"Mmmmmmmm..... Made this twice now and both times it was great. I did note that the kind of wine you use makes a big difference. Use a dry red with lots of strong flavor. Also 10 min of simmering the sauce did not reduce it by half. So forget the 10 minutes and simmer till it is truly 1/2 gone and it has thickened.""

Both of these plants arrived today and I'm really excited. They were both orginally in 1 Gallon containers and now that they are here, I need to put them into a container and I'm not sure what size container to start them out in ..
They were shipped with dirt around their roots and they are each just about a foot tall... Any suggestions as to what kind of container to start them out in and what type of soil to put in the containers? I have Miracle Grow Potting soil already, but I'm not sure if something else needs to be there. I'll be checking the web but thought I would post here for someone who may have experience. Thanks Kendra |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have both. To me, they are tough as weeds. Normal potting soil, a pinch of fertilizer, water and proper sunlight will keep them happy. Osmanthus would develop massive root in pot in a few years.The best place to plant it is in the ground. I do not care too much about the fragrance of M. figo. I gave it away last year. |
- Posted by AnyaPerfumer 10b (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 05 at 10:50
Do you know if osmanthus will grow in South Florida? I seem to remember that it needs a colder climate/less humidty. |
AnyaPerfurmer: I will try my best to find out the information about suitable location for planting Os Fragrans. It may grow in south Florida. You might have to try it. Because Osmanthus is the Regional Flower for the region of Tainan, south of Taiwan. The area is very warm, no frost and very wet and humid. |
Kendra, plant them in pots slightly bigger than the rootball. Give them a couple of inches of soil to grow into but no more than that. Any good potting soil with good drainage will do. Anya, yes, it will do fine in South Florida. I grow it here in the same Zone that you are in. Both are hardy in colder zones, but they don't need a cooler climate to thrive. |

