Stop the Bombs! I Can't Hear What my Enemy is Saying.
September, 11, 2009. I remember the moment that I watched the second jet hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. I was in a hotel room in Cedar City, Utah where I was on a PTA-sponsored speaking tour of Utah schools. As I sat on my bed watching the events unfold, I went through a myriad of feelings in the space of those awful 15 or 20 minutes starting with a surreal fascination and curiosity followed by rage and intensity. But the feeling that has stuck with me almost continuously the last eight years is one of determination to not just sit in the comfort of my house and watch the killing and hating through my peripheral vision. It's easy to do that with a smorgasbord of pop culture continually screaming for attention. I try not to let the din of American commercialism cover up the crying happening daily in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, and other turbulent regions.
I have to keep believing that all of us pushing and shoving for space on this planet really desire peace, love, and harmony more than war, hate, and disharmony. Surely—even the most radical extremist would prefer a comfortable abode for his family, sufficient food to eat, and just a bit extra to enjoy the simple things in life. The opium-farming Taliban Afghani would rather just sell his beautiful flowers for decoration if he could make enough money that way. The bomb-toting Hamas Palestinian youth would rather strap on a book bag on his way to a higher education if it were available. Poverty and lack of education breed desperation and hatred. We've seen it here in the US in our inner cities for years. We shouldn't be surprised that the same formula equals a similar result in other places.
I remember thinking naively, after Osama Bin Laden announced his ownership of the 9/11 tragedy, "I want to go and talk to him - ask him why he hates us so much. I want to play music for him and infuse a bit of love into his otherwise hate-consumed world." I thought at that time that he just needed to get to know us and he'd have a change of heart. I now feel that those on the extreme side of world conflict may be too immersed and invested in their causes to listen to reason. However, there are millions of others who are in the more reasonable middle ground. They should become our focus now.
I am convinced that the answer to solving the MIddle East conflict, is NOT found at the end of a gun rifle but at the end of an outstretched hand. Guns, bombs, and violence can only breed more of the same. The same could be said for other foreign policy hotspots around the world. During the last election, I remember Obama being castigated by the Republican candidates when he mentioned in a debate that if elected, he "could be willing to meet leaders of Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea in [his] first year of office." Despite the protests of his opponents, this simple statement by Obama was hailed by the majority of countries outside our shores. Perhaps they realized like Abraham Lincoln did that "Am I not destroying enemies when I make friends of them?" or Moshe Dyan who said, "If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies."
That is why I was constantly confused at the Bush administration's insistence on NOT talking with those who fight against us. We can't bomb them into oblivion. Using force against them without discourse only ignorantly reinforces their idea that America is "occupying" their homeland. Emerging from the rubble of Baghdad, Kabul, and Gaza will be stronger fighters even more incensed and determined to bring about our demise. Bush and Cheney's "surge" and resolve to not discuss and educate was just pouring gasoline on an already growing fire.
During the first eight months of Obama's administration, I have observed his foreign policy start to take shape and have been cautiously optimistic as I've seen a hand outstretched in the direction of Russia, North Korea, and other nations deemed part of Bush's "Axis of Evil" only a year ago. More talking and overtures of peace and less yelling and posturing seems to be this administration's foreign policy mantra. We've carried a "big stick" long enough. Obama seems to want to infuse a little more "speak softly" into his foreign policy equation. From my vantage point, it's starting to work. The more this country presses the flesh, the less apt we are to press the red button.

Michael Jordan Grabs Breakfast With 'Melo, CP & D-Wade At Rucker
This morning, 23 kids got the opportunity of a lifetime. As their summer-long program of the Jordan Breakfast Club came to and end, they had a special guest speaker at their graduation. But before they could finish for the summer, they had to get past three guys: Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade. Hopping on the court and competing against the kids, Jordan Brand's frontmen had a blast. Then, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the G.O.A.T. strutted out onto the court in All Carolina Blue Everything. Check out the photos after the jump. Read More »

Ron Raffaelli
He spent magical days and nights in the company of rock legends, photographing them for the album covers and posters that proclaimed their faces and their music to the young people of the world. As a friend, he caught the performers in their private moments of play and doubt. He also immortalized their very public triumphs; those electrifying nights when they were carried away on the roar of thousands of fans.
It all started with a bizarre interview. A 22-year-old recent graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Southern California, Raffaelli was summoned to a Beverly Hills estate to interview for a photography job with a musician he had never heard of. The photographer was ushered into a darkened bedroom, where through the smoky light he saw a figure seated on the floor. The form, washed in crimson light by a dim red light bulb draped with iridescent scarves, was Jimi Hendrix. He motioned for Raffaelli's portfolio. Without a word, he paged for a scant few seconds through Raffaelli's work, then handed back the book.
Driving back to the studio, Raffaelli dismissed the experience as a waste of time. But a couple of weeks later, Hendrix's tour manager called and told him to catch the next flight to Hawaii. Jimi had chosen Raffaelli as his personal photographer, and the star would begin his first American tour in Honolulu.
As the musician and the photographer became close, one night Hendrix told Raffaelli that they had also been friends in past lives. Jimi advised his friend to use his camera lens as a brush, painting the world around him the way he saw it.
Raffaelli has had six books published in addition to hundreds of magazine layouts and covers. He is still an active professional artist and photographer.

