Throughout the year, news reporters and their media outlets are tasked with the responsibility of keeping readers, listeners and viewers informed about community happenings; at Christmastime, their mission in Cleveland and Bradley County gets a little more personal.
They sometimes get directly involved, not just in telling the news but in helping to make it. Of the two most recognized examples, one is a holiday project that is feeding families in need and the other one is reaching out specifically to children in struggling households.
The fundraising campaign for the William Hall Rodgers Basket Fund was launched well before Thanksgiving and will continue beyond the day of distribution on Saturday, Dec. 21. The annual Basket Fund is an established nonprofit entity coordinated through a collection of church volunteers and other organizations, and it is named in honor of a former Cleveland Daily Banner editor.
And early this morning at 6 o'clock as area residents were rising, The Empty Stocking Fund — which was founded by Tom and Sandra Rowland (before he was elected city mayor) and the late George R. "Bobby" Taylor — kicked off its annual campaign. The Empty Stocking Fund supports the Cleveland Christmas Party for Children, and is driven by a partnership between WCLE Mix 104.1 and Faith Memorial Church.
The Basket Fund, whose fundraising goal is $28,000, is hoping to provide food staples for as many as 1,100 Cleveland and Bradley County families. At last report, the fund had received donations of slightly more than $5,000.
Basket Fund volunteers will be distributing the food baskets on Saturday, Dec. 21, at Tri-State Warehouse, an organization that is providing strong support for the Bradley County drive.
The 43rd annual Empty Stocking Fund launched its annual campaign today with a WCLE Mix 104.1 live remote from the Church of God International Headquarters. The 10-day drive (includes weekdays only) will conclude on Friday, Dec. 13, with a four-hour grand finale from 6 to 10 a.m. in the Life Care Centers of America Professional Development Center. The live finale will feature music, choral entertainment, special guests, refreshments and plenty of last-day donations.
As is Empty Stocking Fund tradition, this year's goal will be $1 more than was raised last year. The 2012 campaign was a record-setter.
"We are so grateful that thousands of people in this community are continuing to keep this great tradition alive by pledging money and supporting this effort," said Steve Hartline, Mix 104.1 owner. "Last year was an unprecedented outreach as nearly $40,000 was raised and over 900 children were helped."
The actual total was about $38,000.
Hartline has more than a passing interest in the radio station drive. His grandfather, the late Rev. M.E. Littlefield, founded the Christmas Party for Children more than six decades ago. Its origin dates back to a day when Littlefield distributed toys to area children in need from the trunk of his car. Littlefield was pastor and founder of Faith Memorial Church whose current pastor — David Riggs, and his wife, Barbara — help to coordinate the holiday program.
This year's Christmas Party for Children will be held Saturday, Dec. 21 — the same morning as the Basket Fund distribution — from the Lee University Paul Dana Walker Arena, the facility where Flames and Lady Flames basketball games, and Lady Flames volleyball games, are played.
The Christmas Party was held at the Lee University arena for the first time last year due to a need for increased space.
Additional information about both The Empty Stocking Fund and the William Hall Rodgers Basket Fund can be found below.
The Empty
Stocking Fund
(Community Christmas
Party for Children)
Coordinated through Faith Memorial Church on 17th Street, the Cleveland Christmas Party for Children has begun registration at the church. Registration is taking place today (Monday) through Thursday (Dec. 5) from 10 a.m. to noon each day. By registering, eligible families can qualify their children for the shopping event on Dec. 21.
"We welcome all children age 12 and under," Hartline stressed. "Due to the generosity of the community, we are able to give each child new toys and clothing."
Prior to last year, the Christmas Party was held in the elementary school gymnasiums at Mayfield and Stuart. In explaining the move last year, Pastor Riggs pointed out, "[This] will allow more room for a more efficient and speedier process when the children come to get their toys, coats and goodies."
Last year's party at the much larger Walker Arena received rave reviews. This year's event is expected to enjoy the same expediency and comfort for parents, children and on-site volunteers.
The Empty Stocking Fund originated in 1970 as a collaboration between the Rowlands when [Tom] was affiliated with WCLE Radio and the late [Bobby] Taylor who was a longtime banker and community advocate in Cleveland. Taylor went on to co-found the Bank of Cleveland and his support for The Empty Stocking Fund and Children's Christmas Party never waivered.
Thanks to The Empty Stocking Fund, Faith Memorial Church and WCLE, the Christmas Party for Children has continued over the years in partnership with Cleveland and Bradley County corporate, individual and organizational donors.
"What began as a gesture of love with my grandfather — with Rev. Littlefield handing out toys and goodies from his car trunk — has now grown to provide toys, coats and goodies to about 1,000 children every year," Hartline said during last year's drive.
Hartline described the Christmas Party for Children as one link in a long chain of events in the Cleveland community that works to make the Christmas holidays a little brighter for area families in need.
"... It's a constant reminder of our mission in life to care for those less fortunate," Hartline said of the 2012 drive, and nothing has changed in a year's time. "This is what my grandparents, the Rev. and Mrs. Littlefield, began as just a simple gesture of love and outreach. And today, hundreds of volunteers join in to make certain that tradition continues."
He added, "People in this community believe in giving back, especially when it can benefit families in need."
To support The Empty Stocking Fund and Christmas Party for Children, pledges may be called in to Mix 104.1 at 614-6499 or 472-6700. Pledges may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

