Hi everyone,
I know that when rooting rose cuttings, the most important thing is to get the roots to grow, not the leaves. What happens though when you have roots, but the plant is not putting out any new shoots? Some of them have been potted for around a month, still in plastic, but not making any new leaves. Is there anything special that I should be doing to induce new growth, or does it not matter for a while?? Maude |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am in the same situation sometimes ... roots and no leaves for what seems like forever. I leave the cuttings alone until the leaves start to form. Sometimes it doesn't take long, sometimes it never happens ... it's hard to tell. Most of the time, tho, leaves form, the plant grows, and you have a new rose for your garden. Patience is the most important aspect of propagation. |

Same problem here- a few roots, then wait and wait until the cutting eventually turns black. I suspect it has to do with inadequate energy stored in the cutting but that's just a guess. |
I have considered that the cuttings might not have adequate energy since the ones I am talking about have shed their original leaves. I'm thinking that if I put my cuttings outside in full sun, the brighter light will force them to put out new shoots. I mean, if they already have roots, then maybe they can take full sun or at least something much brighter than my window. Maude |
I do all my cuttings outside in full sun. It does take a long time for them to start to grow once they have roots. You have to be patient. |
You don't keep them in the bags do you when they are outside. I imagine that would cook them, right?? maude |

It's been a while since I posted anything on our forum. My three sites have not generated much business, and seem to be costing me more to keep them going than I'm getting in return. I do wish Stores Online had been honest enough with us to tell us how expensive this whole endeavor would be.
I have a new problem that's popped up and I hope someone can tell me how to handle it. I received an overdraft notice on my business checking account yesterday. I went to the bank to straighten it out today, and learned that a company calling itself "Global Stl Global Pay" has been withdrawing from my account - first $5.00, then several $30.00 charges, and lastly, $109.00. I have no recollection of doing any business with them, and certainly didn't authorize the withdrawals. I have American Express and use ECI for my transactions. ECI bills me monthly. I looked up Global Stl Global Pay on the Rip-Off Report and there were several complaints about them I just wondered if any of you had had any dealings with them, and if so, how you handled it. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

When a game carries the label "experimental" it can potentially doom itself in sales.
Players seem to generally gravitate towards the familiar, but experimental games break boundaries and explore what games can accomplish as an art form. So where does this place Rez? Is it an arthouse game that belongs in the MOMA? Or is it an overlooked gem that challenged commercial expectations with grace and gall?
For those unfamiliar with the game, Rez is a rail-shooter that first debuted on Dreamcast. The player assumes the role of a computer hacker, battling viruses and firewalls in a very surreal Tron-like world. The hacker's main goal is to convince an all powerful AI named Eden not to kill itself. The story is only mentioned on the back of the case, and in-game, the player is presented with strange Kubrickian images that only hint at the plot. Despite all the ambiguous imagery and conceptual theories, the game is very simple.
Gameplay is not unlike Star Fox: the player moves forward on-rails, aiming a cross-hair and shooting down opposing forces. The game's music notably correlates with the shooting, creating a very visceral and primal connection between the player and the game. While the story and concepts can certainly be considered high art, the game itself is easily accessible to anyone that can aim and push a button.
Rez may not break any boundaries with gameplay, but what the game flaunts brilliantly is that it's an arcade game in disguise as modern art.

The Poetry Center recently sat down with Iván J. Orellana, third place winner of the 2013 Corrido Contest. Iván had great insight into the Corrido Contest process, from entering the contest, to practicing for the performance, to performing at the Concert and Awards Ceremony. Below is our Q&A with him. The deadline for this year's Corrido Contest is December 2nd at 5 p.m. For more details and to submit, please visit our website.
Q: In your wonderful corrido, "La Gloria," you write from the perspective of a man who leaves his pueblo, and his wife and children, in search of a better life in the United States. Can you talk more about how you inhabited the voice of this narrator?
A: Well, first of all, I thank God I have not been through that experience in my life, but a person I admire, which is my father, did years ago. Although he did not leave a family behind, he made the dangerous journey, like many others. Another fact about this corrido is that I don't specify from which country the immigrant is coming from. I did this intentionally because the "immigrant" can be from any country, whether it's El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and the list goes on and on. To inhabit the voice of the narrator, I had to take the responsibility of a father; I had to think like one and act like one. So I made a fusion of stories my father told me and the result was "La Gloria."
Q: The ending of "La Gloria," is refreshing and a new, more realistic perspective on the "American Dream." Can you talk more about the ending?
A: Yes of course. An ending of a story, a novel, or a song, depends on the writer. In this case, I like to be a little optimistic because we know that the American Dream can result in a nightmare. The narrator made it in the corrido, and the ending can be interpreted in two ways, one; he is in the U.S. and working hard in able to bring his family, or he is returning to his town with a little money. It depends on the reader/listener where they can create their own conclusion.
Q: The Corrido Contest is about more than just winning a contest, right? It's a process! Can you talk about the steps that were involved for you, for those who may be unfamiliar with this contest?
A: Absolutely. The experience is invaluable because you have a chance to express yourself in any subject you want, and the best part with music! Well, for me, I think it was kind of funny because there were no steps; I just wrote over the cousre of three days, and I was working under pressure because this corrido was also a final for the first semester. After I turned it in, I totally forgot about it.
Q: You collaborated very closely with the musicians, who set your Corrido to music. In fact, you were one of the musicians, too! Can you talk about your collaborative experience with Alfonso?
A: Yes, I did. Well, first, it was impossible for me to write a corrido without music. So, I picked up my guitar and began composing. The corrido was monotonous, so when I met Alfonso, a great musician for which I am thankful, he put in some ideas and working with him was incredible.
Q: You did a fantastic job performing your corrido. What was it like to see your words transform into music, and then transform into a performance...by you!?
A: Thank you, and like I said before, I couldn't have written this corrido without my guitar, so I kind of had an idea of how it could be. Well, my performance, at first, I was afraid of presenting a work of mine, performed by me, and I wasn't sure how public was going to respond.
Q: Last year was rare in that all three Corrido winners were from the same high school, in this case: Rio Rico High School. Can you talk more about what it was like to share this honor with your friends?
A: I think it's a huge coincidence! I think every participant put forth a huge effort on this contest. I think it was an honor to put our school in that place and with people I already knew.
Below is Iván J. Orellana's corrido in its entirety, in both English and Spanish:
Welcome ladies and gentlemen
I am here to tell the story
Of what many people have lived through
As they tried to search for "glory"
Working with their hearts and hands
For the promise of a new land
At two in the morning
I said a prayer for my mother
For my wife and my children
I was leaving them without a father
I left them sleeping where they lay
And from my pueblo I crept away
I jumped on the northbound train
With hundreds of companions
Some of them were Mexican
And the rest from other lands
A single priority we held dear
To see everything bright and clear
A hundred pesos in my pocket
Was all I had to bring
My dreams stuffed in my backpack
And these verses that I sing
They came right from my soul
To keep me calm and whole
The ugliness I survived
I wouldn't wish it on anybody
Living through hunger and thirst
Treated like you're a nobody
In my pueblo I was my own man
King my ox, my shovel, and my land
It's time to say farewell
At my pueblo I have arrived
My wife and children
Will soon be by my side
That is my philosophy
Thank you for your company
--Translated into English by Wendy Burk
La Gloria
Sean bienvenidos señores
Al relato de esta historia
Que mucha gente ha vivido
Por querer buscar la "gloria"
Y han cambiado su maíz
Por el de un nuevo país
A las dos de la mañana
Yo pedía por mi madre
Por mi señora y mis hijos
Pues los dejaba sin padre
Dormiditos los dejé
Y del pueblo me alejé
Me subí al tren rumbo norte
Con cientos de compañeros
Uno que otro mexicano
Y los otros extranjeros
Una sola prioridad
Ver todo con claridad
Cien pesos en el bosillo
Era lo único que traiba
Los sueños en la mochila
Y estos versos los cantaba
Pues salían de mi alma
Para mantener la calma
Es feo lo que viví
No se lo deseo a nadie
Pues el hambre y la sed
Sólo eres un don nadie
En mi pueblo yo era la rey
De mi pala y de mi buey
Ya con esto me despido
Pues al pueblo he llegado
Mi señora y mis hijos
Pronto estarán a mi lado
Ésa es mi filosofía
Gracias por su compañía

