Carpetbaggers or Statesmen? Nevada Legislators, Fix this Ridiculous Flaw!
The November elections may be over, but many people still have a bad taste in their mouths when remembering how some politicians conducted themselves. The unrelenting barrage of negative campaign ads was bad enough, but we actually had two Democrats running for Assembly who didn't even live in the districts in which they were running.… [More…]
Sex Education in Clark County Schools: Let Your Voice Be Heard!
Would you like your child or grandchild to be taught about vaginal intercourse, masturbation and homosexuality in kindergarten? How about a junior high student being instructed about orgasms and anal intercourse? If you think this couldn't happen in Clark County schools, you're mistaken. These very topics were discussed at closed-door meetings held by the Clark… [More…]
Business Leaders Unite: Educate Your Employees about Question 3 – The Margin Tax
One of the dangers of the Margin Tax is that so many business owners think it's such bad policy that it will never pass. However, a recent poll suggests otherwise. In fact the poll, which was conducted before the Coalition to Defeat the Margin Tax Initiative launched their mass-media campaign, showed a passage by nine… [More…]
Union Members Wake Up: And Smell the Reality
If you or a family member belong to a union, you might not know that the dues deducted from your hard-earned paycheck are funding causes you oppose or supporting groups with views exactly opposite of yours.

Clark County School District Waste: Throwing Our Money Away
Am I the only one sick of this BS? Two stories have come to light recently that show how taxpayers' money is being wasted by the Clark County School District. These examples not only point out the quality of the district's decision-making, but also make me wonder what other questionable expenses haven't yet been discovered.… [More…]
Alternative Energy Projects: Who Pays for These Boondoggles?
Work is almost completed on the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, located near Tonopah. The developers had received a $737 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy, so if the project fails like Solyndra did, taxpayers will be on the hook for all that money. Even if we don't have to ultimately make… [More…]
Fed Up: Who Works for Who?
There are so many things wrong with last month's BLM "roundup" it's difficult to even know where to start. As anyone in businesses will tell you, to effectively negotiate a deal, both parties must begin with the same premise. Clive Bundy was operating under the premise that the government works for him. The government, however,… [More…]
Lowering the Education Bar: Nevada and the U.S. shortchange students or are we becoming a Third World country?
Americans no longer expect quality, much less excellence, from our public education system, and U.S. students now lag behind those from other developed countries. What's happening in Nevada is a prime example of the dumbing-down of our public schools. Nevada's high school juniors have trouble passing the math proficiency exam that's required for graduation. In… [More…]
Lessons Learned: Integrity Matters
American businesses are finally emerging from the recession – some of us survived bruised and battered, others didn't make it and some companies managed to succeed by a combination of business smarts, ruthless cost-cutting and just plain luck. If the value of going through a crisis lies in the lessons we learn from it, maybe… [More…]
November 2014 Elections: Support Pro-Business Candidates Now
November may seem far away now, but plans for the next elections are already well underway.

This year,… [More…]
The Margin Tax Proposal: Initiative will Kill Business in Nevada
As a Nevada business owner or executive, you're probably hoping that 2014 will be the year our state finally climbs out of the depths of the recession, but the so-called "Education Initiative," which will come before the voters on the November 2014 ballot, could spell the end of any hopes for economic recovery. It has… [More…]

Home, Home on the Range: Where the Desert Tortoises Roam?
Cliven Bundy is a man on a mission.

Killing Jobs to Pay for Education: Nevada's Free Margin Tax Initiative… Won't be Free
Since Nevada's legislature chose to take no action on the Free Margin Tax initiative by the March 15th deadline, this important state issue has been automatically passed on to the 2014 ballot. This means Nevada voters will decide whether or not we need a Free Margin Tax. If you're not familiar with the initiative, you… [More…]
North Las Vegas' Eminent Domain Scheme: Well-Meaning, but Dangerous
San Francisco-based Mortgage Resolution Partners (MRP) has been pitching a scheme to get distressed cities to use their right of eminent domain to seize underwater homes and pay MRP to help restructure the mortgages. They tried and failed in several cities before finding a receptive audience in North Las Vegas. Naturally, city officials want to… [More…]
Independence Day 2013: Freedom Fighters Wanted
As Americans celebrate Independence Day this month, it's fitting to ask how much freedom U.S. citizens really have in 2013, and how much we have handed over to the federal government. I won't say the feds have taken our freedom away from us, because they've done so with our permission. Ever since the FDR administration,… [More…]
Protecting Babies in America: They Have the Right to Life
Two items in the news lately have reminded people that killing babies is a crime and a tragedy that affects us all.

Gun Control or People Control? What Are the Real Issues?
After the shootings in Aurora, Colorado and Sandy Hook, Americans are searching for ways to prevent future tragedies, and politicians are taking advantage of the public outcry to advance their own political agendas.

Teacher's Health Trust: Putting Teachers at Risk

The Big Finish - Completing the Fantasy Fur Jacket
The final installment to the epic series of posts on making this hairy beast! We'll be covering lining the jacket, as well as final details in this post.
Choosing a suitable lining was a bit of a challenge here, as the outside was so distinctive. I stumbled upon this plaid taffeta at one of the jobbers I frequent. It wasn't ideal, but the colors worked well with the fur, so I took a chance.