Taliban surrounded in Afghanistan's Kandahar and Helmand provinces
The fighting in Afghanistan's south has intensified over the past several months as the Taliban is attempting to gain control of districts prior to the onset of winter. Two of the main flashpoints in the south have been Kandahar and Helmand provinces, where the Taliban can draw on a measure of support from the Pashtun tribes and criminal gangs. The Taliban movement was born in Kandahar province, while Helmand has become the capital of the Taliban's illegal poppy trade.
In Kandahar, a combined force of US, Canadian and Afghan troops have surrounded a formation of Taliban in the Arghandab district estimated at about 200 plus fighters. Fifty Taliban fighters have been killed during the past three days of fighting, while one Afghan soldier and three police were killed.
The Taliban have made a push to attack the Kandahar's provincial capital after the death of Mullah Naqib. Naqib was the powerful and influential tribal leader of the Arghandab district who fought the Soviets during the 1980s. The district is "a key buffer zone between the urban areas under government control and the increasingly hostile districts to the north" of Kandahar City, the Globe and Mail reported at the time of Naqib's death on October 13.
"His passing leaves a dangerous gap in Kandahar city's defences," the Globe and Mail noted. "Mullah Naqib protected Kandahar," said Abdul Rahim Jan, a tribal elder from Panjwai, another Taliban hotspot. "This is a big loss. It's like a thousand people died."
The Taliban have been probing the Afghan and NATO defenses in Kandahar. On October 17, the Taliban "attacked a Coalition reconnaissance patrol using heavy machine guns, rocket propelled grenades and small arms fire," lightly wounding nine soldiers. On October 27, Afghan and NATO forces battled the Taliban in the Shah Wali Kowt district.
Afghan and NATO forces have conducted several raids against the Taliban in Kandahar since the death of Naqib. The most high profile event resulted in the capture of three Pakistani Taliban "trainers" who were heading to Kandahar from Uruzgan. The Pakistanis, who hailed from Peshawar, "have been attempting to recruit new members to become suicide bombers." On October 30, six Taliban were captured during an operation in Kandahar City, while another five were captured on October 23.
Helmand province has been the scene of the largest battles in southern Afghanistan since the Taliban declared the start of its yearly "Spring Offensive." The Taliban have launched assault after assault on Afghan and NATO forces operating in the Musa Qala, Kajaki, Nawzad and Sangin districts. Each attack has been beaten back, with the Taliban incurring casualties from the dozens to the hundreds.
The largest battle occurred on September 26, when Afghan Army soldiers, backed by advisors, killed 104 Taliban during a battle near Musa Qala Wadi. On October 19, twelve more Taliban were killed near Musa Qala. Another 36 Taliban were killed on October 20 near Musa Qala, and the last major battle occurred on October 27, when over 80 Taliban fighters were killed.
The Taliban appear to have fallen back on its safe haven in Musa Qala, while the Afghan government and NATO are working to turn a major player in the Taliban leadership. A report from the Telegraph indicates Afghan and NATO forces may have found a pro-Taliban commander and tribal leader who is willing to turn on the Taliban in Musa Qala.
Diplomats confirmed yesterday that Mullah Salaam was expected to change sides within days. He is a former Taliban corps commander and governor of Herat province under the government that fell in 2001.Military sources said British forces in the province are "observing with interest" the potential deal in north Helmand, which echoes the efforts of US commanders in Iraq's western province to split Sunni tribal leaders from their al-Qaeda allies.
The Afghan deal would see members of the Alizai tribe around the Taliban-held town of Musa Qala quit the insurgency and pledge support to the Afghan government. It would be the first time that the Kabul government and its Western allies have been able exploit tribal divisions that exist within the Taliban in southern Afghanistan.
Regions in Helmand province have been Taliban safe havens since the the British cut a deal with the Taliban, under the guise of dealing with the local tribes one year ago. The deal essentially signed over Musa Qala to the Taliban, much like the Pakistani government signed over multiple agencies in its tribal regions to the Taliban. U.S. commanders were furious over the agreement, and it is rumored the French threat to pull its special operations forces out of the south was due to British actions in Musa Qala.
Just after the agreement was inked, the Taliban ran up its black flag over the Musa Qala district center, and fighting between the Taliban and Afghan and NATO forces has been intense. Over 250 Taliban have been killed during five intense ambushes on Afghan and NATO patrols, with few Afghan or NATO casualties. The Taliban lost 80 fighters in the latest attack. Three senior Taliban leaders -- Mullah Dadullah, Mullah Berader, and Qari Faiz Mohammad -- have been killed in strikes in Helmand province over the past several months.
From Pakistan
The fighting in southern and eastern Afghanistan spiked this year after the Pakistani government cut a series of peace deals with the Taliban and al Qaeda in the tribal agencies and settled districts of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province. The Taliban also maintains significant bases and command and control facilities in Pakistan's Baluchistan province.
NATO and Afghan forces are stretched thin in Afghanistan, while the Taliban maintains its safe havens across the border in Pakistan. NATO and Afghan forces will continue to fight a holding action in Afghanistan until the Taliban and al Qaeda are uprooted from their bases along the borders in Pakistan.
READER COMMENTS: "Taliban surrounded in Afghanistan's Kandahar and Helmand provinces"
Posted by MattR at October 31, 2007 1:40 PM ET:
I need help understanding this. The Brits sign Musa Qala over to the Taliban, then kick the snot out of them until they decide the Taliban is not what they want? If it works I'm all for it, but how does it work? Is this an example of you have to wait until people suffer under the insurgents long enough before they'll join the good guys? Or are NATO forces just taking advantage of a mistake the Brits made?
Posted by Neo at October 31, 2007 2:46 PM ET:
I think the Brits made a few assumptions that weren't true. Musa Qala is remote, the fight there was assumed to be local, and if not bothered they would pretty much keep to themselves.
Wrong! wrong! wrong!
Musa Qala might be a fairly remote offshoot of the upper Helmond valley. The problem is if you keep going north in the Helmond valley past the reservoir at the north end and through the mountian passes you end up just west of Kabul. This is a well used backdoor route between the south of Afghanistan and the Kabul area.
Of course that just what the Taliban did, was press it's attack northward toward the reservoir. Imagine that!
Posted by Neo at October 31, 2007 3:06 PM ET:
Sorry guys, going passed the mountain passes at the northern end of the Helmond valley will take you into the Oruzgan valley and does not lead into the Kabul area but the central highlands and eventually into Hazara territory further north. I should have checked a topographical map before saying that. You won't get anywhere near Kabul that way not unless you're a mountain goat.
Posted by Alex at October 31, 2007 6:16 PM ET:
This is good news. From Michael Yon's reports, things haven't been going so well.
Any thoughts on how to proceed from here? Yes, destroy the enemy...I mean more specifically as to how.
Posted by Winger at October 31, 2007 7:54 PM ET:
I keep trying to think of what the Taliban & Al Qaeda leadership strategy is. It would seem they are not concerned about losses because those killed are Martyrs and thats a good thing. If they can stretch the fight out over the long term, they probably expect the West to lose the political will and just give up. That is probably their main strategy.
Hiding behind the locals give them good cover and they have the propoganda wing set up to fully exploit any attacks on them. If civilians get killed, they go into full bore Crusade propaganda. Those people don't get to hear about the real reason for the civilian deaths which is human shield activity by the Taliban.
Sometimes the civilians probably figure it out but since their Mainstream media tells them different, it is hard for them to accept and come to grips with. Kinda like here in the US except we now have the internet and sites like Bill Roggios to get the real story out.
The locals eventally get tired of the constant death and destruction though and begin to complain. That is when the Taliban begin to kill and terrorize them.
So you begin with Islamic brainwashing, send waves of men to their Martyr deaths, hide behind the locals by providing social order and services for locals (ie Hezbollah), propagandize with Crusader terms, terrorize and intimidate all those who don't go along with you, and try to create as much death and chaos for your enemy to break their will (knowing Islam teaches your side death is good and that Western society does not like it). Then they claim they are doing this all in the name of Islam and only to impose Shariah law (how innocent).
The peace deals and cease fires are only used to limit their death toll so they can outlast the West. They use it to regroup, recruit and train new soldiers. If they did not have cease fires, they would have many more soldiers killed than they can recruit. In other words, their ranks would be decimated at a faster rate than they can absorb.
If we recognize their strategy, why do we continue to facilitate it. We should put the full court press on before the winter to deny them areas. Also, since the winter limits movement in those mountainous areas, they figure they are safe. They can't get out but we can't get in.
Wrongo, Mr Taliban, we have air assets and you do not. You should be immobile but we should have the ability to continue to target you and continue with the COIN technique of attrition throughout the winter.
Walking the line between killing as many as possible without aiding their recruiting efforts. We should rachet up the pressure now to limit the effectiveness of their strategy. The Taliban hold territory in Afghanistan? Give me a break.
Posted by Jim at November 1, 2007 3:38 AM ET:
So what has been going on in this fight over the last 24 hours? The stories online are basically unchanged from what I heard on the TV news Wednesday morning.
Posted by ajacksonian at November 1, 2007 5:33 PM ET:
For fighting in Afghanistan the thing we really need is every single Alpine and Mountain Warfare unit in NATO. The Canadians cycled their mountain warfare troops in over last winter and staged a low-visibility winter campaign that yielded much this year in stopping the Taliban from getting organized and even scoping out training camps. In this sort of terrain small units able to go with limited supplies are the most valuable thing to have... it is very telling which troops get mentioned in the reports from Afghanistan and which do not.
Mountain warfare is generally LIC oriented but over a sustained period. That is what these types of troops train and equip for and their abilities are startling beyond their numbers. That 200 Taliban is a viable fighting force due to terrain and climate and it is being countered with something a bit larger but also adapted to the terrain and climate. Where are the Gebirgsjäger, Alpini, Chasseurs Alpins? This is not a huge logistical problem due to the numbers of troops involved, but their effectiveness in operating in such climates and terrain is priceless... and get them some combat experience although the trianing itself has often proven to be dangerous...
Posted by Winger at November 1, 2007 7:01 PM ET:
The enemy relies on their mountain warfare skills to hide and launch attacks. We need to counter with more and better of the same to be more successful. Time is of the essence here. We can not allow the enemy to extend the war. That is when Western support will fade and their strategy will win out.
We also need to be careful that we don't give them any soldiers as hostages. They know how to exploit that for huge gain.
Posted by Rhyno327/lrsd at November 6, 2007 10:38 AM ET:
Where the Brits tricked? You DO NOT negotiate with these people, that gives them time to regroup and refit. As far as the Alpine units mentioned, thier gov.'s have not allowed them to join the fight. I know there was 200 French SF operating, but were pulled a while ago. Don't hold ur breath for the Germans, Italians or Spanish to leave the comfort of thier safe northern barracks anytime soon. If at all. NATO is a disgrace. Those 4 members have almost 10k troops in country-but are not allowed to fight. As for winter, mountainous ops, the Marine Corps and Army have units that specialize in that area. Small, 6-8 man teams can provide intel by surveilling enemy positions that can be eliminated by air-strikes. No need to laze thier positions. Just punch in the GPS co-ordinates-and BOOM!

