Well, I have a 2-climate garden. In my front yard, I have open southeast exposure where roses just thrive (z5b). In my back yard, I have northwest exposure, with mostly full shade and some dappled light (z5b). At any time of the year, there's a 10-15 degree temperature difference between the front and the back. In the backyard I have ferns. For my front yard roses I regularly use alfafa meal (very popular on the Gardenweb's Roses Forum), which is fantastic for the roses. It's a mulch, it keeps the soil from drying out, and it's a mild fertilizer too. Since I have to buy alfafa meal in 50-lb. bags, I have plenty of it. Can I spread it around the ferns too? |

Hi akchicago, I have the same growing conditions that you do. I also grow ferns and hostas in my northerly side. I know a lot of hosta growers use the alfalfa meal. I wouldn't think it would hurt ferns, I can't imagine that it would, except that ferns really don't need much in the way of fertilizers. They usually do well in relatively poor soils. I'm not sure what extra fertilizer would do for them. I subscribe to the old motto, "If it's not broken, don't fix it." Lainey |

Winona Senior High School will host a special community outreach event on Monday, to help students and community members have a greater understanding of youth suicidewhat to look for, what to ask, and how to find resources and support for kids who might be struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide.
According to a Minnesota student survey in 2007, one in four ninth graders in the state attending public schools reported having thoughts about suicide at some point in their lives; one in five reported having intentionally hurt themselves.
Statistics show that many teens struggle with depression and suicidal thoughtsa call to action for every community, every family, and every school. The first thing to do, experts say, is start the conversation about suicide prevention, and Mondays event will do just that.
The Community Outreach Health Fair and Presentation will be held on Monday, October 8, at Winona Senior High School. During the Mental Health Fair, from 6:15 p.m. until 7 p.m., families looking for support for kids struggling with grief, loss, chemical issues, thoughts of suicide, or other mental health needs can connect with local resources.
Anyone is welcome to attend, said Winona Senior High School Assistant Principal David Anderson.
At 7 p.m., there will be a presentation called Compassion and Care Following Youth Suicide, by Bridgette Hensley and Ryan McKelley, licensed psychologists with the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The presentation and following discussion will focus on understanding suicide statistics for youth, challenging myths and misconceptions about suicide, understanding warning signs, learning how to talk to children about suicide, and identifying sources of safety and support for those at risk of suicide.

One of the greatest technological advancements in diabetes care has been the insulin pump. For one, it gives you the illusion of being "normal" because you no longer have to inject insulin throughout the day. Instead, you "bolus" by pushing a button on the pump itself or using a remote control. It allows better glucose management because you can adjust your basal rate (the "background" insulin dose) by increments of one thousandth of a unit every hour. Especially when you're moving from the peaks and valleys of NPH or the restraints and hazards of Lantus, the freedom of living with an insulin pump is incredible. But pumps do not come without their kinks.

Approximately 3 million work-related injuries were reported by private industries in 2011, and primary care physicians provided care for approximately one out of four injured workers. To appropriately individualize the treatment of an injured worker and expedite the return to work process, primary care physicians need to be familiar with the workers' compensation system and treatment guidelines. Caring for an injured worker begins with a medical history documenting preexisting medical conditions, use of potentially impairing medications and substances, baseline functional status, and psychosocial factors. An understanding of past and current work tasks is critical and can be obtained through patient-completed forms, job analyses, and the patient's employer. Return to work in some capacity is an important part of the recovery process. It should not be unnecessarily delayed and should be an expected outcome communicated to the patient during the initial visit. Certain medications, such as opioids, may delay the return to work process, and their use should be carefully considered. Accurate and legible documentation is critical and should always include the location, date, time, and mechanism of injury.