I'm a fan of your style and creativity. I've followed these jacket tutorials and have learned quite a bit as well as quite liking the jacket. I've wondered what it would look like on you, or a model. Well I sort of got my wish. Jeremy Scott designed a jacket for the Fall 2012 RTW line with the same multi-colored hair extensions. I think the hair is a little longer than on your jacket but... it's amazing. Hope you have checked it out.

Anyway, Kenneth's fantasy fur looks a lot like a psychedelic monkey fur coat.
Hmmm. I see that vintage monkey fur coats are selling for big bucks on line.

P.S. Would you do a feature on those amazing slashed jeans you wore during the course?

And for those who can't imagine wearing this, that's OK. One needs the proper location (New York for me), social set (my Park Ave. gals or my students at FIT who were all over this), and events to wear it to. So, in my world, it's entirely wearable and appropriate.
And, to paraphrase Diana Vreeland again, it's not ugly I object to (she was referring to vulgarity but they are related), it's having no style that I object to. I'd rather take a chance on wearing something that is too far out there, than pass looking invisible.
And boy oh boy, I'm not invisible with this jacket!

Seriously. I am like the wig queen, and am always wishing I could find wefting to mess with- I love working with wigs and changing them around, etc.
Making a coat- OMG you have totally lit the fire of creativity
My only problem with this would be the abrasive sensitivity of the synthetic hair. Wigs get scruffy pretty quickly from abrasion and some hair is more susceptible than others, which is why I tend to choose leather garments when wearing wigs to extend their life. However, the concept is delightful.
Reminds me of the time when I had no money at all except for $10 and wanted desperately to create something. I found three huge spools of woven cotton belting and they were all under $10 total. I bought them and created two coats out of them which I treasure to this day even though they are pretty old now.

Labour party press release
Caroline Flint MP, Labour's Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary,
said in response to reports of alleged energy market manipulation:
"These are very concerning reports, which if true suggest shocking
behaviour in the energy market that should be dealt with strongly.
"For months Labour has said that customers are getting a raw deal and the
gas and electricity companies should be forced to sell the energy they
generate into a pool, to open up the market and ensure fairer consumer
prices. These reports make the need for action all the more urgent."

Measuring Unknown Strobe Rate
Name: Reade W. Status: student Age: 17 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 6/25/2003
How can I measure the flash rate of a strobe light at its full pulse rate, because the box does not say the exact flash rate per second and that is what i need for my current experiment dealing with projectile motion of a soccer ball, which we will be recording on a video camera while with a strobe light, flashing to break up the motion... so how can i find out my flash rate per second of my strobe light?
You can take an object and drop it along a scale while photographing it under the flash condition.
The amount of fall is y = y initial +v initial * time + 0.5 g t^2 Since the first two terms are zero, you measure y off the image, and you know g, you can solve for t.

