Super Mario 3D World Review
There's nothing quite like a new Mario adventure to get you excited to turn on your Nintendo console. From the Wii's Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. franchises, to the 3DS' Super Mario 3D Land, we've had a wealth of platforming fun to enjoy these past few years. Though the Wii U received its first Mario title last year (as well as an excellent expansion this summer), it's this year's Super Mario 3D World that's gotten our attention. For the first time, multiplayer has been added to the 3D Mario formula, and the result is a wonderful success.
Super Mario 3D World has more in common with the likes of Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. U than it does with other 3D entries like Super Mario Galaxy. It's also got about as much plot as any game outside the RPG entries have had, which is to say there isn't much of a story at all. Bowser shows up, kidnaps some fairies, takes over the land and it's up to Mario and the gang to save the day. It's a story as old as the main character himself, but one we never tire of since each platforming iteration in the franchise has brought with it new challenges and inspired design to keep us captivated. With Super Mario 3D World, it never felt like we were trudging on through world after world. Instead, each new area had us eager to explore every nook and cranny, provided we lived long enough to brag about the experience.
Unlike previous 3D Mario games, Super Mario 3D World allows you to play with friends. There are four playable characters at the start: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad. Each character brings something slightly different to the table abilities-wise, and you can swap playable characters between stages should you find one particular skill set might be more advantageous than another. Mario's all-around prowess makes him the easy bet for newcomers. Luigi can jump higher, but isn't as easy to control as his brother. Princess Peach can float for a short duration, which makes her extremely valuable on hectic platforming segments. Toad's got the ability to run faster than anyone else, an ability you'll need to tap into few times when playing on your own. Actually, Toad's ability doesn't really come in much handy when playing with friends either, but at least there's a fourth playable character, right?
Nintendo's proclivity towards multiplayer in the Mario series these past few entries has paid off with Super Mario 3D World. Where New Super Mario Bros. U often put you at a disadvantage when playing with others (due to some strange suicidal/homicidal tendencies people observed when playing), the open expanses of the 3D levels gives you a bit more room to operate… and avoid those dastardly "accidental" death throws. That's not to say your cohabitants won't find interesting ways to put an abrupt end to your life in 3D World (they will). It's just that you won't be so on top of one another all the time. The occasional slow player will get stuck behind, but the safety bubble returns once more to provide sanction to those troubled with the mere task of keeping up with the Marios. The widest of camera angles, a result of players spread too far apart, can lead to some quick deaths, too, but for the most part, Super Mario 3D World is the most enjoyable multiplayer Mario since Mario Kart.
Of course, we'd be remiss in not mentioning the series' beloved power-ups, of which there are even more in Super Mario 3D World. The standard mushroom and fire flower are back, as are more recent additions like the propeller block. That condescending golden tanooki suit makes a comeback as well, and it's just as infuriating to see as it was the first time it showed up. So we died a few times in a row. That doesn't mean we need a game-breaking assist, Nintendo. Appearing for the first time is the new cat suit, acquired when grabbing the bell power-up, and the clone power, activated when you grab the pair of cherries.
The cat suit has gotten the most attention, and its adorableness is hard to argue. It also happens to be incredibly useful both when attacking and when exploring. The cat suit enables you to climb most surfaces in any given level, many of which lead to new areas otherwise inaccessible. It's almost hard to believe it took Nintendo this long to come up with cat suits, but we're glad they finally did. The cherries offer their own interesting spin on exploration and combat. When ingested, a double of your character immediately pops up on screen, equipped with whatever abilities you may have already had. Further cherry popping results in even more clones populating the screen. Having a fleet of Luigis armed with fire flowers is terrific for stages where enemies are coming at you non-stop. However, navigating can be a bit of an issue as every clone follows your commands, no matter where they are on screen. You might be on a new platform, but the clone might be stuck below next to the edge. Move too far, and whoops, there they go off the side of the level. Thankfully, losing a clone doesn't cost a life.
As nice as New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U looked, Super Mario 3D World takes things up a few notches. Colors don't just pop off the screen, they burst. 3D World's various worlds are all vibrant and full of life, and even when playing only on the GamePad, it looks outstanding. Characters look great, too, and the new animations brought on by powers like the cat suit are a treat to watch. The mad scramble to be the first to the flag when everyone is in cat suits makes it worth playing the game alone. What's more, no matter how much action there is on screen, 3D World just doesn't slow down. It stands as a wonderful testament to the power the Wii U possesses, and we already can't wait for more high definition Mario games.
It might not be the most original entry in the franchise, but Super Mario 3D World is up there as one of the most enjoyable. Whether playing the base game, or enjoying the hours of end game content, alone or with friends, Nintendo has shown once again nobody does platforming quite like it does. Never boring, always beautiful, Super Mario 3D World is just what the Wii U needed.