Like most cities, of course, New Orleans has some decent pizza places (my favorite is Mama Rosa's on Rampart Street), but few people who live outside Louisiana know about them--or care. Which is why it seemed an odd choice that Laura and Michael Brody went with a New Orleans theme when they opened Bourbon Street Original Pizza Bar a few months ago. Laura's explanation: "Because we don't serve Italian food, we wanted to come up with a theme, any theme, that distanced us as much from Italian food as possible. Michael was brainstorming one day and all of a sudden asked me, `What do you think of when you think of Bourbon Street?' I said, `New Orleans, good food, good times. Mainly fun.' And at that moment it was a done deal."
Although the New Orleans influence is apparent in the decor, the Brodys stopped short of evoking the real Bourbon Street: This place is too clean and trendy to be located in the heart of the French Quarter. And given their no-smoking policy, no hazy, bluesy cloud hangs over the dining room (you won't hear me complain). But as for good food and good times, well, they've got something there. Not only are the pizzas noteworthy, but live jazz on the weekends adds just the right spice.
When the bands aren't around, zydeco bounces from the speakers. You can run with it by trying the Cajun Alligator pizza ($7.50 for an individual-size pie), made not with alligator meat but a potent, spicy turkey sausage. Fighting fire with fire, the meat sits on a pool of hot sauce; it's buried beneath a comfortable layer of mozzarella (your choice of regular or part-skim), and a sprinkling of roasted garlic cloves, red and green bell peppers and sliced onions. The key ingredient, though, is the ranch dressing drizzled across the top: cooling, but with flavor that adds rather than detracts from the overall effect. (We'd been so unnecessarily fearful that we'd ordered the ranch on the side.) True heat-misers can make matters even more dangerous by ordering the pie on Cajun jalapeno dough. As thick and chewy as Bourbon Street's regular shell, the Cajun is flecked with green-chile flakes and rife with cayenne.
The Bourbonschnitzel ($7.50) offers an even more unusual combo. What made anyone think that a pizza covered with bratwurst, smoked Gouda, mozzarella, sauerkraut, mustard and onions would be tasty, I don't know, but I'll be damned if the result isn't great. Gouda, an Amsterdam cheese that sounds a bit far afield for a German-inspired dish, has a tendency to be too smoky and overwhelming, but here adds only a welcome hint of flavor. The bratwurst is a high-quality, spicy pork sausage that's cooked until the edges are slightly crunchy and the inside still juicy and a tad greasy; it's offset by just enough of the well-drained sauerkraut. And the mustard, Dijon-style but champagne-based, is the icing on the pie.
Bourbon Street's tomato sauce is on the sweet side and heavy on the basil, which nicely complements the kitchen's more piquant ingredients, particularly the garlic on Dracula's Nightmare ($7.50). The Count himself would be kept at bay by this one: Garlic, garlic and more garlic is roasted and placed alongside either thick-sliced, highly seasoned pepperoni or the aforementioned turkey sausage. Dracula's mozzarella is paired with a Muenster so mild we couldn't tell it was there, but the other components meshed so well that we didn't miss it. The ingredients in Cheese to the Fourth Power ($6.95) make a less successful match: Here the smoked Gouda waves a big flag while the other three cheeses--mozzarella, cheddar and Asiago--melt into the background. Still, at least the pie has the proper ratio of cheese to sauce, and by baking it in a regular pizza oven (the Brodys say they resisted the temptation of a wood-burning model because of environmental concerns), the kitchen kept the Asiago from overcooking.
The only pizza that failed to please was the Manhattan Mardi Gras ($5.95), which set itself up by proclaiming to be "an honest-to-goodness New York-style gooey cheeze pizza," the sort that requires each slice to be folded in order to keep the sauce and mozzarella from "running down your chin." But the only resemblance our pie had to New York pizza was that it involved cheese, tomato sauce and dough--and at that, Bourbon Street's crust stands about three times as thick as that of the traditional New York model. Ironically, Bourbon Street's "Manhattan" model has way too little sauce, even for a non-New York pizza; the cheese is fine but not in the least bit gooey; and it's covered with a layer of oregano that rivals our worst snowfall this winter (fortunately, I was with close friends who let me know every five seconds that I had the herb stuck in my teeth). Then again, I've never felt full after eating New York 'za--definitely not a problem here.
In fact, the individual-size pizzas were all we needed at lunch. We were hungrier at dinner, though, and decided to add to our meal by trying a few sides. The house specialty soup is carrot ($1.50/cup, $2.50/bowl); Laura, who makes all of the desserts and created the pizza combinations, laughed when I later asked about her carrot soup recipe. "It's hard to get people to try it," she said. "It hasn't been selling well. I think everyone's had some carrots-from-hell experience in their childhood, and they don't want to relive it. So one day we decided to call it `smooth and spicy Southwest vegetable soup,' and we sold out of it in the middle of dinner. So from now on, that's what it's called."