William Hall Rodgers
Basket Fund
In life, the former newspaper editor believed in freedom of the press, but he also believed in the potential of the heart and how neighbors can help neighbors in times of need. While delivering the news by day, this community-minded editor worked closely with Associated Charities (a predecessor to United Way) to help local families in need at Christmas.
He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Will L. Rodgers. His father and uncle, the late Walter Rodgers, were owners of the Banner when it changed from a weekly to a daily newspaper in 1922.
Battling polio for years, Rodgers died in his early 30s when stricken by a heart attack caused by complications from his disease.
In the years since, the Basket Fund has been coordinated by organizations like the Bradley County Ministerial Association and the Cleveland Jaycees.
Now, the Basket Fund is operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization solely by volunteers, many of whom are members of the First Baptist Church of Cleveland congregation. Other churches and organizations lend their support as well.
Todd Duggan and his father, Jack, have worked with the Basket Fund for years. Traditionally, they work with about 80 volunteers on the day of the food basket distribution. This year's event is set for Saturday, Dec. 21, at Tri-State Warehouse. Additional volunteers are always welcome, [Todd] Duggan reported.
In each year of its longstanding heritage, the William Hall Rodgers Basket Fund has been able to provide boxes of food staples to qualifying families who register. Program coordinators stress that 100 percent of all donations go directly to the Rodgers Christmas Basket Fund.
Donations may be mailed to First Tennessee Bank, P.O. Box 4880, Cleveland TN 37320-4880 or dropped off at First Tennessee Bank at 3870 Keith St.
Daily reminders of the Basket Fund are published on the front page of the Cleveland Daily Banner, and will continue to be provided through the end of the calendar year. Periodic updates are provided on donation totals, and individual donors and amounts are also published. Anonymous donations are honored.
Registration for this year's William Hall Rodgers Basket Fund was held at the Museum Center at Five Points on Veterans Day.
"We had more than 1,100 families to sign up this year," Duggan said. "Obviously, there's a lot of need out there, and it keeps growing. That means the effort to coordinate the Basket Fund drive is getting bigger as well."
Registration is now complete and no further names can be added to the list of recipients. But the most critical part of the drive is now at hand — the actual donations.
"Getting the donations is our biggest need right now as we head for the day of packing the boxes and distribution," Duggan said. "Although the distribution is taking place on Dec. 21, we'll actually continue to accept monetary donations through mid-January."
Duggan said the food baskets, which hold a variety of food staples, weigh about 50 to 60 pounds each. Normally included in each basket is a hen, bread, peanut butter, cereal, pasta, canned goods, potatoes, flour and candy.
"We appreciate every donation that we receive, and to those who already have donated we really thank you," Duggan said. "To those who want to help us, and who haven't as yet, we encourage you to make your contribution as soon as possible. If the pace of our donations don't pick up, we could be facing a shortfall."
Duggan pointed to a variety of people and groups who serve as volunteers for the Basket Fund. One is his own church, First Baptist of Cleveland, which provides a slew of volunteers and monetary donors.
Another is the Bradley Central High School football team whose members work on distribution day to load the hundreds of heavy food baskets.
Still another is Bill Gray and his Grace Point Motorcycle Ministry whose riders personally deliver about 120 of the food baskets on distribution day.
"All of these people and groups are just a huge help to us," Duggan said. "We also couldn't do this without the support of Tri-State Warehouse. They provide us the space and volunteers and donors. They are really key to making this happen."
In spite of it being a longstanding and well-respected Christmas drive in Cleveland, Duggan said the William Hall Rodgers Basket Fund struggles more now because of so many worthy holiday campaigns in the community. All are taking place at the same time.
"This has really cut into our donations for the Basket Fund," Duggan said. "But looking at it from another perspective, it means that Cleveland and Bradley County — and its people, organizations and companies — are doing everything possible to help area families who are most in need."
He added, "That's what the Basket Fund is doing. We know that's what others are doing as well. We just hope donors will find a way to help us all."

Is anyone familiar with Pittsburgh's Grand Distinction brand paint they make for Menards? I know Pittsburgh makes good paint because I've used it in the past. But, I am concerned about how much the quality will suffer of something they make for a home improvement store and sell for less. |
Follow-Up Postings:
i've used it in 2 rooms - i like it okay. my only other paint experience is with behr premium plus and valspar (the top of the line one, forgot what it's called). i think out of all 3, i like pittsburg a bit better. i have bought BM aura, SW duration (exterior) but haven't tried them yet so can't compare if the more expansive paint are better (the 3 mentioned above are comparable in prices). my painting experience is also limited to 4 rooms, all in egg shell, all primed with zinssar 123 and one room is painting over wood paneling (behr). |

Album review
Nico - Femme Fatale: The Aura Anthology
Christa "Nico" Paffgen's career after The Velvet Underground revealed a bleak, mandrax-and heroin-addicted proto-gothic personality that resonated with the post-punk audience. Disc one Drama Of Exile...Plus features the decidedly rockist 1981 album with eight additional tracks. Drawing on David Bowie's Scary Monsters guitar sound, the album features covers of his "Heroes" and the Velvets' "I'm Waiting For The Man". Disc two—the 14-track Live At Chelsea Town Hall 9.8.85—captures Nico's doom-laden vocals overlaying her trademark harmonium, and includes an extended version of her former lover Jim Morrison's "The End".

FDA Issues Health Warning on Use of Topical Anesthetics
Posted: January 29, 2009
page 2 of 3
Reactions are rare, but risk exists
The study points out that, although reactions to the drug are said to be rare, there is still a risk that it could cause 'serious and life-threatening adverse effects when applied to a large area of skin or when the area of application is covered.'
Topical anaesthetics using lidocaine are most commonly incorporated with aloe vera as a means of soothing the treated area and blocking any pain sensation in the skin. They are sold in most of the leading retail outlets in the United States, but are generally prescription only in Europe.
The study shows some of the medication can pass into the blood stream through the skin membrane if used on a large area, if large quantities are applied, it is applied to areas where the skin is broken, or if the skin temperature suddenly increases due to wrapping or covering the skin.
As a result of the potential health hazards associated with such topical anaesthetics, the FDA has issued guidelines for their safe use. These include:
- Topical treatments with lower doses of medication
- Applying the treatment only on areas where pain exists
- Not to be applied to areas of broken or damaged skin
- Consulting doctors about the risks associated with such treatments
- Awareness that covering or wrapping the skin can increase the temperature and risk factor.

