The SLU Area Health Education Center Program Office was established in September, 2001. The primary goal of the office is to enhance access to quality healthcare through community-academic educational partnerships focusing on the healthcare needs of the underserved St. Louis area. The program office works in conjunction with the Missouri AHEC Network (MAHEC), which consists of 7 regional centers and 3 program offices. The SLU AHEC Program Office works directly with the East Central Missouri Area Health Education Center (ECMO AHEC) providing services in the St. Louis Region and within SLU health professions programs.
The SLU AHEC Program Office is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Health Professions. The Program Office administers a multidisciplinary academic consortium at SLU that includes representatives from the cooperating schools of Medicine, Nursing, Allied Health, Public Health, and Social Service.
AHEC Objectives:
Develop recruitment programs throughout the region, with a focus on medically underserved urban areas, that enhance understanding of health careers and provide academic and skills programs for underrepresented populations entering health professions training programs. Support academic and community-based multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary training for primary care health profession students, residents, and physicians that develop understanding and skills to eliminate health disparities and serve culturally diverse populations. Provide educational support, information dissemination, and technical assistance to reduce professional isolation, increase retention, and enhance the practice environment of physicians practicing in underserved areas.
Please contact the program administrator for more details on dates and deadlines.
The Biomedical Careers Program (BCP) began in 1978 as an academic enrichment program for undergraduate students interested in careers in the health professions. The program targets undergraduates who are economically and/or educationally disadvantages. BCP offers an intensive six-week summer program to serve students at all stages of undergraduate education. Students take part in a variety of science enrichment and healthcare-oriented activities.
BCP is sponsored by UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) and the Health Careers Opportunity Program.
The academic component consists of science courses, relevant lab work, research and clinical experience as well as cognitive skills seminars and MCAT preparation.
The Biomedical Careers Program consists of three levels:
Level I
Level I is designed for students who have just begun pre-professional studies and have completed at least one year of college and one semester of general chemistry, introductory biology and introductory math, respectively.
Level II
Level II is designed for students who have completed at least one semester of general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, college-level mathematics and two semesters of general biology.
Level III
Level III is designed for students who are at or near the point of applying to professional schools and have completed most pre-professional science requirements.
Placement of students will be based on an evaluation of each student's overall academic record, including all courses taken and performance in these courses.
The following are the minimum course requirements which must be completed by the start of the program. Courses may be in progress at the time of application; however, in such cases the Admissions Committee may require a grade report prior to making a decision.
Minimum Requirements:
We welcome students who have previously participated in BCP to reapply for admission to a more advanced level.
Because the Biomedical Careers Program is supported by New Jersey state institutions, priority is given to:

Van Morrison – Dum Dum George lyrics
This heres the story about
Dumb, dumb george,
Who came up to boston
One sunny afternoon.
He drove up from new york city,
And he was freaky,
And he wanted to record me,
And I said,
Youre dumb.
And he said, I know.
Why do you think I make so much money.
I wanna do
A record
Thatll make number one.
Dumb, dumb.

Many thought that if there would be one beneficiary of the housing market crash it would be apartment owners. Turns out, no so much:
When the foreclosure crisis hit Las Vegas, many expected apartment-complex owners to be the beneficiaries because those out-on-the-street homeowners needed to live somewhere.
But the reality is that the shadow rental market of homes and condominiums continues to put pressure on apartment-complex owners, whose vacancies are increasing. They must offer incentives and cut rents to lure tenants.
All the foreclosures on homes and condos have flooded the rental market with properties and that won't end until the housing market recovers.

In "Exploring Our Values Through Poetry," a Tapestry of Faith program
Use the Opening designed by your group or the one provided below.
Gather around the chalice. As a volunteer lights the chalice, ask the group to focus on the word "love" in silence. After about fifteen seconds, invite participants to speak freely into the space a word or two that they associate with the word "love." When everyone who wishes to speak has had a chance to do so, close by saying,
May the space we create here today be wide enough to hold all our individual ideas and deep enough to allow those ideas to grow, to fruit, and to provide seeds for new beginnings.
Introduce today's workshop with these words:
From the moment we can toddle around and give sloppy kisses, we are presented with attractive, compelling images of love. These images suggest what love should look like, what love can do for us, and how necessary love is to complete us. As we move through our lives, the fantasy of the perfect, romantic love often comes into conflict with our experiences. Our own sexuality and our impossibly high expectations for what another person can give us are just two of many complicating factors. This workshop seeks to help us understand why romantic love is so compelling and to challenge us to be more conscious about how we define, experience, and conduct ourselves in love.

