Hi All, I'm new to this list. I have a few knock out roses and would like to get a few more roses other than the typical red,, pink and yellow. I would like to get low maintenance roses and would like a recommendation on what type to buy and a good catalog to buy from. Thanks, Nancy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nancy - There are many easy to grow roses to choose from. I am not an expert on very many types, because other than hybrid teas and floribundas I have limited knowledge, but there are many on here who are quite knowledgeable on these different types. There are many hybrid teas and floribundas that are easy to grow and the choices are endless, it's really all a matter of personal preference. There are many good companies: Regan Nursery, Edmunds Roses, Witherspoon, Rosemania, who all ship healthy roses on Dr. Huey rootstock. Palatine in Canada, who ships roses on multiflora rootstock. There are several very good companies that ship own-root roses: Roses Unlimited, Heirloom, Antique Rose Emporium, Chamblees and others. All those companies have websites. The ones that have catalogs, I'm sure would mail you one if requested. I hope others who are experts on Old Garden roses, Austins, Buck roses, and others respond to your question. |

In Pictures: A memorial ceremony at FOB Salerno, Afghanistan
Khost province, a restive area in eastern Afghanistan bordering Pakistan's tribal belt, has experienced a rash of deadly attacks throughout the winter season. The Taliban have launched a series of roadside bomb attacks and assassinated numerous local officials over the past few months. Suicide bombers, entering Khost from various transit routes in Pakistan, have also played a large role in destabilizing the security situation this winter.
Coalition forces along with Afghan National Army Commandos conducted a series of targeted raids against the Taliban's improvised-explosive engineers and suspected bomb factories in December and February. The December raid netted a key insurgent bomb maker with established links to the Hezb-i-Islami (Hekmatyar faction), the Haqqani Network, and the Taliban. The unidentified commander based his operations out of Sabari district, a hotbed for Taliban and other insurgent groups in northern Khost province. The February raid succeeded in arresting Taliban commander Nasimullah, a key insurgent bomb maker for the Yaqoubi and Sabari districts.
The success of these raids would only be temporary as the Taliban and Haqqani Network quickly responded with a flurry of roadside bomb and landmine attacks against Afghan security forces. Between Feb. 12 and March 1, the Taliban conducted at least six bombings in Khost, including one suicide bombing, killing 15 and wounding 11 others in all.
On March 3, the Taliban conducted a combined suicide car bomb attack and frontal assault against the Sabri district headquarters in northern Khost. The force of the explosion collapsed a guard tower near the compound's perimeter, killing two US soldiers and wounding many others, including Afghan policemen. Those two soldiers were Sergeant Robert Rapp and Specialist Steven Koch. This slideshow looks at the memorial ceremony honoring these fallen soldiers at Forward Operating Base Salerno on March 7.

READER COMMENTS: "In Pictures: A memorial ceremony at FOB Salerno, Afghanistan"
Posted by Renee Davis at April 11, 2008 8:03 PM ET:
Dear Phil,
The captured meaning in the slide view speaks volumes. I felt the memorial tribute as I viewed the slides in the silence of my room. Thanks for providing the time and place of putting the finger on the pulse to have voice for the scream in the head that goes unheard. I also read the highlighted links. Much information is provided on specifics in a number of reports. Also, I read the other sides' statement, "we killed 80, they only report 2," (they fail to realize how many are their own fallen) that brings me back to the memorial ceremony. Thanks for showing the value we place on each individual life. I could see in the faces of the Afghan policemen, as they witnessed with anguish, that they know we value the life of our own. It must then be meaningful to them as well that lives are contunually at danger for them.

