A chicken in a dream also represents a woman who takes care of orphans and raises charities for their sake, or it could represent a blond woman, or a servant. Owning a chicken in a dream means dispelling difficulties, or it could be a show of happiness. Hunting a chicken in a dream means receiving lawful and easy profits. Slaughtering a chicken in a dream means deflowering a virgin servant. If one sees a chicken or a female
hooting inside his house or garden in a dream, it means a calamity which is met with a belligerent character. Seeing one's house filled with a large number of chickens in a dream means wealth or presiding over people, or it could mean dispelling one's fear and establishing one's rank. (Also see Peacock)
Feather and Wings Dream Explanation

Example of Species Dream Explanation
— A specific tree like the date tree or a walnut tree. The date tree may be interpreted as an honorable Arab gentleman since date trees are mainly indigenous to arab countries. As for the walnut tree, it represents a non-Arab person since these trees do not grow in the land of the Arabs. The same applies to birds. If a bird is huge it symbolizes an Arab gentleman; a
represents a non-Arab gentleman.
Starling Dream Explanation
— (zool.) In a dream, a starling represents an ascetic, one who surrenders to Allah's will, a true believer, a patient man, a traveller or a companion on the road. If one sees himself holding a starling in a dream, it means that he will meet someone of such caliber. If he eats its flesh, or pulls out its
in the dream, it means that he will receive benefits. A starling in a dream also may represent the element of mixing good deeds with bad ones, or a person who is neither rich or poor, neither honest or vile. Seeing a starling in a dream also means humiliation, being content with little, or it may represent a writer. (Also see Swallow)
Saturn Dream Explanation
— (Planet) In a dream, the planet Saturn represents subjugation, rulership, deputyship, power of attorney, or seeking any of the above. If one sees the planet Saturn close to the moon in dream, it means that he is thinking of business expansion, real estate, properties, or buildings. The planet Saturn in a dream also represents a person who lives in the wilderness and mixes with wildlife, buffalos, dears,
, francolin, parrots, or any beautiful looking animal, or it could represent a caterpillar, silk, or a stripped fabric denoting an architect, or a caller to prayers, or any courteous employee who willingly and wholeheartedly serves others. The planet Saturn in a dream also means punishment, poverty, business losses or adversities.
Fame Dream Explanation
— (Acknowledgment; Announcement; Distinction; Luminary; Recognition; Renowned; Title) Fame in a dream represents a wedding that will be publicly announced, or it could mean rising in rank. If one earns a title of recognition, or if he becomes renowned, or if he is awarded a great prize for his work in a dream, it means that he will learn that his wife has given birth to a beautiful son. Such a son will follow his father's footsteps, learn his trade or work at
his knowledge or tradition, or he may govern and lead his people after him.
Baby crow Dream Explanation
— (Fledgling; Nestling) A fledgling crow in a dream represents poverty, need, separation from one's parents and segregation from one's relatives or clan. If one is experiencing such adverse conditions in wakefulness, then seeing a fledgling crow in a dream means satisfaction of one's needs and reunion with his family. When the egg hatches and the baby crow comes out of it, the parents shy away from their fledgling and remain distant from the nest. Then Allah Almighty will provide the nestling crow with various types of flies to eat from. Once the baby crow's
grow, the parents will return to their nest and care for their baby until it commences to fly.
Lying Dream Explanation
— (Blunder; Lies; Tell a lie) Lying in a dream means giving false testimony in court, fabricating a lie, slandering someone, or it could mean constant failure in one's life. Lying in a dream also means talking nonsense, or letting one's imagination do the talking, or
a sharp idea. If someone hears that in a dream, and if he spreads the word, then the negative effects of his doing will bring more harm than good. If one sees himself lying to Allah Almighty in a dream, it means that he has no brain. (Also see Blunder)
Threshold Dream Explanation
— In a dream, a threshold represents one's gown, garment, one's adornment, makeup, money, or it may denote closing a subject,
it, or it could represent a beautiful woman who embodies all the attributes man desires, including beauty, good character, intelligence, wealth and fertility. Buying a new threshold or sitting on one in a dream means that either the husband or the wife may suffer a bodily injury. If one sees himself sitting under the threshold of his door in a dream, it represents an adversity or an illness. If one sees himself being carried over the threshold of his door in a dream, it represents his funeral. (Also see Doorstep; Door lintel; Doorplate)
Knowledge Dream Explanation
— (Bread; Learning; Wall) To see oneself acquiring knowledge in a dream means marriage and rising in status. Such a wedding will be announced publicly. If one earns a title of recognition, or if he becomes renowned, or if he is awarded a great prize for his work in a dream, it means glad tidings of a beautiful son he will beget and who will follow his father's footsteps, learn his trade, or work at
his father's knowledge or traditions, or he may govern or lead after him. To learn about Allah Almighty, or about the prophetic traditions of His Messenger, upon whom be peace, in a dream means being encompassed with Allah's mercy and subtle kindness. To learn about sorcery, black magic or similar arts in a dream mean following innovation and walking the path of heedlessness. (Also see Learning)
Eagle Dream Explanation
— (Vulture) Eagle is the king of birds. Struggling with an eagle in a dream means distress, fury of one's superior or subjugation to an unjust person. Owning an obedient, well tamed eagle in a dream means prosperity, honor and power. Owning and flying an eagle in a dream means becoming a tyrant. The scratch of an eagle in a dream means a sickness. A killed eagle in a dream means the death of a ruler. If a pregnant woman sees an eagle in her dream, it means seeing a midwife or a nurse. In a dream, an eagle also may be interpreted to represent a great ruler, a prophet or a righteous person. Hearing the cry of an eagle in a dream means a fight. Eating the flesh of an eagle or getting hold of some of its
in a dream means receiving money from a ruler. If an eagle catches someone and soars away with him horizontally in a dream, it means travels. If he flies away with him vertically in the dream, it means death. In a dream, an eagle also means longevity, prosperity, innovation or heedlessness. (Also see Vulture)
Semen Dream Explanation
— (Also see Sperm.)
• The semen of a beautiful woman: Honey or cooking butter.
• Black semen or sperm coming from the wife's vagina: She will give birth to a boy who will dominate his folk.
• Yellow semen coming from the wife's vagina: She will give birth to a sick child.
• Red semen coming from the wife's vagina: She will give birth to a boy who will not live long.
• Marrying a resuscitated man, taking him to one's house, having sex, and
her discharge all over one's body: Will regret some act, lose as a result of it, and experience worries, but things will be set right later on. The more discharge there is on the dreamer's body, the better. The same interpretation applies if the hero of the dream was a woman and the discharge a man's sperm.

