So, when you bought out every lighted Christmas decoration at every single Lowes store, were the rest of the people in Florida mad at you? Man! I've never seen so many square feet of lighted decorations in ONE yard and house. You two are quite a team. Wish I could bring my grandchildren there to walk through it. Thanks for sharing it with that wonderful video. |

Once among the GOP favorites, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist says he will now run as an independent for the upcoming midterm elections.
Many Republican leaders have turned against Crist since he announced the decision, Thursday.
"I don't have either party helping me. But I need you. I need you more than ever," the governor said, surrounded by supporters carrying signs including "Democrats for Crist."
Florida's election offices are preparing for a three-way race between Crist, Republican Tea Party favorite Marco Rubio and likely Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek.
The governor's chances of winning as an independent seem slim. Many Republicans fear his switch will lead to a split vote that would benefit the Democratic nominee.
Crist's odds as a GOP candidate were even less. A recent poll showed Crist more than 20 points behind Rubio in the August primary.
CBN News White House Correspondent David Brody has been following the Florida Senate race. Click play for his comments on Crist's decision to run as an independent and what voters are saying.

''The Amazing Race'': A relationship falls apart
The Amazing Race posed an interesting philosophical question: If a couple with zero chemistry splits up, does it count as heartbreaking? I'm referring of course to Ron and Kelly, whose relationship has the combustibility of wet socks.
They never seemed to have much of a spark. It appeared to be a relationship of necessity: Beauty queen Kelly needed an escort, and ex-POW Ron was just happy to be around someone who wasn't calling him an American dog. They were like Romeo and Juliet if Shakespeare hadn't come up with the whole ''warring families'' angle and had fallen asleep halfway through writing act 2.
I knew the adversity of the race wasn't bringing them closer together last week, when they came in first: Kelly gave Ron the kind of polite hug and peck on the cheek that pageant queens robotically give when they get the key to the city from the mayor of Craptown. On this episode, Kelly confessed that to strengthen their strained relationship, she was reading a passage from the Bible and substituting her name for the word ''love.'' I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the episode she had moved to a more secular tome and inserted Ron's name in Green Eggs and Ham. She does not like Ron in a box, she does not like Ron without socks, she does not like Ron at a bash, she does not like this redneck trash!
The Race producers clearly wanted to indicate Kelly's annoyance with Ron, but there wasn't much in her expression to indicate that she was that annoyed. We would get these quick zoom-ins to her face while angry, dramatic music crescendoed, but she looked totally unfazed. Even the explosive moment when she thought Ron told her to ''shut the F up'' and she called him a redneck seemed oddly disconnected. The whole thing sounded and looked strangely edited, as if words were pulled out of disparate sentences and shuffled around to create the illusion of an outburst. And the illusion of a personality.
Granted, Ron did seem a bit prickly. He kept picking at her about bailing out of the head-balancing challenge, even though he didn't seem to be faring very well, either. But then again, he was a POW. That's like an automatic ''Get out of blame free'' card. During the presidential election, we all saw what happens to people who are perceived, rightly or wrongly, as not supporting the troops. So good luck taking Kelly's side; you might as well change your name to Uday.
At the end, Ron and Kelly were barely speaking. Ron said that they were ''starting to get up under each other's skin finally!'' which leads me to believe that either Ron just saw Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and utterly missed the point or he has desperately been looking for an out. As for Kelly, she said that she hoped to help their relationship by putting the Lord first. Oooh, sorry, Kelly: God's busy right now trying to help Jerry O'Connell's brother get lucky on The Bachelor, and then he's got to help Tonya get some on the Real World/Road Rules Inferno 2. But as soon as that's done, he'll be right over to sort out your love life.
Meanwhile, the other teams are just getting pulled closer together. Uchenna and Joyce had a relatively smooth ride; their botching of a task (by pulling a ribbon off a post instead of taking the whole post) didn't upset their standing at all. And Lynn and Alex stayed calm even through two car breakdowns. I admired Lynn's supportive words to Alex that even if they lost, he had done a great job. So much so that I will choose not to negatively interpret his statement that Uchenna and Joyce were ''born'' to carry objects on their heads.
As for Gretchen and Meredith, it's impressive that they're still hanging in there. Gretchen looked awful for this leg, all bruised, battered, and filthy. After the abuse she took last week, I cringed every time she came onscreen, expecting more disasters. When she and Meredith were driving through the back country, I was convinced that she was going to fall out the car door and have her head stepped on by a passing elephant. And then Phil would drive by, make her give him her shoes for coming in last, and then speed off again as the vultures started circling.
And of course, Rob and Amber kept calm and had the audacity to seem like they were having fun, which must make Lynn and Alex's heads explode like their car tires. But the most touching teammates were the ill-fated brothers, Brian and Greg. I still don't know who was who, but they really seemed to have a good time and enjoy each other's company. Maybe Kelly should look to them for guidance: They're not God, but they give each other really cool handshakes. And as the man says, dudeliness is next to Godliness.
What do you think? Are any of the teams growing on you? Do you like it or hate it when the show focuses on bickering couples? And could your relationship survive The Amazing Race?