The evaluation and treatment of the injured worker has become a common challenge in the practice of medicine. In 2011, about 3 million workplace injuries were reported in private industries.1 More than one-half of these involved an injury severe enough that work restrictions, job transfer, or time off from work was required.1 The occupations with the most injuries requiring time off were laborers (construction trades), nursing aides/attendants, and janitors/cleaners.2 Persons 45 to 54 years of age had the highest incidence of injuries, with sprains, strains, and tears the most common diagnoses, accounting for 38% of all injuries requiring time off work.2 The back (36%), shoulder (12%), and knee (12%) were most often injured.2 In 2007, the costs for workers' compensation care in the United States was approximately $50 billion, about four times the cost of breast cancer treatment.3
Occupational medicine is one of the smallest medical specialties, producing about 130 board-eligible physicians annually.4 With the shortage of occupational medicine specialists, primary care physicians are often tasked with evaluating injured workers. Overall, 25% of patients with work-related conditions are cared for by primary care physicians, providing nearly three times as many visits for injured workers compared with occupational medicine specialists.5

Why yes I'm just hanging out at the bus stop. It's a very good thing I don't have to actually rely on public transportation... the one time I did I took 2 wrong buses, and ended up getting home 3 hours later than usual. Not to mention I was that girl sitting in the front by the bus driver (tears in my eyes) so he could help me get off at the right stop. Having said that, as bad as I am with directions - I can ALWAYS find my way around a Target :)

Sting is a wrestler who I have been blessed to follow since the beginning of his long career. Being a fan of professional wrestling for over 30 years, I have followed it from the thriving territory days all the way into the WWE-dominated era. In all these years, I have only had three workers whom I considered my 'favorite wrestler.' Those workers are Billy Jack Haynes (from growing up in the Pacific Northwest), Kevin Von Erich (when I moved to Dallas) and Sting, whom I first saw as a member of the Blade Runners, with Rock (who would eventually become the Ultimate Warrior). In hindsight, Billy Jack Haynes turned into a coked-out car salesman and Kevin Von Erich had to endure more tragedy than any human should ever endure. Ironically, he now sells bank notes in Hawaii.
Sting, however, is still here, and most importantly, he's still relevant.
Though he does not have the athleticism that he once possessed, he still has the ability to draw in crowds with his mic work and still-intense in-ring ability. He has had epic matches in the last five years with Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Abyss and Bobby Roode. Now that he is no longer able to challenge for the TNA World Title, one has to wonder if the New Main Event Mafia angle will be his last.
Let's take a look at Stings past, his rivalries and his future.
UWF and Eddie Gilberts Stable
Living in Dallas, Texas during the mid-1980's gave me a chance to experience that competition that would take place between Fritz Von Erich's World Class Championship Wrestling in Dallas and Bill Watts' Universal Wrestling Federation out of Louisiana, formerly Mid-South Wrestling. Momentum changed quickly when the Fabulous Freebirds left WCCW for the UWF and immediately began programs with greats such as Ted DiBiase, Dr. Death Steve Williams and eventually Eddie Gilberts stable, which included Sting and Rick Steiner. By that time, Blade Runner Rock would move to WCCW becoming the Dingo Warrior under Gary Hart before Vince lured him to the dark side, thus becoming The Ultimate Warrior. Sting stayed loyal to the growing fan base in the south, a move that would lead him into NWA/WCW, where the Sting phenomena would roll for another 15 years. Clashes with Lex Luger, The Great Muta, Ric Flair and the other Horsemen made Sting an instant star. I remember specifically the 'Black Scorpion' angle, which truly began the 'mind-game' era in pro wrestling (The Black Scorpion turned out to be Flair).
This, in my opinion, is where things in WCW heated up, and Sting played a central figure in the legendary NWO angle. Hyping Hulk Hogan vs Sting was easy, and pulling it off at Starrcade 1997 under his new 'Crow' gimmick was going to be a way for WCW to measure up against the increasingly popular 'Attitude'-era WWE. It worked, Sting became a bigger star than ever, and the NWO had their most formidable enemy.
