I read a good bit about the Elephant Garlic here on GardenWeb in Alliums forum. My question is this: I put it in a good size pot (about 24 inch diameter x 16-20 inches tall). There are 7 "bulbs" of it. Why is it already yellowing? I watered it slightly & it got some sun today. Is there anything else I need to do or is this just transplant shock and it will green back up in a few days? Please let me know. Thanks! - Steve |

Steve call me this week and I'll hook you up with a biggun! I'm talking 5' tall. |

Awesome...will do...thanks! =) |

Ours limped along last year after we got them at the spring swap. This year they are coming along right nicely. Then too, we put ours in the ground. |

Steve because of being dug and transplanted the garlic will not do anything this year, set aside til next year when it will, go ahead and cut tops off now. Glenda |

Ok, thanks Glenda. =) Will do when I get home...how do I need to store it until its Fall planting? |
You don't necessarily have to store it - you can leave it in the pot, but like Glenda said,it won't do anything and may appear to die back completely. Don't panic, though -- Garlic goes dormant after blooming and such - then it will show back up in the early spring next year. In fact, mine started putting out leaves in February I think. It just likes cool weather. |
- Posted by tn_veggie_gardner 6 (My Page) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 14:58
Ok, great...i'll just leave it be in that pot then. Can I put it in a less sunny spot for "storage" or does it still need an almost full sun spot? I have limited space and could fit another tomato plant or more in the room it's using now. Thanks - Steve |
- Posted by bigorangevol Nashville (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 23:51
Don't let the dirt in the pot freeze! I keep ours in the ground year-round and mulch/compost over it in the Fall. |
- Posted by tn_veggie_gardner 6 (My Page) on Tue, May 19, 09 at 10:32
Ok...i'll probably just leave it in a mostly shady spot for now (cuz I only have so much sun room & other things can go there) & i'll toss a new layer of something on it before bringing it inside for the 2-3 months of freezing temps in Winter. |
Leave it in a sunny location until the foliage is no longer green. There's still some green in your picture. After that, no light at all is needed. So even complete shade is fine. I wonder if you want have a problem if you bring the pot inside. Warm temps are going to cause the bulbs to resprout. Is there no way to bury the pot outside somewhere? |

What a difference a few years make. No longer is widespread, global economic growth the norm. The Global Village has now solidly become a patchwork quilt of Local Hamlets. Thus, companies are scanning the globe for pockets of opportunity, such as parts of Asia (namely China, Indonesia, India, and, yes, even Myanmar), parts of Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru), and Africa. No longer can global companies allow once-strong markets to carry the weaker markets. As such, multinational companies are and will increasingly be pulling back from mature markets and increasingly prospect for gold in emerging markets for growth. As a result, there are two general areas of opportunities for aggressive, independent agencies: 1) work with multinational, global companies to help them seek out the pockets of gold in the emerging markets in creative, cost-efficient ways, and 2) sniff out the local and regional entrepreneurial companies in the mature markets as they seek to gain a toehold as the multinationals scale back.With this, branding will take on an increasingly local/regional appeal in order to capture the hearts and minds of local-market consumers. Progressive, independent agencies have a unique advantage because they know and understand their local markets, and thus can make the most of a client's budget – be it multinationals trying to acquire customers and revenue in emerging markets, or start-ups attempting to capture market share in mature markets. But with an increasingly cautious client base, independent agencies will need to have the reach, resources and horsepower to not just get new clients, but to also retain them, while maintaining their inherent passion, flexibility, creativity and collaborative spirit. Think of a colony of highly focused, well-coordinated, never-say-die ants that can each carry 50 times their own weight. That's what clients will need in 2013.

Death to the guidebook. Long live the guidebook.
Arthur Frommer and daughter Pauline bought back the Frommer's series from Google in April and have put out the first of 30 new titles, banking on travelers who prefer printed real books over flighty apps.
Among the first are "Boston Day by Day" and "Frommer's Easy Guide to Paris 2014." (FrommerMedia, $13.95 and $10.95 respectively.)
"We reacquired ownership of all 340 of our titles," says Arthur Frommer, sounding ecstatic. "We are bringing out 30 new titles, completely up-to-date books for 2014 written by our most talented writers."
A new Easy Guide series aims to be light and succinct, weighing only a few ounces, and "you can wad them up in your pocket or purse," he says. "They don't list 100 hotels. They list our authors' preferences."

University Relations
ABERDEEN, S.D. – The NSU/Community Concert Band and ensembles will holda spring performance at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 14, in the Johnson Fine Arts Center Theater.
The NSU/Community Concert Band is under the direction of Dr. Terry Beckler. Also performing at the April 14 concert will be the NSU Percussion Ensemble, directed by Beckler, and Dominant 7, directed by Dr. Grant Manhart. Admission is free.
The Concert Band, which includes NSU students and members of the community, will perform:
• "Valdres," arranged for band by Glann C. Bainum: This Norwegian march is evocative and expressive of its land of birth, and it is one of the most famous marches ever composed.
• "Prelude, Siciliano and Rondo," by Malcolm Arnold: This was originally written for brass bands, but John Paynter's arrangement expands it to include woodwinds and additional percussion while faithfully retaining the breezy effervescence of the original composition.
• "Two Slavonic Dances" by Antonin Dvorak, arranged by Andrew Balent: Dvořák's first set of Slavonic Dances – modeled after Johannes Brahms' gypsy-influenced Hungarian Dances – established the composer's international reputation.
• "Parade of the Tall Ships" by Jay A. Chattaway: This unique concert march was written to commemorate Operation Sail, the largest gathering of tall ships ever assembled, which took place in New York harbor as part of the national bicentennial celebration on July 4, 1976.
The NSU Percussion Ensemble will perform "El Caribe," by Lalo Davila, and "A Beatles Medley – 1963-64: Songs From Liverpool." Ensemble members are James "Cam" Abreu, Amanda Korak, Luke Bergjord, Carrie Pospishil, April Rogness, Dustin Schmidt, Carl Mathwig and Erin Wolter.