Use them for organizing accessories for my vintage business and assembles well and very sturdy.
Delivery was surprisingly quick ... like 2 days quick. The product was well packaged. Assembly was super easy; almost child's play. I had it put together in under 20 minutes ... even with the complication of limited lighting. The rack is sturdy and the bins are generous.
If you are looking for that perfect storage unit for pantry, garage, etc. this is it. Made like a piece of quality shelving. Perfect size bins, not to small or to big. We use them as pantry shelving, they work so well. I would recommend this item to anyone who is looking for the perfect storage shelving.
I rarely review an item but yall need to know this thing is incredibly frustrating to assemble and I almost bought two of them. When I opened the box I knew it was just what I was looking for. The instructions are good and it looked like it would take 30 minutes to snap together. 3 hours later I was still pounding with a rubber mallet, bending some of the structure and pure torture for my bad shoulder. Quality materials except for those plastic pieces that pop off with each pound. You pound one side in and the other side of the shelf pops out sending that plastic piece flying. If it holds up I still may buy another because it is just perfect for what I wanted it for, storing tools. Maybe 4 people with 4 mallets could synchronize each swing and finish faster. Also wish it came with more tray dividers or more I could purchase.
Great product. Easy to put together. Had an issue with a broken bin but Overstock's excellent customer service took care of the issue.

Port Maria Holiday Apartments & Villas(2)
Didn't find what you're looking for?
View all 605 North Coast Jamaica Holiday villas and apartments or all 737 Jamaica Self catering
Port Maria is the capital town of the St. Mary parish on the beautiful island of Jamaica. Once an important port, the town sits inland from a wonderful horse shoe shaped bay with steep hills as its backdrop. The town is quiet compared to other tourist areas of Jamaica which makes it an ideal location for renting an apartment. You still have access to various outdoor activities in Port Maria, but you are guaranteed to be secluded from the crowds and bustle.
Going on a Port Maria holiday is one of the best ways to find peace and relaxation alongside fun and adventure. The town has its own beautiful sandy beach where visitors can enjoy a spot of swimming, sunbathing, diving, snorkelling, sailing and fishing. Other activities available in the town include cycling and hiking, thanks to the hilly areas above the bay of Port Maria.
One must-see when on holiday in Port Maria is Firefly, the holiday home on Jamaica of the famous playwright Noel Coward. The house is now a museum and Noel Coward's final resting place. Firefly was built on a high point above the town which was once the look-out point for the pirate Henry Morgan. Not only is Firefly one of the best places to get stunning views of the town and the sea, it is a perfect subject for those who are keen on painting, drawing or photography.
No trip to the wonderful island of Jamaica would be complete without venturing further a field to the capital city of Kingston. If you can tear yourself away from your wonderful Port Maria accommodation, you will find culture, music and Jamaican history in abundance. Fans of the legendary Bob Marley should make a stop at the museum in the city, which was the star's former home. There is a lot of information to be found here including a tour of the museum and a film about Marley's life.
Nature lovers will want to visit the Hope Botanical Gardens which not only provide peace and tranquillity away from the centre of the city, but a collection of immaculately green lawns and sprawling palm trees. Adjoining the gardens is Hope Zoo where you will find many animals including crocodiles, flamingos, zebras, lions, gazelles and the Jamaican Fruit Bat.
Port Maria lies on the coast but is 1,000 metres above sea level which means that it is slightly cooler than other areas on the island. The warmest months are between May and September. The months of July and August are the hottest in the town with temperatures reaching a daytime average of 28°C. The good news is that there are regular sea breezes to help visitors stay cool. Visitors should note that Jamaica is within the hurricane and earthquake belts although these incidents rarely occur.
Travellers can arrive at Norman Manley International Airport (KIN), which is just under 70 kilometres from Port Maria. There are a few operators who offer affordable direct flights to Jamaica including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Airways. Other airlines offering indirect flights include American Airlines, Air Canada and Caribbean Airlines. Passengers can depart from various UK airports such as Gatwick (LGW), London Heathrow (LHR), Aberdeen (ABZ), Edinburgh (EDI), Leeds (LBA) and Manchester (MAN).