ROLLING PRAIRIE (AP) — Two years ago, Chicago-area transplant Rick Erwin, a documentary filmmaker and visual journalist, was in the Rolling Prairie post office as he was occasionally wont to do, witnessing something he didn't usually see in that small town.
A large group of old cars parked in front of the Rolling Prairie Community Center on a Tuesday afternoon.
"And I went inside the community center and there was a sea of elders, 35 or 40 of them," Erwin told The LaPorte County Herald-Argus. "A sea of elders all sitting around having a good time. And I saw a copy of this sitting on a table."
He held up a document titled "Historical Rolling Prairie," with a forward by Don Grimm, and said the content of the book opened up a whole new world for him, a bygone world where Rolling Prairie was a significant hub for motorists traveling between Chicago and New York, a world full of motels and restaurants and commerce, a world he wanted to capture for everyone to see.
"So I started thinking, 'I need to pass through here with my camera,'" he said. "So that's what I did."
And he made it the subject of his first documentary on a small town, "Going Rolling," and will present it to the community during a free screening at 1 p.m. Sunday at the First Christian Church of Rolling Prairie.
Roughly an hour long, the documentary encompasses the history of Rolling Prairie from its start in 1832 through its emergence into the present day, with first-hand accounts supplied by local residents.
Erwin noted that between 1920 and 1940, when U.S. 20 passed through town, Rolling Prairie was a bustling community with three grocery stores, eight to 13 gas stations, a motel, bed and breakfast joints, two hardware stores, at least two doctor offices, an appliance store and a pool hall, among other offerings to motorists passing through.
And he heard a number of stories about it from residents.
For instance, there's the story of a motel owner who kept getting burglarized at night, so he stationed his dad inside the entrance of his business with a shotgun. Then one morning he found his father asleep, curled up with his gun and the money missing again.
Then there's the recollection of the Rolling Prairie Grade School fire, when the building burned to the ground; and later of the train derailment when some 70 or 80 cars fell off the track and started a fire.
So many firefighters were reportedly called down that residents had to start opening their doors and bringing out food so there would be enough for them to eat.
And Erwin spoke to Dave Surma, who once had one of the largest Christmas light displays in Northwest Indiana. Its tally was 80,000 lights.
But what really interested Erwin was a practice that took place between 1935 to about 1950 at the end of Depot Street. It was a free weekly movie sponsored by local business owners. The owners got together, hung a white sheet on a set of poles, and showed the films to the community in order to encourage residents to stay out late.
He noted the event was so popular that some residents would park their cars close to the poles in the morning, go to work, then come back afterward with their families so they'd have a good seat. He said the practice was most likely ended because of the increasing popularity of television.
But getting these stories together was another matter.
Because he was an outsider, Erwin said he had to find someone who was a Rolling Prairie native, someone who was trusted by the community and knew people in town, and could convince them to talk in front of the camera. Erwin needed this before he could start making the film.
So he found residents Gail and Russ Cavinder, who contacted knowledgeable people to come out to the shoot.
He arranged a set up in Rolling Prairie Community Center with lights and cameras and started inviting them in, with help from local filmmaker Tina Young, who he said conducted a majority of the interviews while he operated the equipment, and Annette Clark, who became his production assistant for the project.
But there was a problem. He was having difficulty finding enough old photos for the film, and people kept telling him about a large cache of pictures somewhere that someone had. After a long search, he finally found that someone — Irv Schroeder. Erwin said he had to meet several conditions before Schroeder let him borrow the pictures. He had to collect the photos and memorabilia on a Saturday morning at 6, transport them in an American-made car, and then bring them back the way he found them.
Erwin was unable to find an American car in time so he had to collect the photos and memorabilia by hand and walk them over to the community center two blocks away, despite the beginnings of a rain storm.
Now 55, Erwin said he has been making documentaries professionally since he was 19, having sold his first film to the PBS show "Image Union" on WTTW in Chicago.
Since then he has worked on the PBS show "My Sister's Keeper," about a nun, and made several of his own films including "Risking Change," about people's inability to make changes in their lives, "Hugo: Through the Storm," a short film on Hurricane Hugo, and "The Guardian Angles," about a group of kids who advocate for their community in New York.
He has also taught documentary classes at Purdue University-North Central and St. Mary's College at Notre Dame.
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Erwin moved to Rolling Prairie in 2006. He noted that the community is probably one of the last "God's countries" in the Midwest, with subtle changes throughout the years and a community that just embraces its home. He said he was glad to make this film.
"It was a story that deserved to be told," he said, "and needed to be captured as part of a history of their community."

Mojito Truffles
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Food and Drinks, Lady Kaye, Video on April 12, 2012
How to make Mojito Truffles.
You will need:
110g Chocolate – spend money here – the better the chocolate the better the truffles will be. Read the ingredients at the back and look for a slab with a high percentage of cocoa solids rather than a chemical blend of sugar and vegetable oil.
5Tablespoons of butter
170g icing sugar (sift it before you set it aside)
100ml ground almonds
2 egg yolks – the lethicin found in egg yolk is a binding agent that holds the truffle together.
25ml Bacardi Rum - (you can substitute for 25ml of another liquid if you avoid alchohol)
a drop or two of peppermint essence (again you could substitute)
a pinch of vanilla seeds
candied lime peel (zest the green part of the lime, roll in egg white then castor sugar then bake with a fan/oven door open on the… [ Read more ]

Q: I'm hopeless at writing a message that matches my flowers or my feelings. Help!
A: Choose a bouquet that mirrors your emotions and take it from there... "These flirtatious cool blue roses remind me of the sparkle in your eye the first time we met", "All-singing, all-dancing, all-grinning gladioli: these flowers look as extravagant as you make me feel", "Roses may be the queens of the garden, but you are the queen of my heart".
Q: Red, yellow, pink, white? Which roses cause the most delight?
A: According to a saying from La Republique, white roses are for love, red roses are for passion, and yellow roses are for friendship. If you're a victim of love at first sight, express your enchantment with lilac roses. For happiness, choose pink roses, which connote grace, gentleness and gratitude, and tell recipients they're a joy to behold
Reward yourself with a bouquet of fresh flowers! Surely you can think of a reason – be it all those things you've accomplished or those temptations you resist, treat yourself once in a while.

