I am new to this, and I know I posted questions about two weeks ago, but I can't find my posting so I will start again. I need to move hyacynth, tulip, daffodil and grape hyacynth bulbs. It's now July and everything is gone, but I left the dead tulip leaves alone so I could tell where the bulbs are. I have no place to store bulbs that is cool and dry til winter so I need to know if I can replant them now. If I did find a cabinet ( I have a small pine cabinet in the bathroom) that I could use that would be dark, what is the best way to do this.
Also I have seeds from the hyacynths, what do I do with those? Help is much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi harmony7, Welcome to Garden Web and The Bulb Forum. I am new to this, and I know I posted questions about two weeks ago, but I can't find my posting so I will start again. Anyway...After bulbs are dug, they need to cure, as in allowed to dry in a shady or cool place where there is maybe some air movement. Once they are dry/cured, they can then be stored. I think you would be just as well off replanting them now, rather than storing them in a cabinet. I'm not sure about growing them from seed. I recently received some daffodil seed from a friend, and she said to just soak them overnight and then press them lightly into some seed starting mix...and wait. I have also read though that they should be chilled first. Maybe I will do part of them both ways. I imagine Hyacinth seeds would be treated the same as daffodils. I have read too that if grape hyacinth seeds are allowed to just fall if they aren't deadheaded that they will sprout and grow when the time is right. My guess is that they might sprout next spring after having the cold winter stratification. Sue |
I've dug bulbs and replanted them right after digging without any problems. Some years I need to redo a bed and the bulbs get dug along with everything else and then replanted. |

How Clint Mansell Brought 'Moon' Down to Earth For Three Nights in LA
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on April 12, 2012 | Comments (3)Los Angeles' Largo at the Cornet is a small venue where even the last row in the house is a good seat. There is no preferential treatment here, no seats sectioned off for "special" guests. In previous trips, I did the non-spoken eye move indicating that the two seats in my row were open to a tall man in a baseball cap (who I later realized was Rainn Wilson) proving that everyone here is equal, we have all gathered for the same reason and that unspoken knowledge makes the link between each person in the room (at least for those few hours) palpable. The man of the hour this particular night even pointed out that while he had put him on the guest list, he was not sure Moon director Duncan Jones had actually made it out only to have Jones confirm his presence by shouting, "I'm right here, mate!" from only a few seats down from me. This layout gives the sense of an intimate and unique experience that makes you feel like the artist is performing from the couch in your living room. There are no backstage passes here or over inflated egos, just a group of people who have come together for a common interest, and on this night it was the music of Clint Mansell.
Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington are Constantly on the Cusp of Infidelity in the Trailer for 'Last Night'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 24, 2011 | Comments (3)Oh, infidelity. Apparently it's tough to stay faithful when Eva Mendes and Guillaume Canet come knocking at your bedroom door. At least if you're Keira Knightley or Sam Worthington. Last Night is the directorial debut of The Jacket writer Massy Tadjedin, and if this trailer is any indication it looks like 1) it's fraught with internal strife and smart hand-wringing, and 2) Sam Worthington is getting a chance to act finally. This is the perfect teaser. Everything about it looks sharp, and it leaves the question of whether they will or won't cheat on each other dangled like a chocolate-dipped carrot maddeningly out of reach. Check it out for yourself:

What's an adjuvant?
The word adjuvant comes from a Latin word meaning "to help" or "to enhance" – and that's just what the Cervarix® adjuvant was designed to do. It's a component made from natural compounds that enhances your body's response to Cervarix® by providing stronger and longer protection.
Long-term protection against cervical cancer is important because:
- Women are at risk for cancer-causing HPV infections throughout their lives.
- Even if you have been exposed to HPV, your body doesn't develop long-term protection against it. That means, you could be infected again. Each time, there's a risk the virus won't go away and could lead to cervical cancer.
Studies are ongoing to determine the duration of protection. In clinical trials, sustained protection has been observed for up to 8.4 years after the first dose.

More reviews by allegro_barbaro
This has become my HG blush having used so many high end blushes such as Orgasm, Dandelion, Benetint etc. in the past. I got a Rimmel gift pack for having a letter printed in a magazine and this little gem was included.
~~~I think the packaging is great. More cosmetics companies should ditch the useless brushes/mirrors and opt for a more compact design.
~~~The slightly shimmery pale-pink colour is fantastic. I have a very light skin tone and this is the perfect shade to give life to my complexion without looking like I've been running for the bus. I use the mini-kabuki brush from TheBalm with it. It picks up and deposits the perfect amount of colour.
~~~As for the price? How could you go wrong?
~~~All in all, I will be using this for the forseeable future.

I really like this colour and wear it everyday. I never would have thought of wearing a colour this bright and cheery but took a chance. At this price why not? So now that I am hooked on it, why can't I find it anymore? Is it discontinued?? It would only figure - aren't all the best products discontinued?! Anyway, it has just the right amount of shimmer to to give your cheeks light but not too much in my opinion, wears pretty well lasting most of the day and at this price you can have an extra one for the purse or desk drawer especially with the efficient compact size. That brings me to my final comment about product packaging size. I'd very happily buy a Revlon Colorstay blush to replace this one except for the overly large package, who needs a pop out mirror and space for the crappy little brush they include that nobody ever uses but I'll save that for my Revlon review....