Mac OS X printing
In order to reliably print under OS X the following steps should be taken:
Enabling LDAP
Our Mac printing infrastructure utilizes Apple's Open Directory software to share printer and queueing information with client Mac. To utilize this a host must have LDAP enabled in its Directory Access settings. This is detailed below.
Note: if you are using a version of OS X prior to 10.4 please look here.
The Directory Access configuration utility can be found in /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access. When opened the windows appears as such:
The Directory Access configuration utility may look slightly different on your system depending on which services you are using. To make changes click the lock icon in the left hand corner, highlighted above. This will prompt for your username and password.
Once authenticated the lock will appear unhinged and the configuration utility will undim. If not already checked check the box to the left of the "LDAPv3" service name. Make sure that the "LDAPv3" service name is highlighted. Click the "Configure..." button at the bottom of the window:
A new window will open up as seen here:
Add a new server by clicking the "New..." button, highlighted above. This will open a new window and create a blank server profile like so:
The server name must be filled in, it is "osx.srv.cs.cmu.edu". The information entered should appear as follows:
Click the "Continue" button in the right hand corner. This will expand the window as seen here:
Click the "Continue" button again and the information will be saved and the configuration completed. You may then click the "OK" button:
This will return to the main Directory Access window. You may now close Directory Access.
Now the system is set to request printer and queueing information from the SCS OSX print server. When adding a printer there will be several printers listed as "Open Directory". These printers are being provided by the Facilities OS X print server:
Disabling NetInfo
NetInfo is part of our legacy OS X printing infrastructure. It has been replaced by LDAP. If not disabled there is a risk of system instability. It should be noted that once NetInfo is disabled all printers added via NetInfo will no longer work. These can then be deleted and readded once Directory Access has been configured to use LDAP. If your printers were added using LPD/LPR they should continue to print normally after NetInfo has been disabled.
To disable NetInfo open the Directory Access configuration utility in /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access. To make changes we need to unlock the utility by clicking the lock icon and authenticating:
Uncheck the "Netinfo" service and click the "Apply" button as seen below:
NetInfo is now disabled. You may close the Directory Access configuration utility.

text: Second-label Bordeaux—less extravagant versions of more famous wines—are the hidden gems of France's most prestigious vineyards. They tend to reach their prime closer to release and are therefore often the better choice. A second-label Pavillon Rouge, for example, will display a good measure of the greatness of Margaux for a fraction of the price and at an earlier date. Second labels can run from $50 to $120, so they're not cheap, but the price difference can be as much as 80 percent. When a great vintage is declared, the second-label strategy really kicks in. Consider 2000 Bordeaux: A bottle of 2000 Latour now costs $600 to $800, but a wine like that needs ten or more years in the cellar. The 2000 Les Forts de Latour, the winery's second label, is much more approachable. I compared the 2000 Les Forts ($100) to the Latour 2001 (the latter from a lesser vintage but still $300). Both were exquisite, but the Les Forts sang (especially after a full hour breathing). It had a juicy, herbal, slightly cedary nose blended with amazing fruit, and, in the style of a great Bordeaux, it was so tightly integrated with oak that it had none of the overbearing wood typical of young American cabernets. The 2001 Latour had a perfumed, flowery bouquet and distinct intensity, but it still needed years to unwind. Many reds are simply drunk too early; the second-label strategy delivers first-class wine with a lot less waiting.

text: It's the nature of a small winery business that once one large project is done, we're on to another (it keeps thing interesting – or at least that's what we tell each other!). Now that the new winery and tasting room are in tip-top shape, we've moved our focus on to a new landscaping project on the property. We've been excited to start this one: when we first looked at the property and saw the large, flat parcel in front of the guest house surrounded by views of the magnificent Palisades Mountain range, we all looked at each other with eyebrows raised and said, "Parties!" We knew we were looking at the perfect place for wine lovers to gather, relax and share great wine and food while gazing at the purple-tinged mountain range in front of them. We'll be anxious to show off the setting when the landscape project is done in a few weeks, so stay in touch for your invitation to join us for a harvest get-together.

Baptist Heart Center receives Carson-Myre Foundation gift
Baptist Health Paducah Foundation recently received a $61,523 grant from the Carson-Myre Charitable Foundation for new Baptist Heart Center equipment.
The funds will be used to purchase two machines for stress tests and an elliptical trainer for the Cardiac Rehab Center.
The foundation was started by the late Jane Carson Myre and, her husband Louis Myre, M.D. In 2007, the Carson-Myre Charitable Foundation gave $500,000 to the Baptist Heart Center just before it opened.
Dr. Louis Myre, a retired internal medicine physician, was on staff at Baptist Health Paducah for approximately 30 years before retiring in the mid-1980s. In the 1960s, he, along with Drs. C. Pittman Orr and W.P. (Pete) Hall, set up the hospital's first cardiac ward with five beds. The Cardiac Heart Center bears his name.
For information on the foundation and how it assists the hospital in carrying out its mission, contact director Laurie Latham at (270) 575-2871.

