In zone 9 Hydrangeas can do very well if planted getting morning sun. Afternoon sun is too much for them. They also need good air circulation to prevent mildew. |

I live in Western PB County and have 3 plants. They get morning sun and lots of afternoon shade. The last cold snap hurt them some, but they have lots of new growth. All you can do is try and see if it works for you. Beverly |

The 'Endless Summer' truly blooms all year. In the winter months I still have the somewhat dried up flowers and even they look good. I have them potted up and some inground. Evelyn |

WOW!! Evelyn that is beautiful. I have a little tiny shred of an overpriced Lukas Garden Center Red Hydrangea that has struggled in its spot for three years. After the original plant lost its branches the remainder just sits there. It has one branch and is under 5" (that is INCHES) tall. It is in a very shady spot - do I need to / dare to move it to a morning sun spot as per Felix's recommendation? I suppose I have little to lose! Anita |
Evelyn, what a beautiful plant you have! Olya |
I just bought 2 Nikko Blue bare root plants at Lowes, the last was half price 2.50. I do have several others that are under an oak tree and they did pretty good this past summer. I had transplanted them from a sunny side of the house the Nov. before. |
Karalynn, thank you for this information! This plant looks nice , and is going on the wish list :-) Olya |
Olyagrove, Lowes had the Oakleafs as bare root plants on sale for a couple of dollars. Worth a try. We have one that we brought back from NC a few years ago and it loves in under a big Oak tree. It is now about 8ft tall when it has its leaves and has a nice fragrance. |

Our local paper has a gardening Question-and-Answer column each week and a recent column included an inquiry about hydrangeas. Our county agent stated they couldn't be grown here in SW FL as it wasn't cool enough. My husband read the letter to me, and I trotted him outside to view my very healthy blue hydrangea! It was one of those potted plants available in the grocery stores around Easter and I planted it about four years ago. |

I do believe you all have inspired me to try growing hydrangea. I saw the bare-root ones at Lowe's, but hesitated because I always assumed they were strictly zone 8 and cooler. Hmmmm.... love_the_yard, that is what I was thinking about... north side of the house. May have to try that. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 08 at 14:58
Very important to NOT plant these in front of your home - unless you don't mind brown sticks in the winter. These plants are deciduous and lose their leaves in winter (vs. evergreen where green foliage is persistent year round). For plants in front of the house (in a shady place, similar to hydrangeas), I recommend camellias - a much better choice. No pruning, green year-round and beautiful flowers in fall/winter/early spring, depending upon variety. -Carol |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Wed, Feb 6, 08 at 16:17
Not to worry. Camellias are very slow-growing compared to almost any other shrub. You'll have years and years before camellias get too big. And when you do have to prune them, well... you'll have years and years before you have to do it again. Heck, there are some shrubs you have to trim every week! Camellias aren't bad at every five years! |
Beautiful camellia, Karalynn ! Olya |

love_the_yard ; I have those "sticks" in my front yard and dearly love them because they originated in my grandmothers yard in orlando and were brought to this N. Fla yard many yaers ago by my father. I do not know what to do with the sticks tho at this time of the year. Last years blooms were unattended and still sit atop many of the sticks. Do I need to cut the flower stems? Other stems? Down to the ground with all of them or what? I dont mind how they look, I just want to treat them right to encourage growth and blooms this year. |

OKAY...SHELLFREAK ! how do you do it ? How does it look in hot/wet August ? In the ground.... or a pot ? inquiring minds want to know ! LOL |

I am new to growing hydrangeas. My daughter is getting married next year and wants them in her bouquet. I thought it would be a fun project. After scouring the stores I actually found some today at the grocery store. They are the Venice variety. A BEAUTIFUL, spectacular shade of blue. So reading the forum, I have a nice spot on the north side of my house the will get morning sun, and is well ventilated and breezy. Anything else? Fertilizer? How much water? What type of "acid" should I use to make them blue? Thanks for your advice and help. I'll post pics of the wedding Claudia |

I have a oakleaf hydrangea in the ground about 4 years and it is only a few stems about 2 feet high. It gets a rusty look around the edge of the leaves. Right now it's not quite as bad . It's getting a little morning sun but I suspect mayby to little. Im not sure what kind of fertilizer to use. Please advise. Pat |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener (My Page) on Fri, Aug 8, 08 at 23:15
Hopeful in Brevard; I also have a 4 year old oakleaf hydrangea. I have been trimming it to shape it but it is about 6 feet tall. Mine always seems to have that rusty look to it too. If it wasn't in a woodsy setting I would have removed it because it just isn't a pretty plant because of that persistent rust. I mulch mine heavily and feed it with 8-10-10 just once a year in the spring. It gets morning sun with filtered afternoon shade. If your plant is only 2 feet high, that probably means that it isn't getting enough water and fertilizer. If you want to give the plant a boost, give it half strength Miracle grow every couple of weeks for a while in addition to some 8-10-10. Be sure to put 3-4 inches of mulch around that plant to help keep it moist. Hopes that helps. |
Try DOMBEYA X SEMINOLE, you won't be dissapointed. |

