Granby Court Care HomeHarrogate, North Yorkshire
Granby Court provides private residential care for the elderly. The home has dedicated team leaders and care assistants who provide an excellent standard of care.
Granby Court is situated in the historic spa town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. The main building was built around 1960 and was used as a hotel until 1994. It was mostly used by gentry and wealthy visitors to Harrogate who wanted to take advantage of the benefits of the sulphur waters. Granby Care purchased the hotel in 1994 and renovated it into a care facility.
All of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities, telephone, Sky and freeview televisions and tea and coffee making facilities. We also have the added benefits of a residents bar, library, hairdressing salon, ballroom and cinema. There are beautiful landscaped gardens and ample car parking facilities for residents and guests.
Lifestyle and Activities
We have two dedicated personal activities leaders who provide a varied activities programme to meet the needs of the residents. We provide both individual and group activities, which include various outings to local attractions and places of interest. In-house activities include amongst others, quizzes, crosswords and flower arranging.
Information on Fees and Funding
Moving into care can be daunting, no more so than trying to understand the complex process of paying for it. Because of this, we have provided some information that should help you in accessing funding you may be entitled to. Please see our Guide to Getting Funding for more information. In addition to this, there are a number of other organisations who can help you. Please see our list of Helpful Organisations.

Bowl then Ballroom then Bowl again.
October 17th, 2011"Didn't you guys used to be the UARK Ballroom?" We get that a lot, and sure, it can be a bit confusing since we are technically a "ballroom."
Have you read our history page yet? If you do, all the pieces come together and suddenly make sense, like watching a Tarantino flick.
Our building has gone through a lot of different names and uses, but originally there was a bowling alley on the bottom floor and a ballroom on the top floor. We were THE hip-happenin' place on Dickson, and we want to keep that memory alive. We're still keeping the good times rolling! Have you not seen our upcoming events? It speaks for itself.
We may not be a bowling alley anymore, but technically you're "bowled" over with laughter when you see Phunbags and the Comedians of NWA. And with all the dancing from our wedding receptions, private parties, and concerts from Fayetteville Jazz Collective and Calle Soul, the spirit of the "good ol days" lives on.

Advanced Placement United States History at BHS is a chronological and thematic survey course in United States History covering the time period from Colonial America (1492) to contemporary America (2000s). "The AP program in United States History is designed to provide students with the analytical skills and enduring understandings necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in United States history.
The program prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses. Students should learn to assess historical materials―their relevance to a given interpretive problem, their reliability, and their importance―and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. An AP United States History course should thus develop the skills necessary to arrive at conclusions on the basis of an informed judgment and to present reasons and evidence clearly and persuasively in an essay format (Collegeboard.com)." That said, the overriding theme throughout the year involves American diversity and changing political and social reactions to that diversity.
The course will emphasize key themes in United States history including: American diversity, identity and culture, demographic change, economic transformations, the environment, globalization politics, reform, religion, slavery and its legacies in North America and war and diplomacy.
Modern World History at Besant Hill School is an upper division semester long elective course that introduces students to significant issues and events in our society and their historical roots. The primary purpose of this course is to give students the skills and knowledge to accurately evaluate and analyze the complex world around them so that they may ultimately affect change. Combining a unit based curriculum and a weekly media based activity, students will evaluate the present world from a political, economic, socio-cultural, and historical perspective.
The interdisciplinary nature of this course will require students to draw from their knowledge of English, math, history, science, and the arts. And with an understanding of the complex challenges we face, students will be asked to defend their beliefs and to create solutions that will one day change this world for the better.

System of crop cultivation that uses biological methods of fertilization and pest control as substitutes for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which are regarded by supporters of organic methods as harmful to health and the environment and unnecessary for successful cultivation. It was initiated as a conscious rejection of modern agri-chemical techniques in the 1930s by the British agronomist Sir Albert Howard. Miscellaneous organic materials, including animal manure, compost, grass turf, straw, and other crop residues, are applied to fields to improve both soil structure and moisture-holding capacity and to nourish soil life, which in turn nourishes plants. (Chemical fertilizers, by contrast, feed plants directly.) Biological pest control is achieved through preventive methods, including diversified farming, crop rotation, the planting of pest-deterrent species, and the use of integrated pest management techniques. Bioengineered strains are avoided. Since organic farming is time-consuming, organically grown produce tends to be expensive. Organic produce formerly accounted for a minuscule portion of total American farm output, but it has seen a huge proportional increase in sales in recent years.