Awesome Dad Makes Geeky Alphabet Blocks for His Son
When you have a newborn son and want to give him some cool toys, I can't think of anything better than making something yourself. That's what Jonathan G. did here, making these cool laser-engraved wood blocks for his child.
He started his work on them before the baby was even born, but didn't finish until his son's first birthday. Look at the image here and you will see why. These are some nicely detailed alphabet blocks, clearly made with love. There are 36 blocks in all. They cover the English alphabet and ten digits, showing 134 images of people, animals, monsters, robots, vehicles, organizations, devices, tools, and objects from some of our favorite movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games, and more.
You can check out all of the individual block designs up close on Flickr.
Great job, Jonathan. It looks like your son's geek education is off to a great start.

'We are the Best'
★★★ 1/2
"You're in the greatest and in the world," says 12-year-old Klara, when her best friend Bobo, in need of a bit of comfort, asks her to name one good thing in her life.
And, in a sense, it's true. Never mind that neither one of them can play an instrument.
Swedish director Lukas Moodysson's "We are the Best!" based on a semi-autobiographical graphic novel by his wife Coco, captures a moment in the early '80s when the cultural wave of punk rock had reached its high-water mark and begun to roll back, but not without depositing a few true believers on the shore. In this case they were a couple of barely teenage girls in Stockholm.
Bright, middle-class and thoroughly appalled by their parents and the prospect of becoming like the popular girls in their class, feisty, contentious Klara (Mira Grosin) and shy, comparatively vulnerable Bobo (Mira Barkhammar) look to their favorite Swedish punk bands for solace.
It never occurs to them to form a band themselves until they spontaneously sign up for a rehearsal room at the local youth center, just to keep a group of obnoxious metal heads from using it. Klara chooses the bass, grudgingly gets behind the drums and that's all it takes. Knowing how to play is irrelevant; it's enough that they can make a lot of noise.
Like so many afflicted teens around the world, Klara and Bobo loathe and despise gym class, so their first song is the anti-PE "Hate the Sport." ("Children in Africa are dying/But all you care about is balls flying.")
They've got the right spirit, yet they're hampered by a complete and utter lack of musical ability, until spotting an older girl playing classical guitar at the school talent show. That's after scoring one of the film's funniest moments, by the way, as they suffer through a squad of girly-girl classmates dancing to the Human League's "Don't You Want Me."
Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne) is a devout Christian, but Klara sees that as a plus since she'll have the chance to convert her to atheism. And it helps that the shy, studious Hedvig is also a social outcast. There's no denying that they sound better after she teaches them to play in time and on key.
That's not really the point, though, since "We are the Greatest!" isn't a showbiz rise and fall story. It's a story about youth, friendship and the raw, raucous energy that's unleashed when these three girls find something to be passionate about.
The story has plenty of incidents — experiments with drinking, boys and radical hairstyles — but they're secondary to the honesty and vitality of the girls' often-improvisational performances. Presented in loose, seemingly haphazard style, with hand-held photography, it's all complementary to the do-it-yourself aesthetic of punk.
That doesn't mean the girls are unfailingly charming and delightful. They're punks, after all, and the whole idea is to be annoying, or, in their case, bratty. You might find yourself wishing, from time to time during "We are the Greatest!" that Iggy Pop would show up and give them a good spanking.
But that just means they're getting the job done.

By Mandy Feder Managing Editor --
With cockroaches, constant rejection and careers to consider, Charlie Day embarked on his new life. He graduated from college, deciding against a secure financial position in Boston -- opting for poverty and the unknown in New York City.
Through a series of unorthodox life choices based on a desire to fulfill his dreams, Day emerged triumphant, but not without paying his dues first.
"Everything I'm truly proud of in this life has been a terrifying prospect to me. From my first play, to hosting Saturday Night Live, getting married, being a father, speaking to you today. None of it comes easy. People will tell you to do what makes you happy, but all this has been hard work. And I'm not always happy," Day said during his commencement address at his Alma mater, Merrimack College.
"I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard, but pays off in the long run. Be willing to fail. Let yourself fail. Fail in the way and place where you would be proud to fail. Fail and pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway? As best we know, we have one life. In it, you must trust your own voice, your own ideas ..."
He said he's "always had a half-baked philosophy that having plan B can muddy up your plan A, and he moved to the Big Apple. "I bussed tables and answered phones. I lived in a basement apartment next to a garbage chute.
Day epitomized Winston Churchill's words: "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."
After a few years in New York, Day was doing bit parts in films and on TV.
"I couldn't get that big break. After many, many failed attempts of getting cast in television something popped up. It looked as though I was going to be offered a part on a big network show."
Around the same time Day and his friends Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton were filming a show with borrowed cameras in his apartment, because he was tired of waiting for his big break. That show is now "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." It is in its 10th season, which is only possible because Day declined the big network opportunity and bet on himself and his friends over security and money.
The big network show ran only one season.
"We are currently filming our 10th season of Sunny.' We've written and produced 114 episodes and are signed on for another two seasons making Sunny' one of the longest running comedies of all time," Day said.
"Don't wait for your break. Make your break. Make it happen for yourself."
Milton Berle once said, "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."
Charlie Day built a door. He invited Danny DeVito in, and he's still there.
"You cannot let a fear of failure or a fear of comparison or a fear of judgment stop you from doing the things that will make you great. You cannot succeed without the risk of failure. You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism. You cannot love without the risk of loss. You must take these risks," Day said.
As the late, great Maya Angelou said, "I have learned that making a living is not the same as making a life."
Congratulations, graduates. Have no fear; your life awaits. Make it everything you want it to be. Be great.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months.