The angle would go on too long, however, with Sting becoming a member of NWO/Wolfpack, leading to an eventual (brief) heel turn. Feuds with Goldberg, Nash, Luger and others would be the only bright spot in the fading WCW. When Vince bought them out, Sting moved on. Fans speculated whether or not he would finally head to WWE, but it never happened.
It was no surprise that Sting came to TNA, the surprise is that he stayed through it all. TNA management, specifically Jeff Jarrett knew that bringing in Sting to mentor the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode and James Storm, would steer the company in the right direction. It worked, and it continues to work. It was heartbreaking to see the look on Sting's face during Victory Road a few years ago when he was forced to work a quick 'main event' against the 'barely-able-to-compete' Jeff Hardy. There was pain there, disappointment and anguish from the star who himself was ecstatic about a main event match with the Enigma. Sting pushed for TNA to re-sign Hardy, and you could see it in his eyes that night that he may have regretted that decisionh.
NWA, WCW and TNA have tried to turn Sting heel, and it never worked. As the Road Warrior-wannabe in UWF, Sting was a feared heel, but once that angle faded and fans got to see the real Steve Borden, they loved him then, they love him now, and his true fans will love him forever.
Some of Sting's most notable rivalries include,
Eddie Gilbert/Terry Taylor
This was one of Sting's first real feuds, having been a subservient to Gilbert and his 'associate' Missy Hyatt, he was picked alive after Gilberts betrayal and alignment with Terry Taylor during a UWF TV Title match. After being saved by that late/great Gentleman Chris Adams, Sting tuned face as he and Adams feuded with Taylor and Hot Stuff International over the UWF Tag Team Titles.
Lex Luger
Most people viewed the two as best friends who fought the NWO together in the late 1990's, but truth-be-told, the two had some of the more athletic and brutal matches in pro wrestling history. Feuding, and then teaming, on and off until their post-WCW stint in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico.
The Great Muta
From a pure wrestling standpoint, this was Sting's best feuds. In the 1990's, these two would go onto to have some of the most entertaining matches in NWA/WCW history, here and in New Japan. Not only were their matches legendary, the few times they tagged together were awesome displays of athletic ability, something seen in WWE during that time.
Hollywood Hogan/NWO
The angle between Sting and the newly-formed NWO is one that still gets talked about to this day. It was the transformation from the 'good guy/surfer' Sting to the much darker 'Crow' image. Hiding in the rafters, he brought nightmares to Randy Savage and the rest of the NWO, before winning the title from Hollywood Hogan at Starrcade 97.
Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen
This feud was more about Flair and the NWA/WCW World Title than about the rest of the Horseman. To make a long story short, Sting was another talent recruited to replace Ole Anderson in the Horsemen, only to be betrayed when he challenged for Flair's World TItle. He and Flair would go on to have some of the best matches in pro wrestling history, with many ending in time-limit draws. Quite honestly, the TNA match between Sting and Flair was something that I wish had never happened for many reasons that I choose not to go into right now. To me, late 80's, early 90's Flair-Sting match-ups were on par with Flair/Ricky Streamboat, Steamboat/Randy Savage or any match featuring Curt Hennig.
Let me go on record and say that I am one of the few fans out there who hope that Sting retires from TNA without ever setting foot in a WWE ring. For one, does anyone believe that an Undertaker/Sting match-up at Wrestlemania would only end up with the continuation of 'The Streak.' Does any true wrestling fan believe that Vince McMahon would go in any other direction? Does anyone really believe that he could challenge for the WWE Title, WHC, or even the Intercontinental Title? A run at the US Title (which is he very familiar with) would just tarnish his image.
The End?