this happened last time i planted vegetable seeds, too. they always grow to little cute seedling sprouts and then BAM! something.. snips them? It's weird. It's like, one day they're fine, then something strikes in the night and snips them. right now.. most of my arugula and mustard are untouched except a select few, maybe because they're spicy? EVERY new kale that sprouts gets snipped though! so did my sugar snap peas. it's weird, they're not eaten. they just look like the top was cut off. it's always laying on the ground next to the crime scene (i included a picture) though. i asked yahoo answers and was told maybe it's slugs or cutworms.. but wouldn't they eat the tops of the plants, not just snip them? I thought it was my cat at first because she likes eating plants, but then I made some connections and i don't think she could bite the top off the plants so perfectly, literally looks like someone took scissors to them.. plus she always eats the plants, doesn't just bite them. i never see animals by the garden. i have no "rural" type animals around me like deer or rabbits, but i do have squirrel, birds and mice. i never see them, or the cat by the garden though?? what could it be? i sprinkled food grade diatamacious earth around all of them so far but not until today. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cutworms. For some reason they love to do that. Just cut a toilet paper or paper holder about 3 or 4 inches high. Put it around the base of the plant and shove it into the soil so it stays. They can't cross it. |
Agree that cutworms are the most likely if you don't have rabbits. Mice and rats is another possibility as are birds - they snip off seedlings too. Then there is always snails and slugs. I use sticks alongside my stems for cutworms - popsickle sticks work well if you have them. But you will have to go out at night with a flashlight to see what is doing it. Look for signs of slug trails. Dave |
Go out there late at night with a flash light and see if you see slugs or cutworms. Check ever 1 to 2 hrs after dark till day light. If you don't see any I would say rats or rabbits. |
I agree. Cutworms. Like Dave said, it could be slugs also, but I've noticed with slugs, they just raze the sprouts to the ground. The way you describe is typical cutworms--- Snip at the soil line and come out the next morn to see the seedling just lying there. I use toothpicks... 2-3 right next to the stalk so they can't wrap around and snip. Haven't lost a single seedling since I started doing this. It's a little extra work but I sleep better. Kevin |
..... or you could use plastic collars made from 2 liter soft-drink bottles. Each bottle will make 2 or 3 collars depending on how tall you want them. A sharp non-serrated knife works the best for cutting the plastic. I re-use the collars. When not in use I stack them on 6 to 7 ft tall poles near the compost pile. (We rarely purchase the bottles. But, they are easy to come by.... e.g. I recently grabbed a few at family holiday celebrations.) |
3 tooth picks pushed down next to the stem is another option to deal with cutworms. |
thanks everyone! I will try that and keep you updated! |
By the way, I'd like to add that the last two days i lined around the plants and the beds with my food grade diatamacious earth, and no more cut seedlings! But unfortunately i can't afford to continue buying it since it would take so much to keep putting it on, since it stops working when i get water on it. |
You have not yet established the cause and have not identified the culprit. Therefore, spending too much money or chemicals is just like shooting in the dark. JMO |
I agree that it's cutworms and that going out in the evening after dark with a flashlight will find them munching. I also sift through the first inch or so of soil around a plant with a cut stem and can usually find the culprit during the day. I plant seedlings with collars made of yogurt cups with the bottom cut off, similar to Grandad's soda bottle collars. With row crops, you can use diatomaceous earth, be vigilant about checking daily and removing any cutworms, or cut strips from soda bottles to line along both sides of the row. Cutworms are easy to ID if you find them. They are small caterpillars, brownish to grayish to greenish in color, and when disturbed they curl up into a C or small spiral. They can do damage when quite small, less than 1/4 inch long, and they grow to about 1 1/4 inches long around here. A couple of rocks to squish them or a small container of soapy water to drop them into will get rid of them easily, but if you have many, the barriers work really well as long as you check that there are no cutworms in the soil right around the plant or seed before setting up the barriers. |

