The Apex lighter
Michael Moretti
Posted: October 21, 2002
Powerful things come in small packages with the new Apex lighter from Prometheus International Inc. Only 3.2 inches long, an inch wide and a half-inch across, this slimmed-down lighter easily fits into the palm of your hand or jacket pocket and won't weigh you down.
With a smooth click of the button, the top of the lighter retracts to the hissing blast of a blue butane "jet turbo laser" flame worthy of Luke Skywalker's light saber. The flame is wind-resistant -- strong enough to fight off a strong gust while you're out enjoying your smoke on the golf course.
The polished metal construction comes in nickel, gun metal or chrome and is equipped with a fuel monitoring window, giving the lighter an attractive look. It retails for $59.95, and can be purchased at most fine tobacco and accessory stores.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Pudgie!
Facts about Pudgie
- Breed: Pug/Beagle Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Pudgie
Pudgie's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
I am a male Puggle. I am about 3 years old. I am neutered, heartworm negative, current on shots and micro-chipped.
My adoption is $200.
I was rescued from animal control where I was impounded as a stray. I am a great and friendly dog. However, you need to be careful because I might dart out the door. I am just a happy boy and get a bit excited!
Please email for an application. A New Beginning Pet Rescue, Inc. only accepts cash. We do not have the ability to accept credit or debit cards and no longer accept checks. The pets are available to be seen at our adoption events on weekends at the Petsmart in Altamonte Springs on Saturday from 11-5 and Sunday from 12-5.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pudgie, a Orlando Pug/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug/Beagle for sale in Orlando, or seeking a Pug/Beagle dog from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Pug/Beagle breeders who help with Pug/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

Peptide Electrophoretic Patterns of Cucumoviruses
Ahmad, Ismail and Scott, Howard A. (1986) Peptide Electrophoretic Patterns of Cucumoviruses. Pertanika . pp. 305-309.
2946Kb |
The peptide electrophoretic patterns of several cucumovirus isolates were compared using 15% polyacrylamide slab-gels. Both Staphylococcus aureus VB protease and a.-chymotrypsin partially digested the protein subunits of these virllies into peptides which produced different patterns when electrophoresed though the gels. Major differences were observed among peptide electrophoretic patterns of cucumber mosaic, peanut stunt and tomato aspermy viruses. Differences, if they do exist, among strains of the same virus were either in apparent or minor.

We've just released what is hopefully the last Beta version of iDefrag 2. We hope to release the new version very soon.
Anybody who purchased iDefrag recently or purchases between now and when we release it, will get a free upgrade.
If you want to try it, get it here (8.7 MB).
As with the previous Beta versions, free stuff to anyone who reports problems we don't know about.1 Many thanks to those of you who have reported problems with the earlier versions.
Release notes can be found on our feed which is different to our iDefrag 1 feed so please subscribe to that feed to stay on top of iDefrag 2 releases. Note that the link above will only work in a browser that supports ATOM feeds, such as Safari.
Please remember that even though this is a fairly mature beta version, this is still pre-release software, so please back up first, just in case something goes wrong.
Please send comments about this release to our support team.
We'll be reasonable about the free upgrades and free licenses, but we reserve the right to rescind the offer at any time, and we also reserve the right to determine what is or is not a bug. Basically, if you help us, we'll give you the free stuff, but if hundreds all report the same bug, some will end up being disappointed. Our decision is final.