Our goal with these policies is to stress the importance of our schedule and protect our staff as well as clients that rely on the accuracy of the schedule.
A deposit of $500 will be taken at the time you schedule your procedure. Once you agree to our scheduling policies we can put you in our schedule. This will lock in your rate for up to 3 months in which time you may schedule you procedure. The deposit is partially refundable, see cancellation policies below.
Venus Legacy:
A deposit of $100 will be taken at the time that you schedule your first treatment. Once you agree to our scheduling policies we can put you in our schedule. The balance must be paid in full to proceed with the treatment. If a series is purchased, the entire series cost must be paid in full before the first treatment. Once the series is paid in full we can reserve dates and times for your remaining treatments. If the entire series cost is not paid in full, the regular price per treatment price will apply.
Payment in Full
The balance of the procedure must be paid in full 7 days prior to the procedure date. We require this because many people have limits on their credit or debt card. If you pay early, this will eliminate the chance of payment issues the day of the procedure which may delay or require cancellation of your procedure (this would be a huge inconvenience if you flew across the country for your procedure and could not pay when you got here). All checks must clear prior to the procedure taking place.
Late Policy
In the event that you are 25 minutes or more late for your appointment, MyShape Lipo reserves the right to enforce any of the following options:
- Reschedule your appointment for another day, requiring a $250 rescheduling fee.
- If rescheduling your appointment isn't an option, we can cancel your appointment offering you a refund, minus the forfeited $500 deposit.
- Move your appointment to later in the day, if our schedule allows for another appointment.
In the event that you do not show up for your appointment or arrive for your appointment and decide that you do not want to move forward with the procedure, we will offer a refund of the monies paid, minus the $500 deposit.
In the event that you cancel your procedure within 1 week of the procedure date, you will forfeit your $500 deposit and the remainder will be reimbursed. You will receive a $250 refund of your deposit if you cancel more than 1 week before your appointment or if you do not have an appointment date set. Please note that once the deposit has been placed you are subject to the cancellation policy regardless whether you have selected an appointment date. All other funds will be returned upon cancellation once you have filled out a Refund Request Form. In order to be eligible for the $250 partial deposit refund, the Refund Request Form must be signed, dated and received more than 1 week before the procedure date. If it is received with in a week of the scheduled procedure date or after the procedure date the entire $500 deposit is forfeited.
We understand that this is a big decision and you may change your mind about the procedure, but please respect our schedule by giving us advanced notice. Failure to show up for your appointment (being 25 minutes or more late for your appointment without communicating with our staff) will result in forfeiting your $500 deposit.
Venus Legacy:
In the event that you cancel your treatment within 1 week of the first treatment date, you will forfeit $50 of your deposit and the remainder will be reimbursed. Please note that once the deposit has been placed you are subject to the cancellation policy regardless whether you have selected an appointment date. All other funds will be returned upon cancellation once you have filled out a Refund Request Form.
If you wish to cancel your future treatments while in the middle of a treatment series, the number of treatments already received at the current price per treatment rate will be deducted from the total series amount originally paid.
In the event that you must reschedule your appointment within 1 week of your procedure date, there will be a $250 rescheduling fee.
Revisions/Touch up
The national average for liposuction revisions is approximately 20%. However, at MyShape Lipo our revision rate is less than 0.5%. We do our best to get it right the first time so that you won't need to have it done again. A revision is intended to fix a small irregularity in an isolated area. After any liposuction procedure, it should be expected that there will be minor irregularities and the hope is that you are the only one that will notice the issue. Anytime a revision is completed there is risk involved of potentially making the problem worse. Trying to fix very minor issues could potentially lead to more problems or worse results.
Anytime you have liposuction there will be scar tissue in the area treated. This scar tissue is very tough and has bulk to itself. The scar tissue itself is commonly the cause of these irregularities or fullness. To remove the scar tissue may only be a temporary fix, because the scar tissue will come back as you heal. If for example, you have an area that is slightly raised in comparison to the surrounding areas. It is possible that we go in and take out too much causing a "divot" where you once had a bulge. The presence of scar tissue can make it very difficult to make "fine detail" changes. When considering a revision it's important to consider the risk factors vs. the potential benefit. Remember that perfection is unattainable and the goal of liposuction is to be better than when you started.
We remove as much fat as we want the first time so it should not be necessary to treat a given area twice for fat reduction. It's important to leave a thin layer of fat under the skin to get the best cosmetic results and the smoothest skin. Taking out too much fat will leave the skin with a "rippled" look and significantly increase the chance of defects.
Cost: A minimum charge of $500 plus additional fees assessed on an individual basis. Additional fees will be determined based on amount of work required.
Returned Checks
If a check gets returned for insufficient funds there will be a $25.00 insufficient funds fee.
While it is very rare, in the event that you decide to cease treatment in an area to be treated after the numbing process in that area has begun, please note that you will not be entitled to a refund for the unfinished area.
Disclaimer: Individual results may vary, please consult with specialist before making important medical decisions, this website does not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of such content and materials. Results are dependent on the individuals own unique bodily limitations. A consultation is recommended in order to provide individual expectations.

We just bought a new house - so I get to design a new pond.
First, a little background ... I have kept a successful pond for 17 years at our old house - but it was a small, shallow, concrete pond, with a simple filtration system - just a submursible and mini skippy type filter in a 5 gallon pail. The goldfish were caught every fall and brought inside for the winter. The pump and filter was also brought inside. For the new pond, I am thinking something like 6 feet x 8 feet and 30 inches deep - around 800 gallons. I am considering a bottom drain and a skimmer feeding a skippy filter. I kinda like the idea of an external pump.

I saw your post yesterday and surprised no one has responded. We live in zone 7 and have no problem with freezing pipes etc. We've had winters where the ice on top of the pond is 8" deep. I believe you'll have to go a little deeper in one section for the fish to overwinter in zone 4. We have a 3 1/2 foot section We have a bottom drain, and a DIY gravity fed filter system. This is basically how we did ours (in the beginning) We used three tubs buried in the ground, the water level in the tubs are the same as the pond. The pump(s) are in the last tub. After the water goes through all the tubs it returns to the pond. After that (the next year) we added a biological pond that the water travels to via underground, goes through a biological pond then returns to the main pond. I'm an not suggesting that method for you, only explaining that later on we needed more filtration cause we had a lot of koi. If you want shelves all around for a very natural look, here is how we did ours, dig a shelf all around pile flat rock and round rocks too, up to ground level then on the ground as well, in between you can move the rocks and plant hidden pots with plants. When you look into the pond you will not see any liner all around the perimeter of the pond. Joann |