Flowers make the perfect gift for a number of occasions, especially when it comes to impressing a date. Finding a beautiful arrangement of romantic flowers can definitely set the mood for celebrating an anniversary or just giving to a woman on a date. In order to find the best flowers from Serenata, an individual needs to take into consideration their budget, the flowers currently in season, and the preferences of the recipient. These three things will make narrowing down romantic flowers easy and point the buyer to the best arrangement available.
There are so many different flowers that are commonly given to women. While some people think that roses are the perfect flower for romantic occasions, many people prefer tulips or even sunflowers. Getting an idea of the flowers that the recipient prefers is a smart idea that will ensure they love their present. Another thing to consider is the colors of the flowers. Roses can come in a variety of shades, so it is helpful to get an idea of what color the recipient likes the most.
Some of the most popular options when it comes to romantic flowers are ones that come in colors associated with love and passion. While peonies and orchids are beautiful, they don't possess the same devotion that red roses or tulips do. Choosing colors such as red for flowers can make a big impact on the recipient. It is also important to consider what the occasion is for before selecting an arrangement. Celebrating a important anniversary often calls for a large bouquet, while something simple like a first date could be as small as a single rose stem. Taking the time to browse through flowers from Serenata will help in choosing the very best bouquet for the recipient and keep it appropriate for the occasion as well.
Our florists in doncaster assure you that the flowers will arrive at your home the way you want them.

"A sign of a good economist is he or she always has two hands" says John Cochrane. Truth is, there is more to that statements than commonly thought and it is one of the things most forgotten in the economics profession. More often than not, when an economist is asked to provide an opinion on a subject, the assurance of absolute knowledge in his or her words is staggering. It is as if God Himself has come down to earth and bestowed that person with the impeccable ability of perfect foresight. In addition, the economist was also granted with the ability of saying that everybody who disagrees with him is just plain ignorant.
The problem most economists commonly ignore (maybe due to biases than other things) is that there are actually two sides in everything, from the plainest decision to the most intrigue problem the economy faces. The smart thing would be to recognise both but choose the one with less downside. For example, when the Federal Reserve chose to boost the economy by promoting programmes such as the TARP and large-scale QE they were faced with two options: do nothing and watch the whole economy collapse or do something and risk being told off for inducing moral hazard. Obviously the latter was the worse of two evils. (In case you were wondering, even with the total collapse of the economy the top 1% would still be the top 1%; the inequality would have just been greater- see the certainty I was talking about before?).
Take another example: what do you think about the government spending more than now? Most who say that this is a good idea are in danger of being labelled as communists while those who say that it is bad are about to be called Austrians. The problem here is that the question is very vague: when, for example would be a good clarification. In times of crises those labelled Keynesians would respond. But again, it depends on where you spend it and how constrained you are. Greece, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal cannot increase government spending as they are too indebted for that. In addition, moral hazard comes in again. If I am due to spend every time things go bad, why shouldn't everyone just be risky? Again, the lesser of two evils is the wisest choice here.
Probably all issues could be benefited from a two-handedness approach. Even extreme ones such as cartel formation. We all know that cartels are bad, simple because they tend to charge higher prices. Suppose now that we have a situation where a cartel is formed in an industry. In the case where no cartel exists, every firm competes by price and the lowest bidder wins. But in the case where the cartel exists, the firms agree that one of them would win each time and place higher prices. Is this bad for the state? Obviously. Is this bad for the economy? Well, it depends. If, as usual we have returns to scale, it would mean that less people are employed in a single firm than in two similar firms. In this case, the lowest bidder would get all the auctions and everyone else would be left off the market. But, at the same time more unemployment would occur than if all firms were operating as one firm needs less than all the workers!
As the reader may observe, there is no clear-cut answer to a question. Even in this most extreme of cases such as the one where cartels are involved, what would you prefer if you were a policymaker during a crisis and unemployment was already sky high? High morals and high unemployment with less spending or lower morals and lower unemployment with more spending? My answer is simple: it depends.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And then this happened: Elijah the Tishbite, from among the settlers of Gilead, confronted Ahab: "As surely as God lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand in obedient service, the next years are going to see a total drought - not a drop of dew or rain unless I say otherwise." | 1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word." |
2 God then told Elijah, | 2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: |
3 "Get out of here, and fast. Head east and hide out at the Kerith Ravine on the other side of the Jordan River. | 3 "Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. |
4 You can drink fresh water from the brook; I've ordered the ravens to feed you." | 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there." |
5 Elijah obeyed God's orders. He went and camped in the Kerith canyon on the other side of the Jordan. | 5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. |
6 And sure enough, ravens brought him his meals, both breakfast and supper, and he drank from the brook. | 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. |

