Anti-Haddix group campaigns to block mayor's reelection
Their motto might be, "Anybody but Haddix."
Several Peachtree City residents are organizing a formal group to challenge the reelection candidacy of Mayor Don Haddix along with his wife, Cathy, who is seeking election to the Post 3 seat on the City Council.
Steve Thaxton said PTC Pride has been registered with the state as an "independent committee" and not a political action committee because the group will not support any one particular candidate in the election. The plan, however, is to publicize facts about Don and Cathy Haddix to encourage voters to choose other candidates for the mayor and Post 3 seats, Thaxton said.
The campaign against the Haddixes will include yard signs and newspaper ads along with a website that is currently under construction but will be live Oct. 15: www.ptcpride.org, Thaxton added.
"We intend to have bullet points of things that Mayor Haddix has done and how they have, in our opinion, negatively impacted the betterment of Peachtree City," Thaxton said. "Short, straight, simple documented things, not mudslinging, but negative things that reflect on Mayor Haddix."
Mayor Haddix said Tuesday that he isn't bothered by the formation of the group, which he attributed to fellow Councilman Eric Imker.
"All the people who are part of this supposed group are all Imker backers and he did a massive recruiting action before," Haddix said. "It doesn't bother me, it says to me it's a sign of desperation that he's trying to hang on to being in the council majority position and I honestly think it's going to backfire on him."
Imker — who is not on the ballot this fall — was unavailable for comment by press time Tuesday afternoon. According to an email from his account, he sent an introductory email about PTC Pride over the weekend to more than 300 people, encouraging them to forward it along to their friends as well.
Because Mrs. Haddix has already said she would support all of her husband's initiatives for the city, she too must be challenged, Thaxton said. Mrs. Haddix is facing off against incumbent Post 3 council member Kim Learnard.
"We will be actively out in public saying these are reasons not to vote for the Haddixes, but we will not support any other individual candidate running against them," Thaxton said.
Thaxton said PTC Pride is sure to bring up the defamation lawsuit filed against Haddix that ultimately cost the city nearly $10,000 to settle. The lawsuit, filed by former mayor Harold Logsdon — who is challenging Haddix for mayor this November — was over an email comment Haddix made to a city staffer claiming that Logsdon was "part drunk" at council meetings. The lawsuit was ultimately settled in Logsdon's favor as Haddix issued an apology.
Thaxton said PTC Pride hopes to raise four to five thousand dollars to complete its mission, and if there are any funds left over at the end of the campaign to donate them to city hall to offset the expenses the city incurred due to the libel lawsuit that was filed against Haddix.
IPumpkin Haddix if you had a dime for all each of your IQ points you could not get a 99 cent value meal.
I have seen more than a few "Honk if you are Haddix's chit list" bumper stickers. LOL
and I add it's so hard to imagine the hate within these hearts and this small
city. just consider the IQ's
That sort of tells you how this election is going to play out. Seriously, there is no one else.
Still, to be sure on this, glad to see an AnyoneButEitherHaddix group formed that is ready to broadcast the reasons why Don and his wife are horrid choices. The old adage of "better to deal with the fool you know than the fool you don't" is often wrong. This is one(actually two I guess) where about anyone would be more capable.
Not the biggest fan of Learnard but she's a lot better than Cathy Haddix.
Not the biggest fan of some of the Mayoral candidates like Logsdon or Jolley or Fleish, but any of those would be an improvement. Probably going with Deinhart myself.
I went to the Logsdon event and gave him $100 just to get along with everybody, but I am not impressed. I think George would be a better mayor and that is how I am voting. Probably sending some money as well.
I am still strongly with King and Ernest and of course Learnard who is suspect, but much better than Chatty Cathy.
Getting close to PTC Freedom Day - Nov 5th only a few weeks away.
While I think an anti-Haddix(s) message is quite unnecessary, as they do a a more than adequate job of displaying their own shortcomings on a daily basis - I am reminded that this is exactly how DirectPAC was formed. The working name was Anybody But Brown until some of the cooler heads suggested a generic name that portrayed a more positive image.
DirectPAC raised thousands of dollars had about 300 active members and certainly influenced enough voters to rid ourselves of the Brown menace. This was done without actually endorsing a single candidate. Everybody assumes Logsdon was a DirectPAC pick, but he was not.
Why Imker, a sitting councilperson not up for reelection thinks it is a good idea to provide visible opposition to Haddix is a complete mystery. Granted, attending meetings twice a month with the man-child must be difficult, but this is responding to a lunatic in such a way that it actually fuels his own ego. Haddix doesn't actually have any supporters as many bloggers have pointed out, but mounting this effort might actually get him some sympathy votes, albeit from people who have never met the man - or his charming wife. Be sure to chat up Cathy before election day. Meet her for coffee or something. You will be amazed.
Granted Imker has every right to do this, but I think it wasn't appropriate to send this email to 300 of his best friends, lol.
Would be kind of interesting though if Don lost and Cathy won a seat. (not that I am voting that way). If she freely admits to saying those things to Mr. Gresham, imagine what would come out of her mouth if she actually had a position.
Pride will squash the pumpkin NO mo Haddixs
Pride will squash the pumpkin NO mo Haddixs
If the other contenders in the race cannot win against Haddix on their own merit they do not deserve to be elected. But I refuse to believe this is the case - Haddix will be easily defeated.
Life is too precious to waste on endeavors of spite, bitterness, and vindictiveness. I challenge Steve Thaxton and co. to turn away from this foolish pursuit and instead spend their energy to help us move forward. Pick the best candidate, promote and support them through the election, and we'll all share in the success.
I suggest George - King and Logsdon have shown themselves to be bitter, shallow men with their constant disparagement and petty lawsuits against the mayor. We need a forward looking candidate, and one who campaigns on "Vote for Me, I'm not Haddix" won't cut it with me, nor do I expect it will with the other voters.
Maybe it is the current Mayor's doing?
Ever read his drivel here? He is a condescending a$$. Bless his heart.
Website going live on Oct. 15th and I will be contributing. Hell why wait until then? I'm ready to donate :)
Now is the time for you to get your supporters out there in front of this group. I am anxiously waiting to see the throngs of people flocking to your defense against the attack on your record.
Please post their website and give us a list of prominent names that represent the leadership of PTC and the county that support your record of "leadership" over the last four years.
With anticipation, I remain
PTC Observer
BTW, nice sign in your backyard. Can't wait to see you hammering those in all over the city. Maybe we can get some PR pictures of you doing this? You know surrounded by all your supporters?
I had a website like that once, about a condo association in FL. Cost me 10 bucks at google and I had it up for a few months. I have never gotten more entertainment out of 10 bucks prior or since. The mayor talks too much and I would imagine that he would admit to that. I think that a large group of people owe a debt of gratitude to the mayor for providing so much grist for their mills; all the talk is about abundance.