The McDougal Student Life Fellows and their staff advisors plan a variety of programs throughout the year in the general areas of interest listed below. Most events are free or discounted and welcome graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and their families. Specific details for many of the events are listed on the Student Life calendars and are e-mailed directly each week to all students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Students in other Yale graduate and professional schools, postdoctoral fellows and family members may subscribe to the Student Life Notes. Students with ideas, suggestions or questions about becoming involved in any of these activities should contact the McDougal Student Life Fellows.
The Arts and Culture Fellows at the McDougal Center connect students with the diverse visual, theater, literary and performing arts offerings at Yale and in the greater New Haven area. The Fellows organize numerous "Grad Nights" each year at art galleries on campus and around New Haven; the city's annual "Open Studios" event; the Yale Repertory, Yale Cabaret, Schubert and Long Wharf theatres; the Yale, Metropolitan and New York City opera companies; the University's Beinecke Library and Collection of Musical Instruments; local cinemas; and Yale School of Music and Philharmonia concerts. Grad Nights typically involve special tours and talks, discounted admission fees and receptions exclusively for Yale graduate students. To encourage artistic creation and highlight the talents of graduate students at Yale, the Fellows also organize "Common Room Concerts" and the "Talent Tuesday" performance series; promote poetry and spoken word nights, as well as other literary events; offer crafts and hobby classes; hold a photo contest; and maintain the Grad Gallery. Please contact the Fellows if you are looking to perform or share your talents with the graduate community.
More than 100 countries are represented among the community of Yale graduate and professional students. The International Student Life Fellows help new and continuing students to connect with each other and share their cultural experiences, planning events in cooperation with the University's International Center throughout the academic year and informing international students of the resources available to them at Yale. Topics of discussion have ranged from American pastimes and preparing for New England's seasonal climates to exploring various cultural transitions, such as in dating and relationships. Students are invited to contact the International Fellows with comments and suggestions, as well as to explore the services and community-building activities sponsored by the Office of International Students and Scholars, the English Language Institute, and international student organizations.
The Family Fellows and Director of Graduate Student Life plan family-oriented events for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with children, such as monthly parents' group luncheons with guest speakers, holiday-themed festivities throughout the year, playgroups, outings to museums and performing arts events, and arts and music programs for children. There are a variety of family-friendly spaces at the McDougal Center, such as the Family Resource Room and Children's Area, baby-changing tables in HGS first-floor restrooms, high-chairs at the Blue Dog Café and in the HGS Dining Hall, and stroller-friendly access to meeting space. Spouses and children are welcome at most McDougal Center events.
The Family Fellows serve as resources for prospective and current graduate student families and maintain the McDougal Kids and Family events calendar. Please view additional information about family life for graduate students, subscribe to McDougal Family Notes, and contact the McDougal Center with inquiries and suggestions.
The Public Service Fellows help connect students with organizations, events and volunteer opportunities in the greater New Haven community, including tutoring positions in the New Haven public schools and the New Haven Reads book bank, as well as on-campus through the Dixwell-Yale Community Learning Center and the Science Outreach office. Other avenues for involvement include food banks, blood drives, voter registration, immigrant advocacy organizations and regional conferences on hunger and homelessness. The United Way of Greater New Haven maintains a database of volunteer opportunities for those who wish to explore these opportunities individually. Throughout the year, the Fellows organize opportunities for students to discuss and reflect upon their role as citizen-scholars and public intellectuals. Students are encouraged to subscribe to the McDougal Service Notes and contact the Fellows to learn about opportunities that align with their goals and interests.
The Social Life Fellows organize a range of events and outings throughout the year to appeal to the diverse tastes and interests of the graduate student community. McDougal social events help students meet other students who share their interests outside the academic context of the lab, office or library. Hundreds of graduate students, professors and administrators attend the themed First Friday at Five ("FFF") happy hours at 5:00 pm in the McDougal Common Room at HGS (21+ with Yale ID.). Other regular events include charity Casino Night, the Annual Winter Ball in February, sushi-making and sake-tasting classes, speed dating, pre-game events for the Harvard-Yale football match, and discounted tickets to Toad's Place. Students with inquiries and suggestions (as well as bands interested in performing at an FFF) are encouraged to contact the Fellows.
The Sports Fellows promote a variety of opportunities for graduate students to discover their own athletic talents and have more exercise and fun while at Yale. The Fellows organize tournaments, Monday Night Football parties and group outings to sporting events, as well as help promote G&P intramural teams in volleyball, softball, basketball and soccer. They work with graduate student sports and recreation groups, often sponsoring hikes, runs, bike outings, and other outdoor events. Contact the Fellows with inquiries and suggestions about athletics and recreation at Yale and in the New Haven area.
Additional resources are available online:
Graduate study at Yale, while fun and intellectually stimulating, can also be stressful, leaving little time for students to focus on their personal health and wellness. The McDougal Health and Wellness Fellows promote awareness of these issues throughout the graduate community. Collaborating with Student Health Education at University Health Services and a team of volunteer health advocates, the Fellows organize programs and events addressing stress management, cold care and seasonal adjustment, winter coat giveaways, safer sex, blood drives, women's health, mental health, fitness and self-defense training, panel discussions with nutritionists and guidance in cooking healthy meals. Fellows provide health and safer sex supplies to students and publish weekly health tips in the McDougal Notes. Please see the Student Health Education web pages for additional information and contact the Health and Wellness Fellows with inquiries and suggestions or to volunteer as a Health Advocate.

