Myths and misconceptions are common in the world of mosses. As with other generalizations or stereotypes, there may be some measure of truth. To add to the state of confusion, there are plants that have MOSS in their common names that aren't true bryophytes at all. These "Moss Fakers" are listed below.
Mosses live in the shade.>> Partially TRUE >> While some mosses prefer shady habitats, others may tolerate direct sun.
Mosses live in places where grasses won't grow. >> TRUE >> Mosses can thrive on disturbed, nutrient deprived soils where other plants suffer.
Mosses grow on Northern exposures. >> Partially TRUE >> Northern exposures retain more moisture. However, in regions with high rainfall and humidity, mosses will grow all around the base of trees. Don't depend on this myth if you get lost in my neck of the woods.
Mosses need moisture and wet places to grow. >> TRUE >> All mosses need some moisture at some time to survive. While some like extremely moist habitats, there are many bryophytes that grow in the sun. Small niches or microclimates provide mosses with moist habitats even in climates or places not considered "humid or wet."
MOSS FAKERS – Plants with MOSS NAMES that are NOT true bryophytes or mosses.
Spanish Moss – Tillandsia usneoides Bromeliadaceae Flowering angiosperm |
Club Mosses — Lichopods Lichopodaceae and Huperziaceae Spore-bearing plants called fern allies |
Reindeer Moss – Cladonia rangiferina Cladoniaceae Lichen |
Irish Moss/Scotch Moss These vascular plants come in pots… hint… because they have ROOTS! No true moss or bryophyte will ever have roots, flowers or seeds. |

Myth – many people think of moss as slimy, relating to mold and even germs. In fact, moss is anti-microbial, and in a pinch can be used as a wound dressing. (Comment subject to your verification, of course!)

Hey Laura,
Moss is not SLIMY… and Sphagnum mosses are 99% bacteria free. And yes, Sphagnum species were used as bandages in World War I… actually more sanitary and absorbed way better than cotton bandages. As for your FAV moss… it's so hard to pick just one… BUT I do LOVE Climacium, too. Right now, my own Climacium mosses are amazing… HUGE old growth that is fading to dull olive green to bronze colors with brilliant emerald green new shoots appearing on older growth. Several are displaying their multiple sporophytes originating from the same spot… like tiny feathers grouped together (similar spore capsule to Atrichum… long and cylindrical, shiny dark brown). Climacium likes shade but tolerates some sun. I've located it in a range of environments from boggy soil to healthy colonies growing on top of boulders to old, abandoned stone patios to major infiltration in grass lawns. It grows really well from plant fragments. Give your Climacium a "haircut" this fall… trimming off tops of older growth… and spread them out. Water and walk on them. By spring, you'll be delighted to see new areas of your FAV moss! Go Green With Climacium Moss! Mossin' Annie -

Hello! I wanted to purchase Irish Moss but I don't see it on here. Do you have any available? Please email me back if you can. I would appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Hey Kristen,
We do not sell Irish moss. It is not a true moss (bryophyte) but rather a vascular plant. It has flowers, seeds and roots. It doesn't have the outstanding characteristics of real mosses to tolerate cold, pests or diseases. Sorry we cannot help you with this request. If you decide you'd like to try moss in your garden, please contact us back.
Go Green With Mosses!

A current controlled voltage source produces a voltage that is linearly proportional to a current. A resistor has the same behavior. And the gain for a CCVS is measured in ohms, which is the same unit that measures a resistor. So what is the difference between them? Is a resistor just a kind of CCVS (and I guess also a VCCS) and if so, how does it differ from an ideal CCVS?
A resistor is a passive component. A current controlled voltage source is an active component i.e. the voltage will remain proportional to the current controlling it regardless of what else is connected to the source (ideally). |
A nice graphic answering one half of the question I don't remember the source of this, since I have stored on my HD |
A resistor produces a voltage that is linearly proportional to the current that flows into it. Moreover the polarity of the voltage is fixed too, you can't have current flowing in a resistor from A to B and have \$V_B>V_A\$. A CCVS can be controlled by any current in the network, possibly the one that flows through it but again, this time you get the freedom to choose the voltage polarity. |
The following two ideal circuit elements have identical terminal characteristics and are thus indistinguishable: simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab Thus, if the controlling variable of a CCVS is the current through the CCVS, the CCVS is indistinguishable from a resistor where the gain of the CCVS is the resistance. If the controlling variable of a CCVS is the current through another circuit element, the gain is the transresistance. |
A circuit that is called voltage "SOURCE" must be able to deliver the output to any connected load - otherwise it is not really a "source". Hence, it must have a very small source resistance (ideal: zero). This is the main feature of an active CCVS. |