W57 Another Monotonous Blog
November 23, 2011 in World 057 News, World News, Worlds 51-60 News
Well folks its that time of the week again, and I am ready to present you with another blog for your reading pleasure. While we have all been eagerly awaiting a rim blog.
I am saddened to say I can not provide that at this time, due to not having as much participation in the rim sections as I would like. Now I could have chose a small section but that wouldn't paint the clear image of the rim and would only center on a few. so for this week, I took a look at a few of the different players on the world who are in the top ranking for points and some ranked just for od.
Player Review
This Top player of happy has 282 villages with an average build of 9289, and with a total of 2619508 points, he has stormed the lead for the rank 1 position by 100k points. He seems to have nobled a few barbs, but most of his growth seems to be from the. It would appear that the are bashers from him and Pa's but they also seem to be gifting him villa's to internally noble.. He has a decent villa average, which maximizes his troop yield. With his solid lead and even better growth he seems to have rank 1 for the time being and a while in the future. Located in the north west core region.
Currently ranked 2, It appears there internals have dried up, and there growth has stunted. In a last ditch effort to hold rank 1 they raised their villa build it seems, this will lower there troop build, will be interesting how this account fairs in the future. Being on the back side of infamy there growth seems slow due to no major wars. Infamy is at war with ichj which is near them, but they don't seem to have been able to noble as many of them as others in the tribe. We will see if they can turn the account around and reclaim their top spot or at least hold the top 5 positioning. Located in the south east core region. Has the top spot for oda and is in the top 4 for odt. It would make sense that they received a large amount of there oda from clearing the villa and barbs they internally ate. They have 256 villages, at 9,833 points on average with a total of 2,517,127 points. They are the highest ranked member in there tribe of infamy.
lion lio
It would appear they have internalled irish boys account from infamy. They seem to be active in fighting ichj and fire. This account located south of the core is pretty spread apart and seems to have multiple fronts. Has villages at varying sizes both large and small so hard too tell what there average build is and if they have made it yet. If not then they should be doing a little more growing in the near future. He has 233 villa's with an average of 9,473 and a grand total of 2,207,139 points, representing the tribe of infamy.
Has recently raised in ranks, with a decent amount of barb nobling and with the internalization of the -=X=- account. They seems to have a decent average villa build that will supply them with plenty of farm space for nukes and defense. He is a member of happy and has 216 villages with the point average of 9455 and a total size of 2,042,366.
The majority of their villages seem to be built at the level desired. The account was active seems to be nobbling villages from tribeless players at the current time. The account Is located east of the core but not quite in the rim area. With 207 villages, an average of 9,370 points this is the top account of 4play.
His average village build is 9,501 points, he has 179 villages at a total of 1,700,724 points, in the tribe of Ill He is there leader, who has risen up sevral times to lead his tribe to victory in war. He is ranked 1 in oda and odt as well as being ranked 3 in odd. Currently at war with vodka, he is the duke of Ill.
Has recently lost some villa's to ichj in there tribes current war. He also seems to have nobled a large amount of small barbs. His villa's aren't all at his build pattern so it seems if he doesn't lose any more villa's in the war he will rise up a rank or two.his average villa is 8720 points. He currently has 180 villages, at 1,569,685 points. He is Located in the eastern core. He is in the top 3 on opponents defeated by attacker.
An active account located on the Rim. Awards are hidden, as well as amount of farming per day, but from the sounds of things this account farms a lot, and is constantly growing. Positioned on the rim it would seem a large account in that area would have ample growth room, and if they keep up the nobling they should rise up a few ranks. Located on the north central rim.
A end of War or is it?
Epic Vs {I} : It would seem that Epic has disbanded and infection is the winner of this war. too replace this war Infection has now declared on KACB who have recruited members of Epic.
Else where in the world
Ill Vs Vodka : It would seem that Ill Is the winner in this tribe as vodka has disbanded and a few of them joined 4play. will Ill follow the lead of {I} and declare on the tribe that recruited refugees? only time will tell.
Next I have a few interviews from people you maye expect and may not expect.
Too Start With Here is a interview from the w57 forum mod, the one and the only humbletree, who spammed our interview like we all spam his forums.
To finish our interviews here is a few words from the duke of fire.
While this concludes this blog, I hope to bring the next one out very soon. it will either be a rim blog depending on participation. Or It may Be A in-depth War Analysis. Tune In next time for the next exciting Blog.