Having played with the rats i know that some of there strengths is in there interesting magic with that in mind i couldnt just give my grey seer just any old spells so i decided to make my own the first of which is as follows:
Magic Recharge
<p> 4
Special: 5 power, add [B] if engaged
*S* With an Audible 'Bamf!' the caster disappears and reappears at any point within long range and within line of sight.
*SS* Same as above, but can target anyone friendly unit within close range even if they are engaged.
*B* After Reappearing you may immediately preform a manoeuvre for free.
{B} Caster suffers 1 wound
{S} The capricious Winds of Magic whisk you away, at the end of your turn you Reappear somewhere within close range of destination( players choose where)
Now I know that this looks very similar to a spell already made which is true however i modified it a bit to fit the skaven theme a little bit. As always i offer this up to the masses to tear to shreds and offer opinions upon.

It has been very interesting to watch the clubs of the Premier League (EPL) lobby for and against the proposed Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. The FFP rules attempt to set out a budgetary framework that aims to ensure that football clubs align their spending and income.
Having had a number of recent high profile bankruptcies this would appear to be a no-brainer for the EPL. Bankrupt clubs have a widespread impact on the club, supporters, local economy and the league as a whole. So the question is, why the need for lobbying on this particular debate?
Clubs that are run responsibly have little to fear from FFP as they are probably already adhering to the constraints on spending. In fact, this is a positive step as they will no longer have to compete against clubs that are spending recklessly or those that have wealthy sponsors. On the flip side, clubs with wealthy sponsors who have their investments subsidized would no longer be able spend beyond the income they generate. This is not very appealing to the oil and gas barons who like to tinker with football clubs in their down time. Then there are those clubs who have been promoted and want to significantly invest in order that they have a chance of remaining in the league.
But how is this relevant to IT? I would say that all this is directly relevant. IT companies engage in the same competition for talent as the EPL clubs and they often do so by offering better financial rewards to the players.
So for those companies who do not have the finances (or are too responsible) to attract talent by offering ever increasing salaries and bonuses how can you compete?
Arsenal compete by offering a strong sense of community. They have an established culture that extends trust to younger and less established players. Young players get the opportunity to grow faster than they might at clubs that spend big on transfers. This culture permeates the club from the board through the manager and to the players themselves.
Liverpool offer players the opportunity to become involved in an interesting project that has a clear vision for transforming the club on and off the field. Players can be excited about the changes in transfer policies, playing style and restoring the club to the pinnacle of European football.
What these two examples teach us is that if you are not Google, Amazon or Apple you can still compete for talent by offering something that is more compelling and sustainable than money alone.
Translating this to the IT industry companies need could consider:
- Find ways to increase the talent pool byas supporting initiatives such as CoderDojo.
- Investing in the grass roots (graduates) and focus on their growth. Support alternative routes into IT and get involved with universities to ensure that they are imparting relevant skills and knowledge to their students.
- Facilitate progression where people demonstrate out of band skills and expertise. All to often companies attach too much significance to tenure or years of experience when developing the bench for senior positions.
- Be ambitious when considering what projects to undertake and trust your team to deliver. Value their feedback and allow them to take ownership of *your* projects.
- Allow your team to *own* their workspace. Want bean bags, sure…want to invite their friends over to talk tech, no problem…prefer Linux to Windows, we'll find a way. Whatever it is you should be as open as health and safety or confidentiality allows.
- Support the things your team are interested in even if this is not directly relevant to your company (today). IT teams are really inventive and often they will see applications within your company that you cannot see. Hack days and 20% time were designed with just this in mind.
- Remove (or hide) the things that frustrate your team such as unnecessary bureaucracy.
I could go on but I'll stop now as I would never be able to come up with a definitive list. Below are some other resources who have already considered the same problem.

Here in the sport's birthplace, players are local heroes and teams command a tribal following. But Melbournians aren't the only ones who are nuts about this athletic and balletic game with the oval ball.

Life really is a breeze on the Mornington Peninsula, a summer paradise dotted with seaside villages, vineyards, beaches, national parks, galleries, golf courses, day spas and restaurants.

By car, it's less than an hour from Melbourne to the region's vineyards, villages and tall, mist-cloaked forests. Taste wine in Yarra Glen and drink Devonshire tea high in the Dandenong Ranges. Linger over a long lunch in a winery restaurant or picnic next to waterfalls on fresh local produce. Puff through Sherbrook Forest on a steam train or float over the countryside in a hot air ballloon.

Thomas Dale alum and former softball standout Lacey Waldrop signed with Florida State last year, and in her freshman season, she's off to a historic start. On February 12th, she pitched a five inning no-hitter and became the first freshman to accomplish the feat for the Seminoles since 2007.

Vancouver Canucks open season at home Saturday | NHL
The Vancouver Canucks open their lockout-shortened, 48-game season this weekend. They host Anaheim on Saturday and Edmonton on Sunday.
The Canadian Press
VANCOUVER, B.C. — The season starts Saturday and Alain Vigneault's plans already are in danger of being tested, tweaked and, possibly, scrapped.
Heading into the lockout-shortened campaign, the coach of the Vancouver Canucks wants to keep his players fresh by monitoring their ice time closely. Ideally, he would like to roll four forward lines and six defensemen.
But the absences of injured center Ryan Kesler (shoulder, wrist) and wing David Booth (groin) have created two holes on the team's second line that could dictate otherwise.
"We're going to have to do a good job, especially at the beginning, of spreading the ice time around and making sure that the minutes our players are giving us are quality minutes," Vigneault said.
Vancouver hosts Anaheim at 7 p.m. Saturday and Edmonton at 6 p.m. Sunday.
Under the extraordinary conditions of a 48-game schedule, last witnessed in 1994-95, it is impossible to predict how things will go, Vigneault said. But the team's research shows a similar roster is needed in a 48-game schedule as in the usual 82-game version.
Accordingly, Vigneault plans to stick with what he knows — a veteran lineup — and make adjustments going forward as the Canucks attempt to win a third straight Presidents' Trophy as the top regular-season team and get back to the Stanley Cup Final after losing to Boston in 2011.
"I'm going to, obviously, start with things that have worked in the past," Vigneault said. "But I firmly believe that talent has no age. If anybody can step in and contribute to this team, they will be here."
Canucks re-sign Edler
The Canucks re-signed defenseman Alex Edler to a six-year deal worth a reported $30 million Friday.
Edler, 26, had 11 goals and 38 assists last season. He was to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.