text: GREATER SPRINGFIELD Dr. Edward M. Hallowell, child and adult psychiatrist and best-selling author of 15 books, will be at the Williston Northampton School in Easthampton on Feb. 23. He will give a presentation titled "Looking for the Hidden Gifts in Our Children and Giving Them the Tools They Need to Succeed!" This public event is intended for parents, educators and interested adults. The discussion will cover a broad range of issues, including reframing ADD/ADHD as a gift that is sometimes difficult to unwrap; helping pre-teens and teens handle the daily pressures in their lives; the anxiety-provoking process of applying to college; and the tools necessary to lead a happy life. The presentation will take place on Feb. 23 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Phillips Stevens Chapel on Park Street. It will be followed by a book signing. General admission tickets are $10 if purchased by Feb. 22 and $12 at the door (free for Williston parents and employees). The event is sponsored by Williston's Community Life Program. On Feb. 24, at 10:30 a.m. Hallowell will address Williston students at an all-school assembly. The topic will be "Forgiveness What It Is, Why It's Important and How to Do It." A graduate of Harvard College and Tulane School of Medicine, Hallowell is a child and adult psychiatrist and the founder of the Hallowell Center for Cognitive and Emotional Health in Sudbury. Considered one of the foremost experts on ADD, he is the co-author, with Dr. John Ratey, of "Driven to Distraction." Hallowell has long argued that ADD is too often misunderstood, mistreated and mislabeled as a "disability." In addition to his renown in the world of ADD, Hallowell is an expert in parenting, managing anxiety and understanding the importance of connection and forgiveness. Contact Director of Community Life Programs Susanna White for more information at 529-3088 or firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Hey guys! So had my first game of Descent tonight and it went well! I do have some questions the need clarification though…
1. When characters proceed to encounter of an adventure, do they completely reset as far as health and fatigue or just get their feats back?
2. Getting stunned, does that eat your ENTIRE turn to get rid of or just one of your actions? If it does eat your turn, can the overlord play cards still to continue his turn? Example, monster drops stun and then plays dash to get a move action, yay or nay?
Thanks in advance!!