The wild bees are active on my purple salvia and I have all sorts visiting.
But today I saw something that I've never seen before. Honeybees - one larger than the others. When one landed on one of the flowers, the larger bee would quickly land on top of it and scare it off, but no hard seemed to be done. It did it twice when I was watching and then my husband saw the same actions. Both bees look like honey bees - same gold and dark brown coloring, just the one was, maybe, an 1/8 inch larger? It didn't bother the bumbles. Was this normal or something I should keep an eye on? Thanks! |

I find this is pretty normal....if these are two worker, female bees, the larger one's are usually the male drone bees and I don't think you have seen this, most likely a larger worker bee competing for the same flower. Konrad |

The Pope's Christmas message is a gift for the Church and the world. As we sense evil and disaster impending, he reminds us that "God's arm is not too short to save," and that it was in order to do just that that He came into the world.
Veni ad salvandum nos! Come to save us! This is the cry raised by men and women in every age, who sense that by themselves they cannot prevail over difficulties and dangers. They need to put their hands in a greater and stronger hand, a hand which reaches out to them from on high. Dear brothers and sisters, this hand is Christ, born in Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary. He is the hand that God extends to humanity, to draw us out of the mire of sin and to set us firmly on rock, the secure rock of his Truth and his Love (cf. Ps 40:2).
...The very fact that we cry to heaven in this way already sets us aright; it makes us true to ourselves: we are in fact those who cried out to God and were saved (cf. Esth [LXX] 10:3ff.). God is the Saviour; we are those who are in peril. He is the physician; we are the infirm. To realize this is the first step towards salvation, towards emerging from the maze in which we have been locked by our pride. To lift our eyes to heaven, to stretch out our hands and call for help is our means of escape, provided that there is Someone who hears us and can come to our assistance.
If you are interested in a very well done rendition of the Christmas events, as if told in a digitial universe, check the following link: http://www.flixxy.com/digital-christmas-story.html
I find it quite enjoyable for young or old, though the final line about "feelings" needs some personalist, phenomenological clarification along Von Hildbrandian lines....