9th Annual BMRP Investigator Meeting - Abstract
Detection of Campylobacter Concisus in Adult Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Controls
Li Zhang1,a, Stephen Riordan2, Michael Grimm3 and Hazel Mitchell1
1The School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences, University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia); 2Gastrointestinal and Liver Unit, The Prince of Wales Hospital and Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia); 3St George Clinical School, University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia)
Previously, we detected a significantly higher prevalence of Campylobacter concisus in intestinal biopsies of children with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease (CD) as compared with the controls. In the current study, we have examined the presence of C. concisus in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and controls.
Intestinal biopsies were collected from 15 patients with CD, 6 patients with Ulcerative colitis (UC) and 31 controls. Four biopsies (ileum, caecum, descending colon and rectum) were collected from each individual and used for DNA extraction and detection of C. concisus by PCR. An additional biopsy collected from the caecum was used for cultivation of Campylobacter species.
A significantly higher prevalence of C. concisus was detected in intestinal biopsies from patients with both newly diagnosed CD (33%) and relapsed CD (43%) as compared to controls (16%) (p<0.05). The prevalence of C. concisus in biopsies from patients with UC (30%) was not significantly different from that of the controls (p>0.05).

The Walking Dead is entering a strange, dangerous, and potentially awesome new era. After spending seven episodes on a go-nowhere search for an angelically boring little girl, the midseason finale back in November ended with Rick Grimes cathartically putting a big old bullet in Sophia's pretty little head. That's reason enough to be excited. But there's a big change behind the scenes of Walking Dead, too. We've finally caught up to the moment that made headlines last summer: the departure of Walking Dead developer, showrunner, and chief creative force Frank Darabont. Pause to imagine the executives at AMC firing a metaphorical bullet into Frank Darabont's metaphorical zombie head.
To be fair, it's unclear why Darabont left. It's equally unclear if this season's brutally slow pace was due an artistic miscalculation by the showrunner or a stingy budget from cost-conscious AMC. (Support for theory #1: Darabont directed the overlong The Green Mile and The Majestic. Support for theory #2: Darabont apparently wanted to make one episode into a total-warfare depiction of the zombie apocalypse, and instead the characters spent seven episodes at Hershel Greene's Cut-Rate Prefabricated Farm Set.)
But we're officially in the post-Darabont era now. Walking Dead's new showrunner is Glen Mazzara, who worked on The Shield and Life (yay!), but also Crash and Hawthorne (meh!) And in a fascinating interview with Vulture, Mazzara addresses all the major criticisms of The Walking Dead, and seems focused on fixing the show. He wants to make the show feel "less safe, more dangerous, more in your face." He's worried that the show was becoming "a little insular...a very small cast of characters on just a farm," and he pointedly wants to use the back half of season 2 to widen the show's world. He's also set on making the show feel more cinematic, and he talks about bringing a "seventies style of filmmaking" into the show's aesthetic. Perhaps most pointedly, Mazzara gently notes that Darabont had a sensibility better suited to features than long-form television: "Just wait for it, just wait for it, then you'll be satisfied."
Of course, there was a time not so long ago when a showrunner named Tim Kring was giving lots of erudite interviews explaining his totally logical master plan for fixing Heroes. But to paraphrase an old John McCain quote, the fundamentals of Walking Dead are strong. The status quo could feasibly change at any time. (If Mazzara wanted to, he could bring in a herd of zombies to kill off all the lame characters.) The show is based on an incredible series of graphic novels -- comics that are positively filled with characters and story arcs that are vastly more interesting than anything the TV show has ever done. Walking Dead has proven that it can do all sorts of different tones: Tense horror, gory action, dark comedy, neo-western American myth.
So I'm optimistic about the show, even though last night's episode of Walking Dead seemed to represent a major step back from the thrilling midseason finale. The hour kicked off exactly where we left off in November. Rick lowered his gun and looked down at Sophia's zombie-corpse. One of Hershel's random children ran over and cried for her zombie mother, who promptly staged a Carrie and turned out to not be properly dead. Fortunately, T-Dog was around to kick the zombie-mama in the face, which is I believe the most T-Dog has contributed to the show all season. (Andrea found a creative use for a scythe, earning herself this week's Zombie Kill of the Week by default.)
It was an interesting and unexpected way to kick off the episode. Unfortunately, starting immediately after the zombie massacre meant that this was yet another episode in which everybody constantly talked about Sophia.
NEXT: Lori tries to be useful, and is greeted by sad trombones.

The young composer is likely to do a national Kolaveri tour soon
Kolaveri's the rage. It's driven the world into a frenzy —spawning a new form of expression as well as inspiring flash mobs, different versions across languages, remixes and parodies around the world. Now, fans of the song have a lot more to look forward to.
Composer Anirudh is planning on touring the country soon and give audiences a taste of some live Kolaveri. Also in the pipeline is a performance at the IPL 2012 inauguration. A source close to Anirudh says that he has been approached to do a multicity tour with different artists. "For the concert, there are plans to rope in Arjun, who did the R 'n' B remix of the song, as well as singer Sonu Nigam's son Nevaan, who did the 'kiddie version'. Both versions of the video have been popular online too. So, it felt like a good plan to include them," says the source.
While the participation of Dhanush, the hero of 3 which features Kolaveri di.., is expected, the source adds that decisions including the dates of the tour will be confirmed only in tune with the actor-singer's schedule.
Talking about the tour, Anirudh says, "Yes, there is a plan to put together a Kolaveri tour and a performance at the inauguration of this year's IPL. But it's all still in a proposal stage and most of the details including the dates and venues are yet to be finalized."
While the question remains as to what the composer and his team of musicians can do on a live stage with such a popular song, Anirudh says that he has really not even begun thinking what to do with the concert. "We'll begin working on that as soon as everything is confirmed."