Translate this page Girls water polo closes Winter Classic tournament with two winsThursday, January 9th, 2014 Issue 02, Volume 18.
The Warriors opened the tournament Dec. 16 at the Valhalla High School pool against Torrey Pines, who took a 7-4 victory at Fallbrooks expense. "First half I thought we did great," said Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond. The Falcons had a 3-2 lead at halftime but expanded that margin to 5-2 by the end of the third quarter. "Third period we just couldnt get the ball moving," Redmond said. "We werent able to get good passes." The game concluded with each team scoring twice in the fourth period. "The fourth quarter was probably the best quarter out of the four quarters," Redmond said of the Warriors play. "Things started to gel. They started to play a little better." The Warriors have six seniors, including five starters and three returning starters, on their 13-girl squad. "We are a really young team and we are relying on our seniors quite a bit to become leaders and help motivate the girls," Redmond said. Fallbrooks other Dec. 16 game, also at Valhalla, was a 13-6 loss to Capistrano Valley. The Warriors trailed 8-4 at halftime and 10-5 after three periods. "Regardless of the score I thought that was a better game that we played," Redmond said. "We definitely played a much better game as a team. The Warriors, who took a 5-4 victory against Mission Hills in a non-tournament game Dec. 10 at Palomar College and lost an 8-3 non-tournament match Dec. 12 at Granite Hills, extended their losing streak to four games when tournament play resumed Dec. 20. Fallbrooks game at the Grossmont High School pool saw Otay Ranch prevail by a 6-5 score. "It was back and forth," Redmond said. The score was tied at the end of each of the first three periods, and the second quarter was scoreless. Fallbrook tied the game with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but with 37 seconds remaining the Mustangs scored the wining goal. "They got the ball right in to their player in the middle," Redmond said. Fallbrooks two Dec. 21 games were also at Grossmont High Schools pool. Fallbrooks initial Winter Classic win was by a 12-1 margin against Monte Vista. "We played better. That was probably the bottom line with that," Redmond said of the teams first victory after three tournament losses. "Things just finally clicked and they were doing well." Six different players scored goals for the Warriors. Fallbrook goalie Mackenzie Roache, a senior who spent the 2012-13 season on the Warriors junior varsity squad, made six saves. "We basically had a shutout going until the end of the third period," Redmond said. Fallbrook concluded tournament play with a 10-1 triumph over Mira Mesa. The Marauders only goal was during the fourth quarter. "We had another shutout going for three periods," Redmond said. Roache made four saves against Mira Mesa, and once again six different Fallbrook players placed shots into the net. The Warriors finished the calendar year 2013 portion of their season with a 5-7 overall record. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