I LOVE the pics!! I can't wait until mine get big enough to bloom. I have seen some people post about buying bare root hydrangeas and cuttings from lowes for only a few dollars. Where do they put them??? I will ask a clerk next time I go. Is it a certain season? I have a french hydrangea that was started as a cutting but has some leaf spot so I have to figure out how to cure it. I also have a varigated hydrangea. I also ordered a Pee gee hydrangea and an oak leaf Hydrangea. I really want a bicolor one... I think it is called a buttons and bows or Harlequin. I also ordered a Camelia. From the looks of the pics... I need to get some more. I love them too. My back yard gets the morning sun and afternoon shade so that works perfect for me.. put the Hydrangeas in the back and Camelias in the front. The pee gee can handle sun so I Plan to put them in the front. My Varigated My sick one.. I think it is called a french hydrangea AND>>>> THIS is my dream! |
- Posted by hopeful_in_brevard z9b FL (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 08 at 21:48
Thanks Happy: It does look greener since the summer rains. I wonder what the rust is and if there is anything can be done about it? I will mulch it and try the mericle grow as you suggest. |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener 9a (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 08 at 22:55
Hi Hopeful in Brevard; Rust is a type of fungus. If you would like to spray the plants for fungus, use Immunox or Daconil. They are the best multi-purpose fungicides for non-food plants. They won't fix the leaves already damaged. It will be for the new growth. You'll need to spray at least every 2 weeks. Be sure to use a pump sprayer which will allow you to get underside the leaves. |

Hello to all you Hydrangea lovers! My mother gave me one of her Hydrangea plants a few weeks back. When she gave it to me it had one big pink bloom and about 5 budders. Just yesterday I fed it some "Miracle-Gro For Acid Loving Plants". I came to check on it the next day only to find it had wilted pretty bad. Did I over fertalize it? I used the product my mother reccomended because thats what she used to get it to start blooming. I need help, I don't know what to do. Is ruined for good? By the way how do I post pictures to show you? Thank You! |
what time of year will i have to cut it back? |

I've added a sprinkle of used coffee grounds into the soil and had beautiful multi-color (like the florida sunset)in my white mini-roses, will that also work for hydrangeas or will the acidity be to much, this florida soil is testy enough, I'ld hate to kill my plants? I know it will probably bring out warm colors, like in my roses. What about pine needles for mulch does that help or hinder the hydrangeas? Thaks from Florida. |

The day I completed my undergraduate studies was a joyous day for me.
This milestone that I'd passed has been something I have dreamed about since I was 10 years old. At that age, never did I think my gender could have prevented me from accessing this dream in the very way it does for many girls around the world today, especially in India.
A cycle persists in many parts of India where girls are subject to being married at young ages or sold into sex slavery. In order to end this tumultuous cycle, The Girl Store was created.
Not Your Typical Kiosk
It's not your typical online store; instead it is a place where you can "purchase" a young girl her life back so that she may have the opportunity to obtain an education by supporting her with the items that she needs to go to school.
Sponsored by the K.C. Mahindra Education Trust and the Naandi Foundation under the project Nanhi Kali, the purpose of the Girl Store is to increase the percentage of girls who complete Grade 10 as currently "only 3 out of 10 girls who enroll in grade one complete Grade 10."
Check out this video: Nanhi Kali
To Buy A Life
You may wonder what comes with the "purchase" of a girl child from India. The products are much the same as what you had as a child: pencils, backpack, uniform, workbooks, shoes, math tools, lunch box, and a tutor. I would further argue that with the purchase comes a lifetime worth of smiles.
When you visit the online shop you are greeted with a striking [though solemn] motion activated store with several girls who are in need of various items. The girls shown on the shop page seem to serve as models for the plethora of young ladies who have received help and are in need of assistance. Those who have been helped can be seen here and a short insight into who they are can be discovered by clicking on their pictures.
The Girl Store serves as the manifestation of the Nanhi Kali project whereby "nanhi kali" means flower bud. The Nanhi Kali wesbite shares information about the project and how you can help by sponsoring a child (which differs from the option of purchasing individual items in The Girl Store for those who wish to purchase specific items).
How to Get Involved
If you're wondering how to sponsor a young girl and receive a photo along with progress reports visit the Nanhi Kali website for detailed information in their frequently asked questions (FAQs) section.
If you are in the United States, you can visit the Girl Store's physical location launched in January 2011 in New York City near East 47th Street and Lexington Avenue.
With projects like Nanhi Kali we can look forward to seeing more communities transformed through the power of education which enables individuals to seek opportunities beyond the boundaries of their homesteads to impact out world especially for little girls whose dreams are hindered because of their family being too poor.
The Girl Store helps us achieve the goal. The goal to empower girls and make them influential members of society through the power of education.