Yep, sounds sorta like cutworms. I sprinkle the ground with Bt just before seedlings emerge. If I'm desperate, I'll throw down some Sevin dust as well. (Bt is, I understand, not highly effective on cutworms.) For small plants that I transplant, like tomatoes and peppers, with well defined stems, I slit a one-inch piece of plastic drinking straw lengthwise, and slip it over each stem, touching the ground. Fast and easy. No problems any more. Now, your drawing shows the stem being cut off well above the ground. That's not what cutworms do. They cut the stem close to the ground, because the worms are on the ground. So if your drawing is correct, the pest might not be cutworms. Can we assume that your drawing is somewhat abstract? |
The drawing is correct! It was just the top part cut off. but today i noticed a chard was cut at the soil line. the remaining kale is untouched though. |
- Posted by daninthedirt 8b / HZ10 Cent. TX (My Page) on Tue, Jan 21, 14 at 9:24
Well, my cutworms slice off the plant at the base, but I believe there are some species that actually climb the stalk. Maybe that's what you have. Though I believe that climbing cutworms just climb to eat the leaves, and not to chop off the stem. |
It's so easy to deter them with a cardboard tube around the base like I suggested earlier. |
- Posted by daninthedirt 8b / HZ10 Cent. TX (My Page) on Tue, Jan 21, 14 at 12:04
That's good for transplants, but when you have a seed packet full of peas coming up, that strategy isn't going to be easy. That's a lot of tubes. Sevin dust, Bt, Diatomaceous earth, or go out at night with a flashlight and hand-pick them. I've heard that cornmeal messes with their digestive system, though I've never tried that myself. |

Although birds will sometimes clip off the stem of a young seedling, this typically occurs during the day. If it's at night, this is probably the cutworm, as others have already written. Alan Chadwick had a technique for dealing with these larva which I have not seen mentioned here so far, so I'll briefly describe it. In the morning, when you discover the severed plant lying on the ground, look carefully within a circle of about 6' from the stem. Most often you will discover a small hole in the surface of the soil (about 1/16' in diameter). Take a table knife (not sharp) and dig down abut an inch or two to the side of that little hole. Flip the soil up onto the surface and look for the cutworm. They are quite easy to catch that way. As one or two of them can do a lot of damage, usually there aren't very many of them to worry about. Just be careful not to disturb the soil around the stricken plant, so that you can find the little hole. Chadwick called these larva by the name used in England where he was trained: Leatherjackets. More information about his masterful gardening techniques can be found at the link below. |

text: I remember studying Greek mythology back in high school but I have to admit that I couldn't remember all twelve of Hercules' labors. I do remember though that he had to slay a dragon, but I thought it was a three headed serpent from the sea. This was a fascinating article and I thank you for sharing it with us.

But my favorite church remains the Church of Osios David, a tiny structure set on a porch high up in the Upper City, where a toothless old woman explained to me, in a hopeful mixture of Greek, French, English, and (I think) Italian, the wonders of the mosaics and paintings: a rambunctious Ezekiel with a bull and a lion, an inexpressibly tender fresco of the Virgin bathing the infant Jesus. Outside on the patio, I caught my breath at the sweeping views all the way down to the Lower City. In one corner of this heavenly terrace, on that very warm day, someone was playing country-and-western music.
This all-too-typical contrast in Thessaloniki of stillness and activity, past and present, a kind of melancholy and a kind of violence, is also characteristic of the city's Ottoman monuments—most of them small, domed buildings that suddenly pop up on a side street or amid a cluster of otherwise undistinguished concrete apartment buildings. But Thessaloniki's oldest self—its classical self—offers more surprising moments of stillness and cool. Just below Ayios Dimitrios, at the dead center of the city, is the Roman Forum, with its tiny, perfect theater, its elegant colonnade: here again, a strange emptiness, a sense of too much space, can tinge one's admiration of the ruins with a kind of regret. Even the Archaeological Museum, farther down toward the water, feels quiet and introspectivecompared to the big museum in Athens. It has opted for focus over size, and the result is that everything you see, you remember: a dazzling sampling of Hellenistic mosaics (one floor's decoration depicts the seductions of Ganymede by Zeus, Ariadne by Dionysus, and Daphne by Apollo; you can only assume this was the floor of someone's bedroom), Roman glass (there's a fabulous little jar whose belly is shaped like a baby's face, in iridescent green), sculpture (a professional actor's immodest tomb monument; plus ça change), and above all gold. The Derveni Krater, a vast, ornate Hellenistic vase,represents the acme of ancient metalsmithing; but to my mind, as with so much else about this city, smaller is better—and more evocative. There are gold wreaths here that imitate laurel or olive so realistically that the berries quiver on the precious twigs; there is also a pair of pins, sinister in their length and pointed, with great incised balls at the end, of the sort Greek women once used to fasten their elaborately draped dresses. It was a pair of pins such as these that Oedipus used to blind himself; somehow, in Thessaloniki, it is easy to think of tragedy while looking at beauty.
And it was of tragedy and beauty that I thought, again and again, on this return to Thessaloniki, which has known both so well; it was of both that I thought on my last night there when, during a final walk along the waterfront, I bought an ancient paperback of the complete poems of Cavafy from an old man selling books off a table near the White Tower. Cavafy's poem "The City," though an ode to Alexandria, suits Thessaloniki, in its faded grandeur, its compelling entwining of the ancient and the contemporary, of capitalism and regret, of bourgeois Victorian plushness and Middle Eastern secrets. The poem is an imaginary dialogue between the narrator and someone who claims to want to leave the city and never again return: "I'll go to another land," that person says, "I'll go to another sea./I'll find another city, one that's better than this." To which complaint the narrator rightly counters: "New places: you won't find them; you won't find new seas./The city will follow you."
Thessaloniki followed me. Even when I thought I had done with it, it made me come back.