Thanks Joann: Actually, your website was already saved to my favorites and I have been there several times admiring your photos. You really have a beautiful pond and yard. To anwswer your question - No. I don't think I want to keep koi - I kinda like goldfish better. I guess I may need to go a little deeper though - I need to check out the zoning at the new house before I decide. I definitly want a natural looking pond - I want to blend it into the landscape. The yard and surrounding neighborhood is simi-wooded - a nice mixture. I know I will have leaves - therefore the bottom drain and skimmer. I have a tree overhanging my current pond and I am tired of all the netting, vacumming, and pulling the pump up every few days. I am still looking for info on how to deal with the freezing weather and the skimmer, pump and pipes. Jeff |

oh gosh Jeff, I thought you were a newbee. I hope some zone 4 ponders jump in here and help ya. Joann |
I have two bottom drains and a skimmer that are plumbed to mechanical barrel filters, an external pump and a biological filter. Before the pond freezes, I plug the bottom drains and empty the barrels. The bottom drain lines seem to drain automatically (gravity fed). When I remove the pump, the line from the pump to the biological filter drains as well. I don't empty the skimmer or the biological filter - they freeze solid and so far no problems with that. But I do put some styrofoam noodles (kids water toys) in the skimmer to absorb some of the effects of expansion (I don't know if this really works, but I read it somewhere). Hope that helps some. This is only my second winter so my experience is somewhat limited, but it has worked so far. I'm in zone 5 - we do have sub-zero temps, but not usually 20-30 below. |
i have a partialy raised formal pond with a tiered fountain. i leave it running year long and the fish stay in it—never lost one in winter. i built it like a swimming pool. skimmer and bottom drain (skimmer in the wall). the skimmer and the bottom drain share a pipe so the skimmer can never run dry if the water level is too low. i have a preasure filter above ground in the corner of the yard. the pipes are all 2 feet under ground except when the surface for the pump. i keep them flowing to avoid freezing. i also wrapped all the pipes with the rain gutter defrosting wires you can get at home depot. never used them, but i can turn them on if a pipe ever freezes. last year i did not cover the pond and all was fine except the concrete fountain cracked. this year i covered with a tarp and have no ice on the pond at all and we have been in the teens for a few weeks. i know a lot of people don't like pressure filters and they have good reasons. i love mine compared to other systems i have tried. it helps in the winter to have it all contained. if i had built the house new i would have put it inside the house or garage and all the pipe would have been buried. i am pretty proud of it compared to past ponds done in a more traditional manner. if this makes no sense, or you want more info/diagrams contact me and i will post more or give you a phone # and we can talk. |
A great website for info that will help you is www.pondkoi.com..there is a forum there too .I have a new pond similar to what you are thinking of doing mine is 5x8 & 700 gals. that site has helped me alot. The admin. there really knows what they R talking about. All their products are free shipping too which to me is a plus.... |

i,m redoing my pond of 15 years this spring i would like to change a few things to make it better.i,m digging it deeper and removing ledges.one big question is the last builder used concrete over the dirt hole.my liner is leaking somewhere that maybe the cause.what do you recomend behind the liner, sand, carpet, felt liner ? |
- Posted by brent(email@example.com) onSat, Aug 20, 11 at 12:08
we live in toronto canada, your best option for winter is to stop filtration, take filters and uv units in side, keep all filters empty and keep air stones in the pond for winter. You can also build a greenhouse over the pond to help with ice, or use a de-icer, they work great. |

A database of green biz innovations packed with story ideas
The WWF is using a crowdsourcing approach for its "Green game-changers," an initiative that will establish a database to track innovation in environmentally focused products and businesses. The organization hopes that building a bank of those at the forefront of sustainability will inspire others to follow the same path.
"We believe the business community will provide a lot of the solutions to help us move towards a sustainable future," said Dax Lovegrove, head of WWF's business and industry relations, in a press release. "In the face of escalating climate change and an ecological recession, businesses will need to innovate more to build resilience and maximize on opportunities."
The initiative doesn't officially kick off until next week, according to this article from BusinessGreen.com, but there's already a bank of companies listed that are worth checking out. This project definitely has the potential to morph into an inspiration board for a slew story ideas.
So far on the list is a company called Xeros, which is developing washing machines that use 90 percent less water than standard models and also Magenn Power and Makani Power, which are behind the concept of flying wind turbines.

FAN CLUB: "I wouldn't be here if I didn't really like her a lot," said Ralph Lauren. "We hardly ever do this."
It was Thursday night, and Lauren was standing on the second floor of his store on Madison Avenue and 72nd Street in the middle of a party he was throwing for new Architectural Digest editor in chief Margaret Russell. The whole scene felt like a coronation. The Condé Nast executives present — chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr., chief executive officer Charles Townsend, editorial director Tom Wallace — were in a good mood, especially since Russell's debut March issue was a success, what with an 80 percent jump in ad pages, the biggest bump for any monthly magazine for the month.
"I think that the prognosis is good," said Russell. "It's such an exciting time for us. I couldn't imagine anywhere else I'd rather be."
So good that there wasn't even any awkwardness in the air considering that the title Russell gave up — Elle Decor — is sailing right along without her. (Ad pages for Elle Decor went up 40 percent in March.)
Asked how she managed to relaunch the magazine without upsetting loyal readers who were used to 35 years of stewardship under former editor in chief Paige Rense, Russell said, "Oh, you know, we're upsetting some people, let's be honest. But there are so many more people who have sent such a sense of goodwill to us. People don't like change. AD is going to look like AD — we're not changing the way it looks. But we are photographing things in a different way. We're casting a wider net — we're bringing more creative people to the magazine.
"There's nothing shocking about what we're doing," she continued. "My goal is to have it be very fresh."
Certainly she has her fans.
"Peggy has taken a wonderful institution like Architectural Digest and really upped the game," said Loews chairman Jonathan Tisch. His wife, Lizzie Tisch, said she was at the newsstand recently and was taken by the "The Age of Elegance" March cover. "It was sitting next to some shelter magazines, and the cover was, 'wow.' This looks kind of spectacular," she said.
And Lauren, the man who has been loyal to Architectural Digest for years, also is fully on board for the Russell era.
"I grew up with Paige Rense and I thought she was great and terrific," Lauren said. "Margaret has a different sensibility," which he described as "younger, modern, more casual, warm."
"She has history, she has background, she's got taste and she's a pro," he continued. "She's going to bring something that's fresh and new and keep the architectural customer that always loved it and add another audience."