Last Sunday, 198 riders started the Tour of Flanders. Gatis Smukulis of Ag2r-La Mondiale did not take the start for unknown reasons. And Lorenzo Bernucci of Lampre woke the morning before the race with a temperature and flew home.
Or so, that was the story Lampre officials told.
In reality, reported the Italian sports daily la Gazzetta dello Sport, Bernucci's home was raided by the NAS, the Italian anti-drug police, along with the home of teammate Alessandro Petacchi.
That would get my temperature up too.
It's unclear if anything was found at Petacchi's residence, but the raid on Bernucci's home reportedly turned up several banned drugs, including albumin, a plasma expander that's designed to lower hematocrit levels; and Sibutramine, a banned appetite supressant that Bernucci has had experience with in the past. The team has suspended Bernucci, but Petacchi may start in tomorrow's Scheldeprijs, where he is defending champion.
The raid, it turns out, is part of a new doping investigation (codenamed Via Col Doping) in Italy that Gazzetta claims could involve as many as 54 cyclists. The investigation pivots on testimony of Emanuelle Sella, the young climber who tested positive for CERA at the 2008 Giro d'Italia and offered information in exchange for a reduction in his suspension. Sella never rode for Lampre but, says Gazzetta, the team is squarely in the crosshairs of the investigation.
A central figure of interest is Guido Nigrelli, a cycling coach and horse trainer who Gazzetta says has a long relationship with Lampre manager Guiseppe Saronni. We should know by now that anytime you mix cycling and horse racing, something bad is probably afoot. (Nigrelli's name also came up in the 2001 Giro d'Italia raids.)
Gazzetta also says the doping ring could involve the Austrian lab Humanplasma, which played a role in the doping investigations of Gerolsteiner riders and Michael Rasmussen.
So how does this relate to Vacansoleil? They could stand to benefit.
Already Lampre had been in potential trouble this season with the UCI, but there, over the financial requirements and audit procedures required of ProTour teams. Last winter the team was granted a provisional license through March 31, pending production of the required information.
On April 4, the UCI announced the team had satisfied its obligations and would be awarded its full license. Around the same time, the 22 teams for the Tour de France were announced and, as expected, Lampre was among them. As a ProTour licensee prior to October of 2008, the team is guaranteed a start spot.
But Tour promotors Amaury Sports Organization look dimly on doping scandals. If the Via Col Doping investigation turns out to involve Lampre riders or personnel in any detail, that invite could be revoked swiftly.
And that's where Vacansoleil comes in. The team has been one of the most aggressive in pro racing this year. At Flanders, for instance, they figured in early breaks and Bjorn Leukmans was the only rider who could stay with Philippe Gilbert on his counterattack (Leukmans finished fourth, since Gilbert is a far better sprinter).
That would put the Feillu brothers, including last year's breakout talent Brice, back in the Tour and provide a key animator of the early stages in The Netherlands, Belgium and northern France.
I've already made the case that Vacansoleil is a better fit for the Tour from a sporting perspective. Who knows, perhaps they're better from an ethical one as well?

Yesterday, I got an umberella plant(sedge?)It is in a 3 gallon container. I live in the South and have lots of places in my yard that are very wet. What I need to know is, should it be planted in sun or shade, I can accomodate either. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi I've never found a place it won't grow lol Will even tolerate drying out. Probably does best in full sun with standing water. Like many water plants it tends to become invasive at least in my zone. gary |
- Posted by JustAVoice z8 MS (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 05 at 6:53
Thank you Gary, I'll get it planted today. Just wanted to know the right light. You've been a big help. Tami |
Can the umbrella plant make it through winters in my zone? I want to plant mine outdoors, but hesitate for fear of losing it. |
Kinseeker, I'm not sure if hardy in your zone, but easy to split root system (I just use old steakknife) so you could have one inside for safety. Makes an easy houseplant, just keep very moist and give good light. Also easy to start new plants by cutting off "umbrella tops" leaving a couple inches of stem. and then pushing stem down into wet soil until center of umbrella is below soil an inch or so. Roots will form around center portion of each umbrella and stems appear on top. Rather hard to explain. Or umbrella tops can be floated on water until you see roots/stems begin to form. |
Kinseeker: I did have umbrella plant winter over in my bog garden a few years back, before I moved. It was a rather mild winter & the bog garden was in a sheltered spot pretty close to the house. I have not had this plant overwinter again outside, unfortunately. Best luck! Dan |

The Depressing State of the British Electorate
Here's something to depress you. YouTube, hosts of the next Election debate, are offering viewers the chance to submit and 'vote' for questions. Just click here – http://www.youtube.com/ukelection
Your question can be placed in one of five categories – Economy, Foreign Policy, Law & Order, Health & Education and Miscellaneous (a rather broad category that presumably covers everything from Arts spending to Electoral Reform to 'Who would win in a fight, Ninja Turtles or the SS?') – after which other site visitors can vote on whether they like it.
A few minutes of clicking through the questions offers some idea of which members of our society take the keenest interest in political discussions. There are -
People who can't spell,

Gordon, why don't you wear an eye patch? We will respect you, and most of us don't really like you and make fun of you in the first place. Cameron, why do the conservatives act like children crying out 'your mother' jokes? Nick, who are you?"Seriously.,
Taxi drivers:

'All you have questions they are belong to us now' types:

With all the hoopla over Kentucky beating Louisville and rising back to No. 15 in the national rankings this week, Kentucky coach John Calipari made it clear on his weekly radio show that he has not forgotten about some players who didn't play against Louisville.
"Two guys we can't lose are Marcus Lee and Derek Willis. We have to make sure they are engaged," said Calipari. "This program needs them and this team needs them."
Neither freshman played against Louisville. Lee has played 78 minutes in 10 games and Willis 21 minutes in seven games. Lee has 36 points, 21 rebounds and nine blocks while Willis has 14 points and four rebounds.
Senior Jon Hood has also not played since suffering a head injury in practice. Calipari emphasized that Hood is now cleared to play, but he has played just 18 minutes in four games.
"He is practicing great. Really taking on a leadership role," the UK coach said. "I am really proud of how far he has come. He is the greatest kid that has come through this program, he really is."

Vietnam North to South
Vietnam, Discovery, 14 days - from $1,915 (land only)
Meet the locals!
Experience Vietnamese village life on a unique 4-day trek through Pu Luong National Park with overnight homestays in wooden stilted houses.
- Hanoi to Saigon, a cultural and colourful tour of Vietnam
- Cruise UNESCO listed Halong Bay aboard a traditional Junk
- Unique four day trek with welcoming overnight village homestays
- Take the famous Reunication Express train from Hanoi to Hue
- Relax in comfortable bungalows on the Mekong Delta
From sightseeing in historic Hanoi and homestay trekking in the North, to the exotic delights of the Mekong Delta and the nightlife of vibrant Saigon in the South; this discovery holiday is a comprehensive and colourful taste of Vietnam. We start out in the 1000 year old city of Hanoi, the former capital of French Indochina. Travelling inland to spend 4 days in a beautiful reserve area close to the border with Laos, we trek between friendly hilltribe villages in the Pu Luong National Park, meeting the local people and experiencing first hand the rural life of these remote and intriguing communities. For this section of the holiday we have arranged overnight stays as guests of three different villages. We also explore the forest of impressive limestone spires at Tam Coc, both by bicycle and by way of a sampan cruise on the network of canals. Then it's out to Halong Bay, for some great seafood and a night on a comfortable and traditional junk boat. We begin our journey south with a night on the Reunification Express sleeper train, an experience not to be missed! Arriving in Hue, we cruise the Perfume River in search of ancient palaces and pagodas before helping to prepare dinner in a cookery class. After a short flight to Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, this unforgettable holiday signs off with a stay in comfortable bungalows on the atmospheric Mekong Delta, where we can hike through lush orchards and take a boat tour. As a grand finale, our tour ends in bustling Ho Chi Minh City where we have the opportunity to sightsee or hunt for souvenirs.
Is this holiday for you?
This is primarily a touring and sightseeing holiday at low elevation, that includes a continuous 4-day trek through the forest, farmland and hill-tribe villages in a nature reserve close to Quan Hoa. On the 4-day trek, each day's walk will be between 4 and 6 hours and overnight stops will be in simple homestay accommodation. Several means of transport are used during this holiday, including road, train, plane, bicycle and boat. The combination of different means of travel and the variety of accommodation used will mean a degree of flexibility will be required, although this diversity is part of the charm of this trip.

There's just something so Jets about the way a Darrelle Revis trade is being pursued. Or maybe it isn't being pursued at all, and that's the problem.
If the Jets don't intend to pay Revis (and they don't), and if they therefore don't intend to make him the long-term anchor of the defense on a rebuilding team (no, they probably don't), then they need to promptly seek the next best option: trade your most valuable asset, for multiple assets.
It's just such a simple, logical solution, which is why the apparent avoidance of said problem solver is the most Jets thing to happen on this toxic team in, well, maybe a week or two.
New general manager John Idzik presumably and likely doesn't want to dedicate something in the neighborhood of $16 million annually to someone who doesn't play quarterback. Fine, whatever. If Revis was fully healthy, maybe the direction here would be different, and maybe there be much more willingness to make him the defensive Joe Flacco. Hand arguably the best cornerback in the game all the money, and then continue the reconstruction of a respectable defense from there. Done.
But the lack of willingness to do that is understandable. Beyond the health problems and Revis' continued rehabilitation from a torn ACL, there's the matter of the Jets' roster, and the various other concerns which need to be addressed without a large wad of cash being tied up in one position. For starters, at some point respectable quarterback play needs to be a thing.
So trade Revis, and preferably do it sometime within the next 17 days before interested teams look elsewhere and address their needs during the draft. Oh, what's that you say, Jason Cole? One interested team — no, maybe the only interested team — is getting sort of pissed?
That would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team that owned the worst secondary in the league last year, one which gave up an average of 297.4 passing yards per game. General manager Mark Dominick started to plug that leak by signing safety Dashon Goldson during the opening days of free agency, but with the poor play of top corner Eric Wright, a true shutdown talent is a priority in a division where stopping Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, and Cam Newton needs to happen.
The Bucs are then the leading trade partner, but according to Cole, they're getting tired of Idzik's heel dragging. That's a damn shame, because the price they're willing to pay is a heavy one:
The Buccaneers are not only willing to trade a combination of a first-, third- and sixth-round picks for Revis, they are also willing to pay the corner in the area of $15-16 million per year on a long-term contract.
Idzik, who did not return a text message sent to him by Yahoo! Sports, has been coy about trading Revis. He has repeatedly said he is not "actively" trying to trade Revis, though multiple teams have said he is willing to listen to offers.
That's a pretty sweet haul, John, and one that would placate both the Jets, and Revis' contract demands. So it seems right now is the time to either relieve yourself, or remove your arse from the pot entirely.
But hey, the Jets still inexplicably employ Tim Tebow, so this could take a while.