I'm on my second blush in this color. I really like the color and I feel that it looks good on my skin. I agree with someone else that said this may be reformulated because I don't remember it being so pigmented either. I do have to rub it in a bit with my fingers so that it doesn't look that bright. Overall, it is a great color and looks like a pink flush. The packaging is not that great. Both times I have purchased this, the cover comes off! I keep having to snap it back on after I use it. This of course causes a mess in my make up bag!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wish i could love this but i had some problems with it. The packaging was kinda hard to open. The color didn't show up on my skin (im black/white). It made my cheeks way lighter rather then giving off color. The only thing good really is that it is pretty cheap.

So I went to shopper's and found this very cheap sale on Rimmel!
Thought i would give it a try, i never used blush before, but thought why not?
I have to say that with the rimmel press powder, and this wonderful blush WOW it gives such a nice and clean look!
the blush is a perfect color not too dark, and really stays on all day!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this blush because it was CHEAP. I think it was about $3. I found the color to be really nice on my skin tone and was perfect. 20 mins later, I found the blush was gone! It faded nearly completely and I just wasted $3. The staying power of the blush is awful, but pigmentation was awful and it took several swipes to get it on my cheeks.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
umm... so, i like to use only a little bit of this for a light pink flush. not too much though... since it's sooo shimmery and makes your cheeks look like you've rubbed a shimmery cream shadow all over your cheeks. i would not purchase this again. i only use it sparingly when i mix it with my bare minerals blush.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
These rimmel blushes are AWFUL! When I put this one on, it looked great, but when I walked into light, i realized that it looked like i had piled glitter on my face. It was wayyyy too shimmery for me, and I think that although it is really cheap, the product itself is not good at all.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this blush! Great color and super great value. I've been using this for years. I think they reformulated in the last year or so because the one I bought last Fall is more pigmented. Its super soft and blendable and lasts throughout the day too. I love the subtle shimmer. I layer it with the sienna blush to warm up the 'coolness' and it suits my skin tone perfectly.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Other rimmel blushes have been a hit with me but this one is terrible. It's very very weakly pigmented and has far too much shimmer in it. I don't want to look like pale frosty pink with bumps! This blush can ruin the best foundation and powder job on your face if your trying to hide imperfections. Stay away from this pearly sheen color of 04 pink rose. It's not a nice skin flush color like it appears in the container. It's very pale and frosty and doesn't blend well.

This palm (I believe a Canary Island Date), is located in my back yard. We love the tree, but we need to build an addition so my mother can move in with us for health reasons. Some friends have told me that these types of trees are very valuable and that someone would likely pay me for the privilege of taking it away so that they can re-sell it. Does anyone have any idea of whether that is true? If not what could I expect to pay to have it removed? Or alternatively how much could I expect to pay to have it moved elsewhere in the yard?
I am no plant expert, so I appreciate any help this forum could provide. Thank you, Patrick |
Follow-Up Postings:
Awesome tree, try graigslist to advertise it for move by byer, maybe commercial buyers will be interested, measure trunk under canopy of tree and tells pacify it when negotiating price this is what gets price. Surely someone will buy it! |
That is a beautiful specimen, you may find a buyer. However, palms with taller trunks would fetch more. The crown is full and healthy; the trunk is stout and straight. The market has changed on palm prices, as with so many other things. Prices on specimen palms have a high correlation with real estate development. At one time, you might have received as much as $2,500 for your palm, but I would expect much less in the current economic climate. Still, it beats you having to pay someone to remove it. Geographical location and ease of access to allow removal will influence pricing. If you are out in the middle of nowhere and the palm is in a difficult spot, forget about getting paid. In that event, you could be lucky to find someone to remove it for free. If you are located in the Los Angeles area, I can recommend an experienced tree mover to call. If they know someone who is looking for a palm, they could make the match. I wish you luck in finding your palm a new home. That mass of palm fronds represents many, many years of growth. |

Thats one of the nicest date palms I've seen in a while, I bet you can get an interested buyer. Usually palms that size can be worth up to $1000, but if you want to sell it quickly and get rid of it you can maybe sell it for $800 and tell them to dig it out or order the crane themselves to dig it out (since that will definitely be a few 100 extra). Date palms are very common in Cali, but still worth a lot. -Alex |
Hi Would have to chime in with the others but suspect the only people capable of moving it are commercial growers?? Going to require some heavy duty equipment . looks like the fence and sidewalk will be wrecked ?? good luck took a lot of years to get to that stature for sure!!! gary |
Maybe call some nurseries... and i second the craigslist! |