Mutka: Hoosiers bring back Big Ten baseball memories
By John Mutka Post-Tribune senior correspondent email@example.com June 16, 2013 7:22PM
Dustin DeMuth, Scott Donley
Updated: July 18, 2013 6:41AM
Just making it to the College World Series, let alone winning it, is a major coup for teams north of the Mason-Dixon line. Warm weather teams have a nearly insurmountable advantage over the Big Ten because they operate in a more favorable climate.
So, when Indiana's Hoosiers punched their ticket to Omaha, ending a 29-year drought, it bordered on miraculous.
Crown Point DH Scott Donley, all but pinching himself, put it this way after IU beat Florida State to win the Super Regional: "It's an experience you've been dreaming about since you were a little kid."
Saturday, it became reality for the Virginia Tech transfer, who leads IU with 59 RBI in 63 games, and Dustin DeMuth, who has been named to at least three All-American teams.
Recently drafted by the Twins in the eighth round, the hard-hitting third baseman from LaPorte is batting .382 with 24 doubles, both tops for the team.
Until IU's break-through the Big Ten hadn't been represented in the CWS since Michigan back-to-backers in 1983-84.
Though the Wolverines finished no better than third those two trips are worth revisiting because coach Bud Middaugh stacked so much talent on his roster.
In those two memorable seasons Michigan feasted with future major leaguers first baseman Hal Morris, shortstop Barry Larkin and third baseman Chris Sabo. All three starred with Cincinnati, helping the Reds win the 1990 World Series.
It was the first full season for Morris, who played for Munster Hall of Famer Mike Niksic. He introduced himself with a .340 average and stroked a tie-breaking sacrifice fly to wrap up Cincinnati's four-game sweep.
Unfortunately, the lanky first baseman didn't receive enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title, which went to Willie McGee of the Cardinals (.335). A year later he finished a percentage point behind Atlanta's Terry Pendleton, who was crowned with a .319 average.
In 11 full seasons Morris hit only 76 homers, peaking with 16 and 80 RBI in 1996. A contact hitter who sprayed to all fields, he once linked a 32-game hitting streak.
Hampered by a couple of freak injuries, he managed just eight home runs in his last four years, but retired in 2000 with a career .304 average.
Larkin spent his entire career 19-year career with the Reds. The 12-time All-Star and 1995 MVP was elected to the Hall of Fame last year.
Sabo earned rookie of the year honors in 1988 with a .271 average and 46 stolen bases, seizing the opportunity when third baseman Buddy Bell started the season on the disabled list. Sabo was a three-time All-Star, but injuries shortened his career, which included a cup of coffee with the White Sox.
Footnote: The 1984 CWS field included Barry Bonds, who starred for Arizona State and was named to the all-time CWS team in 1996, years before his career was tainted by the BALCO steroid scandal.
Ohio State was the last Big Ten team to win the College World Series, beating Oklahoma State in 1966 with such headliners as Russ Nagelson, who was drafted by Cleveland and spent bits of three years in the majors; catcher Chuck Brinkman, who was a part-time catcher for the White Sox for six years, and two-sport standout Bo Rein.
Rein was one of the most storied and tragic athletes of his era. He played halfback for the legendary Woody Hayes, leading the Buckeyes in receptions twice and in rushing once.
He made the College World Series all-tournament team twice and was drafted by the Indians. Getting as far as AAA baseball before an achilles tendon injury ended his baseball dream, Rein switched to coaching.
He worked for Lou Holtz at William & Mary and North Carolina State, then coached the Wolfpack from 1976-79 when Holtz departed for the New York Jets. After going 27-18-1 with two bowl victories, Rein was named the head coach at Louisiana State.
Tragically, he was killed in a bizarre airplane accident on a recruiting trip before coaching a single game. It was supposed to be a routine flight, but a storm took the private plane dramatically off-course over the Atlantic Ocean, where it eventually crashed after running out of fuel.
Reportedly, lack of oxygen contributed to their deaths because the plane was spotted nearly 7,000 feet above the certified maximum level of 35,000 feet by a military aircraft after air traffic control lost contact. Coach Hayes delivered the eulogy.
Over the years, Ohio State and Michigan football so dominated in football that the conference was once dubbed the Big Two plus the Little Eight. But they played second-fiddle to Minnesota in the national pastime. Overcoming the sometimes frigid climate the Gophers won three NCAA titles in five appearances, but have been shut out since 1977.
Minnesota has been first or second in 20 of 27 Big Ten tournament appearances.
Calling Jack Campbell an "old-timer" doesn't seem right. He's been coaching baseball and girls basketball since dinosaurs roamed the earth, but seems ageless.
Just wanted to mention the celebrated senior citizen in this column since he did win a Big Ten batting championship in his senior season at Indiana University after graduating from East Gary Edison.
Congratulations to the Indiana Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Famer, who put an exclamation point on his induction by guiding the Trojans to their first Duneland Conference title since 1985 with a 13-1 record.

Tips for Saving Money on a Trip to Dubai
Home to some of the world's most expensive hotels, Dubai isn't exactly known as a budget-friendly destination. And if you want to experience all the over-the-top, record-breaking attractions of Dubai – the indoor ski resorts and world's tallest hotels and biggest shopping malls – you can hardly get by on a backpacker's budget. But, if culture is more important to you than commerce, you can explore Dubai on much less than you might expect. Here's how to save on every step of your trip.