text: The Platte River Fitness Series (PRFS) is a unique model for community wellness. It is a fitness initiative representing a partnership between the North Platte Recreation Department and Great Plains Health with the support of a variety of local businesses, civic organizations and communities. The PRFS is designed to support, inspire, motivate and educate citizens about the personal and community benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle by providing them with tangible, plentiful opportunities to make behavior changes last a lifetime. We embrace the model that in order to invite positive behavior change and healthier living, we must foster a community of people on the same quest to live their health and life to the fullest, create events that are open and inclusive where every ability level has a place at the start and finish lines, and where individuals feel cared for and that their health and happiness are important to the entire community. The PRFS is a socially responsible initiative that encourages local participation, local sponsorship, use of local businesses, and produces proceeds that benefit local charities and organizations. Because we believe that children cannot learn what we do not teach, the PRFS includes a fitness initiative specifically for children called "Platte River FitKids Series," that is designed with the same mission as the adult version but with an emphasis on teaching children under 14 that exercise is something that we do for life.

He ended with an Irish prayer in Gaelic in honor of Egan's ancestors.

After the Feast
A spotlight of games perfect for your family gathering |
News | Published 16 November 2009 |
The holidays are fast approaching, and if you plan on spending them with your extended family, board and card games can be a great way to pass the time. Sure, after you've helped clear the dishes away, you could just pass out on the sofa... or you could escape a dragon's perilous dungeon, save a gnomish submarine from certain destruction, or dodge the wrath of an angry sorcerer!
Most serious hobby gamers know the pitfalls of trying to introduce too much complexity to the non-gamer crowd too soon. Can you imagine teaching Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition to Grandma? But where to start? Which games are best suited, based on complexity and number of players, to holiday gaming with the family? We've put together a few ideas...
In Drakon, up to six players race to be the first to collect 10 gold coins, all while avoiding a powerful dragon. The rules take less than a minute to explain; on each turn, you either put down a tile (expanding the dungeon), or you move your character miniature one space. Each tile you land on does something a little different, such as let you claim one gold token or steal one from the player to your left... and one tile lets you move the dragon herself, using her to hunt down your opponents! From this basic premise springs a surprisingly strategic board game with a satisfying "gotcha!" element.
For the more dramatic and outgoing crowd, Aye, Dark Overlord! actually presents light roleplaying elements, and can quickly become a terrific storytelling experience. The Overlord's evil plot has failed (as it usually does), and he's looking to blame an underling. Aye, Dark Overlord! is a fast-paced game of blame, lies, and pitting player against player in an attempt to avoid the Overlord's wrath. Each turn, players will be called upon to make up excuses, using one of the three hint cards they have in their hand. When the excuses start flying, hilarity will follow!
Red November, a nail-biting board game in which players struggle desperately to keep their submarine from sinking, has three things going for it to make it ideal for your holiday get-together. First, it accommodates a whopping eight players, meaning even big families can share in the action. Second, it's fully cooperative. Many new players are put off by competition, but a cooperative game like Red November keeps the expectations nice and light, since everyone can strategize together. Third, it's amazing fun! Red November puts players in the roles of gnomes on a sinking submarine. They must put out fires, pump leaking water, and even fight off an attacking kraken, all while waiting for help to arrive. If you're planning on playing with children, just be aware that these endangered gnomes like to the take the edge off with a bit of grog (an in-game item that bolsters their bravery). But let's be honest... wouldn't you?
Any one of these games would be great for your holiday gathering, but keep watching our site! Letter of Marque, a simple bluffing game for 3-6 pirates, will be hitting retailers soon. Check out our detailed preview, then pick it up just in time for Thanksgiving!
@ khatre
Arkham Horror is a good co-op game, but it's too complicated to be a family game. Also, children don't like playing with scary monsters.
I'd add Mag Blast to this list and Tribune?
FFG already tried to venture into videogame adaptations of their titles with Descent and Battlepawn. It didn't end too well iirc.
Will FFG ever offer A Game of Thrones or Call of Cthulhu for xbox the way Magic has done for Xbox? It would probably cost a pretty penny but i would play the heck out of it. ESPECIALLY if i can get a few competitive on line games in. :D
I want to echo what paradiddlebob said: FFG needs to start a line of computer games.
My family's been playing Ticket To Ride, Settlers of Catan, and Carcasonne on the Xbox and we're having a blast! Waaaaaay cheaper than buying the board and we get in far more games due to the ease of starting, Also, the graphics, automatic scoring, and excellent sound effects make it a very enjoyable family experience. FFG should get some of thier games on Xbox 360; we'd be all over that!
hmmmmm ....
no love for Arkham Horror?
leaving him out makes chibi-thullu cry ;(
Except lets face facts... many people would be tempted to just let the gnomes drown....... :-D
Yep, they all look like great games to play with the family. Red November is definitely on my Christmas list. I would have also said citadels as well, as my family has greatly enjoyed that game!
Agreed with Drakon : it's cool ! (especially for Grandmas)

