TEN GENERATIONS EN LA TROCA (14.5" x 20") original drawing by Beth Surdut, Santa Fe, New Mexico Naturalist, author, and sister enthusiast Sy Montgomery wrote, Your art is astonishingly vivid and moving and real. Your words are as wise and lyrical as your drawings.
The Reason Why (Raven head) 6" x 9" appears Walks Like a Man 9" x 14" in The Encyclopedia of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico "You have their personal traits down pat-- the way they strut, the curious pose, the whole body language," said an avid raven art collector. "These ravens are wonderful because you obviously know your bird and its personality. It's as if you have one in your home. Most people are content to do the raven-looking-over-the-shoulder pose and call it good. You nailed it every time. The Ravens of Truth and Memory 10" x 13" Dr. Peter Stacey, professional ornithologist and riparian management specialist at the University of New Mexico writes: "The drawings of Beth Surdut capture the intelligence, playfulness and physical forms of ravens as well as or better than any artist I have seen. Not only are her depictions correct in anatomy and posture, but after looking at her drawings, I wonder, What is that bird thinking?" Surdut is able to communicate these attributes without making her ravens look like "little people"-- the birds in her drawings actually do look and behave just like ravens do."

charcoal taken from the One of the myths Ive come across is that Raven was a beautiful white bird who brought fire to humanity. While carrying the burning firebrand across the skies, Ravens white feathers became irrevocably blackened by the smoke as he flew. Other stories, especially the trickster tales, put Raven in dire circumstances that he really shouldnt survive. Yet he sometimes literally suffers terrible wounds, puts himself back together, and goes on, as we dochanged, but anticipating the next phase of life.

I take back my proposal. It turns out that indeed hotplug already has this sort of extensibility. Unfortunately, the examples that I looked at where still in the old inconvenient style, hence my confusion. /etc/hotplug/usb.agent already uses all the /etc/hotplug/usb/*.usermap tables. So it is simply a matter of dropping such a table in this directory (this is also where the scripts go). It worked very well for my ebuild.

Test System Setup
Processor(s): Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz "C"
Motherboard(s): Abit IC7 MAX3 (Supplied by Altech Computers)
Video card(s): PowerColor Radeon 9800 Pro (Supplied by Altech Computers)
Hard Disk(s): Maxtor SATA 80GB 7200RPM (Supplied by Altech Computers)
Operating System Used: Windows XP Professional SP1
Drivers Used: Catalyst 3.5
Software Used: SiSoft Sandra Max 3, PC Mark 2002, 3DMark 2001 SE, 3DMark 2003, Unreal Tournament 2003, Jedi Knight 2 , Commanche 4 and Quake 3
Benchmarking Rundown
Due to the massive amount of memory being tested, we choose to cut down on the amount of tests when compared to our last Dual Channel roundup. We have chosen to include SiSoft Sandra Max 3 as it really does give us the maximum theoretical speeds of memory and it gives people a good idea on how these numbers affect real world gaming. PCMark 2002 is another benchmark that is purely numbers, it gives us an idea on what the maximum performance of the memory is but when it comes to real world gaming we don't always see these numbers translate correctly.
We couldn't run a set of benchmarks without the famous 3D Mark 2001 and 3D Mark 2003. While some people will take 3D Mark 2003 results more seriously then others, we couldn't help but include them for people to get a better grasp of the speeds and to use for their own comparisons.
We included a list of gaming benchmarks including UT2003, Jedi Knight 2, etc. We have run all gaming benchmarks in two resolutions - 640 X 480 and 1280 X 1024. 640 X 480 gets rid of the video card bottle neck and concentrates on getting a higher frame rate with faster processor speeds and quicker memory. While this is all good and well a lot of people don't play at this resolution so we have opted to run the benchmarks at 1280 X 1024 as well.
We have chosen to run all the memory at a list of different speeds. All memory was ran at DDR400 using the timings 2.5-4-4-7 and 2.7V. We then ran all the memory at default speed with SPD - in the event that the memory was PC3200 or DDR400, we left their default test as the original tests we first spoke of. Finally we moved into maximum overclocking raising the memory voltage between 2.9V to 3.2V and we attempted to achieve the maximum overclock of each brand of memory. While at this voltage extra cooling came into the equation. We wouldn't recommend running voltages over 2.9V for extended periods of time without added cooling. A maximum overclock was not counted unless it could complete all tests multiple times and the relaxed timings 3-4-4-8 were used all across the board to get the maximum overclock.
When it comes to the graphs there are a few different ways the memory can win. First up we will be looking for the fastest memory at DDR400 speeds. Since we aren't all overclockers, some people will want to simply run their memory at processor spec. Another is the fastest memory when it comes to PC3500/PC3700 speeds as well as the advantage these two different speeds make. Finally we have the fastest overall memory which we would expect will be one of the PC4000 modules. All these different numbers will give people a better idea of what is best for them. Finally we will look at overclocking which will give the more power hungry user an idea of what they can expect and if it's really necessary to spend big on PC4000 memory.
Hardware Run Down
There have been a few hardware changes since our last round up. The most important has been the upgrade to the Abit IC7-MAX3, this board has quickly become known across the hardware community as one of the best, if not the best Canterwood motherboard on the market. One of the best features on this motherboard when it comes to testing memory is the maximum voltage of 3.2V. Most motherboards on the market don't go above 2.8V and this can limit your overall overclock of the memory, with 3.2V we are able to get the most out of the memory which gives our readers a better off aspect of what the memory is capable of.
We have moved from the P4 2.8C that we had last time over to a 2.4C. The 2.4C is known as a better overclocker and gives us the chance to try and remove another bottleneck that we may have with maximum FSB. We have continued using the Radeon 9800 Pro as it is still one of the fastest video cards on the market, besides the new 9800 XT which we didn't have access to during the time of testing.
Without any further ado, let's see how the memory modules go at DDR 400 and beyond!

Hundreds of adults were at the Exploration Station in Grover Beach on Sunday for a unique fundraiser.
The Chemistry of Cocktails fundraiser featured local mixologists in a competition to create the best cocktail.
Around 300 tickets were sold for the event, which featured cocktail tasting, food, live music, and much more.
Board President Anita Shower says they have mixed things up this year for the second annual event.
"Last year we took the drinks to the judges. This year the judges are going from bartender to bartender and the drink is being made right in front of them."
All proceeds from the event will go to the Exploration Station's learning programs.
Organizers say last year's event raised around $5,200.