Review: Wintersleep @ Lee's Palace
Let's be honest with ourselves here, it's near impossible to hate Wintersleep.
If that statement doesn't ring true for you then you haven't seen them live.
The first time I saw them play was in a crowded room in bar downtown Hamilton- the sound wasn't the greatest but it didn't dampen my love for the band. This time around, however, effortlessly blew their last performance out of the water.
Paul Murphy has the voice of angels- dreamy, throaty angels. What the fuck does "throaty" mean? I don't know I think I just made it up but that's how his voice sounds. The new album (which they played a reasonable amount of) is absolutely spectacular. A lot of those songs I was hearing live for the first time and I loved what I heard. (Side note: Turns out Ho Hum may be my favourite album release this month.)
The thing about a live Wintersleep performance is that it's like a full-fledged jam. Powerful instrumental extensions take the show to a whole new level – "Laser Beams" was of particular note. The band isn't much for chatter (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) so there's more time for the music. They were even kind enough to give us an encore! I'm not going to sit here and tell you the set list, that's just pointless. What I will do is give you a few songs to crank wherever you find yourself with speakers. You're going to listen to them and you're going to crave more. The only place to get more is at a show.
So I suggest you get your shit together and check out Wintersleep live- – they're playing this Saturday at the Burlington Sound of Music Festival AND IT'S FREE. Check out the photos from the show here

When we get the ret pally or arms warrior, our warrior tank continually taunts/tanks them in order to keep burst damage off of clothies. You will lose aggro after a few seconds if you run away. Dispel dispel dispel.
This has gotten easier since patch, mainly they nerfed damage from roving plate wearers from hell.

This will be the 3rd marathon weekend I'll be attending. If you go by what they are saying about the values and moderates being sold out then yes it could be busy. But I really don't remember it being that crazy in the parks tho. Many people coming in will be there to run so you're looking at a good amount being out of the parks early on Friday and Saturday.
I haven't looked up what park for which day but my friend has and I think Thursday is good for AK, Friday is Studios, and after that I'm not sure. I think he looked on Touring Plans.
Make sure you cheer on the runners as they go through the park. We love to hear people yelling out to us. It gives us a little boost of energy!

You won't necessarily know if you have heart disease until it has progressed a fair amount. Nonetheless, you should be aware of your risk factors and try to control them. If you do have risk factors, there are many lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your chances of developing serious problems.
How Much Time This Assessment Will Take
5 minutes
How To Prepare
Before starting, you should gather the following information, if you have it:

I am looking for suggestions for a large indoor plant (floor to ceiling) for an area that will have no natural lighting. will a ficus lyrata work? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You'll need to clarify 'no natural light' for me. Do you mean that this plant will receive zero light from any window source? Thus, you'll be relying on artificial lighting? |

Speaking of indoor plants with light problems, my Ficus Lyrata have dropped a lot of it's browning leaves since I put it near our west window. I admit it doesn't get enough light that's why I have a 3 bulb floor lamp lighting the plant. Question is, is it really working? I have 3 regular CFL bulbs on it, 2 warm and 1 cool.