For release Friday, February 1, 2008. Contact Bob Brammer – 515-281-6699.
The "IowaVINE" system – a victim information and notification system for crime victims that tracks the custody status of criminals who have been arrested or convicted -- has just expanded to include persons in the system of the Iowa Department of Corrections, Attorney General Tom Miller announced Friday.
The IowaVINE system was launched last year, but it only included selected county jails around the state. "Adding Corrections is a huge step forward," Miller said. "It means about 8700 more offenders are covered by the IowaVINE system," he said.
"IowaVINE is a powerful tool that offers information, notification, and peace of mind for crime victims. It's a superb service for crime victims," he said.
"Crime victims can call in or log on any time, any day, for up-to-date information on an offender's status," he said. "Just call 888-7-IAVINE, or go to www.vinelink.com. It's easy, it's quick, it's free, and it's reassuring for victims," Miller said.(Go to: IowaVINE brochure.)
Victims also can register for virtually immediate notification when an offender's custody status changes, such as release, escape, transfer, or death. Persons may register for e-mail notification by going to www.vinelink.com. Persons may register for telephone notification by going to the web site or calling 888-7-IAVINE. In a telephone notification, IowaVINE will continue calling for up to 48 hours or until the person enters a PIN code to confirm receiving the notification. (Go to: example of IowaVINE notification call.)
When Miller unveiled the IowaVINE system last June, 23 Iowa counties and their jails were on the system. "We are up to 49 counties now, including three added this week," Miller said -- Benton, Chickasaw and Delaware Counties. Miller estimated that about two-thirds of Iowans live in counties now covered by IowaVINE.
Miller said the IowaVINE system already has had over 69,000 "hits" – where Iowans contacted the system by phone or on-line to check the status of offenders. (There were 69,528 hits on-line via www.VINElink.com, and 1,854 by phone.) Miller said about 1700 Iowans also have registered with IowaVINE to receive virtually instant notification when an offender's status changes, such as transfer, release, escape, or death of an offender.
"IowaVINE works for crime victims, and it makes our work easier to serve victims," Miller said. "We are especially glad that the Dept. of Corrections is now on the system."
Miller was joined at a news conference Friday by Fred Scaletta, Public and Media Relations Director and Supervisor of the Office of Victim and Restorative Justice Programs for the Iowa Department of Corrections, and Rod Fritz of Des Moines – whose 19-year-old son was killed in a drunk driving crash in June 2005. Fritz told how important it is for victims, or survivors of homicide victims, to keep track of the status of offenders.
John Baldwin, Director of the Iowa Dept. of Corrections, said in a statement: "The Department of Corrections is excited and pleased to participate in the IowaVINE victim notification program. The opportunity for all victims as well as all parties affected or impacted by crime to receive automated notice of offender status and movement only enhances our mission to protect and serve victims in the most respectful and responsible manner possible. We are extremely grateful to the Attorney General's Crime Victim Assistance Division for their leadership and support in the planning, development and implementation of this project."
"It is a matter of peace of mind for victims to know that they can access up-to-date information about an offender," Miller said. "Sometimes it is a matter of safety to be automatically notified if an offender is released or escapes, and if he or she may pose an immediate danger. Victims know what an offender is capable of and deserve this service to help them stay informed."
"IowaVINE is another huge step forward for Iowa victims of violent crime," Miller said.
The 49 counties now on IowaVINE (in order of joining) are: Story and Scott 12/06; Grundy, Boone, and Pottawattamie 1/07; Warren, Hamilton, Johnson, Polk, and Sioux 2/07; Cherokee, Muscatine, Jasper, and Appanoose 3/07; Woodbury, Clay, Carroll, and Bremer 4/07; Black Hawk, Lyon, and Dubuque 5/07; Webster, Buena Vista, Dallas, Marion, and Lucas 6/07; Page, Audubon, Tama, and Louisa 7/07; Emmet, Plymouth, Adair, and Butler 8/07; Cedar, and Howard 9/07; Jones, Humboldt, Mills, and Buchanan 10/07; Wayne, Fayette, Clarke, and Wright 11/07; Adams, and Shelby 12/07; and Benton, Chickasaw, and Delaware 1/08. Forty-nine more counties have signed on to join the IowaVINE system by the end of 2008. [Go to map of Iowa counties up on IowaVINE (as of 1-29-08). Note: several counties come up each month. Go to www.vinelink.com for updated list of counties.]
VINE was created about a dozen years ago by Mike Davis, founder and president of Appriss, the Louisville, KY-based company that is providing the automated system used by IowaVINE and other states. Davis created the VINE system after a woman was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend in Kentucky. The killer had been in jail accused of sexual assault against the woman. The Sheriff assured her that she would be notified if the offender left custody. But, the offender posted bail, silently stalked her for several days, then shot her to death on her 21st birthday at her car outside her workplace. She was never notified of his release.
Appriss provides victim-service-trained live telephone operators 24/7/365, in addition to the automated telephone and on-line information and notification service. Phone, online, and operator services are available in both English and Spanish and operators use Language Line to provide the service in an additional 400 languages.
IowaVINE is a service of the Crime Victim Assistance Division of the Attorney General's Office. The system is being established under a $1.25 million grant from the Office for Justice Programs of the U.S. Dept. of Justice.

- Collective treatment of the giant resonances in spherical nuclei (1966)
- In a collective treatment the energies of the giant resonances are given by the boundary conditions at the nuclear surface, which is subject to vibration in spherical nuclei. The general form of the coupling between these two collective motions is given by angular-momentum and parity conservation. The coupling constants are completely determined within the hydrodynamical model. In the present treatment the influence of the surface vibrations on the total photon-absorption cross section is calculated. It turns out that in most of the spherical nuclei this interaction leads to a pronounced structure in the cross section. The agreement with the experiments in medium-heavy nuclei is striking; many of the experimental characteristics are reproduced by the present calculations. In some nuclei, however, there seem to be indications of single-particle excitations which are not yet contained in this work.
- Excitation function of energy density and partonic degrees of freedom in relativistic heavy ion collisions (1998)
- We estimate the energy density epsilon pile-up at mid-rapidity in central Pb+Pb collisions from 2 200 GeV/nucleon. epsilon is decomposed into hadronic and partonic contributions. A detailed analysis of the collision dynamics in the framework of a microscopic transport model shows the importance of partonic degrees of freedom and rescattering of leading (di)quarks in the early phase of the reaction for Elab 30 GeV/nucleon. In Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/nucleon the energy density reaches up to 4 GeV/fm3, 95% of which are contained in partonic degrees of freedom.
- Equilibrium and nonequilibrium effects in nucleus nucleus collisions (1999)
- Abstract: Local thermal and chemical equilibration is studied for central AqA collisions at 10.7 160 AGeV in the Ultrarelativis- . tic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model UrQMD . The UrQMD model exhibits strong deviations from local equilibrium at the high density hadron string phase formed during the early stage of the collision. Equilibration of the hadron resonance matter is established in the central cell of volume Vs125 fm3 at later stages, tG10 fmrc, of the resulting quasi-isentropic expansion. The thermodynamical functions in the cell and their time evolution are presented. Deviations of the UrQMD quasi-equilibrium state from the statistical mechanics equilibrium are found. They increase with energy per baryon and lead to a strong enhancement of the pion number density as compared to statistical mechanics estimates at SPS energies. PACS: 25.75.-q; 24.10.Lx; 24.10.Pa; 64.30.qt
- Relativistic hadron-hadron collisions in the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics model (1999)
- Hadron-hadron collisions at high energies are investigated in the Ultra- relativistic-Quantum-Molecular-Dynamics approach. This microscopic trans- port model describes the phenomenology of hadronic interactions at low and intermediate energies ( s < 5 GeV) in terms of interactions between known hadrons and their resonances. At higher energies, s > 5 GeV, the excitation of color strings and their subsequent fragmentation into hadrons dominates the multiple production of particles in the UrQMD model. The model shows a fair overall agreement with a large body of experimental h-h data over a wide range of h-h center-of-mass energies. Hadronic reaction data with higher precision would be useful to support the use of the UrQMD model for relativistic heavy ion collisions.
- Hadronic observables from SIS to SPS energies: anything strange with strangeness? (2002)
- We calculate p, ±,K± and (+ 0) rapidity distributions and compare to experimental data from SIS to SPS energies within the UrQMD and HSD transport approaches that are both based on string, quark, diquark (q, ¯q, qq, ¯q ¯q) and hadronic degrees of freedom. The two transport models do not include any explicit phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). It is found that both approaches agree rather well with each other and with the experimental rapidity distributions for protons, s, ± and K±. In- spite of this apparent agreement both transport models fail to reproduce the maximum in the excitation function for the ratio K+/ + found experimen- tally between 11 and 40 A·GeV. A comparison to the various experimental data shows that this failure is dominantly due to an insu cient description of pion rapidity distributions rather than missing strangeness . The modest di erences in the transport model results on the other hand can be attributed to di erent implementations of string formation and frag- mentation, that are not su ciently controlled by experimental data for the elementary reactions in vacuum.
- Nucleus-nucleus collisions at high baryon densities (2002)
- We study central collision of Pb + Pb at 20, 40, 80 and 160 A·GeV within the UrQMD transport approach and compare rapidity distributions of ,K+,K and with the recent measurements from the NA49 Collaboration at 40, 80 and 160 A·GeV. It is found that the UrQMD model reasonably describes the data, however, systematically overpredicts the yield by < 20%, whereas the K+ yield is underestimated by < 15%. The K yields are in a good agreement with the experimental data, the yields are also in a reasonable correspondence with the data for all energies. We find that hadronic flavour exchange reactions largely distort the information about the initial strangeness production mechanism at all energies considered. PACS: 25.75.+r
- Privacy impact assessment – a privacy protection improvement model? (2012)
- A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a systematic risk assessment tool, enabling organizations to maintain compliance with data protection regulations, to manage privacy risks and to provide public benefits through the success of privacy-by-design efforts. An actual practical implementation of a PIA framework has been realized in the context of RFID applications encompassing detailed steps for the PIA process; a first successful review has been completed. The PIA also allows to introduce a pro-active mitigation of privacy risks through technical and organizational controls. The better the precautionary measures realize the relevant privacy objectives, the less likely will occur with the PIA process afterwards. The recent proposal for a far-reaching revision of the EU Data Protection Directive envisages to state a specific requirement to implement a PIA process. Indeed, since risks for privacy and non-disclosure of personal data are different in not identical circumstances, the protection measures should also be different, i.e. technology should assist in trying to achieve the (at least) second-best solution for the implementation of the data protection regime by a PIA. Insofar, privacy rules can be individualized and matched with the concrete needs in the given environment.