More People Don't Bicycle Because of ... Bicyclists?
While we were visiting Portland in June I noticed a few people riding bikes, slowly—almost purposefully slowly—in everyday clothes. It reminded me of a European city more than an American city. It seemed pretty cool.
I didn't know it was a movement.
Yesterday on his blog, Andrew Sullivan quoted both Celeste LeCompte (Special to the San Francisco Chronicle) and Felix Salmon (a Reuters blogger) praising the slow bike movement. Both believe it encourages other people to ride. Both insinuate that the reason there are not more bike-riders is the bike-riders we already have.
For some San Franciscans, seeing slow-riding folks like Logan and Stockmann out on the road can be a refreshing encouragement to hop on two wheels for a daily commute or a quick trip to the farmers' market. ... Being a Slow Bike Rider may mean being left behind by the pack of spandex-wearing cyclists in the mornings, but it also means getting to know more about the rest of your community.
If you live in a city where women in wedge heels are steering their old steel bikes around their daily errand route, there's really nothing intimidating or scary about the prospect of getting on a bike yourself. If it's all hipsters on fixies, by contrast, that just makes biking feel all the more alien and stupid.
I'm sure this is part of it. No one wants to join a group in which they'll feel unwelcome or unhip.
At the same time, I've had quite a few people ask me, often shyly, about biking to work, and what it's like, and how long it takes, etc. etc., but whenever I suggest they do it themselves and they beg off, the main reason they give is their perception of how dangerous it is. They're not fearful of "spandex-wearing cyclists" or "hipsters on fixies"; they're fearful of cars. They don't want to be exposed in traffic. They don't want to die.
To ignore this in any discussion about cycling is to ignore the SUV in the room.

Death and skin color
0Jan 3, '08 by EponaHi. I was curious. When a person passes away, what causes the color around their eyes to turn a yellow rust color?? I know the skin turns pale and so forth and blood pools at the bottom, but does anyone know what causes this yellowish color around the eyes?? I am a nursing student and have tried going on-line and cannot find this explanation anywhere.
Thank you!! -
0Jan 3, '08 by HappyParamedicRNumm, as a medic I saw lots of dead bodies, all of varying ages from new to a couple days old. I have never seen yellowing around the eyes, maybe the person had a bruise from either a direct blow or a basilar skull fx, as bruises do become more apparent after death. If the person was face down that may also be livitity, depending on how long they were face down. Livitiy becomes permanent after several hours and is known as tatooing, but if that were the case the whole face would match on would assume..
So I have some educated guesses, but unfortunatly no firm answer for you, hope it helped though
Sweetooth -
0Jan 3, '08 by joprasklpnwas the person jaundiced from any liver disease? Maybe it became more pronounced after death. This is just a thought, I really never personally saw a yellow eyed dead person.
0Jan 3, '08 by birdgardnerCan I take this thread on a slight tangent, that of color changes in near death, that is in respiratory or cardiac arrest? In my very limited experience, the young people have gone grey instantly, whereas the old people stayed pink. Or does that have to do more with metabolic rate and prior activity - for instance, the baby I saw had a high fever, and the young girl had been doing the most tremendous work of breathing, whereas the old people were just lying still when their breathing or heart stopped.
It concerns me because it means you wouldn't be able to tell just from a quick glance at an elderly patient that he or she had gone into arrest - and in both BLS classes I've taken the instructors, nurses, said people pretty much went grey right away. -
0Jan 3, '08 by ♪♫ in my ♥During my days as a mortuary tech I also saw my share of bodies and never noticed this phenomenon (though I never spent much time really looking at them so it's perhaps I just didn't notice).
Perhaps there's an underlying disease process that produces jaundice which becomes more pronounced with the end of circulation.
Is this a general observation that you've made, a specific case to which you're referring, or a question from an instructor? -
0Jan 3, '08 by Christie RN2006Were their eyes sunken in and creating a shadowing? I have seen that in some of our really sick and emaciated patients, but I haven't really noticed exactly what you are talking about.
1Jan 3, '08 by MIA-RNI have seen a few pts right after passing and they all appeared yellow all over their face, not just their eyes (these were all caucasian people). They were all sick/hospice deaths. After a while, their faces would become pale. No one ever looked blue or grey, but I have usually done the postmortem care pretty quickly after they passed.Queakous likes this.
0Jan 3, '08 by DutchgirlRNQuote from joprasklpnMe either.I really never personally saw a yellow eyed dead person.

Car crashes into Orland Post Office. | Supplied photo
Article Extras
Updated: November 26, 2013 6:37AM
An elderly woman was treated for minor injuries Thursday afternoon after she accidentally drove her sport utility vehicle into Orland Park's main post office, authorities said.
Police and Orland Fire Protection District firefighters arrived at the post office, 9500 W. 144th Place, about 1:10 p.m., according to district spokesman Ray Hanania.
He said the woman pulled into a parking space and pressed on the accelerator rather than the brakes, sending the Lexus SUV through the post office's front window and into the lobby.
Two people were inside the post office at the time, and one of them, a woman, was taken to Palos Community Hospital to be treated for minor injuries, Hanania said.
He said firefighters inspected the damage to the building, concluding there was no major structural damage to make it unsafe.
Orland Park police spokesman, Cmdr. John Keating, could not be reached Thursday afternoon.

epic road trip
Normandy was a first stop on our epic road trip through France and Spain. To be perfectly honest with you I had no desire to visit D Day beaches because I am not interested in war. There is so much sadness around caused by man that I try to stay away from it otherwise it is very depressing. Anyway, we ended up visiting it and I was actually glad that we did. I was expecting to see some cold and attractive place with bad energy, but in reality things have changed. It was great to see all those ruins disappearing under the grass, children and dogs running around unaware of the hard heritage of this place. We even had a picnic there. It was great to see nature reclaiming its own territory once again but also to be reminded of the tragedies which happened here. Never forget.
This photo was shot on film.