Students who registered for Messina or Loyola by the priority deadline, June 2, 2014, received their first choice of programs. Based on demand, Messina is now operating of a wait list and spots will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis for all people who registered after June 2nd. Seats in Loyola 101 remain open.
Messina is a full-year program in which students take one Messina course in the fall and one Messina course in the spring. You will typically take four, non-Messina courses each semester. In addition, Messina students will participate in a 1-hour "Enrichment Session" with the Messina course faculty member, a Messina Mentor (a campus administrator) and your Evergreen (student orientation leader). Though this is extra time spent in class, the time will sometimes be devoted to off-campus class trips, discussions about first-year transition issues and other topics as they surface. Topics discussed in the enrichment sessions will be referenced throughout the course, and therefore, participation is required.
Loyola 101 is a one-credit course that students take during the fall semester in addition to your typical five-course load (and any associated labs). The course grade does not factor into your overall GPA, but your satisfactory (or unsatisfactory) completion of the course will be noted on your grade report. The class meets 75 minutes each week during the fall semester and occasionally, trips or dinners will be planned for nights and weekends.
No. Students will travel together as a class only to Messina seminar courses and Enrichment Hours (1 course during fall semester and 1 course during spring semester).
Students will be notified regarding First-Year Program changes via their Loyola email account. Students will move off of the Messina wait list based on course availability. The Messina office will work to process most Messina wait list requests after AP scores are reported to the University towards the end of July. For updates on their wait list status, students should check their Loyola email account regularly throughout the month of August.
Any changes to course placements will not alter housing assignments (which will be sent to student's e-mail accounts in early August).
Students receive an email from Loyola's Office of Technology Services after submitting an enrollment deposit. The email, which contains login information to access the InsideLoyola site and First-Year Program registration, will be sent to the email address Loyola has on file. However, it is possible that the email slipped into a spam folder, so it's best to check multiple email folders when searching the the message. If you are still unable to find the email or access the account, please contact the Student Technology Center Help Desk. You may reach the Help Desk by calling 410-617-5555, Monday-Friday between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Mention that you are an incoming first-year student and that you are trying to log in to InsideLoyola to register for Messina/Loyola 101 but do not have the username/password information to do so.
When your username/password is confirmed, please visit the First-Year Programs website: http://www.loyola.edu/fyp and select the "Register" tab in order to continue into the InsideLoyola registration site. Contact the Messina Office at 410-617-2669 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Most Messina courses fulfill Core requirements, so choose classes that interest you! You are welcome to preference a course based on your intended major, core requirements (find out more about Core Curriculum Requirements) or an interest in a particular topic. Either way, Messina courses will help towards fulfilling graduation requirements. Next to the course title, look for the "C" for Core or "D" for Diversity indicating the requirement the course fulfills.
Incoming first-year students will register for non-Messina courses when they meet with an Advisor at an assigned time during Summer Orientation.
If you are already enrolled in the Loyola Honors Program, you do not need to register separately for Messina. Messina offers course pairings designed by Honors faculty members to fulfill the first-year Honors Human Drama sequence requirements. You will automatically be enrolled in one of these Messina/Honors course sections.
Please call the first-year programs office at 410-617-2669 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to change your first-year program preference or talk to us during summer orientation.
Loyola will contact you once the official Advanced Placement scores have been reported to switch your Messina course pairing if you have received credit for one or both classes in the pairing you are registered to take. We will do our best to provide an option for one of other course pairing preferences. Students who received credit for scores on the Advanced Placement Literature test are eligible to enroll in the Political Science/English course pairing since the English counts for the second English core requirement.
Students enrolled in Messina will live in traditional-style buildings (Flannery O'Connor, Hammerman, Butler and Hopkins Court) and students enrolled in Loyola 101 will mostly live in Campion Tower and Lange Court. Students do not select the actual building they live in. For more information about housing options, visit the office of student life web page.
Typically, no. Students who identify a roommate before registering for a first-year program should preference the same program. Furthermore, students should preference Messina course pairings taught within the same Messina theme. We will take mutual roommate requests into account when assigning Messina course pairings. Students will be asked one final time during summer orientation to confirm that their roommate request is mutual.
Yes, Honors students should email firstname.lastname@example.com and provide the name of their intended roommate. Your intended roommate should preference Messina and list that they want to live with you when they submit their first-year program preferences.

He said he is not sure if I should work out right after. The tattoo is going to be on the front side of my shoulder. I figured if I covered it real good, it would be fine! What do you guys think?

I first used this with an Aussie mousse (I always use a mousse/gel combo.). I wasn't happy, but I think the mousse is the problem. I've paired it with other gels, and never had good results. It has bad reviews so it must be bad news. My hair ended up stringy and wouldn't hold a curl. It has oils in it or something weird that weighs down my hair. My hair is naturally wavy and can go curly or straight depending on the weather and what I want to do.
I paired the Got 2 Be with my standby mousse: Loreal Springing Curls, and got great results! I'm not used to spray gels, but thought I'd get this b/c I had a coupon. It doesn't take a lot to get hold and the crunch factor that I want. The smell is a little strange, but fades quickly. It smells super fruity like mangoes. Of course, weather plays a big role if you're like me and have wavy hair. But, usually in the summer, I can get it to curl regardless of what products I use. This gave me the curls and then some w/o weighing it down. I have a fine/medium hair type. I'd definitely buy this again - it has turned me into a spray gel girl!

Curling Spray Gel, how did I pass by you for years??? Shame on me. I have long 3a/3b curls. I generously spray from bottom to top and work in...then randomly place clips and air dry or diffuse. Once dry, I remove the clips and gently toss. Many hours of bouncy soft curls!

