Government to transfer general aviation to Sangley
-A A +ASunday, May 6, 2012
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III revealed on Sunday the government's plan to transfer general aviation operation from Ninoy Airport International Airport (NAIA) to Sangley Point in Cavite.
Aquino said the transfer is one way to ease the problem of runway congestion at NAIA that had been causing flight delays in the past weeks.
"At present, the Department of Transportation and Communications and the Department of National Defense are discussing plans to transfer the so-called general aviation from NAIA to Sangley," he said at the sidelines of the 70th commemoration of the Fall of Corregidor at Corregidor Island.
General aviation refers to all aircraft activity not associated with commercial flights and the military.
Aquino said the transfer will be implemented "within a month or so."
The President, on the other hand, is not amenable to transfer the entire operations of NAIA to Sangley, citing huge cost to government.
"If we will expand Sangley, there will be bigger expenses. We will be needing hundreds of reclamation to have something like NAIA. So it may not be feasible at this point," he said.
Meanwhile, President Aquino also bared plans to improve facilities in Corregidor Island citing its tourism potential.
He said he has instructed the Department of Budget and Management if it can allocate funds for the repair of the port facilities in the island to promote it for local and foreign tourists.
He stressed the need to preserve the area, which was left by war.
The Corregidor Foundation Inc. (CFI) and the Filipino American Memorial Endowment (Fame) organized the observance of the commemorative event in the island.
CFI is a private, non-stock and non-profit foundation mandated to administer and maintain Corregidor and is working under the auspices of the Department of Tourism.
CFI has partnered with Fame, which also has ties with the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines Inc. for the preservation and maintenance of the World War 2 battle monuments and memorials (Bataan Death March Markers Project) in the island.
Corregidor Island was the last line of defense of the American and Filipino forces during World War 2. It was eventually surrendered by the allied forces on May 6, 1942 to the Japanese invaders.
US General Douglas MacArthur retook Corregidor on March 2, 1945, when he liberated the country. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

In the Garden
If you've been looking for the common garden impatiens this year (Impatiens walleriana) with no luck, it's because they've become susceptible to a mysterious new strain of the fungus disease called "Downy mildew." Many nurseries have stopped carrying them.
The first clues of trouble are reduced flowering and premature leaf drop, but you'll know something is amiss when the plants wilt and fall over. A look at the undersides of the leaves will reveal the white down that earned this disease its name. Downy mildew is spread by spores that blow in the wind and can infect plants both nearby as well as those miles away. Since impatiens have been such a mainstay in home and commercial gardens, the disease quickly spread throughout the Pacific Northwest. To add insult to injury, once your impatiens get the disease in your garden, long lived, highly infectious spores survive in the soil, making it practically impossible to replant impatiens again for the next eight to 10 years.
You still can find garden impatiens at a few garden centers, and in theory the disease can be prevented by using fungicidal sprays, but it's harder than it sounds. Sprays must be applied before infection occurs, and at regular intervals all summer long. In addition, this disease rapidly develops resistance to fungicides, so it's necessary to alternate products used.
A better solution might be to try some different shade-loving bedding plants. New Guinea Impatiens is highly resistant to the disease and has showy blossoms that come in a wide variety of lively colors. Tuberous begonias have big, tropical-looking flowers in all sorts of hot colors, and wishbone flower (Torenia fournieri) features brightly colored snapdragonlike blooms that are highly attractive to hummingbirds.
Don't forget to water
Proper watering is the key to a beautiful garden in the Pacific Northwest. Despite our reputation for rain in the Puget Sound region, it's feast or famine when it comes to precipitation. The vast majority of our 36 inches of rainfall occurs in the winter months, while in most summers we suffer drought conditions.
From the start of May until the end of September we average less than 7 inches of liquid sunshine. Compare that to the approximately 20 inches of precipitation that falls during the same period in Wischeescin (where I grew up), and it's apparent why it's necessary to water adequately to keep most plants healthy and attractive.
This is especially important for newly planted trees, shrubs and perennials. New plantings need to be watered as often as necessary to keep the soil evenly moist for at least a few weeks to give plants time to grow a sufficiently deep root system to fend for themselves. Once plants are well established, however, it's better to water them deeply and infrequently. Remember that soil dries from the surface down.
Light, frequent watering doesn't tend to penetrate deeply and keeps only the surface moist, which encourages shallow, less drought-tolerant rooting. Deep, infrequent watering, applied slowly from a soaker or drip system, on the other hand, penetrates much deeper into the soil, fostering deeper rooting and increased ability to withstand drought.
Mulching the soil surface can also help reduce the need to water as often because it keeps the soil cooler, decreasing evaporation. It's a lot of work to mulch the garden, but I suspect you'll think it was worth it when you see the cost savings on your water bill.

Japan likely to return conservative PM
PUBLISHED: 16 Dec 2012 12:48:06 | UPDATED: 16 Dec 2012 12:57:57PRINT EDITION: 16 Dec 2012Voters cast their ballots Sunday in parliamentary elections which are likely to hand power back to a conservative party that ruled Japan for most of the post-war era. Photo: AP
Voters have begun casting ballots in Japan for a general election likely to return long-ruling conservatives to power after three years in the wilderness.
Polling stations opened at 7am local time (9am AEDT) on Sunday across the nation in a lower house election, officials said, with major parties vying for premiership.
The government of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda was predicted to get a drubbing from an electorate that observers said would be handing the reins reluctantly to the Liberal Democratic Party.
Hawkish one-time prime minister Shinzo Abe appeared set for a return to office, after a campaign in which he has sketched out a harder line on foreign policy, as tensions rise with China over disputed islands in the East China Sea.
Mr Abe, whose brief stint as premier in 2006-07 ended ignominiously, has pledged to right Japan's listless economy, which has suffered years of deflation, made worse by a soaring currency that has squeezed exporters.
Broadcasters' exit polls are expected to give a reasonable indication of the final outcome shortly after the ballot boxes are sealed at 8pm local time.

