Bio and Links
I am a future resident of The Great Mausoleum of Forest Lawn, in Glendale, California. My niche (20817) faces W.C. Fields in the Columbarium of Nativity. I leave flowers for my Mother and W.C. every other week. I enjoy the history and art of cemeteries, and photograhing them. This my first statue, "The Butterfly Baby", by Bruno Pattorino. It sits in the Columbarium of Security on Gardenia Terrace of the Great Mausoleum. [Click on this photo to enlarge]. I also have an original statue of "Cupid's Choice" by Donatello Gabbrielli in the Hall of Inspiration (Holly Terrace) that is adjacent to the Columbarium of Nativity where my Mom is inurned and where I will be with her one day. I also have a bronze statue of "The Rising Sun" by Adolph Weinman in the Columbarium of Sanctuaries next to The Last Supper stained glass window on Memorial Terrace, Court of Honor. I recently purchased by fourth statue (marble) of "Little Friends" by Pietro Bazanti, (on Holly Terrace), and dedicated it to my late neighbor and friend, LaVonne Rose Potter. It stands in the Sanctuary of Redemption atop the grand staircase leading from The Last Supper stained glass window up to my niche in the Columbarium of Nativity (Holly Terrace).

Thank you so much for sponsoring Rick Marcellus' page!! My mom entered his information to findagrave & in the process, showed my two kiddos how to do it. She was a classmate of Rick's prior to him leaving on the Albatross. She was huge into geanaolgy & found findagrave useful in her research. Anyways, she passed away a year ago, so now I'm learning how to maintain all the memorials she entered, etc. thanks again for sponsoring Rick!!!

Marvin Gay Sr.
I do not know how those repeated messages occurred, please remove them. Other than this, I just spoke with a reliable source at Holy Cross and they have no record of Marvin Gay Sr. being buried there. Can you tell me what proof or source this came about? I'd be interested in finding him.

Find A Grave Photo Request / Marvin GAY
Hi, I'm happy to fulfill your Find A Grave request to photograph the headstone of Marvin GAY at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, CA. Because there are more than 100 open requests for this cemetery, please call the cemetery's office at 310-836-5500 and get the specific plot number of the grave--I can't go to their office and ask for the locations of 100+ graves! :-)
Once you've got the location, message it to me and I'll go take the picture as soon as I can.
I will be heading to the cemetery this Sunday so if I get your location information by then, I will be happy to post your photos then.

Living with the iPhone 6, part 2. Scott Stein tries out the 6 Plus versus the 6 and finds that neither one really steps up to match the iPad right now, and a big reason has to do with apps.
The phone, reportedly codenamed McLaren, was apparently set to become a new flagship Lumia smartphone for Microsoft but was dropped at some point this year.
A survey that targeted more than 1,300 smartphone users in countries such as Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, and Mexico found people craving devices with 5-inch and 5.5-inch screens.
The launch of a bigger iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phablet are just days away, and multiple surveys say supersized phone screens are exactly what the public craves.

The Rubin Book signing: Living Shrines of Uyghur China
Book signing: Living Shrines of Uyghur China
Meet us in Serai as Lisa Ross celebrates the publication of her book, Living Shrines of Uyghur China, (Monacelli Press, Feb. 5, 2013) and the opening of her exhibition of photographs with a book signing during Himalayan Happy Hour at the Rubin Museum of Art.
Note that Lisa Ross will be giving a talk, which is ticketed, at 7 pm. in the Museum's theater. To purchase tickets go here.
"Lisa Ross is a hunter and gatherer of rare grace. With the patience and resolve of a true pilgrim, she travels to impossible places and captures ephemeral notions (such as prayer, history, isolation, migration, hope, grief, longing, etc.). These notions, she transforms with a quiet alchemy into photographs that inhabit the viewer's mind and soul forever. Quite simply, my admiration for this work has no bounds." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
The exhibition Living Shrines of Uyghur China was supported, in part, by Peter Hutchings and Martha Wolfgang.
About the Author
Lisa Ross is a Brooklyn born artist and educator based in New York City. Her photographs and video works have been part of numerous group and solo exhibitions in Europe, North Africa, and the US. In 2012, the University of California, Berkeley sponsored an exhibition of her work and she had a residency in Baku, Azerbaijan made possible by a grant through The CICRP European Cultural Capital, Marseilles, France. Her book, Living Shrines of Uyghur China, is to be published by the Monacelli Press, on February 5, 2013.