We had a gunite pool installed in Oct of '09 (we live outside of DC in Northern VA).
In several areas, the concrete deck has separated from the flagstone coping and the coping is lower than the deck, in some places as much as 3". Any ideas as to what's going on here? Is this normal in cold weather? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most likely the pool is not sinking but your deck could be heaving. If the subgrade was wet or not compacted properly then it can swell in cold weather and push your deck upwards. Since it is very unlikely that your pool would have settled un evenly check your water level on your tile. If it is level all around the pool then then deck moved. |
- Posted by viennamommy19 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 3, 11 at 9:00
Thanks. Our pool is closed for the winter so we can't see any water. Even if we could, the water is well below the tile line. |
- Posted by viennamommy19 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 4, 11 at 20:42
Thank you SO much poolcenter.com! My husband and I are nodding in agreement when reading your reply- we think you're spot on. We have not caulked yet- we still have the foam-like strips between the concrete. At what point next year should this be done? We've already noticed an improvement so hopefully things will even out. Again- thanks so much! The picture on your blog is exactly what we've got going on here. |
After the Spring's main pollen drop. Some caulks take longer to skin over than others. Scott |
Boy am I glad I read this. It's our first winter with our pool (we're in SE PA) and was out at XMas with the kids and noticed the deck was slightly higher than the coping...about an inch in one spot. Was too worried my pool was sinking. Frost heave makes sense though as we also just have that foam like stuff between the deck and coping. Hopefully in the spring it'll level itself back out or at least get close and then we'll caulk it before next winter. Thanks. |
Teeter tottering is possible. Without pix, we won't know. We do know it's Winter and moist clay expands and when it freezes, gets even bigger. Settlement near the dig would have caused it to sink near the coping, not rise. Your own pix show this. Scott |
- Posted by Kirk Roberts(firstname.lastname@example.com) onFri, Feb 4, 11 at 11:02
Settlement near the pool would cause it to sink near the pool, settlement away from the pool with relatively less or no settlement in between would cause it to rise at the edge of the pool. To help ensure that it drops back to its original level if it is just frost heave, you can try putting 60 gallon trash cans full of water on the areas that are lifted the night before a day when temps are predicted to be above freezing. |