Recently in last few days, we all have seen lot of controversies related to controversial sex scandal in Kashmir which paralysed state of Jammu and Kashmir for many days. Kashmir sex racket came into lime light in 2006 when it was found that many girls from Kashmir including minor girls were supplied to top politicians and bureaucrats of J&K.
Girls were forced to do sex with various top officials and politicians for giving jobs to their family members. This racket shocked whole nation because this racket established role of state machinery in such heinous crime for first time. Presently, this case is under CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation), which has filled charge sheet against numbers of top police officers, bureaucrats and politicians; however, problem with this case is that nothing concrete is done by CBI so far.
Many people believe that CBI has let off many top officials and politicians or weakened case against them. On the other hand, main opposition party of J&K like PDP wants to exploit this issue by seeing anger in Kashmiri people against this crime. Kashmir is already a very sensitive matter for India and people in Kashmir already feel cheated by India; therefore, such matter further increase anger among people of Kashmir.
It is very heinous crime to force or exploit women on the name of power and if this happens in India then it is big shame for India itself. Our laws and law governing machineries have many times failed in saving women from such brutalities. Such crimes will continue to remain flourishing in India unless we people raise our voice against such crimes wherever they happen.

Quick Spin: Steelers Activate RB Rashard Mendenhall
Posted by Rob Warner in SPIN Articles No Comments »
The Steelers must be getting desperate for RB depth as they have surprisingly activated Rashard Mendenhall from the PUP list. Mendenhall suffered the injury in week 16 last season and his expected absence had Isaac Redman climbing draft boards. Redman suffered a groin injury in training camp that was labeled as minor but regardless his fantasy draft stock takes a hit with Mendenhall now back in the mix – although we question that he'll be anything close to 100% before midseason at the earliest.
Redman's ADP had him coming off the boards in rounds 6/7 as a higher end RB2 but that figures to fall based on today's news that Rashard Mendenhall will likely be in uniform week 1.
The Steelers backfield is now shaping up as a dreaded RBBC depressing the fantasy value of all parties involved. Mendenhall is just 25 years old and has amassed 30 TDs over the past three seasons. His YPC has remained pedestrian but Mendy might make for a lottery ticket worth punching depending on your level of risk taking. We still wouldn't touch him until rounds 9/10 at the earliest.

Funny that, here's me thinking *Christianity* was about Jesus and the New
Testament. Whatever happened to "He that is without sin among you, let him
cast the first stone." Oh I forgot, stoning isn't used anymore, it's
electrocution, lethal injection, gas chamber... so that's all right then...
not! No doubt you'll argue that because there's slavery in the Bible, we
should bring that back. No wonder I don't like organised religion all that

I've moved into a new house and a lovely clematis in the yard has just started blooming (two days ago).
It is red with a magenta tint, and the stamens are yellow with a brownish red anthers, similar to "Rouge Cardinal". This photo was taken when the flower was just opening, which is why the sepals are still a bit concave. I'll see how the sepal shape changes when it's fully opened. Any hints would be appreciated! |

I immediately thought Ernest too. Before I read Jeanne's post. |

I don't know either but it sort of reminds me of Westerplatte. |
- Posted by mandarinfish (My Page) on Wed, May 26, 10 at 11:28
Thanks for the help, everyone! I think it must be Earnest Markham too. It does resemble Westerplatte as well, but the anthers look more like Earnest Markham. |
It's not a Westerplatte because I have that one and the blooms are too large for it. Jeanne is the clematis Queen, has a lot;ask her how many..I think it was about 30 and I bet she's bought more since I heard that count. Somewhere on this forum or on gardenbuddies.com you can view pictures of her clematis. Maybe on her own page. |

Grrr... I was picturing Ville de Lyon because mine is blooming right now, and totally blanked on how Ernest Markham looks. Thanks for the slap upside the head, Pippi, Next time I'll be more careful. BTW, I have 52 clematis. :) |
- Posted by jeanne_texas Z 8B TX (email@example.com) on Sat, May 29, 10 at 7:58
I stopped counting when I got to 100..it just seemed the smart thing to do after my husband said..duh..do you think you've got an addiction going on here?..If we had stock in Clematis we'd be rich..that was 3 years ago....BUT now he loves my clematis and just giggles when he sees a new box arrive and I tell him "DON'T YOU DARE SAY ONE WORD"..cause he knows if he does his "Addiction" to fly fishing rods might come to an end..Just ONE of his fly rods costs over 900.00.. |

Ok girls...as you know they say verbalizing your addiction is supposedly the first step to recovery..BUT..this is one addiction that I refuse to recover from..until they pry that clematis bloom from my dead and cold fingers..LOL..hmm..sorta mellow dramatic but that's me ..what the heck..OK..I planted 15 this Spring in my "Miguel Memorial" garden..Veronica's choice with my climbing rosa "Lavendar Lassie" another one (which eludes my mind at the moment..gezzzz..hates when that happens..drawing a blank) with my Climbing rosa "Tess of the d'Urbenvilles" Two Clematis "Florida" behind my birdbath...Two Clematis with Climbing rosa "Pinata" 4 clematis back behind my two rosa "Cinco de Mayo" (which I just planted this Spring..hey yall..I do plant tons of Non-clematis plants each year!)and I have 6 potted up waiting to get more mature in my retaining gardens!! (3 of those are "Cassis") I planted clematis "Ashva" under my Loquat Tree with two others that were already there! ..this doesn't include "whatever" I get when the fall sales begin..I would honest divulge that but I can't forsee an upcoming addictional choice..but it will most probably be "those" which I've had a hankering for and don't have..grrrr..ok let me add that up for "part of this year" since I can't add my fall orders yet..hmmm..15+2+2+4+6=29? gezzz...I shoulda just agreed with you Janet and compted to 25 a year..LOL..oh well my motto is "You only Live ONCE"...thanks girls for helping me "Face" my addiction..believe it or not it put a face to my fun BUT it still doesn't equal up to what dear hubby has spent this year on his addictions..LOL...Jeanne |