The Secret of Pemuteran
Then, on each descent, we were greeted by devastation. White skeletons of dead or dying corals and almost everywhere we looked, crown of thorns were eating the few surviving corals. The reefs were all but deserted; most fish had moved out of their coral homes. We thought the reefs of Pemuteran were dying right before our eyes.
Fast forward 10 years to 2007. We're visiting Pemuteran again for a dive trip. What would we find — decimated reefs or signs of recovery? We were really surprised — the story that unfolded during our recent visit was a legacy to the human spirit, a shining example of -what can be achieved by the active participation of local community members in ecology and conservation projects. We discovered the Reef Gardeners of Pemuteran Bay.
Pemuteran is in a dry arid part of Bali in the rain shadow of the island's central mountain chain, but due to little fresh water runoff, coral reefs thrive around the coastline. Once just a small quiet fishing village, its potential as a base for visiting divers to explore the offshore reefs was recognized and in 1992 Pemuterants first dive center opened, plus a couple of small accommodations. Since then these accommodations have expanded, plus a few more mini-resorts have opened, along with their own dive center.
In 1999 the local community recognized the importance of the area's marine attractions and declared the inshore waters of Pemuteran Bay a Marine Protected Area (MPA); in 2005 the area was extended to cover an offshore reef known as Tukad Jarang. Brainchild of expat Australian Chris Brown, also a longtime resident of Pemuteran, the Reef Gardeners are a small group of local Balinese who were first trained as scuba divers and then introduced to the conservation methods required to help save the damaged reefs.
Funding for the Reef Gardeners has come from a combination of the AUSAID program, public donations, and from funds raised by the Reef Gardeners themselves by taking visitors out on snorkeling trips to see the coral reefs. One of the primary roles of the Reef Gardeners is to remove crown of thorns and the coral-consuming drupella snails from the reefs. Without these predators, corals often naturally recover rapidly from the effects of bleaching. To date the Reef Gardeners have removed over 5,000 crown of thorns and 53,000 drupella snails from Pemuteran Bay. They've also scuttled six 'wrecks' close to one of the offshore reefs, plus constructed and sunk a bio-wreck – a boat-shaped steel structure – at the same site. They've also constructed Bali's first underwater Hindu temple, complete with stone statues 30 meters below the surface.
Our first dive back at Pemuteran was at Kuburan Kapal (Ships Graveyard), where we explored some of the Reef Gardeners sunken wrecks. These are mostly old fishing boats scuttled on a sand bottom close to the edge of Tukad Jarang reef. Among these is a Madurese fishing prahu that was enveloped in steel mesh before being submerged.
Each day the Reef Gardeners take their boat Reef Re-Gee out to the Ships Graveyard and connect an on-board low voltage generator, via buoyed cables, to the Madurese fishing prahu and the BioWreck. This electrical current stimulation is known as Bits-Reef and has been used along the inshore reefs of Pemuteran for over 10 years and is recognized as one of Just after the Bin-Wreck was submerged the Reef Gardeners tied small pieces of live corals all around its structure. These were collected from patches of reef damaged by boat anchors in the area, which are now thriving with plenty of healthy new growth in vibrant colors. Now many smaller reef fish have taken up residence here after less than a year on the bottom. The Reef Gardeners' daily patrols out to the reefs ensures that fishermen from outside Pemuteran are reminded this area is now closed to dynamite fishing and aquarium collecting, destructive practices previously carried out here.
We were invited by the Reef Gardeners to join them on a reef monitoring dive. A 15 minute boat journey had us tied to a mooring at Napoleon Reef a few kilometers offshore. We descended armed with a metal hook, collecting bag and Kadek our Reef Gardener guide. We slowly finned along the reef following Kadek as he searched the reef for crown of thorn sea stars and drupella snails. We meandered among healthy patches of elegant staghorn and large table corals; this reef had recovered well, with very few signs of damage at all. But not too far into the dive Kadek was gesturing for us to look below a small coral ledge. We could just see one spiky arm of a crown of thorns, well hidden in the dark recesses.
Kadek carefully hooked the feeding sea star from its coral breakfast and slipped it into his collecting hag, moving along the reef in search of more predators. On this dive alone, he collected eight crown of thorns and around 30 drupella snails, all of which we wouldn't normally have seen as they are camouflaged so well among the corals.
To us the jewel in the Reef Gardeners crown of achievements has been the construction of an underwater Balinese Temple at a dive site known as Taman Pura (Temple Garden). The reef lies along the western shore of Pemuteran Bay, overlooked by three traditional Balinese hillside temples. There's beautiful shallows close to shore that make excellent snorkeling, but just a little further out the reef drops dramatically over a sheer wall to 28 metres. It's here that the Reef Gardeners have erected a dozen or more large Balinese stone statues on plinths, plus a Candi Bentar gateway — the traditional entrance gate to a Balinese Temple.
Our first glimpse of Bali's underwater temple was in near-perfect calm and clear conditions. We could see the entire assemblage of statues as we descended. The entrance guardian statues sternly look out to sea over a vast sandy bottom. Inside the gateway were more statues, already encrusted with yellow, green and orange sponges. The underwater shrine has been constructed around a huge boulder overgrown with corals and surrounded by schools of fish. Swaying orange seafans, red soft corals and technicolour sponges cover the rock while shimmering schools of tiny glassfish seem to flow among the statues. This is a very impressive dive and a must-do for visitors.
With the Reef Gardeners caring for and maintaining the reefs of Pemuteran, marine life in the area is nose thriving. As the reefs rejuvenate, the reef fish are re- inhabiting the coral crevices and ledges. And all the other forms of life that make coral reefs the richest natural habitats on Earth are arriving. In this era of nothing but had news for the environment, the Reef Gardeners brought us some good news.