I bought this product despite seeing all the bad reviews on here, and I'm glad I did! It was buy 2 for 6$ so I got this and powderful. I have fine 3a hair, but lots of it, I use this after a curl cream like garniers and can see my curls start to form after the first spray. Sure it dries out your hair a little, but it's a gel, I use a little coconut oil after this and that seems to help a lot. It gives me beautifully formed ringlets after my hair is done air drying and the hold isn't all gross and crunchy, I will buy this again.

This stuff is terrible. First of all I used it after I got out of the shower on damp hair my hair instantly frizzed up when I used this. it weighed down my hair and barely made it wavy or scrunched . Oh and the best part is it ruined my tote bag by leaking all over this product sucks and I wouldn't use it ever again if it were the last hair product on this earth!

I am agreeing with the way this product seems to dry out my hair and not really enhance the natural curl much either. I like Garnier Fructis Spray Gel much better for curl definition. Unfortunately I bought 2 of these at Walgreens on a buy one get one 1/2 off deal. Waste of money.

I picked this up on a whim, I was looking for HE spray gel but CVS was out. It DOES enhance curl, and have good hold. However, it uses magnesium sulfate to do this, which is drying. I find I have to leave conditioner on my ends especially or use this over a styling cream to avoid having my ends looking crispy and dry after several hours. Other than that...I do like this product when I want a spray gel and curl enhancement.

This is one of the worst gels I have ever used. I have fine, naturally wavy hair. This gel actually made my hair less wavy than normal. I also found it to be very sticky. I used it twice and threw it away. Please save your money! My hair literally had more wave and body when no styling products were used in it as compared to the results after using this spray.

I have soft wavy/curly hair, not a lot of it. I've been flatironing it for the past 8 years, occasionally trying products that would keep it curly and put together but with no luck - they all made my hair heavy, greasy or completely gelled up and therefore untouchable. I came across this one while hoping to try one of those new 'beach hair' products - they all run over $20, so with my previous experiences, I was hesitant to blow 20 bucks only to throw the product away later. I saw this at a Ride Aid and thought 'what the hell, it's only $4'. I tried it the next morning and absolutely loved what it did to my hair! Nice soft curls, I love the smell, too. I was even able to refresh my curls the morning after and the morning after that! Unbelievable, my hair wasn't all nasty and dirty with the product. Good job!

I'm always on the loolout for something to help tame my hair. It's midback, thick, color-treated, 2a curly with a huge tendency to frizz. I spritzed this all over damp hair and combed through, then scrunched my hair. By the end of the day half my hair was a frizzed, knotted mess and the other half was separated into snaky looking crunchy strands. I loved the JF Beach Blonde spray from years ago, and can handle a certain amount of dry, crunchy feeling; but this was awful! Guess I'll keep looking:) Getting ready to try Spray-it Curly and Sally Hershberger Glam Waves but if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it!

Nostalgic references now qualify as comedy, apparently. Score one for Jimmy Fallon.
Let's take a point away from Mark Paul though, for reminding everyone why no one's really ever taken him seriously.
Weird Al makes me wish I didn't have ears. Or that maybe that I was functionally retarded, so that maybe I could enjoy his music on the level it was intended.
I realize that hyperbolic negativity is a lot more fun to write, but don't you think you're being a little harsh? TRUE BLOOD is far from perfect, but once you get past Alan Ball's soap boxing (a skill picked up from years of watching SIX FEET UNDER), it's a pretty fun camp-horror show. It lacks the depth of other HBO greats, but that's hardly a reason to discount the show. And calling it one of the worst shows on television, well that suggests that you either don't watch enough television, or that you're just a geek who doesn't want something with all that kissin' to be so popular.
In all serious, genre fans should take the success of TRUE BLOOD to be a fucking great thing. Execs at HBO will be far more willing to greenlight genre television now. Imagine a show with the artistic value of LOST or BATTLESTAR produced with the creative freedom HBO offers their show-runners. It'll be a good time to be alive, kids.

We would like to keep you informed about the LMA by email in the future, but we need your permission to do this. Your feedback is really valuable so please tell us how you'd like to hear from us.
Leicester boss Micky Adams has revealed that he is resigned to the fact that the club will lose the services of Muzzy Izzet this summer.
He glumly admitted: "We can't afford to keep him."
Izzet has been part of the Foxes' furniture for nearly nine years, after joining the club from Chelsea back in the day when Martin O'Neill was manager.
The Turkey star will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Adams says the club will not have enough financial clout to hang on to the midfielder.
The player nearly quit the club when they were relegated from the Barclaycard Premiership two years ago, but decided to stay and help the club fight for promotion, opting out of a £6million move to Middlesbrough.
Adams added: "Muzzy is going to go - but we are not sure where he is going to go. There are a number of interested Premiership clubs.
"I would like to keep Muzzy but we can't afford to keep him and he goes with our best wishes.
"No-one can question the commitment he has shown to the club. He has done well out of the club and also done well for the club."