3) Engine Block
The block in the Sprint Cup car splays the cylinders at 90 degrees, just like in the production V8 that might be under your hood. But this block is designed with significant differences. To start with, the race engine is cast with none of the threaded mounting bosses for attaching accessories or vibration-reducing engine mounts.
And the block itself is designed with lightness in mind, at the expense of long-distance durability. Geometrically, the camshaft sits high in the valley of the V to shorten the length of the pushrods and to leave more space around the crankshaft for air to move freely. The camshaft fits into a cast-in tunnel that separates it from the crankcase to prevent oil from dripping off the cam and onto the crankshaft, according to Simon. "We used to have to do that manually, sealing the cam off with sheet metal," he says.
Even the racing block's material is different. Production blocks, formerly cast iron, are now mostly aluminum to save weight. But Nascar mandates that the race engine block still be made with iron. Race-engine builders comply by using the strongest kind of iron they cancompacted graphite iron.
Because weight is more important than longevity, race engines forego stiffness for mass. As a result, these blocks flex and bend under the stress of their work, according to Patrick Baer, supervisor of Dodge Motorsports engine programs. "Race engines suffer much more deformation than production engines," he says. "They violate every set of design rules you have for production engines. A production engine designer would look at a race engine and say that part will never live. But to make something really stiff, you have to add structure, and structure is weight, and weight is not the friend of the race engine."
4) Lubrication System
In your car's engine, extra oil collects in what is essentially a bucket under the crankcase after it drips off the parts it is lubricating. From there, the oil pump pushes it back up through the passages in the block, and it starts working its way back down again. That's fine for your car, but in a racing engine, all that sloshing oil robs the power that Dale Earnhardt Jr. needs to pass Kyle Busch or Jimmie Johnson.
Racing engines use a dry sump system, which catches oil as soon as it reaches the crankcase. Oil is then sucked out of the engine by the externally mounted pump's scavenge stage and sent to an oil tank. Keeping oil in an external tank allows the whirling and reciprocating parts of the crankcase to move through clean air, boosting power by as much as 10 or 20 horsepower, according to David Currier, vice president of engine engineering for Toyota Racing Development. "If there is less oil in there (the crankcase), there is less change of the parts hitting the oil," he observed. Storing oil in an external tank also keep it cool and gives it a chance to separate out the air bubbles, Currier says.
You know that new, low-viscosity 5W-20 oil carmakers are using now to improve fuel economy? It is molasses compared with the 0W-5 oil Nascar teams use to minimize pumping losses and friction. "It gets to be a bit like water," Currier says. And that thin, runny oil lacks the anti-corrosion additives and detergents that oil in street cars needs to last between oil changes, since race cars get new oil for every race.
5) Reciprocating Parts
Here is where we really see the power of money. Production engines live and die by a couple of dollars, while cost is no object for racing engines. (We've heard that one Nascar engine runs about 50 grand.) The pistons, rings and wrist pins in a Cup engine cost about three times the cost of an entire production Hemi V8, reports Baer.
Then consider NASCAR's exotic (and expensive) titanium valves. The expense comes from the complex shape of the race pistons and the precise machining of their surfaces, Baer says. "You can't just knock them out on a lathe," he said. "It takes special equipment to make them."
The same goes for the crankshaft, which is made of an advanced iron alloy. Even race spark plugs are unorthodox and comparatively pricey, Baer adds. "Production spark plugs cost pennies and ours cost dollars," he says.
The Bottom Line: Why Do It?
Racing improves the breed, the old adage goes. But the stark differences between production and racing engines underscore the unsuitability of technology transfer between the two. What racing truly does, then, is help teach engineers to think creatively, unfettered by the usual limits of production programs. "I don't care how hard it is to machine," Baer tells his engineers. "We can do anything so don't let that influence your decision process."
In addition, Baer says, "one of the positive attributes of racing is the feeling of empowerment people get when they realize they are not being constrained by a manufacturing person or a finance person or a procurement person." So when racing engineers return to work on production programs later, they are in the habit of thinking creatively and unconventionally, he says, which can help produce new solutions even within production constraints.