BSc can get you there!
If you are interested in a specialist degree which has an ATAR above the generalist Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree, you might consider selecting the BSc as an alternative study pathway.
What is the BSc?
The BSc degree offers you over 30 specialist options in the one degree, and it is also our most flexible degree, giving you the freedom to nominate your specialisation now or later, and have that specialisation printed on your testamur.
BSc graduates are recognised nationally and internationally as high calibre scientists with superior communication and leadership skills. BSc students graduate with skills which can be transferred and applied to a plethora of other disciplines and activities or to a diverse range of postgraduate research areas.
View more information about the BSc including the UAC course code.
How can the BSc help me?
Students who don't get the ATAR for the stream or specialist degree that was their first choice but who have selected the BSc as an alternative preference and do meet the ATAR for the BSc may be able to do one of the following:
- Enrol in the BSc and complete the first year by mirroring as much as possible the study pattern of the stream degree you would like to be in. Then apply to transfer into that stream degree at the end of the first year. (Entry will be competitive and based on a combination of ATAR and tertiary results).
- Study the same or similar subjects as part of the BSc. Eg. Students who don't get into the Bachelor of Psychology may major in Psychology in the BSc and then go on to do Honours in Psychology if they meet the requirements.
- Students who don't get into the BSc (Advanced) may be able to study advanced units as a part of the BSc. Students who complete the requirements for the BSc (Advanced) in the BSc would normally be awarded the BSc (Advanced) when they graduate.
- .... or many students find that once they start studying the BSc the choice and flexibility suits them and they stay in it, choosing to specialise in one or two of the 29 majors on offer!

Being the obsessed, addicted shopper that I am, I often come across random items that would make excellent gifties. Lately, I've found so many perfect gifts for old house people that I wish I had more neighbors (and money)!
I decided to compile this list instead of breaking the bank buying stuff just because it was so darn cool. Maybe this will help if you're stuck in a gift rut (like poor Darwin, who until recently received shirts for every gift, and me, who is hard to shop for because I buy everything for myself before anyone gets half a chance).
So … what do you get for the old house lover who has everything? (when power tools aren't in the budget)
Pink Hard Hat and Pink Safety Glasses
For the girl who's really into demo. Hard hat – $19.95, glasses – $9.95
The Smell Killer neutralizes odors in a 400-square-foot area … I haven't tried it, but it sounds perfect for getting ridding of that musty, damp smell I call "old house funk." $60.00
A pale pink and black carrying case with 10 pink-handled tools – hammer, screwdriver, pliers, even a little pink level! A portion of each sale donated to breast cancer research. $79.95
Saw Cake Server (my personal favorite)
Possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen – a stainless steel cake and cheese knife shaped like a saw. I MUST HAVE THIS. $20
For a lot of us, our blogs are our organizers, but sometimes it helps to use an old-fashioned pen and paper. I can just SEE things better that way. This organizer has tips for how to handle home maintenance issues, a calendar for each season, a tool glossary, graph paper for planning things out and a place for task lists and project worksheets. $25
Dress your old house lov-ah up in these adorable sterling silver cufflinks by artist Debbie Howe. The tools even have wood grain textured handles! $70
Practical and purty, a necklace with a little working level hanging on a silver-link chain, handmade by artist LeeAnn Herreid. Also available are level bracelets, earrings and cufflinks. $60
Philips Head Screw Cufflinks and Earrings
Made of sterling silver and designed by LeeAnn Herreid. Cufflinks – $80, earrings – $24
Created by artists training at the Savannah College of Art and Design, this set of four square melamine plates reminds me of Victorian and Craftsman tiles. And I just adore melamine. $40.
These leather tool belts come in purple, royal blue, red, black, candy pink, and dark pink. You can also get them personalized with an initial in rhinestones, though that might be a little too girly even for me. $49.95
Yeah, another tool belt. But this one's a little cuter (and cheaper), so I had to include it. $19.99
This is the robe I got for Darwin for his birthday, perfect for warding off the old house chill on the way to the shower … especially if you have gas heat, and you're trying to keep your bill from skyrocketing. It's a heavy, soft terry cloth and feels great on. I'm tempted to steal it from him. $39, plus $5 for monogramming to make him feel special.
Designed by women for women, these coveralls come in full and capri lengths and a good selection of sizes. My only complaint? They need to expand their fabric choices – allover giant flowers? Just no. $59.95
Sorry guys, I know these gift ideas are a little girl-centric. I like girl things! If you've found any really cool gifts out there in the wide Internet, please share in the comments!