My blue wave lace cap isn't blooming.
Last year only 2 blooms. Year before nothing. Year before that only a few. Year before that massive blooms. Plant is about 6 years old. Any ideas? Thanks, Patsi |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you remember this spring when it leafed out? Did it leaf out from the ground? If so, it had problems this winter and the stems got dried out or killed. In dry places where the soil does not freeze or in years when it does not freeze, one has to water the hydrangea about once every week or two. Another possibility is pruning. Make sure you do not prune starting August-September because, sometime then, it will begin to develop new flower buds. You should also stop fertilizing at the same time. Fertilizing then keeps the plant in growth mode and that will not allow the stems to harden in time for winter and early frosts. Fertilize witha cup of cottonseed meal in June and use weak fertilizers during the rest of the growing season (coffee grounds, etc). Dense light does not appear to be a problem but, ironically, it may not be getting enough sun. This can happen in dappled sun conditions. Do you know from when to when it gets sun? |
Same Hydrangea to left of penstemon and weigela-pic april 27 I fertilize every 10 day with 10/10/10 miracle grow with the rest of garden but not when its in the 90's. I'll be glad to move it to one spot I have available that gets full sun from 9am to about noon. Good idea? |
bumping up.... Still looking for answers. |
Wow, I think you may be fertilizing too much and adding too much nitrogen. Hydrangeas do not need much in this area and will not have the stupendous growth that roses can deliver given enough amendments & fertilizers. For example, in the south, I generally fertilize twice a year with an organic fertilizer called cottonseed meal or with manure (1 cup for a shrub of that size) and that is it. Well, maybe some coffee grounds now and then too (stop in August or September though so the plant will go dormant and harden off for winter. In the north, you might consider feeding it once in June. Too much sun would not result in such a nice looking shrub. Instead you would have a shrub whose leaves (the ones in contact with the sun) would turn yellowish, including the leaf veins. And it definitely would not impair the ability to bloom. See the link below for more information. Scroll to the bottom to get to the section titled "Fertilizing Hydrangeas". The website has a lot of hydrangea information so choose a day when you have lots of time to read. As for moving it, I would keep it were it is. It looks very healthy and happy there. Luis PS - Sorry for the delay answering. I have been busy at work and lost track of several posts as they moved up and down on the list. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fertilizing Hydrangeas
Fertilizing every 10 days is too much. This plant is getting too much nitrogen, which is why it grows but doesn't bloom. It should only be fertilized once or twice a year. I've been using a mix of triple phosphate and manure once in the spring and then I follow with 2 feedings (early June and mid July) of alfalfa tea (which isn't actually a fertilizer but a conditioner) with good results. Many will argue that hydrangeas only need compost. |
'Many will argue that hydrangeas only need compost.' Or nothing. |
Glad to hear it's not getting too much sun. I see it is questionable about the type of fertilizer but that's ok. Thanks, Patsi |