Fiberglass windows and doors are becoming a powerful player in the window industry today. Although they have been around for years, the pultrusion process has made the complex shapes needed to make windows and doors more affordable. Fiberglass mote and fibers are soaked in a plastic resin and then pulled through heated dyes to form the lineal shapes. The material is cut and assembled in a similar fashion to an aluminum frame screwing the corners together and sealing the joints. Fiberglass windows compare well to those of other building materials.
- Energy Savings: Fiberglass is an excellent insulator, making it a great choice for windows and patio doors. It is the most energy efficient window made today.
- Convenience: Fiberglass is an extremely strong frame material. It is one of the most durable and can be painted with either acrylic or oil based exterior paints. Because fiberglass is a stable, (resists swelling and shrinkage), paint finishes last far longer.
- Durability: Quality Doors and Windows fiberglass windows and patio doors are backed by a lifetime warranty, which exceeds the warranties offered by most wood and aluminum window manufacturers. All products are tested and certified for structural and thermal performance to insure a lifetime of performance.
- Appearance: A wide selection of window styles and sizes from many different window manufacturers assures that you'll find a window to enhance the look of your home. Fiberglass windows don't rot, corrode, flake or peel therefore factory finishes never need to be painted unless you wish to change the color. Their appearance is easily maintained with periodic cleaning. Fiberglass windows have narrow sightlines that work well for many homes where the frames of vinyl or wood may appear heavy and bulkier.
- Value: While fiberglass windows tend to cost more the most of the other frame systems, the aesthetic appeal, strength, durability, and thermal performance makes this frame system an excellent choice for any home. The amount you spend returns to you every month in the form of lower utility costs, improved appearance, and greater indoor comfort.
The combination of aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, low maintenance and durability provides equal or better performance than almost all other materials.
Why should I replace my existing windows?
Quality Doors and Windows offers many styles from top manufacturers to give your home a beautiful new look while improving energy efficiency. Quality Doors and Windows can change the appearance of your home and add value to your home while cutting down your heating and cooling bills. Aluminum windows never need painting and are easy to clean, so you'll spend less time worrying about your windows and more time enjoying yourself.
What are R-values and U-values?
The R-value is the resistance a material has to the flow of heat (the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating value). R-value is the opposite, or reciprocal of U-value.
The U-value is the amount of heat that is transferred through a material – the lower the U-value, the better insulating quality. U-value is the opposite, or reciprocal of R-value.
How can I determine the energy efficiency and durability of Quality Doors and Windows or any window?
For answers to many of your questions regarding energy efficiency, performance and durability of aluminum windows please visit our Comparing Windows section.
Two organizations, the American Architectural Manufacturing Association (AAMA) and the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), test the performance and quality standards for windows.
The NFRC established standards for thermal performance.
- U-factor: This is a measure of heat loss. The lower the U-factor the better.
- SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient): Measures the amount of heat gained through a window. Once again the lower the better.
- VT (Visible Transmittance): The higher the visible transmittance, the more daylight is transmitted. A high VT is desirable to maximize the amount of daylight entering the home.
The AAMA established standards for structural integrity, air infiltration, water infiltration resistance and forced entry resistance.
- Structural Integrity is the ability to withstand wind and other dynamic pressures. This is rated in design pressure (DP). The higher a product's design pressure rating, the greater the amount of wind or pressure the window will withstand.
- Air Infiltration tests measure a window's ability to resist air from passing through the frame and sash of a window at the equivalent of 25-mph wind. The lower the air infiltration rating the better.
- Water Infiltration tests a window's ability to resist water leakage through the window frame, sashes, joints, weather-stripping, etc. No leakage is permitted under these test criteria.
- A Forced Entry test is performed by a certified lab technician using many different tools in an attempt to try and break into a home through the window. Next, windows and doors are subjected to hundreds of pounds of force to try to lift or push them open while in the locked position.
What is ENERGY STAR and how does a window company qualify for ENERGY STAR compliance?
ENERGY STAR was started by The United States Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. ENERGY STAR helps businesses and consumers become aware of what products save energy to save money while protecting the environment for future generations. When a product fits the requirements for ENERGY STAR that product then qualifies for the program. All windows and doors offered by Quality Doors and Windows meets ENERGYSTAR requirements.
Are Quality Doors and Windows available in varying sizes?
All Quality Doors and Windows are custom made for your home. We have many sizes and shapes to choose from.
What is insulated glass and why does Quality Doors and Windows recommend it?
Insulated glass consists of two pieces of glass sealed to a spacer. This creates an insulated air space between the two pieces of glass, resulting in better thermal performance. Many manufacturers inject the airspace with gasses such as argon and krypton to increase the thermal effectiveness of the insulated glass unit. Insulated glass also reduces condensation while keeping the heat in during the winter and the heat out during the summer.
What is condensation and what causes it?
Condensation is the result of excess humidity, or excess water vapor in the air coming into contact with a cooler surface such as a window causing visible droplets of water. All windows are built with features to keep the surface of the glass warmer to avoid condensation. When humidity conditions are extremely high, use the following suggestions to help reduce the moisture in the air:
- Open windows frequently to "air-out" your home.
- Use a dehumidifier.
- Use venting fans in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room.
What is Low E glass and how does it work?
Low E (low emissivity) glass provides year round comfort and energy savings. Thin, transparent metallic coatings applied to the glass selectively filter solar radiation. During the summer, Low E reduces heat gain, keeping your home cooler. Low E glass helps keep you warmer in the winter by reflecting heat back into your home.
What kind of maintenance do my new Quality Doors and Windows require?
Quality Doors and Windows aluminum windows are virtually maintenance free. They are unaffected by moisture, salt air, pollution and airborne chemicals. Aluminum will not pit, peel, flake or corrode making it unnecessary to paint. Cleaning them is easy using a simple cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents as these could damage the finish or appearance of the windows.
What types of operable windows are available in Thermal Brake Aluminum?
Quality Doors and Windows installs aluminum windows that are:
- Single hung
- Double hung
- Horizontally sliding
- Casement and Awning
- Fixed and Special shapes
All windows are custom made to fit to insure the best thermal effectiveness and durability.

I just purchased this plant from the local big box store and want to make sure I locate and plant it correctly. I am in zone 10, in Fort Myers. My home has south, north and west exposures and some shade from pines and mahogany trees. Any suggestions? Also seeing a bit of yellowing on the leaves. Too much water? |

Glad you posted a photo of your plant. It's quite different to mine. I bought mine a number of years back with the comment that the leaf edges would ruffle up. They're a bit wavy now, but far from being ruffled. I checked this site: http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Anthurium plowmanii pc.html They say the ruffles can be slight to very ruffled, there's a lot of variation. I put mine in a hollow log in good shade but bright light. It's growing quite well. It doesn't get a lot of water but seems okay with that. |
Hi To me it looks like the hybrid called "Fruffles" have usually heard these called "Birds nest anthurium" These types generally IME need more sun and drier conditions than the flowering types . I'd place it where it could get morning sun and some afternoon shade.. I grew a similar type in dappled shade for many years Since there are only a gazillion types of anthuriums ,not to mention hybrids tough to pin down??? gary |
Thank you garyfla & tropicbreezent for responding to my first question on this forum. garyfla you're right about the name I believe. The tag actually says Birds Nest Hookerii, but I had a hard time finding a pic that looked like my plant. I think, based on your recommendations, I will place it in the back of the home, facing south, slightly under my mahogany tree dripline. It will get the morning sun, but the tree will provide some shade in the afternoon. I'm planning to create a large plant bed under the mahogany so I have a space to locate a park bench and be able to look over the back pond, and be protected from the sun. |
Hi Think that will work for you. hurricane frances threw a shadehouse on top of mine so no longer have it lol. Great site for a tropical garden!!! gary |