What is Sensitivity Analysis?
Sensitivity Analysis (SA) is the study of how the variation in the output of a model (numerical or otherwise) can be apportioned, qualitatively or quantitatively, to different sources of variation.
Why do I need Sensitivity Analysis?
A mathematical model is defined by a series of equations, input factors, parameters, and variables aimed to characterize the process being investigated. Input is subject to many sources of uncertainty including errors of measurement, absence of information and poor or partial understanding of the driving forces and mechanisms. This imposes a limit on our confidence in the response or output of the model. Further, models may have to cope with the natural intrinsic variability of the system, such as the occurrence of stochastic events. Good modeling practice requires that the modeler provides an evaluation of the confidence in the model, possibly assessing the uncertainties associated with the modeling process and with the outcome of the model itself. Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis offer valid tools for characterizing the uncertainty associated with a model.
What are the reasons to conduct Sensitivity Analysis?
Modelers may conduct SA to determine
- the model resemblance with the process under study,
- the quality of model definition,
- factors that mostly contribute to the output variability,
- the region in the space of input factors for which the model variation is maximum,
- optimal regions within the space of factors for use in a subsequent calibration study,
- interactions between factors.
What is difference between Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis?
Although closely related, Uncertainty Analysis and Sensitivity Analysis are two different disciplines. Uncertainty Analysis assesses the uncertainty in model outputs that derives from uncertainty in inputs. Sensitivity Analysis assesses the contributions of the inputs to the total uncertainty in analysis outcomes
What are the general steps needed to perform Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis?
There are several possible procedures to perform uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. The most common sensitivity analysis is sampling-based. A sampling-based sensitivity is one in which the model is executed repeatedly for combinations of values sampled from the distribution (assumed known) of the input factors. In general, UA and SA are performed jointly by executing the model repeatedly for combination of factor values sampled with some probability distribution. The following steps can be listed:
- specify the target function and select the input of interest
- assign a distribution function to the selected factors
- generate a matrix of inputs with that distribution(s) through an appropriate design
- evaluate the model and compute the distribution of the target function
- select a method for assessing the influence or relative importance of each input factor on the target function.
Which is the best method to perform SA on my model?
The choice of which SA method to adopt is difficult as each technique has strengths and weaknesses. Such a choice depends on the problem the investigator is trying to address, on the characteristics of the model under study, and also on the computational cost that the investigator can afford.
What can I do if my model has a large number of inputs?
You should start by performing a screening exercise. This is a preliminary analysis that allows you to select the subset of the most potentially explanatory factors. Afterwards, a quantitative method is recommended on the subset of pre-selected inputs.
How should I choose input distributions for the model inputs?
Sensitivity analysis is not concerned with the choice of the distributions followed by the model inputs. These distributions have to be derived from available sources of information, such as expert opinions or literature. Results of the sensitivity analysis exercise are conditional upon the distributions chosen.
How can I treat multiple model output (such as time series)?
The objective function of a sensitivity analysis exercise is assumed to be a scalar function. When the model has several output variables, the analysis has to be repeated several times, one for each output variable.

Shanesha Emmons,(center) is sworn in as a Gary Police officer during a ceremony before friends and famiy at the Gary City Hall February 19, 2008. | File Photo~Sun-Times Media
Updated: June 1, 2013 6:26AM
GARY--At 5 a.m. Saturday morning, Patrolman Shanesha Emmons was off duty when she barged into her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's home and the women began to argue, a police report states.
The argument continued for several minutes, with the man in question, a Gary officer hired with Emmons in March, 2008, keeping the women separate.
Chief Wade Ingram said Monday he did not plan to transfer Emmons from her assignment on the Crime Suppression Unit while the department's Internal Affairs Division investigates the matter. Gary police are also investigating the woman's complaint, but the 32-year-old woman may also take her matter to Lake County police for assistance, sources said.
Although the matter is classified as a disturbance involving harassment and trespassing, police said the victim was treated for injuries incurred during the incident. Ingram described it as a "domestic matter."
Emmons was not arrested. Ingram said "Nothing really jumped out at me too much," Ingram said after reading the report. "She (Emmons) hasn't been charged with a crime. There's nothing too egregious."
Emmons arrived at the woman's home in the 2800 block of Van Buren Street and the male officer met her at the door. Emmons and the victim began shouting and swearing, then "started swinging at each other," forcing the man to step between them. He eventually convinced Emmons to leave the house.
But then from the curb, Emmons called the woman names and they "started to go after each other again," forcing the male officer to intercede again, the report states.
Emmons left, but returned again and stepped onto the victim's property. "After a little bit of back and forth arguing, Emmons got back in her car," the report states. A relative of the woman arrived and "Emmons spun her car around and got out of her car. She again went onto the property" and resumed the argument, the report states.
Although the victim told police she wanted Emmons off her property, Emmons pointed to the sidewalk and said she was on public land, the report states.
The victim did not immediately return messages left at her home from the Post-Tribune seeking comment on the incident.

The Poltergeist Prince of London discussion
Battersea, 1956: A poltergeist outbreak is fantastical enough, but a poltergeist that learns to communicate details of an apparent previous life? And a life that begins to sound like that of the Lost Dauphin of Revolutionary France? Studying the poltergeist's claims researcher Harold Chibbett was forced to wonder: could 'Donald' really be the spirit of the Louis-Charles, tragic son of Marie Antoinette?
Shirley Hitchings, the epicentre of these events and co-author of 'The Poltergeist Prince of London', discusses her experiences with Alan Murdie, chair of the SPR's Spontaneous Cases Committee, Chairman of the Ghost Club and regular Fortean Times writer on ghosts.
The event takes place at The Bell, 50 Middlesex Street, London E1, on Thursday 24 April at 7.45. There is a Facebook page for the book which includes details:

Parental guidance is advised + Champagne Oolong
I was recently featured in a small publication that highlighted some projects I'm working on for my 9-to-5. A co-worker jokingly asked me if I'd gotten a stack of the magazine to send to my parents. "Nah," I replied, and left it that, not sure how to articulate why I hadn't bothered to do so. My parents would have been proud. I guess.
They didn't heap parental praise upon my me and my siblings for good grades, sports, and the like. No, my parents don't give out pats on the back for doing what you should be doing (in their opinion) anyway. I get it now, and I think I sorta got it growing up, but that didn't stop me, even when I matriculated into the real world and set out to carve a place in my profession, from trying to squeeze a "well done" from their tight grips. I strived not for personal accomplishment, but for my parents' approval. Not that it wasn't there, but d@mn if it wouldn't have been good to hear from time to time.
Somewhere along the way I gave up. Gave up hoping to hear it. Gave up sending snippets about promotions and other good news. Nonetheless, I kept busy, worked hard and held myself to their standards.
Then a funny thing happened last weekend whilst home visiting my parents.
I was describing a side-hustle I'm contemplating to my sister and brother-in-law. I shared market research I'd uncovered, ideas for promotion and a rough timeline for development. Daddy was in earshot of the conversation, but provided no input, choosing to read the newspaper instead. The next morning at breakfast, Daddy sat down beside me at the table. Without so much as a "good morning" he deadpanned,
"That business idea you were describing yesterday is interesting. You sound like you actually know what you're talking about."
Some might call that a back-handed compliment, but those words absolutely made my day. Throughout the rest of the trip, I re-wound those two sentences over and over like an old school cassette tape. Then I uploaded them to my mental iCloud so that I could retrieve them at will.
These days there is no one whose approval I work harder for than my own. But I'm still a sucker for a back-handed pat on the back from my Daddy.
Here's to finally growing up, but not really. Cheers!

- 2 tablespoons of oolong tea; full bodied, healthy and with a mildly smooth aftertaste. Highly recommended to those that enjoy the health benefits of green tea but have a hard time with its lingering, semi bitter taste.
- chilled Brut champagne; dry, but sweet.
- Steep tea in 2 cups of cold water for 6 hours.
- Strain and refrigerate, covered, 1 hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, half-fill champagne glasses with the tea, topping them off with champagne.
Whose approval means the most to you?

Hi All, I just acquired sixteen 12v deep cell batteries. They were from a computer center and designed for back-up power. They were wired to a Uninterrupted Power Supply(UPS).If commercial power was lost to the server, the UPS would automatically switch over to battery power. The batteries are about 2 years old and have had constant trickle charge on them. My question is how can I keep these charged for 4-5 months until I can build a solar panel system. I have a small car charger, will that work? I assume I don't want these to sit dormant for that long without having a constant trickle on them. BTW can anyone point me in the right direction for designing a solar/wind power setup? There is so much info out there I don't know where to begin. Thanks, Mike |

Use your car charger to charge one battery at a time. |

The first one is a 5-6 year old bush which is around 4 feet tall. The red flowers later take on a reddish pink hue. There is a slight rose scent initially which disappears later on. The leaves are not glossy. Flowers are sometimes in clusters of 3-4. The second one is a 2 year old bush which is around 2.5 feet tall. Flowers are a deep red and larger then the first one. The blooms maintain form longer. The leaves are quiet glossy. There is no scent. This one was a bareroot from a box store and was labelled (Uncle Joe / Torro). TIA,

I have an idea of what I want to serve at my housewarming party in August, but a few people will be attending that do not drink alcohol for religious reasons. Is there an alternative to wine that I can serve them that will go with cheese?
Thank you,
Follow-Up Postings:
I do not drink any wine, for religious reasons, and I enjoy Martinelli's Sparkling Ciders. Which I enjoy, in place of alcohol, for occasions where I would normally drink wine, like cheese and crackers. They have apple, apple-cranberry, apple-raspberry, apple-grape. I prefer Martinelli's's to other brands because it does not taste like alcohol, and some do, even though they do not contain alcohol. You should be able to find it at your local grocery store. Costco also carries it. Bellow is also a link to their website. You can order it online and they also have a "store locator" to find a store close to you that does carry it. Hope this helps. |

Why not have a punch made with half sparkling white grape juice and half Sprite? It can be served in a wine glass, and poured from a glass pitcher rather than ladled from a punchbowl. (Have the punch well-chilled.) |
- Posted by jasper_austin (My Page) on Tue, Jul 30, 02 at 12:30
I would prefer a chilled sparkling water myself. |
I'd go with sparkling grape juice and/or water. Keep it simpler on yourself while offering an alternative. |
I'd get martinelli's as well as unsweetened sparkling water (can still be flavored). Some people also like bottled tonic water. Some might just want soda. |
I find those artifical wines too sweet. I would prefer sparkling water. |

MsMagnolia, I had some ladies over Sat. for a get together and I served your punch made with half sparkling white grape juice and half Sprite. It went over VERY well! The ladies LOVED it and wanted to know what it was. Only thing when I went to Walmart for the white grape juice they didn't have it. They only had the red so I went ahead and got it. It was kind of strong so I just kept adding the sprite PLUS some ginger ale that I already had until I liked the taste. I served it in our wine glasses and it was a total hit! I chilled it really well like you said to do also. Thanx for that idea!!! It made my dinner sooo much more special!! |

this might sound weird, but you could use beer instead. A lot of people actually like this. Here's a forum discussion all about it - http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/2161348 |
Here is a link that might be useful: Also, if you need gourmet cheese, here's a place.