It was a bit disturbing to hear John McCain blaming the greed of Wall Street and the lack of federal oversight for the our financial meltdown. But McCain's performance yesterday on the Today show was truly a travesty. He attempts to voice the free-marketeer line that AIG shouldn't be bailed out but winds up sounding like Miss Teen USA South Carolina talking about Iraq.
Our friend Rachel Sklar at the Huffington Post provides the transcript.
LAUER: So if we get to the point middle of the week as we heard in that report where AIG might have to file for bankruptcy, they're on their own?
McCAIN: Well…quote, "on their own"…we have to – we cannot have the taxpayers bail out AIG or anybody else…this is something we're gonna have to work through — there's too much corruption, there's too much access, we can fix it, I believe in America – we can have a 9/11 commission such as we had after 9/11, 'cause this is a huge crisis and we can come up with fixes and we can make sure that every American has a safer future and that is to make them know that their bank deposits are safe and insured.
It's hard to escape the feeling that free market ideas don't stand a chance with this guy as the Republican leader.

From the truth about cheating to the best things to say in bed, our sex columnist solves the mystery of every taboo you could think of
PLUS: 75 Things You Don't Know About Women
By Stacey Grenrock Woods
Are people who marry their first sexual partners more likely to cheat?
If my wife is cheating, is it more likely to be with a stranger or a guy I know?
What things should I avoid saying right before I climax? (And what does she want to hear?)
I've read about people who always use condoms but still get pregnant, what are they doing wrong?
My fiancée will have sex only in two positions, missionary and cowgirl. I'm getting bored.
Regarding one-night stand etiquette: When should I take off?
Sometimes alcohol makes me last longer. Other times, I can't get it up. How much is too much?
I was thinking of getting snipped so I'd be ready to go anytime, anywhere. Will I lose testosterone?
What's the male "a-spot?" And why do some men get so nervous when the rectum gets involved?
My wife is silent in bed. I hate it. What can I do?
What's the deal with pinching nipples? Whenever I've done it, the only sound I've elicited is a yelp
How do you make a girl orgasm? I can't please my girl, and I feel like a failure. What do I do?
I always feel like such a shit-heel when I try to talk dirty. What do I say?
Why all the emotional investment in sex? Why aren't women programmed like we are?
Aside from the old standby, whipped cream, what are some other good foods I can use in the bedroom?
Everyone seems to complain that they either last too long in bed or not long enough. What's normal?
What was the first pornographic film?
I swear I've answered this five times. I'm starting to think you guys don't actually want to know the answer, and the second I launch into some charming, well-researched particulars about Chinese scrolls and the history of celluloid peep shows, you're all going to make faces and throw spitballs at me and do that rude gesture guys do with their hands. All I can say is, You'd better not! First, we must address the sliding definition of pornography. It tends to slide erratically sometimes very slowly and evenly and sometimes, well, it just slides all over but I'm going to define pornography for us right here and now because someone has to: Pornography is anything that intends to get someone off. For me, it's National Velvet; for someone else, who knows? Maybe Chicks with Dicks. The first real pornos were probably stag films, which started around the turn of the century, probably in Brazil big shock. While not cinematically compelling, these stag films are culturally important because they mark the first recorded incidence of women doing it with ruminant mammals. And here I thought I was so avant-garde!
Who invented the blow job? Was it Cleopatra?
Of course not. Cleopatra invented Liquid Paper. The blow job came about in a rather amusing way: An 18th-century nobleman, the Earl of Sandwich, once requested that his meat course be placed between two pieces of bread so he could eat while playing cards. As this was happening, his friend the Marquis de Boules stayed behind in the kitchen and got a blow job. Isn't that a ribald tale from the annals of history? However, it is not universally accepted by historians as being true in the truest sense of the truth. Educated people say there is evidence of oral sex in art that predates the time of Cleopatra. "I must say I laughed out loud when I read your question," bragged Shelley Haley, a classics professor and Cleopatra expert at Hamilton College. That a classics professor just called you an idiot is beside the point. The point is, it's safe to assume blow jobs have been around since before the beginning of time and, with any luck, will be here for another three months or so.
I saw a video of a woman having an orgasm and squirting volumes of liquid...
...straight up into the air. Is this real or fake?
Sir, what you saw was probably just a deleted scene from Mona Lisa Smile, but regardless, I'm pleased to inform you that female ejaculation is indeed real. The fluid originates in what used to be called the paraurethral gland but is now called "the female prostate gland," since its publicist deemed the old term too "down-market." That's right, fellas, we gals have prostates now, so quit hoggin' all the saw palmetto. Some researchers have found PSA (a protein found in semen) and fructose in the ejaculate, while others have found extra foam and a caramel swirl for only a few cents more. Debbie Sundahl, sex educator and author of Female Ejaculation & the G-Spot, speculates that women have been conditioned to repress this outburst. "The urge to ejaculate feels like the urge to pee," she says. Sundahl herself recalls the pressure and uncertainty she encountered as a novice ejaculator. "It took me eight years to learn how," she says. And once women have mastered that, there's another problem. According to Sundahl, "It is possible for women to prematurely ejaculate," thus opening the door to a whole host of shortcomings women can have regarding something they didn't even know they could do.
I always tell my girlfriend that it's good to have sex...
...because she'll burn a lot of calories. Is this true? And what about semen?