GARY--One man is dead and a second critically wounded, shot by a man who asked them for a ride in Brunswick late Monday night.
Terrell Frazier, 21, died early Tuesday at the Methodist Hospitals Northlake campus intensive care unit, a spokesman for the Lake County coroner said.
He was a back seat passenger in a car driven by Deshalone Williams, 18.
Williams stopped at a gas station at 15th Avenue and Clark Road, where a man approached and asked for a ride.
At about 7th Avenue and Clark Road, the man asked to get out of the car. He shot Williams and Frazier and fled, police spokeswoman Cpl. Gabrielle King said.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call the Gary police Violent Crimes Unit at 881-1210.

I am moving to newly bought house. The kenmore elite gas dryer was originally connected with 3/8" gas connector. I bought the BrassCraft safety+plus gas installation kit with green safety+plus valve(60,500BTU) and 1/2" gas connection pipe. Can I use this? The kit comes with 3/8" adapter. Or is it better to buy the 3/8" gas connector with purple safety+plus valve (23,800 Btu)? My dryer's output is 22000 Btu. Thank you very much. |

Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, you can use the 1/2" flex. The connector ratings are maximum btu's, not to be exceeded by the appliance. No problem with too large a supply line, pressure stays the same, and dryer only uses what it needs. |
I recommend that all gas line modifications be inspected by your gas supplier for leaks. This may be mandatory in some localities. kas |

This is just ridiculous! Both Travis Outlaw and Rudy Gay are two of the best leapers in the L; too bad this time Gay got the business end of Outlaw's fully extended tomahawk in the second quarter of the Blazers 93-79 win over the Grizzles. Got to love Mike Rice though: "Listen to this fans!"

Hi , I just bought a used Kirby cleaner with tons of accessories. I have carpet upstairs in my house but downstairs I have solid oak wooden flooring which has been treated with oil. Would it help or hinder me to have the floor polisher/buffer, which I think I can get new for about �30/$45. Thanks for any help |
Follow-Up Postings:
You might want to check with Kirby, or a quality flooring company, if they suggest the floor polisher/buffer for use with an oil treated wood floor. I remember my mother-in-law using paste wax on her varnished oak floors and then buffing them. With today's finishes, this really isn't necessary. When I had wood floors I never had to use a floor polisher/buffer on them, but they had a polyurethane finish. -Grainlady |

ut goty crashing
hi everyone
nice to see the ut community still alive here as i got new pc, i wanted to play ut goty again unfortunetaly it crashes every time on whatever os either xp pro or vista x64 i actually heard that "little" dual core issue when ut is launching i ve followed any instructions however it still continues getting crashes i may have under less 10 whole secondes before crashing it sounds like game doesnt support both cpu working for the mention, i have intel dual core E2200, ATI Readon 4850 HD, 4 gb of ram, Asus P5Q PRO as mobo using xp and soonly vista 64 bits thx in advance |
31st Dec 2008, 06:22 PM | #2 |
May we assume that you have updated all of the drivers (graphics, sound, OS (inc DX))?
Have you patched the game to V4.36? Or, reapplied the patch? I'm slightly concerned that it sounds as though you've applied a dual-core fix as that was for AMD CPUs only. I have no idea what (if anything) that will do on Intel CPUs. Finally, you need to post a screenshot of the crash message and the contents of the UT log file (found in /UnrealTournament/System/ or similar). |
31st Dec 2008, 08:02 PM | #3 |
OK, so we don't need a dual-core fix or add anything to the INI files for Intel CPUs?
31st Dec 2008, 09:11 PM | #4 |
The issue is specific to AMD CPUs AFAIK. I've never seen an Intel version of a fix.
For what it's worth, running UT quite happily here on an Intel Quad - no fixes applied. Nope. You will still have to fix the command line to set the CPUSPEED but you shouldn't need to touch the ini file because of the CPU type. CPU performance e.g. framerate limiting etc., yes but not because of the type. |

a bit late for replying due to end of year
i will give more details about game crash (this is only ut tried on pc, maybe i need to test another game) just for being quick, 1. installed ut goty 436 version + new open gl 3.2 version 2. got dual core fix stuff and set affinty manually as they recommended me to do 3. updated to the latest version concerning my graphic cards drivers 4. in fact, ut doesnt only crash. it lets pc causing freezes. i have no choice, i must eventually reboot 5. jeez cry i love unreal series but that ****ing issue let me moving off. i would never play such game who even ****ed window (must format or repair on dos) |
2nd Jan 2009, 06:19 AM | #6 | ||
There is no harm in re-applying the 4.36 patch just make sure that the key system files are OK.
By "new open gl", do you mean the one found here? http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/ Note that the latest version of that driver is 3.4. For some reason, you seem to have installed an old version. I suggest upgrading to the 3.4 version. I would also install the Direct3D8 renderer version 1.4 (as long as you don't want to use the editor) as it might be that D3D will work where OpenGL will not. As a general point, it is probably better to go back to basics and see if you can get UT running reliably in software rendering mode first and then we can add features (like OpenGL) until things stop working again. Curiously, we will be doing well when your problem turns into uneven framerates, slow and fast play. That is one we know about. Quote:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/..._13118,00.html If so, then I strongly recommend un-installing it. That utility is for AMD CPUs and not for Intel devices. I would not be surprised to discover that the AMD utility is at the root of the problem. Quote:
Is there any content in the UT log file after this? If so, can we see it? |