NEW YORK — American Express reported an 11 percent rise in fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday, as consumers spent more with the company's namesake credit cards. However, it also said it plans to cut thousands of jobs this year.
American Express said Wednesday it earned $1.45 billion, or $1.39 per share. That compares with a profit of $1.31 billion, or $1.21 a share, in the same period a year ago.
It said it saw a 6 percent rise in card spending compared to a year ago. The company's profits were also helped by a one-time $453 million after-tax gain from the sale of its stake in Concur Technologies, a travel and business expense site.
Revenue net of interest expense was $9.11 billion, compared with $8.55 billion a year ago.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected American Express to earn $1.38 a share on $8.52 billion in revenue.
For the full year, American Express earned $5.89 billion, or $5.56 per share, up from $5.36 billion, or $4.88 per share, a year ago.
American Express also announced it was taking a one-time $313 million restructuring charge. A company representative said the charge is tied to company plans to cut more than 4,000 jobs this year, or about 6 percent of American Express' workforce.
Shares of American Express fell $1.77, or 2 percent, to $85.90 in after-market trading following the release of the earnings report.

Greetings friends and music lovers-
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. I have had a bunch of fun seeing some great shows, playing some myself, and cruising youtube for today's christmas music tour below. Happy holidays to all of you. I hope you have much to celebrate. Here's this month's index-
The Gift of Music in the Movies-
Christmas Surf and Twang-
My Turn To Play-
Garden Pic-
I have seen some fun music themed movies lately that would make for some great holiday fun. Some of these are available to buy, I'm sure, but you could also make a date with netflix and one or several good friends. How about a nice card inviting folks to your house (or inviting yourself to someone's house who has a subscription)? Provide or pot-luck some awesome snacks and favorite beverages, and watch a movie together. This type of an invite could stretch the holiday season into January (or beyond) and provide some quality time with loved ones after the hectic time has passed. Here is a list of cool music movies that I recommend, with links to their trailers.
Calvin and I recently saw a movie written and produced by Tom Hanks called That Thing You Do. It's about a band that goes from winning the high school talent competition to becoming rock stars in a very short time. The music is excellent, and the actors themselves actually took up their instruments for the movie. They got pretty good and the settings and story are an excellent representation of the early sixties when the story takes place. Lots of well thought out details and great character development. Here is the scene when the band first hears their song on the radio, and they all congregate at the appliance store where the drummer works for his dad. It is absolutely jubilant. The whole movie has this much charm, fun and great music.
When I was in Ann Arbor, Michigan last September, My friend Judi took me to see a movie that she absolutely loved. A true story called Searching For Sugar Man, is about a Detroit musician called Rodriguez, who made a record in the early 70's. His songs, singing and playing were great, but for whatever collection of reasons, it didn't sell well in the US. Rodriguez went back to doing general labor type work and set aside his ambition to be a singer. Meanwhile, a bootleg version of his record ended up playing a central role in the apartheid movement amongst young white South Africans who embraced it as the soundtrack of their ambitions for freedom. Despite rumors that Rodriguez had committed suicide, two South African fans were able to track him down and bring him to their country to play for tens of thousands in packed houses. I am getting choked up just writing about this because it is so powerfully portrayed. This guy had great songs and was a good singer as well, but he was and remained incredibly humble, giving most of the money he made from the concerts to family and friends. If you would like to feel a real connection with the best in humanity, this movie will take you there. Believe me, it is definitely worth seeing.
Another movie centered around music is Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges. This one is both sweet and a bit melancholy. The music and the acting are great, and the story is good and pretty true to life even though it is fictional. Jeff plays a country singer who battles the demons of alcohol and the wear of life on the road. It has many charming moments and a hopeful ending. I enjoyed it. Jeff put a band together and made an album of the songs. I saw them on the Colbert Report last year. Fun interview and good music.
This month I am taking you on a youtube tour of some rocking christmas music. I found a lot of cool stuff while I was looking for something seasonal for this newsletter, and I will be posting some of the other songs on my fb music page this week, so check there for some Ray Charles, Louie Armstrong, and other fun. Here are a few selections to get you into the twangy christmas spirit. Let's start with a classic Elvis tune- Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me (forgive the tacky slide show). This next one popped up in the youtube suggestions after a bunch of looking. Del Reeves Twistin Santa Clause That's a slippery surfin groove for ya. Love it. That led Calvin to recommend this one from Buck Owens- Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy (and Daddy Looked a Lot Like Him). I found some more recent stuff including this excellent number from one of my favorite country bands in the 90s- BR549. You may recognize their name as the phone number for Junior Samples Used Car Dealer on Hee Haw. These guys really inspired me when they were playing regularly. I saw them at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Here they are playing Daddy's Drinkin' Up Our Christmas with the great Marty Stuart sittin' in on a mando-telecaster. I found Ruthie and the Wranglers on Myspace (haha remember that?) years ago, and then kinda forgot about them. I was about to think I had enough links to work with, when on a whim, I decided to try listening to one more. I was intrigued by the name- It'll Be a Rockin' Christmas This Year. Low and behold, it turned out to be a great tune. I need to dig up more from Ruthie. Wonder what she's doing these days.
Speaking of great country twang from some more recent bands, I'd like to give a shout out to my friends The Sweetback Sisters, who have a new Christmas record out this year. I first heard about them from an old time musician friend. When they played for the Fiddle and Bow Music society in Winston a few years back, they ended up needing a bass player at the last minute, since their guy had accidently double booked himself. Another friend sent them to Calvin, and they spent that afternoon at our house running all the tunes for the show, which he aced. They are fronted by two excellent singers who can, among other things, nail some Davis Sisters harmony. I realized I had heard them before when they got third place in the Talented Twenty Somethings competition on A Prairie Home Companion (PRI). They have since travelled the world and have become a super excellent band. Check out their website www.thesweetbacksisters.com where you'll find a great video with their rendition of Santa Clause Is Coming To Town. They have been doing shows for the last three years that they call their Country Christmas Singalong Extravaganza, and now they have a CD of the same name. I highly recommend it.
As I said earlier, I've had the opportunity to hear some great music lately, and to participate in some as well. I went down to Charlotte with a bunch of friends for a solo show from Keb Mo. If you haven't had the chance to see or hear him, you've been missin' out. Excellent songs, singing and playing. I have also gone out to see my friends Tin Can Alley, who play old school r&b and soul music regularly around the triad area. It is always fun to sit in and sing some of that kind of material. Keep your eye out for them. Calvin plays bass, they all three sing, and the drum kit includes a galvanized trash can. Calvin and I played a little show this past week for some kids who come from troubled home situations and end up residing at the Children's Home in Winston Salem. My friend Liza teaches art classes there and pulled together a nice little christmas event for them. It was probably the first time they ever heard live music. Actually, it was the second time for some of them. Cal and I played there last year as well. It was really fun and much appreciated.
I will be playing a Mystery Hillbillies trio show this Saturday at J Butler's in Lewisville. Scott Williams will be playing guitar and I will have Roger Kohrs on bass. Our rehearsal was really fun and I am looking forward to pulling out a couple of my favorite christmas songs. Roger has a baby boy named Rock, and at one of our rehearsals he had woken up from his nap and was hanging out in the playpen next to us. He was about to start fussing when I cranked up the guitar intro to the Wanda Jackson tune Let's Have a Party. He grabbed the side of the play pen and just danced through the whole thing. It was soooo freakin cute. I hope some of you will come out and dance to some rockabilly this Saturday. It's gonna be fun. We play working people's hours- 8-11. So finish up your day of shopping and come have some dinner and your favorite beverage.
I will be back at the Blue Note Grill on Thursday Jan 31st with Fj Ventre and John Worthington. That is an early show, as well. We kick off at 7. We also just booked a wedding in Feburary for some of our old Fisher's Grill fans. If you are looking for a different kind of band for your wedding or party, keep us in mind.
I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the year and that 2013 brings even more fun. Thanks, as always, for supporting live music. Michelle