Pick of the day: Josh Hamilton's classic comeback
Baseball's World Series has come and gone, with my hometown San Francisco Giants having chased more than a half-century's worth of ghosts by finally winning a championship. The Giants won mainly by throttling the best-hitting team in Major League Baseball. -- a lineup anchored by Josh Hamilton, the slugging center-fielder who is a leading contender for the American League Most Valuable Player Award that will be announced later this month.
Not that I'm shedding any tears over this (my team's success trumps a great narrative any day), but San Francisco's win denied Hamilton from adding the ultimate exclamation point to one of baseball's great comeback stories.
The short version is that he was a can't-miss prep prospect who was the first overall pick in the 1999 draft ... and then he completely came apart, becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol following a 2001 auto accident. He was out of baseball completely for a spell, then got clean and clawed his way back. He was in the majors by 2007 -- and a season later was a starter in the All-Star Game and a legitimate MVP candidate. When the Rangers won the American League championship last month, Hamilton cried on the field.
But that summary doesn't really do justice to his story.
To understand just how far he'd fallen and what he had to do to get himself back to baseball brilliance, read this tremendous feature by The Post's superlative baseball scribe Dave Sheinin. It was written during spring training in 2007, when Hamilton's comeback was still in progress, and it's a classic.

I have to admit that sometimes it's difficult to get pictures of Dot doing crafts because, well, the kid hates to be dressed. That also means that she gets pretty filthy when we do some of our projects. We've been able to solve both problems while creating a really fun craft. We used fabric paints and markers to make her a special "craft apron" that she can wear when we're doing our "little projects."
What I Learned the Hard Way: Kids hate waiting for paint to dry. ;-)
I really like the design you made. I would like to buy some new aprons for my kids to decorate.

* required fields
The University of California, San Francisco, School of Dentistry will host a C.E. course on Caries Management By Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) beginning in March for dentists interested in implementing the strategies in their practice.
Coursera: Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) will be led by John D.B. Featherstone, MSc, PhD, Professor and Dean, UCSF School of Dentistry, from March 31 to May 12 and will teach attendees to immediately apply "caries management by risk assessment" into their clinical setting or into their personal health care.
Caries Management By Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) is a research-based, systematic approach to integrate caries risk assessment as a centerpiece of the dental practice. CAMBRA aims to diagnose and prevent caries through the process of assessing a patient's risk for caries by examining various health and lifestyle factors as part of their regular dental checkup.
The UCSF course can be taken for free. Twelve units of California Continuing Dental Education Credit are available for $189; $69 for Coursera Signature Track; and $120 for UCSF Dentistry CDE. CDE Credit will be awarded upon certified completion of the course, payment of both fees and presentation of Coursera Signature Track to UCSF Continuing Dental Education. Attendees can expect four to six hours of course time per week.
This will be the second time UCSF has held the course. Last September, 8,000 people from more than 30 countries signed up.
To register, visit UCSF's website.
The CDA Foundation has assisted the CAMBRA research project throughout its development stages. With the support of a grant received from UnitedHealthcare, for example, the project partners were able to develop the study's protocols and recruit dentists in private and public practice to participate. The CDA Foundation has supported the CAMBRA approach through past events as well. In early 2011, for example, the CDA Foundation hosted a CAMBRA Symposium in San Francisco. The symposium gathered a wide range of stakeholders within dentistry. Representatives from universities, third-party payers, private and public practice and philanthropy were among the speakers.
Those interested in receiving a full project overview for more information can contact Rolande Tellier Loftus, program director, at email@example.com or Peter Rechmann, DDS, PhD, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information on CAMBRA and the efforts of the CDA Foundation, visit cdafoundation.org/CAMBRA.

Breakfast Topic: Which Cataclysm quest chain has blown your mind? {WoW}
Feb 4th 2011 10:12AM I cannot believe nobody has mention the greatest quest chain ever yet.
I'm obviously speaking of the Maximillian of Northshire quest series in Un'Goro. They are hands down, the best quest chain I've seen in Cataclysm (and I've finished doing Loremaster of Cataclysm, Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor).
If you haven't seen these yet, get yourself down to Golakka Hot Springs right away and be ready to laugh yourself silly!
Breakfast Topic: Do you actually enjoy PUGs? {WoW}
Jan 30th 2011 8:12AM I really enjoy PUGing. I think they get a bad rap too much. My guild hates on PUGs all the time which gets a bit annoying as I'm on at a time when most my guild is not so PUGs are my only option. The start of Cata was a bit shaky but once most people learned the fights, my PUG experiences have been great. There's something really fun about 5 random strangers getting together and kicking ass!

Introductory guide to fighting rogues, Part 2 {WoW}
Mar 6th 2010 8:58AM Well yeah, if the rogue is out of stealth already and capping a flag I wouldn't have a problem with it. But in normal combat a rogue is just going to sap you to see if you break with the trinket so they can pull of the double stun combo and not have to worry about their Kidney Shot being trinketed.
Introductory guide to fighting rogues, Part 2 {WoW}
Mar 6th 2010 4:59AM I'm sorry but trinketing out of Sap is the worst thing you could do. It's exactly what rogues want you to do because then you have to sit there and eat a full Cheap Shot + Kidney Shot.

Feb 8th 2010 6:56PM I found a Troll Rogue lurking in the sewers of Dalaran and he ran when he saw my Human Pally running towards him.
The hardest for me to find though was a Blood Elf Mage. I had to look for about an hour on Aman'Thul before I found one. Who'da thunk it?

I like infographics a lot!
When I saw this particular one on logos it made me think of the amount of time that I've worked in two churches–11 years in one and 18 in another. My experience has been that when you're in one location for a long time that you're able to observe a lot of change. There are times when it feels as if a certain decision is so important that you've got to get it right. I'm guessing that's the case of these original logos–they probably felt like each logo was a "done deal."
Here's where my mind went–instead of getting paralyzed by indecision… pull the trigger. Make the decision. It's probably not a decision that will last forever… chances are good you change it soon. Most of your leadership decisions are not final.