Great interview with Lindelof! Love how he says if Prometheus sucks its his fault!Vodi said:Damon Lindelof video interview from 'On The Verge'
Damon talks "Alien, Ridley Scott, prequels, and what exactly happened on the island (fair warning, there are a ton of Lost spoilers)."Thanks to seeasea!
antovolk said:Full 30-min Prometheus interview with Lindelof (from The Verge, they did a 1hr interview with him, only 20min shown on On The Verge) http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/21/3030928/damon-lindelof-on-prometheus-on-the-verge
Another thing i wondered about and which is related: How does the prometheus crew know how to find the temple structure on the planet, ergo where exactly to land? So maybe the Juggernaut is sending a warning/distress call too after the engineers new creation wreaks havoc.
Its funny how Guy said in another interview that his screen time is only about 1 minute long, which makes me think that thats the short time we see him in the wheelchair and the spacesuit. Right after that some transformation might occur, leaving us with a CG version of him, for which the actor wasnt needed anymore.
Has this been posted yet?
Haven't got audio on this computer, but comments indicate some sort of twist.
Vodi said:Damon Lindelof video interview from 'On The Verge'
Damon talks "Alien, Ridley Scott, prequels, and what exactly happened on the island (fair warning, there are a ton of Lost spoilers)."Thanks to seeasea!
DeclanH said:Classy fan-made TV spot...
Bonusituation said:Good interview with Lindelof. I have a better understanding why they don't want to call it a prequel now, and I can completely get what he and Scott are getting at...with his example of Episode I-III and The Thing prequels. True prequels lock you in to pre-defined outcomes and that limits your storytelling. Yep, we all knew exactly how The Thing prequel was going to end, and in the end...it was kind of a crappy experience because of that.
But I think my interpretation of their reason is still valid They don't want to get the hopes up of ultra-xeno-fanboys only to bash them to smithereens.
Vodi said:Prometheus 'Cutting-Edge VFX Technology' article:http://electronicdesign.com/article/embedded/prometheus-takes-flight-cuttingedge-vfx-technology-73934Thanks to seeasea
Someone correct me here if I'm of.
In Aliem, the crew are awakened by the signal being picked up by the ship, on their journey back right?
So, why did they not pick up the signal on the way past the Zeta Reticuli start system, afterall, they get the signal in the film when they are going passed it?
kjohnson26 said:The company had the Nostromo diverted enough to pick up the signal or they simply had Ash adjust the course to take it to Zeta 2 Reticuli, so that when the crew woke up, it would seem that the signal was enough to have Mother bring the Nostromo to that star system.
Vodi said:Prometheus 'Cutting-Edge VFX Technology' article:http://electronicdesign.com/article/embedded/prometheus-takes-flight-cuttingedge-vfx-technology-73934Thanks to seeasea
interesting read. Some things caught my attention:
"Scott didn't use motion capture in Prometheus, though one scene took a low-tech aproach as actors carried torches in a dark tunnel. An alien character was equipped with regular red LED markers on its joints. The actors then were able to interact with the alien, and the hand animation was added in post-production based on the LEDs."
That is maybe a new scene we havent seen before in a dark tunnel with an engineer interacting with the crew.
"Hemphill and Bartlett worked closely with Ridley Scott to deliver a "gritty track with highly styled acoustic environments" in this sci-fi horror film. Bartlett recorded Sanskrit syllables that were modified and used with controls, buttons, and background sounds to provide ancient language audio motifs. "
I dont get this one. Is he talking about the controls of the Prometheus or the Juggernaut? Either way it would be quite strange.
"There's also a nod to Alien's robot, Ash, in David 8's gargly sound near the end of the film."
RIP David