on March 30, 2009 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
Montana is among the most entrepreneurial states in the US, at least that's the message from a new study from Montana's Workforce Information Center. The study assesses entrepreneurial activity in Montana according to a number of different metrics, including new business starts, new business growth, and entrepreneurial propensities.
Montana outperforms national averages on all measures. Analysts attribute the results to a friendly business and tax climate, and Montana's relatively high average education levels. The report will certainly interest those with a connection to Montana, but it also offers a useful template for other states and regions that are seeking to present a user-friendly depiction of their local entrepreneurial economies.

This plant is supposed to be kumquat hybrid with orange. Don't know how, but it is what said. Great concept, larger size friut but still maitain kumqaut flavor. But I am wondering if anyone have grown this plant and had tasted the fruits. I am looking for first hand expereinces and comments on how easy to grow this plant; any special care requirements; how many fruits a tree can fruit, my regular kumqaut tree grows a treefull of kumqauts, I am wondering if this plant does the same; The flavor of the fruits; etc. ect... Thanks. |

I have one Olympia. It is probably a cross between a Nagami kumquat and some unknown mandarin (it was a chance seedling found under a Nagami kumquat tree.) It is a tall tree, FULL of fruit, just like a kumquat or a calamondin. Fruit tastes much like a kumquat (which I'm not a fan of, but for those that are, they like them very much). Easy to grow, similar requirements as a kumquat, cold tolerant. Interesting tree. Dr. Kahn at the UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection likes them. Patty S. |

Hi, Patty, Thank you for the information and the UCR link. Actually, your too many Meyer post made my hands itch or mouth watering for something tasting. I am a big fan of kumquats. love the balanced sweet/tart flavor. The fruit can be tossed into mouth like cherry tomatoes right off the tree. you mentioned calamondine here. I have see it was called Phillipine lime. Does fully ripe calamondine taste like kumquats? I have never had calamodine fruits. I am just curious. Can calamodine fruits be eaten like kumquats? I have a kumquat that was called Phillippine kumquat by the person who gave it to me, but I have never heard any kumquat is called Phillpine kumquat anywhere. I suspect it might be the phillipean lime, which is the calamodine. |

Ah, not so much. They are much, much tarter than kumquats, but I hear they make a nice marmalade. I have a row of 5 variegated calamondins that are ornamentals for me. I don't use the fruit. They are a very pretty landscaping tree. They are round, about the size of a large, but round kumquat. Smaller than a ping pong ball. And a very pretty tree. Patty S. |
I've grown this for many years as an ornamental. Makes very pretty but very sour fruit. It is a juicy citrus unlike the kumquat. IMHO is it not edible out of hand unless you like eating lemons out of hand. |

IMHO calamondin is not edible out of hand, way too sour. I don't like the marmalade it makes either. |

I have a ten year old Indio on FD rootstock and it makes a very pretty tree. It's in my wifes front flower bed and during the winter the fruit is very showy. Taste wise, it is not very edible. My only use is to throw a few in my mixed marmalade's for color. I like to fresh squeeze my calamondin over fish/shrimp dishes. Other than that I don't use them much for anything else, other than one of my friends likes them in his mixed drinks. |