Hi Folks,
You can find out a lot about me at my website:
I haven't been composing much, because I have been VERY busy doing voice-over for my many clients – around the world; especially in the area of audiobooks.
You can already see several titles I have narrated at Audible.com.
Currently I am working on a thriller which will come out in June of 2014. The first of two with the same main character! A CIA operative. And I just picked up a 6 book series for another thriller by a German writer – translated into English. Very mysterious, dark, and exciting!
But I haven't quit COMPOSING!
I'll be relocating soon. More on that coming up. But it means I will revamp my studio and COMPOSE again!
Anyway, you might need some voiceover work done on your project.
Contact me if that might be the case, and perhaps I can accommodate you.
"Now, back to our regular programming…."
Music and sound are as much a character in storytelling these days as graphics, whether motion or stationary. It is no longer enough to be able to just compose music, or design sound, engineer, and mix.
It's a mystical calculus: graphics + sound (music and/or Sfx) + art = end product (outcome).
You might say it's – "mashed potatoes" – properly done.
In that regard, each of us brings something special to the table based on actual experience.
Here's what I bring:
Numerous years of experience in all facets of production in the entertainment business, including a successful acting career in film and television, and countless commercials both on and off-camera (voice-over). I have also been a session player (trombone and bass trombone); session singer, songwriter, jingle writer, music director, producer and arranger, both in Nashville and Los Angeles. I've done live stints in several jazz and orchestral venues throughout the country, including singing on "The Grand 'Ol Opry" and several seasons as lead trombone for The Ringling Brothers Circus.
These episodes in my life have given me a unique perspective on the requirements of source music in relation to the visual arts – i.e. the art of "story + music."
I produce custom music tracks, as well as those you will find in Audiojungle. And I continue to provide voiceover services.
You may contact me for details on any of the above, via my listed e-mail.
Please specify your objectives in the subject line.
You'll find out more about me with a Google search.
And finally: "Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament." – Igor Stravinsky
I agree completely.
My name, by the way, is Charles Kahlenberg.
FYI : All of the images shown here are derived from images of acrylic paintings done by yours truly. Inquiries are welcomed regarding these and other art work.

I absolutely love getting a chance to try out new ways of lighting and photographing people. In fact, I think it's incredibly important to push yourself as an artist on a regular basis to keep yourself moving forward. So when a good friend of Alyssa and mine volunteered to do some modeling to test out a few lighting concepts we wanted to use for our Colorado Commercial Photography, we were down.
For photographers, these were all shot within the last 3 hours. Get it right in camera, and the editing is quick and easy.

Jupiter fund takes dollar bets as sterling flounders
Jupiter strategic bond fund manager Ariel Bezalel has introduced dollar currency exposure to the fund as he feels sterling has further to fall.
The £447m fund has taken an 8 per cent position in US dollars. This is only the second time it has taken currency bets.
Bezalel says: "There is more downside to be had in sterling as the Bank of England comes round to quantitative easing, putting more pressure on sterling. The UK outside of London is in recession and I fear London will get there as well."
Bezalel says as half of the UK's exports go to Europe, Britain will feel the pinch as the European crisis continues. He adds that UK consumers are already suffering high inflation and low income growth.
If the volatility in Europe continues, Bezalel will further increase his dollar exposure.
JP Morgan international chief investment officer of fixed income Nick Gartside sold down the 10 per cent emerging market currency exposure in the £80.8m strategic bond earlier this year and put part of it in dollar exposure.
Gartside says: "We were concerned about a flare-up of risk and emerging market foreign exchange is very sensitive to risk. Dollar is the real beneficiary in any environment where you have risk-aversion. In that environment, you can expect the dollar to perform strongly."
Dennehy Weller & Co managing director Brian Dennehy says: "In extremes, it is the US dollar and short-dated US treasuries that are the safe havens. In the sort of environment we are in now, we are likely to see dollar strength particularly versus the euro.
"I would be comfortable with a bond manager heavily increasing dollar exposure."