The statewide opportunity is a giant thank-you from the longstanding bank to the public for 150 years of business and support. A total of $750,000 will be given out by the end date. Eligible nonprofits are those who have been supported by First Tennessee through a direct grant or matching grant made by an employee.
Recipients are determined through online voting at 150daysofgiving.com. Anyone with an Internet connection can vote from an electronic device like a computer, laptop, cell phone or tablet. The organization with the highest cumulative number of votes receives the day's $5,000 award.
Fifteen organizations from the Cleveland and Bradley County area were included in the list. Cleveland State Community College Foundation, Junior Achievement of the Ocoee Region and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland received the first three awards of the competition. There are still 12 organizations who could benefit from the local body's voting strength.
- United Way of Bradley County
- Boy Scouts of America (Cherokee Area Council)
- Lee University
- 100 Black Men of Bradley County Inc.
- Cleveland Family YMCA
- Cleveland Bradley Chamber Foundation
- Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation
- Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland
- Museum Center at Five Points
- Bradley Initiative for Church and Community
- Tri-Sate Exhibition Center
- Foundation for Cleveland Public Library
- Cleveland Rotary Foundation
Cleveland Bradley County Public Library director Andrew Hunt said the money could be used to reimburse the library for extra projects. He listed landscaping in the children's room, purchasing a larger 3D printer for community use and enclosing the teen with glass windows area to cut down on noise as possibilities.
He suggested supporters and patrons make a concerted effort to vote for the library on July 3. The surge in votes might be what it takes to win the next day's award money.
"It could be a wonderful opportunity for the library to get this grant," Hunt said. "It provides extra money, beyond our normal operating budget."
Allen Mincey, the president of communications at the United Way of Bradley County, shared similar sentiments.
He said the nonprofit does not have a specific plan for the possible award money as of yet. However, the money will most likely go toward a community partner.
"So, if we receive the $5,000 and say we devoted it to Impact Cleveland, that could make a big difference on any kind of program they have," Mincey said. "Or, it could help to start something new in the [Blythe] community."
He said the money might not seem a lot to an organization with a $2 million budget, but many local nonprofits could stretch the $5,000 award.
Added Mincey, "Wouldn't it be great if every organization that is affiliated with our community would receive $5,000?"
Votes can be cast at 150daysofgiving.com.
Personal information does not have to be disclosed. Ten votes can be cast from each electronic device. Each organization can only receive one vote per device.
A complete list of rules are available on the website.

I saw this floor (linoleum?) in a house that was built last year and unfortunately, no one knew what it was called or where to buy it. Does anyone know the name of it or the manufacturer? Thanks for the help! It is really awesome stuff, it is sort of brown with a silver pattern on top of it that becomes more visible at some angles. |

Does that stuff wear well ya think? I am probably going some sort of laminate in the kids bath and laundry area and this stuff looks gorgeous. Any pricing ideas? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 11:04
Laminate isn't suitable for a bath. LVT would be a MUCH better choice. But waterproof the subfloor (Redguard) when you use something other than sheet vinyl material or a "snap" system tile. It's not waterproof at the seams. |
Thanks. It is on our budget control list, items that can be priced back if necessary. We have tile in the budget now but if unexpected things come up and we need to re-shift I thought that could be a money saver. I will rethink that strategy though as I have 3 small boys and water will often splash on the floor I would imagine. :) |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 11:05
Oh ... that's pretty! |
It is LVT. Cheaper than tile, it is commercial and has much better wear properties than you may imagine, it is even chemical resistant. The places I saw it installed were laundry rooms, and I plan to use it in a bathroom and mudroom.