It's long been thought that sex burns between 300 and 320 calories an hour, but this, I'm afraid, is a fairy tale. Most sources say a 120-pound woman who has vigorous sex for thirty minutes will burn only about 40.5 calories less than casino gambling or Xeroxing, which both clock in at 54. "With the horizontal positions, your heart doesn't have to work very hard to produce circulation around the body," says professor of exercise physiology B. Don Franks, "and you're not using large muscle groups," no matter what you'd like to tell yourself. Therefore, you can assume sex burns even fewer calories than your constant, relentless, incessant begging. On the bright side, you might have an easier time convincing her to swallow if she knows that ejaculate contains a skinny five calories per serving less than that burned by ninety seconds of baton twirling (5.4). Most popular diet plans consider semen a "free food," like salsa. Often incorrectly labeled "sperm," semen is actually a tantalizing blend of sperm, fructose, sodium, citric acid, potassium, water, vitamin C, phosphate, bicarbonates, zinc, and prostaglandins, but sometimes you can ask for the prostaglandins on the side. So go ahead indulge!
I heard that consuming pineapple and/or parsley helps sweeten the taste of the male ejaculate...
...Can there be any truth to this?
The parsley-pineapple-semen connection can be puzzling, and not just for those unlucky few who have to clean up after one of Woody Harrelson's parties. Some say there is a link between what you eat and the flavor of your semen. Others maintain these are old wives' tales perpetuated by powerful fruit and garnish lobbies. But somewhere between Big Parsley and a bunch of horny old wives lies the truth: Semen will never be delicious. Dr. Drew Pinsky, of television fame, reminds us that the body is filled with bacteria, which affects its by-products. "Certain foods can make it taste worse, but, like sweat or snot, semen isn't going to be appealing." The doctor was later heard grumbling that earwax also tastes bad. Still, there are those whose tastes are so refined that they can discern subtle notes and undertones. "Fruits and quality alcohol are good for a pleasant, sugary flavor, but chemically processed liquors may cause an acidic taste," says online sex therapist Amy Guven. She also tells us that dairy and meat products create the foulest-tasting fluids and that "vegetarians have ejaculate that generally tastes sweet, nutlike." The fact remains, there is no hard evidence that diet has any bearing on the taste of semen. When it comes right down to it, semen isn't supposed to taste good. It's supposed to get you wasted!
What is the oldest sex toy?
This question sent me running to the mirror to make sure I hadn't spontaneously generated the comical mustache and mail carrier's uniform of Cliff Clavin. The last thing any sex columnist wants is to arm a legion of sex dorks with wry anecdotes about rhino tusks. Personally, I don't need it on my conscience.
But it's too late for Eric Singley, curator of the Erotic Museum in Hollywood. He doesn't mind telling you that human beings have been fashioning the phallic form from an array of materials as far back as Paleolithic times. However, these things were probably used mostly in ceremonies and as last-minute gifts. It was the ancient Greeks (surprise, surprise) who first used objects for sexual enhancement, evidence from their artwork and writing suggests. Consider this excerpt from a dialogue between Socrates and some rough street trade: "All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, you will insert this marble plug into Socrates."
Apart from that, dildo scholars have had to rely mostly on hearsay. "It's rumored that Cleopatra kept a container, perhaps a hard-shelled gourd, filled with bees for use as a primitive vibrator," says Karen Eckhaus, associate curator at New York's Museum of Sex. We can assume that this device was highly ineffective, unless it also had settings for "wasp" and "hornet." Says Eckhaus, "There are various stories of women smearing their vulvas with honey to attract flies, whose feet and wings would stimulate the genitalia. Similarly, fish and snake heads have also been used." Oh, hey, Karen? That's my other line. Gotta go!
Ultimately, all we really know is that necessity is the horny bi teen slut of invention, and where there are humans, there will be sex toys. So let us then reconsider: What is the oldest sex toy? I'd have to say it's the human spirit.
Why is the Prince Albert piercing named after Prince Albert?
I'm afraid no one knows. You see, although everyone was warned repeatedly, no one let Prince Albert out of the can, and he suffocated. People thought it was just a joke, but now who's laughing? Certainly not the guys with rings through the heads of their penises.
The most popular and most wrong theory about the moniker is that the prince himself had one of these hideous things as part of an elaborate system of pulleys designed to make him look sleek and smooth in the royal trousers. Now, Albert was German, but he wasn't that German. It's also been suggested that the prince relied on this piercing to keep his foreskin hygienic for his good lady queen, but everyone knows that blue bloods prefer it all stanky.
These are little more than revisionist histories inspired by the big fat lies of a guy called Doug Malloy, who is widely considered to be the godfather of piercing. He's the one who took piercing from wherever it was to wherever it is now. In a stroke of marketing genius, Doug "the Liar" Malloy created for every piercing a fanciful legend that was likely rooted not in truth but in poppers. One can assume he christened the Prince Albert the "Prince Albert" as an incentive to men who are thinking of piercing but worry that it might not be royal enough.
Okay, maybe I'm being a little hard on the guy. I suppose if you'd just put a bunch of holes in your dick, you'd try every trick in the book to get other people to do it, too.
The first sex columnists plural were actually my ancestors. I come from hardy sex-column stock simple folk who worked what land they had, growing more than enough bawdy puns and euphemisms to feed themselves. There was always a bountiful "joystick" crop, followed by a huge "tube steak" harvest. But then the dust storms came, and if there's one thing columnists hate, it's dust. It gets all over the keyboard. Well, word got round that they were hiring sex columnists out in California at five cents a pun, so they packed up the old Passat, but when they got out west, they were paying only two and a half cents per barrel of puns. The columnists organized a strike and demanded fair pay and to have their expenses reimbursed or there would be no sex advice. It was years before anyone noticed, because everyone had real problems. Isn't that a great story? Look, I don't know who the first sex columnist was, but I do know this: First, last, and always, I'm the only one you need, baby.