I received an iPhone 5c for Christmas. I had a complete dinosaur phone before that. Anyone want to share any of their favorite free apps? It can be for anything. I'm also interested in any free app recommendation for scanning barcodes/price checking. So I could scan a barcode in whatever store and it will look up the price of the same product in nearby stores. Oh, and can I get free ringtones from iTunes for my phone? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
What apps? This can vary sooo much based on where you live, what you do, how you do it, what you like, etc., etc., etc. Do you travel? Look at airline apps Do you use public transportation or public parking? There're apps for those. How about where you bank/where you live/where you shop/ and on and on. The weather, the traffic, the restaurants. All have apps or info available via apps. See what I mean? There are more webpages that would attempt to answer your question than you have time to read. Check out a few. Most people wind up trying many apps and then removing some before they settle on which they like to use. It's very personal. |
Thanks for your response snidely. Maybe I'll just 'browse" through the app store and see what grabs me. Any recommendations on the bar code scanner app? |
I think the best way is to read the reviews and try the ones that are most positive. |
I like the Weather CHANNEL one alot. It lets me store up to 10 favorite places in either Faren. or celcius. |
Browse the App Store and read the reviews. That's the best way. I have a bunch that I use all the time such as my banks. I like the news apps, CNN, Fox, AP, , NY Times. I like to play the stock market and have my brokerage and Seeking Alpha, CNBC and the CNBC alarm clock (love it) , The Street, Bloomberg. I like music apps, Tunein Radio, Pandora and Shazam, ITunes. Weather Channel. Google maps and regular Google Search. I also have Allrecipes (cooking), Gourmet, Epicurious. Shopping, Amazon, QVC, Biz Locator, Starbucks, Groupon. I also have Twitter (never use it), Evernote. Jane |
Jane ny, Can you tell me what would me the advantages to using google app rather than just the regular URL Thanks |
Its faster and easier to read and search. I didn't use it for the first few months but decided to try it and it operates better and faster. All you do is tap the app and you are on the search page. Jane |
Jane's exactly right about the benefits of using any site-specific app vs a browser for the same website. The biggest thing in my mind is that app pages are typically tailored to the requirements of a smaller display format and touch input. There's no need to enlarge the view, no fussing with trying to push a miniscule button, no searching for an obscure link. App views have readable displays and condensed menus to focus on most people's needs and wants. Also because they're acting as a purpose-built front end with much of the display code already on the phone, they tend to offer faster response times. (edited for typo) |

One great thing about the google app is that you can use voice commands to make it quicker. I usually do this only when I'm alone. :) |

Hi everyone, I bought a few coneflowers last year and a few this year and wondered if I am suppose to deadhead them and if so how you deadhead them?? Thanks for your help, Judy |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I dead head mine I just cut about the middle of the flower stalk.But if there is by chance another flower on the same stalk then I cut before the above the new flower if that makes sense. But I am leaving my coneflowers undead headed since so many of the birds love the seeds. |
- Posted by prettypetals GA 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 27, 09 at 17:48
Thanks Paula! I haven't dead headed them any yet and I don't think they have put up any new stems or if they are even suppose to put up any new stems during the year. Does this make any sense?? It seems like they stay looking good for sooooo long and then they start turning brown and I wasn't sure what to do with the stem once the flower turned brown. I dead headed some daisies I bought hoping they might put up new stems too but they are just sitting there and I didn't want to make the same mistake with my coneflowers. I would rather leave the spent blooms for the birds if they aren't going to put out any new stems. Thanks a bunch, Judy |
I deadhead some of mine by making bouquets! :) The rest of them, I usually just leave for the birds and winter interest, etc. However, I had soooooo many volunteers this year that I may end up deadheading after all. I would do what Paula does - cut down the stalk unless there are more buds. Then I would just cut down to above the new bud. :) |
I plan to deadheadmost most of mine for the same reason Dee did. I didn't get a chance to do any deadheading last year and I now have lots (and lots and lots) of echinaceas to give away! I usually deadhead to right above a leaf. It looks neater imo. |
I deadhead mine the same way I deadhead most of my perennials that bloom most of the summer: cut the blooms off either to the leaf, or to a new bud, and continue to deadhead until it gets later in the summer and the blooms start to taper off. Once I think I'm on the last flush of blooms for the summer/fall, I leave the seed heads on and allow them to develop. I like to have a little bit of self-seeding going on, in case I need a few, and feed for the birds, etc. |
- Posted by prettypetals GA 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 29, 09 at 13:37
Thanks everyone. I will deadhead to tidy up the bush a little and leave the rest for the birds for later. Thanks for your help. Judy |
- Posted by rosecorgis Z9 NorCal (My Page) on Wed, Aug 12, 09 at 11:42
I planted my first coneflowers this year. They've been great but now most of the blooms are ending. Here's my dumb question for the day. It looks to me like the new flower buds look similar to the old flower heads once the petals fall off. I want to deadhead to prolong the bloom time, but I can't tell the difference!! I know, stupid question! I'm not even sure that they will produce more flowers if deadheaded. The one thing I did notice is that they might feel different -- are the new buds soft where the spent flowerheads are hard? Last question, if I let it go to seed at the end of the season, can it produce new seedlings through mulch? I have the bed heavily mulched to retain the drip irrigation in our 90+ degree temps. I'd like to have more coneflowers next year. Should I consider raking the mulch away once the seedheads set? Any advice for my climate would be appreciated. We're hot and dry all summer and won't get any natural rain until November. Debbie |