Oh wow I love that floor-did you ever install it? If so can you post pics? |
It has not been installed yet, we are waiting on the city for permits to start construction. The pictures I posted were taken by me with a cell phone in someone else's house. Quite frankly, I don't think they do it justice. I had one builder (we did not use them) that said that they do not do vinyl flooring and that it would not save much money. I told him that it was not about the money and that I wanted this someplace in my house. :) Our plan is to use it in the pantry, powder, and a broom closet. I have a sample of it and the top layer is about 1.5mm thick (very thick) and clear so that you won't wear into the pattern. It appears indestructible. I will post some pics when we finally get our house built. Thanks for your question. |

Arena football player fires up blunt and torches house on orders from higher power
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jun 15, 2012 with Comments 0
Kevin Ellison may want to lay off the weed for awhile. Ellison is a former USC Trojan who bounced around a couple NFL teams before landing with the Spokane Shock of the Arena Football League. Why do you care? Well, Ellison caused a small fire in his apartment building in Washington yesterday? Still waiting for the punchline? OK, it started because Ellison said g-d told him to use his joint to light the place on fire.
Hey, marijuana can do some funny things. But, Kevin, you need to tell those voices in your head to shut up – particularly when they tell you to light your sheets on fire using a joint. In all seriousness though, it seems like the young man might have some bigger issues to tackle. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. Here's to hoping Ellison can also get those pesky voices out of his head. This is your apartment. This is your apartment on weed.

The driver of an Amtrak bus is dead after apparently suffering a heart attack while driving on the Santa Maria River Bridge Friday morning, California Highway Patrol officials tell KSBY News.
It happened around 7:10 a.m. on the northbound side of the highway.
Officials say two passengers in the front row noticed the 42-year-old driver from Los Osos unconscious and slumped over the wheel after the bus hit the center median.
The two women were able to take control of the bus and pull it to the side of the road safely.
Another Amtrak driver was brought in to take over the bus, which only had minor damage, and resume the trip.
Nine passengers were on board. One of them was in pain when officers arrived.
The bus was on its way to Hanford.
Stay with KSBY.com and watch KSBY News tonight at 5 and 6 for more on this developing story.

Area triplets are given a name today - after their miracle birth.
Cow Number 54 gave birth to triplets May 5, 2007. The triplets were without names, and we asked the WBKO audience to send us suggestions of what the three heifers should be called.
After receiving more than 100 names over the weekend the final decision has been made. Since the birth of triplet calves is very rare, it only seemed appropriate that these miracle triplets be named Faith, Hope and Charity.
Farmer Ed Huntsman said the chance of a cow giving birth to triplets is about one-in-more than 100,000.

PCH Winner in Columbus TV Viewing Area
Yes Virginia, There is a Prize Patrol!
With her hair in rollers, Virginia Williams of Columbus, Indiana began screaming with delight when she first saw the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol holding the Big Check for $10,000.00. As she was pointing to her hair, she pleaded, "Oh my land! Let me put my hair down!"
Caught completely off guard by our surprise visit, Virginia was not quite camera-ready for our videos and photos. "I thought you wouldn't be here until tomorrow! That's what it said." She was referring to the date in our mailings, which said the Prize Patrol would be in the TV viewing area around November 11th. Today was the 10th. Nevertheless, Virginia didn't really expect us to show up at all, so she was thrilled with our "untimely" visit!
Sadly, she and her husband had lost their daughter to cancer earlier this year. They are planning to use their winnings to help one of her sons – their grandson Evan – get started at Purdue University.
Virginia told us she enters the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes at every opportunity! Her diligence has paid off – with a big check!