Toll Brothers hosts spring open house
Tour four stunning rowhomes, available for quick occupancy, at The Crossings at Morton Grove. | SUPPLIED PHOTO
Article Extras
National luxury home builder Toll Brothers is hosting a special spring open house event at all of its new home communities in South Barrington, Elgin, and Morton Grove. The event takes place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17.
In addition to viewing the decorated model homes, the event offers a rare opportunity for visitors to take a guided tour through homes under construction.
"With so many homes underway, this is an ideal time to come out and see all the possibilities you have to customize when you build a Toll Brothers home," says Cheryl Molfese, sales manager for Toll Brothers' popular new community in South Barrington, The Woods of South Barrington.
Toll Brothers is known for the customization opportunities it offers to home buyers. Every home offers hundreds of pre-priced options, from altering floor plans with structural options such as a first-floor in-law suite, expanded kitchen, finishing the basement, or adding a play room to individualizing interior appointments from a vast selection of cabinetry, countertop, backsplash, flooring, trim, and lighting choices.
The national luxury home builder is seeing a significant increase in buyer interest and sales.
"My clients are confident that the time to buy is now," said Molfese. "They don't want to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the unbelievable mortgage rates and incredible pricing."
The open house event takes place at Toll Brothers communities across Greater Chicagoland.
"We invite everyone to come out, take a tour, and let us show you how much more home you can get when you buy today," adds Ms. Molfese.
In Morton Grove, buyers can take advantage of the final opportunity to own one of the stunning rowhomes at The Crossings at Morton Grove. These urban-style chic residences are located just steps from the Metra and start at $351,995 offering three levels of living plus a rooftop deck and a two-car garage. Quick occupancy is available.
In Elgin, enjoy country club living without the fees at Bowes Creek Country Club, a premier golf club community surrounding the award-winning Rick Jacobson-designed public golf course. Buyers can choose from spacious townhomes or single-family homes with prices starting at $199,995.
Buyers will want to find out more about Regency at Bowes Creek Country Club, a gated enclave of single-family ranch homes and single-level townhomes within the Bowes Creek community designed for those 50 years of age or older. Residents of Regency enjoy access to the private clubhouse which features a pool, fitness center, tennis and bocce courts, a putting green, and a billiard room. Prices start at $199,995.
In South Barrington, Toll Brothers is offering luxury single-family homes from the $700,000s at The Woods of South Barrington. These grand homes include an impressive list of features and the largest home sites offered anywhere in Chicagoland by Toll Brothers.
Regency at The Woods of South Barrington is the only community in South Barrington catering to those 50 years of age or better. Regency features a private gated entry — a big comfort for snow birds — and a well-appointed clubhouse affording residents the luxury of an on-site gym with scheduled classes, tennis, bocce, and shuffle board courts, a heated pool, and social rooms for banquets, billiards, or cards. Adding to the resort-class atmosphere is an on-site social director that keeps a busy and well-rounded schedule of social events. Low-maintenance single-family ranch and two-story homes offer up to 3,400 square feet of living space and begin in the upper $400,000s.
Toll Brothers also will build on privately owned lots. For community information and maps, visit www.TollBrothers.com/CST.

10 Best Kingdom Hearts Cosplays
It's no easy task finding the 10 Best Kingdom Hearts Cosplays. With so much popularity, it's common to spot cosplayers from this series online and at conventions around the world. This kind of quantity in numbers makes it difficult to find the ones that really stick out from the crowd. Luckily, we've done the work for you! Take a look at the 10 Best Kingdom Hearts Cosplays.
Coming in at #10 on our 10 Best Kingdom Hearts Cosplays list is Saix, worn by Nikkiolie. While many others have attempted his character before, the attention to detail on the wig, facial features, and coat is impressive.
It's not everyday you come across an Axel cosplayer that pulls off his look. We've got give props to Erica for the wig and simplicity of her make-up. It's hard to have those things spot on.
You can find Sora just about anywhere -- come on, he's the main character! However, how many times do you get the chance to see an Anti-Sora? This cosplay is one of the few you'll find, but it'll be even harder to find one as well put together as this.
Sora and Riku
As stated, you can find Sora just about anywhere. Finding a good one is a challenge, though. It's even less common to find a good Riku alongside him. These two managed to impress us by looking like they came straight from the video game!
If anyone can bring justice to Kairi's character, it's this girl. Admittedly, We had to take a second look to make sure it wasn't a photoshopped screenshot from the game.
Roxas and the Gang
The gang's all here at #5 on our 10 Best Kingdom Hearts Cosplays list! Being a collective of more casual costumes, Roxas and his buddies manage to pull it off flawlessly. Even the ice cream looks well made!
There's a lot of fine detail when it comes to Ventus' costume. Cvy does an amazing job with his character, perfecting the look down to the very last switch.
This cosplay is, without a doubt, one of the most gorgeous ones on this list. Rinoa is a popular Aqua cosplayer, and it's not hard to see why.
Xigbar and Larxene
Xigbar and Larxene aren't the most popular characters, but that didn't stop these two. Their costumes, facial features, and poses are so spot-on that we feel they are the best cosplays of their characters.
Roxas and Namine
Coming in at #1 on our 10 Best Kingdom Hearts Cosplays list is Roxas and Namine. Everything about this picture is perfect, and truly deserving of our #1 spot.

