiff from 1984 to 2000 at our historic 21-inch reflecting telescope on Mars Hill. Our results are published in a series of papers in The Astrophysical Journal beginning in 1997. Observations with robotic photometric telescopes at Fairborn Observatory in southern Arizona continue under the direction of Greg Henry at Tennessee State University.
Our long-time collaborator Richard Radick at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Sunspot, NM, gave the keynote address for the stellar session, His survey included Lowell work that Jeff Hall, Brian Skiff, Len Bright, and I continue to do using the solar-stellar spectrograph ("SSS") at the 42-inch telescope as well as photometric work at Lowell and Fairborn Observatory.
This year's SORCE workshop included a field trip via bus up through Oak Creek Canyon to Lowell Observatory where we hosted campus tours, a reception in the Rotunda, the customary science dinner, and telescope viewing at the Clark telescope. It was a privilege for the Observatory to offer prominent solar and climate scientists from all over the world a brief taste of what makes Lowell Observatory a special place in the history of twentieth century astronomy.

The property costs an estimated $1.15 million for 19.9 developed acres. Martin Ringstaff, city schools director, displayed a graph comparing properties at Georgetown Road, off North Lee Highway and a third undisclosed location.
Property owners of the North Lee plot asked $750,000 for 15 acres of undeveloped land. Additional costs included clearing and grubbing, earthwork and creating a detention pond. Estimates brought the total cost to $1.016 million.
Ringstaff said the developed cost per acre for the North Lee and Georgetown properties are $67,700 and $57,788 respectively.
In addition, rezoning is needed to place the North Lee property within city boundaries.
A third piece of property was brought to the city's attention last week. Ringstaff said the land is 15 acres within city limits. The property is on the west side of Interstate 75 near Cleveland Middle School. Property owners are asking for a base price of $1 million. Development of the land would cost roughly $266,800.
Another factor concerning the third property was presented to the board.
"There could be [Blue Ridge] streams, meaning there could be blue stream runoffs," Ringstaff said. "We would have to figure out how to mitigate the blue stream runoffs and leave them there."
Ringstaff met with a third-party Realtor, Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland and City Manager Janice Casteel.
"The Realtor, who obviously wants to stay anonymous, said Georgetown is hands-down your best buy as in money spent and location," Ringstaff said.
He said he believed the mayor felt the Georgetown property was the city's best option, as well. Ringstaff believed Casteel was good with any of the properties.
Steve Morgan, board member, made a motion to pursue the Georgetown property. He said it was time for the board to enter into serious negotiations.
Richard Shaw, board member, seconded the motion and the board members unanimously agreed on the action.
"I think we should try to negotiate the price one more time [before taking it before City Council]," Ringstaff said.
The Georgetown property will be fully developed 90 days following the end of negotiations.
A Request for Qualification will be issued for architects interested and qualified to handle the new elementary school account, said Ringstaff.
Morgan made a second motion to begin the process of requesting RFQs from potential architects. He said this was vital to entering solid discussions with the property owners.
Peggy Pesterfield, board member, cited concern over the back 5 acres of the Georgetown property. The land is below flood level. Ringstaff and Dawn Robinson, board member, said the land could be used for nature trails.
"There is not enough green area without those 5 acres," Robinson said. "We do not want another Mayfield Elementary [lack of green area]."
Board members expressed interest in lowering the cost of the back 5 acres during negotiations.
Shaw said he would like to see the new school opened in 2015. Fellow board members expressed doubt in his timeline.
Robinson said there were too many factors to realistically expect a 2015 opening date. She cited construction of the school, hiring new employees and rezoning of the school district.
Ringstaff mentioned the new school faculty and staff would not cause too much of a disruption.
"It will be a very easy switch. A lot of your core teachers and staff are already here due to the growth," Ringstaff said. "They will simply just be moving."
He said employee salaries and utilities will probably cost roughly $650,000 annually.
"And that is us being pretty frugal," Ringstaff said.
Added Robinson, "It is good the county has grown in population. When the county gets more, we get more."
Continued Robinson, "We should have more money, because we have more taxpayers, right?"