KEARNEY — With eight seniors on the Adams Central wrestling team, the Patriots wanted to send them out on a positive note Saturday at the state dual championships at the University of Nebraska-Kearney.
Adams Central won two of its three matches, finishing in third place. The Patriots beat Nebraska City 38-30 in the final dual to earn their trophy.
"We just wrestled well. Mark Zeckser had a great match, and all of my seniors won, which was kind of nice. We've lived and died by our seniors for pretty much the last three years. They're just a great group. It was a great way to end the season with those guys going," said AC head coach Dan Lonowski. "They all had a sour taste in their mouths after last week. It was a rough week of practice, but at the end they said it was worth it."

Mix and Match Your Various Investments
So, what kinds of investments, whether stocks, bonds, or annuities, go well together, and which kinds clash? You want to include different kinds of investments in any portfolio, preferably investments from different asset classes and, best of all, investments that have little or no correlation.
An asset class is a group of investments that share common characteristics. Long-term, investment-grade corporate bonds would be an example. Small cap growth stocks would be another example. United States–based real estate investment trusts (REITs) would be a third.
If you already have a portfolio filled with ChickenLickin' bonds — the last thing you need is another ChickenLickin' bond. That's because putting all your eggs in one basket is the surest way to wind up with scrambled eggs (or fried chickens).
One distinguishing characteristic of an asset class is that it tends to perform in cycles, and those performance cycles tend to be different than the performance cycles of other asset classes. In other words, two distinct asset classes have limited correlation: They won't move up and down at the same time. And so, having them together in a portfolio helps make for smoother sailing.
Here is an illustration of how lack of correlation works to lessen a portfolio's ups and downs. The figure shows the performance of two investments, which we'll call Volatile Investment A and Volatile Investment B.
Both investments offer high long-term positive returns and equally high volatility; they move up and down like pogo sticks under a hyperactive child. However, notice that they don't move up and down at the same time. In fact, these two investments move in opposite directions. They are said to have negative correlation.
Because of that negative correlation (easy to find in textbooks, very difficult to find in the real world), Volatile Investment A and Volatile Investment B combine to create a portfolio with socko returns but not a wee bit of volatility. This figure shows what happens when you put them together into the same portfolio: You get the perfect result of high returns and no price swings!
Unfortunately, this is only a model. Finding two investments that offer high long-term positive return potential with negative correlation is almost impossible in the real world (although finding one without the other isn't difficult at all).
An individual with net worth of more than $1 million (alone or jointly with a spouse) or with income of $200,000 in each of the past two years and with a reasonable expectation of the same level of income in the current year. Certain higher-risk investments are often restricted to accredited investors.
A risk-adjusted measure of performance. Alpha measures the portion of an investment's return attributable to the security's inherent values (for example, earnings growth) rather than to overall market movements.
A trading technique that takes advantage of price discrepancies when the same security, currency, or commodity is traded on different markets.
A condition that is met when an option's strike price is the same as the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is also $125, then the option is at the money.
A financial statement that shows the value of a company's assets, liabilities, and owner's equity on a given date. Total assets minus total liabilities equals owner's equity.
A situation that occurs when you have sold something you do not own. In commodities, if you enter into a contract to sell a commodity which you don't own with a promise to deliver it at a set price on a future date, then you are short that commodity. In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.
A measure of a stock's relative volatility. A stock with a higher beta can be expected to rise or fall more than the overall market, whereas a stock with a lower beta is less volatile than the overall market.
A theoretical model used to calculate the fair market value of an option based on time to expiration, price of the underlying stock, historical volatility, strike price, and carrying costs.
A contract that gives the holder the right to buy a particular asset at a specified price at any time prior to the expiration of the option.
A bond that the issuer can redeem before its maturity date. The bondholder is often paid a premium when the bond is called.
A chart that shows the daily high, low, opening, and closing prices for a security over a specified time period.
The profit from the sale of an investment at a price that's higher than the purchase price.
An interest-bearing investment issued by a bank. CDs are typically available with maturities ranging from three months to five years.
Buying and selling securities by a broker for the sole purpose of generating commissions.
A call option written by an investor who already owns the underlying shares. If you write a covered call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would just deliver the stock to the holder.
Delta represents the price change of an option for every one-point change in the price of the underlying security or futures contract.
A financial instrument whose value is based on the value of another asset or index. A stock option, for example, is a type of derivative that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares of the stock at a predetermined price. The option's value changes in relation to the price of the stock.
An electronic order-routing system used by NYSE member firms to send market and limit orders directly to the specialist at the exchange who trades that particular security.
Money paid out by a company to the owner of its stock. An income stock is a stock that has a regularly paid, higher-than-average dividend.
A market in which stock shares are issued and traded. Trading takes place through both exchanges and over-the-counter markets.
A mutual fund that is traded, like stocks, on an exchange.