Sting is no longer at the top of his game, and has not been for a long time, but he still has the ability to get in the ring against some of the most talented workers in the industry and dazzle us with his spirit, enthusiasm and integrity. His presence in TNA is critical in their building process, and his presence among some of the younger stars like Wes Briscoe, Christian York and Garrett Bischoff. The only thing he would do in WWE is make Vince quick money, while also being buried by whomever he chooses to make an example out of 'The Icon.' TNA is in a position to keep him as long as he wants to stay and in whatever capacity he feels comfortable with, made obvious by his Hall of Fame introduction. Even a one match deal with WWE could tarnish what he has spent his career building.
Time may be running out for Sting. For the time being, I'm going to enjoy the emerging storyline between the New Main Event Mafia and the Aces & Eights. As TNA looks to for a push in the ratings, I hope to see a lot more from the Icon in the coming weeks and months. Because, when Sting decides to hang it up, expect him to do it the same way he performed for us- with grace, dignity, appreciation and the faith that can be read through the face-paint.

The Dos and Don'ts of getting a port {WoW}
Dec 23rd 2008 3:19PM I think he called you a troll because 'retard' is politically incorrect. A mage isn't the shopkeeper in a portal store. Unless they're spamming portals for sale in trade, there's an expectation of some common courtesy when you interrupt whatever they're doing.
The Dos and Don'ts of getting a port {WoW}
Dec 23rd 2008 2:57PM I'm quite generous with my tips, although it's generally only once per toon to set hearth to the highest level city. I just go to Org and whisper the first high level mage I see between the AH and mailbox. "can I buy a port to Dalaran?" has always been sufficient, unless they're afk. On my main I tipped 20g because it was a big event for me and signified some effort on the mage's part to be leveled, on subsequent toons I've been tipping 10g, just because. All but once the simply invited and opened the port without asking how much or waiting for it up front, and I opened trade as they were casting. One time the mage immediately responded "5g", so that's all he got.
Forum post of the day: Table plz {WoW}
Jul 9th 2008 3:18PM @ Pål
Do you even comprehend that you just reinforced what people are saying about mages? Look up primadonna in the dictionary - to paraphrase your post, "I won't contribute to the group until they sufficiently please me." They have to not only ask for a table, but ask nicely enough that you grant their wish? Nobody should have to ask before you perform your role ... putz.
Forum post of the day: Table plz {WoW}
Jul 9th 2008 2:15PM Mages seem to have become the primadonnas of WoW. My priest blows 24 reagents each and
every AV, that's over 2 gold per round. Do you see anyone asking for fort buffs? Not
likely because they already have them - I like my team to be as strong as possible. And
I don't do it for the thank yous or attention, I genuinely enjoy contributing to my
team regardless of recognition. It's pretty clear people feel the need to smother mages in thank you's when they can be bothered to drop a table and I understand full well that mages need a little extra patting to keep them interested in team play... So keep kissing their asses if it gets me biscuits, that means more prolific heals and buffing for all of you.
The argument that people should have their own food is moronic. We all have our own
food, but it makes the team stronger to have a greater supply. A person is a lot more likely to top off their health or mana every time they have a non-battle moment when it's free and convenient to do so. When I have a huge amount of biscuits I'll buff everyone in sight, every time we're not in battle, then sit and recover that mana. Same for dropping renews on everyone in range with the slightest loss of health. If I have to dip into my more limited and costly supply of water I don't go that extra mile.
I'm not sure if some mages are lazy, cheap, or ignorant - but too many of them have a real chip on their shoulder about dropping tables. Biscuits help the team and sometimes you can go several rounds before finding a mage that is a team player. After extended periods of triple buffing the raid and seeing multiple mages do nothing of the sort, it gets to the point where I wish I could remove the buffs I gave them, but again I'm a team player so their sorry asses go into the fight with the best support I can give them - clueless all the while and probably mumbling under their breath about selfish and demanding teammates who had the nerve to request a table /rolleyes
Racism in arena names {WoW}
May 13th 2008 3:23PM Comedy is disrespectful - you must be very sad when you watch Letterman or Family Guy. Sure the name is in bad taste and will offend legions of fat white nerds who think they're defending something, but I'm more offended by the author's ignorant accusations that everyone involved in that team are racists and so are their "racist friends".