These Everbright LED Solar Fairy Lights are incredibly easy to install, free to operate, and can be positioned almost anywhere as they're not tethered to a mains socket.
Everbright Solar Fairy Lights require very little effort to install, and can be powered all the year round by daylight, irrespective of the weather. Consisting of a 30-metre string of 300 warm white LEDs, these fairy lights can be easily installed around walls, fences, lawns, and decking. An IP56 rating signifies robust water and dust resistance.
Supplied as part of a kit, the Everbright Solar Fairy Lights come with a solar panel, 2m extension cable, spike mount, wall/fence/deck mount, USB charging cable, 2 x installed AA rechargeable batteries (replaceable), fixings and instructions.
At the core of this system is the solar panel module, which also houses the batteries. These batteries charge by day and the lights are automatically triggered by a light sensor at night. A manual override facility lets you take full control if required. Being low-voltage by nature, these LEDs are safer and easier to install than mains-powered fairy lights, and just as bright.
Everbright Solar Fairy Lights offer a choice of 8 different programmable modes: alternating, chasing, fast flash, slow flash, pulsing, fast flicker, combination and 'constant on'.
To ensure efficient charging the solar panel attached to these fairy lights should be positioned for maximum exposure to sunlight. Although the batteries will recharge in cloudy conditions, direct sunlight significantly hastens the process. One great feature of these lights is their use of Everbright iPS technology, which adjusts the level of power delivered to the LEDs based on the amount of charge in the batteries.
During sustained periods of cloudy weather the included USB charging cable gives you the choice of taking the solar module indoors and fully recharging it through either a PC or USB mains charger. A full recharge enables up to 10 hours of operation.
This Everbright LED Solar Fairy Light set includes 300 warm white Everbright LEDs, which offer many years of reliable service.
Since LEDs run on DC power, they synchronise easily with the power delivered by solar panels and rechargeable batteries. They're also incredibly compact, shock-proof, vibration-proof, and they perform reliably at low operating temperatures.
The dimensions of Everbright Solar Fairy Lights are:

Harrigan's has been serving up Irish hospitality by way of fresh seafood, steak, and sandwiches for more than 25 years. Commence evening eating with a lip-smacking starter from the dinner menu, such as potato skins loaded with corned beef, jack cheese, and sauerkraut ($8.99). Make Irish eyes smile from lid to lid with Guinness-kissed beef potpie ($14.99) or Irish-whiskey chicken marinated with Jameson. Nautically nosh on the surf o' turf ($18.99), or challenge butter- and garlic-infused steak, paired with fries or frizzled onions ($15.99), to slake demanding dental requests. Harrigan's also houses a fully stocked bar backed by bartenders friendly enough to rotate customers' frowns 90 degrees.
Club Maggies is actually three venues in one?Maggie's Underground, Maggie's Uptown, and Maggie's Tiki Bar?each of which puts an individual spin on drinking and dining. Stop in for fresh seafood and burgers at Maggie's Underground the casual restaurant with a sports bar vibe, pop into Maggie's Uptown for a specialty cocktail or special sushi roll, or head to the fresh air of Maggie's Tiki Bar to drink in the sounds of live music with an island vibe during the warmer months. In addition to serving up a shared menu of unique pub fare, pizza, sushi, house specialty prime rib, and desserts such as chocolate fondues, Club Maggies holds regular events including open mic and karaoke nights.
Brickwall's friendly ambiance livens up the final block of Cookman Avenue in Asbury Park, revitalizing a once-forgotten neighborhood with warming food and local events. An industrial-style interior sets the stage for an eclectic menu of updated homestyle plates, sporting appetizers such as cajun seared shrimp with parmesan grits ($12) and savory main courses such as a dry-rub half-rack of ribs ($15). More herbaceous hankerings can be answered with earthy eats such as potato, pesto, and parmesan fusilli ($14). Satisfy a sweet tooth with a single dessert of blueberry cobbler, or swaddle a whole mouth's worth with a half-dozen post-dinner dishes (desserts are $3 each, or $15 for six). The tavern's extensive drink selection includes ample offerings of wine, beer, and creative cocktails to wet the whistles of patrons lacking their own camel-like water supply.

Very nice little set, this is perfect to find out which products you'll like. I do think using milk in body products is gross though:/
This review is for the older version of this kit. It's the perfect little starter kit to try all of Burt's baby line. They all smell absolutely heavenly and work fabulously as well. The older kit came with the Lotion, diaper ointment, apricot baby oil, a packet of dusting powder and a packet of the buttermilk bath, a cute little jar of baby cream, baby wash, a bar of baby soap, a bar of solid shampoo, and a cute baby comb, all for 10 dollars. The new version come with the oil, wash, lotion, diaper cream and soap, all for 13 dollars. Kind of a rip off now. The packaging for the items in the older version was much nicer too. What a bummer. Poo to Burt's Bees for that!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wanted some bath products for our baby, and thought this would be a nice way to "splurge" on some natural products without spending tons of bucks. The items come in a reusable, clear vinyl, rectangular pouch with zipper closure:
Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil (1 fl. oz. bottle)
Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion (1 fl. oz. bottle)
Baby Bee Buttermilk Bath (.14 oz. powder packet)
Baby Bee Buttermilk Soap (.80 oz. bar)
Baby Bee Diaper Ointment (.56 oz. squeeze tube)
Baby Bee Dusting Powder (.14 oz. powder packet)
Baby Bee Shampoo Bar (.80 oz. bar)
Baby Bee Comb
I loved the kit so much I bought some items in full-size when I ran out (Dusting Powder, Shampoo Bar, and Buttermilk Soap thus far), and then I bought a second for use as a travel kit. The second kit contains the same as above, except it has Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash (1 fl. oz. bottle) instead of the Shampoo Bar and Buttermilk Soap - the change is probably due to the Shampoo Bar being discontinued.
The only complaint I have is that the bottles have plain screw tops - a squirt top (like many lotions and shampoo bottles have) would be easier to use. I'll review each of the products more thoroughly under their specific names instead of all here. Overall, I love the kits and recommend them for: (a) new moms in search of baby-friendly natural products, and (b) babies on the go!