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 You people in Galatia were told very clearly about the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. But you were foolish; you let someone trick you. | 1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. |
2 Tell me this one thing: How did you receive the Holy Spirit? Did you receive the Spirit by following the law? No, you received the Spirit because you heard the Good News and believed it. | 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? |
3 You began your life in Christ by the Spirit. Now are you trying to make it complete by your own power? That is foolish. | 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? |
4 Were all your experiences wasted? I hope not! | 4 Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing? |
5 Does God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you because you follow the law? No, he does these things because you heard the Good News and believed it. | 5 Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard? |
6 The Scriptures say the same thing about Abraham: "Abraham believed God, and God accepted Abraham's faith, and that faith made him right with God." | 6 Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." |
7 So you should know that the true children of Abraham are those who have faith. | 7 Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. |
8 The Scriptures, telling what would happen in the future, said that God would make the non-Jewish people right through their faith. This Good News was told to Abraham beforehand, as the Scripture says: "All nations will be blessed through you." | 8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." |
9 So all who believe as Abraham believed are blessed just as Abraham was. | 9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. |
10 But those who depend on following the law to make them right are under a curse, because the Scriptures say, "Anyone will be cursed who does not always obey what is written in the Book of the Law." | 10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." |
11 Now it is clear that no one can be made right with God by the law, because the Scriptures say, "Those who are right with God will live by trusting in him." | 11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." |
12 The law is not based on faith. It says, "A person who obeys these things will live because of them." | 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." |
13 Christ took away the curse the law put on us. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. It is written in the Scriptures, "Anyone whose body is displayed on a treen is cursed." | 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." |
14 Christ did this so that God's blessing promised to Abraham might come through Jesus Christ to those who are not Jews. Jesus died so that by our believing we could receive the Spirit that God promised. | 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. |
15 Brothers and sisters, let us think in human terms: Even an agreement made between two persons is firm. After that agreement is accepted by both people, no one can stop it or add anything to it. | 15 Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. |
16 God made promises both to Abraham and to his descendant. God did not say, "and to your descendants." That would mean many people. But God said, "and to your descendant." That means only one person; that person is Christ. | 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. |
17 This is what I mean: God had an agreement with Abraham and promised to keep it. The law, which came four hundred thirty years later, cannot change that agreement and so destroy God's promise to Abraham. | 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. |
18 If the law could give us Abraham's blessing, then the promise would not be necessary. But that is not possible, because God freely gave his blessings to Abraham through the promise he had made. | 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. |
19 So what was the law for? It was given to show that the wrong things people do are against God's will. And it continued until the special descendant, who had been promised, came. The law was given through angels who used Moses for a mediatorn to give the law to people. | 19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. |
20 But a mediator is not needed when there is only one side, and God is only one. | 20 A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. |
21 Does this mean that the law is against God's promises? Never! That would be true only if the law could make us right. But God did not give a law that can bring life. | 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. |
22 Instead, the Scriptures showed that the whole world is bound by sin. This was so the promise would be given through faith to people who believe in Jesus Christ. | 22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. |
23 Before this faith came, we were all held prisoners by the law. We had no freedom until God showed us the way of faith that was coming. | 23 Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. |
24 In other words, the law was our guardian leading us to Christ so that we could be made right with God through faith. | 24 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. |
25 Now the way of faith has come, and we no longer live under a guardian. | 25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. |
26 | 26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, |
27 You were all baptized into Christ, and so you were all clothed with Christ. This means that you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. | 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. |
28 In Christ, there is no difference between Jew and Greek, slave and free person, male and female. You are all the same in Christ Jesus. | 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
29 You belong to Christ, so you are Abraham's descendants. You will inherit all of God's blessings because of the promise God made to Abraham. | 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. |

The RRR 'Ridiculously Resilient Ridge' Returns to California
By Christopher C. BurtJanuary 9, 2015
After a very wet first half of December hopes were high that the beginning to the end of California's years-long drought might finally be at hand. However, virtually no rainfall has fallen across the state since December 18th and none is forecast until at least January 18th. Yet again, a month-long mid-winter dry spell has befallen the state.

What the 5th IPCC Assessment Doesn't Include
By Angela FritzSeptember 27, 2013
Melting permafrost has the potential to release an additional 1.5 trillion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, and could increase our global average temperature by 1.5°F in addition to our day-to-day human emissions. However, this effect is not included in the IPCC report issued Friday morning, which means the estimates of how Earth's climate will change are likely on the conservative side.