Long known as the Travelin' Hunter, Tony comes to this title honestly, averaging 15,000 miles in the spring and fall in search of big game. Traveling to hunt is his passion, and has been his way of life for over the 20 years.
Tony's career has included numerous professional associations with some of the most respected companies in the outdoor industry. He has also been a mainstay on both TV and various entertainment and educational video productions such as the safety and instructional DVD's included with every Knight Rifle sold during the Iowa Company's final 6 years.
In addition to his hosting responsibilities, Tony has also been the commercial spokesperson for several products that he used and trusted throughout his hunting career to date.
Commercial endorsements were created for Barnes Bullets, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and The National Wild Turkey Federation, and is the public face for bear hunting for Newfoundland Tourism. He has also completed many commercial spots for his sponsors throughout the years.
Tony is also the spokesperson for the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Foundation as well as a member of its Board of Directors. Tony is a National Pro Staff member and makes regular public engagements for Realtree, Scent Lok, CVA, Bergara Barrels, Bushnell, Power Belt Bullets, Durasight, and Quake Industries.
Along with all of his other duties, Tony is also considered a notable land management and real estate expert, currently working with LandGuys in west central Illinois.
Land management has played a large part in Tony's career as he also owns a land maintenance company in his home state of Tennessee where he strives to create a better natural environment for the benefit of both the land owner and the critters that inhabit the ground.
The proof of his dedication to the environment can be seen in his commitment to his own personal land holdings in both Illinois and Tennessee which consistently yield trophy animals. Video and television isn't Tony's only venue however.
He has been an award winning outdoor writer for over 20 years as well as the owner and editor of his home state's largest outdoor publication, Tennessee Outdoor News, for the last 10 years.
Tony is often contacted to be quoted as an expert on various editorial pieces by others in the outdoor writing community. He has also been awarded the highly coveted title of "Tennessee Outdoor Communicator of the Year" by the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
Tony is a much sought after public speaker, offering regular seminars, workshops, and motivational speaking engagements each year through out Tennessee and the south.
As anyone who has ever met him can attest, Tony is also the author of untold numbers of southern witticisms, and if you don't believe that, he will quickly tell you it is the truth just like 40lbs of dough makes a big biscuit.

Unknown Cycladic, 2600 - 2500 B.C. Marble and pigment 9 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 in. 96.AA.27
With their starkly elegant and simplified rendering of the human form, Cycladic sculptures often strike viewers as quite modern. This head preserves some of the original effect of these figures, on which facial features, hair, and occasionally jewelry were added in paint. Short vertical lines on the forehead, a stripe on the nose, and bands of dots on the cheeks and chin--all added in red and black pigment--may be cosmetic lines or tattooing. While most of these sculptures were under a foot tall, this head was from one of the rare examples that were approximately life-size. Most Cycladic figures are found in graves, and they may have had some religious function connected with the afterlife.

I have been single for 21 years and i'm getting used to it I live in the country with my dogs and raise goats and enjoylife although i do get lonely sometimes like in the fall time.I live on a hill with lots of beutiful scenery [tennessee]thats enough to cheer up any body up in there right mind. well enough said. hope to hear from or read about other singles'just curious |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, I am new here, but now that I am posting, you can add one more single to your list. Sounds like you have a lovely spot in the Tennessee hills there. I live in a semi-rural area. I guess it would actually be considered rural by some standards, but it seems like there are a lot of people for it to be truly rural. I like the fall of the year. That is when the earth is getting ready for her rest through the winter so she can give birth to new life come Spring. Heck, I even like the wintertime, too. Of course it does not get so very cold in mid SC, hardly ever snows any. |
- Posted by quirkyquercus (My Page) on Wed, Nov 8, 06 at 20:33
Probably because there aren't too many single people left in the world. They're an endangered species from mounting pressure from meddling parents desirous of grandbrats. |
I am not single, I am in limbo. I married at 18 and have been married 48 years and if I am ever single, I will stay that way. I have never been on my own and am enjoying it. I would love to have my husband heathy and at home, that won't happen so I have to make the best of a bad situation. |

Hi, I'm brand new here. I have never married.(I'm 43) I doubt I'll ever find anyone to marry. The older I get, the harder it is finding single women without huge amounts of baggage. I enjoy being single(sure, I dream that someday I'll find someone), but I've grown accustomed to doing things alone....movies, gym workouts, dining out, walks in nature with my dogs. I'm just now starting to cook for myself. I used to live off sandwiches and fast food. I have just gotten into crock pot meals. I've read some interesting topics so far. I hope to become a familiar name around here. |
Hello everyone, I am fairly new to this forum. I am widowed for five years now, so I guess that makes me single too. I'm turning 60 next week. I've grown accustomed to living alone and being alone. For the first time in my life, I'm not so and so's daughter or so and so's wife or mother or or or... It took a long while for me to find out who I am and I kinda like me. My life may seem boring to younger folks but I'm so dog gone busy all the time, it makes me wonder how did I ever keep up in the past. Of course, I'm only as busy as I choose to be. Choices. I make all of most of my own choices now. I have a small apartment and it's done up kind of girly. Not really, but it screams me me me.. but that's okay. I happen to be the one living here. I cook if I want to and just graze if I don't feel like cooking.. Living single really isn't so bad.. Linda |
- Posted by timelessrogue (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 07 at 14:38
Hmmm ... yes, there seems to be a preponderance of marrieds though ... kinda was under the impression that this is a singles forum but have noticed that there are a LOT of married folks posting either new or follow-up posts. So what's my point, if any? Well, I s'pose it would be why would I want to sift through all the threads/posts to find an interesting post from a single? Answer: I wouldn't ... so I don't ... |
I posted above about being in limbo, I am now officially single. My husband passed away in April. He had alzheimer's and I looked after him for 4 years. |
I'm so sorry Jonesy about your loss. Four years can be horrific. I remember in the months following the death of my husband that I would tell myself, 'these days too will pass' I know it sounds trite but it is true. Linda |
I'm another one of those single, never married ones. I just turned 44 - gosh that seems old. I've come to the realization that I will never have children and would just like someone to share my life with. Right now, it's just me and Callie. Barbara |