This is a great kit, the perfect way to get familiar with the Baby Bee products and most of them have that wonderful, comforting scent. The only thing I didn't love was the shampoo bar, it didn't make much lather or seem to get my son's hair as clean as his regular baby shampoo. IMO, the best products in the kit are the soap, lotion and diaper cream -- I'd definitely repurchase those in full-size.
This is my go-to baby gift. I love the fact that the Burt's Bees product are safe for sensitive(baby)skin. Some parents use the kit as an intro kit; hence the name "Getting Started". Other parents use it as a travel kit. Everyone I've given this to have raved about how wonderful the products are.
The kit contains:
Dr. Burt's 100% Natural Children's Toothpaste, Baby Bee Buttermilk Bath, Baby Bee Diaper Ointment, Baby Bee Dusting Powder, Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil, Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion, Baby Bee Honey Comb
Other Baby Bee product may be included depending on the specific kit.

In the end, Rolle's gambit paid off. Penelas beat Teele and served two full terms as county mayor. Rolle was among Penelas's reliable allies on the county commission. His relationship with Miami-Dade's first executive mayor gave Rolle access to a network of business people and community leaders he didn't have before, Balsera says.
It is a network Rolle has tapped into during his last and current campaigns for re-election. During a recent interview, lobbyist Sylvester Lukis acknowledged hosting a Rolle fundraiser at his client Alan Potamkin's Coral Gables palace that netted nearly $37,000 in campaign contributions in one day. "Rolle is a good commissioner," Lukis says. "He does a phenomenal job."
According to his campaign finance reports, Rolle has collected $9000 from Potamkin and $7000 from home builder Sergio Pino. Ex-felon and former-Hialeah-councilman-turned-affordable-housing-developer Silvio Cardoso, his family, and business partners kicked in $6500.
Others who generously gave to the Rolle re-election drive included H.J. Russell & Company a firm that holds a multimillion-dollar contract to manage the redevelopment of the James E. Scott and Carver public housing projects in Rolle's district and the Miami office of law firm Genovese Joblove & Battista, where Miami-Dade planning advisory board chairman Al Maloof is a partner. Maloof, his law firm, his consulting company, and several Genovese lawyers contributed $2250 to Rolle.
Maloof, who is registered as a lobbyist representing twenty companies, including his own law firm, says he supports Rolle because the Governor has done a good job fostering economic development and supporting youth-oriented community organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and Boy Scouts of America. "He takes care of the community," Maloof says.
It's one of those unbearably sticky Miami afternoons. Liberty City activist Brian Dennis is strolling through the desolate construction site that used to be the James E. Scott and Carver public housing compound on NW 22nd Avenue, between 68th and 75th streets. Dennis's shoulder-length dreadlocks and scruffy beard are beginning to sprout a few gray coils, possible signs of wear and tear from more than eight years of community activism.
The 39-year-old Dennis was among the hundreds of community activists and former residents who unsuccessfully fought Miami-Dade County's plans to replace Scott-Carver with a controversial redevelopment project that displaced 800 low-income families nearly 3000 inhabitants. "Rolle got rid of entire families," Dennis gripes. "All the residents won't be able to afford to come back. Sure, you'll find a few. But what about the rest of them?"
For more than 50 years, Scott-Carver was the epicenter of the drug-related crime and violence that envelopes Liberty City. Three years ago, the county razed most of the 850-unit military barracks-style apartment complex, paving the way for a mixed-income community consisting of more than 400 affordable single-family homes, townhouses, and low-income apartments. Demolition of the remaining empty 314 units is set to begin later this year.
From day one, Rolle has been the controversial project's champion a fact that has significantly hurt his standing among his core constituents in Liberty City. Even though he led the chorus of promises that residents would be given the opportunity to return once the redevelopment was complete, community activists assert most of Carver's denizens will not be able to afford the new homes.
Had James Burke not been indicted, the Scott-Carver redevelopment would have been dead in the water, Dennis relays. "Burke may have been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but he grew up in Scott," Dennis says. "He wasn't going to allow it to run like that. Now you see what Rolle did."
Gihan Perera, executive director of the Miami Workers Center, an organization that assists inner-city residents, says Rolle has been a disappointment and has lacked the leadership to really help his community.
Throughout the struggle to stop the razing of Scott-Carver, Perera says his group tried to impress upon Rolle the importance of listening to the residents' concerns about being uprooted from the gritty place they called home. "If he didn't step up and take care of these people," Perera recalls, "then he was going to lose his core constituency."
Instead, Perera continues, Rolle ignored the residents. For instance, on September 6, 2002, fifteen members from Low-Income Families Fighting Together (LIFFT) a grassroots coalition of Scott-Carver residents stormed JESCA's headquarters on NW 54th Street to deliver a letter urging Rolle to attend an upcoming community forum. The group accused Rolle of refusing to meet with them to hear their concerns.
At a June 22, 2004 county commission meeting, Rolle prevented LIFFT members from commenting about a county report showing a disproportionate number of vacancies in the county-owned housing project. "We've asked Rolle to meet with us many times, and he has never responded," says LIFFT member Jearline Borders.
To date, only four new single-family houses have been built on the former public housing site. Those were developed by Habitat for Humanity, which has a contract with the county to build another 52 homes. Construction won't commence on the remaining 354 townhouses, single-family residences, and public housing apartments until at least 2008, according to a recent housing agency report.
Of the 800 families, only 56 have qualified to purchase a home in the new development.
On the other hand, Balsera notes that Scott-Carver was a blight on the community. "It was not a situation that offered hope or optimism to anyone who lived there or in the surrounding community," Balsera opines. "He made the tough decision to displace all these families in exchange for building a much better community. That shows he is willing to make political sacrifices for long-term gain."