Ana Sayfa MemoTV Haber arşivi İletişim |
We spoke with Mehmet Okur of the Utah Jazz, a team that started their preseason workouts with "at least a Western Conference Final" goal and who were eliminated 4-1 by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the play-off's, upon his return to Turkey with his wife Yeliz and daughter Melisa. Question: Utah Jazz and Mehmet Okur. How would you comment on their season? Memo: If we had to make a qucik observation, everything that could possibly go wrong did. It was that kind of a season. Injuries were the most prominent of the adversities. In one season we had 22 different starting line ups. That is hard to believe. I mean that is realy a high number. When you consider that we are a team that has system and we usually get that system down the best we can in order to succeed you can see easily how it had a negative effect on our season. However we never gave up, we made the play-off's and if we had not had a couple of unacceptable losses to Minnesota and Golden State at home towards the end of the season, we could have finished much higher and avoided Los Angeles. Deron, Carlos, Andrei and I missed a toatl of 84 games. Nobody on the team played in all 82 games. We had a chance to finish as high as second in the West as late as two weeks left in the season. I got hurt in the Clippers game. Missed the last game of the regular season, and then missed the first three games against the Lakers. I tried to play in the last two play-off games, but I had no lift, no mobility, no lateral movement and we were done. So yes it was a tough and unlucky season. Question: It was also a tough season for Coach Sloan wasn't it? Memo: I think there were black clouds over all of us this season. The illness and the eventual passing away of Larry Miller had an effect on all of us. However Mr Miller was a friend, a coworker, a boss of coach Sloan for over 20 years. He wasn't just a team owner. He was like a teammate, a big brother, someone who watched over us, someone who was with the team all the time. Then the coach lost his brother whom he was very close to. Then his former teammate Norm Van Lier, and his former friend and coach Johhny Kerr both in one day. He had some health issues himself. He had an operation right after the season. So it was a very tough and hard to bear season for coach Sloan. Question: What kind of a season was it for you? Memo: I had a similar season to my All-Star season actually, at least comparable. If the season did not end with me hobbling and fighting a hamstring it would probably have been better. I had some tough times as well. Question: We were talking about your father Abdullah and his major health issues. Memo: My father's illness is not something new. It has been almost three years. His condition deteriorated rapidly this last year. If my dad thought his condition was affecting me, he would really be sad. It is not easy being half way around the world, while your father is fighting for his life, but I try minimize its effect. This year we came to Turkey as soon as the season ended. As you know I also made a visit during the season, when the doctors felt that I might not get another chance. Kevin O'Connor and Jerry Sloan urged me to go. I will never forget their support and understanding during a very tough time for me anf my family. Question: Is that one of the reasons you continue to say that you want to finish your career in Utah? Memo: My family and I love Salt Lake City. As they say it is a perfect place to raise a family. From our neighbors, to the people of Salt Lake City, to my teammates, to the staff to the Miller family we alwasy saw love and felt warmness. Salt Lake City is our second home. However NBA is a business. I know this and my family has learned this. In the end some of the decisions made will be business decisions first. As Mehmet Okur I am ready to make some sacrifices to stay here. I will not be changing teams if there is a difference of $ 3-5 million in the total worth of the new contract. I belive my managers and I have let our feelings be known by the Jazz management. Whatever is in the best interest of the Jazz and my family and I let that happen. Question: You have some strong relationships with the staff as well especially Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson. Are they part of the reason for the will to sacrifice? Memo: I always say that coach Sloan and coach Johnson also have had a great influence in my carrer and also in me becoming the player that I am. I became an All-Star in Utah. I became the player I am as a Jazzman. I know I am one of the best 8-10 centers in the league. I have the staff to thank for that. All of the coaches here are great, straigh forward people who don't know how to play games. They say it to your face, and they say it directly. I like that. They are tough but they have understaing as well. Question: It has been said that the Jazz can't win a championship with