Rachel O'Brien is about to enter uncharted waters for the Cal Poly swimming team this week. The senior qualified in the 100 and 200 butterfly events for the NCAA Division I Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana. O'Brien is the first Cal Poly woman to qualify for the NCAA Championships since the program turned Division I in 1994.
"I'm honored that I can represent the team and it shows that since Tom (Milich) has been here and we've turned Division 1 we've improved a lot and each year got better. And I think I'll be the first of many from Cal Poly to go," said O'Brien.
She qualified for NCAA's as a sophomore and junior while at Oregon State. She finished 17th in the 200 fly last year, missing All-American status by one spot. She has set a few goals for this year.
"To get a best time would be one of my goals. And if I do get a best time I most likely make top 16. but if I make top 16 and I don't get a best time I'll be really happy. So just to get that All-American would be really amazing," said O'Brien.
In the 100 fly, O'Brien is seeded 40th, at 53.08 seconds. She's Cal Poly's school record-holder in each event. The prelims are on Friday morning. The 200 fly is on Saturday.
Santa Maria native Meghan Zimmer, a senior at San Diego State, will compete in three relay events in Indianapolis. She will represent the Aztecs in the 400 yard medley, 400 yard freestyle and 800 freestyle relays. Zimmer, a Pioneer Valley High graduate, set two SDSU records this season. She ranks #1 in the 100 free style (49.74 seconds) and #1 in the 200 free (1:45.49).

I bought one a few months ago and it's the most worthless garden tool I own. It's supposed to remove weeds, but it takes about 3 times the force of a hoe to get the weed up. I can't see that it has any advantage over a hoe. I'm wondering if anyone here is happy with their swoe, and if so, could tell me how they're using it.

Some well intentioned soul gave me one of these as a gift. I thought I might be able to use it as a hammer or a defense weapon in a pinch but it turned out to have no use or purpose. I made sure that left it was left in the shed at my last home. |
Return it to where you purchased it and try for an exchange for a different item Mary |

I've never used a swoe but love a "scuffle" hoe or stirrup hoe. It cuts on the push and pull strokes and makes short work of weeds without having to "chop" at them like a traditional hoe. When hoeing weeds close to your plants you don't usually want to disturb the soil too deep anyway. That will bring up additional weed seeds and sometimes will damage the shallow roots of the plants you want to keep. The stirrup hoe only disturbs the top half inch or so of soil and is lots easier to use. JMHO |
I cannot recommend a hula hoe enough! Whatever a swoe is, I'd exchange it for a hula hoe. |
Last summer someone stole my swoe, what woe! For all of you who have posted spite for this sort of hoe, send it to me, they are hard to find and expensive in the USA. It is a wonderful tool for a quick garden touch up. It is not intended to break up the soil or cut well established plants and weeds, but rather to go through an established garden and nip new weeds in the bud. A swoe makes it easy to go in between rows of plants or across beds and aerate the soil as you slice through the top 1/2 inch of soil and cut down sprouting weed seeds with out bending down or getting to one's knees to pick them by hand. Do any of you unhappy souls want to put yours up on ebay so I can bid for it! Fooey on thee who took mine. My kingdom for a new swoe! |
Has the swoe ever been used in poetry or music? I was asking because I have a painting at home that is a still life of sorts that is called "Apple, bottle, book, wenier dog and swoe". I figured that if folks were willing to paint it that it may have been the object of song. Greg |

Anyone who is using a hoe to "get the weeds up" needs to learn to hoe the easy way. The purpose of a hoe is to cut through the weed just below the soil surface so that it will wither and die, leaving its residues to be recycled by the soil life but disturbing the surface and turning up new weed seeds as little as possible. Chopping down into the ground is just asking for shoulder and back problems in the long run and leads to extra weeding. The swoe is a lovely tool, sharp on three edges, and will cut through weed stems closer to the plant you want to keep than any other I've tried. The art of the hoe is to slide it just under the surface so you don't disturb the surface and bring up more weed seeds. If you do want to use the traditional American chopping motion can I recommend the cobra head which will hook out roots with less damage to its surrounding than others. The value of the swoe can best be demonstrated by the fact that I've just had to buy my fourth (in forty years) because yet again its been stolen. and I'm delighted to find that the price here has just dropped by two thirds so I recommend shopping around. |