Where to use my card
Loading and adding money to my card
Making a purchase with my card
What is a Visa Prepaid Card?
The Visa Prepaid Card is a smart and cost-effective alternative to carrying cash and paying check-cashing fees. Because it is a pre-funded card, you only spend what money you load on it and you can typically get it without a credit check or bank account. Simply purchase the Visa Prepaid Card, load it with the cash amount you choose and enjoy the purchasing power of the Visa brand. You can use it to make purchases and pay bills anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted, including in stores, online or over the phone.
How does my Visa Prepaid Card work?
Because it is a prepaid card, spending is limited to the amount of money you load on the card. Plus, because it carries the Visa logo, you can use it anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted – in stores, online or over the phone. Each time you use your card, the purchase amount is automatically deducted from your card balance.
You can add money to your card at the retail locations such as GreenDot and Western Union or through the direct deposit of your wages, tax refunds, or other disbursements, such as social security, child support, welfare or other payments. Save time and money by having your paycheck or government benefits check automatically deposited into your prepaid card account. Set this up using the simple direct deposit form provided on your account site. You can also visit retail locations and load cash or checks at GreenDot and Western Union locations. You can find these locations at: www.moneypak.com and www.westernunion.com.
Do I need to activate my Visa Prepaid Card?
Yes. To activate your card, dial 1-866-612-8473 and follow the instructions. You will be asked to set up a PIN number; this will begin the activation of your card.
How do I get cash at an ATM with my Visa Prepaid Card?
To get cash at the ATM, insert your card into the machine and enter your PIN. Select "checking" to make a withdrawal and enter the amount of cash you want to withdraw. Then take your cash, card, and receipt to keep track of your balance.
What should I do if my Visa Prepaid Card is lost or stolen?
Report lost or stolen cards immediately by calling the toll-free number listed on the back of the card or in the card materials. We recommend making a note of this toll-free number (1-866-612-8473) and keeping it in a safe place in case both your card and the accompanying materials are lost or stolen.
Where can I use my Visa Prepaid Card?
You can use your card online, over the phone and at the millions of places that accept Visa debit cards—including supermarkets, pharmacies, clothing stores, drug stores, and more. There are some guidelines for special transactions that you should be aware of before you shop - refer to the next two questions for more information.
Are there any special types of transactions I should know about before I shop?
There are special types of transactions that you should know about.
Gas Stations - Paying at the pump may cause a hold of up to $100; consider paying inside with the attendant for the exact amount and signing the receipt instead.
Restaurants - Restaurants may verify you have enough money on your card for the dining bill. Make sure you have enough funds to cover any added tip.
Hotels - Hotels may put a "hold" on the amount of your estimated bill, making that amount unavailable for other purchases. When you check out, that hold may take a few days to be removed.
Auto Rentals - You may use your card for final payment for a rental car bill, but a credit card may be necessary to reserve a rental car.
Returning purchases - Store return policies may vary. You may receive a credit to your card, a cash refund or even a store credit, depending on the particular store. A credit to your account may take up to one week to process before it's available for use.
Paying Bills – Pay just about any one-time or recurring bill.
Is there a limit to the amount of money I can add to my Visa Prepaid Card?
The minimum amount of the initial value load is $10.00. The minimum amount of each value reload is $10.00. If you load your Card at a Green Dot or Western Union location, the maximum amount of each initial value load is $950.00, the maximum amount of each value reload is $950.00 and you are limited to ten (10) loads per calendar month (not including direct deposit). The maximum amount of the initial value load for Direct Deposit is $10,000.00; the maximum amount of each value reload is $10,000.00. The maximum amount of the initial value load via ACH from a checking or savings account or Card to Card transfer is $500.00, the maximum amount of each value reload is $500.00. The maximum number of times you may load your Card per day via Direct Deposit or ACH from a checking or savings account is one (1). The maximum value of your Card is restricted to $10,000.00.
What should I do when I've spent the original amount I put on the card?
In most cases, you can simply add more money to your card. It's called "reloading" your card. You can add value by using it for direct deposit of payroll, tax returns, or other disbursement, simply provide the direct deposit form provided on your account site. You may also add value at any Greendot and WesternUnion locations. You can find these locations at: www.moneypak.com and www.westernunion.com.
Keep your card—even after the balance is depleted and you decide not to add additional money to it —in case you need to return any purchased items. You might be asked to present the card when returning items purchased with the card.
How do I make a purchase with my Visa Prepaid Card?
Be sure to know your card balance before you shop, as most merchants cannot determine it for you. At the time of purchase, give the card to the cashier and ask to sign the purchase receipt. Or, swipe the card through the keypad and push the "credit" button, then sign the receipt. Each time you use your card, the purchase amount is automatically deducted from your card.
To get cash back when making a purchase, swipe your card and choose the "debit" button, then select the cash back amount you want from the screen options, enter your PIN, and take your cash and receipt to keep track of your balance.
How do I know the balance on my Visa Prepaid Card?
You can check the card balance by visiting https://unitedpayservice.mycardplace.com or by calling 1-866-612-8473. Keeping track of your balance is a sure way to know how much you have to spend.
You may check your balance at an ATM, online at the account site, or call the customer service number 866-612-8473.
What if I want to purchase an item that costs more than the balance on my Visa Prepaid Card?
To make a purchase greater than the balance on your card, you will need to use a second payment method—cash, check, or credit card—to cover the difference. When making your purchase, you must tell the cashier in advance how much to deduct from your card and how much you will pay with the second payment method. However, not all merchants can handle these "split tender" transactions; and, if you try to purchase an item of greater value than your card balance, your card will be declined.
What should I do if my Visa Prepaid Card is declined?
If a transaction is declined, the merchant will let you know. To help prevent this, keep track of your balance by visiting the web site or phone number provided with your card.
What if I change my mind and want to cancel a purchase?
If the merchant cancels a transaction at your request, it may take three to seven days for the authorization hold to be removed from your card.
What if I need to return an item that I purchased with my Visa Prepaid Card?
Present your Visa Prepaid Card at the time of a merchandise return. If the merchant's return policy allows it, the merchant will credit the amount of the purchase back onto your card.
Remember to save your purchase receipts and your card even after the funds have been depleted, in case you have merchandise returns. When returning an item purchased online, have your card number available in order to process the return. The merchandise value will be credited back to your card within three to seven business days.
How long can I use my Visa Prepaid Card?
You can make purchases using your Visa Prepaid Debit card until the expiration date shown on the card, or until the value of the card has been depleted. Once your balance on your card has been deleted, you can add more money to your card at the retail location where you purchased the card or through the direct deposit of your wages, tax refunds, or other disbursements.
UnitedPayService Visa Prepaid Card is issued by The Bancorp Bank pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. The Bancorp Bank; Member FDIC.