Second Defendant in D.C. Property Tax Refund Fraud Scheme Pleads Guilty
Greenbelt, Maryland - Marilyn Yoon, age 40, of Derwood, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to possession of property obtained by fraud in connection with a property tax refund scheme in which millions of dollars were stolen from the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeffrey A. Taylor.
According to the plea agreement, Yoon first met a co-conspirator in 2000 while working as a sales consultant at a high end leather goods store and then at a luxury department store in Tysons Corner, Virginia where the co-conspirator shopped. As their friendship continued, the co-conspirator provided monetary gifts to Yoon totaling approximately $251,130 between June 2005 and May 2006.
In February 2007, the co-conspirator gave Yoon a fraudulent District of Columbia check for $483,940 and instructed Yoon to deposit the check into Yoon's bank account. When Yoon attempted to do so, the bank did not accept the deposit because the names of the owner of the account and the payee did not match. In May of 2007, the co-conspirator gave Yoon a second fraudulent District of Columbia check, made payable to a business owned by Yoon's husband in the amount of $275,000. Yoon successfully deposited the check into the bank account of her husband's business.
In June 2007, the co-conspirator directed Yoon to use the funds from the $275,000 check to send a $125,000 cashier's check payable to a plumbing business owned by the co-conspirator's brother. Although Yoon believed that the $275,000 check was the proceeds of fraud, Yoon nevertheless issued the cashier's check and used the remaining $150,000 to make a personal loan to a family member and remodel her home.
Yoon faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. has scheduled sentencing for September 12, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.
Ricardo R. Walters, age 33, of Ft. Washington, Maryland, pleaded guilty on May 2, 2008 in connection with the property tax refund scheme and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for receipt of stolen property and 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering. Judge Williams scheduled his sentencing for July 23, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.
United States Attorneys Rod J. Rosenstein and Jeffrey A. Taylor thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation; the Inspector General's Office for the District of Columbia; the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue, Criminal Investigation Division; the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration; and the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of Integrity and Oversight for their investigative work. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan Su and Deborah Johnston from the District of Maryland and Assistant United States Attorneys Timothy Lynch and David Johnson from the District of Columbia, who are prosecuting the case.

Gold is Power for the Lions of the Rock
An A Game of Thrones: The Card Game preview by guest writer Joe Becker |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 06 December 2011 |
He wiped the blood off his lips with the back of his hand, grinned, and said, "That was a stiff one, Mord." The gaoler squinted at him, trying to decide if he was being mocked. "I could make good use of a strong man like you." The strap flew at him, but this time Tyrion was able to cringe away from it. He took a glancing blow to the shoulder, nothing more. "Gold," he repeated, scrambling backward like a crab, "more gold than you'll see here in a lifetime. Enough to buy land, women, horses… you could be a lord. Lord Mord." Tyrion hawked up a glob of blood and phlegm and spat it out into the sky.
"Is no gold," Mord said.
He's listening! Tyrion thought.
–George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
With the upcoming release of Lions of the Rock, the Lannisters become the last of the six great houses to get their own deluxe expansion. This set introduces many major unique characters, new versions of the Lannisters' iconic players, and some great reprints.
All the gold in Casterly Rock
Each deluxe expansion presents a close examination of the featured house and enhances it through a number of main themes and subthemes. One of the most predominant themes Lions of the Rock showcases is the strength of gold for House Lannister. In the books, there is no question that the Lannisters are the wealthiest of all the great houses. "All the Gold in Casterly Rock" is a common saying. The crown borrows heavily from the Lannisters, and Cersei toys with the idea of creating the Golden Bank of Lannisport to back the kingdom–and derive profit from its needs. The Lannisters have money, and with their money comes power. In A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, House Lannister has always had ways to increase their gold pool, with cards like Lannisport Steward (Core Set, 52), Lannisport Weaponsmith (Core Set, 53), and Lannisport Councilor (Return of the Others, 103). The Lannisters have also long had a number of cards that let you spend your extra gold for key effects, but with Lions of the Rock, their wealth plays a larger role in the game.
We've already seen the new Tywin Lannister (Lions of the Rock, 9) and the revised Coin Mint (Lions of the Rock, 27), and how they form a combo unto themselves, but to stop there would be to ignore all the other ways that Lannister benefits from retaining more gold in their pool than their opponents. Among them is the new character Ser Addam Marbrand (Lions of the Rock, 14). Normally you would only pay three gold for a character like Ser Addam, with two icons, three Strength, and zero renown, but his ability is easily worth paying the one extra gold to bring him into play. While Ser Addam Marbrand is in play and you have the largest gold pool in the game, your in-house armies no longer need to kneel to attack or defend. Combine him with The Burned Men (Mountains of the Moon, 44) and you have a Deadly Army that can attack twice, raise your claim, and still defend. Furthermore, this set gives the Lannisters several new Army characters to help take advantage of Ser Addam's ability.
Sound investments
Still, the Lannisters know better than anyone that while the potential of coin is powerful, gold wants to be spent. Gold that sits idly in your pool earns no interest, so Lions of the Rock introduces new events that let the Lannisters spend their gold to trigger timely effects. Take The Lion's Cunning (Lions of the Rock, 32), one of the more powerful surprises this set allows you to spring on your opponents. The Lion's Cunning permits you to spend any amount of gold to choose that many Lannister characters participating in a challenge to give them each Strength boosts equal to the gold spent. Even a pool of three gold could net you an extra nine Strength in the challenge, increasing your odds of winning a challenge and being able to play cards such as Make an Example (Princes of the Sun, 42) and Superior Claim (Kings of the Storm, 47) for extra power.
House Lannister has gained power from their wealth as long as anyone can remember. With Lions of the Rock, they now find new ways to use that wealth to their advantage in A Game of Thrones: The Card Game. Gold is power.
Head to your local retailer to pre-order Lions of the Rock today!