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 598 - 22 February, 2005 Written Answers. - Garda Complaints Procedures. Mr. F. McGrath Mr. F. McGrath 312. Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the procedures open to victims of crime who are not satisfied with the Garda investigation of their case; if he will seek further clarification, support, advice and assistance to ensure that truth and justice prevails; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5854/05] Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell 473 Mr. McDowell:If a person is not happy with [473] the conduct of a member of the Garda Síochána, it is open to him or her to make a complaint to the Garda Síochána Complaints Board. The Garda Síochána Complaints Board is currently the statutory body to investigate complaints by members of the public against the Garda. A complaint can be made by writing or by calling to its offices. A complaint can also be made at any Garda station, and it will be forwarded to the board for attention unless the person indicates in writing that he or she wishes it to be dealt with by the Garda Síochána itself. The Minister cannot pass on a complaint to the board on anyone's behalf as it is a condition of the relevant legislation that the person concerned must make the complaint in one of the ways described. The board is not empowered to deal with complaints not lodged within six months of the date of the incident. The board's offices are located at Block 1, Irish Life Centre, Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1, telephone No. 01-878 7526. I understand from the Garda authorities that procedures put in place in relation to the victims of crime — which are set out in the Garda Charter for Victims of Crime — provide that the Garda will inform victims, where a suspect is charged, of the time, date and location of the court hearing of the charges against the accused. Victims who are not satisfied with the investigation of their case or have inquiries, suggestions or feedback on any aspect of treatment of the victims of crime by any member of the Garda Síochána may contact the Victim Liaison Officer, Community Relations Section, Harcourt Square, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2. (01) 6663802 or their local superintendent. I can further inform the Deputy that provision for victims is made by a number of Government agencies as well as non-governmental organisations. The rights and entitlements of victims of crime in Ireland are set out in the Victims Charter, published by my Department in 1999, following extensive consultations with all relevant agencies including the courts, Garda Síochána, the Prison Service, the probation and welfare service, the State prosecution service and the Victim Support organisation. Victim Support provides support to victims of crime and their families through a network of volunteers nationwide. My Department has provided funding for its administrative and staff costs amounting to €5.3 million in the five years up to the end of 2004. The charter makes specific provision for particularly vulnerable victims such as victims of sexual offences, domestic violence, elderly victims with disabilities, and children. It also contains specific provisions on keeping victims informed of the outcome of their complaints, the progress of any criminal proceedings, and the outcome of these proceedings. 474 It is my intention to arrange for a review of the provisions of the Victims Charter in the near future, in order to ensure its continuing relevance [474] and effectiveness in providing for crime victims. As well as administrative and other provisions, the review will critically examine the deployment of resources to ensure that they continue to deliver maximum effectiveness as well as value for money. The review will also have regard to the EU framework decision of 15 March 2001 on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings, which sets out to harmonise the treatment of victims of crime across the EU, to ensure that Ireland continues to meet its commitments in that regard.

I don't have any photos at the moment because I'm trying to weed it out (it's very aggressive, having appeared in one location last year but everywhere this year), but hopefully I can provide enough information. Size: About 2-3ft after one growing season. Very healthy-looking lush growth when growing in shade on clay soil. Develops a sharp, narrow reddish-purplish-brown border at the leaf edge when exposed to more sun. Looking at the topmost leaves alone, it bears more than a passing resemblance to basil. It has more leaves on the stem though. |

It sounds a lot like what is known here as fireweed, Chamerion angustifolium (formerly Epilobium angustifolium) or in the UK as rosebay willowherb. Will grow almost anywhere but especially plentiful in damp soils and in open areas. 'angustifolium' means narrow leaves but IME (and this is a rampant weed in my area), new growth is extremely lush and the leaves wider and much more rounded than when the plant is mature. A resemblance to basil is very evident :-) It often has a reddish tint to the new foliage and reddish stems as well. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Chamerion angustifolium
Mmmm, would agree there, GG. Funnily enough, I am nurturing the white willowherb (supposedly not a rampant seeder) to plant along my stream banks. |
- Posted by sutremaine UK S.Wales 9 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 19:44
That's the bugger. The area it sprouted in last year was cleared out and dug over the year before to get rid of the scraggly grass and allow dormant seeds to pop up, but it looks like I'll have to keep knocking this one back to allow the slow starters a chance to grow. The bees would probably like them, especially if I can get enough sun on them to make the flowers pop like in the photos. Thanks! |
Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) has very showy, magenta flowers and grows to about 5'. It flowers in late summer and is definitely not insignificant. After flowering, is followed by the "smoke" period when its fluffy white seeds drift through the garden. The leaves are narrow and willow-like. There are a few related weeds with insignificant flowers, but fireweed, though spreading, is a very attractive garden plant and a good alternative to purple loosestrife. We grew it for years and after letting it take over the garden, found it easy enough to control with a little work. Whatever it is, cut the seedheads off before they ripen. |
The original description of the plant in question does not fit to the plant called Epilobium angustifolium AT ALL. It does not spread upwards and it does NOT make a clump. At least NOT HERE.(and it covers the half of the land). You cannot compare it to Lythrum at all. Lythrum does not produce seed when solitary, and it does not run. |
This post was edited by wieslaw59 on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 12:20
well, it's quite hard to know what is meant by spreading upwards and ninamarie is not exactly comparing it to P.loosestrife (and we do not want to get into definitions here either). Good to see you back in contentious mode (or mood) after a long winter, Wieslaw. |
Flowers are close to the same colour as purple loosestrife and they can be mistaken at a quick glance. Often, when we are driving through the north here, I have to get out of the car to see the plants up close before I can distinguish between fireweed and purple loosestrife. But blame it on these aging eyes. If we are speaking of the same plant - purple loosestrife or Lythrum salicaire, it is definitely a seed producer, even when solitary, and it definitely runs. Fireweed is easy to weed out; loosestrife is not. |
- Posted by sutremaine UK S.Wales 9 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 20:43
I thought I posted this once already... Anyway, the flowers are pretty insignificant when the plant is growing between a house and a fence and gets sun only on midsummer mornings. ;) It's definitely fireweed (or an extremely close relative...), and the description was close enough for it to be ID'd correctly with the first reply. So, good enough this time. I say definitely fireweed and not loosestrife mostly on account of the long, curving seed capsules. |
There are other weedy Epilobiums which occur more commonly in gardens than E angustifolium. E parviflorum is one such. |
um, would agree that e.parviflorum is the most likely candidate, given the supposed insignificance of the flowers. |
- Posted by sutremaine UK S.Wales 9 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 15:28
Guess we'll have to wait until it flowers, then. |
Can you show us a picture of the basal rosette? That would settle it. |