made my mom cry with delight
My mom has been wanting a red tea kettle for a long time but she is very particular about the style and it's features. When I saw this one, I knew she would love it! When it arrived at her home and she opened it, she cried with joy! It was just what she wanted so I'm thrilled. The design, quality, and shipping of the product, exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

Cutest Big kettle!
This holds a lot of water and it boils so nice and not spill water all over your range. Easy to pour from and it does not leak while pouring. I have had kettles that drip hot water while you are pouring and have burnt myself. Well made and quite attractive.

Love My Teapot!
I really bought this teakettle because I could get it in red to help accessorize my kitchen. After having used it, I wonder now why I didn't order it sooner. It holds more water than my older stainless steel one and I was amazed at how quickly the water seems to boil. The design is reminiscent of teakettles of long ago and the color automatically draws one's eye to the stove when you walk into the room. I love my teapot!!

Traditional Teakettle
I found myself needing a new teakettle after the stainless steel one I have been using for who knows how long decided to buckle like on the bottom and rock violently during heating on a flattop glass electric stove I've had longer than the stainless steel kettle. Because of the "alleged incident" I was torn about purchasing anything but after a week or two of using a pot to heat my water for tea I decided what the heck after searching every store in my area for a replacement. All I saw apppeared to be junk for the price and so I ordered the kettle in Robin's Egg Blue. It's a gorgeous color looks good with bisque/almond appliances in my kitchen. Is of very higher quality materials from what I saw in the stores. Pours very well - no more almost scalding myself opening little flap on old whistling tea kettle. Paula's kettle does not have a whistle but I am getting use to it. Is used on a daily basis,so far extremely happy I purchased it. May someday when I can afford it purchase pots and pan set in same color as teakettle.

Love my teakettle and napkin holder!!!
I love my RED teakettle!! Not only does it look and fit so well into my country/patriotic theme kitchen, but its use is fantastic!! No more burnt knuckles, as the handle sits high enough away from the "body" of the kettle that there is no problem with being burned. I love the size of it and all in all ... I am thrilled and happy to see it sitting there on my range just waiting to help brew up another pitcher of Ice Tea!!! I also ordered the Rooster Napkin Holder .. and love that too. It is very sturdy and it looks so nice and cute sitting there on my shelf, adding another country piece to my theme. The quality is exceptional and just can't be beat!!

For almost a decade, Oakland public schools have been using a gradual phase out to close under performing or low population schools, resulting in a negative impact on local communities and students.
Oakland Unified School District is shutting many of its schools one grade at a time. For more than six years, OUSD has implemented a practice of closing down "small" or "underperforming" schools via a phase out system that slowly shuts down a school grade by grade. Although not unique, many parents, teachers and school officials see the phase out system as providing further trauma connected to the school closing issue. It's also unclear whether the program saves any money for taxpayers.
The story will raise the curtain on this little known practice that highlights the growing tension between communities and their school districts. It will also give an inside looking into the process of closing schools, showing the reaction of students.

The dimensions said this was 24" wide - not even close. When it arrived I was surprised at how small the box was and figured this could not be the light. It was. The diameter of the circle portion is 15 3/4 inches. At it's widest point it measures 17 3/4 inches. From the pictures, the lamp shades look white. They are definitely cream. They are also too large (6 inch diameter) proportionally for the rest of the chandelier.
This is a great light fixture. It was easy to put together. Instructions were adequate but we had to improvise a little to get fixture to attach. Main problem was to hard wire light while hold the fixture up -- no big problem. We wanted the light to be over our dining room table. Since it attached to the ceiling with a chain, it was very easy to remove the links to customize the size. It was easy to adjust to proper length. The quality was very good. The bars attached to the light and chain easily. The light are ebase type, which are called chandelier lights in our part of the country. Taught me to look at the socket before going to the local hardware store. Would recommend it for most situations that want a contemporary look except in the largest homes. We have the light on a dimmer. The shades are thin enough that there is a good transmission over the entire range of the dimmer. Good product -- effective shipping by Overstoch.com
Chandelier arrived late (after scheduled delivery) and missing pieces. One of the socket covers is missing and also some of the small components that are required to hang the light. I emailed the warehouse in China and am now waiting for the missing parts to arrive from Hong Kong. Overall, doesn't seem like a very high quality light.
Light was smaller than I expected, and the shades seem too big for the fixture.
This chandelier looks great above out kitchen table. It looks expensive for such a great price. The metal does not look cheap. It offers plenty of light, we have it on a dimmer switch.
This is a fantastic chandelier for the money. Looks great, can be formal or casual, and is a timeless look. Great value.
Perfect for a contemporary casual look in the kitchen. Lighting output not so bright, more for the ambience. Typical lighting assembly.
Stylish and modern but mixes with traditional furnishings. Bought about one month ago and have it hanging over our kitchen table. Looks very nice!
Overall, I am happy with the look and am looking forward to having it over our dining table but I am so frustrated that four key pieces of this chandelier were missing upon opening the box to install! It is disappointing to order an item, get ready to assemble it and then find that you can't because the main components were not included in the box.