Breakfast Topic: How old is your character? {WoW}
Jun 13th 2009 6:55PM I have more than several toons, but but I don't really RP, so they don't really have a backstory. I suppose if I were to make one up really quick, it would be for one of my 80's....my paladin.
Christyana is in her mid 30's, born just before the First War, and is a second cousin of Bolvar Fordragon (whom she looked up to as her hero). A fresh recruit into the Knights of the Silver Hand, she was present at the beginning of Arthas' culling of Stratholme. She sided with those who were against Arthas' decision, and was among the knights that were disbanded.
When Arthas returned and started killing the paladins whom he felt had betrayed him, Christyana fled Azeroth in exile to the far kingdom of Tamriel, where she continued to hone her skills as a paladin. She joined the Fighters Guild, quickly climbing the ranks as they had never seen power and skill of a Paladin, a "holy warrior", before. She was living in the town of Kvatch, when the Daedric army from Oblivion attacked. Again driven from her home, she joined in the fight against the Daedric lords and eventually defeated Mehrunes Dagon to save Tamriel.
Enjoying peace once again, she heard word from home that paladins are no longer unwelcome, so she returned to Azeroth a skilled warrior of the Holy Light. Now, she learns her cousin, Bolvar Fordragon, has been struck down in battle after facing the Lich King, Arthas himself (though killed by the forsaken's poisonous gas). She has once again taken up arms to avenge Bolvar and protect her homeland against the evil scourge.
Arcane Brilliance: Reaching the hit cap {WoW}
Jun 8th 2009 2:26PM I have a FFB mage (w/precision)that's currently running Ulduar 10. I normally try to keep my hit rate at around 325-ish (no hit gems, and only Icewalker), but at the moment, I'm sitting at 338 (12.89% of the 14%). If there's class that offers a raid buff, I'm covered...if not, I keep both hit & sp buff foods on me, so I can easily reach cap by myself just by eating.

A closer look at the School of Hard Knocks {WoW}
May 2nd 2009 9:42PM Yes sir, I sure did. AB and WSG took several tries each. EotS was first try and amazingly easy. AV has been the worst experience by far. Alliance caps the towers, and kills any horde coming close. 40 players, 4 towers....the odds are just not there to make this anything resembling a pleasant time for some. PC's that have lag issues, older hardware (as I have), groups that don't have a pally in them (crusaders aura), etc will have less of a chance to get the AV portion than some other players due to it being a "first come, first serve" race.
As I said, I don't mind the PVP part, I used to spend a LOT of time in BG's....the thinking into this is just not right.
Blizz is also "assuming" there's an air of cooperation between players, but ones same faction is proving to be just as cutthroat as the opposing faction. This just seems to me that the devs do not know what goes on in the game

May 1st 2009 2:58PM Ok....first off, it's a plate SHIRT with stats, something I've never seen "in-game" before. So first thing I'd do would be to look it up and see where it came from. But, since it's not listed on wowhead or thottbot, I'd become suspiscious and start asking questions. And since I know that Bliss has a god complex when it comes to "abusing" the game, I'd be too paranoid to use it and send a ticket out (as I have on other occasions) making sure I wouldn't get in trouble for using it. It's the epitome of "Too Good to be True"!