Channel Guide: Our 2011 Emmy Predictions
Features By Merrill Barr on September 17, 2011 | Comments (2)Guess what everyone, the Emmys are back in town! Aren't you excited?! No, that's okay, neither am I. Just another night for some of Hollywood's biggest talents to pat themselves on the back for making pretend (really good pretend, though). But you know what, we here at FSR will treat this with the utmost respect that we do all awards ceremonies. That said, before we get to the predictions, let's take a look at some of the top winners from the Creative Arts Awards portion of the Emmys which were awarded last week: Futurama walked away with the top honor for animated program based on the episode 'The Late Philip J. Fry,' beating out front runners South Park and The Simpsons who dominated the category between 2000 and 2009. This also marks the second time Futurama has won the award for Best Animated Series. Maurice LaMarche also walked away with the award for Best Voice-Over Performance for his work on the series as Lrr and Orson Welles. Gwyneth Paltrow took the award for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Holly Holiday on Glee. Game of Thrones took the award for Best Title Sequence. Boardwalk Empire took the win for Best Visual effects beating out the likes of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Deadliest Catch won the award for Best Reality Series (a win that is more than acceptable in this category). Okay, now that we got that out of the way, let's move on to […]
Channel Guide: Emmy Nominations… Yes, We're Doing This Again
Features By Merrill Barr on July 16, 2011 | Comments (6)Yup, it's that time of the year again. That time of the year where we TV folk bitch and moan about what shows won't be getting some golden Emmy love because the Academy is full of old people who think basic cable is what holds up the Brooklyn Bridge, which they also saw get built… I think… That said, this year's Emmy Nominations are no more surprising than they were last year. Mad Men leads in the scripted drama series dept with nineteen nominations, but more interestingly, the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce leads the overall with twenty one nominations. Before we get and further into this, let's check out some of the shows that didn't get nominated for anything in either overall, acting or technical categories (not that any of this matters, like usual).
Channel Guide: A Plea For 'Men Of A Certain Age'
Features By Merrill Barr on July 2, 2011 | Comments (6)Between shows like Community, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Wilfred, Louie and Futurama, the current world of television comedy sees zany, hyper-reality shows reigning supreme. But every extreme needs a counter-weight. Something that provides a different style and perspective. And this summer, that counter-balance is called Men of A Certain Age. The Ray Romano/Andre Braugher/Scott Bakula dramedy may receive similar critical praise to the aforementioned series, but the show doesn't have nearly the same sized audience. And that's a shame since the show is arguably one of the most wholesome, down-to-earth programs on television at the moment. Currently in the tail end of its second season, Men of A Certain Age focuses on three men in their forties trying to cope with the fact that there is now more time behind them than in front. Joe (Romano) is a gambling addicted, divorced, party-store owner who has recently befriended his former bookie. Owen (Braugher) is a car salesman turned dealership manager when his father passes the torch to him with an attached price. And Terry (Bakula), a former actor turned car salesman who can't seem to maintain a stable relationship. Now that we got the introductions out of the way, let's get to the reason why you should be watching the series.
Join us each week as Rob Hunter takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs. And remember, these listings and category placements are meant as informational conversation starters only. But you can still tell Hunter how wrong he is in the comment section below. This week once again sees a healthy number of releases worth buying and renting and only a few that should be avoided like a leprous Jehovah's Witness. The much talked about but little seen Scott Pilgrim vs the World hits shelves today alongside Criterion's release of Antichrist, Grown Ups, Ticked Off Trannies With Knives, and a few TV shows including the first season of the BBC's excellent Sherlock.