It seems like it would be a weird dynamic to have a friendship with Jackie and having her be your boss, and there's this reality show...
Yeah, it's so weird. It's really, really, really, really weird. As the episodes progress, we have to deal with that more. There's kind of a romance blooming between Jackie and a staff member, sort of. And with me and Jackie, it's hard not to take things personally. And, when we're filming, you have to understand, when we're filming, we're forced to be around each other so much more than what we normally would be, especially professionally. So, Jackie and I are buddies, you know? We hang out socially and we're just friends. So when there's so much time together professionally, the line gets a little hazy.
Yeah, I always had problems when I had a corporate job and was working on my novel, and your boss would be your friend, but as soon as there was any conflict with work, they'd switch over to, 'Well, I know you'd rather be working on your novel, but this is your job.' And it would be like, Whoa...
It's weird because Jackie owns the gym that I train at. But all the clients, except training a lesbian couple for SkyLab, which is Jackie's weight loss concept thing, all the people I train at the gym are my own clients. So, really, I'm just paying rent. In a way, she's my boss, but in a way she's not because they're my clients.
So, she's more like your landlord.
Yeah, she's like a landlord. And, clearly, for the show, we're creating a story of a woman who owns a gym and what happens in the gym, but that's where the line gets skewed a bit, because it's weird, and when the cameras start rolling, you just care more. It almost becomes an elimination show and you're afraid that you can lose your job at any time. You sort of become super-conscious of that and, it's strange because Jackie doesn't give a shit. She's just like, 'Do your job. Train your clients. That's fine.' She's not out to fire you, but as soon as the cameras get on you, you're like, 'Is she going to fire me? Is she going to fire me because we're friends and friends can't really work with one another? What's going to happen?' And you just feel like the producers are back there going, 'Ooh, I hope she fires someone. That'd be really good drama.' You know?
And what is the range? How many months of filming equals a season?
We started filming in November, and it was really funny because we got the word that we got picked up and, usually, when you get the word that you got picked up, that's when you go on your diets and start getting in shape, but they said, 'OK, we're going to start in three weeks.' So, we're like, 'Holy shit!' We had no time whatsoever to really prepare ourselves physically or emotionally or mentally. And I think that's why the show is brilliant, because they caught us all off guard.
This season can really be the emotional decline of the Sky Sport and Spa. And we just stopped filming last week. Considering we had a tragedy in the cast, which was very unfortunate. So, in honor of him and in honor of everybody's feelings, we shut down production for a couple of weeks. Just so everyone can take a moment to sift through it. I have to say I was really pleased with the way that the production handled Doug's death. There was not a moment where they tried to capitalize on his passing or anything like that for the sake of television.
Really, the producers are like family. And Lauren Alvarez, who is pretty much the producer who is putting the stories together, is such a wonderful, sensitive person, and very sensitive to people's feelings, just full of respect. I have to imagine that it's not like most reality shows. I don't feel completely manipulated. I was surprised at the first couple episodes, because I was like, 'I hope I look better as the season progresses. I hope I get redeemed.' But I do remember there was one day where we spent the entire day filming apology scenes I was doing for people in the cast.

Kelsey Grammer allegedly just stormed out of CNN's studios in NYC moments before his scheduled interview with Piers Morgan -- and according to Morgan, it was all because producers aired a pic of Kelsey's ex-wife at the start of the show.
Morgan took to Twitter to explain Kelsey's absence tonight, writing, "Kelsey Grammer was supposed to be on my show now but ran out of the building. Strange."
He continued, "Kelsey Grammer saw a photo of his ex wife Camille in the open to our show and legged it. Extraordinary. Never had this happen before."
"I had a very friendly chat with Kelsey backstage. He said he was really looking forward to the interview. Weird."
He added, "I like Kelsey Grammer personally, but this was a shockingly unprofessional thing to do. I wasn't even going to mention his ex-wife!"
Kelsey's rep responded in a statement, saying, "Piers needs to take responsibility for what he did to Kelsey. It's called accountability."

Quoted from jayneeo wellllllll.........I am so jealous.. ....I checked out the genotype site and under recipes, I was surprised to find a vegetarian recipe for the gatherer...(me) and surprising as that was....I was thrilled, actually.
Quoted from jeanb where in God's name am I going to find goose eggs!!!
Quoted from Dr. D Hi all,I loved seeing the posts about the book...The [Genotypediet.com] site has "soft-launched," meaning that it is up and running and we are finding out lots of programming issues that would result in Type A warriors getting a steak recipe! I am collecting all of these issues and sending them on to our partners who are programming the site so that these can be corrected.Bear with us on this..It's going to take a few days or so for us to get the kinks worked out, but I think it will be well worth it!
Quoted from Dr. D We'll have kid tables in due time. In the meantime, I'll publish a patch that uses blood type and the strength-testing components to let parents have some sort of insight.
Quoted from jeanb -snip-I am curious why a publisher would release a book on December 26 rather than before Christmas.
Quoted from jeanb I am curious why a publisher would release a book on December 26 rather than before Christmas.
Quoted from 1750 Did the Geno-type research directly refute any of the blood type research or did it fully support the blood type findings and simply further define those findings?I know this is a 'duh' question, but I would like to hear the answer.
Quoted from 1323 Any chance an A would be able to eat meat after he was tweaked into the correct geno type?
Quoted from 815 Pepperminttwist, you're not leaving the BTD behind. Dr. D. said the BTD is still the most important part of his research.
Quoted from 815 Wow. An A eating goat or sheep. weird.