Travelling with your pet in tow this summer? The beauty of vacationing in Wisconsin is that there are so many ways to enjoy this treasured time off. Some thrive on the thrill of camping, while others opt for a relaxing stay at a posh resort. With all the hot spots youll be visiting, youre bound to get the munchies along the way. This doesnt mean you have to leave Fido in the hotel or cabin. As a matter of fact, most innkeepers will not allow you to leave your pet unattended. Fortunately, Wisconsin restaurateurs are realizing that where theres family, theres a dog. And where theres a dog, let there be food. To make sure you and your pooch are formidable dinner companions, weve captured a few Wisconsin eateries where canine and human appetites will both be satisfied.
Door County If your car is headed true north, youre one lucky dog. Door County is a favorite place for pets to tag along. Dogs are allowed (on leash) at all parks, some beaches and select picnic areas. When the sun goes down, head to Harbor Fish Market & Grille to enjoy waterfront outdoor seating and a doggie menu for your buddy. Fluffy can feast on menu items like Bobs Hound Dog Heaven (a simple beef patty), Statelys Meaty Scramble (diced pit ham with two scrambled eggs) or Sterlings Doggie Kibble (tastes suspiciously like dog food). Plate prices range from $2.50 to $3.95, so its a pretty cheap date. For dessert, trot over to Not Licked Yet, a Door County classic destination point. The Door County Humane Society reports that canine customers accompanied by their humans are entitled to a puppy custard cone. While youre wolfing down a cherry caramel sundae, your pet is satisfying his sweet tooth as well.
Wisconsin DellsTrue, dogs arent allowed on the waterslides, but they are permitted at Gillys Island. Enjoy a sandwich at one of the cozy tables near the sidewalk with your dog by your side. This downtown eatery also features an outdoor beer garden in the back. Your pooch can gaze wistfully at you as you gulp German brew out of a boot-shaped glass.
MadisonWhen schools out, head to Madison, a city that invites dogs and their humans to soak up the sun at every corner. Shop til you drop at Bad Dog Frida, a local pet store oozing with atmosphere. A few steps away is the Green Owl Café, Madisons only vegetarian restaurant. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are allowed to join you on the patio. For those seeking relief from the heat after a day on the trails, slow your pace at Café Zoma. You can leash your dog to one of several metal posts in their big backyard. As manager Rachel Dolnick explains, Were right off of a popular bike path, so we get lots of dogs who join their customers here. Youll cool off with an iced latte; your pooch will be guzzling cold water, readily available.
Milwaukee Theres no better place to enjoy your morning cappuccino than with your dog nearby, at Alterra Café at the Lake on Lincoln Memorial Drive. Dogs are allowed at the outdoor tables (summer months only). Perfect for people-watching or pooch-watching, depending on whos doing the gawking.
Out-of-towners and Milwaukee staycationers will love lodging at The Iron Horse Hotel, where four-legged guests are treated like royalty. An in-room doggy dining menu, front desk water dish, and their name on the lobby room chalk board will make you and your pup feel like jumping on the bed.
As your pack your sunscreen and slip on your flip-flops, rest assured that your dog will be happy to know that dining out this summer doesnt have to leave him in the dust. So grab your keys, make a reservation and take your best friend out to dinner tonight. But dont forget to tip your waiter.

Online Degrees for Graduates and Busy Adults.
Earn College Credit While You're Still in High School.
Welcome! Please feel free to contact our office if you are unable to find the information you are trying to locate, we will be more than happy to assist you.
The undergraduate academic programs at Judson University are rooted in a liberal arts philosophy of education. A liberal arts education seeks to develop the student through interaction with a variety of academic disciplines as well as the development of communication and critical thinking skills.
A liberal arts education is essential for three reasons. First, it equips students to be effective moral agents in a world where ethical decisions must be made on a daily basis. Second, it prepares students for a lifetime of learning and instills the skills of creative thinking, problem solving, human relations and public speaking. A liberal arts curriculum creates dynamic, adaptable learners who will be successful in multiple fields of endeavor. Third, it allows students to better understand and appreciate God's created world. God has provided his creatures with the beauties of art, music, literature, and the sciences, enabling one to glimpse God, to revel in God's creation, to know him and enjoy him thoroughly.
Beyond providing a broader view of the world and developing practical skills, Judson seeks to nourish minds for service to Christ and His kingdom by encouraging the integration of faith, learning, and living, so that students see their intellectual pursuits as service to God and the Church. The very foundation of Christianity responds to the basic questions that a liberal arts education strives to answer: "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" "Where am I going?" "What is the purpose of life?" This Christian worldview provides a context for the information gained and knowledge gleaned, and gives that information and knowledge meaning and purpose beyond the immediacy of the context.

Safety & Travel Smarts
Costa Rica can be counted among the safest countries in Latin America. Since decades, Costa Rica has been the destination for tourists from around the globe, many of them having returned a number of times, because it is such a beautiful and safe place to travel. Not only the low crime-rate, but above all its very friendly inhabitants make this country a perfect holiday destination. Nevertheless, it is still advisable to take standard safety-measures such as:
- Do not leave luggage unattended in your car
- In crowded places, carry your valuables on your body
- Do not leave valuables unattended at the beach
- Take part of your money in traveler cheques or use a credit card
Here at the Hotel Dunn Inn we offer 24-hour security and safety deposit boxes for your valuables.
Adventure Safety
Outside San Jose, specially in the parks, be cautious and respectful of nature. Stay on trails in parks, if you don't, chances are you will get lost. Pay attention to warning signs, recently a tourist decided to ignore a "No swimming. Crocodiles inhabit this pond" warning with tragic consequences. If the trail looks too dangerous, turn back, even if there are no warning signs, this applies specially around volcanoes and mountains. Also, beware of dramatic changes in temperature atop mountains. Do not cross rivers or estuaries that flow into the sea. Rivers can turn into huge torrents in matters of minutes from upstream rain so be cautions while bathing.
Perhaps the most dangerous part of our country are the beaches which every year claim tourist lives. Be very respectful of waves, riptides and the ocean in general. Stay always near other bathers, do not swim into the ocean, even if you are a good swimmer. Be specially wary of open beaches, which tend to prolong in a line, as opposed to safe harbor horse-shoe shaped bays. Be cautious while bathing in any beach with a river mouth.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala Swathantra Malsya Thozhilali Federation (KSMTF) has demanded a day and night patrolling by the coast guard, navy and marine enforcement wings along the waters of Kanyakumari to Mangalore for ensuring the safety of fishermen.
"The fishermen have been apprehensive to sail ever since the murder of two fishermen two weeks ago. Now with another incident of a ship ramming into a fishing boat and killing two fishermen, they are terrified to venture into the sea," T Peter, president, KSMTF told reporters here on Friday.
Marine enforcement and coast guard officials not finding the three fishermen who went missing after their boat was rammed into by an unidentified ship on Thursday, raises questions about the competence of the technology used by our marine forces, Peter said. "There are officials in the marine enforcement who don't even know how to swim," he alleged.