this roster. The team needs an athletic defensive force in the lane. The team needs consistent outside shooting. The team needs to get more athletic overall. The team needs better man to man defenders on the perimeter? Memo: These are not decisions that I will make. Every team has room for improvement. Positions where they could be better. These are decisions the be made by the management and the staff. I know that when we are healthy and playing well we can beat any team in the league anywhere. I believe this and that won't change. We had a very tough season filled many unfortunate events and it affected everything about how we play. Questions: Now you are back in Turkey and everybody in the country is wondering if you will play for the Turkish National team? What can you tell us about this. Memo: Its too early for me to talk. I have not met with anybody yet. We are in Turkey but I have been spending a great amount of time with my father. I have been hurt by some of the things that has transpired the last few years though. I am not being used in a way that I can be a plus on the team and contribute the way I am capable of, and yet whenever something goes wrong I am the scapegoat that is put in front of the media. Everybody is expecitng the Memo they stay up and watch late at night on NBA TV, however I am not utilized that way here. Its a tough situation to be in. I am not your classic back to the basket low post presence in the lane. If that is what you want, there are players on the team that can provide that . Question: It is said that you have some issues with coach Tanjevic. If the coach of the Turkish National team was not Tanjevic would things be different for you? Memo: There are no issues and or personel problems with coach Tanjevic and myself. He as a coach does not have to like my game or utilize my strong points just because I play in the NBA. I am only bothered by the "Memo does not want to play on the National team" attitude that surfaces every summer. I tried twice under Tanjevic and both times I gave my all. When I am not able to play the way the Turkish people expect from me I just get down and depressed. The federation has never stuck up for me. There has always been the fear that if we stick up for Memo and Hedo the other players will be bothered. So it was also when with so many things wrong in the structure of the team and the way it was put together to throw us to the lions. Last summers national team was one of the best rosters put together. They had a bunch of young guys that were focused and on the same page put together around Hedo' leadership. Hedo brought them together, he led and they were succesfull. Questions: A few weeks ago Tanjevic was interviewed and he pointed the finger at you for wanting special previliges. Have you had a chance to talk with him since? Memo: No I haven't. He called my manager and told him that he did not say any of those things. So my manager said that then the federation should release a rebuttal saying so. They did not. They said that it was not necessary. Now Tanjevic can say anything he wants to my manager, but if it is not rebutted in the news papers where the original interview was printed, what good does that do me? People still get the same idea. Honestly I don't believe that coach Tanjevic would or could say those things. He might now likemy game, he might not want me on the team but this no. He is just not that type of person. However people who read the paper are still saying well he said this, and he said that and without a rebuttal they continue to believe what was printed is what he said. However I have developed some tough skin thanks to the national team. The former manager of the national team, even some of my closest friends on the team have always thrown me under the bus here. The fedeartion did not do anything then, so it does not surprise me that they did not do anything now. Question: Does this mean you will not put on the Turkish National Team uniform again? Memo: At the moment my hamstring is still not healed. The situation with my father continues. I can not spent any quality time with my family during the busy season. So for me to go in a two month camp with the national team, knowing I will not be used in a way I can be productive and in those surrounding only to be heartbroken again. Well I don't want to go through that. There is not going to be a change in the way coach Tanjevic evaluates as a player, and how he looks upon my game, and in his system. There will not be a change in the way federation thinks of me. Now it does not mean I will not wear the uniform, however I want to play in a situation where I can be succesfull and make a positive contribution. Question: How do yoyu think the National Team will do in this summers European Championship? Memo: If we can catch the atmosphere that we had last season then there is no reason not to have success. The key is to have everybody on the same page and focused. |