I'm in southwestern KY in a home we bought over a year ago. There's a tree out front & to the side maybe 15 - 20 feet tall, with what I think you call compound pinnate leaves. I've not seen what kind of nuts it makes yet, and would've guessed it for a black walnut. It's not a black walnut. Whipped out my copy of Native Trees for North American Landscapes and did some checking. Black Walnut doesn't have a terminal leaflet, and this tree does. Pecan Trees have a larger number of leaflets. This tree tends to have either 3 or (more usually) 4 leaflets on each side, plus a terminal leaflet, for a total or 7 to 9 leaflets on a leaf. Bark seems fairly smooth, at least at this stage of its life. Any idea what this tree is? I don't know whether it was planted deliberately or is native or not. Thanks in advance! Richard. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some type of Ash, I think. Fraxinus is the genus name. |
Thanks. If so, that leaves the quandary about what (if anything) to do with it. I wouldn't plant an ash tree due to the threat of eventual emerald ash borer attack (they have been collected in some countries in KY, though as yet I don't know them to be present in mine). Considering how long trees live, this raises the question of whether it's 'just a matter of time,' and removing the tree now better than waiting to the borers trash it in 10 years or so. Bummer. I've got almost no experience with ash, but that's a nice tree. Richard. |
Frankly, I say enjoy it while you have it. It may be one of the lucky ones to survive and lend it's genes to new cultivars of resistant trees! |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Thu, Apr 12, 12 at 20:28
Does it turn yellow to purple in the fall? Once we decide on ash if I recall white ash has a "u" shaped leaf scar, green ash some other shape lol. I like ash trees. Shame about EAB. St Louis is on the fringe now also so I have similar concerns. |
That's definitely not a hickory. It looks like an ash, but I'm not too familiar with distinguishing ash bark on young trees. If I had to guess I would say it could be a green ash. |
I don't remember what the Fall color was like last Fall. Thanks for the help, everybody. I'm still mulling over whether to take it down while it's fairly small, vs. risk letting it get big and the bugs kill it. Richard. |

Press Release
UA undergrads mentor high school students
Eller College MIS students take information technology to the community during spring break
TUCSON, Ariz. – APRIL 4, 2006 – Spring break 2006 embraced a multitude of pursuits among university students. At The University of Arizona, some students chose the beach, others the slopes, and a few spent their free time getting up early and going back to high school.
Eleven students from the Eller College of Management's Management Information Systems (MIS) Department stayed in Tucson during spring break to mentor a group of local high school seniors in a technology-based project. The students of Howenstine High School (Tucson, Ariz.) English teacher Sue Butler teamed up with Eller College to learn about the value and uses of technology during a unit focused on positive propaganda.
"The interaction with peers, with the college students, and with the technology was a winning combination," said Butler. "Because the seniors look up to the Eller College students as role models, they were especially responsive to them. It was so satisfying to watch as each group developed a plan and began to map out tasks to accomplish their vision of their project."
The Eller College students traveled to Howenstine three different times and then hosted the high school students at Eller College computer labs. The lab activity enabled Howenstine students to use film, digital photography, image manipulation, PowerPoint, and other programs to create posters, web pages, short films, and presentations.
"Howenstine was suggested to us because the principal, Mr. Hart, is extremely excited and forward thinking in the area of using technology in education. Our students will be working with Sue (Butler) and social studies teacher Todd Dollard on another film and print project in late April and May. We hope to continue this partnership as well as expand to 4 or 5 additional schools next academic year," said Andrea Winkle, the Eller College MIS outreach program coordinator.
Christopher Lodge, an Eller College junior, said he felt good about being able to bring his mentoring and design skills to the Howenstine students' project. "I worked with a total of four students. I left feeling very encouraged that there are high school students who really care about their work and put forth a large amount of effort to succeed," he commented.
One of the students that Lodge mentored was junior, Tosha Meshell. "It was an experience I won't forget," she said.
The Eller College of Management MIS outreach project was designed to increase awareness in the community about careers and opportunities in the area of information technology (IT), and also to create a pipeline of students, from primary and secondary education into higher education, who are interested in technology related careers.
The Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona is internationally recognized for pioneering research, innovative curriculum, distinguished faculty, excellence in management information systems, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. U.S. News & World Report ranks the Eller undergraduate program No. 11 among public business schools and two of its programs are among the top 20 — Entrepreneurship and MIS. U.S. News & World Report ranks the Eller MBA Full-Time program No. 48 in the U.S. In addition to a Full-Time MBA program, the Eller College offers the No. 25-ranked Evening MBA program, the Eller Executive MBA and the Online MBA. The Eller College of Management supports more than 5,800 undergraduate and 800 graduate students on the UA campus in beautiful Tucson, Arizona, and on its satellite campus in downtown Phoenix.