Exciting news! Tomorrow, my book The Thyroid Solution Diet will hit the shelves of Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, and other bookstores. This book is a must have for anyone looking to lose weight as well as for people looking for a healthy body and elevated mood. The Thyroid Solution Diet is a science based diet focused on making your metabolism function well. This book will help people lose weight and regain control of their health and their lives!
Simple diet and exercise are often not effective. Weight gain doesn't just affect your body outside; science is now showing that weight gain perpetuates a multi-hormonal disorder that affects the ability to burn fat, fueling further weight gain and weight loss resistance. The ability to burn fat and generate heat (metabolism) is regulated by hormones in the body. When those hormones are not balanced, within a healthy range, then metabolism slows and fat deposits on the body grow. Hormones also regulate behavior; they regulate feelings of hunger as well as depression which can fuel out of control eating habits. Body fat regulation depends on a sensitive hormone balance.
Thyroid problems and weight issues go hand in hand, so it's important that both be addressed to achieve weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. After treating thousands of patients struggling with weight, I developed the diet plan presented in The Thyroid Solution Diet, which is the most successful at producing weight loss results in people with even the slowest metabolisms because of how it affects hormones. Key metabolism boosting hormones are thyroid hormone and leptin. I designed The Thyroid Solution Diet (a perfected high fiber, low-glycemic, high protein Mediterranean diet) to balance thyroid hormones and leptin levels-making your metabolism work for you. The Thyroid Solution Diet is a low-glycemic diet, reducing inflammation in the body and minimizing sugar and insulin. The book contains this innovative well balanced science-based diet in a structured and easy to follow set of meal plans that include specific food combinations at specific times of day for maximum impact on your metabolism. Furthermore, there's a large number of delicious diet recipes to make living healthy very enjoyable. No diet is complete without exercise, and the book presents an easy to follow, metabolism boosting 20/10 exercise program (30 mins of exercise a day). Overall, this book is so much more than a diet plan, it's a set of guidelines for lifestyle changes towards mind-body wellness.
As an expert in the field of thyroid hormone and metabolism and through this easy to read book I present techniques for hormonal balance recognition that may be hidden reasons for weight problems. The book includes the most advanced research on thyroid and metabolism, presented in a reader friendly manner to help people struggling with weight problems. If you are looking to lose weight and nothing seems to work- this is the diet for you! Live healthier and live happier in 2013!

The release of the Nexus 7 brought a new phone/tablet hybrid UI to Android tablets. And today, most people agree that it works well - on the 7-inch form factor, anyway. The latest leaks from the upcoming Nexus 10 suggest that Google will keep using that same hybrid UI, despite having a display that's a few inches bigger in each direction.
Lenovo has just unveiled its new X1 Hybrid laptop, which runs Windows with a twist – namely, it can boot into "Instant Media Mode," which allows the laptop to run off of a Snapdragon processor, utilizing custom software based on the Android 2.3 kernel. Ostensibly, this mode is meant for users who want to get through a long flight, or simply zone out with a variety of media, with double the battery life they'd have running Windows.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a new wireless brand Republic Wireless, a division of Bandwidth.com, announced earlier this month that it would revolutionize and shake up the mobile industry by introducing a Hybrid Calling plan that costs only $19 a month. This plan has indeed gone live today over at RepublicWireless.com, together with the first and only mobile device the company is offering (for now) - the LG Optimus.
The low-cost offering is made possible thanks to heavy reliance on Wi-Fi data - Republic Wireless devices are designed to prioritize Wi-Fi networks, and certain measures have been put in place to make sure you don't hog an unfair share of the mobile network (powered by Sprint).
The idea sounds good in theory: a device that has the comfort and usability of a laptop combined with the portability of a tablet. Lenovo's LePad was rumoured earlier this year and it has finally been unveiled together with the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid Netbook partner.
The LePad comes with a customised version of Android 2.2 (called LeOS) and runs on a 1.3 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The U1 comes with Windows 7 Home Premium and runs on a 1.2 Ghz Intel Core i5-540UM (with an i7 option).