ATTN Single Ladies: Ross and Rachel Got It Wrong
We were glued to our televisions. He was a paleontologist, she was a spoiled waitress but they were in love. For ten seasons we were invested in their dating life. Single ladies everywhere swooned when he kissed her for the first time at Central Perk. They were together. They were on a break. They had a baby. She didn't take her dream job in Paris to stay with him in New York. They were Ross Geller and Rachel Green and we were hooked. In la-la-land an on again/off again relationship can work. In the real world, it's not such a good idea. After the jump we explore exactly why that is.
Dating is complicated. You search the personals on your favorite online dating site looking for men. You find one that catches your eye and the two of you embark on a Ross and Rachel courtship that lasts ten years. It sounds so romantic, doesn't it? According to a new study done by Kansas State University, couples in cyclical relationships have weaker bonds than those who have stayed together.
Couples engaged in on again/off again relationships were shown to be more impulsive when they were together and rushed things like moving in together and having kids. The study goes on to further state that cyclical couples were less satisfied with each other and lacked the same tight-knit closeness that sturdy non-cyclical couples had.
Ross and Rachel may have looked like they were engaging in a glamorous relationship on TV but in real life, this isn't so. Breaking up and getting back together with the same person over and over again can wreak havoc on your self-esteem (especially if you're a Capricorn). You fear being single so you reconnect with the guy you feel comfortable with. Looking for men can be taxing and yes, some couples who break up and make up do live happily ever after. However, it is less likely that they'll have the same open communication that couples who aren't on again/off again have.
If you're looking to get back together with an ex think about it carefully before you jump back into the relationship. Single ladies everywhere don't want to be single but is it worth pretending to be Ross and Rachel? Before you call your on again/off again boyfriend make sure you're ready for the inevitable: another break up.

I just found out that our water softener in our new house sends salty waste water (after it cycles)through drain tile out to the woods that are in the back yard. The guys in my family tell me older systems used to send the waste water into the septic system, but the new ones don't because the salt hurts the septic's longevity.
The tree that is closest to the outlet is unhealthy. The neighbor's outlet has prevented EVERYTHING from growing in a 2'X 30' patch downhill. How do we collect this salty waste water (40 Gal) produced weekly and prevent it from reaching the soil?
Thank you for helping to save my trees. Squirrel Girl |

the quickest way to reduce the salt concentration is to flush with lots of fresh water. Do you think you need soft water? In our area the water isn't that hard and I generally remove the system. soft water is generally used for washing. |

Thank you for the response. It looks like flushing the system with more water will be the plan. Unfortunately, without the softener, our plumbing fixtures and toilet get a thick deposit of scale in no time. My husband is especially worried about the scale that may be forming in the pipes where we can't clean it. Thanks for the suggestion to flush with more water. Squirrel Girl |

Although the damage cannot be undone, using different water softening systems would help. The best is to check out the website given in the link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: water softening systems
sg, Here is my $0.02. Sending the flow from the softener system to a large raised barrel to dilute it with rainwater/municipal water before sending it to the woods. Also maybe sending it to more than one location after dilution would lessen its impact. How much and how frequent of an amount are you experiencing? Aloha |

She now teaches middle school outdoor education at Boston University's Sargent Center for Outdoor Education, a small, rural middle school in New Hampshire. She enjoys her time teaching outdoor education, including environmental and adventure education, at this alternative but very rewarding school environment. She "loves working with students and seeing the progress they make as individuals and as a group."
Her least favorite thing about teaching is "the enormous amount of pressure I feel to meet objectives and goals that sometimes doesn't leave me the time to allow the kids to explore and learn in a relaxed environment." She wishes she had known during her time at Williams "more about the large range of jobs in education that were outside of the immediate classroom teacher model."

"This recipe was delicious! I used about 2-1/2lbs of chicken, but tripled up on the sauce after reading some of the reviews. I did do less sugar since my bf is a diabetic, (didn't want it too sweet). However, I did not think that it was spicy. I think next time I will actually add more of the red pepper flakes for a little more of a kick!"