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
In "Wonderful Welcome," a Tapestry of Faith program
Tell the children:
What if we all had a picture on our kitchen walls to remind us to show respect and care for one another. What kind of a picture do you think might help your family remember to be respectful and caring?
Allow some suggestions. Offer the idea that some children might want to draw a picture of people in their family being kind and caring to one another. As children present their ideas, affirm all family structures and relationships that are mentioned.
Then distribute the drawing paper. Invite the children to draw a picture that they can post on their own kitchen wall to remind them and their family members to share their intangible gifts such as love, respect, kindness, invitation, and caring.
As children finish their drawings, help them write a few words to explain what the picture is about. To frame each drawing, glue it in the center of a larger sheet of colored construction paper.
If you are prompting children with ideas about what to draw, avoid language that assumes anything about children's family structures and the roles different people might play.

Nicalis has confirmed to us via Twitter that the eShop version of VVVVVV will be released on the Australian eShop next week, that's October 4th.
The title has been available in America and even on the European eShop for some time but for reasons left in the past (voodoo we believe) the game never hit the Australian eShop.
VVVVVV is a gravity shifting puzzle platformer which sounds and looks like a 8-bit title. It's also as tough as nails like one too. Captain Viridian will thank you if you get the job done right.

Location, Climate
Shanghai is a leading tourist destination in China which is divided by the beautiful Huangpu River into two major districts namely Puxi and Pudong. The climate in Shanghai is humid subtropical. Experience hot summers with occasional rain between July to September. The best time to visit Shanghai is during the autumn when the weather is mild and sunny. We hope the weather will be fine when you are staying at Shanghai hotels, China.
Brief History
This city has been reined by the Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, but it only gained fame after the First Opium War wherein China lost the battle to the Europeans in 1842. Shanghai soon opened its ports to foreign investors and as a result, the city was taken over by eight nations, which gave Shanghai that "East meets West" atmosphere.
Events, Landmarks, Activities
Shanghai boasts of having many colourful festivals and the latest addition to those are the Shanghai Tourism Festival and Shanghai International Music Fireworks Festival. Book your discounted hotel room well in advance because most hotels are full during September and October when these two events are held. The best place to start sightseeing is at The Bund, which is a waterfront area that consists of numerous buildings with different architectural styles. Next stop is at the Old Town where you can find the spectacular Yuyuan Gardens. The more modern part of Shanghai is Nanjing Road which is one of the busiest shopping districts in the world. You can see these landmarks by booking Shanghai hotel deals .Some of the other cities in China we suggest you visit are Suzhou, Nantong and Ningbo.
Shanghai has a good cheap train network as well as subway connections (best to avoid during the rush hours). The high-speed maglev train travels between Pudong Airport and the city while ferries cross the Huangpu River between the mainland and the Islands. Find cheap hotels in Shanghai nearby public transportation.