What are the Components of Semen?
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by Mel G in More, Premature Ejaculation, Sexuality
Semen is the fluid released from the penis upon ejaculation and is made up of two things: sperm from the vas deferens and seminal fluid. Seminal fluid contains fluid from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. On average, each man's ejaculate normally releases between 50 and 500 million sperm. However, these sperm make up only about 2% to 5% of the volume of semen itself. The bulk of the semen is made up of seminal fluid.

RESCO model BS2, Other numbers, BS2AAN000112AAA, 3993VC4457 The furnace igniter clicks for a long time before lighting. I though it might be due to carbon buildup at the tip. Just a guess from cleaning a dryer igniter. I have the install manuals but no parts or service. There are no pictures of the igniter section. I could not find any info on the net about RESCO other than they are probably not in the heater business anymore. I was thinking of taking off the cover by the igniter, find the igniter tip and lightly wire brush it. I figured I should ask here before doing that just in case. |

I do $2 for the first and $1-2 each additional depending on how big they are (3-4 big bags maybe $10). But I always wait until the end when they are unloading the luggage.
What is the typical tipping rate for the Magical Express drivers? Do they get tips per bag, at the beginning of the trip (after loading the bags on the bus), or at the end, at your hotel, or both? My daughter and her friends are going to be at the Beach Club in June and we want to make sure they have the right cash for tipping.
I do $2 for the first and $1-2 each additional depending on how big they are (3-4 big bags maybe $10). But I always wait until the end when they are unloading the luggage.

I tipped the driver of our magical express bus last March, but no one else that was getting off at the same time did. Ours was a mears driver on a DME bus and I always tipped the mears drivers. Who else tips?
"I just want it to look like nothing else in the world... and it should be surrounded by a train" -Walt Disney.90 CB, 92 DI, 94 CR, 97 FWC, 99 CS, 00 CS, 02 CS, 04 POR, 05 POR, 07 POR, 08 POFQ, 09 POR, 11 POR.
We used ME for the first time our last trip. My dad tipped the guy after he unloaded our bags but I don't know how much. I'm pretty sure we were the only family on the bus that tipped.
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.-Walt Disney
Generally speaking, a tip is only expected when a personalized service is rendered, such as handling your luggage. If, on the trip from the airport to the resort, you're having DME deliver your luggage and you carry your own carry-ons into the bus with you, then the driver won't be handling any of your bags ... in such a scenario, a tip isn't necessary.
If the driver does handle any of your bags, then a tip of $1 or $2 per bag is customary.
Then again, if the driver is especially entertaining or informative, I'd also give a tip.
I live just outside Atlantic City. I'm not much of a gambler, but when people visit I'll accompany them to a casino. A friend was playing craps, I was watching. The stickman was just about the funniest guy I'd ever met. He was hilarious, and he made the time there very enjoyable. When my friend left the table, I told the stickman how much I enjoyed myself and I put a few chips on the table (you can't hand anything directly to any of the dealers). The boxman (the boss of the table) stopped everything because he wanted to make sure there wasn't anything shady going on, and to make sure I didn't drop the chips on the table by accident. I told him I tipped because I was so entertained even though I had no action on the table. The boxman laughed and said he'd never heard of anything like that before, but he understood what I meant. So yeh, I'd do the same for a driver ....

David Lammy has urged the cultural sector to become more like the BBC and the NHS in the way it engages with the general public, if it is to achieve an improved funding settlement in future budgets.
According to the culture minister, the industry must urgently become more "democratic" if it is to move away from the "crisis of legitimacy" it is currently facing and receive the funding levels it deserves.
He explained: "The BBC and the NHS are both more than the sum of their individual components. They are the embodiment of an enduring set of democratic values. We value them not just for what they do, but also what they stand for, for how they engage us and for how they respond to us.
"[Democracy] is the product of people being exposed to the arguments and their informed views taken into account. Yet far too often those bodies that represent the [cultural] sector have failed to take this to heart. And that is why we have so often failed to achieve the settlement we deserve."
Speaking at the launch of a new pamphlet by Blairite think tank Demos, Lammy said the document, Cultural Value and the Crisis of Legitimacy, put forward proposals that would be "at the heart of the changes [he wanted] to bring about as minister for culture."
The pamphlet's author John Holden said that the sector had become too focused on fulfilling the objectives of funding bodies at the expense of satisfying audiences and it was crucial that it moved away from a mentality of ticking boxes. Speaking to The Stage, he commented: "I don't see this being achieved by old-fashioned advocacy… it needs a different kind of dialogue."
Lammy said that while the changes would not mean the end of the arm's-length principle or the independence of the cultural sector, there would be "hard decisions about the relationships [of strategic bodies such as Arts Council England] with the wider sector, about the directions and levels of funding and how our strategic bodies themselves should look."
The comments are the latest of a series made by Lammy, in which he has laid out his vision for the future of the UK cultural sector. Earlier this year, speaking to the Association of British Orchestras, he called for a new system that would see leading companies being made to "stand on their own." Junior ministers are often used by government to voice its more radical policies and Lammy is seen in political circles as young, ambitious and keen to stamp his mark on the sector.
Professor Sara Selwood, head of cultural policy and management at City University, broadly welcomed Lammy's proposals but warned that the minister had not made clear how the results of the changes would be measured.
She added: "One of the drawbacks is that he hasn't touched on accountability… [and] it's unclear what kind of art he was thinking about. I certainly don't know where this is going in terms of whether there will be more community work or more high art.
"It seems to be going in the right direction but I find it hard to cut through the rhetoric. How will it happen? And what does it mean in terms of where the arts council will be?"