After a brief soft launch* in the Great White North, the classic Worms 2: Armageddon has expanded its Play Store presence to most countries (so far as we can tell, at least). It's $5 to get your turn-based explosion fix on, and early reviews of the game on the Play Store look promising. 30 single player missions are included, and there's even online multiplayer (as well as local hot seat mode).
The original Worms landed on the Play Store way back in early 2011 (when it was still the Android Market), but the launch was far from perfect. Device compatibility was lacking, and force closes all too common. A while back, the game was actually removed from the Play Store.
In fact, it was the Worms franchise's new owner that requested it be taken down. According to Team 17 Digital, EA was "not supporting OS updates," and the company asked for the game to be removed because it "didn't want to damage the brand." Yikes.

Very pretty, those boxes are obviously telephone booths so you can probably just remove the words and resubmit this. Maybe make some artsy squiggles or symbol or something in it's place.

Mission Statement
The Okaloosa Law Enforcement Benevolent Association is a non-profit organization established to benefit the families of Law Enforcement Officers seriously injured in the line of duty through support and financial assistance.
Association Goal
Established in 2008, the Okaloosa Law Enforcement Benevolent Association endeavors to strengthen the relationship between the region's Law Enforcement community, business and community leaders and its citizenry through demonstrated support and respect for the officers and families that have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The families of these brave Officers are supported by the Departments and other organizations, but as one might imagine, the cost in terms of financial, emotional, and psychological support is overwhelming. Other, perhaps less known, risks associated with being a Police Officer are the stresses of the job.
Through your generous contributions, the Association is able to help the officers and families alleviate many of these mounting hardships. By supporting these initiatives, our public-private partnership provides the Okaloosa Law Enforcement Benevolent Association with the means to achieve our goals. It is a sign to all the citizens of our region, as well as our nation, that Okaloosa's corporate family and business leaders care about its Law Enforcement Officers and their families. Your support is a reminder that when troubled times arise, we come together, as families do, and provide comfort, support, and protection for one another.

We are having issues with the final coat of polyurethane. We are not applying it ourselves - we hired a flooring guy to do the work.
Shortened version - first floor guy sanded entire main floor (oak) then laid unstained oak in the kitchen addition and re-stained the entire main floor so all the floors match. He did an ok job with the stain but was terrible with attention to detail so the baseboards are badly stained with both stain and polyurethane, the new floor had to be ripped up because he did not check the moisture content in the thinset in the addition before he laid the new floor. It cupped pretty badly - so we had to tear it all up. There was too much crud (for a lack of better word) sealed into the floors near the baseboards as he did not clean and tack the floors well enough, plus small white paint flecks from our peeling outside porch steps. He did not remove his outer footwear when applying the sealer. He put satin sealer in the kitchen (what I wanted) but the very next week put semigloss on the remainder of the main floor! He did replace the wood for the addition but we decided not to have him continue as our flooring installer/finisher. Enter second flooring guy - did a good job with the addition and staining, re-buffed the semigloss area and applied a satin finish...except he did not use the product we told him was used (Duraseal) so the new satin was still quite shiny. Too shiny for me. So we had him re-do it with the satin Duraseal which was used in the kitchen area. Except - it looks horrible - all streaky with dull hazy areas! He redid it the following day but diluted it 10% - same result! Uggg. Found out today the original flooring guy used a discontinued Duraseal satin that is more user friendly and yields better results. He has the remaining supply of this product in the province. He would come back and redo the final top coat but then when I go to redo the floors upstairs (prob in a few years) there is a good chance this finish will not be available. So now I am stuck with what to do. Go back to the product the second flooring fellow uses and likes (but I would like a less shiny finish) or try to find another product that has the ease of use and sheen I want? I think the product used by this guy was Bono or Bonoline or something similar and I don't know if they make a matte finish..although I would like some form of sheen to the finish. This has been an ongoing flooring headache - almost 4 months worth of issues and we are so close.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
OMG....don't take this the wrong way.....but you need to be finding a QUALIFIED Sand & Finish company and let THEM deal with this. If you continue the way your headed your only spending MORE money on a "MAYBE THIS WILL WORK" SCENARIO. |
Professional grade urethanes aren't limited to Duraseal and Bona. You might also try to find someone who can provide you PoloPlaz (they have both satin and satin matte I think) or Lenmar (theirs is called dull-rubbed). Both easy to work with and both provide a rich look. |
we had a white line problem and then we found glitsa and it looks great. |

The new low, EPA forced, VOC finishes can be nearly impossible to use over large areas so perhaps that is not the finishers fault. Inspector gives sound advise as to good finishes to use. Nice picture of hickory floors! |