Terroir vs. technique
I learned about wine from my father and mother, at home and well before I had a driver's license. As a family, we tasted wines, at mom's dinners mostly, but we listened to stories from our father more.

Your new little boy or girl has been safely delivered, you've settled on the perfect name, you're ready to head home from the hospital and -- maybe best of all (at the moment, at least) -- you are done with pregnancy. Unfortunately, the physical effects of your pregnancy, labor, and delivery aren't quite over yet. The good news is, we have a comprehensive guide to post-birth recovery to guide you through the process. We'll help you through the not-so-comfortable healing process, including issues like postpartum bleeding and the sometimes scary task of going to the bathroom. Along with the healing process comes the natural question of when it's safe to have sex after birth. The question might come up from your partner before you're ready to deal with it, and we'll help you deal with that situation as well. You'll also need to schedule a postpartum checkup, and we'll walk you through what to expect at that visit. Many new moms experiences some degree of sadness after baby comes, and we'll help you distinguish the difference between the normal baby blues and true postpartum depression. If it is, in fact, postpartum depression, we have information about the treatment process and your different options. Whatever you're going through, though, be sure that it will pass with time -- and your beautiful new baby will still be there, right by your side.

Founded: 1967
Building on more than four decades of innovation and creativity, New Line Cinema continues its long and successful history of producing critically acclaimed hit films that resonate with both mainstream and niche audiences around the world.
New Line produced the Oscar Award-winning The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, which generated a combined worldwide box office of almost $3 billion (and an additional $3 billion in consumer products and home entertainment revenue). The studio is also credited with revitalizing the genre of the R-rated comedy, based on the success of Wedding Crashers in 2005 and, more recently, Horrible Bosses in 2011. New Line is one of the few film companies that still works in the horror genre, being widely known for the iconic A Nightmare on Elm Street and Final Destination franchises.
Throughout its history, New Line has created some of the most successful film franchises in history. Its most popular films include The Mask, the Austin Powers titles, Hairspray, Rush Hour, Elf, Sex and the City and Wedding Crashers.
New Line became a unit of Warner Bros. Entertainment in March 2008. The company maintains separate development, production, marketing, distribution and business affairs operations, but coordinates those functions with Warner Bros. to maximize film performance and operating efficiencies.
Since 2008, the company has seen the most successful period in its history with the releases of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Sex and the City and its sequel, Sex and the City 2; Journey to the Center of the Earth and its sequel, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island; He's Just Not That Into You, Four Christmases, Valentine's Day and Horrible Bosses. New Line's upcoming releases include Jack the Giant Slayer, The Conjuring, We're the Millers and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
New Line's 2014 release slate includes Tammy, Into the Storm, Horrible Bosses 2 and The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, the final film in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, August 15, 2011
COLUMBUS – Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted today announced that visitors to www.ReshapeOhio.org now have the ability to draw new state and congressional district boundaries using 2010 U.S. Census data and the web-based, map drawing program Maptitude.
"ReshapeOhio.org provides an opportunity to educate the public about the redistricting process and makes universally available the same technology the Apportionment Board and General Assembly will be using to develop their maps," Husted said. "It is my hope that Ohioans will engage and provide their input to this very important process."
ReshapeOhio.org is sponsored by Secretary Husted, the Legislative Task Force on Redistricting and the Ohio Apportionment Board and was unveiled during the first meeting of the Apportionment Board. It is meant to serve as a guide for those wishing to learn more about the two parallel, but separate processes for creating new General Assembly and Congressional districts for Ohio based on the latest Census data. Additionally, as of today, visitors to the site will be able to use what they have learned while exploring the site to create and if they choose, submit a plan for new General Assembly districts for consideration by the Apportionment Board.
Under the Apportionment Board's rules, maps must be submitted no later than noon on September 23, 2011 to be considered. Those submitting maps will be required to furnish 10 paper copies and one electronic copy to the Apportionment Board via the Ohio House Clerk's Office, Ohio Statehouse, 2nd Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Plans must include a visual representation and legal definitions of those districts and should be completed for the entire state, that is, including all districts. The only exception applies to those submitting stand-alone minority districts, though these submissions must also include both a visual representation and legal definitions of the proposed boundaries of all districts in the county or counties which would contain the proposed minority districts. For more information about the submission process and available technical support, visit www.ReshapeOhio.org.
While there is no formal submission process for submitting congressional district plans to the General Assembly, the software and data on ReshapeOhio.org is also conducive for those who want to provide input to their own state legislators who will have a vote on the final Congressional district maps.
"ReshapeOhio.org was a priority for me because the redistricting process will have a great impact on Ohio's future, including the leaders it elects and the policies on which we embark as a state and nation," Husted said. "The challenges we face in this country require an engaged and informed public and we hope this public process will provide another important means to that end."
Enactment of Ohio's congressional districts by the Ohio General Assembly and of state legislative districts by the State Apportionment Board occurs every 10 years following the decennial Census. While there is no legal deadline for congressional lines, state legislative maps must be completed by October 5, 2011 per the Ohio Constitution.