I am trying to help a friend find a bike for his wife. They only want to spend around $300 so that limits it pretty much. I just missed a Giant XTC with LX for that price which would have been perfect.
If anyone has a bike which sounds pretty decent for that price let me know.
Looking for a medium (she is around 5'7"), and just in good shape so she can enjoy some trail riding and see how much she likes it.
Located in Waltham, so anywhere in an hour or so would be great. Further if it sounds really good.

A number of weeks ago I went to a Master Gardeners' sale here in Central Florida. One of the vendors had an attractive plant which I think he called cannabis leaf hibiscus. I saw so many interesting things at the sale that I didn't write down a description of the plant I saw, figuring I could search here or on Google and learn more about it.
However, I get no hits on cannabis hibiscus. Does anyone here know of this plant or a hibiscus with nearly the same sounding name which I have misinterpreted? Thanks - June (who is definitely NOT into cannabis otherwise!) |

How Safe Are Condoms, Really?
Tuesday, December 31st, 2013The Future of Condoms
Monday, November 25th, 2013It's an exciting time to be a condom user.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded eleven $100,000 grants to scientists who designed condoms that people might be more likely to want to wear. The grants will fund research into the condoms' safety, efficacy, and manufacturability. After eighteen months, the winners can apply for a million dollar grant to go toward production and clinical trials.
The winners sound amazing and/or bewildering. One team made a more skin-like condom out of collagen from beef tendons and fish scraps. Another designed a condom out of a material that clings to the skin, so that the condom doesn't have to fit so tightly in order to stay on. Others are creating new, more effective applicators. You can read the full list here.