Mimi, Michael is single and near your age - you two need to explore possibilities! |
I'm new on here also, but have have an idea. I live in zone 8 and we have the club called The Sierra Club in CA. You get to have spin-offs like birding, bikeing, water sports etc, for a small fee each year. I also belong to a "road crew" bunch of people in our local club because we get out and pick up trash to help with the "beauty" of the county. I live in the country in No. CA, and I like to see the HWY cleaned up. Yes we have one HWY in the county, it runs for 7 miles...the rest are 2 lane roads. There is a singles meeting in our local chapter but have never been to that. Best of luck. Carol |
the best decision I made recently was to purchase a home in a patio development. 95% seniors living here and over 50% of those are women. Lots of friends and most of the women smile and welcome you when someone knocks on their door. I lunch out 4 or 5 times a week, we shop after we lunch, weds we go to a neighboring town to take advantage of Goody's senior day. I haven't had friends like these since high school. |

I love playing with cards. But I'm not so good yet. I would like to get some basic learnings so i found theory11, i don't feel like buying so can anybody tell me where i can download all those videos for free? Not just the FOUNDATIONS by Jason England but the other videos on that site.

MemberMan you got to buy the DVDs, everything in life isn't free mabye time to learn that.
Jason has really put a lot of hard work into this DVD so even if you just started out you should buy it, you will learn a lot if you put time into it.
But don't ask for free stuff when people really put the heart into teaching us good tricks in good quality. - #4

I don't need to repeat anything that was said above, but if you are just getting into magic and you want a "free" starting point, I would suggest checking out some magic books from your local library. If you find you are still interested after reading through those books, then you can start looking at specific products that appeal to you ... and then you can BUY them.

I would just like to point out that downloading things for free is illegal. You are actually stealing something that is being sold. Jason England put LOTS of work towards his work and some magicians actually make a living selling dvds, that is how they put food on the table. So please, respect the artists that create dvds and downloads and buy it! Trust me, you won't regret it!www.youtube.com/james1wise

Good luck. - #9
I hope you don't feel too bad for the comments (maybe just a little). Perhaps you didn't realise what site you were posting to...
Anyway, there are plenty of people who post tutorials for free on sites like youtube, but Theory11 is where you come to learn quality magic from master magicians. Foundations (1 & 2) by Jason England are extremely well priced given their brilliant content.
And look on the bright side, you managed to get a comment from the man himself on your first ever post!
Anyway, like others have said, play around with the free stuff on youtube and other sites, then if you find that you are still keen and want to learn more, come back and consider how much you are willing to spend on learning an art.

obviously this is a joke (bad humor BTW)...so just ignore him..and wait for a moderator to close this thread...and ban this guy...

The addition of a two-door coupe to the C-class lineup has given AMG the opportunity to expand the family of its popular C63 AMG model. Currently offered as a sedan and (in Europe) a wagon, the C63 adds a coupe variant for the 2012 model year. Mechanically, the coupe and sedan are identical, with one significant upgrade coming to both for 2012. The two-door is the same size as its four-door sibling, but its lower body, more intimate cabin, and sportier styling make it a racier distillation of the C63 formula.
Familiar motivator
The C63 coupe's 6.2-liter V-8 is an engine that we know (and love) from the C63 sedan-and elsewhere in the AMG line-up. What do we love about it? The deep rumble on start-up, its quick bark during full-throttle upshifts, the roar as it passes by at full gallop, and of course the tremendous response, which is both linear and lag-free. But the big V-8 actually is on its way out; it has already been replaced by a smaller, 5.5-liter bi-turbo V-8 in the CL63 and the S63, the blown 5.5 powers the new CLS63 AMG, and for 2012 it steps in for the 6.2-liter in the E63 as well. Why not use it here? The answer, from AMG's head of product development Tobias Moers, is that the 5.5-liter biturbo makes more torque than the smaller C-class chassis can handle (516 pound-feet in the E63).
The naturally aspirated 6.2-liter's output is lower, although it's still considerable: 451 hp at 6500 rpm and 443 pound-feet at 5000 rpm. That's the same as in the C63 sedan. Ordering the AMG development package increases horsepower to 481 hp, thanks for a revised camshaft, lightweight pistons and connecting rods, and a reprogrammed ECU. The extra oomph shaves the 0-60 time by a fraction, from 4.4 to 4.3 seconds. More importantly, the development package provides increased bragging rights, in the form of a top speed raised to 174 mph, from 155 mph. Little wonder, that our C63 coupe test cars were so equipped.

The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2009-2010, an assessment of the productive potential of nations worldwide, is now available. Switzerland tops the overall competitiveness rankings, followed by the United States. The U.S. fell to second position after several years at the top of the rankings. Singapore, Sweden and Denmark complete the list of the top five countries.
The World Economic Forum defines competitiveness as the set of institutions, policies, and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country. Competitiveness is a complex phenomenon, resting on twelve interrelated pillars:1. Institutions2. Infrastructure3. Macroeconomic stability4. Health and primary education5. Higher education and training6. Goods market efficiency7. Labor market efficiency8. Financial market sophistication9. Technological readiness10. Market size11. Business sophistication12. InnovationIs the United States losing its competitive edge? Its competitiveness score fell from 5.74 in 2008 to 5.59 this year. The country's strengths in the technological and market efficiency areas explain the country's overall high rank (the U.S. ranks 1st in the innovation pillar and other competitive indicators). Yet, according to the report, "a number of weaknesses particularly related to public and private institutions, as well as continuing burgeoning macroeconomic imbalances, have somewhat eroded the country's overall competitiveness potential over the past years." Since 2005, the World Economic Forum has based its competitiveness analysis on the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), a comprehensive index, which captures the microeconomic and macroeconomic foundations of national competitiveness. Data sources include both publicly available data and the Executive Opinion Survey, an annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum together with its network of research institutes and business organizations in the 133 countries covered in the report. The report contains a detailed profile for each of these economies as well as data tables with global rankings covering over 100 indicators.
The authors of the report call for "not losing sight of long-term competitiveness fundamentals amid short-term urgencies."
You can access the report and rankings, and view interviews with the reports' co-authors, here.