If you happen to be a music enthusiast and like to listen to new music, then you must have a music player tucked away in your pocket. Almost 60 percent chances are that it's going to be an Apple music player, if not, it could be a Sony, Philips, Cowon or some other. There's a very small chance that's it going be one of Microsoft's Zune player. And, for the same reason, Microsoft has finally given official word that all Zune products are henceforth discontinued.
Oh, and guess what? The Apple iPhone event is just about to begin. A coincidence that Microsoft all of a sudden decided to kill Zune products? I mean, it was reported earlier that Microsoft will be going to halt production, but there was not much information on when or why. Here's the official statement on Microsoft's Zune page;
We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy, and that we will no longer be producing Zune players. So what does this mean for our current Zune users? Absolutely nothing. Your device will continue to work with Zune services just as it does today. And we will continue to honor the warranties of all devices for both current owners and those who buy our very last devices. Customer service has been, and will remain a top priority for us.
As the statement says, users who already have bought or have ordered new Zune HD players, will be eligible for warranty and repair, but only till stocks last. The Zune software is not going to be affected for any user and more importance will be given to the budding operating system, Windows Phone 7.
Are you Zune HD owner? What are your thoughts on this move by Microsoft? That too on the day Apple is releasing a new iPhone.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, December 17, 2012
Secretary of State Husted Convenes 53rd Meeting of Ohio's Electoral College
Pictured above is the official certificate of votes signed by Ohio's 18 Electors.
Columbus – Ohio's 53rd Electoral College met today at noon in the Senate Chamber of the Ohio Statehouse. Ohio's 18 members of the Electoral College cast their ballots for president and vice president.
According to the U.S. Constitution, each state is allotted a number of presidential electors equal to the number of U.S. senators plus the number of U.S. House representatives, so Ohio has 18 electors. In most states, including Ohio, the presidential ticket that receives the popular vote in that state garners all of the electors. Two states, Maine and Nebraska, have a proportional system for choosing electors based on the percentage of votes received by the presidential candidate.
Electors casting votes today were:
District 1 Daniel Traicoff, Cincinnati District 2 Constance Lighthall, New Richmond District 3 Tracy Heard, Columbus District 4 William Young, Green Springs District 5 Michael Friedman, Toledo District 6 Ann Block, Woodsfield District 7 William J. Healy, II, Canton District 8 Cathina Hourani, Liberty Township District 9 Wade Kapszukiewicz, Toledo District 10 Mark Owens, Dayton District 11 Pernel Jones, Jr., Cleveland District 12 Grace Anne Cherrington, Pataskala District 13 Sarah Brown-Clark, Youngstown District 14 Kevin Malecek, Willoughby Hills District 15 Jeremy Van Meter, Sugar Grove District 16 Ryan Kolegar, Brunswick District 17 Ted Strickland, Columbus District 18 Chris Redfern, Catawba Island
Electoral votes from each state are sent to the President of the Senate, who on January 6th, unseals and reads them before both houses of Congress. The candidates with the most electoral votes are declared president and vice president. At noon on January 20th, following the Electoral College, the duly-elected president and vice president are sworn into office.
If you would like to watch the event, the video can be found here .
Additional information on Ohio's Electoral College is available online here .

Gear sets gallery
From Diablo Wiki
Note: Tier Zero is in reference to the initial "cloth" set of items. It isn't a full set, as it is lacking a helm and a shoulder slot, hence it is "Tier Zero". Naked refers to the character when they are not wearing any armor items at all, or their default state when they are created.

Ghanaian Women's Social Leadership Program
The Ghanaian Women's Social Leadership Program aims to provide a committed group of Ghanaian women in mid-level positions within civil society organizations with the skills and support needed to lead transformational change in their communities and society at large.
Across Ghana's strong and vibrant civil society, women are making invaluable contributing to their country's social, economic, and political growth. However, women's contributions are often underrepresented, and many lack access to positions of higher authority. The Ghanaian Women's Social Leadership Program offers an opportunity for mid-career women to grow as leaders , prepare themselves to take on new leadership roles and tackle pressing issues in their communities.
The program is part of Ghana Wins!, a partnership-driven program delivered by New York University, with support from Fundación Mujeres Por África, and Banco Santander, and the University of Ghana. Ghana Wins! aims to strengthen the capacity of Ghanaian women as leaders in the key sectors of healthcare, education and civil society.
The application process is currently open. The deadline for the 2014-2015 program has been extended to 11:59 EST on Sunday August 31st, 2014.
About the Program
Developed by RCLA and Fundación Mujeres por África, the Ghanaian Women's Social Leadership Program offers a one-year, cohort-based leadership development program that provides, rich leadership development opportunities, individualized coaching and a network of like-minded women leaders to women in mid-level positions in Ghanaian civil society organizations.
The program begins with an intensive weeklong Leadership Institute in Ghana, focused on leadership development and strengthening core management competencies. As a central focus of the institute, participants identify a pressing organizational or community need and design an action-learning project to address it. Over the course of the year, participants work in small groups to apply what they are learning through the program and their projects.
Participants are invited to attend a Leadership Institute in New York City midway through the program as an opportunity to continue building robust knowledge and skills for advancing community change.
The program culminates in a closing summit that brings together the various elements of the yearlong experience and offers an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments gain during the year.
The program covers in full all participant expenses including training costs, travel and lodging.