- Posted by abgardeneer Z3, Calgary (My Page) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 14:52
It certainly is an Epilobium sp., but it's not Chamerion(Epilobium) angustifolium. Compare to other weedy species, e.g. E. ciliatum, etc.. |
Yep, that settles it...but would go with the small-flowered willowherb, E.parviflorum. It's annoyingly ubiquitous in the UK, lacking the far prettier flowers of E.angustifolium - yet I am certain every new gardener has nurtured the impressive looking rosette, fooled into great expectations - I know for sure I have. |
- Posted by sutremaine UK S.Wales 9 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 18:57
If it seems too good to be true... It's quite a welcome splash of green in the early Spring, even if its boundless enthusiasm makes it otherwise undesireable. |
I have just been forking it out of my allotment. It has a nasty habit of growing amongst the Lambs Lettuce and doing a good job of mimicking it. Harder to pull up than it looks as it has a tendency to hang on the the soil tenaciously with multiple fine roots.. |
yep, been forking it out of mine too. What do you grow, Flora? edibles, flowers, weird stuff? Do you ever feel a bit stretched - allotment, woods, garden? |
My 'garden' is genuinely minute, the wood looks after itself and the allotment is pretty much under control after 20 odd years. I only grow stuff that wants to grow, don't do any bedding out and let things self seed a lot. Such as the aforementioned Lambs Lettuce. But, yes, I sometimes get home from work and think I ought to be on the allotment - but stay in and have a glass of wine instead. |

Monticello is about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Oneword: Chrisday
Laura Foreman
April 2, 2009
Filed under Student Life, Student Profiles
From sports to creative arts, Chris Day is the complete package and a well-rounded addition to the community. A senior at CCA, Chris is one of the few who has attended Calvary since its doors were first opened in 2000. Thirteen years of hockey, four years of soccer, and a newly acquired interest in tennis have defined Chris athletically, but he has also had his share of experience instrumentally. He plays the guitar and bass for the worship band at Calvary Chapel's high school youth group, Liquid.
One of Chris' most notable qualities however, is his 'git-er-done' attitude. His love for art led to the beginning of his own clothing line. Oneword! Apparel, resulted from Chris' well-known nickname, the line began in mid-2008 with a few cans of spray paint and some friends just for fun, but the artist in Chris came out when he took it a step further and began printing out of his garage. Though artistically talented, Chris does not desire to pursue art in his future. "It will always be a hobby to me. I don't want it to be my job because then it wouldn't be fun anymore."
Unsure of what the future holds, Chris will be graduating high school in May and is deciding between attending Florida Atlantic University and the University of Central Florida. "If I get into UCF I'm going to go there to play hockey," after having been offered a scholarship. He plans on majoring in Business or Entrepreneurship, and will hopefully start a business. "I don't have one genre," says Chris, and his variety of talents and his easy-going personality allow him to befriend mostly anyone. Jon Flake, one of Chris' closest friends, says, "We eat Big Al's Philly cheese steaks and ride our bikes to Steak n Shake at 2am. He's easy to hang out with and has good character." Jon, along with many others, will attest to the fact that Chris' personality is contagious, and his love for Christ is evident in all he does.

We've detected you are coming from a location where we have a regional site.Please choose one of the following sites:
23/05/2011 "This important move will enable us to expand and provide our customers with a whole new raft of rental and sales solutions in 2011 and beyond", Chris Russell-Fish, Global Sales & Marketing Director and Hasselblad UK MD.
The UK's premier photographic rental company is on the move. After almost a quarter of a century in Mallow Street, London, the Pro Centre is relocating less than a mile away to larger premises, all on the ground floor – with customer parking spaces and OUT of the city's congestion zone. General Manager Renny Lee, Assistant Manager Neil Juggins and the eleven-strong expert Pro Centre staff are set to unveil new solutions for their rapidly escalating database of rental/purchaser photographer customers.Renny Lee, who has an eighteen year history with The Pro Centre, explains: "This move is a major step forward for us – and one of the principal advantages is that we will finally have our entire operation on one floor in an open plan environment. Our customers will be able to walk in and see just about everybody. And access to simple drop-off and parking, plus a trolley system to shift heavy equipment, is going to be an absolute boon." He adds: "At Mallow Street we were just inside the Congestion Zone now we are just outside it. So that's going to be a double advantage for customers ... no congestion charging and no worries about parking tickets either."

Congratulations to everyone here at Odopod and at Cutwater for their tremendous work on the NVIDIA Speak Visual site that won the award for Motion Graphics at the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival.
We're extremely proud to have worked with Cutwater and to have such a great team in place who put forth an amazing amount of effort and creative thinking into the production of the site.
We were also honored to be nominated amongst our friends from Firstborn and Big Spaceship, but even more honored to have taken the win.
Congrats to everyone who worked on the project and to all of the web award winners at SXSW this year.
Congrats! Very well deserved, I love the site.
Thanks Greg!
It turned out great! :-)
It's been thirteen years since we started Odopod.
We've always wanted one thing: to do the best work of our lives. Along the way, we have been joined by an eclectic and exceptionally talented bunch of people who wanted the same thing. Together, we've built a company we love.
Two years ago, Odopod was acquired by Nurun.
The acquisition was a validation of everything we had built. It was also a catalyst for some big changes we wanted to make. We began to tackle bigger, thornier problems and to work all over the world. With Nurun, we've had a series of huge wins and have been producing our best work yet.
That's why we recently decided to retire the Odopod brand, formally adopt Nurun as our name, and take the reins of Nurun's US operations.
We're all still here—same team with the same appetite for great work, only now with different e-mail addresses and more frequent flyer miles. And we're growing, so send your talented friends our way.
Keep an eye out for new work from Nurun. It will be our best yet.