A corporation may not enter into membership agreements with individuals to render dental services to such members at specified prices, such services to be rendered by licensed dentists employed by the corporation.
Dentists entering into such a contract with a corporation to render services to the members of the corporation would be in violation of the dental laws.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
June 5, 1957
Honorable George C. StarlundAssistant DirectorDepartment of LicensesGeneral Administration BuildingOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 57-58 No. 80
Dear Sir:
By letter previously acknowledged you have submitted to this office two questions concerning chapter 18.32 RCW, which we paraphrase as follows:
(1) Can a corporation enter into membership agreements with individuals to render dental services to such members at specified prices, such services to be rendered by licensed dentists employed by the corporation, without violating the provisions of RCW 18.32.290 and RCW 18.32.310?
(2) Can a registered dentist enter into a contract with such a corporation to perform dental services to be rendered by the dentist at prices specified in the membership agreement without violating the same two sections of the code?
The answer to both questions is in the negative.
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
With your request you have submitted two forms of contracts. One contract is between the American Dental Service, Inc., as party of the first part, and Dr. E. Z. Kreidel, a licensed dentist, as party of the second part. The second contract is between the Washington Dental Service, Inc., as party of the first part, and Dr. Gail W. Wiener, a licensed dentist, as party of the second part. With both of these contracts you have submitted the forms of membership agreements entered into between the company and the participating members together with schedules showing the average cost of dental services listed, and comparative costs to members for each service.
The two contracts contain similar provisions as follows:
(1) That each company will sell membership plans wherein the company guarantees to the participating member to provide dental care at reduced rates as provided and set forth in the membership contracts; copies of the membership agreements together with schedule of costs being attached to each contract with the dentist.
(2) That the second party, the dentist, in each contract agrees to render all dental service provided in said membership agreement to all members referred to the dentist by the company at the prices listed under the heading "Members' Cost" as contained in the attached schedule of cost.
The difference in the two contracts is as follows:
In contract No. 1, paragraph 3 thereof, the company agrees to pay the dentist the agreed price for services to members of the company who have defaulted in payment for his services. In the second contract, the company makes no commitment to pay the dentist for services rendered to defaulting members of the company, but does agree to pay to the dentist 25% of all net membership fees collected by the company.
Also submitted with your request were copies of the articles of incorporation of both companies. These articles have been carefully examined and we note differences in the articles as follows:
[[Orig. Op. Page 3]]
The objects and purposes of the American Dental Service, Inc., are, as stated in Article II, as follows:
"1. To transact the business of promoting, developing and acquiring a relationship with reputable and licensed dentists, for the purpose of providing a plan or a system of adequate low cost dental care for individuals, families, groups or organizations, industrial employees' groups, and others.
"2. To draft, promote, sell and convey contracts providing for low cost dental care on a membership plan basis to the general public.
"3. To develop and maintain all necessary facilities, means and properties for the purpose of carrying on the promoting, selling and maintaining of a low cost membership plan of dental care for the general public."
The objects and purposes of the Washington Dental Service, Inc., as stated in Article II of its articles of incorporation are as follows:
"1. To transact business of promoting, developing and acquiring relationship with reputable and licensed dentists for the purpose of providing a system of adequate prepaid dental care for individuals, families, groups, industrial employee group and others.
"2. To draft, promote, sell and convey contracts providing for prepaid dental care to the general public.
"3. To develop and maintain all necessary facilities, means and property for the purpose of carrying on the promoting, selling and maintaining of prepaid dental care for the general public."
As we interpret the contracts of both companies with their respective dentists, the sole purpose of each corporation is to sell memberships to the public, and thereby issue membership cards to the participating members which entitle such members, for a period of one year, to receive from dentists employed by the company dental services at reduced prices as specified in the membership agreement.
[[Orig. Op. Page 4]]
The laws applying to the questions here presented, are as follows:
RCW 18.32.290 subsections (6) and (7) provide:
"It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation:
"(6) To advertise any amount as a price or fee for the services of any person engaged as a principal or agent in the practice of dentistry, or for any material or materials whatsoever used or to be used; or
"(7) To employ 'cappers' or 'steerers' to obtain patronage;"
And, RCW 18.32.310, in so far as material, provides:
"No corporation shall practice dentistry, or in any manner solicit dental patronage for any dentists or dental surgeons employed by any corporation: . . ."