I've heard stuff about Beverly at Club Cool in Epcot. The stuff i've heard: eeww... Can someone describe it to me? What is the taste, where is it from, e.t.c.
I could tell you how yummy it is but a picture (or 2 or 3 or 4) is worth a thousand words.
Hmmm. now I wonder what this tastes like?
Well, not too bad
On second thot
Oh good lord what is in this stuff
And the aftershock
It's a very bitter taste that doesn't hit you for a few moments. It claims to be from Italy, but my father, who grew up just south of Rome, never heard of it. And really - the name doesn't look remotely Italian either, so I don't know...
It just has an unpleasant aftertaste. For some reason, I didnt think it was as terrible as people say. I wouldnt drink it recreationally, but it wasnt the worst thing I've ever drank. Just try it for yourself so you can decide how bad it is. I guarantee it wont taste good, but its worth it just to say you tried it!
It sort of taste good at first but then you get this horrible aftertaste! It is so disgusting! I sort of like it but the aftertaste isn't pleasant, but I do think people should try it.
Try it! You'll like it!
(not really.)
ts a really funny joke to play on family and friends,,,, just tell them this is the best one, take a step back and watch their face, when it goes all contorted and funny. RUN
It's even funnier to do it to total strangers! Not that I would do that.
The last time I was at EPCOT I played that trick on 2 friends of mine that met my group of people I was with in there and their faces were priceless. Everyone else had already tried it except me (I wasn't trying it after I saw how horribly everyone else reacted to it) so we knew how it tasted. :lol:
Haha! I've only done it once before to this kid (probably about 10 or 11). He thought it was a funny after the after taste wore off. Then he started doing it to other people.
Two years after making this thread, I can now say that I have tasted Beverly before.
I can also say that I have a close estimate of what feces tastes like.

PROVIDENCE — A little knot of people gathered at sunset Monday at Warrington Street and Elmwood Avenue to commemorate a man who was shot dead there exactly a month ago.
No one has been arrested for the crime.
Lourdes Abaya held a portrait of her son, Francis M. Rodriguez, 22, the city's fifth homicide victim this year, and spoke passionately in Spanish. She recalled how Francis would babysit his daughter, Hazelynn, 3. "We are asking for justice," she said, sobbing.
The mourners lit candles in little paper cups and protected the flames from an evening breeze. They gathered around a cluster of glass candles on the ground and spoke in hushed tones.
Alicia V. Rodriguez remembered her brother as "very prideful, funny, with a great sense of humor."
He was one of eight children, she said, and had recently earned his GED. She said that nurses told Francis during a visit earlier in the year to a hospital that he had "a good bedside manner," and said her brother had been thinking of taking radiology training.
"The police say they're working on it, but they can't make an arrest yet," Alicia Rodriguezsaid. "We're just waiting. We don't want to be another statistic of unsolved murders in Providence."
Her mother vowed to return to the street corner on the second of every month until the case is solved.
"We will be here," she said.

Bouhanni, a story of wins and crashes
Nacer Bouhanni has an eventful relationship with Paris-Nice. Last year, the FDJ ace sprinter crashed out of the race on the third day with the leader's jersey on his back after winning the first stage. On Sunday by the banks of the Seine, he crashed and spent some time with the race doctor along the 162-kms of the circuit stage of the day before surging to outsprint the rest of the field on the line in Mantes-la-Jolie ahead of Germany's John Degenkolb and Belgium's Gianni Meersman. On sheer class, the former French champion claimed back the yellow garment, hoping to be luckier this time and...

Tourist attractions
In an ideal location, west of Île-de-France, around 50km from Paris, Mantes-la-Jolie has 44,000 inhabitants making it the 3rd largest town in the department of Yvelines. It is steeped in historical heritage, of which Notre-Dame Collegiate Church, the Gothic-style 12th century church, is most certainly the crowning jewel. Also a town for sports-lovers, it is home to nearly 500 associations offering local inhabitants around 80 different activities and to several facilities which have been set up to meet local requirements. This is the case for the Didier Simond International watersports stadium, which hosts some of the top-level competitions such as, for example next June, the European sprint junior and U23 canoe-kayak Championships, as well as the Jean-Paul David artificial football pitch offering every team the chance to train in optimum conditions all year round. Thanks to the Seine-Aval national planning operation, in which Mantes-la-Jolie has a central role, the Seine Valley has become a strategic zone, future stop for the Normandy TGV and the RER E (overground train).The Mantes-University district, currently under construction, has injected a new drive with its university hub with 3,000 students, its 1,300 homes and range of leisure activities. It symbolises a new lease of life which has made the centre of Mantes-la-Jolie the heart of the whole urban area. With large-scale events and shows organised throughout the year, attracting visitors from far-afield, Mantes-la-Jolie has built up its projects and confirmed its status as an attractive and modern town. The major town planning project, "Cours des Dames", in the town centre bears witness to this, combining housing, shops and a 3-star hotel, a first for Mantes-la-Jolie. Such advantages will ensure the town centre remains attractive and lively over time. From urban developments to the opening up of its river, the Seine, it is committed to an environmentally-friendly future. To make Mantes even more beautiful!