I have never had an iris bloom this early! I've been dying to post it. So exciting as it's her first bloom ever. I knew in advance she was a "fader". Most cameras (including my Canon point & shoot) don't capture the tru orchid color. I switched to my old Olympus to get it.
We've never had these continual mild storms - more like PNW weather. Our plants are loving it. Due to low 60's daytime temps the bloom lasted 5 days. In warm sunny weather the usual time for one blossom is 3 days Ruffled Goddess stalk in January On Feb. 23rd - vibrant cattleya orchid color; last fall spread out at 11pm. On 2nd day (still overcast) On 3rd day (sun came out, lav beginning to show) On 4th day color is more pinky-lav. (overcast) On 5th & last day (overcast) |

What a beauty. That's the color I'm after. I goes so beautifully with almost every other color. It must be related to Persian Berry, no? I am anxiously awaiting the first blooms of my Persian Berry. I'll try to get some decent photos of it and post them here. I can't believe how early your Ruffled Goddess bloomed! Renee |
Renee ~ we need to trade! I've got a promise for you on a piece of the viol-lav from my friend that you saw a month ago. It has less fade and opens 2 closely spaced blooms together. Where this one's terminal bud stands alone in glory for 2 days. Pros and cons to both but I think my friend's is showier. I'll be happy to share both. |

Hey irisgal- my email address is on my page- just click on my name. I have two irises on your wish list, I think. Renee |

Raiders take clash of the TitansLacrosse: Okotoks earns semifinal sweep of Sherwood ParkBy: Remy Greer | Posted: Wednesday, Jul 23, 2014 06:00 am The Okotoks Jr. Raiders left no room for doubt to advance to the league championship. Okotoks wrapped up its three-game sweep of the Sherwood Park Titans in the best-of-five Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League semifinal with a 12-3 statement road win on Friday night. �I think we were more hungry for it,� said Raiders attackman Kade McCormick. �We�ve got all of our guys in the lineup and we were just prepared. �We�ve been doing video and knew how to get by them.� Okotoks took Game 1 and 2 of the semifinal on its home floor by 15-12 and 10-6 scores, respectively, and focused on giving up nothing defensively and swift-ball movement in preparation for the elimination game. The Raiders built a modest 4-2 advantage in the first period and took control with a dominant 3-0 middle frame before putting the game out of reach with a 5-1 final frame to sew up the 12-3 result. McCormick paced the Raiders with a four-goal, five- point contest with freshman sensation Brett McIntyre posting a hat-trick. �The biggest thing was not letting up and having a full 60 minutes,� said McCormick, a High Riverite and Holy Trinity Academy graduate. �It would be tough to come into a third game, down two and get shutout in the second period. �We did well there.� McCormick, who was held to just seven regular season games due to injury, looks to have regained his early season form with a playoff-high seven goals to his name. �Not that I was slow coming in, but I wasn�t at the top of my game the first week back,� he said. �Recently I�ve been feeling good and I�m fortunate I got some good bounces and the ball has been bouncing my way and I was able to put a few away.� The Raiders are rolling into the league finals versus the top-seed Calgary Mountaineers, a rematch of the past two championship series in which both club has walked away with one title. �It was a real big confidence booster, knowing we could come into the Mounties series coming in hot,� McCormick said. �We showed that we were better than the Titans and can bring that energy and that focus into the Mounties.� Heading into the final, the red-and-white clad Raiders are sporting a black-and-blue trim after a tremendously physical, albeit short, series with the gritty Titans. �We�re a little nicked up, we�ve got some bumps and bruises, but guys are going to have to rise up,� said Raiders bench boss Andrew McBride, a two-time NLL champion with the Calgary Roughnecks. �It�s playoff lacrosse, that�s what champions do, they battle through adversity, and they battle through injuries. �We�re definitely not 100 per cent, but we will be ready to go.� To keep up with the Raiders go to their official website at raiderslacrosse.ca Comments

If you are just going to browse videos to embed you can do it even from Google if you wanted to, which loads faster anyway. But that has nothing to do with the new homepage.
Point here is the homepage is where you (used to) manage your subscriptions and get recommendations and previews faster without having to scroll through pages upon pages of videos.
Now you get endless unnecessary spam from subscriptions without any way to turn it off or close watched videos. Instead they make you filter it by subscription and by uploads/activity. They also made it so you can only see a few of the videos in the feed, which are usually filled just with one channel's activity. So you have to keep scrolling down or keep clicking on each and every individual channel button to see if people has uploaded anything you are interested in.
This obviously doesn't show if you only have a sub or two, but if you are subscribed to more than 10 (active) channels you get spammed faster than you can say loltablets.
The old HP allowed you to manage everything from a single freaking page.
Then there's the freaking obvious attempt to force people to get subscription after subscription (which would add even more spam to the main "feed") in a system that makes it even harder to find the less popular channels while boosting the popular ones.
And that's not even going into the UI itself and the new and improved layout.
So yeah, I have too many reasons not to like it this time around.