Questions very similar to the ones here involved were presented to our supreme court in the case ofState ex rel. Lundin v. Merchants Protective Corporation, 105 Wash. 12, 177 Pac. 694. In this case a "merchants protective corporation" sold to individuals in the business community membership certificates for a fee of $10.00, which entitled a holder thereof to legal services consisting, in part, of a defense of the member from any civil or criminal action in any justice of the peace or police court without further cost to the member. The corporation also undertook to provide legal advice on all new state laws and city ordinances without charge to the certificate holder. The corporation at the same time entered into a contract with a firm of attorneys whereby the attorneys agreed to render the services provided for in the membership certificate to any holder thereof. A portion of the membership fee collected by the corporation was paid to the attorneys for their services.
The court in its opinion pointed out that the methods employed were of a very elusive nature, but that apparently the only function of the corporation was the solicitation of members and the collection of membership fees; and that the attorneys under contract with the corporation became to all intents [[Orig. Op. Page 5]] and purposes either the corporation itself, or the agents of the corporation in rendering the service which the corporation had agreed to furnish to its members. Concerning this arrangement, reading from page 16 of the opinion the court said:
"We are convinced, therefore, that the respondent corporation is either a mere pretense for the gathering of money, without thought or intent of carrying out its declared object in good faith, or that, if it is a responsible body, it is engaged as a corporation in the practice of the law. It must take one position or the other. If it is the one, there is no legal excuse for its existence, certainly none for its doing business in the state of Washington, for it is no more than a broker soliciting legal business for lawyers who are to become principals in the transaction, which of itself would make them amenable to discipline. If it is the other, it is a principal doing business through its agents (its attorneys); it is violating the letter and the spirit of our law, as well as a sound public policy. If it is doing the things that it assumes to do in its articles, it is giving legal advice and counsel, and prosecuting without fee, other than the membership fee, the suits of its subscribers in the police and justice courts, and it is advising them upon all state laws and city ordinances, and will, if need be, prosecute criminally those who have offended against its membership. This is a practice of the law. Meisel & Co. v. National Jewelers' Board of Trade, 90 Misc. Rep. 19, 152 N.Y. Supp. 913;Savings Bank v. Ward, 100 U.S. 195; Thornton, Attorneys at Law, § 69.
"The practice of the law is not a business that is open to a commercial corporation.
"'Since, as has been seen, the practice of law is not a lawful business except for members of the bar who have complied with all the conditions required by statute and the rules of the courts, and as these conditions cannot be performed by a corporation, it follows that the practice of law is not a lawful business for a corporation to engage in. As it cannot practice law directly, it cannot do so indirectly, by employing competent lawyers to practice for it, as that would be an evasion which the law will not tolerate.' 2 R.C.L. 946."
[[Orig. Op. Page 6]]
The court then pointed out that the practice of law is a personal right and could not be exercised by a corporation even though it attempted to act through licensed attorneys employed as agents of the corporation. Reading from page 18 of the opinion, the court made the following pertinent statement:
"When stripped of all fabrication, the respondent has taken money from its subscribers under a contract of retainer to care for their legal business to the extent declared in its certificate of membership. This the law, as well as the policy of the law governing the admission and conduct of attorneys, forbids."
The paragraph just quoted, with the change of a few words, might well be fitted to the identical factual situation presented by these dental service contracts. So transposed, the citation would read as follows:
When stripped of all fabrication, the dental service company has taken money from its subscribers under a contract of retainer to care for their dental services to the extent and at the prices declared in its certificate of membership. This the law, as well as the policy of the law governing the licensing and conduct of dentists, forbids.
It is therefore our conclusion that in each of the contracts hereinabove referred to the service company is acting as a "capper" or "steerer" (as those words are used in RCW 18.32.290, supra,) to obtain patronage for the dentist. In contacting the public to effect the sale of memberships, the company would inevitably quote the reduced dental cost as the only inducement to the purchase of the membership. This constitutes the advertising of dental service and puts both the dentist and the company in violation of RCW 18.32.290 (6) and (7).
The service company is also violating RCW 18.32.310 in that it is both practicing dentistry and soliciting dental patronage for a dentist employed by it.
The contracting dentist is associating with and aiding and abetting an unlicensed person (the service company) in the practice of dentistry. This [[Orig. Op. Page 7]] is a violation of RCW 18.32.230 (5) and (7), for which the license of the dentist could be revoked.
We are not unmindful of an opinion issued from this office to the insurance commissioner February 12, 1957, AGO 57-58 No. 16. That opinion involved an interpretation of the health care service act, chapter 48.44 RCW only. No question of a possible violation of the dental laws of the state of Washington was either presented or considered.
Very truly yours,
JOHN J. O'CONNELLAttorney General
ROY C. FOXAssistant Attorney General