Holy crap! My first exam week in college is approaching at warp speed, and somehow it just keeps getting faster. It's not as if I'm doing bad in any of my classes, so I know I should do fine on all my exams. But, I think it's just the idea of finals that freaks me out.
I know I'm well prepared and all, but I just can't help feeling nervous. This kind of goes back to the most common piece of advance given to college students: manage your time wisely. This doesn't only apply to exam week, but the whole semester. If you stay on top of everything all year, then exams will be no problem. I keep telling myself that I've done well with my time, so all this worrying is really unnecessary; but it's still hard not to worry.
I think the best way to prepare for any test is to relax and get a couple of good nights of sleep. Sometimes I even find that it's best to just walk away and forget about studying for a while, maybe do something to take your mind off of it. That way, when you come back, you're refreshed and ready to crack the books. Whenever I come back from a nice long break, I don't know why, but I always have a burst of energy. It's like a light bulb turns on and I know what to do.
When studying, it helps to go somewhere that you won't be distracted. I don't know how it is for other students, but my dorm is very distracting. I always find something to eat or clean, and I can never get anything done. I personally like to go to the library. There's something about it that just gives a studying vibe. I feel like I'm supposed to be studying or working, so I do and usually get a lot done in a shorter amount of time.
I know everyone learns differently and has their own unique study habits, so you'll all have to find your own routine. But, this is what works for me, and I hope it helps.
Bye for now!!

Hey, for anyone who lives in NC or within reasonable driving distance to Raleigh, this is a plant sale that I would not miss! It is held twice a year and I never miss it~
Dates: April 12 & 13
They always have unusual plants for sale. The woody list is up on the website, and the perennial list should be up soon. They also usually have assorted annuals, vegetables and herbs for sale when you get there, but be early! The lines can be long at the gate and once the gate is opened, it's a mad dash. I always have a lot of fun! For any hellebore nuts out there, they always have a lovely selection of those. Happy gardening! ~Rachel |

So I've been growing/starting plants in soil mixed with compost...when a friend told me it's better to use soil-less potting mix.
I haven't wrapped my head around why soil-less potting mix is better than, well, soil with compost. I've heard about fungus breeding in soil, but is that the primary reason why people use soil-less potting mix? |

Ainadaliel, Soil- the natural soil or dirt that is outside in the garden naturally, containing leaves, worms, whatever, but your exsisting outside dirt. Soil-less potting mix- Used for POTS only, made specifically for pot use, containing larger fragments for the plants to allow their roots to "breathe" and drain well. Most soil-less potting mix also contains some kind of fertilizer because the plants can't get the natural fertilization in the soil outside, like leaves, worm castings, ect. Where are you starting your plants? Most people start them inside in the winter, which would mean you aren't planting them in the ground. So, if you start babies inside, you want a pot with soil-less potting mix. When they get big, and you want to plant them outside in your garden, then they go in your soil(which is your dirt outside in your garden bed) mixed with compost. I don't know what fungus has to do with anything, if you get fungus on them inside, the drainage isn't good and they aren't getting enough fresh air. |
- Posted by ainadaliel (My Page) on Mon, Jan 17, 11 at 1:56
Thanks! This makes a lot of sense now. :) |
Pots need a soil less potting mix for drainage because regular garden soil will tend to become water logged in a pot. I have used the compost I make for a potting soil for years with no such problem. |
You may find the information at the link below of interest. It explains why soil/water/air relationships are so much more critical in conventional container culture than in your gardens/beds, and why soils comprised primarily of small particles (topsoil/peat/compost/coir) are more difficult to grow in and provide a much narrower margin for error than soils the primary fraction of which are comprised of larger particulates. Al |