Students at NJIT call for bringing back halal menu
NEWARK, NJ–Muslim students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology are calling on the administration to bring back the halal menu in campus cafetaria.
The "Halal Grill" in the cafeteria has been facing shortages in supplies since last year and has been completely taken out this semester.
In a letter to the student newspaper a Muslim student wrote, "We are a campus from countless walks of life, it is important to accommodate these groups and not marginalize them. I ask that Gourmet Dining Services either provides Halal food, or update its website – the Grill no longer offers a wide variety of Halal items."

Needs are fulfilled according to family size with food, halal meat, clothes, toys, books and food gift cards. MFNS has made it easier for people in need to buy the food according to their dietary specifications.

Two Standards of Detention
December 3, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Amy Goodman, Truthdig
Scott Roeder, the anti-abortion zealot charged with killing Dr. George Tiller, has been busy. He called the Associated Press from the Sedgwick County Jail in Kansas, saying, "I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal." Charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault, he is expected to be arraigned July 28. AP recently reported that Roeder has been proclaiming from his jail cell that the killing of abortion providers is justified. According to the report, the Rev. Donald Spitz of the Virginia-based Army of God sent Roeder seven pamphlets defending "defensive action," or killing of abortion clinic workers.
Spitz's militant Army of God Web site calls Roeder an "American hero," proclaiming, "George Tiller would normally murder between 10 and 30 children … each day … when he was stopped by Scott Roeder."
The site, with biblical quotes suggesting killing is justified, hosts writings by Paul Hill, who killed Dr. John Britton and his security escort in Pensacola, Fla., and by Eric Rudolph, who bombed a Birmingham, Ala., women's health clinic, killing its part-time security guard.
On Spitz's Web site, Rudolph continues to write about abortion: "I believe that deadly force is indeed justified in an attempt to stop it."
Juxtapose Roeder's advocacy from jail with the conditions of Fahad Hashmi.
Hashmi is a U.S. citizen who grew up in Queens, N.Y., and went to Brooklyn College. He went to graduate school in Britain and was arrested there in 2006 for allegedly allowing an acquaintance to stay with him for two weeks. That acquaintance, Junaid Babar, allegedly kept at Hashmi's apartment a bag containing ponchos and socks, which Babar later delivered to an al-Qaida operative. Babar was arrested and agreed to cooperate with the authorities in exchange for leniency.
While the evidence against Hashmi is secret, it probably stems from the claims of the informant Babar.
Fahad Hashmi was extradited to New York, where he has been held in pretrial detention for more than two years. His brother Faisal described the conditions: "He is kept in solitary confinement for two straight years, 23- to 24-hours lockdown. … Within his own cell, he's restricted in the movements he's allowed to do. He's not allowed to talk out loud within his own cell. … He is being videotaped and monitored at all times. He can be punished … denied family visits, if they say his certain movements are martial arts … that they deem as incorrect. He has Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) … against him."
Hashmi cannot contact the media, and even his lawyers have to be extremely cautious when discussing his case, for fear of imprisonment themselves. His attorney Sean Maher told me: "This issue of the SAMs … of keeping people in solitary confinement when they're presumed innocent, is before the European Court of Human Rights. They are deciding whether they will prevent any European country from extraditing anyone to the United States if there is a possibility that they will be placed under SAMs … because they see it as a violation … to hold someone in solitary confinement with sensory deprivation, months before trial."
Similarly, animal rights and environmental activists, prosecuted as "eco-terrorists," have been shipped to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' new "communication management units" (CMUs). Andrew Stepanian was recently released and described for me the CMU as "a prison within the actual prison. … The unit doesn't have normal telephone communication to your family … normal visits are denied … you have to make an appointment to make one phone call a week, and that needs to be done with the oversight of … a live monitor."
Stepanian observed that up to 70 percent of CMU prisoners are Muslim—hence CMU's nickname, "Little Guantanamo." As with Hashmi, it seems that the U.S. government seeks to strip terrorism suspects of legal due process and access to the media—whether in Guantanamo or in the secretive new CMUs. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Bureau of Prisons over the CMUs.
Nonviolent activists like Stepanian, and Muslims like Hashmi, secretly and dubiously charged, are held in draconian conditions, while Roeder trumpets from jail the extreme anti-abortion movement's decades-long campaign of intimidation, vandalism, arson and murder.