Sharpen your swoes with a grinding wheel. then you can slice thoe weeds close to your plants easily sorry all you folks didnt have someone to show you |
I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for one, sounds like a great tool. I have a hoe that is sharp, because I keep it that way. It's more like the type Sandy has. I keep it shap with a fine tooth knife file. Now THAT is a great tool to have. Lee Valley has a great selection. http://www.leevalley.com/us/garden/page.aspx?cat=2&p=44823 Just be sure to look to see that it was made in the USA! Remember,the money you make here, stays here! |
Ultimately it comes down to personal taste/preference, but I love the balance and lightness of this hoe for skim-weeding in tight quarters. It's lighter, more maneuverable, and, to my tastes, better balanced than the swoes I've tried. http://www.leevalley.com/us/garden/page.aspx?p=10425&cat=2,44823&ap=1 |
I purchased a swoe through Organic Gardening over 10 years ago. Paid less than $20 for it then and have used it every season since and wouldn't take today's new price for it. Handiest garden tool I own, even with having to replace the handle twice over time. This morning I cleaned the weeds from our entire raised-bed garden (9 beds, 12x4 ft.) in about 15 minutes. Then I sharpened it for the next use. Keeping it sharp and then practice through use are the two critical factors for efficient use and satisfaction. |

We have just installed suspended patio lighting. We have a couple of socket that we don't want to have light bulbs in. Right how we have covered them with electrical tape. For a more finished look I tried to find E27 socket covers, but in searching the web I don't find anything. Can someone help me locate a product that would could be screwed into the sockets to keep them water/dust tight? Thanks in advance |

The E27 is essentially interchangeable with our Edison/medium base, the base on the soon-to-be-gone 60 watt A19 incandescent lamp-- often erroneously called a "light bulb". Water/dust tight? Not sure that such a product exists for that socket as the socket itself does not have those properties. |
E26 is North American standard (a.k.a. Edison base), barely smaller than European E27 which is generally physically compatible, though light bulbs that fit in the E27 normally are 230V 50Hz. |

Growing a relationship between your bodies and the world that wraps around them—whether it's through water in the garden, cotton in the fields, or the unknown hands that craft souvenirs—has never been more in the spotlight than it is today.
"We have a lot of fun with it," Southon says. "Where we're at today shouldn't feel like an obligation to the universe, it should be something that we embrace with a really open heart and an adventurous spirit." Rather than becoming smothered in restrictions, some spas are making headway and embracing the quest for wellness as a long-awaited opportunity.

Mega quarry application rejected by government
The proposed mine in Melanchton is nowhere near to becoming a reality. Ministry of the Environment officials stated it is their position that the documents submitted by the quarry proponents failed to demonstrate a three dimensional understanding of the geology, hydrogeology and hydrology of the site.
Among the reasons for the position they took, MOE staff cited:
- numerous discrepancies between the text and the observations and data;
- the absence of a three dimensional conceptual model of the site, including the overburden stratigraphy, bedrock stratigraphy and connection of surface water features with the bedrock;
- geologic and hydrogeologic data not presented in three dimensions;
- statements and conclusions were made in the text that were not supported by either data or citations; and
- the recharge system proposal was supported neither by proof of concept data nor by comparisons with existing recharge systems at other quarries.