Dewatsuru Kimoto JunmaiJH55
The nose on this "pole rammed" sake is a wonderful collection of roasted rice, chestnuts, honey and nougat aromas. This is very solid kimoto sake that feels great in the palate. Think smooth, round, creamy, fat, rich, and very velvety. Look for roasted, ricy, and chocolaty flavors that become more like rich fruit tones as the fluid warms. If you have never tried sun warming a sake for a cool evening this is the brew. Great at so many different temperatures because it is so balanced. WORD: Rich WINE: Pinot Noir/Fat Whites BEER: Creamy Belgians FOODS: Rich cuisines, grilled veggies, salty savory off of the grill.

in my potager i have 4 of the raised beds are triangles – 4x4x6 – in the center of the triangle i am planting (in a partially sunken terra cotta pot) a canna lily , tropicana - the garden has other terra cotta and i use tuscan colors as much as possible
what suggestions do you have as companion plantings around the tropicanna, canna lily – thanks mr toad |
Follow-Up Postings:
Homestead Purple verbena.....obviously purple Gaillardia 'Arizona Sun' or 'Goblin' Both are 10-12". Tuscan-y colors of yellow on the outside of the petals and orangy red at the centers. The 'Kiss' Gazanias. Mixed solid colors of yellow, oranges and reds. These are 10-12" also. Some of the Lantanas..... I am assuming you want something that can take all day sun and the summer heat and still look good, as well as blooming at the same time as the cannas. Marcy |

I'd suggest Black PEarl Peppers or any pepper that has dark purple leaves. marcy is right. Purple looks wonderful with tropicana cannas. If you want something more permanent, purple barberry or a small loropetalum (Purple Pixie or Purple Diamond) would be great with this plant too. |

My four Adagio have started blooming. I know they bloomed earlier than my other grasses(Miscanthus) last year, but I was thinking it was late August when they bloomed...this is their third year..Is this typical? Is anyone else's blooming now? They were marked 'Adagio' and they look just like the ones on the amberwaves website, so I'm assuming that they are 'Adagio'....thanx
Also, does anyone grow Pennisetum Orientale 'Tall Tales'?..I planted 4 this Spring, so they are pretty small.... maybe 1' across x 3' tall..they have been blooming for 3 weeks and put out another bloom or two every week... even tho they are babies..they grow like a weed..I'm really liking them and was wondering about other's experience with them...thanx |

Sunday 13 February 13 – The Day After: 1st of May Square, Algeria's "Little Tahrir", looks bizarrely normal the morning after the 12 February opposition protest that defied a massive police deployment. The fountain is back on and there are only a few ordinary cops around, compared with the thousands from the anti-riot squad who blanketed the space on Sunday, arresting hundreds. I am picked up in the square to attend the follow up meeting of the protest's organisers, the National Coordinating Committee for Change and Democracy (CNCD), at a union hall near the airport. The elderly lawyer Ali Yahia Abdennour opens the discussion: "They beat our old and young, our women and men." He calls for demonstrations the following Saturday and every Saturday thereafter until the entire Algerian population descends into the streets. The meeting ratifies his idea, declaring another protest 19 February on 1st of May Square.
Dans un pays où toute liberté d'expression est étouffée, des opposants au régime de Mouammar Kadhafi ont lancé un appel à manifester, jeudi 17 février, contre le despotisme du pouvoir en place. L'appel à cette "journée de la colère" a été lancé sur Internet, avec l'espoir d'imiter les révolutions en Tunisie et en Egypte, deux pays voisins.
Les images ont tourné en boucle sur les chaînes internationales. Elles ont illustré d'innombrables articles de la presse de la planète. Ces images sont celles de ces hommes et de ces femmes molestés par la police algérienne lors de la manifestation qui s'est déroulée samedi 12 février à Alger. Parmi ces personnes interpellées, rudoyées, maltraitées par la police, il y avait Manel, 25 ans, venue manifester pacifiquement. DNA a recueilli son témoignage. Le voici brut.
Amnesty International has condemned the Iranian authorities for breaking up an apparently peaceful march held in Tehran in support of Egyptian and Tunisian protests. Protests were also reportedly held in other cities across Iran, such as Esfahan, Shiraz and Kermanshah. Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi were placed under house arrest by the authorities ahead of the protests on Monday.
يهنئ ملتقى المنظمات المستقلة لحقوق الإنسان الشعب المصري على نجاح ثورته في الإطاحة بالديكتاتور حسني مبارك، الذي أهدر كرامة وإنسانية المصريين لثلاثة عقود. ويحيي بشكل خاص شهداء الثورة، والجيل الشاب الذي أشعل شرارة الانتفاضة وأبدع في تنظيمها، وكافح ببسالة من أجل تحقيق هدفها الأول بالإطاحة بالديكتاتور، بقيادة ائتلاف الحركة الشبابية.
As a sequel to their edited volume, Land of the Unconquerable: The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women (University of California Press, March 2011), Jennifer Heath, independent scholar, author and editor of nine books, and Ashraf Zahedi, a University of California, Berkley scholar, are assembling an edited book about the children of Afghanistan. The first of its kind, this comprehensive collection will examine the impact of socio-economic, political, and cultural factors that shape the lives of Afghan children from birth to the legal marriage ages of 16 and 18 and that contextualizes their experiences in diverse social settings. Articles (no longer than 5,000 words) will be due on May 1st, 2011.
According to a recent study carried out by Transparency International, Somalia was deemed to be the most corrupt nation in the world. The economic and political instability of Somalia has made it the site of many human rights violations, particularly against women. Females are underrepresented in the workforce as well as education. In fact, slightly over 1/3 of the students at the primary school level are girls, and very little progress has been made in this regard.
On the occasion of the International Day of Women Human Rights Defenders on November 29 and the 10th anniversary of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325, the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD IC) critically reflects on Structures of Violence: Defining the Intersections of Militarism and Violence Against Women, the theme of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence for 2010. The experience of discrimination, intimidation and attack of women human rights defenders lies at the intersection of their gender identity and their position as dissenters in their societies, particularly when working on women's or sexual rights.
CWP published a new report today, titled "All-Out War: Israel Against Democracy."