anyway same size of kb Quote:
its not only a simple crash as usual let me show you what its truly hapened launching ut, starting offline game first step then suddenly got an huge freeze i couldnt see anything just only a big "zoom" on a texture from map i have no choice couldnt return on window, need to reboot asap |
2nd Jan 2009, 09:20 AM | #8 | |
I've never heard of such a thing (doesn't mean it doesn't exist) and I've certainly never seen anything other than the AMD fix (which is an operating system fix, not a game fix) being recommended for use on AMD processors. Please, can you remove the "dual-core fix" and restore (if necessary) the original UT executable? At this point, the important thing is to get UT running in software render mode - Forget about OpenGL or D3D and we don't care if it runs fast/slow or whatever for the moment - we'll fix all of that later. We need to fix the crash first and at the moment it sounds as though you are either running inappropriate software (the AMD fix on Intel CPUs) or some hitherto unknown patch to the UT executable. Either of those scenarios sound good for a fatal crash. |

ok i ve done what you adviced me
i actually meet any problem while i am launching game that s a good point but ut still crashes after randomly either 30 min or 2 maps played however i was cautious i disabled most of hazardous options any idea about it? |
4th Jan 2009, 05:45 AM | #10 | |
You need to provide us with a little more detail! Which options have you disabled? Does the crash happen in XP or Vista or both? With this crash, are you seeing a freeze or a crash back to the desktop? At least we are making progress. |

She dressed in white, and had a little white roadster
from F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby (Chapter IV) on Genius
The color white is often associated with purity. Daisy wants people to view her as a naive and innocent little girl; but she is a lot more sinister and intelligent than she seems. She realizes that she is better off marrying Tom because she knows he has the money to take care of her for the rest of her life, even though she doesn't really love him. So Daisy compensates for her promiscuity and manipulativeness by covering herself and everything around her in white to give off the illusion of purity.

Purchased 'April Dawn' this week and the flowers are truly breathtaking. I read that it is one of the hardy camellias so I am wondering if it will be ok to plant this in my woodland garden under very tall oak and tulip trees. The area receives just the right amount of light and moisture but I am wondering if the camellia will be ok not planted against a house or a fence. What do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is hardy for you in 7a. When planting under trees, make sure that the trees' roots are not shallow because shallow roots will compete with the camellia for moisture and food. Local nurseries can help you identify your trees and determine if they are shallow rooted. House and wooden fences offer some protection against cold winds and pests like bamby so consider those if you thin they are worth it. But walls leech lime with makes the soil alkaline, opposite of what camellias like. Plant them away, not close to walls. Maybe, 3 feet away or so? |
I have a deer fence up so I am not too worried about bambi. We have tulip and oak trees and a small amount of beech. But the area I am thinking of has hydrangea and japanese anemone growing right now. So I am assuming the roots are not too in the way. |

I have success with many camellias in the open. |

Camforest lists April dawn as 6B. According to Ackerman and others, one of the biggest dangers for camellias in the North is early morning winter sun. (The leaf heats up but the temperatures are still really cold and the plant can't supply the leaf enough moisture.) I do have however an Adeyeka that does get some early morning sun and has bloomed nicely for four years. They are most sensitive to sudden cold when they have come out of dormancy and have new growth. Different varieties do this at different times. |

I planted April Dawn 2 years ago along with 3 other cold hardy camellias. My April Dawn did great this past winter. It is in a sheltered location, and does not get morning sun, but it was also left fully uncovered during the first big 20" snows and subsequent cold snap (many single digit nights). It had no die back and looks great now. I highly recommend this camellia for cold areas. Two others of my other camellias (Springs Promise and Snow Flurry) are also looking very good and had no die back. My Autumn Spirit did not fare so well. I will probably loose 1/3 to 2/3 of this young plant - but I am expecting it to come back. |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Sat, May 8, 10 at 12:41
I have April Dawn here in Providence (6B) and it's fine. No protection, but it's near a south facing wall and does get a little shade in the afternoon from a nearby holly tree, so the shade is year-round. I also have April Rose and April Remembered. For a fall bloomer, I have Snow Flurry. It's been around for at least 12 years and has never suffered any damage, even in the terrible January of 2004, when we had temps below zero (-6ş one night!) or at or just a few degrees above zero for nearly three weeks. In addition, the daytime temps never went above freezing, and mostly were struggling to get to 20ş, so that was a good test! |

The area receives just the right amount of light and moisture but I am wondering if the camellia will be ok not planted against a house or a fence. Avoid putting it within the drip line of the tulip tree; its sticky drippings in the spring are an invitation for diseases to get started. The camellia doesn't need anything like a house or fence, though if a house or fence are somewhere not too far away, the resulting windbreak in the winter would be nice. Most of ours are far from the house and they do fine that way. One thing you can do about the windbreak situation is to plant the camellia in a small grouping, so that all the plants within the grouping are somewhat more sheltered from the wind than they would be if planted totally alone as a single plant. All of ours that are far from the house do have some protection from other nearby large plants (rhododendrons, azaleas, and other camellias). Best wishes, |

Mark 5:24-34 – Touching or Thronging
If you have ever been in a crowded bus, elevator, subway, sporting event or walked the streets of a busy city, you will have a sense of the dynamics of the miracle found in Mark 5:24-34.
As a backdrop to this story, a synagogue ruler by the name of Jairus came to The Master and pleaded with Jesus to come with him and heal his dying daughter. In verse 24 it is shared with us that Jesus consented and a large crowd followed Christ after hearing that another miracle might be taking place. In fact, the King James Version of this verse says that a large crowd followed and thronged him.
Imagine the electricity in the air. Feel the pushing, shoving and excitement that was taking place as the large crowd pressed in on our Lord. They were going to see another miracle and the crowd wanted a front row seat in anticipation of what would be happening.
However, on the way to a miracle be captured by a precious story of a woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years. We are not told what this bleeding was or its cause. We simply know that given her physical condition, according to Mosaic Law, she was pronounced unclean and therefore was required to stay away from people. In fact, Scripture continues to share with us that she spent all that she had on doctors and healthcare, but had not grown any better, but in fact grown worse.
Enter The Great Physician whom she had heard about and said to herself that if I can just touch his clothes I will be healed. Consequently, she touches Jesus, but please realize this was no easy task.
Here was this woman weak from continual blood loss integrated with a crowd so energized and frenzied. See the frantic woman pushing, struggling, focused and reaching out through this mass of humanity for her miracle. And it occurs, she touches Jesus.
Jesus, thronged by a pushing crowd on all sides, stops and asks, "Who touched my clothes." The disciples counter and say, "You see the people crowding against you," and "yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?'" Her faith had made her whole.
And so, what is the teaching? First of all, many swarmed around Jesus, many pushed Jesus, many thronged Jesus that day, but only one touched Him…touched Him by faith. Theirs was the pushing and shoving of selfishness in wanting to see a miracle, but only one, in that crowd, experienced a miracle.
Secondly, she was desperate. Everything else that she had tried to resolve her illness was to avail. It is only when see, touch and trust Jesus and Him alone that we experience the fullness of life.
Finally, a relationship with Christ is personal. The power of His love incorporates and gathers crowds, but the intimate cultivation of His Love is built on a personal relationship.
And so, may our walk with Christ be one of touching Him and not thronging Him. May we experience our own daily miracles and not be spectators.