All in all, this wasn't a totally horrendous movie; it looked good, Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried looked GOOD-GOOD, it even had a very nice lesbian kiss & grope scene between the lead Hotties, but in the end it was truly doomed by the awful writing of Diablo Colby, or whatever her name is.
Devil Coby's writing (mostly when it comes to dialogue and monologue) is so callow, annoying, putrid, and painful to listen to, that I have no choice to assume that she's decided to use her writing to spark trendy new buzz-words and phrases, pretty much with every other line. No one talks like that Devil Coby, not unless they're 14 or mentally slow. By trying to show how hip and "in touch"" she is with the Teen world, she proves just how much she really isn't.
Example(s) Taken from IMDB because I refuse to remember them on my own:
"I need you hopeless." (What? Who the fuck says that?)
"You need a mani-pedi bad. You should find a Chinese chick to buff your situation." (Maybe the perfect example of Cody's suck.)
"These are like smart bombs, you point them in the right direction and shit gets real." (Do kids who talk like this really not know how lame they sound?)
"I just got Aquamarine on DVD. It's about a girl who's, like, half sushi. She must have had sex with a blowhole or something." (What does this even mean?)
[Having been stabbed in the stomach and bleeding profusely] "Got a tampon?" (Oh, that's funny. I get it.) "You're totally lesbi-gay." (Stop making stuff up! Right now!)
It's really better to mute the movie and just watch and try to guess what's happening, rather than suffer the trendy crap Coby spews.. The story itself was cheesy and predictable, but at least the actors made it far more interesting than it should have been. Yes, even Megan Fox, and we all know she can't act her way out of a dirty hamper. Again, unless you're a Teen who hasn't developed taste yet, or a mentally challenged adult, skip this one when it hits DVD. You won't be missing a thing. Except the kissing scene, which was seriously fantastic.
I don't know, maybe I'm being picky lately, but this one just made me say "meh" after it was all said and done. It was good, had gorgeous locations, and I loved the cast; Olyphant and Zahn alone make most things watchable, and Mila... well, she's just special. Need I mention why Marley Shelton is so damned special? Throw in Nikki from L O S T, and I'm pretty much all set... so then why did it feel lack luster?
I liked the guessing game of it all, the twists and turns if you will, though some of it felt pretty obvious. I'm going to chalk it up to seeing it at the wrong time I think. When it hits DVD I'll pick it up and watch it again, and maybe it will please me more than it did this time. I think you should check it out, and let me know if it was better than I initially thought.

CLINTON — It's not one of the better-liked events in a track and field meet, but it suits Jason Banker just fine. And, in a short time, the Clinton High senior has become one of the state's best in the 400-meter hurdles.
Saturday, Banker will run with the rest of the best at the Drake Relays, one of 15 area entrants at the prestigious meet. He made the elite field of eight when he ran this season's fourth-fastest time in any class at last Tuesday's Gateway Classic.
While that 54.77-second clocking is well off the CHS record, it's astonishing since it's a new event for him.
"Absolutely," Banker said when asked if he had surprised himself with how well he has done. "I didn't think I'd have a chance (at Drake)."
But Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. he'll find himself on the blue oval at Drake Stadium, getting ready to run in an event he never even tried until this spring. By the time the state meet rolls around in May, he might be able to contend for the Class 4A title.
Running on the Drake track is not new for Banker. Last year, he qualified for state in the 400-meter dash and also ran the second leg on the River Kings' 1,600-meter relay unit that took fifth in the state meet at Drake Stadium. He also will compete in that event at Drake — with three new teammates — but he can focus more on his individual events this season.
"Last year we were more focused on the four-by-4(00)," he said. "This year, I thought I'd give it a try. Coach said that I could do decent."
He did better than decent from the start. While he still needs work in the technical aspects of the race, Banker's experience in the open 400 has benefited him well in the hurdles event.
"I like it more than the open 400," he said. "The hurdles break up the race into 10 to 11 different parts. Being a 400 runner, it's (an advantage) at the beginning and end where you go as fast as you can. I feel like my 400 experience gives me some endurance at the end."
The Drake experience should give Banker an idea of where he stands among the statewide competition. Then, he can try to get his times closer to those of school record-holder Ethan Holmes (52.47), who won the state title in the event in 2008 and was second in 2009.

Car Safety Tips
As more cars crowd the roads, it is important as ever for adults and children to take safety measures while riding or driving in the car. Here are some tips to help you reach your destination safely:
- Make sure children are safely buckled as well as yourself. When buckling up in the car, make it a habit to assure everyone is safely buckled before the starting the car. Safely buckled means
1) using all straps, not just the lap belt
2) One person per buckle and
3) Young or short children (5′ 2″ or under) in the backseat.
Passenger-side airbags are designed for normal-height adults. If deployed, the airbag creates a safety hazard for children or short people sitting in the passenger seat.
- Do not use cell phones while driving the car. Pull over to the side of the road to make and complete your call. There are three reasons it is not safe to talk on the cell phone while driving:
1) You must look away from the road while dialing or hanging up.
2) Your attention is elsewhere while completing the conversation and
3) In the case of hand-held telephones, you lose mobility as you juggle the telephone.

CureSearch for Children's Cancer funds and supportstargeted and innovative children's cancer research with measurableresults, and is the authoritative source of information and resourcesfor all those affected by children's cancer.
On Saturday, June 14 thousands of Walkers gathered to celebrate the 9th Omaha CureSearch Walk. Fifty teams worked together to raise more than $188,000 to help fund critical children's cancer research.
The Omaha CureSearch Walk, the inaugural CureSearch Walk, has raised more than 1.3 million dollars during its nine years. What started in Omaha has grown into a national event with more than 50 Walks across the country.
Chris Chapman from the morning show on channel 104.5 and Amanda Solerto, Miss Nebraska USA, were welcomed by CureSearch Community Development Manager Eric Robinson and spoke to the crowd about the importance of continued funding of children's cancer research.
The Walk recognized all those children currently facing cancer treatment, and those who are survivors through a medal ceremony where they were name CureSearch Champions. Children who lost their battle were also recognized through a balloon ceremony. Children of all ages enjoyed a day of activities.
The Walk committee and Omaha community are already looking forward to next year's event and continuing to celebrate their heroes in treatment while raising important funds for children's cancer research.