Biologically inspired features, such as Gabor filters, result in very high dimensional measurement. Does reducing the dimensionality of the feature space afford advantages beyond computational efficiency? Do some approaches to dimensionality reduction (DR) yield improved action unit detection? To answer these questions, we compared DR approaches in two relatively large databases of spontaneous facial behavior (45 participants in total with over 2 minutes of FACS-coded video per participant). Facial features were tracked and aligned using active appearance models (AAM). SIFT and Gabor features were extracted from local facial regions. We compared linear (PCA and KPCA), manifold (LPP and LLE), supervised (LDA and KDA) and hybrid approaches (LSDA) to DR with respect to AU detection. For further comparison, a no-DR control condition was included as well. Linear support vector machine classifiers with independent train and test sets were used for AU detection. AU detection was quantified using area under the ROC curve and F1. Baseline results for PCA with Gabor features were comparable with previous research. With some notable exceptions, DR improved AU detection relative to no-DR. . |
In this project, we explore various methods to restore the certain view of the faces to help real-time person identification systems. We characterize the differences between two distinct views as the results of intensity changes and spatial displacements. Thus, a facial image can be considered as a combination of its texture and shape vectors, which encode the differences in terms of intensities and the spatial-displacement information, respectively. In the first stage of our algorithm, we focus on the estimation of the texture vectors, with the assumption that a test input and the corresponding face to be reconstructed share similar shape vectors. The texture vectors are initially estimated using patch-based eigentransformation via a linear mapping relationship being established. In the second stage, we employ an optical-flow-based method to estimate the difference in shape vectors between the initially estimated results and the target HR image. Having selected the most similar training samples to the input, optical flow is employed to compute the pixel displacements, which are used to warp the corresponding reference samples with the same view as the target image. The shape vectors of the initially estimated results are then refined based on the warped images generated and the local kernels derived. |
Face-hallucination techniques refer to the methods that reconstruct HR facial images based on the prior information learned from a single or a set of face training samples. It has been widely used for practical face recognition and detection, as facial images captured by video cameras are often blurred and of low resolution. In our framework, we consider each image as a combination of a texture vector and a shape vector, which encode the differences in terms of pixel intensities and the displacement of each pixel with respect to a set of selected reference images. Thus, our proposed method is composed of two stages of reconstruction to restore the two vectors. In the first stage, based on the correspondence derived between an interpolated low-resolution (LR) face and its corresponding HR face, we employ a sub-space analysis method to derive the weight of each LR training sample contributing to an input LR face, based on the assumptions that the pixels inside patches at the same position refer to the same type of facial feature, and that sub-pixel spatial displacement can be neglected if the patch size is small. The same weights are then applied to the corresponding HR patches at the same position to generate the initially estimated results. In the second stage, we use optical flow to compute the sub-pixel movement of each pixel so as to compensate the spatial distortions in the initially estimated results. The compensation of the sub-pixel movement is based on a derived local kernel, which describes the spatial arrangement of pixels in a local neighborhood. Based on the similar HR faces searched and the assumption that an estimated local kernel should be more dependent on those samples with a similar local structure, we characterize the expected local kernels based on maximizing the likelihood of a multivariate Gaussian distribution. |

Fluff & Caramel's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Fluff and Caramel are two gorgeous creamish-marmelade colored male kittens who were rescued from a wood pile. The are both extremely sweet and playful. They are combo tested negative, up to date on shots and neutered. Fluff has medium length hair and Caramel has shorter hair. This is a "courtesy post* for a rescuer friend. Please Contact Jennifer @ 803-524-0018 if interested in adopting these indoor kittens. Or you may email Sandy @ email@example.com and I will connect you.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fluff & Caramel, a Pineville Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Pineville, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Pineville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pineville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pineville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pineville paves the way for another one to be saved.