I need to know how to like go on sites without them being recorded into the history.Like so people don't know I go on gay-support ype websites.Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
after you leave the site, go into your webpage history (which should be an arrow next or underneath your back button). click it and select which sites you want to delete. Right-click and delete.
there may be an option to keep any websites from being recorded but this is the quickest way I know of.
Some you can turn off tracking/cache/history, some you have to clear it when you're done.
I think the easiest thing, if you and your family all use the same computer/browser, is to install Firefox or something, as a second browser. Then you have that and can keep it safe AND it's separate.
"Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there." -- Josh Billings.
Add me on MySpace!
...and I also have Firefox set not to save histories. But, especially if you want to bookmark anything, it's best if (like me) you're the only one to use that browser.
~~~ the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses ~ e e cummings ~~~
Yup, with Firefox the easiest thing to do is go to Tools->Clear Private Data->Clear Private Data Now. The End! :)
Upon surfing the internet, I found this firefox toolbar/plugin thing.
It lets you clear your data with a single button and it creates an alternate web address bar that doesn't save history and stuffs.

Post-GCSE options
English teacher Nic Worgan discusses the options for those students who have finished their GCSEs
If you collected your results yesterday, congratulations – that's your GCSEs done! What are your options from here on in? It is a good idea to have a chat with your tutor or teacher, someone other than your parents who will be able to offer you advice on your options. It is important that you are able to consider all of your options with someone who can help you.
You can also go to a careers advisor. Most schools and colleges will have these, where you can book an appointment for a chat in light of your results. If you don't want to use the ones at your school or college there are national services you can get in touch with, just do an internet search for "careers services" to find the ones in your area.
One of your options is to study in a sixth form with a view to go on to higher education (such as a degree course) or a vocational course. If your school has a sixth form that offers the subjects you want, they will probably welcome you back in September. Although you will be returning to the familiar, remember that your day is likely to be very different and you will be treated as more of an adult. If your school doesn't offer the subjects you want to take, there may be one in the surrounding area that does.
Another option is to continue study at a college. They may offer similar courses to your school, but it is likely to be a more relaxed atmosphere. Remember though, it will be up to you not to relax too much, you must have the self discipline to work hard as you will be left to work on your own to a greater extent than at school. If you can work hard independently in a college, it is great preparation for university as you will develop the necessary skills and self discipline.
The other option is the world of work. If you have had enough of school and exams and you are ready to start to earn your own money, this could be the option for you. Again, a careers advisor can provide a wealth of information for you if this is the path you decide upon.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you are aware of all of your options and don't be afraid to talk to the people who are there to help you.

Anyone else experience extremely low efficiency with grains purchased from Brewmasters? Granted their brew builder is a great tool, but I'm always well below 70% with the grains I buy from them. I also see significantly more twigs in the mash tun as well. My last batch from them was 66% the batch before that 65%. I brewed a batch in between those two with grains from my local brew store and hit 74%.
Which malt were you using from them? Any changes to the mash regime at all?
no changes at all
I can say that we have been known to have a really good crush for a long time and we have not changed a thing with the crush. If you notice a lot of intact husks from grains it is because we use a 3 roller mill that allows us to crush very finely without destroying the husk.
I actually get my best with grains from there, and I have used most the big online vendors a well as 3 or 4 other local shops.
Sometimes I buy four identical batches at once from them and my efficiencies are never exactly the same. But if I'm calculating everything correctly with my BIAB setup (I ask for finer crush) I usually get high 80's on average but it always varies. I have a little tougher time with higher gravity recipes but I'm working on that.
I always have higher efficiencies with Brewmasters crush than with grain purchased and crushed other places.
I've never gotten less than 75% with grains from them, and all but one of my AG batches have been ordered from there. They seem to get a bit backed up on shipping sometimes, but I've always received a good product from them.
BMW is the bomb. I've gotten nothing but stellar results from everything I have bought from them.

Ever since I saw:
(NSFW, unless you're familiar with AVGN.)
Part 1:
Part 2:
I've wondered what people, at least on here, think about which console is more prefferable/better, whether it's the gameplay, music, storyline, preference, or graphics.
I myself am aware about pretty much every first/second-party SNES game there is, i've played half of them and liked every one of them at the least.
With Genesis, the only games i've owned are the ones on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. But out of the ones I tried, they were also pretty good.
Also, I avoided making this a "Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis" forum, because it would just get locked and get re-directed to this forum i'm now aware of:
But besides, even if it didn't exist and asked the question above, I feel I would just get simple answers, which is why I made this a more open topic, you could even talk about the TurboGrafx-16 for the people who've experienced that, but that console isn't as widely known as the other 2 though.
What are your thoughts?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

My name is Neisha!
Facts about Neisha
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Neisha's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
Hi! My name is Neisha. I'm a 16 pound female chihuahua mix. I'm five years old and full of spunk, too!
My favorite part of the day is when my foster mom comes home. I get so excited that I just have to dance with my whole body! Outside is still a little scary, so short walks are fine with me. I like meeting all my new neighbors though, people and animals alike. I get along with everyone, but nothing beats the pleasure of hanging out at home on the couch with my favorite humans, for some cuddles and maybe a good tummy rub.
I'm also very food motivated and eager-to-please. My foster mom even calls me a canine Einstein! I'm already learning to sit and stay, so the sky's the limit when it comes to teaching me new tricks. If you've got the time for training, I've got what it takes to perform!
I can't wait to be a part of a real, forever family with a couch they'll let me call my own! If you think you would like to meet me, please contact my foster mom at email@example.com or text her 786-376-4760.
Neisha will not be available for adoption until after Easter, but inquiries are welcome.
All dogs adopted through Friends of the Animals are current on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption. For more information about FOTA or to make a donation, please visit http://www.friendsoftheanimalsbr.org/.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Neisha, a Baton Rouge Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Baton Rouge, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Baton Rouge.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Baton Rouge already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Baton Rouge breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Baton Rouge paves the way for another one to be saved.

Conference theme
Dreaming ideas into reality is the spirit of innovation. Dreams, as sources of uncommon images and ideas, contribute to developing inventions. Once inventions become socially accepted and used, they become innovation. Dreams enrich innovation with meaning and purpose.
The online registration is now closed. It is still possible to register for the Ecsite Annual Conference 2013 on site in Gothenburg. Registration desks are open 08h00-17h30 at the Conference Centre from Tuesday 4 June to Saturday 8 June. We accept payment in cash (Swedish Crowns-SEK) or by card (Maestro, Visa or Mastercard only). No cheques are accepted.
Innovation calls for thinking in flexible, integrative and multidisciplinary ways; it requires an ability to synthesize humanity's diverse cultural and economic realities to face the future in a proactive way.
Innovation was once only associated with new the development of new products and technologies. But innovation now encompasses new ways of offering services, fresh business models and management practices, as well as new processes, pricing plans and routes to market.
Once attributed to a select group of professionals — designers, engineers or scientists—innovation has now come to be viewed as the responsibility of entire organizations and sectors. The imperative is for innovation to engage people's skills and imaginations as often and in as many places as possible.
If innovation was traditionally directed by the producers, it is now increasingly led from the opposite direction with users or consumers in the innovation driver's seat. With this in mind, informal learning environments must make way for innovative methods and new technologies in order to remain vital in the 21st Century. We realize that society's participation in our various processes and offers is crucial. How can our communities initiate innovative endeavors in all aspects of our work?
Science communicators must play a double role as agents of creativity and as the interface between invention and user. Can science centres and museums afford not to be at the heart of this process? More than ever, science communication organizations are needed as leaders and dreamers of innovation amid our world's changing demographics, evolving meanings and perceptions, threatened natural world, shaken economy, imbalanced access to resources, power de localization, and blurred areas of trust.
How can science centres, museums and science communication professionals help future generations innovate for social well-being? How can we harness the confidence and insight for new approaches to problem-solving? Where can we find the motivation, inspiration and commitment to turn dreams into reality?

My great grandfather was David Crockett Taliaferro. He was born in the Brownsville area and raised his family on a small farm outside of town. One of his son's, Robert Louis Taliaferro was my grandfather. He married Louise Mary Pietsch in 1910, and had four children: Mildren, Clora, Robert and Arthur. Robert L. Taliaferro (II) was born in 1912 and grew up in Wooster, Ohio. He married in 1940 to Alice McGee Miles and had three children: Robert L. (III) -- me, Marc and Blair. Blair and my dad still live in Cleveland, as does Arthur and his three children: Arthur, Craig and Roberta. Mildred and Clora passed away. I married Amy Susan Kostant in 1988 and have two children: Michelle and Robert George (IVth Robert). We live at 283 East 5th Street, Apt. 4-D in Brooklyn, New York 11218. I would very much like to hear about your background and anything you know about Lyne's ancestors. I assume he has a Virginia connection, but I don't know what it is. The WEB has extensive information on the immigrant Robert Taliaferro and his decendants, but I have found few mentions of Taliaferro's in Tennessee. One was apparently speaker of the State assembly for a year. My daughter is constructing a family tree on our computer and it has been fun to see how fare back we can go. Anyway, hope you are well. Thanks for writing your question and I look forward to your reply. Bob