So you are closer to 300 hundred, then :) I see no point in scaring yourself feeling like someone should put you in a recovery program because we all know that the person who dies with the most clematis wins. lol |
- Posted by jeanne_texas Z 8B TX (email@example.com) on Sun, May 30, 10 at 19:27
OMG!!..I don't think so...if I went out there with my calculator I'd probably get a heatstroke..maybe I am closer to 200?..I'm still in the game to see who dies with the most..I don't care if I win...it's the "Journey" that matters..and this one has been one hellofva RIDE!!..How could it not be..getting to meet all of you and most of all learning and sharing a passion that only we can appreciate..whoooopppeeeeeee |

Strawberry Dessert Bruschetta
From EatingWell.com
Astoundingly good for minimal effort, this makes an indulgent weekend breakfast or anyday dessert. A judicious smear of mascarpone (half the fat of butter) is part of the luxury, but even lighter low-fat cream cheese will work as well. The real secret is warming the berries just enough to make the flavor bloom and transform their juices into a rosy syrup.

National Editor Tom KarstI did something the last couple of weeks that many Americans apparently haven't done since high school.
I read a book. Yes, it's no biggie, I know.
But I was surprised to find that nearly one-fifth of Americans over 16 years old said in a survey taken in December that they hadn't read a single book in the previous 12 months. That 19% figure is the highest since such surveys were first taken in 1978, according to statistics from Pew. In 1978, a Gallup poll asked Americans the same question and found that only 8% of Americans said they had read no books in the previous year.
The same Pew survey celebrated the rise of e-reading, but the sobering truth is Americans don't read as much as they used to. It is semi-tragic, I guess, along with so much else in our world.
A study a few years ago said 58% of the U.S. adult population never reads another book after high school, and further stated 42% of college graduates never read another book after college.
I guess that is what our Econ 101 book did to us, right? I'm crying foul on those stats, even for folks in Rio Linda, that unbooked figure seems way too high.
The book I read recently was The American Way of Eating by Tracie McMillan. The book's "kicker" states "Undercover at Walmart, Applebee's, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table."
If only 20% of Americans didn't read a book in the past year, a minutely smaller percentage of American whites worked in farm fields. Closer to zero percent, I'd say. For that reason, McMillan's tale is worth considering.
McMillan tells the story with facts, but she also bares much of her soul and inner dialog along the journey's path.
In her introductory chapter, she writes of her experience living on a shoestring budget in New York City:
"All of this - the chore of finding food, the lack of time to do anything with it when we did, the indifference to our meals - was familiar. I grew up in a small town outside Flint. My dad sold lawn equipment for a living. My mom was gravely ill for nearly a decade. Most of my family's money went to medical bills, and I grew up eating the kind of meals you'd expect from an effectively single working dad."

TUCSON - One suspect is in custody this morning, while Tucson Police search for another in the area of Glenn and Alvernon.
At around 1:55 this morning, a police officer made a traffic stop, inside the car were two men. The passenger was not cooperating with the officer's orders and at some point got out of the vehicle.
The officer, "perceived a threat" and shot at the man, he was not hit but he did take off running south east on Alvernon. A nearby citizen heard the shot and tackled the manas he was running, he is now in custody.
During that commotion, the driver of the vehicle took off and TPD is now looking for him. That area is an active police scene right now, and the officer has been placed on administrative leave pending a full investigation.

"This recipe is legit! To stretch it out, add sliced cabbage for the last hour of cooking and stir it after a half hour. I always freeze the juices to pick out the fat and then add it back in and shred. I only do that because I don't like it slimy when I eat it for leftovers. Don't worry if you don't have Hawaiian sea salt because I honestly can't ..."
"These sort of remind me of a hybrid between a Costco chicken bake from the food court and a pot pie. I didn't have any croutons so I used panko crumbs with bacon salt. I think with my next batch I'll add some peas to the mixture. I will definitely try this with left over smoked salmon and dill."
"Major crowd pleaser. No one can quite figure out what is in the middle and they are always shocked when I tell them a marshmallow. Make sure they crescent rolls are super cold because the warmth from your hands can make them pretty slippery and hard to fold up."
"How could something so easy taste so good? I used white sticky rice instead of brown rice, peas and carrots instead of broccoli, doubled the garlic, and I seasoned the chicken with peppered bacon salt. Savory and rich!"

1859 - 1925
Etienne-Maurice-Firmin Bouisset studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and went into portraiture, specializing in children; he even designed murals for children's rooms. He also became proficient in graphic arts as book illustrator, lithographer and designer of calendars.
His design for CHOCOLAT MENIER became one of the most appealing images ever associated with a company. It went through many printings in several languages, and remained the company's symbol for decades. It deserves it--it's an eloquent masterpiece of poster design.

Presentation in NYC, August 10
Here are some of the details of the lecture.
Title: Spoken by the Prophets: How Interpretation of Jewish Scripture Created the Character of Jesus.
Topic: Hawkins will discuss the conflict between historical Jesus scholarship versus the use of literary criticism and how a better, more probable explanation can be given for the existence of the legend of Jesus. Offering a new interpretation of the Gospels, Hawkins will explain how the Gospels are not representations of a unique form of Greco-Judaic biography that came about sui generis; instead, the Gospels better express the genre of the Jewish Fiction novel. Hawkins will show this by presenting cases in the Gospel narratives where literary allusions take place not only between the Gospels and the Old Testament, but between the Gospels and Greco-Roman literature. The question of 'why' fictions were written, 'where' the character of Jesus fits in, and 'why' this genre strains the case for a historical Jesus will all be discussed.