From the perspective of research studies alone it would be difficult to give any firm recommendations for acupuncture as a treatment of Parkinson's Disease. There are a number of studies, some undertaken in the US but the vast majority in China, which show some positive signs, but not of sufficient change in a significant number of patients under study to draw any firm conclusions. You can see some of the studies if you google 'ncbi acupuncture parkinson's disease' - the National Centre for Biotechnical Information in the States is a convenient way to find many of the the more significant papers. There is also a Cochrane Review of a protocol for assessing the value of acupuncture, but as far as we are aware this has not been put into action yet.
With all chronic degenerative conditions the extent to which acupuncture can help has to be carefully explained. It is often, as one rather ironic patient said, a case of 'getting worse slower', and this is extremely difficult to quantify in a condition like Parkinson's where the disease progression is neither smooth nor predictable. Anecdotally there are many accounts of patients finding that treatment helps with some of the manifestations of the disease, such as the periods of rigidity and freezing, and a general sense of well-being, but these are not documented sufficiently well to be able to claim any undisputed levels of efficacy.
The best course of action is to see whether a BAcC member local to you will give you an honest assessment from an eastern perspective of what they might be able to achieve for your own unique patterns. There may be elements of how the condition manifests which they may feel that they can help.

I have 10 hydrangias all living in different environments. Last year there were TONS of blooms on all of them.This
year remontant or not, no signs of any blooms! We did have 4 consecutive nights of freeze in the late spring but there's nothing even on the Endless Summer (leaves are all lovely).. Can anyone help????? |

Got any ES pics? I would try increasing fertilizer and water in the future. Sounds like the freeze got the rest. A one-nighter of 26F in late April got 90% of my old wood buds. |
Right now I don't have any pictures of the ES or David Ramsey which are also new wood.I put down 5-10-5 every spring and they've been pretty well watered (would you use a different fertilizer?)All are leafy and otherwise doing ok.Gosh darn, I hate when we have a late freeze! I wonder if I should have burlapped them when the freeze hit... |

Nestled between two hills and perched on the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, Copacabana (Copa) is a small, bright and enchanting town. It was for centuries the site of religious pilgrimages and today local and international pilgrims still flock to its fiestas.
Although it can appear a little tourist-ready, the town is a pleasant place to wander around. It has scenic walks along the lake and beyond, is the launching pad for visiting Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna and makes a pleasant stopover between La Paz and Puno or Cuzco in Peru.

This month's author is none other than Dr. Suess!
What better way for me to join this great book luck then highlighting one of the most beloved children's authors.
The book I choose to highlight is one of daughter's favorites. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
First we read the book together and then my daughter colored this free printable.
She loved coloring the picture that appears in the book.
Then we had a one fish two fish snack inspired by Simple Girl at Home. We made a fish bowl, which turned out so fun. To make this fish bowl, prepare some blue Jello in a medium bowl. When the jello is set add some Swedish fish. My daughter loved eating and playing in this! It also great for sensory play!
Next we had a fun one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish bath activity
For this activity you'll need:
- multicolored foam sheets (I got mine at the dollar store)
- scissors
- marker
Directions: All you need to do is cut out your fish shapes from the foam and then I used a permanent marker to draw a face and fin. I cut out 2 for each color. We had yellow, blue, red, and, green.
First we made a pattern- yellow, green, red, and blue.
Then we made another pattern. This was a great way to talk about colors.
She then took them off one by one and counted them as she went. She then put them back on the shower wall counting them as she added them. Granted, her counting goes something like this, "one, two, three, six, nine,".
She remembered the book because as she kept taking them on and off she would say "one fish, two fish, more fish, more fish". While those aren't the exact words, they are pretty close. That is what I love about Dr. Seuss books. The rhyming and repetition is something that even the youngest children pick up on. She really loved this activity. She spent the remaining time in the bath taking the fish off and putting them back on. I think we will definitely be playing with these fish again!
I am so excited to be a part of the Virtual Book Club for Kids this year. I am joining with 40+ other bloggers in highlighting a new children's author each month. We will be showcasing one book from that month's author and providing an activity, craft, recipe or project to go along with the book. This is such a fun way to discover new books!

HARRISBURG — Legislation intended to fix Pennsylvania's flawed system for funding special education could be a long overdue update — or it could deliver crippling financial blows to charter schools statewide, depending whether you ask traditional public school officials or charter school advocates.
Identical bills in the House and Senate are making headway in the General Assembly in an attempt to overhaul what educators and lawmakers agree is an outdated and inequitable funding formula for special education. The legislation is based on about eight months' worth of work by the Special Education Funding Commission, chaired by state Rep. Bernie O'Neill, R-19, Warminster, and state Sen. Pat Browne, R-16, Allentown.