Judge needs more time before leaving Lake County juvie seat
By Michael GOnzalez Post-Tribune correspondent February 22, 2013 2:00PM
Updated: March 24, 2013 6:09AM
CROWN POINT — Retiring Lake County Juvenile Court Judge Mary Beth Bonaventura Friday said there is no mystery or "hidden agenda" to putting off her retirement date.
"There is nothing to hide," Bonaventura said. "It's just that after 31 years on the bench, it's taking me longer than I expected to wrap things up."
Earlier this month, Bonaventura announced she would retire Feb. 28 to become the new director of the high-profile Indiana Department of Child Services after being tapped for the position by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Days later, Lake Superior Court Judge Nicholas Schiralli, who has been the Room One county court judge for almost four decades, exercised his seniority, per a 2000 state law, to transfer to juvenile court.
Schiralli on Thursday confirmed Bonaventura drafted a memo indicating she was putting off her retirement without listing a new, specific effective date.
Bonaventura said she delayed her retirement to square things away in the juvenile court and detention center and other matters, such as several cases for which she was named a special judge.
Bonaventura initially picked the end of February so she could move into the DCS position more quickly. The DCS has been without a permanent director since former Marion County Judge James Payne resigned in September, following allegations he tried to influence a department case involving children in his family.
Kara Brooks, a spokeswoman for Pence, said Bonaventura advised the governor about the delay on Tuesday. Brooks also said DCS "has a strong leader in place, Interim Director John Ryan."
Kathryn Dolan, the Indiana State Supreme Court's public information officer, could not confirm Chief Justice Brent Dickson received notice from Bonaventura of her plans to delay retirement, but Dolan said Justice Robert Rucker, who chairs the Lake County Nominating Commission "has been made aware Judge Bonaventura has reconsidered that (retirement) date."

Dartmoor (Devon, England) ~ beautiful moorlands . . .

It is an absolutely beautiful place; the cinematography is wonderful too.
Henry Ford's Advice | No Bailout . . .
American industrialist and pioneer of the assembly-line production method.
I wonder what he would have to say about the pitiful state of the American automobile industry?
Maybe all those boys in Washington should take a break today and read some words of wisdom from Henry Ford.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence.
A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.
People can have the Model T in any color--so long as it's black.
As an industrialist Henry Ford's #1 rule was: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.
Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time. A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large. All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don't let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance.

Tina Fey has rules. They've guided the 38-year-old writer-comedian through marriage, motherhood, and a career that went into hyperdrive this fall, when her Sarah Palin impression convulsed the nation, boosting the ratings of both Saturday Night Live and her own NBC show, 30 Rock. Backstage at S.N.L., where "Palin" met Palin, and at the home Fey shares with her husband and daughter, the author reports on how a tweezer, cream rinse, a diet, and a Teutonic will transformed a mousy brain into a brainy glamour-puss.

Christie's September 25, 2008 Americana Sale . . .
Allegory of the Masonic Virtue of Wisdom, oil on canvas, 40¼" x 48", signed and dated "S. Jones 1836" and inscribed with the words "Wisdom" and "Strength." Estimated at $20,000/30,000, it sold to New York collectors in the salesroom for $56,250, underbid on the phone.
Estimated at $20,000/40,000, this small folk art chest sold for $23,750 to a dealer in the salesroom.
Description: Grain-painted seed box, attributed to John Palm Boyer (1833-1901) of Brickerville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 1870- 1900. It has its original white porcelain pulls, and each drawer is inscribed with the name of a seed. The high bracket feet, scalloped skirt, porcelain drawer pulls, and slanted lid are typical of Boyer's work. Made of recycled wood, this one incorporated a shipping box for Johnson & Son, a wood finish company, as the baseboard. Three rows of six drawers are unusual; most have three rows of an odd number of drawers and a fourth row of smaller drawers. For more information on seed chests, see John Long and John Boyer: 19th-Century Craftsmen in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by Donald Herr, published by the Heritage Center of Lancaster County in 2006.
I think it pays to be in the audience if you really want something.
Take care of your antiques and they will take care of you.