Currency that a government declares to be legal tender, even though it is not backed by reserves of physical assets (such as gold). The value of fiat money derives solely from the public's confidence and faith in its ability to serve as a storage medium for purchasing power. Most of the world's money is fiat money.
The largest non-governmental regulatory organization responsible for overseeing all securities firms that do business in the United States. Responsibilities include professional training, testing and licensing of registered representatives, and arbitration and mediation.
Speculation on the value of one currency versus another, in which you buy one country's currency—just as you'd buy a stock or other security—in the hope that it will appreciate relative to the value of another currency.
Contracts where you agree to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, currency, or other asset at a specified price on a specified future date. Unlike an option, a futures contract creates an obligation, rather than just a right, to buy and sell the underlying security.
When you own a security or other asset, you are said to be long that security. When you go long (that is, buy) a security, you're bullish, or positive on the market, and you expect the price of that security to go up.
Privately held corporations created by Congress to work for the common good—generally to facilitate borrowing for homeowners, farmers, and other specific groups. Examples of GSEs include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Farm Credit Bank.
A chart formation in a graph of an asset price that resembles three mountaintops in a row, with the middle mountaintop being taller than the other two. The pattern indicates a trend reversal, meaning that prices are expected to fall.
An investment strategy that allows you to reduce the risk of an unfavorable price change in a security or commodity. For example, a stockholder of ABC Company who is worried about declining stock prices can offset that risk by buying a put option on ABC, allowing him to sell his shares in the future at today's price.
Investments that don't trade very actively and are difficult to sell on short notice.
A theoretical value representing the volatility of the security underlying an option. Implied volatility is used by the Black-Scholes model, among others, to calculate the price of an option. Implied volatility usually rises when the markets are in downtrends, and falls when the markets are in uptrends.
A condition that is met when a call option's strike price is below the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is $120, then the option is in the money. For a put option, the strike price must be above the current market price of the stock for the option to be in the money.
A mutual fund designed to mirror the performance of a specific market index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. Expenses of index funds tend to be lower than other mutual funds because the manager is not actively researching, buying, and selling securities.
A type of individual retirement savings plan. There are several types of IRAs, including, among others, Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred accounts that currently allow individuals to contribute up to $5,000 per year. Contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax deductible, depending upon several factors. You don't pay taxes on the income and gains you generate in a Traditional IRA until you make withdrawals; all withdrawals will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate. Roth IRAs are subject to different tax treatment.
The degree to which an investor or business is utilizing borrowed money. For investors, leverage is a means of multiplying the return on an investment by borrowing money to purchase additional securities or other assets. Buying securities on margin is an example. If you have $1,000 of cash and borrow another $1,000 from your brokerage, you could then purchase $2,000 of stock. If the value of the purchased stock increases by 10 percent ($200), then you have realized a 20 percent gain ($200/$1,000) on your actual cash investment.
The value of a company as measured by the total number of stock shares outstanding times the market price of each share. For example, if company ABC has 20 million shares outstanding, and each share is currently worth $100, then the market cap for ABC is $2 billion. In general, stocks are classified as large cap (over $5 billion), small cap (under $1 billion), or mid cap (anything in between).
A stock index where the effect of each stock on the index is in proportion to its market value.
A major ongoing development that is expected to have significant implications for most (if not all) facets of society over an extended period of time. The aging of the American population is an example.
The perceived strength behind a price or volume movement in a security based on the rate of acceleration of that movement.
In technical analysis, a chart line that shows the average of a security's price over a specified period of time, recalculated for each new data point. For example, a 30-day moving average will include yesterday's price and those for the previous 29 days. Tomorrow's moving average will include today's price but will drop the price for the earliest date in yesterday's average. The moving average is used to spot pricing trends by flattening out large fluctuations.
A bond issued by a local or state government or agency. Munis generally raise money for public projects such as hospitals, roads, bridges, and sewer systems as well as general governmental operations. When you buy a muni, the interest is usually exempt from federal income tax.
A fund operated by an investment company that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a group of assets in accordance with one or more stated objectives, such as income, growth, aggressive growth, and so on. A mutual fund may generally invest in stocks, bonds, options, futures, currencies, and money market securities in accordance with its stated parameters. All shareholders share equally in the income, gains, and losses generated by the fund.
A call option written by an investor who does not already own the underlying shares. If you write a naked call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would have to buy the stock at the market price to meet your obligation. Naked calls are very risky, though potentially very rewarding.
An electronic stock exchange established by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). The Nasdaq lists over 3,200 companies and is the largest equity securities trading market in the U.S.
A system where traders on a trading floor or in a trading pit shout and use hand signals to make transactions or trades with each other.