That's a wrap: Director Rasha Sharbatji splits from husband

Their love affair was once the stuff of romantic movies but things have turned bitter between Syrian director Rasha Sharbatji and her husband, cameraman Nasser Rakka, who - after years of married life - have announced their divorce.
Rasha took to her Facebook page to fill fans in on the bad news: "It is with deep regret that I announce my divorce from Nasser Rakka after years of marriage due to family matters".
Problems between the pair hit boiling point while they were working together on the sequel of 'Birth from the Waist'. But, Nasser assured fans that their split would cut the drama we're used to seeing from celebs in the Arab world.
She said of her former love: "Nasser Rakka is a gentleman. I respect his opinion whether I am married to him or not."
The star also hinted towards her regret that their marriage had not been salvagable with a loaded quote from the Quran: "And it may be that you dislike something that may be good for you".
What do you think are the real reasons behind the pair's divorce? Is it refreshing to see a celeb couple calling it a day without all the drama?

Stories and reports continue to break about the stimulus bill that was rushed through congress earlier this year and the fact that it has not succeeded in creating more jobs for Americans.
Still, there doesn't appear to be any leadership or a unified voice raising the tenor of outrage about this massive failure by the Democratic leaders in Congress and the Administration. The more people scratch the surface of the stimulus reports, the more they discover a government boondoggle - with non-existent congressional districts, counting jobs that were created without stimulus funding, double-counting of jobs, and unclear entities that have been credited with creating new jobs.
All the while, unemployment has reached an unbelievable 10.2%
This upcoming election cycle is about jobs and the economy - plain and simple. Every poll since September 2008 has shown that the number one concern of voters is jobs and the economy.
Voters are watching family members, neighbors and friends cope with layoffs, and many have lost their own jobs. People are surviving on smaller paychecks. Many Americans know someone who has lost their home to a foreclosure and ever increasing numbers believe the stimulus is having no effect on the economy. There is a sweeping sentiment among voters that the government is getting too large and is not responsive to the people.
Without mincing words, the trillion dollar stimulus the Washington Democrats shoved down America's throat is a debacle and is the clearest example of how they are fundamentally failing the American people in regards to jobs and the economy.
In fact, David Obey, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee and father of the stimulus bill, is now placing blame on the Administration for lack of oversight of his own bill. Even he is running scared from the mess that is the stimulus bill.
This can not be emphasized enough.
Health care reform is important and must debated and a government-run plan should be fought aggressively. However, it appears that while we focus on that, the opposition is getting a free pass on this. In reality, the healthcare legislation is a distraction to what is most important - the Democratic leadership's big government approach to jobs and the economy has failed...and this is the strongest reason why a big government approach to healthcare is wrong.
Republicans need to begin calling for accountability on this failed stimulus bill that is wrought with inconsistencies and bad numbers...and drumbeat the looming question, "Where are the jobs?"
I point you to a piece by Mike Flynn, editor of BigGovernment.com. Mike wrote a post today, Obama Stimulus Numbers: The Return of Enron-Style Accounting, comparing the reporting of the stimulus bill to Enron's reporting of it's financial reports. He's starting to see where this is heading.

A huge new player stepped into the tablet space this morning to challenge the completely dominant reign of Apple's iPad. Bloomberg had the scoop before the 200-some live bloggers in Hell's Kitchen could even get started. The device is smaller, seven inches versus ten, and costs just $199 versus the iPad's $499 price tag.
The Kindle Fire, as Amazon's tablet device is called, is missing a lot of things. It doesn't have a camera or microphone, so no Facetime communication is possible. It is WiFi only, which, having used the iPad with AT&T 3G for several months now, we believe is a huge drawback. 3G service makes the tablet a truly mobile device.
Under the hood the device is running a custom version of Android. It comes with a 30 free trial of Amazon's streaming service, Amazon Prime. We assume that the integration between the device and Amazon Prime was a particular focus.
Companies like RIM and HP that tried to challenge Apple in the tablet space have so far come up laughably short. Amazon's massive reach and consumer base could allow it to get the kind of distribution it needs to be the first serious contender, especially at such a low price point. Even if the iPad controls the top of the market, Amazon could grab up massive market share as tablet computers become as common as smartphones.
Oh, and let's not forget Amazon Prime gives folks free two day shipping on all Amazon purchases. While the technorati may scoff, the average consumer could probably find a lot to like about the Kindle Fire. That and it will be running Android, which will give the many, many Droid fans and Google Apps users out there a tablet that is easier to sync with their lives.
Wait, you didn't think Papa Bezos forgot about the upcoming holiday did you? Along with the Kindle Fire he also announced a $79 Kindle and a $99 Kindle touch. Something for everyone!
If we knew the total amount of money German banks were holding in credit default swaps on Greek bonds that would tell us just how much they will be willing to help. But . . . . not necessarily help Greece. More like help their own banks.
My guess, it will get around 1/3 of the sales of the iPad. Whatever it is, if you're really cynical you'll say it's just apple fanboys buying whatever, if you think how I do it has just got the sheer amount and quality of apps that makes it great.
And to anybody who randomly says it's not competing with the iPad, maybe it's not competing on the same market with it's price, but amazon is sure as hell going to be competing with apple on sales!