Register or login to join this group.
Fourteen years ago, the Students Committee initiated a Roommate Connection Service for graduate students attending the annual ASA conference. The Committee will continue to offer this service for students attending the Los Angeles, CA conference. Rather than having to post your request for a roommate to a list, the Students Committee will act as a clearinghouse for students looking to share space.
Any student (or faculty) seeking a roommate need only send a message to the Students Committee. The Committee will, in turn, forward your message on to any other student(s) that seem to be a "match." You will handle all the arrangements from there.
This service is available to all graduate students attending the ASA Conference. Please note that by submitting a request to the Roommate Connection Service, you give us permission to forward the entire contents of your message to other students seeking roommates. If the roommate connection works out, please RSVP back to the Students Committee so we can take your name off of our list.
-Your name
-Your e-mail address
-The dates you will be staying in Los Angeles, CA
-Whether you HAVE or NEED a hotel room (with location, price, etc. if you already have one)
-Any preferences for lodging
-Any preferences for roommate (e.g., gender, smoking, gay/lesbian friendly)
Please submit your requests no later than October 26, 2014.
We cannot promise to find everyone a roommate, but we will do our very best!
The deadline to apply for membership on the ASA Students' Committee is April 1! For more information, click the "Apply" tab at the top of this page.

« June 2009 Table of Contents
In the midst of an economic downturn, consumers find themselves in somewhat uncharted waters as they struggle to prioritize spending and adopt a new frugality. In light of lay-offs and cutbacks, discretionary spending seems to be at an all-time low as the global recession affects every strata of the economy. U.S. restaurant sales were down about 20 percent for the first quarter of 2009 and foodservice seafood distributors are feeling the pinch.
While many in the industry have assumed that consumers are buying seafood at retail instead of dining out, experts who sell to into retail channels say that's not necessarily the case.
As families work to trim their budget, many people agree that dining out is one of the first places to economize and higher-priced meals like seafood are usually the first to go.
The same seems to be true in the retail sector, where consumers' discretionary spending is taking a back seat to filling a household's basic needs. Supermarket seafood sales enjoyed a 7 percent increase between 2007 and 2008. But according to research by the Perishables Group, an independent consulting firm serving retail clients in the fresh food industry, fresh seafood sales fell in 2008 and even worse, seafood was the only fresh department posting negative sales numbers for the period. Fresh seafood sales declined 1.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 while produce, meat, bakery and deli grew anywhere from 2.3 percent to 5.4 percent of store sales.
"There's an interesting psychological effect happening right now. It's permeating every consumer segment. People think that they have to hunker down, no matter what their socioeconomic status," says Tom DeMott, managing partner and COO of Encore Associates, a consumer-goods advisory firm in San Ramon, Calif.
Discretionary spending is taking the hit, whether it's eating out or in retail purchases of high-ticket seafood items.
"A seafood meal lost at a white tablecloth restaurant does not necessarily translate into a retail seafood sale - unfortunately it is probably a lost seafood meal," says DeMott.
Skimping on
shrimp, salmon
Richard Enna, a sales executive with Eastern Fish Co. in Teaneck, N.J., a global importer and supplier to foodservice and retail sectors says, "People are eating out less, and when they do they are opting for species like tilapia."
Enna, who specializes in retail accounts for Eastern, says shrimp drives sales in retail as it does in foodservice. In general, seafood is still perceived as a luxury food, even if the price tag is reasonable.
"It is something that is saved for weekends, holidays and special occasions," he says.
A year ago, largely due to the National Fisheries Institute's "Eat Fish Twice a Week" campaign, according to Enna, retail customers were buying shrimp on a more regular basis despite higher prices. Since January 2009, they have not, despite prices being down.
"Two years ago it was OK to eat shrimp twice a week, now people think twice," adds Enna.
Shrimp represents 60 percent of all retail seafood sales, and if shrimp is not selling, the margin has to be made up somewhere in the display case or elsewhere in the store.
Shrimp sales also slowed as retailers began this year with excessive inventories that had to be blown out because of the pressure from banks to reduce inventory, says Enna. Add to that the fact that overseas suppliers were not lowering their prices due to unfavorable exchange rates, and shrimp, especially the large sizes, did not move.
Many retailers make their money by "grabbing the shrimp margin," which can run between 48 to 52 percent (example: 31/40-count cooked shrimp purchased at $4 per pound and retailing at $9.99 per pound), says Enna. All the while, fresh fish are being sold at a 28 to 32 percent margin, so $9.99 will not translate into more sales.
Slow salmon sales due to the collapse of salmon farms in Chile has also contributed to retail seafood department problems, notes Enna.
"Salmon was a big seller, but when Chile collapsed, fish went to $7 per pound for fresh fillets (a year ago), slowing sales," says Enna, referring to the nation's salmon farms' ongoing struggles with infectious salmon anemia.
Since October 2008, seafood priced between $4.99 and $7.99 will sell, but above that sales fall flat, says Enna.
Despite all of the bad news, Enna adds that Lent and Easter were a bit of a turnaround for retail sales earlier this year. However, retail sales spiraled downward once again with the news of continued layoffs and reports of corporate downsizing.
"Who wants to treat themselves to shrimp when they face layoffs - again, perception and the psychological effect of the downturn - even if they have the money," says Enna.
"On the restaurant side, everything still seems to be on hold until consumers regain their confidence in the economy."
Easter sales rebound
Lenten retail sales were also good for Bristol Seafood, a primary processor of haddock, pollock, cod and scallops in Portland, Maine. Larry Lindgren, the newest member of Bristol's sales and marketing team and a veteran retail account manager, says sales flattened after Easter. Pollock prices shot up 50 cents to 60 cents a pound, to around $1.50 per pound, says Lindgren.