Deep in the heart of Mexico lies Rancho ala Blanca (RAB), a little known wingshooting resort with big dreams. When RAB approached Rendezvous Marketing Group the resort's two requests were, more "heads in beds" and to create a showpiece that could put the true grandeur of the resort on paper. The first, a tall order, the second, common day around RMG.
Ad Campaign
To reach a large a diverse group of wingshooting enthusiasts RMG selected just as diverse number of publications to promote RAB. From corporate based publications to regional newspapers and higher end, endemic publications. With each publication came several creative campaigns that would appeal to the respected audience, it worked flawlessly, Rancho ala Blanca increased their business by well over seventy-five percent.
Booking Agent Alignment
Another key factor in the overall sales success of an outfitter is aligning with quality booking agents. RMG recruited some of the best in the business but, did not end there. How do you create synergy and keep agents interested in a single property? By providing them with creative and marketing outlets customized to their company. Thus, RMG does all the work and the booking agents get the commission.
Showcase Piece
Getting potential customers excited and impressed was the goal when creating Rancho ala Blanca's main showcase piece. With professional photography of vivid and breathtaking images, content that tugged on the heartstrings as well as appealed to the avid wingshooter, creative outlet that easily flows and lastly adding a fifth and sixth color to a landscaped layout and finishing it off with UV Coating reached the end goal of creating a piece that puts the resort of paper.

Commissioners' veto of Lake County Council attrition ordinance will likely stand
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent December 6, 2012 5:32PM
Updated: January 8, 2013 6:26AM
Lake County Council members likely will not call for a vote to override a Board of Commissioners' veto of an attrition ordinance that would return half the pay of an eliminated position to other workers in that department.
Councilwoman Christine Cid, D-East Chicago, sponsored the ordinance approved by the County Council during the budget process this year that would have given departments the opportunity to cut unneeded positions or unfilled vacancies and benefit from the savings.
Under the ordinance, half of the revenue saved would have been returned to the general fund and the other half could be used by the department to provide raises for remaining employees since they would be doing the work of the eliminated position.
Commissioners vetoed the measure calling it unfair to some of the county's smaller departments and the workers there. Some departments, they said, have so few employees they would not be able to cut a position and it is unfair their employees would not be able to get raises.
Cid said she did not think she would have the votes to get the veto overturned on Tuesday. Council President Jerome Prince, D-Gary, and Councilwoman Elsie Franklin, D-Gary, are not expected to attend Tuesday's meeting. It is also unclear if the Republican replacement for former councilman and new state Rep. Rick Neimeyer will be in attendance.
"I may just have to let it go," Cid said. The ordinance would have to be approved by Dec. 31.
Councilman Ted Bilski, D-Hobart, stood behind the ordinance.
"It's not fair to not give some people raises either," Bilski said.