can Rhododendron be grown from cuttings? When is the best time in my zone to do so.
Ranjana |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most rhododendrons can be propagated from cuttings. The procedure varies a little depending upon the type a rhododendron. Propagation of hybrid plants requires a form of cloning. These include cuttings, tissue culture and layering. Most rhododendron and evergreen azalea cuttings root fairly easily. Deciduous azaleas require special techniques to root. Most evergreen rhododendrons and azaleas may be propagated from stem cuttings. Cuttings are usually taken in the early fall from new growth that is just beginning to harden off. Generally, softer wood roots more readily than harder wood, though the softer the wood, the more likely it is that problems will occur with fungus diseases. Cuttings are taken in the morning when full of moisture. The cuttings are usually terminal cuttings with one whirl of leaves with the leaves cut in half (to reduce the leaf area) and any flower buds removed. Wound the cutting with a cut on each side, about 1/2" to l", just deep enough to cut through the bark. Dipping the cutting in a rooting hormone containing indolebutyric acid will make rooting easier. The exact formula depends on the hardness of the cutting and the difficulty in rooting the cultivar you are tying to propagate. The cutting has the end cut off just before placing in hormone powder (containing a fungicide). Then the cuttings are placed in a flat of sterile media containing a mix of 50% peat moss, and 50% horticultural perlite or vermiculite. The flat is placed in a polyethylene bag with struts to keep bag away from the foliage and placed in a light area with no direct sunlight. The flat is rotated once or twice a week to compensate variations in light and temperature. Usually bottom warmth of 70-75°F is used to encourage root growth. Rooting usually takes about 6 weeks for evergreen azaleas and 3 to 4 months for large-leaf rhododendron. Once the cuttings have rooted, pot or transplant them to flats containing a sterile mix of 60% peat moss and 40% perlite. Fertilize once a month with an acid-based azalea plant food like Peters. Removing terminal buds promotes sturdy well branched plants. Deciduous rhododendrons are propagated by seed, grafting or cutting. Deciduous azaleas are very tricky to propagate from cuttings. Tissue culture is used to propagate varieties that are difficult to root. It is a laboratory technique that is very successful. Take cuttings of deciduous azaleas when the new growth is soft and pliant. This is often coincident with time of bloom in early June. The ability to root decreases rapidly as new growth matures. Select cuttings daily for best results. Trim cuttings below a node (overall length of cuttings 3 to 5 inches) and dip in a root hormone containing fungicide. Insert in a medium of 60% peat moss and 40% horticultural perlite. Usually bottom warmth of 75°F is used to encourage root growth. In late August, transplant cuttings that are rooted and grow on in the greenhouse with supplementary light (14-hours a day) to prevent dormancy and induce new growth. In the fall after new growth has matured, transfer to a cool, frost-free cool (35°F to 41°F) environment to induce dormancy. As new growth develops in the spring, transfer plants to a shaded environment. [After "Rhododendrons and Azaleas" by J. Lounsbery, Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario, Canada] Layering is the easiest form of propagation for the home gardener. A lower branch is held down on soil (not mulch) with a stone. A slit is cut in an area in contact with the soil and the cut is treated with a rooting hormone. Then the cut area will sprout roots. When the roots are developed enough to support the end of the branch, usually in 2 years, the branch is cut from the parent plant and, if desired, transplanted. |