Aponte MMP et al. – The findings suggest that ACEIs and ARBs can play an important role in prevention of atherosclerosis and in the delay of its progression. In this review the authors focus on the importance of RAAS blockade to prevent or delay progression of atherosclerosis and its impact on reduction of cardiovascular events.
- Atherosclerosis is a highly complex biological process that has become the scourge of modern civilization.
- Endothelial dysfunction is the first step in the development of atherosclerosis.
- The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in the development of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis.
- Several studies have shown that in vitro blockade of the RAAS is associated with improvement in markers of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation.
- Many clinical trials have demonstrated a clear benefit of angiotensin–converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) manifested by a reduction of cardiovascular events.


text: WEST SPRINGFIELD Eastern States Exposition recently announced the launch of its new, colorful and expanded Web site. The redesign separates the different aspects of ESE into four new and specific Web sites The Big E, Eastern States Exposition, Storrowton Village and The Eastern States Exposition Foundation. The site is arranged in convenient, well-organized drop-down menus and all four sites can be accessed from any page. "TheBigE.com is a complex site with a vast amount of information. However, it is organized in such a way that it is easy to navigate and fun to use," Noreen Tassinari, ESE director of marketing, who served as project leader, said. "Our Web site is designed to serve a multitude of audiences from our million plus Big E guests, to livestock exhibitors and 4-H and FFA youth, to concessionaires and vendors, meeting planners and show promoters who utilize the grounds for shows and events year-round, brides planning weddings, teachers scheduling experiences for students at Storrowton Village Museum, media and many others," she added. New features of the site include flash animation, "What's New" and "Calendar of Events" modules, as well as a "Food Finder," which will debut in time for the 2010 Big E. ESE worked in partnership with Ntelligent Designs of Irvine, Calif., who has designed Web sites for some of the major fairs in North America. The site will continue to be hosted by Ashton Associates of Westfield, Mass. The Web site may be accessed via TheBigE.com or EasternStates-Exposition.com. The Big E takes place Sept. 17 to Oct. 3 in West Springfield.

I was discussing this with a couple of my daughters and I wonder which method do you use, if you wish to make a withdrawal from your checking account. ATM, write a check to yourself or use a checking withdrawal slip? Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by LuAnn_in_PA (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 16:23
Of your choices... check to self. I never received checking account withdrawal slips.... only deposit slips. I do not have an ATM card - never did! I prefer MY choice... cash bask at a register. |
ATM in a branch of my bank. |
I write a check to myself (never to cash). Other than moving my direct deposits out of one bank to another so they cannot be accessed by the depositors (that can happen and is a HUGE hassle to fix), I never take money out of the bank, though. It goes in for a reason--and stays there. Don't/won't use ATM's (don't even have a card). And while my bank does have withdrawal slips, can't see the point of using them when I have checks. |
Usually I get extra cash back at the grocery or hardware store. I rarely ever go to the bank anymore for anything. |
All of the above, well, except for the withdrawal slip. Don't know that I've ever used one. Also get cash back when checking out at a store. |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 17:45
I usually write a check to myself. Safer that way because the banks asks for ID and/or debit card. |
- Posted by kris_zone6 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 17:51
ATM card, never write check to myself and have never seen withdrawal slips for checking account. I use debit card for almost all my purchases and never get cash back when I do write a check. |
Never used ATM card |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 18:19
I get cash back at various stores I am shopping at. My husband sometimes does get cash from the bank if he is going there for some reason. |
I don't have a debit card, but an ATM card. I use it to get cash, when I want/need some. Moni |
- Posted by maire_cate (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 18:39
If I need cash I write a check to myself and use the drive thru teller. I probably do that once a month or so - I use a credit card for almost all my purchases so I don't carry much cash. |
- Posted by linda_in_iowa (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 18:50
I use my debit card for most purchases and get cash back at the grocery store if I need cash. I rarely go to the bank. I am surprised that some of you have never had an ATM or debit card. |
- Posted by FlamingO_in_AR (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 19:14
Drive up ATM. Usually about every other month or so, we don't use a lot of cash. |
I get cash back at the grocery store while using my debit card. My DH goes to the bank and gets cash. I rarely set foot in my bank. |
Why so surprised, Linda? One doesn't need an ATM or debit card if you pay for everything with cash. Much safer--with cash you can only lose a finite amount. Using all those electronic and card transactions, you run the risk of identity theft. My next door neighbor had hers stolen and it was over $30,000 out of her pocket in legal fees and YEARS, before she got it sorted out. I'd rather lose a few hundred$$$ any day. Have to admit, I do have one credit card--but it stays in the safe. Only used because we have to order our meds mail order and they insist upon a credit card. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't even have that one card. |
ATM 95% of the time. I don't understand peoples' aversions to ATMs? |
Generally, I use a debit card at my bank. If I need a larger amount, then I will write a check to myself in the bank. |
I write a check to myself |
- Posted by LuAnn_in_PA (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 21:01
"I am surprised that some of you have never had an ATM or debit card." Why? I charge virtually everything. And a CC is way safer than a debit card.... |
ATMs, most of the time. But I'm trying to write checks instead, because the ATM slips end up in my purse and I don't always take them out immediately to note the transaction in my checkbook register. Of course, that doesn't happen when I write a check. |
ATM. Then I go in the bank and change those twenties for smaller bills. |
Using an ATM then going into the bank seems like a redundancy to me. Why not just use the teller and get the denominations you want right away? Haven't used an ATM for decades. I use the bank. Usually drive up or use one of the mini banks in a grocery store. My bank is open 7 days a week and longer hours than most are. I have a stack of deposit and withdrawal slips in the vehicle. The problem is they limit drive up withdrawals to something like $150 but that's usually enough. I don't need a lot of cash except when I was paying for mowing, or the rare time when I order a pizza or something. I use the credit card for most all transactions when I can although I like some cash for tips and small transactions. Don't know if they still charge, but they used to charge a fee for cashback on transaction so I never got into that. Can't think of the last time I wrote a check. I do most payments online. |
I use my bank's ATM. They don't charge me a fee. |
- Posted by jennmonkey (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 12 at 11:12
My credit union doesn't use tellers anymore. They have some people working there but the banking is mostly through machines. The only checks I write anymore is for rent. Everything else I pay online. My pay checks are deposited directly. Pretty much nowhere takes checks anymore when shopping anyway, so I don't even carry the checkbook. I've never written a check to myself before. If I want cash I either go to an ATM or get cash back with another purchase. I almost exclusively use my debit card and rarely have cash on hand. |
We use the ATM's that don't charge a fee for our credit union. Every Publix has one, no matter where we are in the state. Pammyfay, if you can figure out how much cash you need in a month, you can call the bank and have that amount transferred from your checking to your savings account. That way you can withdraw from your savings account at an ATM and don't have to remember to save those receipts. Harry's been doing that since before I met him. Probably for good reason :-) |
For those who worry about saving ATM receipts - why? I simply go on-line, and see what has cleared. I despise paper, and haven't written a check for years, don't get paper statements in the mail, either. Rather than mailing a check to pay a bill (save postage costs, and you KNOW it will get there). On-line, I can have a check sent from the bank to any individual, not just a business. |
At my usual bank branch, I smile at the teller, give her my bank book and tell her how much cash I need. S/he may ask what size bills I need, then gets the cash from the security window or the machine, counts it out and gives it to me, then asks me to sign the receipt, which shows which account it came from, then she gives me back my bank book with the transaction recorded, which I check. When visiting a different branch the other day, the lady asked for an access card, which I showed her. When she brought the money, I asked her how she could be sure that I wasn't a stranger using the access card that I'd found/stolen. She said that before she gave me the money, she'd ask for picture ID. The other day in the usual branch they had a poster recommending use of debit card (was it for internet transactions?), and I said that on the radio that morning they'd said that debit card was not a good idea, as using a credit card usually meant that if there was a dispute, that you'd receive a credit for the amount, but using a debit card would make the entire amount in your account vulnerable ... with no recourse. Not my idea of a fun ride. ole joyful |