This is probably going to seem trivial, but it is driving me a little buggy. I'm a programmer, so I spend almost my whole day editing code, including a large amount of cutting, copying and pasting. So I do a lot of key-sequences where I'm holding down shift(+ctrl)+arrows to select, then depressing control to start a ctrl+c or a ctrl+x sequence. What's driving me nuts is that while I'm editing, the various KDE-based editors (Eric, Kwrite, Kate) are all displaying behaviour where if I hold down shift and move the cursor to select, then depress ctrl before I release shift, my next keystroke (normally ctrl+c or ctrl+x) is ignored. Given that probably 80% of the time I'm doing shift+ctrl+arrow to select "words", this makes for a very frustrating situation where I have to pause, explicitly release the control, release the shift, then re-depress the control key (and when I do it wrong I wind up having to go from where I was trying to paste back to where I copied). Similarly, if I hold down shift before depressing control to start selecting, the first arrow-keypress is ignored for moving about in words, so I wind up having to constantly check to see if I've really selected the thing I'm trying to select (which slows me down). To be clear shift, then control, then arrow ignores the first arrow-keypress, whereas control, then shift, then arrow pays attention to the first arrow-keypress. I'm seeing a similar effect in Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox (form text-entry), where if I use shift-ctrl-arrow to select words and let the ctrl key up last, the editor consumes two keystrokes before returning to normal editing. I'm gathering that it's entering some sort of "chording" key-entry mode, where it's expecting me to enter an accented character sequence or the like, but I can't find anywhere to *disable* that. That's supported by the fact that if the two characters are "co", a copyright symbol is inserted, and ss inserts a German ß character (note, that this chording entry also occurs in the KDE-based editors, but only for the case where I select with just shift+arrows, then depress control before releasing shift (first case outlined above)). The effect from the KDE editors wrt shift then control then arrow ignoring the arrow-press while the keys are down does *not* occur in Mozilla (that is, the word is selected normally, but the next key-stroke after releasing everything is ignored, and will produce extended characters if for example co or ss are the next two characters). Just pressing shift, then ctrl, releasing, then typing the two-character sequence produces the chording effect as well. I've disabled KDE keyboard layouts and checked that there aren't any hotkeys with just ctrl in them. Locale is set to US English. The keyboard is a Microsoft Natural Pro (USB). Running xorg-x11 (same effect on 6.7 and 6.8) and kde 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.3.0 (all show the same effect) on AMD64. I'm guessing this is: * a bug in the keyboard driver o that could explain the KDE problems, if the driver was mis-reporting the sequence of releasing shift and control o wouldn't explain the chording-key mode, or the ignoring the first arrow with both modifier keys down * possibly a problem with the xorg configuration, but I can't see what it would be, I just tell it that it's a "microsoft" keyboard with "us" layout * possibly two entirely different "features"/bugs that just happen to be related to the same keys I'd really appreciate any guidance people have about how to disable these effects, or how to go about tracking down where the setup for such "features" would be located so I can terminate them with extreme prejudice :) (I'm getting tired of screaming at the computer :) ).

I created this using my favorite cornbread mix, a Trader Joe's brand, which requires the addition of oil, egg and milk.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Heptones By Jeff Tamarkin Published January 14, 2008 Sweet TalkingHeartbeat
Vocal trios were ubiquitous in Jamaica at the dawn of the reggae era, but few were as electable as the Heptones. Original frontman Leroy Sibbles' voice resided in easy-on-the-ears Smokey Robinson/Al Green territory, and the tight-woven harmonies in which he engaged with Barry Llewellyn and Earl Morgan were silky-smooth, emitting a Temptations/Impressions vibe. Sweet Talking concentrates not on hits but on the trio's early sides for Studio One, aiming squarely at the predisposed fan and collector. Several tracks make their first CD appearance, among them 1970's "Let's Try," which exhorts the youth to forego criminal activity and "find a way to help ourselves today." Rare stereo mixes are also prevalent, none as inspirational as the traditional gospel "Glory Land." Cruddy production mars some of the earlier tunes, and a number of Sibbles' love lyrics are sophomoric, but Sweet Talking, while not essential Heptones, is a worthy addendum to their discography.

So what's your favorite method of de-aphid-ifying your citrus? Spritzes of neem? Daily hosing? I'm getting a lovely flush of new buds and leaves, and every morning I'm seeing new pockets of aphids. I've pretty much been hosing them off, but wondering if there isn't a better way. I don't know if daily baths are good for my young tango mandarin in ground for less than a year... But maybe they are? |

Hard spraying with water. Multiple times. That usually dispenses with the aphids. If after 3 sprays, you're still heavily infested, you can then resort to Neem in the evening (after the bees have gone back to the hives). And yes, in our ridiculously dry weather out here, spraying your trees is very, very good for them. Removes dust, critters, improves transpiration and removes a more favorable environment for certain pests (like red spider mites). If not, then no tree would tolerate the frequent rains we usually get this time of year. Patty S. |