Our Story
The DoorHolders is made of up four musicians, 3 brothers and a close friend. Front man and lead guitarist, Caleb Butler and the drummer Seth, are brothers who have played together in various bands and on worship teams for 15 years. These two were part of a local Contemporary Christian band for 7 years, and with this band they recorded and released a demo EP and one full length album. Over the years they have played at many local festivals, events, and churches such as The Relay for Life and The Cherry Blossom Festival. They have opened for groups such as Jimmy Needham, Sidewalk Prophets, Andrew Carlton, the Noah Cleveland Band, Chris Sligh and The Museum. In the fall of 2009, after hearing a sermon preached by Louie Giglio, God started to move Caleb and Seth's hearts in a different direction. In January of 2010, they left that band and along with their younger brother and bassist Zach and good friend and keys player Matt formed the band, The DoorHolders.
Zach had played with his brothers over the years until March of 2006 when he sustained life threatening injuries caused from a tragic car accident. During the accident he was ejected from the vehicle as it flipped across a cow pasture. He was eventually found about 90 feet away from the overturned vehicle. His injuries were so bad that he wasn't expected to live to make it to the hospital. He had multiple orthopedic injuries along with a severe traumatic brain injury. His health situation was touch and go for many days and doctors warned the family that there was no way to predict the outcome of who he would be or what he would be able to do when he woke up, if he woke up. But God in His infinite grace and mercy showed up and has restored Zach to 100% health in mind and body. He has had many surgeries and has some aches and pains but restored!! Zach was able to join with his brothers again on worship teams off and on from 2008-2009 and in the fall of 2009 returned to the full time position of playing the bass! The car accident and Zach's subsequent recovery has sealed the brothers bond of love for each other and has given them the burning desire to see salvation come to as many people as they can get the Gospel to by following closely after Jesus, lifting up His name in song and making Him famous throughout the world!
Joining the guys in January of 2011 at the Passion Conference in Atlanta, GA was their good friend Matt Schnider . He had been fervently searching and seeking God and it was during this conference that he was able to gain some spiritual clarity for the first time in his life. Finally, he heard the voice of God and knew he must follow Him and do what He has commanded and that is to make disciples of all nations and being a part of The DoorHolders was where God wanted him to be.
The combination of these four guy's incredible musical abilities and their love for God make for some awesome heart felt songs that will lead you into the presence of the King of Kings!
In March of 2011 we attended the Passion LIFT conference for worship leaders in Atlanta, GA. It was during this conference that God spoke to each of our hearts individually concerning the City of Macon and the Middle Georgia area. On the way home from the conference each of us started to talk about what God had done in our lives throughout the weekend and it became clear that each of us had been given the same vision; to provide a monthly event free of charge to the public with no agenda but to lift up the name of Jesus and declare Him God of this city! We were led in our Spirits that the Night of Worship should be an event that would cross denominational lines and bring about unity in the body by using a variety of worship leaders and musicians from throughout the area and should declare the message of Salvation and the love of God to all who attend. The first Night of Worship was held in May of 2011 and continued for ten consecutive months until they took time off to work on their first EP.
Early in 2012 we started writing, sometimes re-writing, and composing newly written and previously written songs. We thankfully entered the studio in March! We were incredibly excited and humbled about finally producing a product that was original to us and that expressed the journey we had been on with God--one we hoped would bring Him glory for all He has done in our lives! Our hearts overflowed with praise and thankfulness!
Finally, with artwork complete, songs mixed and mastered, we sent them off for duplication! On September 8, 2012 our first original EP entitled, "Holding On To You" was released!
In the fall of 2012, we embarked on our first official tour that took us to events in Tennessee, Ohio, upstate New York and New Jersey. In January of 2013 we hit the ground running by serving at winter DNOW's and camps. In the Spring, we hosted and played a community wide event supporting the End It Movement. We also had the honor of playing the late night session at Aquire the Fire in Atlanta. Throughout the summer we served at many churches, camps and events within Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana! Some of our greatest joys came this past winter while leading worship for a ladies retreat! There have been so many moments within this past year that could serve as THE "highlight" moment but there can be nothing greater than seeing people come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior! What an honor and privilege to have been part of some of these moments!
This past year has also had it's many trials and challenges. Just before we left for a youth camp in Texas our family received some not so good news concerning the health of one of our family members. This was a trying time for all of us, but while we were serving in Texas God spoke to Caleb concerning these matters and took him to the Bible to read about the lives of Joseph and Job. It was through these sweet moments with the Lord that the song "Seasons" was born. We believe God breathed that song through our trial to help others through theirs. "Seasons" was released as a single and video in December of 2013 and we pray it blesses and encourages many!
Looking forward to 2014!
Lifting up the name of Jesus!

Oil rigs lost 6 units to 1,416 while gas rigs gave up 7 units to 351. Rigs considered unclassified were down 1 unit to 4.
Horizontal drilling rigs claimed 3 more units to 1,176. Directional drilling rigs dropped 14 units to 206.
In Canada, a 13-unit rise to 621 rigs working consisted of a 5-unit increase in oil rigs to 409 and an 8-unit gain in gas rigs to 212. Canada now has 10 fewer rigs compared with this week a year ago.
Major states, basins
Just three of the major oil- and gas-producing states added rigs during the week. Texas was up 3 units to 845, Kansas gained 2 units to 32, and Ohio increased 1 unit to 39.
Unchanged from a week ago were Oklahoma at 185, New Mexico at 80, Colorado at 62, California at 31, Utah at 26, and Arkansas at 12. Four states were down 1 unit—North Dakota at 168, Pennsylvania at 54, Wyoming at 52, and Alaska at 11. Louisiana lost 3 units to 111. West Virginia reported the steepest decline this week, dropping 4 units to 29.
In the major US basins, the Mississippian boasted the largest gain, upping its total 3 units to 78. In Texas, the Permian and Eagle Ford increased 2 units each to 483 and 216, respectively.
The Granite Wash and Cana Woodford each declined 3 units to 54 and 37, respectively. The Marcellus dipped 5 units to 81.

Safety concerns prompt Kauai landowner to restrict access to popular Kipu Falls
by: Maureen O'Connellposted: Thu Aug 25, 2011 at 01:53 PM
Citing public safety concerns, Grove Farm Company is installing fencing and rolling in boulders to discourage trespassing at Kipu Falls, a popular Kauai swimming hole.
Grove Farm, which owns the land edging the falls near Puhi in East Kauai, is also posting "private property "and "no trespassing signs" to inform area visitors that they may not cross the farm property to reach the falls.
The move to tightly close up the area through which visitors (trespassers, mostly) have accessed the falls for decades was prompted by lawsuits filed against Grove Farm, according to a press release issued by the landowner. In the past five years, five people have died at the falls. Most jumped from the top of the 20-foot waterfall into a pool below, then drowned while attempting to swim to back to land.
Over the last several years, as various visitor guidebooks began mentioning the falls as popular with area residents, visitor traffic along a private road near the falls has increased.
In a written statement, Warren H. Haruki, Grove Farm's president and CEO, said: "Many attempts to change guidebook language and to dissuade people unfamiliar with the area have not been heeded." Consequently, he added, "We have decided to restrict access to the site."
Dr. Monty Downs, a member of the Kauai Water Safety Task Force said: "I will be very saddened that yet another special area is to be taken away from local people who may enjoy spending time there." Downs, a medical doctor, said in a written statement that most visitors from the Mainland and elsewhere "don't have the background to recognize the dangers and the risks" tied to Kipu Falls.
Grove Farm Vice President Marissa Sandblom said installation of metal fencing (pictured, above) began yesterday. Boulders will be placed alongside the private road to deter parking along the shoulder. Vehicles that are parked illegally on the road will be towed at the owner's expense.