With his black Troy lee Designs T-shirt, skateboard sneakers, and male-model good looks, Patrick Long doesn't fit the usual Olive Garden demographic. He's also something of a foodie, and he speaks Italian fluently, which is probably more than you can say for anybody working in the kitchen. He'd planned to eat someplace more upscale here in Daytona Beach, but it's prime time on a Friday night, and the restaurant was mobbed. "This is fine," he says when he strolls into the ersatz Italian foyer. "When I was racing in NASCAR, I learned to eat anything."
Three weeks from now, Long will race a Porsche 911 GT3 for Flying Lizard Motorsports in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Although this is the biggest race on the Grand-Am schedule, sports car racing plays to minuscule audiences in North America, and participants far outnumber paying spectators at this weekend's test session. Nobody at the Olive Garden pays any attention to Long during dinner. Until the waiter drops off the bill. "My boss recognized you," he says, sounding chagrined that he hadn't recognized Long himself. "Stay on the track, and good luck in the race."
Long is the public face of Porsche motorsports in the United States. Worldwide, Porsche employs nine factory race car drivers, but Long is the only American. "I have a different role within the factory team because the U.S. is so passionate about Porsche and there's such a thriving Porsche community here," he says. "I haven't even cracked the surface of meeting all the Porsche-philes out there and sharing stories with them. It's not part of the job description per se, but I've made it a huge part of my life. If I drove for another manufacturer, I'd have only one or two chances to do an auto show or a new car launch. But at Porsche, I could fill 365 days a year with activities."
Job One, obviously, is racing. Since joining Porsche in 2003, Long has scored class wins in the Triple Crown of endurance racing -- Le Mans, Daytona, and Sebring -- as well as overall victories in cars ranging from Daytona Prototypes to the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. So he's proven himself worthy of entree to a select American fraternity of Porsche factory drivers that includes legends such as Dan Gurney, Peter Gregg, Al Holbert, and Hurley Haywood. At the same time, Long has also insinuated himself into the corporate culture by representing Porsche at events designed to burnish the brand. "Patrick is a great communicator who can talk to customers as easily as he can talk to race engineers," says Jens Walther, president and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America. "That makes him a perfect ambassador for Porsche."
At thirty, Long still exudes a boyish passion for racing, and his role as Porsche poster child is well served by his sunny, all-American image. He grew up in suburban Los Angeles in a hotbed of surfers (like his father) and skateboarders (his brother, Kevin, is a top pro). But despite his all-American persona, Long attributes his success in racing to moving to Europe while he was in high school. Not only did that pit him against the best karters in the world, but it also demonstrated how committed he was to making racing his career.
Long can't remember a time when he wasn't obsessed with racing. When he was four, he started attending races with his Uncle Pat, a motocross rider and demolition-derby competitor. "I was at Ascot every Thursday night watching speedway, and Saturday night the World of Outlaws, and Sunday night demolition derby," Long says. "I remember my mom saying, 'I'll buy you a new Nintendo game if you stay home this weekend.' And I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? The World of Outlaws is in town. I'm gone. See ya.' And my uncle would be outside honking the horn."
When he was five, Long's Christmas present was a hand-welded go-kart that his father and uncle picked up for $75 at a garage sale. He started racing when he was eight, won his first national championship when he was ten, raced in Europe for the first time when he was fourteen. The next year, while he was a junior in high school, he moved to a small town near Lake Garda, in the heart of Italian kart country, to race -- and work in the shop -- for kart-chassis manufacturer CRG. There, Long learned to speak Italian and underwent his baptism by fire.
"The racing was self-policing -- boys have at it, an eye for an eye," he says. "Even before the green flag, you had to fight just to hold onto your grid spot. In the U.S., we have the mentality that every kid gets a trophy. In Europe, three-quarters of the field goes home before the final. Crashing was such a regular thing that you had to learn how to pick your battles and protect your kart. I also understood that it was important to pick up the language and immerse myself in the culture of the team I was racing for. It helps you with the little things -- making people laugh in their own language and knowing if they're talking shit about you. It was also critical to show my team that I wasn't just there on vacation. I was there to win."
Long became the first American in twenty years to win an international kart race in Europe. This led to a fully paid Elf Formula Campus scholarship. He moved to Le Mans, learned French, and finished third in the series championship in his first season racing cars. Next came two years in England and several impressive wins in Formula Fords, plus a Skip Barber scholarship back in the States. Formula 1 was his goal, but Long couldn't raise the money he needed to take the next step up the ladder. Then, providentially, the much-ballyhooed Red Bull Driver Search came out of nowhere, and he was one of the fifteen finalists who competed in a shoot-out for what was ultimately supposed to be a shot at Formula 1. Long was devastated when he didn't make the cut. (Scott Speed got the gig and rode it all the way to F1.) But Porsche liked what they'd seen of Long during the two-month-long Red Bull media circus. After testing him in a 911 Carrera Cup car and subjecting him to a battery of interviews, Porsche offered him a slot on its junior team. The contract would give him the security of a full-time job racing sports cars, but it would close the door on F1.

I have an existing drip line (1/2 inch line of Rainbird emitter tubing) that runs around the perimeter of our house. I want to add some 1/4 inch feeder lines to extend the reach of the irrigation into the beds. From what I have gathered, I will need a hole puncher, barbed coupling, 1/4 inch tubing and a goof plug cap.
My question is what kind of emitter should I use? Should I use a "bug plug" instead of a goof plug to allow a drip at the cap? I see there are 1/4 inch emitter lines and mini in line drippers as well, but these do not appear to be pressure regulated. If you have some experience and can recommend the correct set up, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not enough info here but let me see if I can help abit. First the pressure of the line is important. If this is a full pres drip line then getting mini spray heads will most likely work better than drip lines with a bug plug set up. This micro heads from Rainbird have a micro head on a stake (4-5" long is a guess) that attach to a 1/4" hose. Each micro stake comes with a adapter (double male coupling) that is attached to the stake. Break off the adapter and use pliers to hold the end that isnt sharp. Shove the sharp end into the hose you have and it should puncture on its own. If it doesnt then use an ice pick CAREFULLY to make a starter hole. Then attach a 1/4" tube to the other end and cut it as long as you wish. If your tube around your house is a low pre hose (not likely) then your options become much more limited. Drip tubes with bug plugs emit VERY little water (typically mesured in gallons per hour). Good luck, |
Tom, Thanks for your reply. I believe it is a full pressure drip line that we have currently. From your description, I am think of ordering this microsprayer: and this 12" Stake w/ 18" Vinyl Tubing & Adapter: So it seems I will need to use a hole punch in the main line in order to insert the barbed coupler that comes with the stake. Does this sound right to you? Or do you think it's better to get the Rainbird version. Thanks again. |
Those heads will work this link will show you the ones I was talking about. Do you need 12" height? Just a question not really important. The ones on the 2nd row called Xeri Spray 360 was the head I was thinking of. One advantage is the local HomeDepot and Lowes carry these heads so you can go look at them. Not sure if your store will have them but it would be likely. Good luck, http://store.rainbird.com/custom/product_catalog.aspx?category_guid=e78ca374-7818-4186-abc6-3eec25b6e151 |