Wigan Host Hunslet in Round 5 of Challenge Cup

Hope you lovely people at Wigan are going to turn up in good numbers to watch our boys give their all we sure need the money and your support to make it a great day for Hunslet Hawks Thanks
I wouldn't bank on it pal. Maybe back in the good old days at Central Park. We (Swinton) played Wigan at the JJB in the Challenge Cup quarter final in 2003 and only just over 5,000 bothered to turn out even though the Lions had a big following that day. So much for the biggest name in RL. That season we made peanuts in the Challenge Cup. When we played Wigan at Central Park in the 1st round of the Challenge Cup back in the '60s over 31,000 went through the turnstiles to witness a 15-15 draw with almost the same numbers for the replay at Station Road (Swinton won)
The "Challenge Cup"? Should be seriously renamed the Super-League-Only Challenge Cup as even the gutsiest Championship clubs (semi-pro) are annually put to the sword by these grossly overrated fully pro clubs with their finely tuned athletic robotic players, very few of whom know anything about the game in terms of footballing skills like they used to when the sport was all on the same level (semi-pro) prior to the takeover by the adherents to "all things Australasian" who sold their rugby league souls to the big paymasters (Sky etc) just entering the game.

Steady on old lad we don't expect miracles just a bit of income to help our club progress we all know what the outcome will be but everyone's looking forward to it so I do hope for a good turnout not the Alamo.

text: After the death of Fong Poy's (aka Fong Wan) second wife, Fannie Ng in 1924, he didn't trust his own instincts in selecting another wife. He decided to have a traditionally-arranged marriage through his parents in China, and requested his mother and sisters to select a young woman who would be compatible with his strong (albeit, stubborn) character. Since his family believed in horoscopes, they most likely consulted the Chinese astrological charts and horoscopes of prospective brides for mutual compatibility. They interviewed several eligible girls from the nearby villages and decided on a young woman from the Lee clan. Back-and-forth negotiations ensued between the two families, with probing questions from the Lee family concerning Fong Poy's character, demeanor and ability to care for his new wife. After an agreement was made, Fong Poy gave a large dowry to the Lee family as per Chinese custom. The selected maiden was the envy of her friends and other eligible girls because the chosen one would marry a prosperous "wah que" (overseas Chinese) living in America.

Stay positive. You may be able to regain property like electronics, jewelry, or a car if they've been repossessed by filing for bankruptcy. You should be able to get your possessions back if they have been taken away from you within 90 days before you filed for bankruptcy. Interview and research attorneys before choosing one to help you with your bankruptcy. If you plan to pay debts off before you file for bankruptcy, be careful. There are bankruptcy laws which forbid repayment of some creditors within three months before filing. In the case of family members, this period of time may extend to a full year. So, before you ultimately decide to file a claim, be sure that you understand the rules in place. Do what you can to keep your home. Bankruptcy filings do not necessarily mean that you have to lose your house. It depends what your home value is and if there is a second mortgage, as all this stuff comes into play when determining if you can keep the home. You can also investigate your state's homestead exemption, an option that might enable you to keep your home if certain financial requirements are met. Once you decide to file, it is important to act in a more financially responsible manner. Do not take on more debt or use more of your current credit. When looking at your situation, a judge will take both your past and current credit history into consideration. You want to show them that you are doing everything you can to make your situation better. Make sure you are acting at the appropriate time. Timing is everything, especially in personal bankruptcy filings. For some people, filing right away is best, however for others, waiting a while is best. Discuss your particular situation with your bankruptcy attorney to determine the best time to file.
Make sure you know as much as possible before you file. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer to handle your bankruptcy proceedings, it can be tempting to do-it-yourself. If that is your choice, you have to be sure you are educated about the bankruptcy laws. Those who do their own bankruptcies often make mistakes that interfere with their ability to secure a discharge. Do everything the right way so it all goes through as it should.
Many bankruptcy attorneys offer the first consultation with no charge, so consult with several before deciding on one. By law, paralegals and assistants can not give legal advice, so be sure that you are meeting with an actual attorney. Look for an attorney until you find one you feel comfortable with. Exhaust every other option before making the decision to file for personal bankruptcy. Debt advisors are one of the many other avenues you can consider. Your credit score will be forever effected by bankruptcy, which is why you should do everything else in your power to resolve matters first.
After a bankruptcy, you may not be able to receive any credit cards. If you do, then try applying for a coupe of secured cards. This will show other people that you're serious when it comes to having your credit record in order. After using a secured card for a certain amount of time, you might be offered an unsecured card once again.
Prior to filing, do not use your credit card to get a cash advance, knowing your debts will be eliminated. Not only is this fraud, but you could still be liable to repay the money at the end of the day. Don't stop the the bankruptcy process if you find a job. Filing for bankruptcy might be the smartest thing for you to do. The timing of your bankruptcy is important. If you file your bankruptcy before you receive new income, your ability to repay will be evaluated as if you did not have a job. It is important to remind your lawyer of any details that may be important to your case. Don't assume that they will recall every detail that you go over with them without a friendly reminder. This is your future in their hands, so don't be scared to mention it.
Don't procrastinate when it comes to your personal bankruptcy. If this is the only option that you could take, waiting won't make it better. As long as you do nothing, your financial position will get worse and worse and your stress level will continue to climb. This can lead to numerous adverse consequences in your life. It is best to file as quickly as possible. Once you decide that bankruptcy is the best option, you should start doing some research about this procedure. Filing for bankruptcy will affect your financial future, so knowledge and a proactive attitude can help make the process smoother.