On the Move in Snowy Helsinki
As the snow falls, the idyllic summer town is replaced with something completely different, but equally alive with opportunities for a great time.
Helsinki is a compact town, in the best possible way. As the snow envelops the city in an expectant silence, there's always action around the corner and you never have to trek very far. Here are our top things to do in snowy Helsinki.
Helsinki is a modern, pocket-sized European city known for design and high technology. Helsinki's attractive and unique character comes from its proximity to the sea, as well as its location between the East and the West.

Way back in January I reviewed one of my basic beauty steals, Wet n' Wild Color Icon Blush in Pearlescent Pink. The cheap blush is a wearable, lovely pink that can be compared to Nars Orgasm…nice, right? :) This past month, I happened upon a $1 off coupon for a Wet n' Wild product and decided to pick up another blush because it would only be $2 after the coupon. Yes, $2. How could I pass that up? Blush lasts me forever, so there was no point in getting another Pearlescent Pink. I decided to branch out and try Heather Silk (832E).
Heather Silk is a warm, matte rosy pink blush. Each photo is finger-swatched on the left and brush-blended on the right with just one pass of color. Yes, just one pass – this is a very pigmented blush!
The pros:
- Heather Silk is a beautiful medium pink blush. I think this would look especially pretty on tanned, summer skin or darker skin tones.
- It's soft and blends pretty well.
- You don't need to use much, so this will last you forever – you'll probably have to toss it for makeup-hygiene reasons before you hit the pan.
- Quality texture and pigmentation for a cheap price – my wallet and my face are happy with this one! Unless you like to avoid talc, in which case your face might not be happy.
The cons:
- A little goes a long way with this blush, so just watch how much you put on your brush. This blush is darker than Pearlescent Pink, which means it can look a bit clown-ish if applied too heavily. I suggest starting lightly and building up color to where you'd like it – it's easier to add more after than to take it all off and start over again because you were too heavy-handed the first time.
- I hate those little blusher brushes that come with it but I just use my own brush so it's no big deal.
- It could just be me or my blush in particular, but Heather Silk seems a little more powdery than my Pearlescent Pink.
I really like Heather Silk, although Pearlescent Pink is still my favorite out of the two. This one doesn't blend out quite as easily if applied too heavily, and I'm not always graceful with my blush application. You can snag this little drugstore gem for about $3.00 in most drugstores or places that carry mass beauty like Walmart or Target.
What do you think of Wet n' Wild products? What's your go-to blush? How was your Monday? Let me know in the comments! :)

For a good job it seems a bachelors would be fine to climb the ladder in any company lately. I have intentions of doing an MBA from the London school of business and finance. Will it add on to the responsibility and requirement of the better jobs in a good company or career advancement?

Can everyone please comment...
is the supertuck 's best/only position the 4'o clock position? can it be worn anywhere else? I haven't seen it work anywhere else. If anyone is slim like me, it seems to show when i wear my HIgh-noon holster that is tuckable in the 4 o' clock position, so i wear it at about 2 o' clock and works well. Can you all please tell me if you've worn the High Noon altered ego/ closing argument and also the Super tuck by cross breed. I'm wondering which is better for concealment and if there are multiple positions that are recommended , because i've only seen the 4 o'clock position in the cross breed.
thank you very much for your comments/feedback

Gartner security analysts are being bombarded with questions about CYBER security. Is this cyber reality, or cyber hype?
A few years ago, we had seriously entertained the idea of creating a sort of 'IT Buzz Term Hype Cycle', that would map overused prefixes across trigger, hype, disillusionment, and productivity. At the time, 'I-' had reached the peak of hyperfication. Its not hard to envision a future in which the prefix 'cyber' goes the way of the dodo, trapped forever in a linguistic graveyard with the suffix 'dot com'.
In Gartner, we actually do have a concept of cybersecurity, incorporating operational technology into a broader concept of digital domain protection. It is also fair to say that many uses of the term cybersecurity connote, if not denote, the concept of offensive digital warfare. I want to go on the record right now and say that we specifically do NOT recommend that commercial and non-profit users of digital technology develop hackback capabilities.
We live in a constant state of verbal inflation. I started my career in computer security, lived through long painful discussions on whether or not information security was a valid term, and have watched, without actually encouraging, adjectival divergence into information assurance, cybersecurity, and cyberassurance.
All of these terms originally arrived with the best of intentions, bringing new concepts and connotations to a complex and changing cyber world. They inevitably turn into positioning playthings, as commercial entities and government agencies use the latest buzzterms to position themselves as being leaders—in something. Its anybody's guess whether these various terms will evolve into sharply defined meanings not just for small specialty domains, but for the IT world in general.
For the time being, if you want to ask us about cybersecurity, we are going to ask you to provide more details. Are you military? Are you considered critical infrastructure and are you responsible for OT? What is it that you want to protect from whom?
Fresh terminology doesn't necessarily mean that the old concepts were stale.