Quit it Already, Tap-Tap!
Quit it Already, Tap-Tap! is the final extra level in Yoshi's Island DS, and last in order in the game. As the title suggests, there are Tap-Taps in all four areas – in three, a Super Big Tap-Tap. Layout[edit]White Yoshi begins the level near a Stork Stop and a ! Switch. He must run on various ! Blocks and land pieces, while a Super Big Tap-Tap tries to crush him. After running at a certain time, the dinosaur rides a platform to grab a Flower and reach on the top of a wall to proceed to the second area. Afterwards, the player must be paired with Baby Peach to be lifted by the wind until he reaches a Door, avoiding more land pieces. A Super Big Tap-Tap and purple spikes are placed in this area, too. Near the door, the player can collect another Flower. When White Yoshi enters the door, he is led to a corridor filled with Tap-Taps. By Ground Pounding a soft soil, he goes down to an area infested with Tap-Taps, Coins and purple spikes, as well as an Egg Plant. A Flower is found near an arrow-shaped group of spikes. The arrow points to a passage that contains a Chomp Rock and many Tap-Taps. The player must get to a Mole Tank to dig his way up to a Flower and to an area with automatic vertical scroll. Dodging all the spikes, the player reaches in a tunnel with even more Tap-Taps and spikes. By entering the door at the end of the area, White Yoshi goes to an enormous area, where he rides many Mine Carts to escape a Super Big Tap-Tap, until he reaches the final area, where the goal roulette is located.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Beau!
Facts about Beau
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Border Collie Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Beau's Info...
Meet Beau! This sweet boy is looking for his forever home! He is about 5 months old and weighs 29 lbs. He would be a great addition to any family!
Other Pets at Tehama County Animal Care Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Beau, a Red Bluff Labrador Retriever/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Border Collie for sale in Red Bluff, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Red Bluff.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Red Bluff 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 Red Bluff 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 Labrador Retriever/Border Collie breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Red Bluff paves the way for another one to be saved.

After several weeks of struggling with yellowing cucumber leaves, I just discovered a couple of spotted cucumber beetles on my plants. Fortunately, the beetles have not yet discovered my in-ground plants (yet?) so I should manage to have a supply for a few more weeks. I'm also starting some seeds this week for a late summer crop which I will definitely be planting in a fresh container.
I'm wondering though what to do about this EarthTainer. Is there some way to sterilize the planting medium? I'm not keen about just dumping it in the yard. Can I use this container for something else, e.g. peppers? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could try solarizing the mix.. Tie it closed in a trash bag and leave in the hottest sunniest area you have for a couple of days...that should kill most anything in there. Placing it on a blacktop driveway that gets a lot of sun would be good. |

I totally agree with you. However a majority of council members and many devs seem to think that since GLEP 39 was originally voted by all devs then every amendment to it needs to also be voted by all devs. As I saw that coming I asked the council to vote on whether it could decide on a process and the outcome was no. The only sensible way to go forward now is thus to ask developers what they want us to do. The other alternatives are not amending GLEP 39 or asking all devs to vote on each amendments. The former is obviously silly and I'm convinced the latter, although logical, isn't a good practical solution and may not be what a majority of devs want. Denis.

Here's the arrangement, dear Jaded Android Gamer - you will pretend you have zero interest in FarmVille, and we will pretend not to judge. Instead, we're even going to provide you with this tidbit of news: FarmVille 2 is coming to Android phones and tablets soon, with an early version already available for testing in select regions.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got an agricultural-extraterrestrial tower defense game, a business sim for beer lovers, a real-time strategy game with single device multiplayer, a game that indulges your god complex, and another Amazon expatriate.
The first batch of Nexus 5 phones reached many early customers yesterday, but many of those taking advantage of the phone's compatibility with the Sprint network are having serious issues getting the device connected. According to several tips, this XDA thread, and this Google Groups thread, incompatible IMEI/MEID numbers on the phones are causing the activation process to fail, and giving major headaches all around.
Update: Sprint reached out to us with word that this is no longer an issue.
Star Command is one of my most-anticipated games for Android. Or at least it was, two years ago when it was scheduled to be released, and then again when it was released for iOS five months ago. An unreasonably long development cycle and some dodgy developer antics have made waiting for this game an exercise in frustration, and it's impossible to give it a full review without at least some bitterness hanging on in the back of my mind.
Transport Tycoon needs no introduction, but I'm going to introduce it anyway. You see, as popular as this title was, many of us managed to miss it. Actually, that probably doesn't come as much of a surprise. A game about transporting people and products around isn't exactly the easiest sell. Yet if you take the time to dig in, there is a wealth of content here that's sure to hook you for a very long time.
In a post to its official blog today, HTC asked developers "what could better than the HTC One," quickly following up with the answer: the same phone. Okay, not quite the same phone – this one is shipped with SIM and bootloader unlocked.
Positioning the device as "a modern platform to build and test your apps," HTC reminds potential buyers of the One's Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB RAM, 64GB on-board storage, HTC's open APIs for low-energy Bluetooth, Infrared, and "more," along with its dual speakers and microphones.
The life of a racehorse trainer is no bed of wood shavings. It's a dirty, thankless job, with high risk to both money and person, and a big win can be years in the making. So what better vocation to make a sim game out of? Android gaming favorite Kairosoft is up to the challenge - after all, they managed to make both real estate and tailoring fun - with Pocket Stables.
We've been hearing for the past few days that users have been unable to get new AT&T-compatible SIM cards from Straight Talk and Net10 websites. The only option seems to be the T-Mobile SIM. This was causing quite a bit of consternation as the Nexus 4 is finally starting to ship again. The complete absence of AT&T SIMs from both sites led many to wonder if AT&T service was no longer being sold by these Tracfon-owned entities.
Psst. There's a new Kairosoft game out. For some of you, that's all the urging you need to make tracks to the Google Play Store. For the rest of you, how about the fact that it's a free game in the seemingly popular "building manager" mold? Dream House Days puts you in control of a high-rise luxury apartment complex. Which might not sound as exciting as running a game studio or colonizing a planet, but Kairosoft tends to get a lot of fun out of even the most mundane premises.
Fans of old-school classics, gather round and feast your eyes! Atari has announced that two of its high-value properties will be coming to Android in 2013. First on the list is the retro hit Roller Coaster Tycoon. If you were around in the late 90s (and we assume most of our readers are over the age of 12), you might remember that there were two kinds of simulation games back then: Sim games from Maxis, and everyone else.