With technology and globalization creating opportunity and peril in the blink of an eye, risk has replaced the old blue-chip standard of control as the means by which organizations navigate the new information economy. That's the assertion of this in-depth study on risk management—past, present, and future.
Examining the entire business process through the lens of risk, authors Selim and McNamee depict risk-based auditing as a crossroads for the profession.
"Focusing on controls over transactions buried the internal auditor in details of the past, limiting the value of any information derived," they write. "By focusing on risks to present and future transactions, the auditor is working at a level above details and dealing with the obstacles for organizational success."
The research report looks at the various impacts risk management has had on the profession and some of the strategies now in use, such as macro- and micro-risk assessment and scenario planning for fraud and deception, employee theft, burglary, and unlawful duplication. The report also examines the future impact of risk management on the structure of internal auditing as it links with managerial and strategic elements in achieving goals. If you (and key managers within your organization) are seeking to better understand risk management and the role internal auditors play in it, make a place for this important report in your resource library.

Probiotics Get You MovingIf being regular just isn't your thing, adding some "good bugs" to your gut could do the trick
If being regular just isn't your thing, adding some "good bugs" to your gut could do the trick. A study in the Nutrition Journal found that seniors suffering from constipation got some relief by supplementing with probiotics. These friendly bugs also helped shift the balance to a healthier intestinal environment, a factor that might help prevent colon cancer.
Bug your digestive tractWe've probably all experienced it at some point in our lives: that awful feeling of needing to have a bowel movement, but being too blocked. The problem usually becomes more frequent with age, and more than 80% of people living in nursing homes suffer from chronic constipation. Probiotic supplements containing one or more strains of beneficial bacteria help maintain the normal balance of bacteria in the intestines by reducing the number of harmful bacteria and by modulating inflammatory and immune responses. They are frequently used to help prevent and treat different types of diarrhea (from antibiotics and intestinal infections), and they may help control Crohn's disease, as well as boost overall immunity and help prevent colon cancer. The new study investigated the use of a probiotic combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Bifidobacterium longum in 19 nursing home residents with chronic constipation. The people were instructed to take the supplement (containing 300 billion colony-forming units) two times per day for two weeks. Before and after the study, the people filled out questionnaires indicating how often they had bowel movements and the amount of stool that they passed. Stool samples were tested before and after the study for the presence of probiotic bacteria and for levels of harmful enzymes, and probiotic levels were found to increase significantly after treatment. People reported improvements in the frequency of bowel movements and the amount of stool passed. Of the four harmful enzymes tested, the levels of two decreased significantly over the study period. "Probiotics may be beneficial in preventing colon cancer because of their inhibitory effects on harmful enzymes in the intestines," the authors commented. No side effects were reported during the study.

It's also called Morten Bay Chestnut and Black Bean tree. The only reason I knew what it was was because I bought a couple seeds at Disney World last winter. They called it some screwy made up name so I contacted the company that sold them and asked for the proper name. |
Mine is doing extremely well indoors so far, putting on new growth, etc. This is surprising for a sun-loving tree from the tropics. I'm glad you went to the trouble of finding out this tree's true identity. I googled the nursery's name on the tag of mine and found nothing. |

Type, bread, syntax error on data section 1 = '[]'
You may add or drop a full-term course(s) via E-Services (View/Modify) through the fifth day of the semester. Dropping a course by the deadline means the course is removed from your class schedule, you are not financially responsible, and the course does not appear on your transcript.
You may "withdraw" from full-session course(s) via E-Services (View/Modify) through the published date for the semester. Withdrawing from a course(s) means that you are no longer in the course but the course counts as "attempted" and a grade of "W" is given. You are still financially responsible for the course(s).
You may officially withdraw from all courses through the published date. An official withdrawal is defined as terminating enrollment in all registered courses for an academic semester.