Detecting Toxic Toys
Friday, November 22nd, 2013Yesterday, Bitch Media ran a piece about the lack of government regulation in the sex toy industry and how this leads to the sale of sex toys made with potentially toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, this is a real problem – one that's old news for us. Sex toys are not regulated by the FDA, and many of them are made with phthalates: plastic-softening chemicals that have been linked to all kinds of icky health problems.
Luckily, there are ways to avoid toys with phthalates. The article mentions using a flame test – lighting a match and holding it against your toy – to determine whether a toy is 100% silicone or not. Silicone toys are non-porous, hypoallergenic, and phthalate free, which makes them totally awesome, and most silicones won't melt when you hold a match up to them. Still, this isn't the best solution, since a) not all phthalate free toys are silicone and b) you'd probably rather find out whether your toy is safe *before* you buy it, take it home, and set it on fire.
Instead, here are a few of our tips for buying a body-safe toy.
1) Read up on materials before you buy. This is a good place to start, but it isn't foolproof, since manufacturers aren't required to list exactly what's in each toy. (So, you could buy a toy that's labeled "silicone" and which is, in fact, only 10% silicone and 90% pure evil.)
2) Do a smell test. The best way to tell if a toy has harmful chemicals is to sniff it. Toys with phthalates will smell kind of cough syrupy, like your plastic toys used to when you were a kid. (Phthalates are now illegal to use in children's toys, which tells you something.) Even a faint, baby powdery smell tells you that there's something to be wary of. The most body-friendly toys won't smell like anything.
3) Ask one of us! The Pleasure Chest staff are a bunch of toy safety nerds, and we can point you toward several brands who make durable, totally safe, high quality products.
Getting Sexy With A Latex Allergy
Monday, November 11th, 2013Latex allergies are growing more and more common as latex appears in greater numbers of consumer products. Unfortunately, this means that more people have to avoid most condoms, many toys, and a lot of fetish wear. Luckily, there are alternatives! Educator, fetish model, and healthcare professional Maggie Mayhem has facts about different kinds of latex allergies, lists of products to avoid, and work-arounds for folks who are both kinky and latex allergic. Educate yourself here.
Common Sex Injuries
Tuesday, October 29th, 2013Apparently, your safer sex supplies should include knee pads and a helmet.
A Less Awful Sex Ed
Friday, September 13th, 2013Did you get sex ed in school? If so, you're very lucky if was better than the usual scripts:
Fourth or fifth grade:
"Soon, you will start to grow hair in places. Your body will change in some ways. Do not be afraid. Here are some artfully-depicted naked grown-ups with no genitals. Also, here is some deodorant and/or enormous pads. Never, ever show them to anyone."
Sixth or seventh grade:
"Here are some diagrams of fetal development."
High School:
"This is a condom. You should use one if you have sex, except you should not be having sex. If you have sex, you will get lots of deadly infections. Here are some close-up photographs of all of the terrible, horrible, confusing things that will definitely happen to your genitals. Also, do you really think you're ready to be a parent? Think of your future."
If you're cringing with the memory of your own sex ed horror story, we suggest washing it down with The Frisky's list of "10 Things Everyone Should Learn in Sex Ed." We would love if schools implemented safer sex curricula that focused on empowering students to make informed choices about barriers, partners, and what they actually want to do. Still, even if your main source of sex ed was that one friend who told you that the hymen grows back every time, it's never too late to learn.
How about you? What do you wish you'd learned? What would you add to a sex ed curriculum?
Ypa! Russian Safer Sex PSAs
Wednesday, August 14th, 2013Get Lucky (Updated)
Thursday, July 11th, 2013Update: Durex claims they had nothing to do with these.
A few weeks ago, we showed you some of our favorite condom designs. And now, we have a new favorite rubber: the Daft Punk condom.
The French dance duo partnered with Durex to make these promotional prophylactics hyping their ridiculously catchy single "Get Lucky." (Push "play" up above to hear it just one more time.)
No word yet on whether the public will be able to get their hands on these condoms. So far, Diplo is one of the lucky few.

Gear Review
Runs small
I got two pair of the arto pants in size 32 because I have found it is hard to tell what the color really looks like in the photos. The Aged Indigo are 100% cotton (unlike the Analog site says) and I could hardly get them on. They were the tightest fitting Regular cut (according to the tag on the pants) pants I have ever worn. I also got the Aged Blue Grey, which is 98% cotton and 2% spandex. These ones fit better, but were still too tight in the thighs for my preference. I have two pair of the Analog Stephan pants in size 32 and they fit perfect. These on the other hand fit a bit snug. I decided to try the Aged Blue Grey in 34 because I liked the color more. They fit well in the thighs and waist, but are a little long in the legs and I will probably have to hem them up. Also not that big of a fan of the button fly.
- Aged Indigo run small and are 100% cotton
- Aged Blue Grey also run small, but not as small, and are 98% cotton and 2% spandex.
- Size up if you like a little room, but not the amount given by relaxed fit.

Ed Reno Magician |
Interested in Magic? Ed was a magician that did not do any of the "big box tricks" which became popular with Harry Houdini. Ed's show was that today we call "street magic" or "up close" magic. He did his magic while giving a constant flow of clean jokes and funny little quips. Today, this type of magic is coming back into favor. One show that we have seen and highly recommend is Warren Gibson's "Warren and Annabelles" in Lahaina Maui. If you ever get to visit Maui, Hawaii, be sure to book your reservation to this GREAT show. It is highly recommended to book at least one week in advance, and two weeks would be better. Click on the link below to preview the show and book your reservations. http://www.warrenandannabelles.com/ Please visit the following sites for more information on magic, magic history, and magic tricks. http://www.floraco.com/lyceum/ History of the Chautauqua and Lyceum circuits. http://www.magicposters.com/strobridge/1201art.html If you are interested in collecting magic posters and window cards, this site does a fine job of explaining the hobby. http://www.mymagic.com/magichistory/magis/reno-ed/index.html This site is selling window cards of Ed Reno. These window cards are new but do have a little misprint just below Ed' right shoulder. These cards do not have "Redpath" in the border, so they were used by Ed after 1929 when the Redpath Circuit closed down. Their price is very reasonable. http://www.magictricks.com/sitemap.htm Great site for memorabilia, posters and magic tricks. Has biographies on hundreds of magicians. |

Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's office—has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it's not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first—this being Hiaasen country—Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy's new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen's greatest characters.
Here is Hiaasen doing what he does better than anyone else: spinning a tale at once fiercely pointed and wickedly funny in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what's left of pristine Florida—now, of the Bahamas as well—get their comeuppance in mordantly ingenious, diabolically entertaining fashion.