They die after stinging human flesh. From wikipedia:
When a honey bee stings a person, it cannot pull the barbed stinger back out. It leaves behind not only the stinger, but also part of its abdomen and digestive tract, plus muscles and nerves. This massive abdominal rupture is what kills the honey bee. Honey bees are the only species of bees to die after stinging.
Unless they use Joan Rivers to collect the venom, I'm sure they've figured out how to not kill the bees during the process.

These wealthy investors beat the ASX 200 last week
PUBLISHED: 09 Jul 2013 10:54:19 | UPDATED: 11 Jul 2013 00:45:10PRINT EDITION: 09 Jul 2013The July 4 decision by the NSW state government to award Crown preferred bidder status for a new casino at Barangaroo helped lift James Packer's wealth. Photo: Louise Kennerley

BRW's new Rich Index tracks the stocks which are under the influence or control of the country's wealthiest people. These are listed companies that benefit from the expertise of the ultra rich.
Last week, the rich achieved almost double the capital growth of the rest of the market. From July 1 to July 5, the Rich Index rose 5.11 per cent, while the S&P/ASX 200 was up 2.67 per cent. That amounts to a $1.55 billion increase in the wealth of the Rich 200.
So who stood out, for better or worse?
Some of the miners did well. Andrew Forrest from Fortescue Metals Group gained about $400 million after a recovery in its share price.
Another standout performer was Craig Winkler, a major shareholder in accounting software provider Xero. Winkler's stake in Xero, which is held in a charitable trust, was up $34 million for the week. Xero's share price has risen by 248 per cent since debuting on the ASX. Last week it rose 13.4 per cent.
The July 4 decision by the NSW state government to award Crown preferred bidder status for a new casino at Barangaroo helped lift James Packer's wealth. Crown stock has risen in value by 6.6 per cent from July 1 to July 5, lifting his wealth by about $285 million.
The worst performer both in proportional and real terms was Len Ainsworth. His stake in Ainsworth Game Technology fell by $52 million, but he is unlikely to complain after enjoying strong rises at his poker machine company for most of the year.

Or do I have to bare root them? I'm planning on leaving them either in the garage (temps around 55) or inside the house (70). Will it make a difference with either location? They will lose their leaves anyways, and there will not be any growth, right?
Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
In pots is fine. In the garage is fine as long as temps do not go into the thirties. The house will be drier so you want to have no leaves and force dormancy by cutting off the leaves. You can leave them outside as temps get into the low fifties and move before colder conditions. Usually 50s start dormancy but some plamts can be stubborn. |
So if temps don't go in to the 30s, I can leave outdoors? They will be under a patio cover, so they won't get soaking wet from the rain, if that's a concern. |
most people start getting concerned when the temperatures get in the low 40s. Mine remain out all year and have had bouts with frosts. I have lost a few but most (talking hundreds) survive. So, in your case, you can leave them under your cover until temps in the low 40s are predicted and then consider more protection. |
As a professional killer of plumerias. You don't want them outside when it's below 40. |
Juicygirl- there are some habits that can reduce your damages. Fertilizing into fall encourages green growth which is very sensitive to cold. Stop fertilizing in late summer. Giving your plants high potassium (last number) in late summer or products like Protekt (0-0-3) help to harden and prepare plants for colder weather. Moving plants close to a south facing wall or under a cover or overhang helps them endure colder temps. Bill |