ATMs for cash. Why would I go into the bank and stand in line? I usually go off hours, too. |

Introduction To The Stale Popcorn Rating System
So if you check out my reviews of Tekkon Kinkreet and Paprika below you might well see a "rating system" has been implemented at the bottom of the review – it was something that I was thinking about doing for a little while and I have now taken the site wide decision to start it. So I thought I better explain it a little.
Basically the system runs from 1 – 5 but we're not talking "stars" here! Oh no! We're talking about the much more important and prestigious "Pop-Corns"!
So how's it work? Here's how it's going to break down:
If a movie gets one Pop-Corn then it sucks. Plain and simple. We're probably talking Alone In The Dark territory here.
Two Pop-Corns means that, while it's not the shittiest thing out there, it could have been oh so much better. Kind of like The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)
Three Pop-Corns means that you're going to be getting a good time. It might not be the best movie in the world but it will keep you entertained. Think movies like Fifth Element or The Day After Tomorrow.
Getting to the top, we have Four Pop-Corns. This is getting good now. A Four Pop-Corn movie means that, while it might not be perfect, it's still freakin' good! Think Hellboy, The Warriors or The Matrix.
And finally we get Five Pop-Corns. This is the best. The bees-knees. The dogs testicles. The fucking best! Think Die Hard, Aliens, Batman Begins or Serenity. You know with a Five Pop-Corn movie you are going to see a visual treat. (obviously all movies ratings mentioned here are entirely subjective and you might have your own versions)
I hope you like the new rating system. As always you can let us know what you think of this, or any other aspect of the site, either in the comments sections or via email.

Fantasy Flight Games Announces New Website Features
Upcoming Products Page and News Article Comments |
News | Published 13 February 2009 |
Dear FFG Visitor,
As mentioned before, we have been hard at work creating improvements and additional features to the new FFG website. Today, we are pleased to announce two new features:
New Upcoming Page
We have worked hard to dynamically integrate and recreate one the most popular features of FFG's former site -- the "Upcoming Products" page. Today we're revealing this new page to the public (simply hit the "Upcoming" link on the header bar.) You will now, once more, be able to follow the production and shipping progress of anticipated FFG products in the pipeline, as well as see which FFG products are undergoing reprints.
The dynamic back-end functionality of the new FFG website allows our sales and production teams to directly update information on upcoming products, so you should see more frequent and more accurate updates to this site than in the past.
(This update also fixes the issue of the permanent "Buy Now" button which was attached to all of our products descriptions, regardless of their actual availability.)
New Message Comments
Most of our website news items now feature the capability to add your comments directly to the news item. You'll need to log in to your FFG website account to do so. (This feature has actually been in live testing for about a week, so you may have noticed this already.)
We continue to work on new features and improvements for the website. As always, thank you for your patronage and thank you for playing.
Christian T. Petersen
Love the new website and features.
Descent Miniature is there too - nice news, Thanx FFG
Any new expansion for Arkham Horror board game?
Very nice upgrade, compliments! Keep up the good work!
I love having the upcoming back, but I'd like to see the reprints on a separate page, to make it more organized. :)
This looks great!
Any chance of adding any type of sort or filter to it? I'd love to be able to view by RPG/Board Game/LCG, etc.
Nice to have the opportunity to say congratulations on the new site in general. As a designer myself, I found the old one frustrating, but this new website is exceptional and completely up-to-date both technically and visually. Nice work, and my compliments to the people responsible!
Hi All,
Please note that the Upcoming section is not where FFG will announce new product. Thus, it is entirely intentional that you're do not seeing any product news on this page. Rather, it is the place to follow the development and production status of products that FFG has already announced. As product are announced (right on the front page, and their respective mini-sites) they will be added to the upcoming page.
Best Wishes,
Nice good to see this feature back....HOWEVER when will we get some information on BattleLore???
Upcoming products are a great basis for speculation. Thanks for bringing it back.
Yet not a word about Battlelore, even on the Upcoming page, despite a hinted update "after February 11th"...
Sweet, yeah the Upcoming page I have missed since the new site arrived. Thx for bringing it back!

Feb 22, 2014 8:05 PM by Associated Press, BH
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - All-time home run leader Barry Bonds is returning to the San Francisco Giants as a spring training instructor
The Giants say Bonds is expected to arrive during the second week of March. Manager Bruce Bochy says he's looking forward to having Bonds in camp and thinks he can help the hitters.
The 49-year-old Bonds spent his last 15 seasons with the Giants, finishing in 2007. He has not been elected to the Hall of Fame, with many voters saying his lofty numbers were boosted by performance-enhancing drugs.
Bonds set major league records with 762 career home runs and 73 in 2001. He also had a .444 career on-base percentage and a .607 slugging percentage and stole 514 bases.
He'll join former Giants Jeff Kent, Robb Nen, Will Clark and J.T. Snow as special instructors.