You Can't Do Business in India
Written by Ricky AhujaFebruary 5, 2014 # 12:46 pm # Marketing Insights, Specials # 23 Comments
Challenges of Doing Business in India
India is a country intent on carving a place for itself in the global market. Economically, there's no question that India is on the rise. In fact, it is thought that by 2050, India will be the world's largest economy, giving rise to tremendous business opportunities. However, according to the World Bank's 2012 report "Doing Business," India ranked a disheartening 132nd in terms of ease of conducting business. Among the reasons for this are issues of culture, language, and time. Understanding these is crucial to embarking on a business venture there.
Breaking the Cultural Barrier
To begin with, Indian culture is unlike any other. It is a society with deep roots in a caste system. In terms of doing business, it means that Westerners, who may be used to more informal relationships with colleagues and supervisors, may be in for an eye-opening surprise. They won't see, nor should they expect, a low-level employee engaged in a casual chat over a chai latte with a member of the management team.
Breaking Through the Language Barrier
Secondly, communication is an important part of all business relationships. In India, language can also pose a whole other set of challenges. India officially has 22 languages and over 4000 dialects. Though English is widely spoken in India, it's a heavily accented English with numerous variances in dialects and connotations. Communicating ideas from Hindi, for example, to English may not work perfectly and misunderstandings can arise.
Differences in Body Language
Non-verbal communication also plays a large role in business dealings. Unfortunately, people tend to evaluate the body language of others based upon their own cultural references. This is a mistake, as many cultures have body language that conveys messages exclusive to them. India is no exception. For example, Indians have a head gesture that is a cross between a nod and a roll. To them, it signifies an acknowledgement or affirmative response. However, it could easily be misinterpreted as a negative response. It is therefore always wise to clarify the intention before making assumptions.
India Time versus Western Time
Finally, time is a relative concept in India. Western companies, used to strict adherence to deadlines may find it difficult to cope with constant delays. Time is cyclical in India, not linear. That means that it is very difficult to adhere to a specific time for any one event, because other events occur along the way. Rather than completing one task before moving on to the next, Indians may be engaged in several tasks at once, each being completed in due course.
Indian society can be difficult to navigate from a business standpoint. However, for those budding enterprisers willing to invest a little time and effort in some cultural awareness training, it can be highly rewarding. What about you? what's been your experience?
There are twenty-three comments. Join the discussion.

You've forgotten these unique features of doing business with Indian companies:
– the seemingly dozens of religious festivals in extraordinarily obscure and remote locations per year one's business contacts seem to be obliged to attend;
– the unpredictable nature of electricity supply causing interruptions to communications (especially as deadlines near);
– the unpredictable weather which seems to target one's business contacts' location with localised flooding etc. (especially as deadlines near);
– the innumerable medical emergencies which afflict one's business contacts' relatives requiring their lengthy attendance (especially as deadlines near);
– the perfidious nature and general unreliability of the banking system.-
Alphonso – well thought out for sure. I was born there and still have difficulty with many of these – but if one can learn to over come these – a great opportunity to be had.

I am doing my business in india only.. I have faced all the factor mention here..but there are ways to over come the problems..India is the best market place i still believe.
Vinay – I agree with you 100%, this is why we opened up a local Indian office. Doesn't change the fact that many of these points are still present.

Just dont ask bill waggoner what he thinks about Indians.
I bet you are correct Ricky I bet Peter is not Peter as you are probably not Ricky. LOL. I believe there are many opportunities in India. There are bad seeds in any industry and when we work with the right companies in India we have successful relationships and some are continued today.
Ahh but I am formally a "Ricky" at least that's what it says on my business cards.

LOL..Reminds me of sour grapes story !Every country has barriers to do business !Try doing business in Russia ,Africa or Eastern Europe.You'll know.India is a mini continent by itself with over 28 states and each of them is unique with different language ,culture and business environment !Some states may be less business friendly
You should have checked why Microsoft,IBM and over 300 fortune 500 companies are happy doing business in India pumping billions of dollars for expansion !
Mike recently posted..Redbox Instant by Verizon-Start Your Free Trial Today !-
Thanks Pace.
Mike – that article is to give the non-Indians an idea of what it is like to do business there. If a business can work with/around those obstacles – there is no market like it.
We just opened an office there and I am from there – so no sour grapes here at all! That has been our main area of growth for the last 3 years running.
Ricky Ahuja recently posted..6 Takeaways From Affiliate Summit West 2014
India is very unique in many ways and that's what makes it a great country. Anyone can learn a lot from one visit in India with its diverse culture and customs. The holidays, religious customs and "body language" play an important role in business. I have been fortunate to have worked in over 50 countries. Every country has its nuances. India has many and one must learn and understand them fully and perhaps talk to a person from India who can guide them. The movie "Outsourced" can be worth watching for someone who has never been to India.
Deepak recently posted..Top 10 Tips to Improve Ecommerce Strategy -
So true.
I am living in Dubai, so I can tell you by experience one have to stay open minded and learn to understand and even appreciate different culture and behavior. Once you do, without giving up your core business principles, India and their native inhabitants are a wonderful group of humans to work with. -
Great article. I actually read this and was giggling to myself. We opened up shop here in Bombay in 2012. Been here for two years and I have experienced everything you have said. When you are Indian, you become "ok" with certain things and they also become a part of your every day life. I was born and raised in the states with good exposure to the Indian culture, however it still took me a while to get used to some of the difficulties. Having said that, I wish I would have moved my development business here 5-10 years ago, I would probably be double the size. Once you figure it out and get used to it, things work very well, its the best Market place out there! Here is 1 item that I think could be added to some of the great points you made Ricky.
Understanding that Yes doesn't always mean yes – You have to be very specific when dealing with indian employees. It took me a while to understand that saying yes is sometimes a matter of respect for employees. You can give them a task and they will say yes and walk away completely confused with the task. It is very important for employees to know that its ok to "not know" and they should ask questions. Lots of questions go unanswered because they are scared to say "I dont know" as a matter of respect and cause most of us indians think we know everything
Thanks guys. Just saw this movie on Netflix last night – Office Tiger, great movie. Having said all this – there is quite no place like it – I love my India