Relics of the Eagle King
A look at Relics in The Highland, an upcoming Talisman Expansion |
Talisman | Published 21 April 2010 |
Over the past several weeks, as we've awaited the imminent release of The Highland, we've caught glimpses of some of the adventurers preparing to scale the mountain. The clever Alchemist, alluring Vampiress, and hearty Highlander are just a few of the brave heroes competing for power and treasure. But what dangers await them at the summit's peak?
The Eagle King rules from high atop the Eyrie, watching over his beloved realm. Armed with a number of powerful Relics, he fends off all the invaders that seek to despoil the Highland. However, as the the quest for the Crown of Command draws forth all forms of heroes and villains, the Eagle King's legendary Relics quickly become coveted weapons, tempting all power-seekers!
Encountering the Eagle King is no easy task. Anyone wishing to dethrone this magical entity must first brave the dangerous Highland. Only those that are able to travel all the way up to the Eyrie without getting knocked back down to the Crags will be able to challenge the Eagle King. And once the challenge is made, get ready for a fight!
Anyone able to best the Eagle King randomly selects one of his four Relics, all of which hold great power. Having control of any of these will greatly help you on your quest for the Crown of Command.
One of these great Relics is the Eagle King's very mount! Once dismounting the Eagle King, a victorious Crown-seeker has the chance of saddling the legendary Dreadwing.
This enormous raptor is capable of carrying its rider twice as fast as they would normally move. And on a lucky roll, Dreadwing can soar to any space within the same Region!
In addition to speed and vigilance, the Eagle King also protects his realm with powerful weapons. The Windlord Amulet is a powerful magic weapon that can greatly aid its wielder in psychic combat.
These are only two of the Eagle King's powerful Relics, and even if he is defeated by another character, the powerful magics of the Highland will bring him back at full strength. Any following challengers will have a chance at the Eagle King's remaining Relics, and a new contender for the Crown of Command will emerge from the Highland!
. . .
Talisman is a classic board game of adventuring through the lands in search of the powerful Crown of Command. Take control of one of 14 different characters from a powerful Troll to a magical Druid, and enter a beloved world of fantasy adventure!
I hope we see something from the board or adventure/highland cards in the next preview:D
hell, after 13's post i checked the rules, it really is no longer forbidden to use a riding horse in the dungeon, thats a bit powerful, to be honest
12 is right that is a good way how to defy someone whos already on the coc, getting a treasure, i checked those, theres the orb of prophesy, good old prophetess' ability, its mighty
or just getting some instawin item, like the celestial bauble, survive through the dungeon and youre all powerful even at the beginning
someone in our group almost always kicks the lod's butt. the other night my buddy went to the coc via inner region, and could not kill me. i was a good troll w/ lots of money. i got the riding horse and tore through the dungeon 4 times. lol 1st = clockwork owl, 2nd=cloak of feathers, 3rd book of lore, 4th totem staff. i also had like 15 trophies from not turning in for counters to use w/ the totem staff. i was saving them because i was already using fate to reroll for lower attack scores so i wouldnt automatically go to coc.
In my opinion reaching CoC space by Dungeon is much easier than by Inner Rerion. There are lots of items which can give much advance in fighting and defeating LoD (like Staff of Mastery or some powerful Spells) and in additon get powerful treasure. Moreover it is no matter if you defeat LoD +8 or +1 or just by spell - with Cloak of Feathers you can easily reach CoC. If another character is on CoC you can take Wand of Dragonfire or Aegis which makes you almoust unbeatable. If you need spell cycling then you get Book of Lore. Entering CoC via Inner region do not give you any bonuses. I hope that Highlands will keep the same level like Dungeon.Maybe Tower in the future expansion replace CoC space itself - but not the whole inner region because it will be too hard to explore comparing to alternative ways like Dungeon.
Have to agree with Dam. In the 2nd edition dungeon you didnt have to fight the lord of darkness so it was another possible route for a player to get to the crown, with the 4th edition so far i havent seen anyone even try to beat him, as it takes some strength or craft, that you can already put in use on the portal of power and mines/crypt, so its absolutely useless to take the hard way through the dungeon to get a treasure and, maybe, get to the crown, where you dont need the treasure anyway, when you can easily take the usual way. I think itll be all the same with the highland. doesnt mean i wont buy it though:)
Finally a reason not to hate the Crags!
Now the only issue is trying to fit the three boards (base+dungeon+highlands) on the one table.
I like the concept of Relics, for it moves away from generic addons that can be acquired anywhere, like Treasures being used for Quests. Relics give players a reason to have to go into the Highlands versus just being another way to access the general Treasure deck. It's an excellent notion to make something special that is only available in one realm!
Cool !
I like the artwork from the Windlord amulet :D
@ Panda: I don't really mind less Treasure/Relics, it's not like I've been seeing a ton of them in play. Actually, I think just once has there been 2 Treasure in a game, normally only one character challenges the Lord of Darkness and even then about once every third game. Would I have minded seeing more? Of course not, that would be silly :D !
Only 4 relics? Why so many less than in the Dungeon expansion?
I am really looking forward to this one!
Excellent news...now only if we knew when it was coming :-)

Woman finds live owl trapped inside grille of her Ford
Ah, Florida... how we love you so. After all, it almost always seems that the most unlikely, impossible and otherwise head-scratchingest stories filter up north from the Sunshine State. Take, for instance, the video you'll see below. It's not terribly uncommon for a car to come into contact with an owl; what's interesting about this story is that the owl managed to survive.
That's right, this great horned owl survived blunt-force trauma with the leading end of a fullsize, body-on-frame Expedition, and worse, it was apparently stuck inside the Ford for days. Check out the feather-brained video news report down below to see how the hooter hit head-on and came out the other side apparently no worse for the wear.