In another example of retail seafood buyers switching to lower-cost product, chain supermarkets that were regular buyers of 10/20-count sea scallops between $7 and $9 per pound are now buying far less expensive bay scallops at between $3 and $4 per pound. Lindgren says retailers are still buying cod, but the variety of the overall mix has changed to include less expensive species like pangasius.
The outlook for the summer? Lindgren predicts plentiful haddock (a result of effective fisheries management) at attractive prices will bring news-weary consumers back to the retail case.
Retail sales strong in Europe
Cozy Harbor Seafoods, another primary processor in Portland, is also finding retail sales soft. The company is a major exporter of coldwater shrimp and lobster and finds the situation in the European marketplace not much different than here.
"The plant has been down, idle and waiting for the start of the lobster season," says Spencer Fuller, manager of Cozy Harbor's export sales. Foodservice sales are "dead" overseas, but European buyers are turning toward retail to satisfy their seafood needs, he says.
"In Europe, retail sales are up in a big way. Most of it is sold prepackaged and frozen. Retail customers think that there is value in buying frozen rather than fresh where the added cost of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) adds to the cost . They are buying larger packages of frozen product much like they do in the club stores [in the United States]," says Fuller.
The economic slowdown has not just affected the larger chains and club stores. Specialty retailers like My Organic Markets (MOM's), a five-unit chain with stores in Maryland and Virginia, are also feeling the pain. MOM's Lisa DeLima says the chain's seafood sales were down 10 percent for the first quarter. Despite the lag in seafood sales, the economic downturn is less visible at MOM's overall since most of its customers are upscale and work for the government.
"Folks are still buying seafood on a regular basis and even requesting products that are harvested from sustainable fisheries," says DeLima, VP of grocery and marketing.
Things are a bit more challenging for large grocery and perishable distributors like C&S Wholesale grocers of Keene, N.H., the nation's second largest food distributor.
"In general, trading is down and seafood sales are not at the top of the [consumer's] list," according to Jim Wallace, VP of procurement. "For a long time, salmon has been the driving force in supermarket seafood sales, but if you can buy sirloin steak at $4 a pound, well retail customers will go for that instead of fish."
Retail seafood sales are down as a result of the economy, notes Wallace, but perishable sales at C&S are up, especially for fresh fish. The company's frozen seafood sales are hard to judge at this point because of their fiscal year. Wallace contends that so many seafood buys are impulsive; even in Wallace's own home, his family is less likely to make impulse purchases of any kind.
Quality, service build sales
Phil Walsh of Alfa Gamma Group in Miami sees uncompromising quality as the key to retail success in this challenging economic climate. Although some consumers are migrating over to club stores, traditional retail sales seem to be holding albeit with compressed margins, says Walsh.
"If it's on sale it sells, if not, it doesn't. Given the choice between a split chicken breast for $1.69 and catfish fillets for $4.69, customers will always go with the poultry," says Walsh.
On the bright side, he predicts sales growth for retailers that lead with high quality. Chains such as Kings Supermarkets, Fresh Market, Harris Teeter, Giant Eagle and others are actually showing growth, he notes, but things are not going so well for chains that are simply trying to "buy on the cheap."
For any retailer to succeed in seafood the customer's experience has got to be a "win" every time, and that means zero product returns, says Walsh. If chains build their seafood departments on consistent quality and service they will be able to survive and grow in tough economic times, he adds.
More good news comes from Giant Eagle Markets, a privately owned, 230-store supermarket chain with stores in Pennsylvania, Ohio, northwestern Virginia and western Maryland. The retail chain began bucking the negative seafood sales trend in January, when its seafood sales began an uptick, according to Richard Castle, Giant Eagle's seafood buyer.
With the arrival of summer and the grilling season, things should be looking up and the overall outlook for retail seafood is promising. A new report from PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLC and Retail Forward predicts that certain types of retail outlets will experience modest growth in 2009 and this will be especially true for supercenters and club stores. The two groups expect conventional supermarkets to be the weakest financial performers.
The supermarket landscape has changed and buyers must adjust their strategies if they are going to compete for the consumer's protein dollars. Today, as people dine out less and opt for less expensive retail items, seafood retailers are presented with an opportunity, but also a challenge as meat and poultry compete for sales within the store. An informed consumer, moderate pricing, a wide variety of choices and exceptional quality will be the keys to success, fresh or frozen.

Keep Your Car Super Slick with Synthetic Oil
Oil changes are the hallmark of essential preventive maintenance at Douglas Automotive. All car owners need them; so we should get excited about a product that reduces how often we need them. Synthetic oil is more pricey, yes, but it can pay for itself by lasting longer than conventional oil. And when you add in the hidden savings of an extended engine life and improved gas mileage, not to mention increased engine power, there's a good chance that synthetic oil actually saves in the long run.
All motorists pay for car care. But understanding what we're paying for can make us more savvy shoppers.
Service with Integrity
You may assume the best place to have your car serviced is at a dealer, since they sell your make and model. However, you'll find that our ASE–certified technicians provide a higher level of service than most dealership mechanics. Not only do we know your vehicle inside and out, we have broader knowledge and experience and superior diagnostic skills, gained from years of servicing many different makes and models. And our state–of–the–art tools, equipment and information systems often surpass those at dealer service departments.
By law, any certified shop can perform service without voiding your warranty. Douglas Automotive is fully certified and completely qualified to perform any service or maintenance on your car, and your factory warranty will remain intact.