Feb 04 - Book Review
How Wild Are The Authors of Vampires Gone Wild?
Which author went skinny dipping? Who tried to chop her husband's head off with a sword? Here, the authors of Vampires Gone Wild ask each other some interesting questions about how wild they've been in real life:
Kim Falconer: Kerrelyn, the hero and heroine in V is for VampWoman did some wild things… What was the wildest situation you've ever been in? Has it found its way into any of your books?
Kerrelyn Sparks: My husband and I are almost as wild as Mikhail and Lady Pamela. On our honeymoon, we were on an island in the Caribbean, and one night we walked way down the beach to a spot that was deserted. We left our clothes behind some bushes and ran into the water. Whoopee! Unfortunately, another couple came along and sat on the beach and talked...and talked. We thought they'd never leave! We were trapped in the water up to our shoulders, waiting and waiting. Finally they left, and we made a mad dash back to our clothes!
That exact scenario hasn't happened to any of my characters, but I do enjoy putting them into embarrassing situations!
Now it's Pam's turn to answer a question.Pam, I know you tend to write on the dark side of paranormal. Does it ever cause you to have wild dreams?
Pamela Palmer: Great question, Kerrelyn! I've always had wild dreams, so I suspect they're more the fault of my wild imagination than my stories. I often have dreams that others might consider nightmares, but I call them my action-adventure dreams, and I love them. I'm often with others, trying to escape the bad guys--sometimes from a mansion, sometimes a castle, sometimes the Death Star. We don't always make it, but we never come to any harm, which is why I don't consider them nightmares. I awaken invigorated and ready to write!
And I have a question for you, Amanda. What's the wildest thing that you've ever done for a book?
Amanda Arista: I've always preached that you should write about what you know. For Diaries of an Urban Panther, the main character needed to shoot a gun, so I went to a gun range. In Claws and Effect, I needed to know about biker bars, so I went to a few around town, complete with tight jeans and a top I hop my mother never, ever finds.
For this story, the Vampires in my universe can only be killed by having their heads cut off by an iron sword, so all my vampires carry an iron sword. So, not to drop spoilers, but there is a sword fight in the story. Being a normal person, I don't usually wield a sword, but like a normal person, I do have foam swords and a really great husband. So my husband and I choreographed the fight scenes so I could write about it. I'm sure the neighbors were trying to figure out why I kept asking "how hard would I have tohit you to chop off your head?" After a few bruises, we finally worked it out and voila, fight scene.
Now, Kim, what about you? Since the Vampire myth has been around for ages, there are certain 'stereotypes' about them: Anti-garlic, blood-suckers, and pretty wild in the sac (though this last one is pretty new). As a writer, what are some wildstereotypesyou have heardpeople sayabout being a paranormal writer? Which ones are wrong and which ones are completely dead on?
Kim Falconer: Wow, intriguing
question, Amanda! There are some pretty wild ideas projected onto paranormal
writers, such as they talk to the dead, they write in the nude, they live
alone, with a black cat or a raven or a shape-shifting wolf . . . and my
personal favorite, they only write what they 'know' when it comes to
Any of these could be absolutely true for some authors (I actually do live
alone with two black cats and a Torresian crow, no wolf) but the most common
myth in the bunch is 'we write what we know when it comes to sex.' Ha! I
wish. Writing sex for our genre isn't so much about past experiences, or
anatomy, physiology, and the Kama Sutra, though a working knowledge helps.
Whether good, bad, fast, slow, human, paranormal or bestial, sex is an intense
experience that reveals deeper levels of character personality, and I promise
you, paranormal writers use their wild imaginations there!
Pre-order your copy of Vampires Gone Wild and come walk on the wild side with Kerrelyn Sparks, Pamela Palmer, Amanda Arista and Kim Falconer!

The U.S. House's Committee on Energy and Commerce passed H.R. 1206 on to the full U.S. House of Representatives in September. The bipartissan bill would clarify that agent compensation is not part of the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) requirements established in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which went into effect on Jan1, 2011. If the MLR calculation is not quickly corrected to exclude agent compensation, consumers are at risk of losing the professional, licensed guidance of insurance agents during this tinme of great change in the health insurance market. Many insurance carriers have significantly cut their agent compensation in an effort to comply with these new regulations. More . . .

My refrigerator consumes 331 watts. Lets say it run 20minutes per hour. Lets also say I have a dc generator that produces 60 watts. How long would it take to charge a 12vdc battery (with inverter)? |

Golly by gosh! While I'd really like to try to answer your question, there's really not enough information here and it's rather difficult to follow. What's the refrigerator have to do with with this, unless you are trying to power it off a 12 volt battery with and inverter. BTW, the refrigerator may consume only 331 watts while running but may require up to 20 amps to start the compressor. But then, what size refrigerator are we talking about? As far as recharging a 12 volt battery: What is the voltage output and current output of the generator? What is the amp-hour rating of the battery? How far has the battery been discharged? The inverter would be used to convert the 12VDC to 120VAC and usually has an overhead of at least 10-15% in excess of the load. A little more information is needed here, but running a fridge off an inverter from a 12 volt battery, being charged by a 60 watt generator is just not going to happen. |