Photo Challenge for DecemberDecember brings with it a large number of photo opportunities. Many scrapbook websites may suggest this month to create a special album (or mini album) with some of those photos. It can be a lot of fun to really document this month in photos. Heres one way to create a Christmas or December photo album. Make it a challenge to take a photo each day and write down a little blurb about the photo or about what happened that day. Keep it all in a notebook to complete the album in January or work on it each day, maybe catch up for the whole week on one day. Here are some photo ideas, just check them off as they are completed. They do not have to be completed in any specific order. 1.Each child think about this, if the project is done each year, each child has a growth photo! 2.Decorating the house (outside) 3.Decorating the house (inside) 4.Decorating the tree 5.Wrapping gifts 6.Buying gifts just watch out putting them on Facebook! 7.Family dressed up 8.Special ornament 9.Traditions 10.Baking cookies show off the types of cookies or how many made 11.Take a photo at church 12.Make sure to have someone take a photo of the person taking the photos! 13.How about some party photos? (Maybe get some Flip Flaps if they are really bad and make them more hidden.) 14.If this is the time of year that family comes out of the woodwork? Make sure to get a photo. 15.Weather 16.Making snow angels or snow ball fight 17.Take a photo of the dog(s) outside in the snow 18.Take a photo of the cat(s) looking at the tree or sleeping under it or tipping it over (if thats what they do.) 19.The presents under the tree 20.A New Years Eve photo 21.How about a photo showing what gifts are being returned? 22.The family Christmas card 23.A family photo 24.Document a family or holiday outing, like seeing Christmas lights or going out for cider 25.Someone under the mistletoe 26.The stockings 27.Food 28.Take a photo in a Santa Hat (or some other festive garment) 29.Add photos of the children with Santa 30.Photos of it snowing 31.Its not ALL about Christmas, December is filled with regular crazy days too take a photo that shows that off! Have fun with the whole project! If it is too busy one day, allow for that. Take a few photos on another day and use them to fill in. Maybe take a photo or two of the lights or decorations that can be put on the layout, then just add a story about the day or a quote from a Christmas story or song. (If the celebration is minimal or a different holiday altogether, thats ok too, just make a slight adjustment to the suggestion or take more photos of what the days actually look like!)

There were six new Hoya species named in the winter addition of the International Hoya Association publication. Most of the species in question exist in collections already but have been published as separate and distinct species.
Hoya paulshirleyi T.Green & D.Kloppenburg was named after Paul Shirley who collected this Hoya while in Sulawesi. This species was referred to as Hoya sp GPS 8844 while in Mr. Shirley's collection but it now has a proper name. This Hoya resembles Hoya tomataensis. Hoya krohniana Kloppenburg & Siar sp. nov.
Hoya panayensis Kloppenburg & Siar 2010
Hoya fitchii Kloppenburg closley resembles Hoya cagayanensis but shows differences in flower and pollinium measurements. This species was named after the collector Charles Marsden Fitch and Hoya fitchii now takes precidence over the old catalog number Hoya CMF-8. Hoya savaiiensis Kloppenburg
Hoya smithii Kloppenburg
These Hoyas were just recently published and some of the changes may be disputed. The most common species that some of us will have are Hoya paulshirleyii and Hoya fitchii and the new Otostemma section plant Hoya krohniana. Mike |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mike...thanks for the information...that issue of Fraterna was the most confusing one yet...I simply skimmed it, thinking all of the time "I'm not going to renew my subscription"...so many new names and old names that they've replaced. You, at least, made it more understandable...thanks!! Fondly, Patrick |
Patrick the reclassification of plants is always something that hobbyists regard with suspicion. Scientists and taxonomists need to keep busy somehow. LOL I am not really a fan of Fraterna either but having the hard copy of newly published species is definitely a plus. Mike |
Mike, thanks for taking the time to post the info. Just what we needed...6 more hoyas,lol... |
- Posted by ladygreensleeves 10(Fla) (My Page) on Thu, Jan 21, 10 at 14:48
Mike, Is this to say that the Hoya that we have been calling CMF-8 is now named Hoya fitchii? Thanks for the information. |
Ladygreensleves you are right that Hoya now has a properly published name vs Mr. Fitch's collection ID of CMF #8. Mike |
Mike was there a picture of the krohniana? I am thinking that this one is the heart shaped lacunosa alot of us have and Dale named this after Cindy Krohn who sent him a piece off her plant. He told her he would name it after her,,,guess he kept his word! She used to be active in the Hoya forum several years ago. I forget now what her ID was. I bet some of the forum oldsters would remember her. How exciting!,,,Debbie |
Debbie you are right in that the leaves of that species are heart shaped but I was unaware of the rest of the details you mentioned. The only photo I have seen is in the latest issue of Fraterna and because it is a newly published name you will not find it elsewhere for a while. How exciting it would be to have a Hoya named after yourself. Mike |
I called Cindy Krohn and asked if she was aware Kloppenburg had published the Hoya and she was. Her ID was CaliCat when she was active here in GW in this forum. She was an active poster and trader. I have a pot full of Hoya krohniana and have for about 7 yrs. now. It's cute as it can be. Cindy picked it up at a little greenhouse and it was half dead. I think it was 2.50 she paid for the pot. She nursed it back to health but wondered which Hoya it could be. She showed it around but no one not even the experts had seen it before. It is such a cutie most thought it should get a proper name. Kloppenburg told Cindy he would get the job done. The rest is history. It's been spread across the world now through the years. It was known as heart leaf lacunosa. If you check Swedish lists many have it listed.,,,Debbie |