A derivative security that gives the holder a contractual right to buy or sell a set amount of a stock, commodity, or other asset at a specified price on or before the option's expiration date. An option is purchased for a fee, called a premium.
A person who is buying options. Call option holders have the right to buy a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at a specified strike price. Put option holders have the right to sell the specified amount at the strike price.
A condition that is met when a call option's strike price is above the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $120 and the option's strike price is $125, then the option is out of the money. For a put option, if the strike price is below the current market price of the stock, then the option is out of the money.
A securities market where trades are conducted by phone or computer network directly between dealers rather than on a physical trading floor. All bonds trade over-the-counter, as do unlisted stocks (generally, stocks of smaller companies that do not qualify for listing on an exchange).
When you buy an option, the premium is the amount that you pay to the seller of the option.
A contract that gives the holder the right to sell a particular asset at a specified price at any time prior to the expiration of the option.
A company, usually traded publicly, that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a portfolio of real estate properties. REITs are modeled after mutual funds, although the tax treatment of REIT income is different.
A statistical technique used to find the mathematical relationship between a dependent variable (such as a company's stock price) and one or more independent variables (such as GDP, income growth, or inflation). Regression analysis is used to predict future values of the dependent variable based on changes in the independent variables.
A price movement in the opposite direction of the previous trend. When a price has gone too far and traders deem the security overbought or oversold, the price may stop rising or falling and move in the opposite direction for a period of time.
A type of IRA in which contributions to the account are not tax-deductible, but qualified withdrawals are completely exempt from federal income tax.
A federal agency whose mission is to protect investors from fraud or other unlawful market activities.
A nonprofit corporation created by Congress in 1970 to protect investors in the United States. SIPC insures the assets in investor accounts (up to certain maximum amounts) at registered brokerage firms in the event of bankruptcy of those firms.
An instruction to a broker to sell a stock at the market price after the security has touched the specified stop price. A sell stop is always placed below the present market price and is usually designed to protect a profit or limit a loss.
The general feeling among investors as to which direction the stock market is heading. If the sentiment is that prices are going up, it is said to be bullish; if the sentiment is toward a downward movement, it is bearish. Investors base sentiment on market activity and movements in the prices of securities.
A situation that occurs when you have sold something you do not own. In commodities, if you enter into a contract to sell a commodity which you don't own with a promise to deliver it at a set price on a future date, then you are short that commodity. In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the price of the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.
A retirement plan available to small employers and self-employed individuals in which both the employer and employee can contribute to an IRA.
An annuity contract that you purchase from an insurance company with a single upfront payment. An SPIA usually starts making regular monthly payments to you immediately.
You create a straddle when you simultaneously buy a put and a call on the same stock at the same strike price and with the same expiration date.
You build a strangle when you buy a put and a call on the same stock with the same expiration date but at strike prices that are equally out of the money. A strangle costs less than a straddle because both options are out of the money, but you only make a profit if the price of the underlying stock moves dramatically.
The price at which the stock or commodity underlying an option can be purchased (call option) or sold (put option) pursuant to the terms of the contract.
An exchange of streams of payments over time according to specified terms. The most common type is an interest rate swap, in which one party agrees to pay a fixed interest rate on a notional principal amount in return for receiving an adjustable rate from another party.
One-sixteenth of a point.
A price change in a security's trades. If the next trade takes a security up in price, it's an uptick; if it takes the security down, it's a downtick. In futures and options trading, a tick is the minimum change in price, up or down.
The spread between the high and low prices of a security or commodity within a particular period.
Debt obligations of the U.S. government that are secured by its full faith and credit. Treasuries include bills (maturities of less than one year), notes (maturities of 1 to 10 years), and bonds (maturities of more than 10 years).
A statistical measure of the movement of a financial asset's price over time, gauging how fast the price of the asset changes. The price of a highly volatile security can change dramatically over a short period of time. A measure of the volatility of a security relative to the overall market is its beta.
A person who is selling options. Call option writers have the obligation to sell a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at the specified strike price if the option is exercised by the holder. Put option writers have the obligation to buy the specified amount at the strike price if the option is exercised.

Apparently in this state you don't have to know how to drive around it and you aren't required to go the right way around. And PG, I will lay odds that people hit the center divider on freeways and sue sometimes regardless of how their driving played into it all. Personal responsibility can be lacking.
Strangely enough, not all traffic circles are allowed to have plants. It depends on access to the sewer system (I think?). Ours is just a cement circle with a sign that keeps getting plowed over so no boulders for me. (FWIW, I'd also like to put traffic spike things for those people who seem to think they don't actually need to go around the circle if they're turning. I know I can't do it but I'd enjoy it. Same goes for having a cell phone jammer, I'd like that too. Please :))