Hey, supporters and interested onlookers!
As you know, we've been hard at work over the past few months on The Gallery: Six Elements. Our first offering for backers, The Exploration School, is intended to be a small pre-Alpha look at The Gallery: Six Elements. What do we mean by "pre-Alpha"? What we want to give backers is a very early taste of some of the environments and experiences you'll enjoy in our game…warts and all!
The good news is that we are very close to finishing The Exploration School!
The Inverse Pyramid
During our campaign we talked about our "Inverse Pyramid" approach to peripheral support. Our "star peripherals" being the Oculus Rift and the Razer Hydra. It is because of this approach that we've been able to create what we feel is a bar-setting example of proper Oculus Rift & Hydra integration. In fact, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that we are literally doing things in videogames that haven't been done before because of these two technologies. That's an extremely rare and thrilling thing to be able to say in this day and age!
We want The Gallery: Six Elements to be a rewarding and fun experience for users of standard peripherals as well (keyboard, mouse, gamepad and monitor), and we've been working hard to make that a reality. Because of our team's small size and the complexity of the task, this aspect of production is time consuming. Refining the player controller, arguably the most important part of any videogame in terms of quality of experience, and ensuring complete peripheral support across the line is our short-term focus right now. Funny enough, creating the environments and puzzle interactions has been the easiest part of our journey.
So that being said, we're working hard to cross the finish line on The Exploration School, but we don't want to leave anyone out in the cold. We could potentially release an Oculus/Hydra version of the school to backers ahead of other implemented control schemes, but we're not sure that would be a fair situation to all backers. Instead we've decided to keep pushing for a more comprehensive experience for all input methods. It's a delay we think will be worth the extra time and we hope you understand our position.
We'll keep you all in the loop as we make additional progress. Thanks again for all your generous support, and we are incredibly excited to share this experience with all of you!
~ The Gallery Team
Just in case you missed it on our last update, here's more from the deeper realms of The Exploration School!

Aww, Man: No-Fun Mississippi House Bill Seeks to Outlaw Animal-Human Hybrids
Look, nobody expected Mississippi to be this shining bastion of liberalism, lovingly welcoming every transhumanist-animal-hybrid-Singulatarian to cross its borders. But unfortunately, in its quest to further criminalize and stigmatize abortion by explicitly defining personhood, Mississippi may have gone one step too far: House Bill 819, the Protection of the Human Person Act (PDF), would outlaw human-animal hybrids like animorphs, which should strike outrage in the heart of every '90s kid who loved the sci fi series.

New Bayonetta 2 Trailer
I'm just going to leave this Bayonetta 2 trailer here for you to watch. Enjoy.
Hyrule Warriors Coming in 2014
Do you remember back a year or two ago when Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition had a baby that was called Pokemon Conquest? I thought that was a game that wasn't going to work, but turns out it was pretty awesome. Well, not content to let Pokemon have all the fun Nintendo, during today's Nintendo Direct presentation, thought it was Link's turn.
Nintendo and Tecmo Koei are working together to bring their latest mash up project to life. It mixes the Legend of Zelda with Dynasty Warriors and looks pretty interesting. Link is running around Hyrule Field battling hordes of Moblins, and other Zelda baddies along with some Hyrulian soldiers. Check out this trailer to see a little bit more about the game.
The game is currently being called Hyrule Warriors, but according to the trailer that is a working title and could be subject to change. Visually it looks a little bit like a mix of Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time. Link has all his familiar moves like the spinning blade attack, bombs and even a really cool looking Din's Fire spell. Not a lot of details about the game are available just yet, but it will be coming to Wii U sometime in 2014.
LEGO The Hobbit Gets Its First Trailer
I saw commercials over this past weekend for the LEGO The Hobbit playsets. Now, Warner Bros. has been kind enough to send out the first trailer for the upcoming LEGO The Hobbit video game. The game will take you through the events of the first two movies in Peter Jackson's epic Trilogy (based on the books by JRR Tolkien) that takes place before the events of The Lord of the Rings and details Bilbo's adventures with a band of dwarves and tells the story of how he came to possess the One Ring.
LEGO The Hobbit hits Xbox One®, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Wii U™, Nintendo 3DS™, PlayStation® Vita, and PC in Spring of 2014.
Wii U "The Pitch"
One of the biggest problems I've seen, and I've told many people who've asked, is that people don't know what the Wii U is. A year after the system was released there are still people that think it's an upgrade to the Wii. If that one hurdle could be overcome it could, potentially, lead to an uptick in sales of Nintendo's newest home console. In an effort to combat that misconception Nintendo appears to be ready to tackle the problem head on, as evidenced by their latest commercial.
Literal Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Trailer
Yea. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag launched today. Yes, I've been playing it and will most likely have a review for the game ready some time next week. To celebrate the launch of the game I'm posting my favorite version of the trailer for the game done by Youtube personality Toby Turner.
Batman: Arkham Origins Launches, New Trailer
The new entry in the Arkham franchise launched this past Friday with the release of Batman: Arkham Origins for 360, PS3 and Wii U. The game takes place before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and features some of the action from Batman's early career. Roger Craig Smith takes over as the voice of the caped crusader and Troy Baker takes over for Mark Hamill as the Joker.
To go along with that the PS Vita and the 3DS get their first entries in the series with Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. This game takes place a few months after the events of Arkham Origins and sees Batman facing off against Black Mask. It's also the first game released by Armature Studios. For those not sure who they are that is the company that was formed by some of the head of the Metroid Prime team when they left Retro Studios. The game is a 2.5D side scrolling adventure that uses many of the elements of the console release as well.
To celebrate the launch of the game Warner Bros. has sent out a new trailer.
Collect ALL The Treasure In Renegade Kid's Next Game
We like Renegade Kid a lot. We like the games they make a lot. Treasurenauts has been teased on our podcast numerous times and through Twitter.

Aug 11th 2011 3:02PM I'm all about the new models... but I think it would be a lot easier for Blizz to just add a menu to switch between models in the Options Menu, and have the ability to select which models of each race and gender you want to see, so you can mix and match if certain models aren't your cup of tea.
Breakfast Topic: What item slot would you create? {WoW}
Aug 11th 2011 9:31AM Aww man you beat me to it! I was gonna say almost the same thing. Except I was thinking something around the lines of having it set up similar to the tabard system, so you would't really have to have tattoos that buffed your character for those who aren't into the whole idea of inking up their character.
But you could have special rare ones that did certain things, sort of like how certain tabards can port your places.
The only issue I see with the tatt system would be that you're covered in armor so you wouldn't be able to see them unless they were on your face, unless Blizz made it to where if you have tatts equiped, your chest armor goes sleevless lol.