Tunis conference pushes for women's rights in Arab world
By Monia Ghanmi for Magharebia in Tunis — 29/04/10
The Arab world must empower women by eliminating discrimination, reviewing laws and using gender as a criterion in assessing plans and processes, said participants in a conference held April 25th-26th in Tunis.
The Tunis conference followed the 54th session of the United Nations' Commission on Women's Condition, held in New York last month. It also served as a 15-year review of progress, success and failures since the issue of women's rights was addressed in the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
By supporting each other in the struggle for their freedoms and rights, women will be able to participate effectively in public life, said presenters at the "Beijing + 15 and Beyond" conference on the status of women around the world.
"In most Arab countries, women suffer from exclusion and political marginalisation," said Naziha Zarouk, who is in charge of women's affairs at the ruling Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD) party. "Arab countries face many challenges to women's participation in the political process … these societies still belittle women, and are attached to the patriarchal values for traditional and cultural reasons".
The RCD leader called for creating a "cultural and social environment" that would help guarantee "equality and equal opportunities for men and women".
Representatives from Tunisia, Palestine, Egypt and Syria participated in the conference.
Participants recommended creating a database on women's skills and a commission tasked with conducting strategic studies on Arab women's economic empowerment and strengthening their access to information technology.
Other recommendations to emerge from the conference included a call to boost rural women's skills and to create bodies for listening to, orienting and guiding women, especially in urban areas, TAP reported.
"The insignificant participation of women in politics is caused by legislative constraints in some Arab countries, and the existence of gaps between legislation and practice," said the secretary-general of the Arab Family Organisation, Houda Ben Youssef.
"In addition, women are victims of a stereotype of inferiority promoted by the media" which sees them as the first target for publicity and marketing, added Ben Youssef.
The head of the Tunisian Mothers' Association, Saida Agrebi, told conference participants that "most sociological studies and regional reports show that Arab women are falling behind other women in the world in terms of their rights, freedom and independence."
At the Beijing Conference in 1995, the Arab region was ranked last in terms of improving the status of women, she said.
Tunis has hosted previous events aimed at promoting women's rights, including a workshop last year on the topic of stopping violence against women.
However, according to Agrebi, the picture is not all that bleak. Their status has "improved due to the many reforms and changes that have evolved in the meetings of Arab leaders who've insisted on many occasions on the need for women's rights legislation," she said.

Where is Agrebi now? She should be tried like all other corrupt robbers! Agrebi should be an example to anyone who doesn't want to learn. To you and those with you, is glory eternal? Are hustle and bustle, lies and hypocrisy eternal? You have lost this life and the hereafter.
Today we need awareness and confidence more than before. Our future is unknown. Our affairs are unclear. We no longer distinguish between the friend and the enemy. We are living in a period of doubt. Therefore, we have to think deeply before taking a step. We claim our rights and impose our grievances. But we have to think about the future of our country which is dearer than our personal narrow interests. This is a call to all Tunisians both the people and politicians.
بئر مشارقة تونس
We thank God for waking up from our sleep, uncovering the manipulations of our politicians and how they were following a gang of corrupt people from both sexes. You read on the faces of most of them evil but you couldn't express your opinion. Today, we need audacity, express opinion freely and democratically although we are fed up with this word. We claim our rights in all fields especially the right for free, independent and mindful election.
I adore Tunisian hypocrisy. Women's rights!? A husband just has to accuse his wife of adultery to get her thrown in prison. It does not work the same way in the opposite direction. Moreover, if the husband really did have an affair, his mistress will really go to prison for a year. Stop your studidity.
In Tunisia, the great people who are quite in view of the regime and who are preoccupied with their ascension to power and, more simply, just their power, have developed the marvellous cult of flattery. One day, due to lack of conjugal performance, they decided to grant their wives (notice the plural "wives") independence in a very rare form of freedom. This is a clue that explains why Mr Ben Ali is not a 'dictator' in the apolitical sense of the term, but a King who has breathed the era of Versailles-like life into his courtiers and courtesans. Saint-Cyr left its mark.
I support 100% the patriot Najla and her assessment of the informer Saida Agrebi, who is also known for the perverse nature of her morals. Ben Ali is using her just like Bourguiba did – in order to spy. As a reward, he granted her a position likely to satisfy her perversions. As president of the Association of Tunisian Mothers, she has a good alibi to approach mothers' daughters.
"…[W]omen are victims of a stereotype of inferiority promoted by the media…" Thus spoke Houda Ben Youssef, secretary-general of the Arab Family Organisation. What an outrageous statement. Where in the Arab world did she see free media capable of influencing public opinion? Would it be in Tunisia, by chance, where the recidivist president has once again been nominated one of the worst predators of the freedom of the press for 2010? The organisation Reporters Without Borders has tallied up 40 of his kind. The Tunisian president finds himself in the company of colleagues such as Kim Jong-Il of North Korea, Kadhafi of Libya, Ahmadinejad of Iran and Kadyrov of Chechnya. He also borders on Mullah Omar, the leader of the Taliban. He is found on the same list as leaders of criminal organisations involved drug trafficking and dangerous paramilitary organisations like Columbia's FARC. This entire lot is violent, dangerous and above the law, but their senior is most likely Ben Ali, because in other places like Somalia and Nigeria, the predators have disappeared from the list. Even in Iraq, in spite of its daily violence, it seems that the situation for journalists is improving little by little. Meanwhile, in Tunisia, the infernal machinations of Ben Ali continue to chew up the journalists. The worst of it is the dictator's cynicism and his contempt for the people. Today, 3 May, World Press Freedom Day, his newspaper "La Presse" dared to publish declarations that credited him with "guaranteeing the principles of freedom and democracy. In Tunisia, there are no taboos and no prohibitions. The Tunisian media can address all cases and all issues without any form of censorship." It is a shame that the Presidential Palace does not publish health reports.
The aim of the conference had nothing to do with advancing women's rights, but everything to do with advancing the opportunist Laila Ben Ali, before whom the ministers lay prone because she is the wife of you know whom. This custom is unique to dictatorships. Wassila, the wife of Bourguiba, made Tunisia shake. The wives of the dictator Perón also straddled the Argentinians. The list is long and includes the wife of Philippine dictator Marcos, the wife of Sadat, the wife of Moubarak and so on. The list is long. The above article does not mention, most notably, that Laila Ben Ali kidnapped Tunisia's women's organisation and engaged them in a race against Aicha, the daughter of Kadhafi, and the wives of other Arab dictators in order to take over the Arab Women Organisation. Her name was not cited, but her portrait is subtly and innocently visible in the photo to the left, as is Big Brother's in the middle of the picture. He is watching you. Tunisia's censors have learned tact. Their intelligent approach reinforces the cult of the Ben Ali couple for Magharebia's readers. Touché.
samira ben abdallah ben jamaa
I agree with Miss Agrebi's comments. We must develop parity in its true meaning in our marriages, our holidays, our meals, our cemeteries, our responsibility to listen to our children beside their beds before they sleep, our parent-teacher conferences and at doctor visits. Parity means having no difference between us, even if it is now terribly different.
la patriote najla
To Magharebia, Mrs Agrebi is the symbol of dictatorship in Tunisia and beating below the belt. You've fallen into the trap of the crude propaganda of this snake that pretends to defend human causes!