Six Channel Digital Crossover / Equalizer with Memory
The six inputs on the DQXS allow it to interface with a multitude of source units, whether they have two, four, our six output channels. The DQXS's programming menu actually allows a user to select an input configuration that optimizes the systems performance. Additionally, the DQXS is equipped with high impedance inputs, which means it can accept high wattage signals from most factory installed source units and amplifiers.
Additionally AudioControl has equipped the DQXS with a full 3-way electronic crossover. A user has the ability to send signals to front highpass, front bandpass, rear highpass and subwoofer outputs. An exclusive AudioControl feature, the Programmable Frequency Match ( PFM ) subsonic filter is also provided to minimize any infrasonic signals from compromising the performance of the system. Given that the DQXS is digitally controlled, a user can easily select crossover points in precise 1/12-octave increments.
AudioControl Equalizers - video
Six Channel Three-way Crossover
Outputs for Front Highpass, Front Bandpass, Rear Highpass, and Subwoofer Outputs
All crossovers and equalization settings can be saved and or recalled by a user from one of eight non-volatile memory locations. Optionally, the DQXS can be operated from the drivers seat or other location using AudioControl's DDC (Digital Dash Control) which is sold separately. Released earlier this year, the DDC is a DIN shaped control that allows remote operation of most AudioControl digital processors.

A movie should be made...
we are the Sith Imperium, a new name for a new order. Do not mistake our intent, we are not tyrants who exploit the weak for personal gain. we too believe in a galaxy at peace. However, we do not fear the dark side and the powers it brings, and we intend to use it in our endeavour for a peaceful galaxy.
Is this also somewhere on YouTube?
BTW Awesome vid ;)
Yes, it's on YouTube. And there are several more, too.
Youtube.com - this one is my favourite.
A Galaxy in turmoil... An Alliance, surrounded. An Invaison, supreme. A Unity, divided.
War is everywhere, as is Death and Pain and Greed and Destruction. Heroes are all sides, and corruption plagues anything it touches. Massive weapons of utter destruction have been raised, innocents die.

''Hero'' lived up to its name at the box office this weekend, claiming the top spot to become the second No. 1 foreign-language film of the year.
Six months after the debut of ''The Passion of the Christ,'' which was in Latin and Aramaic, Jet Li's action thriller premiered with $17.8 million domestically, after a mega-successful international run in 2002. ''Hero'''s tally, however, was lower than the $18.1 million of last week's top film, ''Exorcist: The Beginning.''
The sequel ''Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid'' had to settle for second place despite opening in almost 1,000 more theaters than ''Hero.'' ''Anacondas''' $13.2 million gross is a bit lower than the $16.6 million debut of the original, which starred Jennifer Lopez, in 1997.
The goofy comedy ''Without a Paddle'' slipped a surprisingly low 36 percent from its debut last weekend, placing third with $8.7 million, while ''The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement'' dropped 38 percent to $8.1 million. Meanwhile, ''Exorcist'' plummeted 63 percent to only $6.7 million in its second weekend.
The week's two other new wide releases tanked: The thriller ''Suspect Zero'' grossed $3.4 million (10th place), while the sequel ''Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2'' placed 11th, with $3.3 million. Maybe they should have dubbed their dialogue into Chinese.

As a child, I despised calling on other children. I dreaded the awkward interaction with parents, the strangely inherent sense of authority held over me by a complete stranger and the feeling that I was interrupting or presenting an imposition with my request to hang out with their offspring.
I vividly remember an uncomfortable moment from my childhood in which I knocked on the door of my friend Mark, who lived in my neighborhood. His mother answered, and when I asked her if Mark could come and play, she said something incoherent to me about baseball. I informed her that yes, it was entirely possible that we might play baseball, and then we stood silently in the foyer of her home for what seemed like ten minutes.
Finally, she told me to come back another time, and so I left, certain that Mark's mother was a little bit deranged. Walking home, friendless, I pieced together the words I knew she said to me from our awkward exchange with the words she might have spoken. The results of my word investigation revealed that I had failed to understand Mark couldn't waste time with me because he was practicing baseball.
I thought about how absurd it was to practice something like baseball. It seemed like homework, something I avoided by playing baseball. In my mind, putting effort into getting better at a game defeated the whole purpose of playing the game. Later, when Mark emerged as the best player on our baseball team, I justified his superiority on the field by the fact that he practiced. I reconciled the gulf in ability between us by saying to myself that I could be just as good if I was willing to lower myself to actually trying to do so.
I didn't realize it at the time, but my internal rationalization was similar to the underlying principles of the grotesque modern Olympic ideal. Masked in the false virtues of amateurism, superior athletes who competed professionally were outcast in favor of those who leaned on their own means to fund a more leisurely training, or had the political gravitas of an aristocratic surname that was able to induce government investment in their recreation.