Brunswick: Trophy plant closing; Sea Ray trims ranks
Posted onBrunswick Corp. plans to close its Cumberland, Md., plant and transfer production of Trophy offshore fishing boats to a plant in Ashland City, Tenn.
Manufacturing will cease at the Maryland plant at the end of the year, and about 115 production and support positions will be eliminated.
The Cumberland plant also will observe three weeks of furlough, during which time all boat production is temporarily stopped while the phase-out is completed, company officials said.
"As we deal with the global economic downturn and its impact on recreational marine markets, we are continuing to shrink our North American manufacturing footprint," Brunswick chairman and CEO Dustan E. McCoy said in a statement. "This decision is no reflection upon the Cumberland work force or product, but the result of our need to develop a more efficient manufacturing footprint."
In the last two years, Lake Forest, Ill.-based Brunswick has closed 12 other North American boatbuilding plants.
Click here for the complete release.
In other Brunswick news, Sea Ray has laid off approximately 60 employees at its Product Development and Engineering center in Merritt Island, Fla. This includes hourly and salaried employees.
"This was done as an effort to more appropriately size our work force for the current U.S. marine market," said Dan Kubera, a spokesman for Brunswick, which owns Sea Ray.
The PD&E had approximately 255 employees at the end of October.

W E Hoover Elementary School Reviews
So far so good. I sm very pleased with the help Hannah has gotten. If she has a question about a problem in whatever subject, the teachers are always willing to help. In the past, Hannah has gotten comments from the teachers like, " I have explained this already. " Or " You should know this." VERY immature comments. And very lazy. But this hasn't happened at Hoover. I couldn't say enough good things about this school. My daughter has type 1 diabetes and the nurse at Hoover is excellent. Very kind and Hannah likes her a lot. Thanks Hoover for all you have done for Hannah.

"270AException to restrictions on community punishments

(a)that the offender was aged 16 or over when convicted of the current offence;
(b)that on three or more previous occasions the offender has been awarded a relevant financial penalty; and
(c)that the court, having regard to all the circumstances, considers that it would be in the interests of justice to award a community punishment.

(a)passed on the offender in respect of a service offence, or member State service offence, committed by the offender when aged 16 or over;
(b)passed on the offender on conviction by a civilian court in the British Islands of an offence so committed; or

(i)was the subject of proceedings under the law governing all or any of the naval, military or air forces of a member State other than the United Kingdom; and
(ii)would constitute a service offence or an offence under the law of any part of the United Kingdom if it were committed in any part of the United Kingdom, by a person subject to service law, at the time of the conviction of the current offence;
(b)"relevant offence" means an offence which would constitute an offence under the law of any part of the United Kingdom if it were committed in any part of the United Kingdom at the time of the conviction of the current offence."

Nessa | |
System | |
Areas 3 (Spectrobes)
2 (Beyond the Portals) |
Nessa is the fourth planet in the Nanairo system. It is a desert planet. has three areas the player needs to explore with areas 1 and 3 being part of the story. Nessa is home of the ruins, a giant spaceship created by the ancients to explore distant places within the universe.
[show]Area 1 (Lilton) Edit
This area is the only city on Nessa. It is home to excavation teams and Cyrus, a rare-item collector. Rallen needed to bargain with him twice on his journey, once for a rare cube and once for the blue keystone, the latter being given to him for the first barter. Nessa Area 1 is also where the mineral selling man appears, Rallen, if he is in need for money, may sell him minerals to get gura, the more precious the more gura Rallen gets.
Area 2 (Desert) Edit
Area 2 is a desert area that is a major necessity to the story itself, not needed to complete the story. Usually if battle krawl in this desolite environment you'll fight cactswars more than any other krawl. Area 2's landscape is lighter that that of Area 3's.
Area 3 (Ruins) Edit
This area is undoubtedly the most important area of Nessa. It's where Nessa's ruins stand. Rallen must explore the place and retrieve the blue keystone for Cyrus, and exploring it again to activate the ruin's spaceship control. Nessa Area 3's landscape is darker than Nessa Area 2's and have more black vortexes, but this area is a goldmine of minerals with more B and A minerals than the other areas of Daichi, Genshi and Nessa itself, aside from the Tabletop Mountains.
Role in the Games Edit
Nessa is very important in the games, as it is commonly explored because of its many unusual minerals. It's more important because Cyrus resides here, and he is involved in giving Rallen key items to aid him in his quest. Also because of the fact that it is the planet that you obtain the ancient starship.
Spectrobes: Beyond the PortalsEdit
Nessa in Spectrobes Beyond the Portals is mostly used to sell the minerals you buy.