Aug 8th 2011 2:23PM Thought of another one. As much as I know this wouldn't happen because Blizz would say its too much work for the art team, I'd like to see each race have their own style of armor.
Very time consuming for the art team, and would give more reason for people to complain that their races class armor doesn't look as good as this races class, blah blah blah... but still, would be interesting to see this idea come to life.
Breakfast Topic: What would you like to see implemented in WoW? {WoW}
Aug 8th 2011 2:17PM I would love to see updated models. For as old as the game is getting, everything released with Caty is gorgeous... but not so on my outdated vanilla toons.
And while they are at it, add more customization to the characters too like height, weight, muscles, noses, mouths, ears, hair legnth slider, square jaw, round jaw, eye color, tattoos, piercings, etc etc.
If we have to run around looking like everyone else in the same tiered armor, let us have at least our indivuality in our faces/bodies!
Breakfast Topic: What would you like to see implemented in WoW? {WoW}
Aug 8th 2011 2:11PM I would love to see this happen. It could aslo open up a new type of interior design profession that could be used as a secondary like fishing and first aid. So a tailor could pick this up and make tapestries that can be displayed with the guild logo, or some epic battle that a recipie falls off a boss. A leatherworker - furniture. Blacksmith - guild vaults, fireplaces, or iron maidens if thats your thing. The list can just go on an on with this.
Even having sigle player housing for those who don't want to be in guilds would be nice. Also having the option of having a friends list of those who can access your house.
And one thing (I'm stealing this idea from EQ2) I always enjoyed was these special lore quests that once you finished them it gave you items to display in your house.

How far apart should mountain laurel be planted so that it forms a sold laurel garden? while it is spreading to fill in, what can i plant in between to discourage weeds? thanks. |

You could space them anywhere from about 2-3' to 5'. Depends in part on the growing conditions. Kalmias will grow best with abundant rainfall, acid organic, sandy soil (pH 5.5), bright light or even some sun. Even then, they won't grow very fast. Closer spacing will mean more solid coverage quicker. Depends on whether you are using local seedling plants or named varieties too. The 'littleleaf' varieties (Elf, Minuet, Tiddlywinks) will grow slower and smaller. Seedling plants, especially field grown, will perhaps grow faster and get bigger. Everybody from the east, especially mountain areas, will tell you that they have seen laurels up to 20-30' -- I have too -- but they won't get that size in a garden in your lifetime, and probably never. Cover the ground between with oak leaves, chopped, the best laurel mulch there is. You can also use any number of groundcover plants adapted to acid woodland soil. Becasue you asked about laurels and they are among my favorite garden plants, I HAVE to show you a few pictures, taken yesterday, just as the laurels are really starting their 3 week display: Carousel: Peppermint The incredible red buds of 'Raspberry Glow' 'Yankee Doodle' with Brunnera 'Jack Frost' A nice Hosta 'I-forget-the-name' with Kalmia 'Little Linda' A border of Kalmias in Michigan, zone 5, full sun, raised bed (Elf in the foreground, Olypic Fire the tall red-budded form) |

Where can I purchase 3 solid white blooming kalmias? |
- Posted by ArborBluffGirl 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 2, 04 at 9:48
David, Wonderful pictures! I purchased Carousel last year and it hasn't grown much at all, but it does have some new growth so I know it is hanging in there. Do you purchase your plants as fairly substantial specimens or have you had them for awhile? Do you do anything to kickstart your plants into growing/blooming? |
- Posted by david_5311 Z 5b/6a SE Mich (My Page) on Wed, Jun 2, 04 at 9:52
Elf is a good cultivar, also Snowdrift. Elf will be smaller and has the smaller leaf form. Kalmias are not generally very available in the midwest, they are little known, have a reputation of being hard to grow (they are, somewhat, you can't just dig a hole in the alkaline clay and expect them to grow), and not hardy (untrue, the vast majority of cultivars are fully zone 5 hardy, they may suffer a bit more damage the first year or two after planting). Try Fairweather Gardens for mailorder Kalmias, they usually have some. You will also I am sure find a few nurseries in the Chicago area that sell laurels. |
thank you so much for the beautiful pictures! |
- Posted by david_5311 Z 5b/6a SE Mich (My Page) on Wed, Jun 2, 04 at 23:04
The best way to buy kalmias in my experience is as field grown plants. They are unfortunately quite hard to find, especially in the midwest and away from most areas of the country where they are native. Generally you will get container and not field grown plants. I have had some for 7-8 years, but they were 2-3' when I got them, and have perhaps increased in size by 50% - slowly, at least here. They do seem to better after the first 2 years of settling in. I have had the great good fortune of being out to Broken Arrow Nursery in CT twice (Kalmia mecca, the nursery of Dick Jaynes, who selected many of the varieties in cultivation). But even better, I have gotten plants from a wholesale grower in Saugatuck MI who grows the finest laurels I have ever seen, on her acid sand. Unfortunately, she is discontinuing her production of kalmias this year. After she is gone, I do not know of any other good midwestern source. |

Hi David, Thank you for your suggestions. |
I have to bump this year-old post just to say how beautiful your laurels are, David! Absolutely gorgeous. I have one little 'Peppermint' from Broken Arrow and I hope it turns out half as nice as yours look. Thanks for the tip about oak leaves too, I'll have to borrow some from a neighbor. |
I have to agree ... I have searched the internet like crazy for pictures of mountain laurel and none are even close to David's border! Are the raised beds made from sand? Any good resource to describe how to construct a raised bed for planting mountain laurel? |

David, It has been two years since you posted these photos, but I just found them... what fabulous photos, and great ideas for perennial plantings with the Mountain Laurels... What an inspiration! Marion |

David, are you still out there? I've been searching the net and the garden web for information on the Minuet I planted last year. Besides the fact that I think I took the sun to full-shade label too literally and it may get too hot in late summer, it also got deer browsed this winter. Additionally there are some discolored leaves (only one small section). Should I cut back where the deer browsed? The discolored leaves? And if so, where do I cut? There's not alot of speicific information out there on this shrub and I'm new to gardening and landscape plants. Any comments would be appreciated. |

text: What sets our brewery apart is the way that it is done. No automated systems leap into action here. Instead, someone will be here to coax the steam engine into life and then climb the stairs in order to rouse the beer by hand, using a paddle, 365 days of the year. At every stage of the process we are close to our product as it rises and falls through the brewery building, so we can be confident that all the systems and processes are working as they should be to help us produce our award-winning beer.