Maryland approves oyster-reef restoration plan
Posted onMaryland is moving forward with a plan to restore native oyster reefs in Chesapeake Bay, a move that new studies show will naturally clean up the waterways.
On Wednesday, Gov. Martin O'Malley and the state Board of Public Works approved a $31 million plan to restore 371 acres of oyster bars along the bottom of Harris Creek in Talbot County, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website.
The natural resources department created the Harris Creek Sanctuary under O'Malley's 10-point Oyster Restoration and Aquaculture Development Plan. The plan was adopted in 2009 to enhance oyster restoration for ecological purposes and encourage the development of aquaculture businesses while continuing to support a more targeted and sustainable public oyster fishery.
Since then, Maryland has significantly increased its network of oyster sanctuaries — from 9 percent to 24 percent of the remaining quality habitat; increased areas open to leasing for oyster aquaculture and streamlined the permitting process; and identified areas off limits to leasing to support a more targeted, sustainable and scientifically managed public oyster fishery.
Under O'Malley's leadership, Maryland is providing $21 million for the Harris Creek project, with the Army Corps of Engineers and NOAA contributing $7.4 million and $4 million, respectively.
A new study showed that a reef seeded by oysters removed 20 times more nitrogen pollution from material such as home lawn and farm fertilizer in one year than a nearby site that had not been seeded.
Lisa Kellogg, a researcher for the Virginia Institute of Marine Science who led the 4-year study, told news outlets that oyster reefs potentially could remove nearly half of the nitrogen pollution from the Choptank River on Maryland's Eastern Shore. A wider restoration could help clean Chesapeake Bay, where the Choptank and other major rivers drain.

Breakfast Topic: Talent changes in Wrath of the Lich King
It's even easier to do with Hybrids. I know a lot of Protection Paladins are taking the opportunity to try Retribution for a while, and horror of horrors, I've even known a couple Feral Druids who have actually tried Moonkin form, if you can believe it. I find myself strangely unwilling to respec, so I'm sticking with my Unholy Death Knight, Feral Druid, and Beastmastery Hunter for now.
How are you doing on talents in Wrath? Have you decided on a build? Are you throwing money at constant respecs? Have you changed your spec 180 degrees from what it was in Burning Crusade?

The word Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for Spring, which is derived from a verb meaning: to lengthen. Lent comes in the Spring when the days become noticeably longer. This annual season of fasting, prayer, and penitence has been observed by the Western Church since the first century after Christ, although it has not always been forty days long. In more recent times it has been kept forty days, after the example of Moses and Elijah, and to commemorate the forty days of fasting and prayer that Jesus spent in the wilderness.
Lent is a season of spiritual growth, a time for progressive unfoldment.
How can we best be attentive to the spiritual journey during this time of grieving, introspection, seeking, and redemption?
Can we open a channel of intelligent communication with the silent forces at the depths of our being? Can we give power to the thoughts and words that flow from those depths and awaken to a higher consciousness and a connection to the Spirit that is within all?
Blessings to you during this season of Lent. May it bring you joy and peace.

What a good use of scraps. Having a unified color for background makes it looks all together. I love white with brights. I could take all my scraps as I go through projects and make a few to set aside till the box gets full. What a great idea. Thanks, Fran. |
I have always loved this pattern. Since I have lots of HSTs, I may have have to do one. beverly |
That is so cheerful. I keep meaning to make some as I go, but instead I put the scraps in a box and jump into the next quilt. I could use a good dose of self-control when it comes to starting new projects. |