Luckily I live in Oakland, where the leaves change color for an abnormally long amount of the year - the concept of seasons is certainly confusing to me where I live since the weather is almost always nice, so perhaps it's tricky for the trees to figure out too.
Step 1: Collect Leaves
This wasn't exactly what it looked like when I collected leaves...
This would be great for my room! So making one this fall!!! :D Great work, Well done!!! <3
Thanks so much for this great idea!

Engaging with stakeholders–did you know there is a standard for it?
Hi all
I think its a sure bet that many of you, for your various sins, perform "stakeholder engagement" as part of delivering solutions to your clients or organisations. I also bet that many of you would not be aware that a standard for Stakeholder Engagement has been released. It was written by the nice folks at accountability.org, an organisation dedicated to helping organisations embed accountability into their operations at an ethical, environmental, social, and governance level.
When the standard was released, I read it with some interest, and decided to see what it would look like as an IBIS based issue map. I checked with the report authors and got the okay to do so. The result can be seen by clicking the image below.
Hope you find it of interest, and that it gives you some new insights into the art of stakeholder engagement.
Thanks for reading
Paul Culmsee

Fedora converts package keys
After discovering that some Fedora servers have been illegally accessed, the Fedora Project is, as of today, converting the signing keys for Linux distribution packages.
The Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution became aware of the intrusion at the end of August. One of the servers compromised was a server used for signing Fedora packages and as a result, the project has decided to change the key. Project leader Paul Frields writes: "While there is no definitive evidence that the Fedora key has been compromised, because Fedora packages are distributed via multiple
third-party mirrors and repositories, we have decided to convert to new Fedora signing keys."
The project developers will use the so called Phase 1 to initiate updates for Fedora 8 and 9, which will begin the conversion. From today the new packages are available on the mirror servers. Among others, the packages 'fedora-release', 'package-kit' and 'gnome-package kit' are being re-vamped.
The user will have to verify and import the updates with the new GPG key. The software guides the user through the download process but instructions are also available at Fedora-Wiki. After that, the package management receives updates as newly signed packages from a new repository.
In Phase 2, Fedora developers will not only update, but will assign new keys to all Fedora 8 and 9 releases.