Arbitron Accelerates Planned Increase in Cell-phone-only Household Sample
Columbia, MD - Dec 21, 2009 - Arbitron plans to accelerate a scheduled increase in its diary market cell-phone-only (CPO) household sample target. Arbitron now plans to raise the proportion of its diary sample coming from CPO households to an average of 15 percent across all of its diary markets in the U.S. by Spring 2010. When implemented, the planned increase in cell-phone-only household sampling will represent an increase of 50 percent from the year-end 2009 sample target, which is equal to an average of 10 percent. Previously, Arbitron had announced that this increase was scheduled for completion by year-end 2010.
Effective with the current Fall 2009 survey, Arbitron implemented CPO sampling in all of its 268 diary markets, completing the rollout of CPO sampling to all Arbitron-rated radio markets in the 50 United States, including diary- and PPM-based ratings services.
Arbitron began CPO sampling in 151 diary markets during the Spring 2009 survey where CPO sampling yielded a 25 percent gain in the Designated Delivery Index (DDI) sample quality metric for Persons aged 18-34. CPO sampling helped maintain the sample quality momentum in Summer 2009 diary markets where DDI improved by 11 points over the Summer 2008 survey for Persons aged 18-34 in markets with CPO sampling.
According to Arbitron, people who live in CPO households are more likely to be age 18-34. While the CPO sample target was an average of 10 percent of the total (12+) diary sample in Spring 2009 across all markets, it represented approximately 28 percent of the 18-34 in-tab sample. "With this new increase in spring 2010, the percent of 18-34 sample represented by CPO households should be closer to 40 percent," said Dr. Robert F. Henrick, executive vice president, customer solutions, Arbitron.

'Cloud Atlas' Trailer Offers Nearly Six Minutes of Awe, Wonder, and WTF
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 26, 2012 | Comments (1)The novels of David Mitchell are densely layered affairs concerned with a complicated multitude of characters facing big and complex issues. Or so I hear. His novel Cloud Atlas is a favorite of many, but even those who would love to see a film version have been adamant that such an endeavor would be a foolish and fruitless undertaking. That opinion didn't change when Tom Tykwer and Andy & Lana Wachowski announced they had written a screenplay and were looking for funding and distribution. It wavered slightly when the casting announcements started rolling in, but it otherwise stayed steadfast. But now the first official trailer has dropped, and while the possibility of a disaster remains it looks like these three writer/directors have accomplished something amazing. Will it live up to the novel? Who knows, but there's no doubting anymore that they've accomplished something audacious and wonderful here. Check out the extended trailer below (courtesy of Cinema Blend).

The Complexity Landscape of Recursive Definitions Involving Generalized Atoms in Answer Set Programming
by Wolfgang Faber (University of Huddersfield, UK)
In recent years, Answer Set Programming (ASP), logic programming under the stable model or answer set semantics, has seen several extensions by generalizing the notion of an atom in these programs: be it aggregate atoms, HEX atoms, generalized quantifiers, or abstract constraints, the idea is to have more complicated satisfaction patterns in the lattice of Herbrand interpretations than traditional, simple atoms. In this talk, we will first provide an introduction to Answer Set Programming, subsequently focussing on the extension by generalized atoms. It is known that allowing for generalized atoms can increase the complexity of reasoning tasks, even if the evaluation of the generalized atoms is polynomial. We present recent results that map the precise boundary of this complexity gap under the two main semantics considered in the literature. We also discuss several practical implications of these results.

Speed of Gravity
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1991
What is the "speed" of gravity?
I know that over the centuries we have found equations which mathematically relate most of the natural forces, but gravity is one that has resisted all such efforts. Since gravity is apparently so different perhaps it is not constrained like electricity and magnetism to a maximum speed - light speed. Are there any tests/experiments to measure the time it takes for gravity to act between two bodies? Thought experiment: If everything in the universe was divided into two enormous masses and placed at opposite sides of the universe how long would it take for them to begin moving toward each other? -- assuming we did not have two Medium Bangs :-)
a) Immediately.
b) The time it would take light to travel between them.
c) Half the time it would take light to travel between them.
d) Never, the gravitons would be part of the masses and thus could not transmit the gravitational forces.
e) None of the above
Now that I think of it a graviton would have to be FASTER than a photon or black holes would have no gravity - Right?
Gravitons are still hypothetical since no one has managed to quantize gravity yet, but gravitational waves should exist and are expected to travel at the speed of light. We should be close to detecting G gravitational waves any year now. Your comment about black holes is not quite right: remember gravity is really a distortion of the space-time continuum caused by mass. This is part of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
John Hawley
Gravitons travel at the speed of light, in the theory of general relativity (at least to the extent that the theory recognizes the existence of quantum mechanics). A prediction of the general theory is that gravitons will carry off a definite amount of energy from millisecond pulsars, making the slow down at a predictable rate. That rate seems to be observed. See the 1993 Nobel Prize in physics to Taylor and his colleague who made the observations.

Convertible bonds may hit profits
April 15, 2010
M Allirajan , TNN
COIMBATORE: Though the recent rally in stocks and rupee appreciation have helped companies that had raised money though foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs), the effective conversion price for these bonds is still at a significant premium to stock prices in most cases. With FCCBs totalling Rs 21,900 crore likely to come up for redemption over the next two years, many companies face the risk of either high equity dilution or a huge dip in profits due to the likely increase in refinancing costs.