What i have realized, You may make a lot of money in India IF
1. You are working for Government
2. You are a politician
3. You are a real estate investor and crook
4. You are government supplier
5. You sell education
6. You sell premium clothings
7. You sell Gold
8. You outsource ( Quality BPO/ Software Vendor)
9. You scam (anyhow)I dont see a fair business environment in India. Nor i see people having very good attitude towards work. Everything is just casual.
I sill feel India is full of opportunities … with such a large population … think about turnover… but one should right product.
Misheeta Malik recently posted..What Is Advertising ? -
Every country has diversification be it India or America. If you are from a remote country you have to learn about it.
Just partner up with a right guy who can understand you as well the Indian culture. I bet it would be pretty easy.
I think that nowadays it is not difficult to do business in Indian markets. They are lot of ways and many opportunities to start a business. But the post is also good that reveals some truth facts about the business in India.

The Facts about Diabetes
20.8 million people in the United States have diabetes. Of that number, half are unaware they have diabetes.
- There are over 250,000 Kentuckians with diabetes. Diabetes is three times more prevalent here than in any other state in our nation.
- Although there is no cure for diabetes, there is overwhelming evidence that early detection, treatment and rigorous attention to self-care facilitated by diabetes education, can significantly reduce the complications related to diabetes.
Could You Have Diabetes and Not Know It?
Take the test. Know your score.
Take this test to see if you are at risk for having diabetes. Diabetes is more common in African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. If you are a member of one of these ethnic groups, you need to pay special attention to this test.
Write in the points next to each statement that is true for you. If a statement is not true, put a zero. Then add your total score.
Scoring 7 or more points: You are at high risk for having diabetes. Only your health care provider can check to see if you have diabetes. See yours soon and find out for sure.
Scoring 3-7 points: You are probably at low risk for having diabetes now. But don't just forget about it. Keep your risk low by losing weight if you are overweight, being active most days and eating low-fat meals that are high in fruits and vegetables and whole grain foods.
Diabetes Facts You Should Know
Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to blindness, heart disease, strokes, kidney failure and loss of a limb.
You are at greater risk for diabetes if:
- You are age 45 and older
- You are overweight
- You have high blood pressure
- You have a family history of diabetes
For more information, call 1-800-Diabetes (342-2383) or visit our Website at www.diabetes.org
At-Risk Weight Chart
Height (feet and inches without shoes) Weight (in pounds without clothing)
If you weigh the same as or more than the amount listed for your height, you may be at risk for diabetes.
Baptist Health Corbin: Leading the Way in Diabetes Education and Management
The goal of Baptist Health Corbin's Diabetes Smart program is to teach patients WHY and HOW they need to care for their diabetes. The program includes a health risk assessment, as well as classes on nutritional guidelines. Other information covered includes:
- meal planning;
- grocery shopping;
- eating out;
- exercise and activity plans;
- coping with diabetes;
- review of complications;
- home monitoring of blood sugars; and
- a review of medications.
We encourage family members to come and be part of the diabetes education experience.
Diabetes Smart classes are offered in two sessions. Except Saturday classes that are offered quarterly. All classes take place at Baptist Family Fitness located on Cumberland Parkway (US 25W).
We are an American Diabetes Association approved class.
For more information concerning Diabetes Smart, contact Linda J. Mills, RN at 523-8549.
Baptist Health Corbin also offers a Diabetes Support Group to provide emotional support for individuals and families coping with diabetes. For more information call (606)523-8549. Meets on the second Monday each month at Baptist Health Family Fitness at 7:00 p.m