According to the Wrestling Observer, TNA Hall of Famer Sting (Steve Borden) has "sent out feelers" to WWE.
The report comes at an interesting time, as WWE drew attention to Sting's career in NWA/WCW as part of a series of vignettes on past World Hvt. champions on last Monday's Raw.
In the event that Sting does join WWE, the thinking behind the vignettes was to position Sting - who casual WWE viewers may not be aware of - at the level of past big-name, WWE champions that casual viewers are aware of.
Sting is now operating on a year-by-year contract with TNA Wrestling, with his current contract coming due at the end of the year, which will lead to Sting making the annual decision of whether to renew, retire, or go to WWE for the first time in his career.
"I do an annual contract every year and the rumors start right around January," Sting told VOC Nation Radio in an interview one month ago. "The year that they did the vignette (for Undertaker), I had nothing to do with it and I had no conversations with the WWE at that time. Shortly afterward there were conversations (with WWE) just by happenstance but nothing official."
With WWE owning the vast majority of Sting's career through their 2001 acquisition of the WCW tape library, WWE would be able to link the past to the present to introduce Sting to their general audience, should he come to WWE.
"I've always wanted to wrestle Undertaker; I've said that for years," Sting told VOC Nation. "And who would not want to work WrestleMania?"
It should be noted that Sting turns 55 years old on March 20 - just two weeks before WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.

Self EsteemLife Issues
In order to develop the five emotional intelligence skill domains, you'll need to become skillful at the following tasks:
Noticing Emotion
By their nature, emotions are consuming. During the moment, it is very easy to simply remain embedded inside them and not quite recognize that they are occurring. In an emotionally embedded state, it is as though you are asleep, or helpless to act differently than the emotion wants you to act. You might find yourself doing things you will later regret doing while in such a state.
As self-awareness grows, you become able to notice emotion as it is occurring. Noticing emotion allows you to step back from it, and witness it as though it were happening to someone else. Noticing emotion separates you from that emotion, and therefore provides you with the space you need to recognize that the emotion is happening, and to form judgments as to whether your actions in response to the emotion are proper. A self-aware person is awake and responsible rather than asleep. They are conscious of what they are feeling and can use their understanding of their emotion to change how they act.
In order to notice emotion while it is happening, you must pay attention to the following:

Is there a back issue of the AVSA magazine that explains sports? Is it something I should write them and request they do an article about?
I know a sport is a plant that grows different than the named variety. I have two little optimara I rescued from walmart, one was purple after a couple of bloom turns it sends up a stalk with purple and white stripes (not uniform stripes but every petal has some varring white stripe and other stalks are purple. Is there a chance this plant is going to keep blooming like this with two kinds of bloom? If it is sporting, what does that mean will happen to the plant, will it become a sport? I was told to take the bloomstalk with the stripes and try and root it and the plant should be striped like that..right now it has no leaves so I don't think it will root right? I'm waiting for leaves to form and enjoying the pretty bloom as long as I can. Then there is the other resuce that has purple stalks and also pink stalks. I'd like it to keep blooming that way, but will it go one way or the other? It's too cute to stay the way it is...thats murphys law. So is the first plant a sport, is it sporting and if it changes to the stripes will it be a sport? If I get the bloom stem to grow and get the stripes, will it be a sport of the parent? If you have leaves from a known sport, can you take leaves from it and grow the same sport or will leaves be the former plant color? Can you do something that will make a plant sport, this purple stripe was near a white opt, but only seeds would pollinate, that wouldn't effect the bloom right? The more I think about it, the more confused I get. I have other questions, but they just arent' coming to mind right now. Any help for me? Thanks, tish |

Hi Tish, You certainly have a lot of questions about sports and I am not sure if I am qualified to answer them for you, but hopefully somewhere in this message there will be at least one thing that will help you. First of all a sport is a mutant. They pop up frequently in unstable plants and usually the plant keeps on sporting. There is no way of telling if and when it will stop. You can try putting down a leaf and see if that matches the sport. If the bloom is a striiped or pinwheel blossom it may be a chimera which will not propagate the same way from a leaf, only from a sucker. Still if you put down a leaf and it remains true to the sport, then take a leaf from that plant and put it down too. If the plant remains true after 3 generations it will be stable, hopefully. As for the plant with the two different blooms on it, more than likely it will change to one color and in my case the color I didn't care for. It's a crap shoot. Chimeras will need to be propagater from suckers or they will revert to something else. Fred in NJ |
Thanks fred, that helped some. So I've been interested in getting some chimera, keep losing the ones I really want on ebay cause I can't pay that much. But some growers/sellers state their chimera plant was grown from a bloom stalk...does that make that particular plant more likely to revert to something else because they didn't use a sucker? I wouldn't want to pay a chimera price for a plant that might become a regular violet, you know? Thanks, tish. |
My understanding, albeit limited, is that bloom stalks or suckers will propagate true. I don't think one is less likely to revert or sport than the other. I didn't even know you could propagate from a bloom stalk until a couple of weeks ago. This board is great for learning :) I planted a leaf of Sora Pink Clouds (chimera) just to see what I get. |

HI again, Bloomstalks do not neccesarily bloom true. I have planted a number of chimera bloomstalks of The Alps and still haven't grown a plant that has the stripe. Fred in NJ |