After blasting the entire plant with water to clear out the tresspassers, you may want to snuggly wrap a couple rings of 1" masking tape around a smooth area of the lower trunk with the sticky side facing outward. Insects walking across the tape will commonly get stuck on the tape, or may simply avoid stepping on it. The glue will gradually lose it's effectiveness, so just replace the rings when they are no longer sticky. If you have small lizards, it would be good to check the rings each day to see if any need help to escape. |
Great advice... will do both of these today!!! |
And maybe equally important, you probably need to control your ants. In citrus, almost without exception if you have aphids, you have ants. Control the ants and the aphids will be a very small problem or none. For my garden trees I just hose off the aphids; for my field trees, when I see aphids I get after the farm manager to control the ants. |
Best take-away from a recent course at the local botanical garden was a cheap, simple, non-toxic control of soft-bodied insects in greenhouses. Aphids, white fly, 'crawler' stage scale and the like. Using a quart-sized sprayer bottle, add a cap or two of isopropyl alcohol and a drop or two of Dawn detergent as a surfactant. Swirl to mix...don't shake. Spray. Repeat as necessary...but as mentioned above, integrated control is the key. Aphids usually mean ants that 'tend' them. Cheers |

So I finally used my first SweetJack deal last night. I can't believe it has taken me this long to use one! I went to Biskoku Japanese Restaurant in Sandy Springs off of Roswell Rd. for some killer sushi. I would have to say the smoked salmon was my favorite. Mmmmm mmmm! And the lobster roll they had as a special was quite delicious too! The service was excellent and the ambiance was really nice. Probably one of the better sushi places I have been to. I would definitely check this place out if you're a sushi fan.
And this weekend I am using more SweetJacks! haha, I just can't stop now. Tomorrow morning I will be enjoying a huge stack of pancakes at the Original Pancake House in Alpharetta (http://sweetjack.com/coupon/182) and after that I am meeting a group of friends to go tubing down the Hooch! I am very pumped for some good times!!!
Anyone else using a SweetJack deal this weekend?
Have fun this weekend everyone!

Some interesting info about the Brittle Star. Aparently they walk.
Thanks to Glenn for Sharing.
Unlike their Echinoderm brethren, brittle stars do not move along on tube feet that can propel them in any direction. Instead, brittle stars 'walk'. This mode of movement by brittle stars is even more astonishing when it is considered that brittle stars, like all echinoderms, are not bilaterally symmetrical, i.e mirror imaged halves

Looking at photo Ive taken I can see distinct tap root. Yet all literature says fibrous and shallow. There are a number of thicker roots from plant base around the tap root. So for an assignment would I say tap root plus ?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think it would depend on things like how the assignment was worded and what your options (if given) were. Are you only to report what you see after a certain period of growth? |
Well I had classed things for the root section as fibrous, or tap or stolons. Everything I read said fibrous, but when I pulled plant out I could see an obvious tap root plus little fibrous ones round top. I didnt think i could class it as both. |
The radicle will develop into a long primary root in both types of root systems. I think what brandon7 is getting at is that those little fibrous ones might eventually give rise to a fibrous root system. |
Some plants that normally grow strong taproots when grown from seed, do not have taproots when reproduced vegetative. Acantholinum spp. are a good example. |

If you've been feeling hungry lately, you're not alone. While the USDA says 85.3% of U.S. households were food secure throughout 2009, because of the economic recession we're experiencing, lack of nutritious food is a growing problem that is affecting more of us. Food pantries and kitchens are seeing a lot of new faces at their doors – families, young people, and middle- and working-class individuals.
No one should have to choose between food and paying for other necessities like rent, medical bills, heat, or transportation. There is no shame in getting the help you need.
Here is the information you need to beat hunger:

Welcome to Whispering Willows G.C.
Whispering Willows is the longest running city owned golf course in Livonia, having opened in 1967. The course is known for hole #2, a difficult par 4, rated as one of the 18 hardest holes in greater Detroit. Tough par 3's will also grab your attention as you wind your way through numerous tree-lined holes.
Whispering Willows is one of the most popular golf courses in the area. Although it is not a long course, it is a good test for the average golfer with some very challenging par 3's. Whispering Willows supplies the area with a driving range, (both artificial mats and grass tees from which to hit) along with a putting and chipping green. Hit the ball straight and it will yield some birdies; hit it crooked and pay dearly.
While at the Willows, be sure to dine in at The Tin Cup Bar & Grill. Enjoy indoor or outdoor patio seating, overlooking the golf course. Full Bar with five TVs, Club Keno, and Live Trivia on Wednesday nights.