I will be getting married at my home next August. It will be outdoors, and I would like to plant flowers that will go with my wedding colours (mauve & white). Could someone tell me what flowers bloom in August. It does not matter if they are annuals or perrenials. I have a jackmanii(Dark purple)clematis growing in the back garden as well as what I beleive to be African Mums(tall yellow flowers).These are still in bloom now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live close to Sudbury Ontario. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check out the far north forum, the "what's blooming now" posts for the dates in August. If you're just now or in the spring planting perennials, I would think you will be filling in with a lot of annuals. You can get most flowering plants in white, and the choices for different purples are great. Petunias, lobelia, and pansies immediately come to mind for no-fail bloom all season long, unless your summers are too hot for pansies. |

My dahlias are in bloom, mini roses, turtles head, black eyed susan vine,honeysuckle vine, morning glories, pansies, geraniums and a couple that I'm not sure of the names. My most beautiful blooms right now are my 4 brugmansia plants (angels trumpet) just magnificent! I will have cuttings of these soon if you like. |

That would be wonderful Daisiensam, thank you. I am quite new to this site, so I am not sure how this works. How do we go about getting cuttings. I live in the Markstay area, but my fiance works at Memorial. I have a clematis(Jackmanii) that I could trade a cutting from or I also have three colors of hollyhock (purple ,pink,white) that are full of seed. |
Asters bloom in mid August and come in white and various shades of blue/violet/mauve. However, they are perennial and take several years to get to a good size, so likely won't have a lot of blooms by next August. Almost all perennials will be the same as the asters; if you plant them now or next spring they will not have many blooms until 2006. I suggest you plant lots of annuals next May that bloom June to Sept, (most annuals do, ask a garden centre for advice on what is good in your local area). Plant them densely, keep them fertilized and watered and hope they are dense for the wedding. If that doesn't work out, then buy lots of potted mums in mauve and white (in the nurseries by August) and place them in the garden. |

Hey there! A good mauve flower (or so I like to think) is the purple obediant plant. They were in bloom in August, they're a very pale purple and look quite delicate. A good white-flowering plant is mallow, can't remember the actual name. If you plant the seeds in the springtime, they should grow to flowering size by august. I don't have a photobucket picture of mallow plants, but there's a flower close-up picture on my website. -Audric |