..........the feeling of the first day of school is captured nicely....enjoyed... (Report) Reply
Roger McGough
First Day at School
A millionbillionwillion miles from home
Waiting for the bell to go. (To go where?)
Why are they all so big, other children?
So noisy? So much at home they
Must have been born in uniform
Lived all their lives in playgrounds
Spent the years inventing games
That don't let me in. Games
That are rough, that swallow you up.
And the railings.
All around, the railings.
Are they to keep out wolves and monsters?
Things that carry off and eat children?
Things you don't take sweets from?
Perhaps they're to stop us getting out
Running away from the lessins. Lessin.
What does a lessin look like?
Sounds small and slimy.
They keep them in the glassrooms.
Whole rooms made out of glass. Imagine.
I wish I could remember my name
Mummy said it would come in useful.
Like wellies. When there's puddles.
Yellowwellies. I wish she was here.
I think my name is sewn on somewhere
Perhaps the teacher will read it for me.
Tea-cher. The one who makes the tea.

Comments about this poem (First Day at School by Roger McGough )
* Sunprincess * (6/17/2014 11:19:00 PM) -
Gangadharan Nair Pulingat (4/6/2014 1:48:00 AM) The theme opted for the poem is world wide accepted reality of a human being of this time and future times where the children have to face a day the first day to school which could not forgotten in a lifespan one gets in this world. The day starts to the journey of education life of the little one and through this journey there will be several bushes and trees which may have thorns and good fruits as well as streams and rivers to cross. The first day to school is very much amusing to remember when it pertains to an old man who have joined in a village school with accompany of father or mother or guardian of near relation one remembers. The new books dresses, the smell of new ones and the new faces of children around him in school, the crying ones, the story telling ones, the bags of different colours all are amusing and interesting. The poet had done the poem very well and it is very interesting to read. (Report) Reply
Anya Scherbak (3/5/2014 1:26:00 PM) Honestly I'm not to much of a poetry person, but I like the poem «first day at school» by Roger McGongh, because we can feel what the child feels, can see the world through his eyes. Also I find this poem amazing because Roger Mcgongh uses strange words as such glassroom, lessin and millionbillionwillion. It makes the poem interesting and unusual for us. This poem describes the feelings and emotions of the child, who goes to school for a first time. The child feels fear. I think that he was afraid, because he was 5 years old. In America children go to school at the age of 5 years. And in Russia children go to school at the age of 6-7 years old, so they feel more confident, than American children. As for me, I remember my first day at school. Unlike this child I wasn't afraid and felt confident, because my mother told me only good things about the school and because I was a sociable and friendly child. I liked my first teacher and I found new friends at once. I believe that children shouldn't go to school too early because they aren't psychologically ready for it (Report) Reply
Kristina Matveeva (2/19/2014 11:52:00 AM) Honestly, I'm not too much a poetry person, but I like poem First day at school that was written by Roger McGough, because it's full of strange words such as millionbillionwillion glassrooms that make this poem different from others, so it's very unusual. This poem describes feeling of a boy, who goes at school for the first time, so we can see the world through his eyes, that's why this poem makes me feel nostalgic, I remember my first day at school...but unlike this child I was not scared of teachers and children in the high school did not seem to me so big, I knew what do classroom and lesson mean, because I went to a kindergarten where we had lessons and my mother told me different things about school. I quickly made ??friends because I was very sociable and friendly child, and our teacher was cute, that's why I had nothing to fear.
In America children go to school at the age of 5 or even 4.. I went to the kindergarten in this age, so that's this boy missed his mother and was afraid of school, he is very small.
I'm fond of this poem and I'd read something like that. (Report) Reply -
Alena Kataeva (2/18/2014 12:20:00 PM) This poem didn't touch me at all, to tell the truth. My memories of the first school day are completely different. Children were not so big and teachers not so terrible. And I didn't miss my mum. I think our disagreements are connected with geographic factors: Russian children start school later than American ones, so they are more confident and psychologically prepared for school. That is why it is not so dramatic for them. The method of using the wrong words can seem interesting at first sight but in my opinion it is not suitable because the general tone of this poem is not so childish. Maybe I didn't understand the message of the poem but anyway this is not for me. (Report) Reply
Ehtibarova Ayshan (2/17/2014 10:48:00 AM) The poem attracts the reader's attention by its childness and innocence. How striking the child's fear at the first day at school is described. On the one hand, the reader can laugh throughout the poem because of the wrong spelling of some words (willion, glassrooms, lessin) by the character. On the other hand, the reader can feel sympathetic to the child as he is afraid of the uncommon world of a school, classrooms, lessons, teachers and pupils: everything in this world is alien to him, so the child is confused.

Tom Prato (2/10/2006 2:43:00 AM) I remember my first day at school. All the children appear so big and bold. Two of them were wearing masks of animals and running around. I felt lost and frightened. My mother was nowhere to be seen. The tables and chairs were so small, and in the afternoon we had to sleep with our head upon the table. I don't remember anything about tea, but we drank powdered milk. Oh, this poem brings back memories. The poet has got into the skin of the child and truly empathized. (Report) Reply