This is a must have! The Loooong Card is the perfect Comedy Card Magic! Have the spectator select a card, and the magician states that he has a matching card in his pocket. As he begins to remove the card, it appears to be the three of hearts. The spectator says that the chosen card was not the three it was the eight of hearts. The magician continues to remove the card, which is longer than a normal card. When the card is removed from the pocket, the spectator can see that it is the eight of hearts.

I just mixed today my first bucket of 5-1-1, I have plants that needs to be repotted ASAP. Can I transfer the plants right away to the new soil mix? If not how soon can I put my tomatoes/cucumber/zuchini in this new soil? |

Howdy! Yes, you can mix and pot the same day! The Dolomitic Lime will continue its reaction over the next couple weeks, but you shouldn't notice any detriment. Josh |
A note of caution... be prepared to change your watering habits. The gritty mixes will require a little more effort, but once you get used to the new needs of your plantings, the results will be worth any extra effort. In other words, these mixes drain a lot faster and don't hold the amount of moisture regular potting soil does, which is a good thing... but you'll want to keep a close eye on things until you adjust. It took me a little bit to adjust to new watering and feeding "schedules". Happy Growing! |
A good reminder from Jodi, and if these plants are on bottom heat the need for more frequent water is even more dramatic. Al |

Great guys! Thank you for let me know right away because I really need to transfer these plants really quick. I will do that today then. I did use the lime in the mix, will that be a problem using any fertilizer? or since I added the lime I need a specific fertilizer? For now I am using the bonnie fertilizer that I bought with the tomatoes and some fish emulsion. |

The 5-1-1 holds a fair amount of moisture, and even supports a bit of perched water, so there's a little more leeway than with the Gritty Mix, proper...but, yes, keep an eye on the moisture levels, particularly with those thirsty vegetables. Tropicalia, I personally mix a bit of Osmocote into the soils from the start. Al recommends a fertilizer in a 3:1:2 ratio, which could be Foliage Pro or Miracle Grow, etc. What is the ratio of the Bonnie fertilizer? Josh |
I agree with Josh... it's my understanding that organics don't work well within the confines of containers, due to availability issues. I'd stick with a liquid all purpose plant food, and leave the fish emulsion for the garden beds outside, where the microscopic army of critters can break it down into usable food. I'd prefer to use Foliage Pro, which gets consistent high marks from Al and everyone who uses it... but I'm stuck finishing my bottle of Miracle Gro first, to which I add micro nutrients. Yes... I would imagine the addition of bottom heat would cause the gritty mixes to require even closer watching for needed moisture, heat being so drying. I hadn't thought of that, Calistoga Al, thanks for reminding me! I was going to employ my heat mats shortly to grow some items... good that you mention it! :-) |

I am planning to get that(foliage pro), I have in order but I wanted to finish the stuff I have. The Bonnie fertilizer I have is not the ratio Al told us to use. It is a little high in Nitrogen the values are 8-4-4(bottle says Herb and Vegetables) but until now the plants are fine with this combination, some tomatoes and cucumber are already fruiting! Squash zuchini lots of flowers (male only). It is that green bottle that is close to the bonnie vegetable plants @ home depot/wallmart etc... I wonder if with them fruiting should I continue with this same fertilizer since they seem to be happy and healthy. Wondering if I keep this bottle unitl I finish, it will hurt the veggies? |

RW your commentary is timely, fair and long overdue. I believe that regional fire departments and mandatory training, up to date equipment and in most of the province professional or professionally qualified firemen/women are necessary. In our more remote smaller communities where regionalisation is impossible, perhaps there should be p[tovincial emergency services provided which would be similar to our forest fire protection system, crews and equipment would respond from centralised depot and totally funded by the province. Pie in the sky? maybe but something has to be done.

There are many contributing factors to governmental ineptitude. The biggest is governmental immunities from lawsuit or other responsibility for any activity no matter how negligent or malevolent the activity. Subject them to the same scrutiny and liability that is applicable to private enterprises and there may be some hope for meaningful improvement.

It all gets back to the feudal politics we have been blessed with over our entire history but now it is entrenched with the secrecy of Bill 29. Government largesse is alive and well....and we continue to elect people who are practitioners of art of dipping freely into the political pork barrel. On this issue, I lump all of our current political parties in the same category. Is this why so many people have become disengaged and a government can gain a huge majority while commanding only 35% of the total eligible vote. The need for electoral reform has never been greater. Nor has the need for transparency and openness.