I found it! I want this. Now I just have to find it. I haven't loved any art. I have been looking and looking. This artist is fantastic and this is my favorite piece. Of course, it is sold. |

Faux, did you see where another poster here found the bridge triptic you saw on Houzz earlier in the week? Here is the link to that post below, which she shows where you could order it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bridge print
Yep, I responded to that post. I think it it is clear that I am drawn to monochromatic. Hopefully it isn't too drab or depressing. In a perfect world the bridge picture will go in the entryway (just as shown with 3 pieces) and the art I found this morning will go in the great room. The new art says painted in oil on wood. What does that mean? I am a noob. But, I was looking for canvas. |

If you love it, don't start analyzing it! They are beautiful images! |
A quick search found these. Altho most of these are prints/giclees so if you are looking for oils on canvas you'll have to keep looking. Some artists paint in oils on wood in stead of canvas. Not sure what the difference is except canvas would be lighter to hang given the same weight of frame. I think a piece of masonite is smoother so has a different feel to paint on and may be cheaper than canvas. I don't see the difference as an art purchaser altho I think all my original art is on canvas. "City in the Rain by Avery Tillmon" "Plaza After the Rain by Paul Cornoyer" "After the Rain, the Dewey Arch" Shadows of the City 1 by Henderson Cisz. You'll have to search for this one. |

I can see why you love them. They are beautiful paintings. Look on etsy. You'll spend hours, but will eventually find what you want in the size you need. I recently purchased an acrylic on canvas (abstract horse running, taller than wide), but it took me awhile to find. Some artists add new works often, some not, but you can save shops and artwork so that they are easy to find. |
I really like that second painting! Where did you find the images? As the artist doesn't have a website perhaps googling the name would help in finding where his/her paintings are sold. You can always email the gallery(ies) for contact information if you are really interested. Re. oil on wood painting, I'll try to make this short. Yes, wood is a time honored support for paint and some artists prefer it to canvas. Many "old masters" are painted on wood panels. These days, hard board, masonite, plywood and MDF are all used. Even hollow core doors can also be used as affordable paint supports for larger works. :-) The advantages of wood over canvas are primarily the rigidity and durability of the work. Disadvantages include the weight when transporting or hanging and the possibility of warping or bowing, especially with larger pieces. You need to make sure that the wood is well primed so that colors stay true and nothing bleeds through, and that larger pieces are well braced to prevent warping. Hope that helps! |

I love the third painting but all of them are wonderful....art.com here I come! |
Yes, these are definitely Geoffrey Johnson paintings. He is represented by the Principal Gallery, snookums2 posted the contact above, but also the Shain and Hubert Galleries. Faux68, you have good taste as this artist seems to be much sought after by museums and serious collectors! A quick google tells me that you should probably budget in the $20,000 + range if you want an original oil on wood panel monochromatic street scene by Geoffrey Johnson. You are looking for large dramatic pieces I think? You could probably get a similar effect with large cityscape photographs as placeholders if that is out of budget right now . . . |
Faux, are you here in the DC area? The Principal Gallery is in Old Town Alexandria. We have several pieces we have bought there. The folks in the gallery are wonderful. If you aren't near here, I am sure you could call and ask any questions you have. It is a small gallery and definitely worth a trip if you are anywhere nearby. They will also let you take a piece home to make sure you like it before you actually buy it. Of course, I have never done that-when I see something I like, that's it! Dangerous. They often have their artists in for receptions, etc. Lots of fun. |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Sat, Mar 16, 13 at 17:38
Well, shoot, now I am obsessed with Geoffrey Johnson too. If you find anything comparable (for less than $20,000), please pass it on. |
Oh no! $20,000!? I am so disappointed. You are right, by the way, it is Geoffrey Johnson. I will have to keep looking. At least now I know what I like. For a while I thought I was either noncommittal or too picky. Now I know that I just had not seen it yet. Off to Etsy. I like the shadows of the city above. Thank you lucky gal. I am off to search for something that I love for thousands less. I could really see them in my house. |
I can appreciate Johnson's art, but I find them very depressing and not something I would want to hang in my house. Luckily, when it comes to art, there is lots of variety! |
I love those first paintings you posted, there is an abstract quality that speaks to me, they are mysterious in some way. |
Chispa, my 19 year old said they were "creepy" and "spooky". Lol. So, I am sure he would agree with you. Mitchdesj, I agree. Every time I look at them I see something that I didn't see before. I love that! But, I am not spending 20K. I just don't need that kind of art. I am looking more for the place holding kind of art. Mostly so that I can change it out in 10 years without feeling guilty. I did a google search looking for someone like Geoffrey Johnson. So, far I haven't found anything. I do like those pictures above though. I didn't love them at first sight-- I thought more in terms of -- those would work. |

Jul 20, 2013 2:36 AM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Investigators are still trying to determine if a woman who died while riding a roller coaster at a Six Flags amusement park in North Texas fell from the ride dubbed the tallest steel-hybrid coaster in the world.
The accident happened just after 6:30 p.m. Friday at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.
Park spokeswoman Sharon Parker says a woman died while riding the Texas Giant roller coaster but didn't specify how she was killed. Witnesses tell local media outlets the woman fell.
Six Flags expressed sadness over the death and said it was temporarily closing the section of the park around the accident site. A message left for Parker by The Associated Press wasn't returned.
The Texas Giant reaches 14 stories high, drops 79 degrees and banks 95 degrees.