Hi bride to be. I will be taking cuttings from my brugs this weekend,if you want to send me your email address I could give you my phone number and you or your fiance can drop in and pick them up. Also I have those obedient plants in pink and white and they sure bloomed in August. I also have another tall one in purple but I don't know what it is, they all have plenty of seeds I can give you. I would love a clematis cutting and a couple of seeds from each of your hollyhocks. |

You can get annual asters that will bloom in August as well. They put on a great show, and if you get a mixed variety all the colors would be good with your wedding colors. They are easy to start from seed, and the annual type will flower the first year. |

Congratulations! I went to a plant show the other day and they had the most beautiful display! It was deep purple asters with deep pinky purple dahlias. (almost purple) These both bloom in August (get aster Variety Moench which blooms from July on). I plan to use this combo next summer. Good luck! |
Dahlias and glads might be a good choice. You could stagger multiple plantings of the glads to ensure that some of them will be blooming at all times. |

One might think that the tabloidish revelations of Barney Frank's abuse of office in helping his hooker-housemate Stephen Gobie would have humbled the Massachusetts lawmaker. It emboldened him, and the cantankerous congressman found himself immersed in more scandals with more boyfriends. Rather than own up Barney lashed out. More than thirty years after his election to Congress, Barney Frank has decided to call it quits. His constituents should have quit him years ago. Read my piece @ City Journal on how a fawning constituency only fuels a narcisisstic politician.
When the going gets tough; Barney gets going. There IS an upside to Massachusetts losing population after all.
Good riddance to this dangerous, arrogant, aberrant, corrupt reprobate!
Stay tuned on how I really feel. Happy would be one way to describe it.
How much of a one-party, establishment-fawning, static state is Massachusetts? It took the Democrat clique on Beacon Hill (who redistricted him) to get this guy off of Capital Hill, when no scandal and no Republic could do so.
Could not disagree with any of that.
Took them a while, but even the soft powers that pretend here got that BF was not only a local embarrassment but a national one.
And as more people flee the state, the Congressional Delegation from Mosco....eh, Massachusetts will dwindle.
Don't let the door - oh. Come to think of it, he might rather like that....
I know it's the way our government works, but it's dangerous in many cases that a member of Congress who gets voted to high office by a constituent base that may not be capable of exercising good judgment or stability can force one of their own on the American people nationally. To understand this completely, think of (crazy) Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House and wielding the enormous power of that appointment. Put into and kept in power by, arguably, one of the most left leaning off the chart leftist constituencies in the country.
She was two (depending on how you look at it) catastrophes away from the Presidency of the United States! And even though Barney would never have been that kind of threat he still had too much power for his own good.
I read your article and listened to your KSFO interview about Barney Bye-Bye.
Here are a couple of recollections from 1980, when he won his first term.
Back then the district was gerrymandered westward, from Brookline to Waltham to Leominster, Fitchburg, and Gardner.
Barney beat Waltham mayor (Clarke?) in the primary. The Republican candidate was Dick Jones, a U.S. Army dentist from Fort Devens.
I volunteered with the Jones campaign and spent many afternoons holding Jones and Reagan signs at busy intersections in Leominster. I canvassed a lot of Lancaster and placed a lot of yard signs. I distributed literature in Gardner.
On Election Day, I was astounded to see sound trucks driving around Leominster pushing the Frank campaign. Their team was so organized.
We Jones people were a ragtag bunch of amateurs. We did what we could with what little we had, which included zilch from the state and national Republicans, as far as I could tell.
Barney was a bad fit for the western end of the district but enough mindless automatons voted for the "D" after the name to put him over the top. He even won Gardner, probably on union and factory workers' votes.
Overall I think he got less than the 54% he got against Sean Bielat in 2010. In the 1982 redistricting he was gerrymandered 90 degrees away into the narrow district that brought him into New Bedford.
Any kind of serious support for Jones could have prevented the thirty years of damage that the 1980 election launched.
And I think Republicans still haven't learned their lessons from elections like that. The Republican ruling class I've seen while living in Pennsylvania and in the Deep South don't seem to get it, either.
The Tea needs to be stronger.