let's face it, the highly religious, the ones we here have the biggest problem with, is the base of the Republican Party. given this, news of its imminent demise should thrill most Atheists. and make no mistake, barring a gargantuan shift in policies and rhetoric, they are absolutely on the path towards extinction.
it's common knowledge that the GOP is an old, white party. while not an absolute, that is an accurate enough description of the Republican Party today. two trends to keep in mind here. one, old people tend to die at a faster rate than young people. two, white people are shrinking as a percentage of the electorate. they are running out of supporters, and it's happening quicker than many thought.
take yesterday's election. President Obama won over 90% of the black vote and 70% of the latino and asian vote. Romney did well with seniors and whites overall. meanwhile, the country is getting browner. the GOP may end up becoming a whites only club, a nativist and pale collection of isolationists who choose to ignore the changing demographics of the country. worse, they may choose to keep it this way. if they choose this path, their extinction is all but guaranteed. their option would be to abandon their social issues, immigration policies, and economic austery programs and to open up their tent through real policy change.
anyone wanna bet which way they go?
for Atheists, either way is a win. if the GOP becomes irrelevant then the power of the religious right goes with it. if they truly make changes to make more people inclusive and begin to part with their religious base Atheists will celebrate. yesterday's election is better for Atheists than most people would think.
Susan - you raise some excellent points. I never called him a moron, however having a college degree does not guarantee you are smart. George Bush graduated from Yale and Harvard Business School.
I take back my comments on the job front, and perhaps can't deliver a "coherent thought" went too far - however his debate performance shows he is not as strong without a teleprompter. I do not hate him, however I am obviously not a fan. He ran an especially devisive and nasty campaign that did not focus on the real issues out there. I am going through the seven step recovery process. Must still be in the anger phase, I apologize.
I do sincerely hope he can solve some of the pressing problems that he and the country faces - weak economy, exploding deficit, real wars like Afghanistan, Middle East (Egypt, Libya Iran, Syria, Iran), China, terrorism, etc.
and THAT is why i love Atheists. Jim, you obviously have a different political bent to you, which is somewhat surprising as a non believer, but fine. but most importantly, when called on some of your misrepresentations you ADMITTED IT. a religious person would never do this. they'd dig in deeper.
i too hope for those things. the problems we have now are much less than the problems of 4 years ago. he was competent and level then, and i expect he can be so now. let's hope we have a truly great President on our hands. some historic things happened during the first term. if the best is yet to come our country will be better off for it.
Matthew - why must I automatically subscribe to a bigger government philosophy ? I truly fear the consequences of the government promising more than it can deliver. I fear the totalitarian response it could generate down the road. Look at Greece - they have 25% unemployment, 50+ percent unemployment among the young people, anarchy in the streets, and clearly not a home to new medicines, or new products that can improve human condition. I also fear the spread of Islamic fundamentalism that only America seems to have the resources and will to confront.
I think America is an exceptional country, not the only exceptional country, but one that stands out in human history. We have made much progress in this country since our founding, with regard to human rights. We take too much for granted in this country, which is also something that concerns me. Thank YOU for listening and for allowing me to put forth some different points of view.
"Matthew - why must I automatically subscribe to a bigger government philosophy ?"
you mustn't. it's an over generalization about Atheists based on social issues. for some people political affiliation has little to do with religion, obviously. i suppose we should consider that a good thing.
still, with today's Republican Party i would have a hard time squaring the circle with the religious element inherent in their electorate, even if i agreed with their economic views. they've gone off the rails and need to be set back on track. until they do i will never vote for a republican politician.
It depends on what you mean by big government. The Republicans claim they want smaller government all the while wanting government to butt their nose in peoples personal lives.
Jim, You have some points about Obama's delivery. Obama does NOT have charisma like, say, Clinton. Now Bush really did come off as ... sooooo unintelligent. Every time he opened his mouth MY mouth dropped open in disbelief. So I like the comparison in your revision of your comment.
But Obama comes off as very intelligent to me. He is just too timid. I wonder if he's too fearful of making a mistake. He has the appearance of someone who is very passionate about his responsibilities and the weight of them, not of someone just trying to pad the pockets of himself and his cronies.
Now can you tell me more about this? ->
He ran an especially devisive and nasty campaign ...
How so?
Susan - you said "He has the appearance of someone who is very passionate about his responsibilities and the weight of them,not of someone just trying to pad the pockets of himself and his cronies". You must not have followed who most of the 'green energy' subsidies went to, often to those who were big fund raisers. But that is typical of our political system, not that specific to Obama.
As to the devisive and nasty campaign. Obama and his proxies, did not run on his record - stimulus, Obamacare, green energy. He did not really offer specifics on his plan for the future (other than raise taxes on "millionares" - actually he has redefined millionaires as anyone making over $200,000 as an individual). Instead he ran 100s of millions of dollars of ads attacking Romney, saying he was just a rich and greedy guy who didn't pay his taxes (harry reid lies), closed companies that cost a woman her life, etc. They said their strategy was going to be "Kill Romney", and they were right about that. The devisive part was the constant class warfare. Looking back I do not ever remember a candidate running on class the way he did (I have been watching since the Nixon/Kennedy election). He ran as a community organizer. The country is much more divided than under Bush.
P.S. Bush was also careful about everything he said. He rarely made a blunder. You must watch a lot of Saturday Night Live :) Biden puts his foot in his mouth multiple times more than Bush ever did.
I guess we just see the world through different color lenses.
He was the Head of the Harvard Law Review? I think that qualifies as smart. lol. Just because he needs a teleprompter doesn't mean he can't deliver a coherent thought! Maybe he's just not a good speaker?
I don't know about the Jeremiah Wright thing. I just think he's playing the game.
I have heard him speak when he was a Senator. The man does NOT need a teleprompter. Ronald Regan was considered a great orator and he used a teleprompter as well. It is just easier. I guess Jim always delivers speeches off the top of his head and never uses notes.
I can understand playing a game by going to church but, Jeremiah Wright!?
Wright was good practice to put up with the loonies in Congress. i'd take listening to Wright over listening to Issa, Imhoffe, Cantor, Bachman, Ryan, Paul, .......and so on.
And how much money are you offering to donate to the charity of Obama's choice in exchange for his college grades, Donald?
Jim, so what?
A very politically active lawyer once told me the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) doesn't test intelligence; it tests compulsiveness. Having taken both the Graduate Record Exam and the LSAT, and done well and poorly respectively, I believed him.
We haven't seen Obama's grades, you might be right but I doubt it.
He uses a teleprompter, and I venture to guess you've done little or no high stakes public speaking.
Political success requires community organizing skills.