Clayton News Daily
By Daniel Silliman
email@example.com It's not just tickets. Increasing traffic patrols and stops has decreased crime rates in the city of Morrow, according to Police Chief Jeff Baker. In one year, burglaries dropped from 51 to 28; robberies dropped from 33 to 25; motor vehicle thefts dropped from 98 to 85, and larcenies fell from 762 to 485, according to department statistics. There were about 100 fewer accidents in the city, and there were 26 fewer accidents with injuries. "It's more than just a chance that that happens," said Baker, who has been the chief for three years. "It's a strategy." Baker said the number of traffic stops and time spent on traffic patrols is directly related to the drop in other crimes. During the month of October, department statistics show, police wrote 144 seat-belt tickets, 23 child-seat tickets, 123 speeding tickets and 37 reckless-driving tickets. As of the most recent totals, taken two weeks ago, the department had written 1,231 seat-belt tickets, 233 child-seat tickets, 1,491 speeding tickets, and 178 reckless-driving tickets. A police force that is known for making traffic stops, Baker said, is known for always being present. And a force that's known for being present is one that will scare away would-be criminals. "People think that they're just writing tickets," the chief said, "but that's just not the case. When you see the guys out there, that's a natural deterrent." For the last two years, the Morrow Department has received a Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety traffic enforcement grant. It recently received more than $30,000 from the office's Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic (HEAT) project. The city has used the money to pay for officers' equipment and emphasize traffic enforcement in the city and on Interstate 75 where it passes through Morrow. The HEAT project is dedicated to reducing crashes caused by impaired drivers, reducing speeding, increasing seat-belt usage, and educating the public on traffic safety. With the HEAT grant, the five-officer HEAT unit is making Morrow safer, on and off the road, Baker said. After receiving the grant, Baker outfitted the unit with Dodge Chargers and special uniforms, and turned the department's attention on traffic. The move seemed especially needed, because the city's daytime, shopping population crowds the roads. The Morrow officers increased the number of drunk drivers apprehended, for example, by 100 percent, that first year. It looks, Baker said, like this year's final numbers will show a second, 100 percent increase. But the department soon saw an added, off-the-road benefit: As the traffic stops increased, other crime rates dropped, too. The department does not have ticket quotas, Baker said. Productivity calculations count a traffic warning as equal to a ticket, so the officer has no incentive to write a ticket. The department's productivity calculations do push officers to be visible throughout their shift, however, and to be attentive to traffic violations. "The main thing we want to do is continue these reductions in crime numbers," Baker said. "That's what's important to me. That's what I focus on."More like this story

Christmas at Disneyland Videos and Information
Nov 18th
Here are a few great videos about what Disneyland does at Christmas time – this is a very special time of the year at the parks. Bookmark this page because we will add more as we find them. This page is iPhone compatible, however, we have noticed that the videos won't play inside the MouseWait Android app – but if you go to this page in the regular Android browser it will work – http://mousewait.com/blog
The segment that shows how the Candy Canes are made is at 7:00 on the first video. I believe they make 3 batches a day, 45 each batch, starting on Nov 26 this year, so only around 1000 are made per season. You can see the Disneyland Candy Cane schedule here for 2010.

MouseWait user @abefromen was nice enough to post some great places in the parks where you could charge your iPhone (which is always an issue at Disneyland, especially when you are working your iPhone overtime).

I LOVE this recipe, and it was a huge it at my last party. Everyone asked for the recipe. It thickens, but I served it in a ceramic fondu pot and just added more beer when necessary. Delicious!
I followed the recipe exactly with two modifications: I omitted the Serrano chile (a member of the family does not like chile heat), and I doubled the recipe. While I liked the flavor, the consistency was like rubber or a very stiff taffy, even when it was very warm. Because my family liked (yet didn't love) the flavor, I'd be willing to try it again if I know what did I do wrong, if anything?
This was so good!! It was a hit with my guests at our Christmas in November party this year. Keeping it in the skillet made for easy serving and easy clean-up.