30 November 2012
Next week, 60 young people representing countries across the Commonwealth will gather in London for the 5th Commonwealth Youth Parliament (CYP), taking place in the historic setting of the Houses of Parliament at Westminster. Taking place from 4-7 December, the four-day programme will culminate in a parliamentary-style debate at which the Lord Speaker, Rt Hon. Baroness D'Souza CMG, will preside.
This headline debate will be the second that the Lord Speaker has chaired, the last being the final session of the 4th Commonwealth Youth Parliament held last year in Westminster. It will take the subject of free access to education, and will take place in the House of Lords Robing Room, which was once used as the Chamber for the Upper House after the Commons Chamber was bombed during the London blitz during the Second World War.
During the programme, the delegates, all aged between 18-29, will receive an introduction to the Westminster System and focus on the overarching topic of governance. They will have the opportunity to develop party structures, to elect party leaders and front bench teams and to formulate policies to present to the House. Over the course of the programme, they will meet with:
- Rt Hon. John Bercow MP, House of Commons Speaker
- Rt Hon. Andrew Lansley CBE MP, Leader of the House of Commons
- Hon. Dr Nafisa Shah MNA, Member of the National Assembly of Pakistan
- Mmasekgoa Masire-Mwamba, Deputy Secretary-General of the Commonwealth
- Kerry McCarthy MP, Shadow Minister for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office
The programme is jointly hosted by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) UK and CPA Headquarters Secretariat, and is held this year as part of both organisations' ongoing commitment to involving young people in politics, parliamentary democracy and the Commonwealth. With over half of the Commonwealth's population made up of people under 25, both organisations feel that the CYP represents a remarkable opportunity to engage with the future leaders, legislators and activists of the Commonwealth.

Microsoft has followed a solid business strategy by releasing trial versions of its Office 2011 for Mac suite in which users are able to try the software for 30 days before they commit to purchasing. The launch of the trial version comes only 4 months after the release of the Mac version of Office 2011 and, unfortunately for Apple, provides just one more reason why users will likely end up dropping cash on Microsoft Office rather than Apple's iWork suite.
Despite the fact that iWork is a superior product in many ways, the fact that a new version hasn't be released since 2009 is causing a bit of grumbling among users. Microsoft's strategy for getting Mac users to commit to their product by releasing Office 2011 in advance of a new version of iWork, and now offering a free trial will have placed a dent in the future sales of iWork '11. While it should be noted that Apple does also offer a 30 day trial of iWork '09 on its website, it is unclear if they will do the same when iWork '11 launches on the Mac App Store.
Apple has already said that they will not allow demo or beta versions of software on the mac App Store and that developers should instead host incomplete software on their own websites. To be fair, developers can and have gotten around this predicament by releasing full features and 'lite' versions of their applications, which meets the App Store terms and conditions.
Using iWork '11 as an example, it will be interesting to see if Apple will allow 30 day trials of the software in the same way that it did with iWork '09. These trial versions would obviously conflict with the T & C of the Mac App Store so Apple would likely host them on their own site. Doesn't this create a paradoxical situation for the Mac App Store with users having to go elsewhere to find software?
This is something that could be rectified by Apple by including a separate section of the App Store devoted to demos, betas and trial versions. The Mac App Store is still very young and implementing this feature at an early stage would encourage both sales, and development of new applications, pushing Mac computing forward.

Excellent Convenience to Airport
18 January 2015
New property close to the airport. Room was comfortable and clean. The staff was outstanding. Nice social hour in the evening and the breakfast bar was well maintained. Best of all, the airport van driver was more than happy to take us to the international terminal, unlike several other local hotels. When traveling through Atlanta this is the hotel to which we will return.
Loved Saybridge now and in the past

From my recent stay, the only thing I can comment on that could use improvement is the breakfast, but this is typical in almost every hotel, haven't found one yet that I would rate as great, and when it is free you really can't complain too much.

noun \kär-ˈthü-zhən, -ˈthyü-\Definition of CARTHUSIAN
Origin of CARTHUSIAN
Rhymes with CARTHUSIAN
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Member of a Roman Catholic monastic order founded by St. Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030–1101) in 1084 in the Chartreuse valley of southeastern France. Members of the Order of Carthusians pray, study, eat, and sleep alone but gather in church for morning mass, vespers, and the night office. They dine together on Sundays and major holidays and walk together once a week. They wear hair shirts, abstain from eating meat, and consume only bread and water on Fridays and fast days. At the motherhouse, or Grande Chartreuse (today in Voiron, Isère), the monks distill the liqueur that bears the house's name. Carthusian nuns are also strictly cloistered and contemplative.