Many Guantanamo Cases Referred to US Prosecutors
August 6, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Devlin Barrett
Washington – Dozens of Guantanamo Bay detainee cases have been referred to federal prosecutors for possible criminal trials in the nation's capital, Virginia and New York City, officials told The Associated Press on Monday as a second strategy for trying the detainees emerged within the Obama administration.
The Justice Department's strategy of holding trials in East Coast cities could be a sharp departure from a Pentagon plan to hold all Guantanamo-related civilian and military trials in the Midwest.
The politically volatile decisions about where and how to try Guantanamo Bay detainees ultimately will rest with President Barack Obama as he tries to meet his self-imposed January deadline for closing the island prison.
Obama administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations, said Attorney General Eric Holder met privately last week with the chief federal prosecutor in each of the East Coast areas to discuss the preparations for possible indictments and trials in those districts.
Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the Guantanamo Bay detainee task force "has referred a significant number of cases for possible prosecution, and those cases have now been sent to U.S. Attorney offices who are reviewing them with prosecutors from the Office of Military Commissions." His statement didn't identify the districts involved.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said no final decisions have been made on where in the U.S. to transfer Guantanamo detainees.
One official said prosecutors and military lawyers are now reviewing the individual cases. The work is aimed at indicting individuals in civilian courts, but final decisions have not been made on the cases and some of the inmates whose cases were referred could still end up before military commissions instead.
Officials said the districts which have been referred Guantanamo cases are: Washington, D.C.; the Eastern District of Virginia, which has a courthouse in Alexandria, Va.; the Southern District of New York, which is based in lower Manhattan in New York City; and the Eastern District of New York, which is based in the New York borough of Brooklyn.
Each district has experience prosecuting high-profile terrorism cases, and each courthouse has high-security facilities for holding particularly dangerous inmates.
Yet the plan to hold terror trials in those cities may run afoul of a separate initiative being considered to build a courtroom-within-a-prison complex in the U.S. heartland.
Several senior U.S. officials said the administration is eyeing a soon-to-be-shuttered state maximum security prison in Michigan and the military penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., as possible locations for a heavily guarded site to hold the suspected 229 al-Qaida, Taliban, and foreign fighters now jailed at Guantanamo.
The president has said some detainees will be tried in civilian courts, some in military commissions, and some will be held without trial because they are simply too dangerous but the evidence against them cannot be aired in any courtroom.
The proposed Midwest facility would operate as a hybrid prison system jointly operated by the Justice Department, the military and the Department of Homeland Security.
Both the Justice and Pentagon plans face legal and logistical problems.
If a significant number of civilian trials were to be held in the Midwest, the government might have to send in prosecutors and judges experienced in terrorism cases, and lawyers for the detainees could object to the jury pool.
Such a plan would also require an expensive upgrade of the facilities in Kansas or Michigan, and it's unclear if there is enough time for such work under the president's deadline.
But trying them on the East Coast could generate more of the kind of public opposition that led Congress earlier this year to yank funding for bringing such detainees to U.S. soil until the administration produces an acceptable plan for shuttering the Guantanamo facility.
The Obama administration has already transferred one detainee to U.S. courts – Ahmed Ghailani was sent to New York in June to face charges he helped blow up U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998.

After attending over 40 tradeshows within the past year I have seen my fair share of the country. What I have really noticed is that almost everyone wears an ID badge! From the contractors used at the exhibit halls, to my taxi cab drivers, to the baggage handlers loading luggage onto the plane, everyone is wearing an ID badge!
The one ID accessory that I see being used the most by women is our new Rhinestone lanyard. These new, sparkly lanyards have made it fun and stylish for woman to wear their IDs. We recently gave these lanyards away at the SHRM conference in Chicago and our booth was almost overrun by human resource professionals wanting these shiny gems!
The most popular ID badge accessory I see being used by men are our carabiner badge reels. These badge reels are sturdy and dependable and allow you to wear your ID badge on your belt loop and then clip onto your keys so that you don't forget the ID the next day. Make sure to check our carabiner badge reel supply as we also have reels that have a measuring tape and flashlight built into them!
One of the most rewarding things about being on the road promoting IDville is running into current customers who have one of our ID Maker ID systems. It's great to hear them rave about their ID Maker system being easy to use while allowing them to make a professional badge that no other system can create. Customers are always quick to flip open their purse or wallet to show me their ID and how they designed it with their logo and artwork. Many of the customers that I worked with as they chose an ID printer use the custom card design that I originally made for them per their request!
Interested in an ID system and want to see a custom ID card design with your logo? Fill out your info here and one of our sales reps will contact you ASAP.
I will be at the following shows over the next couple of weeks. Stop in and say hello!

As you begin to design ID cards for your organization, you should consider how your employees, students, or staff will wear their cards. After all, if your ID cards aren't used by your employees, they won't do your organization much good! Consider badge reels, a convenient and functional option for wearing ID cards, for every member of your team.
Badge reels extend up to 36 inches, so they are a preferred ID card accessory if you need to swipe a card for door access. They can also be worn in a variety of places. Employees can choose to attach their badge reel on a belt, pocket, or purse. Badge reels keep ID cards and keys secure by keeping items close to the body and visible to others.
You can choose from several badge reel attachments to find the one that will work best for your organization. Most badge reels come with a metal slide clip or swivel clip attachment, but IDville also offers a plastic clip for a more comfortable wear against skin. Carabiner clip and belt strap attachments fasten to belts and belt loops without marking belts or clothes.
Badge Reels in Schools. Teachers and staff can choose a fashion badge reel to display their ID badge at school. The unique designs promote the teaching profession, cancer awareness, working with children, or individual flair. The fun designs will be more appealing to both the staff and the students.
Badge Reels in Healthcare. Children's hospitals and pediatrician's offices can take advantage of fun animal shaped badge reels to distract young patients in the exam room. Hospital employees will also appreciate the medical badge reel with a plastic clip that provides a more comfortable fit on scrubs or against skin. The retractable cord also makes it easy to swipe for door access or to buy a cup of coffee in the hospital cafeteria.
Badge Reels in Manufacturing and Construction. Badge reels are a great option for manufacturing or construction workers. The function of a badge reel keeps the ID card close to the body and out of the way. Plus, heavy duty designs are a long-lasting option for these tough industries. New badge reel options also include helpful tools, such as an LED light and tape measure, that can be useful in any work environment.

ID cards are an important part of an organization's safety and security plan, but they can also be used for the "lighter" side of business: promoting your culture.
This month's Identify Newsletter introduced our sister company, Baudville, and how to combine its employee recognition products with identification and safety for a better work environment. You can read the complete newsletter here, and put a few of the following tips in to practice in the new year!
Promote your culture with ID cards:
Use your ID card design to show off the personality of your organization. Incorporate a picture of a favorite spot within your facility, use lots of color and allow individuals to have a little fun with their ID picture.
Equip all employees or students with fun accessories for ID card display. Create custom lanyards for your organization. You can even personalize each lanyard with staff names! Themed lanyards and themed badge reels can also promote your culture and bring a little fun to every day at work.
Maintain a small inventory of themed lanyards and badge reels, and give employees access to it. Encourage employees to select a new item on a regular basis. This will help to keep them motivated to wear their ID card.
Have employees, staff or students display their recognition and award lapel pins on a specialty badge holder. Pin Display badge holders hold both your ID card and lapel pins.

Here are it's specs:
