Tips for a Happy Carbondale Apartment

Daily Egyptian at SIU Carbondale
Lease agreements lost in translationLauren Leone Elaine Conrad said miscommunication between the tenant and the resident is one of the main factors that lead to unreturned or delayed security deposits. Conrad, community programs coordinator, works specifically with international students who have difficulty getting their security deposits back. Conrad also helps students understand their rights and responsibilities before signing a lease. "Leases can be difficult to understand, even when English is someone's first language," she said. Conrad said leasing policies differ from one apartment complex to another. She said some complexes have security deposits, which are to be paid beforehand, and some deposits are attached to the monthly rent. Conrad said a verbal agreement is not enough. "You can avoid any misunderstanding in the lease by asking questions, and getting anything agreed upon that's not in the original release, in writing," she said. Richard Hall, a lecturer in the finance department, said security deposits are a hot issue in Carbondale, but there is an Illinois state law that can help residents in the event a tenant holds a security deposit for an extended period of time. The Security Deposit Return Act explains what a landlord has to do when returning a security deposit, he said. The law applies to tenants of residential real property containing five or more units. This would include the larger apartment complexes in Carbondale such as Home Rentals, Lewis Park, and Saluki Apartments, Hall said. The law states the lessor, or landlord, has 30 days from the date the resident vacates the premises to supply an itemized statement of all damages and the estimated cost for repair. "That is from the date the premises is vacated, not the date of the end of the lease," Hall said. He said if the landlords do not supply a statement within 30 days, they are obligated by law to return the security deposit in its entirety within 45 days. This could lead to some tenants not seeing their deposits for nearly two months. Conrad said she stresses for students, national or international, to read every point of the lease and to find out if the security deposit is refundable or not beforehand. She said there could also be a cleaning deposit as opposed to a security deposit. Students need to take photos or have written record of any damages in the living space, she said. "If you can get them to sign off on that, or be present while you are taking pictures, that's the smartest thing to do," she said. Richa Asarawala, a graduate student studying electrical and computer engineering from India, lives in Campus Habitat and hasn't had any issues with her tenants. "Before signing a lease, they need to read the whole lease papers carefully," she said. "Not each and every lease is the same." Conrad said the Students' Legal Assistance Office, located on the 3rd floor of the Student Center, has representatives available when students need advice concerning legal issues with understanding apartment leases. Asarawala said students should be cautious when searching for apartments and not to rush into anything. "Before you sign the lease, they are very good with you, but after you sign the lease, they sometimes don't care for you at all," she said. Q: How much security A: All states allow landlords to collect a security deposit when the tenant moves in; the general purpose is to assure that the tenant pays rent when due and keeps the rental unit in good condition. Half the states limit the amount landlords can charge, usually not more than a month or two worth of rent — the exact amount depends on the state. Many states require landlords to put deposits in a separate account and some require landlords to pay tenants the interest on deposits. Q: What can a landlord A: Landlords may normally make certain deductions from a tenant's security deposit, provided they do it correctly and for an allowable reason. Many states require landlords to provide a written itemized accounting of deductions for unpaid rent and for repairs for damages that go beyond normal wear and tear, together with payment for any deposit balance. Q: Is the landlord required to return the security deposit? A: A tenant may sue a landlord who fails to return his or her deposit when and how required, or who violates other provisions of security deposit laws such as interest requirements; often these lawsuits may be brought in small claims court. If the landlord has intentionally and flagrantly violated the law, in some states, a tenant may recover the entire deposit — sometimes even two or three times this amount–plus attorney fees and other damages. |
Communication is key with new roomatesKent Aubry Daily Egyptian – November, 2011 It seems everyone knows someone who didn't get along with their roommate. Whether randomly selected or a best friend, two completely different people in one space can be a recipe for disaster. Being a roommate isn't an easy task for anyone, but having a roommate is an important experience which can help develop problem-solving abilities. Whether it's because they are self-centered, messy or just because they're too weird, there is always someone hard to tolerate. Although it may not seem like it at the time, living with a person like this provides a great learning lesson that cannot be taught in a classroom. Cooperation skills, generosity and patience can be learned by living side-by-side with an intolerable person. Even more importantly, it teaches a person how to take the high road when they would much rather commit murder. Learning how to deal with clashing personalities will inevitably help in the future when stuck with the intolerable co-worker, supervisor or parent-in-law. The random roommate process normally takes place the freshman year of incoming students. Colleges now try to match roommates by interests, habits and majors to better match people. Though this is better than a completely random pairing, it still doesn't ensure that there is enough in common to live together while maintaining sanity. In order to ensure an easy transition to living together, people should avoid certain practices. Don't be the roommate that takes over the entire place. Just because one roommate got there first doesn't entitle them to transform the entire place. It also doesn't entitle them to take the best room with the best window on the best side of the place. Transforming a room without the input of the other roommate makes the space only comfortable for one person. The best way to avoid a clash within the first ten minutes is to wait until all roommates are present before hanging posters, decorations, etc. Sharing a room requires an effort on both sides in order to build a bond between each other. Just because roommates live together doesn't mean they have to do everything together. The roommate that sticks like a leech following everything the other does can get annoying in a hurry. Sharing friends is fine, but it is important to have a separate friend group in order to keep space between each other. A boundary on borrowing is another essential aspect in regards to getting along with a roommate. Not everyone follows the "what's yours is mine" philosophy and it is important to set ground rules at the beginning. It is crucial that both roommates feel their belongings are safe and each roommate should discuss what things are off limits. Don't be a pig. Piles of old clothes, dirty dishes and bacteria-ridden trash can turn a living space into a dump quickly. Set up guidelines on whose turn it is to do which chores and stick to it. Whatever it may be, a dorm room, an apartment or a house, it is important to keep it functionally clean. It doesn't have to be showroom-ready at all times but it should, at a bare minimum, be tolerable. If living in a small apartment or dorm room, don't take up all the space. Keep the room comfortable for everyone and respect boundaries. Try not to invite people over the nights a roommate is studying. Don't wake up and start blasting music while a roommate is sleeping. Be considerate toward your roommate, and expect they be considerate toward you. No one wants to be intolerable as a person. No one wants to live with an intolerable person, either. Maintain good communication between each other and avoid driving each other insane. Set up guidelines and let each other know if something is irritating. Sharing a space with another person isn't easy to do, but with the correct amount of give and take, it can work. Students who are interested in living off campus should stop by the Students Legal Assistance Office on the third floor of the Student Center. The office provides a student with important legal information that should be known before signing a lease. |
Some apartment problems avoidableMary Beth Arimond Daily Egyptian – Februrary, 1996 Some students are starting to look for places to live next year, and they should learn some tips before signing a lease; otherwise, according to Students' Legal Assistance, they could run into landlord and roommate problems. The landlord problems began for Heather Hoydn when her neighbors played a trick one evening by shutting off the power from the main line, she said. However, as the power went out, so did the lights hovering over the parking lot. Hoydn, a senior in early childhood education from Bartlett, said she realized she was paying her landlord's electric bill along with her own. After ranting and raving, she finally received a refund on the difference of about $100 between her electric bill and her landlord's bill, she said. "I felt victimized when I rented from my landlord," Hoydn said. But, she said her problems were not over yet as one of her roommates pulled her into a financial disaster. "My roommate tried to live in my apartment for free," she said. "She didn't pay rent, and she delayed almost every utility bill by about a month. By the end of the first semester, she owed me a $1,000." Hoydn said she finally got her money back after kicking her roommate out, but she still had to pay for her roommate's bounced checks and had to search for a new roommate to help cover utility costs. To avoid these kinds of problems, students should visit the SIUC Tenant-Landlord Union or Students' Legal Assistance on the third floor of the Student Center to pick up a 30-page booklet on what tenants should look for before signing a lease with a landlord and their prospective roommates, Scott Pfeiffer, USG chief of staff, said. Pfeiffer said the booklet suggests that students find out the background of the landlord. It informs students on how to understand and read the lease. The booklet also has a section on how to avoid being taken advantage of when a roommate leaves, he said. "One tip the booklet gives is students should settle any financial matters before the other roommate leaves," Pfeiffer said. Larry Schultz, law clerk for SIUC Students' Legal Assistance, said students could be victimized if they have little experience or knowledge of renting property. Schultz said if students have legal problems with their landlord, they should refer to Students' Legal Assistance. "We go over the general facts of the situation between the landlord and the tenant," he said. "Once we determine the legal rights, we advise them the advantages of out-of-court settlements and the consequences of being successfully sued." Schultz said his office does not handle student-to-student conflicts. He said for this type of service, students should go to Alternative Dispute Resolution, a service in the SIU School of Law. "It's an organization that helps folks who would rather not litigate," he said. "Students usually realize they can't afford to sue or be sued." Schultz said most universities have offices dedicated solely to helping off-campus housing residents, but that is not the case at SIUC. Sharon Hammer, Carbondale city attorney, said students should do research on landlords and roommates before they sign a lease."Students could learn which landlords have a bad reputation and should know their roommates' financial history," Hammer said. She said students should create a checklist of what should be in the apartment and what is broken upon moving into an apartment. "They should walk through the apartment or house with the person they will rent from," she said. "If they won't come along, then students should take photographs of anything they could be charged for, so if the landlord charges students for a ripped carpet, they have a better argument to get their deposit back." Hammer said students should ask for a blank copy of the lease and read over it very carefully before signing it. She said students might be able to negotiate certain terms of the lease. "Landlords are willing to alter leases with tenants if they are responsible and won't tear up the place," she said. Bonnie Owen, said many of the misunderstandings she has with her tenants arise when tenants do not read leases thoroughly. "My leases are very comprehensive," Owen said. "My staff goes through the lease with the students, and they explain to them what they need to pay." Darren Pierson, supervisor of Home Rentals, said anyone who wants a copy of the lease can get one, and they should take it seriously. "Everyone should read the lease, realize it's a document and know they are going to deal with Home Rentals for the next 12 months," Pierson said. |

To all the folks that have contacted me to tell me healthcare reform isn't free, I know. From a comment on my Healthcare Reform Benefits page,"Lots of benefits and everything is free…NOT!". People against the Affordable Care Act (ACA) don't like the references to no charge/no cost preventive office visits to screen for diseases. In addition, they are concerned about the mounting debt that it might create.
Did I say life was free and easy?
First, healthcare reform is not free and no one ever said it was. How many government owned, operated or regulated services and products do we interact with every day that are paid for with taxes, but for which we don't actually receive a specific invoice.
- Roads
- Bridges
- Clean rivers and lakes
- Clean air
- K – 12 public school system
- Homeland security
- Afghanistan war
- Iraq war
Where are the howls of protest to these "free" items. "Oh, please give me back polluted rivers and streams, the cost of clean water is killing me." That is a response to free public goods I have not heard. Unlike the above public free goods, individuals and families will receive a specific invoice every month or deduction just for health insurance.
So many sleepless nights worrying about profits
But the area that I see the absolute most philosophical disconnection is the defense of the insurance companies. From the page comments, "The insurers have to eat the cost of first-dollar preventive care services and how do they recoup their new expenses? What other choice do they have besides raising premiums." Oh, please excuse me while I entrust my health to a company that at its core is guided by shareholder ROI.
My insurance company is smarter than my doctor
The larger philosophical question is if we accept that business decisions should be a governing factor in determining health care outcomes? We are very insistent that doctors and patients should be making healthcare decisions, but we abdicate this position when it comes to acquiring health insurance.
Health insurance has become the de facto gatekeeper to healthcare services. Without insurance you can't get comprehensive care. The big question is how much of your healthcare decisions do you want dictated by business? Is it "OK" for an insurance company to deny a life saving procedure because it would cost them too much money?
Did you just say that!
Folks, please look at what you are saying and writing. You are implying that business is more important than the welfare of your neighbor. Really? Are you serious? Much of the ACA is centered around preventive medicine. There is no argument that catching cancer early has better patient outcomes and cost less money. Yes, this costs money. But we shouldn't be tripping over dollars to pick up a dime.
If you can't get insurance or it is too expensive, then you have a high probability of never even having a doctor-patient relationship. Is it a family friendly policy that allows insurance companies not to cover the basis of humanity: child birth? Insurance companies currently have the right not to cover maternity in their individual plans in several states.
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Another argument that gets thrown at me is the ACA is job killing like this from a Facebook post.
"I do blame the President for the job killing ACA."Let's see we our having the biggest economic downturn in our lifetime, what shall I do? I know! I will propose a massive new piece of legislation that will cost a ton of money and make employers afraid to hire anybody!!!!!"
Health insurance is evil, IBM just doesn't know it
If any employer who doesn't hire a necessary employee because of the ACA is out of touch with reality. The ACA is partially responsible for hiring in the healthcare services market place today. These jobs can't be sent to another country. Plus, if offering healthcare to your employees is so expensive and evil why do all of the major U.S. corporations do it?
There is ample evidence that providing health insurance to your employees results in higher productivity and profits. While all the doomsayers are screaming about the cost of the ACA, they need to look at how good basic healthcare has helped them or their families remain productive.

Oh I love this!
Had to swap for it because it seems to be pulled from the shelves : /
A very pretty sheer frosty pink/lilac color.
It smells yummy, tastes yummy, I love vanilla mint anything!
Doesn't last long, but it's so cheap!
Great gloss, definitely pick it up if you can find it!
(And if you hate it you can send yours to me : )
This is my favourite lip gloss ever. The texture, the frosty white with pink iridescence, and the taste, MY GOD, the taste... vanilla mint. Nothing lifts my spirits and my mood like this baby. It blankets my lips in a soft, cool, tingly, sweet, minty pillow. It's a total turn on. I found it online at the Smackers website 2 for 1. Needless to say I stocked up. Candy Cane Smackers is my favourite stick Smacker second only to this gloss.
More reviews by riotingpacifist
I first had this flavor in liquid lip smacker, and I wanted to make sweet love to whoever thought up the flavor. It's like a thin mint girlscout cookie. But then the liquid dissappeared so I turned to this. Same flavor, except frosting is more sparkly and matte, while the liquid is more flat-out shiny. I can't find this flavor anymore though, which makes me very very sad.
very smooth and creamy, it tastes like it says - vanilla mint. reminds me of those mints that melt away in your mouth. very nice consistancy - smooth and not sticky at all. lasts a while and for a few bucks, not bad at all. comes in a squeeze tube, so you can make it last a while.
wow, this smells excataly like those pastel after dinner mints. this lip frosting has a nice pinkish iredescent, but if you put too much on it turns to blue iredecent. so unless you like the hypothermic look, then id stick to light application. *update* Now, i really liked this gloss, but so did my dog. He ate it. :-( i want to repurchase but i can't find it anywhere. The stores only seem to have strawberry, Whippedcream and Birthday cake. *tear*
I purchased this product for about$3.99 CDN. I love it. It is not as flavourful or fragrant as the Strawberry but what I do smell is nice and pleasant :) A sugary pepperminty type of flavour. I use this gloss as a moisturizing agent around the house. It makes me feel cute and puts me in a great mood : )
I bought this based on the reviews here & I'm not disappointed! Leaves a pretty pearly blueish-pink sheen on my lips. Thin formula of gloss has already been mentioned but that's why I like it. It feels very moisturizing! I can't wait to get some more!
Pink 'nilla Mint has a wonderful candy-cane scent and gives lips the perfect shade of light pearly-peppermint pink. This one is a bit tingly on lips but not numbing, and is it not as tingly as the Enticemint glosses can be. It has the same texture as all Frostings, very thin and non-sticky. Lip Frostings are great cheap gloss pick-me-ups!
This has definitely replaced Birthday as my favorite Lip Frosting. It smells and tastes wonderfully minty with sugary undertones, like a candy cane. It's pink and white in the tube, and the combination turns a beautiful slightly frosty hybrid of the two colors on my lips. It looks similar to the Birthday & Buttercream Frostings, only less white and more pink. The consistency is a bit thin, which makes for minimal staying power... but this is so great, I don't really care! Because it is minty, it has a nice cooling effect. I'm definitely very pleased with this gloss!
This stuff is excellent -- or should I say exce-MINT? I am a SUCKER for mint-flavored items, and I love vanilla too, so vanilla and mint -- what a combo. And PINK, no less!
This smelled and tasted less like frosting and more like candy -- scrumptious, creamy candy, like a gourmet after-dinner mint, and it felt delightfully tingly on my lips. I love that tingle.
The color was a frosty, delicate candy-mint pink that made my lips look kissable and tender. The effect was a combination of the Molly Ringwald pretty-in-pink look and the light-n-frosty look popularized by a certain Jennifer L. (Jenny. You know, from the Block?)
This fragrant, flavorful, fun and frosty elixir would make a GREAT kissing aid. (Mint and vanilla! Yum! Plus, this rich cocktail of soothing emollients leaves my lips as soft as a petal, which always scores points with the chicos!)

Just yesterday, Google started selling the Galaxy Nexus on its Play store. The news caught many off guard - not only had Google not done anything of the sort for quite some time, but the price ($399) was surprisingly low for an unlocked, contract-free device. Unfortunately, however, there was a catch: namely, the gadget was still subject to all the usual taxes and shipping fees (at least in all the states we tested - CA, TX, KY, MN, and likely many others), bringing the total cost up by almost $50.
Motorola's Xoom, the first Honeycomb tablet on the market, is still a powerful piece of technology, packing much of the same hardware we've come to love in other Honeycomb tablets. The Xoom's 32GB variant normally goes for a solid $499, but today 1saleaday.com is offering the original Honeycomb tablet for a discounted price of $399 with $5 in shipping charges.
For those who need a refresher, here's what the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi packs under its 10.1" frame:
- NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor
- Rear 5MP camera/2MP front-facing camera
- 1280x800 pixel screen at 150ppi
- 32GB Internal storage (with microSD port for extra storage)
- Android 3.2 Honeycomb
If you've been waiting for your chance to get the Motorola Xoom at a discount, you've got until 12 midnight (EST) to grab this deal at1saleaday.
Looks like at least one company got the MeMO (pun intended) on tablet pricing - ASUS just announced that the Eee Pad Transformer will start at a mere $399. Now, that'll buy you a 16GB model; if you want to step the gigabyte count up to 32, you'll have to shell out an additional $100, raising the price to $499. Still, even when you take into account the fact that the $149 keyboard dock isn't included, that's not a bad deal at all - in fact, both prices shave a benjamin off what Apple will charge for an equivalent iPad 2.
When it comes to Tegra 2-powered Android tablets, the Notion Ink Adam, the Viewsonic G, and Motorola's upcoming Honeycomb tablet are all the rage, but a small company called Stream TV would like to remind you that it's got a dual-core tablet of its own. Indeed, Stream TV is now shipping its eLocity A7 tablet, complete with a 7-inch display, Android 2.2 Froyo, and of course, the aforementioned nVidia Tegra 2 processor.
It all started as a despicable rumor, but now AT&T's charged ahead and made it official - its version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab will indeed cost $649, which is $50 more than the other carriers' versions and $30 more than the cheapest 3G-capable iPad. Disappointing as that may seem, a $50 virtual gift card for Samsung's Media Hub is included, as is a bunch of bloatware nobody wants (sigh).
Earlier this week, BGR leaked a likely $399 on-contract price tag for the Sprint's version of the upcoming Galaxy Tab. Today, TmoNews dug up some slides showing T-Mobile's version of the tablet coming with the same $399 price tag (on a 2-year contract of course), albeit after a $50 rebate. The version that will free you from the carrier's firm grip will make you part with an additional $250 and cost a whopping $649.99.

JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS Sunday, 24 February 2002 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. Today, the second Sunday of Lent, the Church offers us again the Gospel account of the transfiguration of Christ. Before facing the passion and cross, Jesus went "up a high mountain" (Mt 17,1), commonly identified as Tabor, together with the apostles Peter, James and John. He "was transfigured" before them: His face and whole person shone with light.
Life changes when the heart has been "conquered" by Christ. The most generous and lasting choices are the fruit of a deep and prolonged union with God in prayerful silence. 3. We ask Our Lady of Silence, who knew how to preserve the light of faith even in the darkest hours, for the grace of a Lent that comes alive with prayer. May Mary enlighten our hearts and help us to follow faithfully in every circumstance God's plan. © Copyright 2002 - Libreria Editrice Vaticana |

Thank you very much ! I had never ran across that supplier before. I ordered a couple and will be waiting for them anxiously :) |
I've ordered a few from them and though they are kind of small, they are healthy and grow well. I still have all of the ones I bought from them four or five years ago. In fact, I'm trying to restrain myself from ordering because he has several I would really like to have. Resistance is futile? Karen |

Casita Azul has them for $12.99. I've ordered from them quite a bit and have been pleased. They have a wonderful selection of heuchera, heucherella and tiarella. The plants are a bit small, but always grow great for me. 'Solar Eclipse' is a heucherella. I have it and really like it. |

same with FF. Casita Azul has been my choice for heucheras for the last 4 years for plants that I can't find in local nurseries. Very reliable service and healthy plants. For older varieties, they typically ship bigger plants (3 inch pot with deep roots). I found out for newer varieties, it may take longer. All of them establish quickly and grow well in my garden. |
I just ordered four heucheras and a heucherella. I couldn't resist. I could have bought more, but I had to be very choosy since I'm not made of money. Three of them are the Little Cuties variety. Not sure where I'm going to plant them, I may have to take out more lawn (weeds). Oh darn! Karen |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8a (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 11:55
I like the Little Cuties series. Which ones did you buy? I have 'Blondie', 'Frost', 'Gotham' and 'Sweet Tart'. They all grow well for me. I used to have 'Gingersnap', but it was a major dud. 'Frost' is by far my favorite out of all of the little ones. |
I ordered Blondie, Sweet Tart, and Sugar Berry. The other heuchera is Glitter and the heucherella is Honey Rose. I wanted all of the Little Cuties but my bank account wouldn't allow. I think Gingersnap was sold out (where I ordered my heucheras from), but that one didn't grab me so much. It was a toss up between Frost and Sugar Berry. I have Sugar Plum, which I think from the pictures Sugar Berry looks to be a miniature version. I love those color types. Heucheras and their kin are as addictive as hostas and daylilies to me. And for some reason this year phlox are really grabbing me. Karen |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8a (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 17:12
I've seen 'Sugar Berry' at a local nursery and it's very striking in color. I don't think you'll be disappointed! I also have 'Glitter'. It's not a mini, but I find it to be on the small side of heuchs. I like it very much. The silver over the purple makes it a standout. I agree...heuchera and friends are terribly addicting! I have over 100 varieties, so my case is a hopeless one. I'm not sure I even want to change, though. Speaking of addiction...here's a picture of 'Frost' to get you going! I love it so much that I think every garden should have one. |
I really wanted to get that one too because I love purple so much. Maybe next time. Yours is a beauty. Karen |

I got home late today to find my Solar Eclipse from IN The Country waiting for me... All I can say is one is bigger than I expected, the other HUGE...I planted them in the last light and watered them a bit as I believe they were in the mail for a few days... I caged them in case some mentally disturbed rabbit gets any ideas before they ( the plants) even get a chance to breath the summer air in my yard. |
Mentally disturbed rabbit. lol! My order from them should be here in the next day or so. Do you have pictures? I'll show you mine when they come if you'll show me yours. Oh, heck, I'll show them anyway. :) Karen |
- Posted by leafwatcher zone 5 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 24, 14 at 13:25
Those are some nice sized plants. Hope mine are about that size, but I have three coming that are supposed to be little ones, so I expect those to be little. Once they get settled in they'll perk up. Karen |
- Posted by leafwatcher zone 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 25, 14 at 1:06
Make it so ! ;) |
Well, my order got mixed up with someone else's. I contacted the nursery to let them know. Although they are supposed to be gone for a hosta convention for the next few days, I'm hoping they get in contact with me soon. Karen |
- Posted by leafwatcher zone 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 25, 14 at 23:30
That is disappointing, I used to order live fish to be picked up at the airport... That will STRESS you out when things go wrong as well ! |
I ordered half a dozen heuchs among other plants at santa Rosa gardens for $2.99 and they sent me 2 solar eclipses as a gift. |
- Posted by nutmeg4061 5b (My Page) on Fri, Jun 27, 14 at 23:41
I ordered 8 heuchs and some other plants from the Santa Rosa sale and they sent me a teeny PowWow Wild Berry coneflower as a free gift. |
I ordered 15 plants from them and didn't get a free plant. I always get shafted. Karen |

Nice... |

Karen I have that kind of luck some times ... I just figure they know the kind of magic my green thumbs have and they are nervous ;) My Solar Eclipse have settled in nicely.... |
Good to hear! I have mine in pots still. They'll probably stay there for a while yet until I can find a place for them. The heucherella has a small root system so it'll probably remain in the pot until the end of summer when it can have the chance to grow more roots and I can keep a better eye on it. Once plants are in the ground they are mostly on their own. Here are my new heuchies. The back five and the one in the front left came from In The Country, they are (left to right): Heucherella Honey Rose, heucheras Sugar Berry, Sweet Tart, Glitter, Blondie, and Peppermint. The dark one, Blackout, came from Santa Rosa Gardens. The last one is my poor little Southern Comfort I nearly lost that I've been rooting. All there was left of it this spring were two small pieces of crown and no roots. Both were doing okay but then suddenly the tinier crown got eaten or something and I think it's a goner, but the bigger piece is slowly growing. Karen |

A rabbit visited one of the eclipse plants last night.. ggggrrrrrr |
Stupid bunnies. And deer. I've been doing some planting at the memorial garden at the cemetery this year and I've had to deal with the critters eating the plants. Some are supposed to be plants the critters will not like to eat, but the few I have out there that aren't so deer safe have been nibbled on, some to the ground. I guess I can either move them to my yard and plant something else, or get deer and rabbit repellent. You would think with all of the other foliage out there this time of the year they would eat that instead, but the brats like to target our gardens. Karen |
- Posted by leafwatcher zone 5 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 24, 14 at 1:12
I had to cage the larger of my two Solar Eclipse.. the rabbits had turned it into the new SMALLER one. I have three of those little pipsqueaks at least in the yard again.. the one out front is quick.. but he is predictable.. that could be his down fall ;) |

I'll be honest, rose lovers -- it's going to be hard for me to recap this portion of the episode for you because I literally (and I mean literally literally, not figuratively literally) could not get through more than three seconds at a time without hitting pause and yelling "Oh my God oh my God oh my GOD!" at my TV. But I'll do my best:
"You light a fire inside his eyes -- it's true," croons Carly in a clear, not unpleasant voice, as Zak strums the guitar. "You've given hope that love survives..." At first it looks like Des wants to make Zak's dream a reality by melting into the couch and disappearing while all of this is going on, but she's nearly moved to tears recounting the scene to Team Bachelorette later. "It was such a special moment to hear Zak's sister and brother sing a song that Zak wrote for me. It's a moment I'll never forget," she says, her voice breaking. "Those words, like, hit my heart." Indeed, the song seems to have been crafted for maximum guilt inducement -- I mean, how is she supposed to give Zak the boot after his brother and sister belt out, "Oh Desiree now we can see/ your place among our family!"
And if that wasn't enough pressure, suddenly Zak produces a ring he bought for Des in Atlantic City. "I wanted something to, like, symbolize -- that moment, I knew I was falling in love with you," he tells the Bachelorette, whose face has turned beet-red from the effort it's taking her not to cry. "Des, I love you. I do."
Our next stop is Scottsdale, Arizona, where Drew awaits the love of his life in a parking lot. From there they find a rare patch of green and relax in the shade as Drew explains the complicated family dynamics Des is about to experience. It seems everyone's going to gather at Drew's mom Linda's house, which she shares with his step-dad, Bob. His dad Mal (short for Malachi) will be there, too. "This is the first time my dad will have ever been in my mom's house," Drew says with a nervous giggle. "You know, they're... they're on good terms." (You keep telling yourself that, pal.) Before they head to meet the parents, however, Drew needs to pick up his sister Melissa, who is "severely mentally handicapped," at her home.
You know, Drew might not be the most masculine guy, and he might rival Pauly D in the hair product use and abuse department, but it's truly moving to see what a loving, devoted brother he is to Melissa. As her caregiver leads her out into the yard, Melissa is so overwhelmed with excitement and emotion at the sight of her brother that she can't stop squeezing his hand and rocking with delight. She gives Desiree's long brown locks a playful flick ("She likes hair," explains Drew), and then they're off to Linda's house, where eleven people -- including Drew's cute little blonde niece Erin and a chubby-cheeked baby boy -- await.
NEXT: Batter up!

Some athletes say that creatine monohydrate helps build muscle mass and improves performance and delays muscle fatigue during short-duration, high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting or weight lifting.
Creatine is best for the serious bodybuilder. It helps increase muscle mass, rather than muscle endurance, so it's not well suited for athletes participating in endurance activities. However, the increase in muscle mass may be due to water retention and not an increase in muscle tissue.
Over 40 double-blind or controlled studies have found creatine supplementation (typically 136 mg per pound of body weight per day or 15 to 25 grams per day for five or six days) improves performance of either single or repetitive bouts of short-duration, high-intensity exercise lasting under 30 seconds each.1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 Examples of this type of exercise include weightlifting; sprinting by runners, cyclists, or swimmers; and many types of athletic training regimens for speed and power. About 15 studies did not report enhancement by creatine of this type of performance. These have been criticized for their small size and other research design problems, but it is possible that some people, especially elite athletes, are less likely to benefit greatly from creatine supplementation.8
Long-term use of creatine supplementation is typically done using smaller daily amounts (2 to 5 grams per day) after an initial loading period of several days with 20 grams per day. Very little research has been done to investigate the exercise performance effects of long-term creatine supplementation. One study reported that long-term creatine supplementation improved sprint performance.9 Four controlled long-term trials using untrained women,10 trained men,11 or untrained older adults found that creatine improved gains made in strength and lean body mass from weight-training programs.12 , 13 However, two controlled trials found no advantage of long-term creatine supplementation in weight-training football players.14 , 15
Little is known about long-term side effects of creatine, but no consistent toxicity has been reported in studies of creatine supplementation. In a study of side effects of creatine, diarrhea was the most commonly reported adverse effect of creatine supplementation, followed by muscle cramping.16 Some reports showed that kidney, liver, and blood functions were not affected by short-term higher amounts17 , 18 or long-term lower amounts 19 , 20 of creatine supplementation in healthy young adults. In a small study of people taking 5–30 grams per day, no change in kidney function appeared after up to five years of supplementation.21 However, interstitial nephritis, a serious kidney condition, developed in an otherwise healthy young man, supplementing with 20 grams of creatine per day.22 Improvement in kidney function followed avoidance of creatine. Details of this case strongly suggest that creatine supplementation triggered this case of kidney disease. Creatine supplementation may also be dangerous for people with existing kidney disease. In one report, a patient with nephrotic syndrome (a kidney disorder) developed glomerulosclerosis (another serious kidney condition) while taking creatine. when the creatine was discontinued, the glomerulosclerosis resolved.23
Muscle cramping after creatine supplementation has been anecdotally reported in three studies.24 , 25 , 26
Certain medicines interact with this supplement.
Creatine is produced naturally in the human liver, pancreas, and kidneys. It is concentrated primarily in muscle tissues, including the heart. Animal proteins, including fish, are the main source of the 1–2 grams per day of dietary creatine most people consume. Supplements in the form of creatine monohydrate are well absorbed and tolerated by the stomach.

Audience Reviews
True story or not, its definitely a great one & surely worth a watch. Not that its flawless; it surely does have its share of loose ends. But the loose ends weren't enough to put me off the hook. The movie boasts of a huge cast, & fortunately each one have given their best (or so it seemed to me). As far as the controversy regarding it being based on real events is concerned, IMO its all as much real as The Blair Witch Project. Thankfully unlike TBWP, we had some intriguing story going on here & didn't have to put up with idiotic shaky camera work (that's not as much a problem though, if the proceedings are engaging as in Rec]). Finally, though a bit flawed, it was surely worth my time. Go for it; see if it manages to get deep into your blood!!!

An amazing film that is both perfectly cast and epicly told. Brad Pitt and Jason Patrick led a flawless cast that all gave tremendous performances. Kevin Bacon was especially disturbing. The mood of the film is what makes it so beautiful. All of the visuals reflect a dying city with little hope, much like the lives of the four leads.

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
From: stylemeprettyliving.com
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup cold butter
1 cup milk
Pink food coloring
Heart shaped cookie cutter
Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle flour on a large cutting or pastry board and set aside.
1. Chop the butter into small pieces, then place back in the refrigerator to chill.
2. Add several drops of food coloring to milk and stir thoroughly until color is evenly mixed, then set aside. (The pink color will be lighter when mixed with the other ingredients, so make the milk slightly darker than the result you want to see).
3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add in the chopped butter and use a pastry blender or two knives to continue cutting the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the pink milk until the dough takes shape (don?t overmix).
4. Place the dough on the floured board and knead a few times. Don?t knead more than you have to or the biscuits will become tough! Roll the dough out to about 1? thick. Cut out the biscuits with heart cookie cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake for 13-15 minutes and let cool before serving.Read MoreLess

Even the word brings feelings of power, fear, intimidation and fascination. Without question, guns are the great equalizers. Regardless of personal strength, speed, or agility, a person holding a gun commands (demands) respect; a respect backed up by indisputable power.
This power comes from the earned respect of metal and plastic or wood that has been perfectly designed to kill, wound and injure. The power given to an individual whose hand is on a trigger is virtually unlimited. Life and death are at the mercy of a few ounces of pressure. Even children who have experienced a lifetime of feeling weak easily discover the strength that pointing a gun brings.
Bullies who have pushed them around, popular kids who have shunned them, teachers who have ignored them, and parents who have ridiculed them suddenly become respectful and subservient.
Is it any wonder that such power is so enticing, so tempting, so luring? This power mixed with years of pain and frustration can turn deadly, especially in the United States where loaded guns are readily accessible to our children. We lead the world when it comes to children killing other children with guns.
Currently, 85 percent of all childhood deaths by firearms occur in the United States. The overall firearm-related death rate among American children less than 15 years of age is yearly 12 times higher than that of children from the other top 25 industrialized nations.
Even faced with these realities, many families continue to believe that if a child is taught how to use a gun and to respect it, then a child will not harm himself or others. This is probably a reasonable belief if (and only if) the child is emotionally stable, shows no signs of curiosity and is not subject to impulsive acts. Our statistics tend to indicate such children are rare, if they exist at all.
Of course, it's not just children who are irresponsible with guns. Living in a nation that possesses enough firepower to destroy the world several times over, many individuals appear to believe that their homes need to be stocked with enough firepower to match whatever potential threat might come along.
Anger and fear become a way of life that needs only the appropriate situation to emerge for violence to explode. These explosions have become so common in our larger cities that foreign countries now routinely warn travelers to beware of violence in America. Understandably, America is no longer viewed as safe. We are frightened and we are armed.
Regardless of what programs may be developed to address the problem of violence in America, I'm guessing there will always be bullies and thugs who are quite willing and happy to deprive us of our lives and livelihoods, given half a chance.
Perhaps the only safeguard from such individuals is to protect ourselves. Why allow someone with an underdeveloped (if any) conscience deprive us of our own life, the lives of those we love, or our belongings? There seems to be no advantage in doing so, either for ourselves or for them.
However, most perpetrators of violence are neither bullies nor thugs. Rather, most perpetrators of violence tend to be confused, frustrated, hurting individuals who can be reached. How we reach such individuals is important.
We tend to want to use power and intimidation, but power and intimidation only serve to push these individuals closer to the edge of a cliff, bringing disastrous consequences for all of us.
Instead, we need to do a much better job of addressing the confusion, frustration, and pain such individuals are feeling. We need to show that there are other pathways for managing our anger and hurt, always being mindful that there are usually peaceful solutions to our relationship problems.
There is much at stake here. Our failures become the failures of our children, which then will become the failures of their children.
Without question, guns make a statement.
The question becomes, "Are guns the statement we want to make?"

Hi all,
I am a newbie to your site but hoping you might be able to hep me and my ex battery chicken - I have had her for 3 months now.
Yesterday I noticed Myrtle was sat down and hunched up in the outside run and so I went to and checked her and she walked off so I thought perhaps she was having a rest.
Well later in the day I checked the chicken house and she was tucked up in the nest box with her head down under her chin so to speak.
I picked her up and brought her in and her crop was hard.
Now I did not know what to do and so this is what I have read so far on the net and don't know where to go from here and thought someone could help me.
I gave her 2 syringes of water and massaged her crop.
I kept her in the kitchen - she had a watery poo about 5 minutes later
About 10 minutes later I gave her a syringe of olive oil and massaged the crop and it seems to loosen and soften but was still a lump.
I left her for a few minutes and then I picked her up, turned her upside down and massaged her crop.
She brought up a lot of brown water and one piece of sweetcorn - it did not smell at all and then I gave her a little water.
I placed her back into the house where she settled down for the night.
This morning the crop was still quite full but not hard, her breath is not smelly and so we brought her in and gave her a syringe of water.
She has been out with the others today and when I checked her this evening her crop feels gritty if that makes sense.
What do I do now - shall I take her to the vet
Do I seperate her for a few days and give her fresh water and live yogurt
Do I give her white maggots to clear the blockage
There are so many things on the net - do this, don't do this and I just want to do what is best for my lady and I don't want to loose her.
Please help

Reviewed Creamy Mushroom Risotto with Rosemary Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Aug 31, 2011 in Recipes on Cooking Channel
"Made this as written last night for my wife. It is pretty good. The tenderloin was excellent. The mushroom risotto was a little strong. Maybe it was my choice of mushrooms. The directions indicated dried mushrooms, so I grabbed the needed amount. I used 1/2 oz of shitake and 1/2 oz of cremini. My ristotto turned out darker than the picture...."

MANIPUR, India - The portrayal of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) in primary school book is inviting a storm of anger from Indian Muslims, amid calls for banning the blasphemous book.
Islam prohibits pictorial representation of Prophet Muhammad, Md Burhanuddin, president of Pangal Students Organization (PSO), told Daily News & Analysis on Monday, June 25.
A book prescribed for kindergarten in the north-eastern state of Manipur portrays a bearded man said to be the Prophet wearing turban and holding a book-like object.
One page of the book also carries pictures of the Prophet along with five other gods.
Though it was not prescribed by the Manipur government, the book is used at a number of private schools.
The controversial book, Prime General Knowledge, is published by Prime Publications and printed at Sangai Offset Printers in Imphal.
Once published, protests erupted in Manipur demanding withdrawal of the book and punishing the publishers and the author.
The protests were led by PSO as well as Manipur unit of Popular Front of India (PFI), who burnt copies of the book.
The PFI has demanded an immediate ban of the book.
The PSO said it would ban all books of Prime Publications if it failed to visit its office and apologize by Monday.
They have made a grave mistake, PSO advisor H Rahman said
But adopting violent means against them will be against Islam. We want them to come to us and apologize.
Muslim leaders in Manipur stressed that Islam prohibits depicting Prophet Muhammad in movies or pictures.
Nobody can create any picture of the Prophet, PFI's Manipur unit president Mufti Arshad Hussain said.
This is against Islam.
Burhanuddin, the PSO president, agreed.
"Muhammad was against portraits of himself and not creating his picture has become kind of a rule since then, he said.
According to Islam, there is no picture or photo of the Prophet. How can he be depicted when no one in the world knows how he looks? This is against Islam.
Islam strictly prohibits the depiction of the Prophet as blasphemous.
Cartoons of Prophet Muhammad sparked an international crisis in 2005, when a Danish daily published 12 drawings of a man said to be the prophet.
The drawings included one showing the prophet wearing a tomb-shaped turban and another showing him as a knife-wielding nomad flanked by shrouded women.
The cartoons were later reprinted by European newspapers on claims of freedom of expression, straining ties between the Muslim world and the West.Following the cartoons crisis, Muslims worldwide took many initiatives to remove widely circulated stereotypes about Islam in the West.

Cabin Fever
Obsessed with Russian architecture of the past, an antiques dealer turns his city apartment into a faithful re-creation of a traditional country dwelling
By Alexey Dorozhkin
Perestoronin transported an entire wall from a 19th-century isba to Moscow and installed it in his apartment, where it now divides the living room—furnished with antiques and traditional icons—and the library, in which books are stored in wall niches inspired by 17th-century Russian dwellings. The two spaces are linked by a dramatic new parquet floor, which was designed by Perestoronin.
When he couldn't find just the right antique element for his apartment, this artistic homeowner often created it himself. He hand-painted doors and cabinet fronts for his kitchen to match a group of folk-art ones that he found. He built a dramatic arched window in the master bedroom, where he also installed a wood ceiling reconstructed from a village house.
In a home filled with such wonders as a rare 17th-century wood table and antiques in the Petrine Baroque style dating from the reign of Peter the Great, one of the highlights is that staple of every Russian country cottage—the tiled stove. The one in Perestoronin's living room doesn't disappoint: The 18th-century stove is covered in blue-and-white delft-style tile. He found this hearth dismantled, and spent years tracking down tiles to fill in the gaps and restoring it to working condition. Today, even on the coldest of Russian days, it keeps his urban isba warm. Originally published in ELLE DECORATION Russia.

BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — It's estimated that over half of the kids in Louisiana are obese or overweight. One local family is doing what they can to help fight that statistic.
Shannon Cherry, her daughter Taylor and her son Corbin are organizing a 1K and 5K race to raise awareness for childhood obesity.
"A lot of times children are teased and sometimes they can become suicidal. This is something to make them healthier," said Shannon Cherry.
"I've seen people get picked on and I wish I could have helped," added Taylor.
The races will be held April 27 at Woodlawn Middle School running trail.

Please help solve a minor but very annoying problem with my TV. The picture is fine and all that but the on-screen display when you change channel does not go from the corner. For example, when i watch a dvd via scart, in the top right hand corner it says EXT1, or when i watch a normal tv channel through the normal aerial socket it has a number permanently there. This is very annoying as no matter what i do with the remote it will not disappear. Please help or I will throw it out the window. |

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On November 28, 2012, the CFTC issued its final clearing determination requiring certain credit default swaps and interest rate swaps be cleared by registered derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs). This is the CFTC's first clearing determination under the Dodd-Frank Act and will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Under the rules, market participants must submit a swap that is identified in the rule for clearing by a DCO as soon as technologically practicable and no later than the end of the day of execution. A DCO is required to post on its website a list of all swaps that it will accept for clearing and clearly indicate which of those swaps the CFTC has determined must be cleared. The CFTC will also post on its website a list of the swap classes required to be cleared.
The clearing requirement determination applies only to swaps currently cleared by four DCOs: CME, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear Europe, and LCH. Clearnet Ltd. Any swaps entered into prior to the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act or prior to the application of the clearing requirement are not required to be cleared. The determination does not apply to those persons who are eligible to elect an exception from clearing, such as non-financial entities hedging commercial risk who satisfy the applicable requirements.