Find a local acupuncturist
near you...
To search by other criteria - name, town - click hereI have had 8 sessions of accupuncture for IBS and the menopause and as yet have felt no benefit. Can you suggest when I should start to feel benefits, the cost is adding up.
There are no set rules for how long it may take for treatment to show benefits, and most practitioners have lived to regret promising change within a set number of treatments. From a Chinese medicine perspective the symptoms are often less important than the underlying patterns to which the diagnostic systems relate, and this can sometimes lead to confusing anomalies - a serious condition based on a relatively simple imbalance can sometimes clear as if by magic, whereas a minor condition based on a complex chronic imbalance can be almost intractable.
All that a practitioner can do is to ensure that they review the situation on a regular basis with the patient. We don't make any stipulations, but most members have often drawn a line at four or five sessions, sometimes a few more, and discussed with a patient how well things are going. Even where the main condition may not have changed at all, there may be changes to diagnostic signs which indicate that there will be progress. If there aren't then the practitioner should acknowledge that there are some people for who acupuncture doesn't work, and work with you to see what other alternatives there may be which suit you better.

When is a good time to start picking basil? When its tall and bushy or when its short and not very bushy? Because i dont know when i was supposed to pick it, so right now it is about 2-6" tall and really bushy. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Gardener, I pick my basil all summer long, never letting it flower by snipping off the buds. I pick several stems off the plant to make pesto which goes in the freezer, like everything else I grow around here. If you are growing it to dry, you can pick it any time before it flowers. Also you can pick what you need to go with tomatoes, top pizza. etc. Bella |
- Posted by the_gardener_1998 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 16, 09 at 13:09
Bella, my basil hasnt started to flower yet. do you snip all the leaves off at once or do just a few at a time? right now i think im going to put it in my salsa. |
The best time to pick is before it flowers. You can delay flowering by cutting off the flower buds, but the plant will get determined and the leaves will gradually get bitter anyway. The leaves get bitter after it flowers, though some people continue to eat it anyway. When basil is small, you should snip off the central rosette of leaves every couple of weeks to encourage it to branch and bush out. You can harvest a few leaves at a time or strip them all off at once. If you strip them all off, there's a chance the plant will die, but it might also come back. I stripped all of mine last week and made a big batch of pesto. |

Gamebird, My basil hasnt started to flower yet so im good there. Today I went out to my garden to pick some leaves off of it and I only picked 4 leaves off of it. I didnt know what I was supposed to do so I just left it alone so it could grow how it wanted to and its pretty bushy. I didnt pick any leaves and its still bushy. Did your plant survive or did it die when you picked all the leaves off? Corin |
They look fine. They're kind of stick-like because they're mostly just stems now, but the stems are green and where there's a few leaves I missed, those are green and healthy looking and not wilted. I had a dozen plants that were big enough to pick. One of them looks like the top inch of stem will die back. I expect they will regrow leaves. At least that's what I've read. Then I'll strip them again and make another batch of pesto, assuming the leaves that regrow aren't bitter. I'm not a fan of bitter basil. |
Corin, You can snip off the stems with the leaves intact as long as you don't cut off more than 1/3 of the plant at a time. Cutting closer to the top will give you bushier plants. Cutting earlier in their growth while they still are fairly short will give you taller plants. Some people just strip off the leaves, which is fine if you want to go that route. I don't like the look of bare stems and find I get better and faster regrowth if I snip stems and all. Some people like to let them flower because they use the flowers for garnishes or for herbal swags, but I don't. I think letting them flowers causes the bitterness in the leaves. After you cut the stems and bring them indoors, if you choose to harvest that way, you can strip the leaves off immediately and use them fresh, or let the leaves remain on the stems and dry. Then you can crumble the leaves and store them in an airtight container for dried basil. I grow ten or twelve kinds of basil some years and only 3 or 4 other years. If I get tired of harvesting and drying all the basil, I just let the plants flower and go to seed in the garden. The tiny beneficial insects love the flowers, and the seeds give me numerous volunteer plants the following spring. Dawn |

It's St. Patrick's Day today, a holiday celebrated more by college kids than anyone else, but still a holiday, even if no one gets the day off work. And because it's a holiday, that means special shoes for some of your favorite NBA players. Like clockwork, some of your favorite brands are bringing out special colorways for that one time a year when delicious Shamrock Shakes are available.
From left to right you'll see, Derrick Rose's adidas adiZero Rose 1.5, Joakim Noah's Le Coq Sportif Noah Pro Model 2.0, Carmelo Anthony's Jordan Melo M7, Dwight Howard's adidas SuperBeast and Kyle Korver's Converse Star Player EVO, with bigger pictures after the jump. They're all nice looking, but if I had to pick a winner, I'd go with Korver's Converse because I love the subtle gold details, white toe and the fact that a major shoe brand is making special shoes for Kyle Korver. That's as inexplicable as it is excellent.
Nonetheless, these are all good shoes. I love the bright green on Dwight's shoes, the skeletal look of Rose's, the orange laces on Melo's and the gradient on Noah's. Can't go wrong with any of these, especially because wearing them will save you from a day full of pinches from that lady with the bangs at your office.