Ford Freestyle Transmission Failure
blammo2013 Posts: 1of owners of a Ford Freestyle that had a complete transmission failure. I was barely able to nurse mine home at 1:00 a.m. 92,000 miles and that's all folks? Unbelievable. The dealership politely told me that I wouldn't want to pay them to fix the car it would cost more than the car is worth.
Meanwhile, the other car is a 2013 Toyota Camry with 155,000 miles and still going strong.
Guess which dealership I'm going for my next car? :mad: -
misskimbie Posts: 1My parent's have a 2006 Freestyle. Bought it new and it's paid off. Regularly serviced at the dealership it was purchased at. Just before turning over at 76k miles the tranny fails. After two weeks at Ford service they finally get it back ($6000). Drove it 300 miles on a trip the next day through the Arizona desert and the new tranny fails. Well, that's what we figured but when the dealership finally got back to us after checking it out, they informed us that the throttle body sensor failed, and they won't be able to check the tranny until they replace the throttle body and sensor ($900). Low and behold, the tranny HAD failed - slow leak of fluid and it got so hot that parts fused together and they ordered ANOTHER tranny. Two trannies in one month! Oh, then they get the car back again, and the next morning there's a puddle of fluid under it in the driveway. Seems as though someone didn't notice the pan was warped and didn't seal right - why wouldn't they have replaced that? The one saving grace was that Ford picked up the tab for the rental car for a month. But had they known the troubles and costs up front, they would have used the $7k on a down payment on a new car.
My parents have written a letter and are ready to present their complaint to Ford. What phone # is the best one to call and complain? Is it 800-392-FORD? Does anyone know what happened with the class action suit that was filed? -
cls2007 Posts: 1My story is the same as the rest. I have had my 2007 for 3ys and has 133, miles on it. I love this vehicle! I had the surge problems as well, but my brother was able to fix it for me. The transmission has been going now for over a month... I'm just waiting for it to go completely. It started with the making noise in park and neutral and now has escalated to wondering when it is going to just drop out! I am a single mom and cannot afford this $6,000 "fix" that we shouldn't have to deal with anyway! I got stranded yesterday. The wrench and engine lights came on and it would not go out of a low gear, but after letting it sit a while, it decided to go again. While I was waiting though, I called Ford. Of course there is no warranty, no recall for this "special" transmission of ours. I had a supervisor call me back today. She said the only way to get a recall is if they have enough complaints on the issue.... It is very disturbing to me that nothing has been done about this known and legitimate problem.... I encourage everyone to CALL Ford! and as often as you can. I used this # 1-800-392-3673 and then asked for someone higher after I gave all my info, including my VIN #. They did call me back and said they sent my complaint on to the Engineer Dept. I told her I would call as often as it takes for Ford to hear our "voice"!
freestyleblues Posts: 1In January 2005, my husband and I purchased a brand spanking new 2005 Ford Freestyle, right off the showroom floor. This was my first brand new vehicle (usually buy used). We were thrilled because it was just what we needed for our expanding family. Well, during the test drive, the brakes squeaked and we thought well it has been sitting on the showroom floor and they changed them before we made the purchase. So that was that. A few weeks later the catalytic converter went out and had to completely repair (covered under warranty) and they provided a rental for a few weeks. We were told that the replacement parts were in the making and that it may take a while to receive and repair vehicle. Of course, we had them check the vehicle completely and told them to repair any and everything that seemed suspicious. Maybe a year or so later the throttle had to be checked. Fast forward. A few years ago (2010), my a/c went on the fritz. It only blows cool air when traveling at 50+ mph, other than that, it blows air equal to the outside temperature. In other words, if it is cool outside it will blow cool air and the same if it hot. Yes, it was serviced and was told to add freon, and that was no help at all. So now my climate control is out of control. In 2011, freestyle began surging. It surges while driving, while at rest and when in park it gives out a big surge/revs up tremendously. It still surges today. In 2012, for a few months, I began to hear a popping noise under the hood when I turn on/off the a/c (mind you the a/c is still on the fritz--will cost $$$$ to change compressor--was told that it COULD BE the compressor) as well as when I turn the engine off. In 2013, for a few months the popping noise came back and then disappeared, and the a/c could only be turned off after I turn the engine off (then I press the a/c off button then turn engine back on and discover it is off). Today, I can't turn the a/c off at all--it just doesn't shut off. A little over a week ago when I went to get my inspection, the service technician puts my vehicle in reverse and the engine shuts off completely (never did that before). So he started the engine and proceeds to place the vehicle in reverse and it did it again. Of course, I am shocked but not shocked. So they performed a quick service check on it and could not determine the reason and it didn't/haven't done that since that day. The engine light goes on and off leaving us unsure of if/when there is a problem. My husband and I do our best to not drive the vehicle unless it is a dire need. We have been the only owners and can't believe we are having major problems with what we thought was a reliable brand vehicle. I have been reading and trying to stay abreast as to what other problems Freestyle drivers are having and have decided to post something because this is just utterly ridiculous of Ford.
christinalyn Posts: 1I am sad to read how many other people are going through the same thing! It seems the USA there is a class action suit against FORD, but not yet in Canada. I have contacted a lawyer about this. We all need to come together and hold FORD accountable for this. Please everyone comment so we can gather the info we need.
slusher2 Posts: 2I traded my WrenchLight in on a new vehicle and was completely upfront with the dealer (not Ford) about it's problems. The dealer actually asked me about it first, if I had the tranny problem. I got $1200 on trade in which I thought was decent, considering I was able to sell the new tires I had just put on it separately and put the old ones back on.
However, buying this car as a one year old low mileage dealer vehicle, and paying $22,000, to have it be worth $1200 less than six years later is a disgrace. I have a ten year old Sunfire that's worth more than $1200.
And critics can't say that Oh, that was dealer trade in value, because there is zero value on the private market. It is an untouchable vehicle. -
gracey2005 Posts: 1I purchased a 2005 ford freestyle with a slight noise took to get fixed 3500 then 6000 for cvttransmission replacement basically the car not worth I was able to drive for 2 months and a half the transmission failed wen parked on a hill car would not come out park wrench light came on turned car off and as hubby pushed to get offf hill drove home haven't drove since.I waist 2000 on This vehicle couldn't afford to waist no money. We bought it For a second car But didn't work got what I paid For I don't know but we did Love the vehicle
bilnic2004 Posts: 1I suggest all of you with problems with the freestyle to got to the fords customer service and file a complaint. It will take large numbers for them to fix this problem. I have been chatting with them on facebook @ ford service. Please take your complaints there and demand a recall

Re: How often should we reboot hbase cluster---looking for best practice
+1 what Harsh said. It sounds to me like you are putting a bandaid on a
flesh wound. We should do further analysis and get your cluster to a stable state rather than repairing it weekly. Can you also describe in more detail everything you are running to do the repair in 90.4 fixing an overlapping region is not an easy task by any means.