Every time I water my Elephant Ear in the gritty mix, I see a fair amount of run-off. I also use a little Foliage Pro each watering as well. Is there any harm/good if I collect the water from the drainage dish and dump it back into the pot? This would help the gritty material get soaked better, because just a one-time run through with the water may not be enough to soak the Turface and bark. I normally water twice in a row at each watering just for this reason. Thanks, |

I would say water through once with plain water, discard the runoff, and then water again with fertilised water and recycle that water until you feel the mix is wetted enough. |
newgen Here is answer to your question - Al (tapla) answering someone else on House Plants forum (thread: Watering issues): Posted by tapla z5b-6a mid-MI (My Page) on Fri, Mar 22, 13 at 9:53 One of the most significant benefits of using soils that allow you to water copiously with no concern about potential root problems related to excessive sogginess is the fact that the ability to flush the soil at each watering prevents dissolved solids (salts) from building up in the soil. Ideally, when you water you would allow the effluent passing out of the drain hole to run down a drain or collect in a saucer. When it DOES collect in the saucer, the container should be lifted above the effluent, so after it exits the pot, there is no way the dissolved solids contained in the effluent have any chance of getting back into the soil. I set my pots up on little 1-1/4" blocks that rest in the saucer. I don't need to empty the collection saucer because the water that collects there can't get back into the pot. It evaporates and contributes to the area humidity, but you could empty the collection saucer if you like, or water over the sink. If you're using a fertilizer that might not be a problem if you're watering properly, it can quickly become a serious problem if you're NOT watering properly. We know the impact of dissolved solids on the uptake of water also limits the ability to take up nutrients, but when dissolved solids accumulate the ratio of nutrients to each other in the soil can quickly become skewed, which has the effect of one nutrient present in excess making it difficult or impossible for the plant to take up another nutrient. This is very common when using fertilizers with too much phosphorous, and is quickly exacerbated when the soil isn't flushed regularly. Al Posted by tapla z5b-6a mid-MI (My Page) on Fri, Mar 22, 13 at 15:57 If you're using the gritty mix, there is very little possibility that you're over-watering, or that flushing the soil thoroughly would create a problem, so I would do that. If you didn't screen the mix carefully, and there are fines in the soil, then use a wick and tilt the pot after you flush - then water normally. I use a level 1/4 tsp/gal of FP 9-3-6 every time I water, and I've been well pleased with the results ever since I settled on that amount, so I'm thinking you could cut back on the amount of fertilizer you're providing. I'm pretty sure that with the 1/2 tsp/gal + the recycling of the effluent, that your plants are seeing some fertilizer burn. Plants that are fertilized at higher rates (luxury levels) often show symptoms of deficiencies when the concentration of nutrients in the soil returns to the adequacy range, so that's one + of fertigating @ each watering (it won't happen). Another is, even in nature, nutrient uptake is very closely linked (almost directly) to water uptake, the primary modifier being temperature, which isn't a particularly significant factor when houseplants are the topic. I said that so I can say there is some benefit in not having to keep track of what needs fertilizing when. I fertilize and water everything at nearly the same intervals, and at the same fertilizer rates, and for the last 15 years or so, my plants have all been practically free of blemished foliage. You're trying to do essentially what I (and many others) have been doing, so I expect that once you get the bugs worked out & get your dosages refined, you'll begin to see how easy it can be. I'm pulling for you! ;-) |
Consider how much water and soap we waste taking a bath, yet who would suggest reusing it for the next bath? Al |
Thank you Rina! That explains everything. |
Hmmm not reusing bath water is a good point. pondering to what is being said.... What works for one person wont always be consistent with what someone else is going to do ? OR Even in a remote chance of not over watering the possibilities of over watering still exist ? Better yet Does a dormant plant need X amount of water in the first place only to water by recycle the catch ? |