The Monday (Tuesday) Mixtape #8 By Jon K
This week's Monday Mixtape has been kindly contributed by Jon K one-time face behind the counter at the, now sadly defunct, Fat City record shop, and resident dj at discerning dances like Eyes Down and Hoya:Hoya. A man of wide ranging musical taste, the selection he's chosen here's a slice of oddball ace-ness - taking wonky dancehall and dub as it's starting point and veering off into punk, new-wave, house, techno, italo… a melting pot of genres which we'll let him explain the inspiration for:
"I was unwillingly fed a load of Bauhaus, Eno, Talking Heads, Japan etc. via my sister in the 80's, and although I thought a lot of it was rubbish at the time I've made up for it since. I always liked Reggae, but the Dancehall thing came a bit later... I heard Supercat and that was that… I guess the main inspiration for the mix was that golden period, when Reggae and Punk were crossing over regularly, the connection's been pretty well documented. One of my favorite characters from then was / is Linton Kwesi Johnson… I've just realised there's nothing of his on this, to make up for it the mix is named after his tune Want fi goh rave".
In addition to his regular dj endeavours Jon also heads up SnipSnap Music - a music research and synchronisation agency, working within the film & TV industry.
If your in Manchester you can catch Jon playing down at Soup Kitchen every third Saturday of the month.

Society & Community
How can the Church help to give a voice to people who are easily ignored by the powerful? How can Christians and others make a difference in their local communities and to the society we live in as a nation? What's most important in life and what does the Christianity have to say about the big questions we all face?
The Archbishop of Canterbury's ministry in the church, his role in parliament as one of the Lords Spiritual, and his place in public life, give him opportunities to see what others are doing in answer to these questions and to take part in public debate about the issues behind them. That might be through visiting schools and talking to the pupils and staff, through speaking in the House of Lords or writing for the press, or by spending time with clients, volunteers and staff at projects working to make a difference to the lives of those in need around the country.

Mafia II
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.2kczech.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.mafia2game.com/
Buy It Here
Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1943 to 1951 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game features a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There are around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
Mafia II sees a strong performance boost, but it's not as big as some of the other games. The best gains are seen at 2560 x 1600. More importantly, though, we move from an unplayable setup at under 60 FPS to a very playable one at over 60 FPS.

Climate Regions
Name: P.K.A. Status: Student Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
What are the major differences between the temperate deciduous forest regions of North America, the same regions in Northern Europe, and the same regions in Eastern Asia? I'm also concerned about the climate differences between these places due to the varying levels of human impact at these different locations.
I can only speak about the areas that I am familiar with, but having been in northern and temperate Europe and temperate Asia, there is not a large difference in deciduous forest type, although the latitudes at which particular similar species occur does vary some because of differences iin climate. Immigrants from Europe who initially explored and settled in North America's northeastern woodlands found them particularly similar to their own and thus were fairly comfortable (except for a couple of particularly severe winters that the Pilgrims experienced initially - bad timing on when they arrived). Climate variations do occur in these places to a small extent mostly because of human activity, such as changes made in vegetation cover and air pollution (particularly aerosols). It is thought that the slight warming in the Artic and the general cooling trend in mainland China over the last 30-40 years may be caused mostly by the amount and type of aerosols. There are people at Argonne, as well as elsewhere, who are presently looking very closely at these relationships.

Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 Preview: Devils Look to Even Up the Series
Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 3
New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils
Radio: Bloomberg 1130 AM
Well, here we are again, down 2-1 in a series, but still with a fighting chance. It's a best of 7 for a reason, but when you're dominating the games and not putting up goals, it's frustrating. Yet, here the Devils sit, heading into Game 4 tonight, down in the series.
For tonight's game, Pete DeBoer has decided to shake up the lines a bit and Jacob Josefson will make his first playoff appearance. That leaves veteran Petr Sykora on the outside looking in. It seems the fans have been torn about this decision. On one hand you have Sykora's experience and presence, but on the other hand you have a rookie that will bring fresh legs to the line-up. Hopefully Josefson is ready to bring his A-Game because the Devils need it.
Speaking of bringing their A-Game, has anyone seen Patrik Elias? For someone known for his playoff experience and clutch performances, he has come up short in this series so far with 0 goals, 0 assists and a -3. Overall in this postseason, he's collected just 5 points, 3 goals and 2 assists. The Devils need more from him if they are going to tie this series up.
And then we have Zach Parise. The Devils Captain refused to speak to the media after Saturday's game, which is very unlike him, but he's clearly frustrated. He also does not have any goals in the series, and hasn't scored in the last 5 games, but I feel like it's just one shot over Henrik Lundqvist's glove that breaks open the scoring tonight.
Now on the other side of the ice, the New York Rangers will be without Brandon Prust as he's been suspended one game for an elbow to the head of Anton Volchenkov during Saturday's game. John Tortorella has decided to go with Stu Bickel in his place for tonight's game. Also to note, Ryan Callahan's wife gave birth to their first child today, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of game he'll bring to the table tonight. He's been pretty quiet so far, save for the empty net goal at the end of Game 3, so for the Devils, that's a good thing.
As previously stated the last time we were down in a playoff series, (and it's something no one wants to think about it), this could potentially be the final home games in Devils jersey for Zach Parise and Martin Brodeur. I'm not sure about you, but I know I'm not ready for that! So, let's do this Devils. Let's win this game and force a Game 6! I haven't stopped believing and neither should you!
ONE SHIFT AT A TIME, ONE PERIOD AT TIME, and ONE GAME AT TIME… LET'S DO THIS DEVILS!!
Devils' projected lineup:
Parise – Zajac – Zubrus
Elias – Henrique – Kovalchuk
Ponikarovsky – Josefson – Clarkson
Carter – Gionta – Bernier
Greene – Fayne
Salvador – Zidlicky
Volchenkov – Harrold
Rangers' projected lineup:
Hagelin – Richards – Gaborik
Kreider – Stepan – Callahan
Anisimov – Boyle – Bickel
Fedotenko – Mitchell – Rupp
McDonagh – Girardi
Del Zotto – Eminger
Staal – Stralman