Same stupid argument all over again, what'll we get offended about today, religion, race, the word "gay"? Unclench, or do you intend to carry your chair around with you every time you stand up?
Curse launches oddly familiar WoW database {WoW}
Feb 5th 2008 11:23AM What's with the constant fellating of Wowhead by WowInsider? I've always found Wowwiki, Allakazam, and even Thottbot to be superior. Who cares if a second rate site is getting copied.
Reasoning out 2.3 patch timing {WoW}
Nov 6th 2007 3:54PM Blizz hasn't said anything about giving us notice, that's the arena season 3 you're thinking of and it isn't tied to patch 2.3. It'll be out within a week or 2, they don't push the content to pre-download unless it's close.
Money money money by the pound {WoW}
Oct 29th 2007 8:47PM Another tip to get you over that dry spell - between 1000 and 2000g it seems that 5000g is just unattainable, that you'll run out of energy getting there. What I did (and so did a co-worker I suggested it to):
Have a fire sale. Everything must go. All those random obects you've been saving, all those enchanting mats, all that incredibly useful stuff you've packratted away. Sell it. Sell that extra spellcloth or mooncloth or whatever. Dump those primals onto the market.
You make a sick amount of money, and the beauty of it is, you can BUY IT BACK. When you need any of those fantastic items, you can find one on the AH and at worst you're paying a tiny markup over what yours sold for. But if you have your epic flyer earning gold is now very very easy, so who cares.
Sell your crap, sell your valuables. Get your epic flyer. Make crazy cash and buy wtf-ever you want. This got me from 2000g to about 3500g mainly from hoarded primal shadows (cleverly bought before the drop rate got nerfed), spellcloth/mooncloth, and enchanting mats, yes ALL of them except 1 stack of each outland one.
If you ahve trouble selling anything just use the current AH prices. Don't go by auctioneer, just look at current market value, undercut it, sell. I perpetually had 3 stacks of 2 greater planars on the AH, and various sizes of arcane dust, replacing them whenever they sold. Same for spellcloth, 2 singles at a time, and they kept on selling until that 10-stack had transformed into 500g. And guess what, my mage dutifully kept cranking out spellcloth and only had to wait an extra week or two for his spellcloth set. Also once the cash was flowing (epic mount) it was easier to just buy the required primal fires than to grind them out.
Money money money by the pound {WoW}
Oct 29th 2007 8:32PM Pick up mining and do your dailies.
There are 4 in ogri'la and 2 in skettis, which was 78g direct cash when i was doing them. So add in the random drops (fire elementals in ogri'la, cloth etc.., a green or three) and it's 100g a day. These can be done in an hour (I had ogri'la down to 30 minutes for all 4 over lunch break)
So that's balpark 700g a week from ONLY the dailies. Assuming you do any other questing or farming you can easily bump that up to 1000g a week. That's 5 weeks for an epic mount doing an hour of dailies and maybe an extra hour or two a week of farming.
Mining is just gravy, but it comes into play mainly after your epic mount. Once you're in netherwing the gold flows like water. There are more dailies in a more concentrated area. Do mining as you do your booterang (and ore) quest and it's just free money. I was back over 2000g in what felt like a matter of days.
The ore nodes that drop the special turn-in only ore for netherwing also drop the usual node goodies, expect lots of primal earth and primal fire, with a bonus blue gem every day or two (there's another 50g windfall). Because they are quest ore nodes they respawn quickly and are plentiful. It was so easy to make money I found myself doing so many circuits of netherwing island that I was afraid I had OCD, I just couldn't stop making free cash. Stack upon stack of adamantite and even the turn-in ore vendors for 3g a stack.
Say hello to epiced out lowbie alts, because money is no object. Hell I bought 11 50g-ish gems with +spell hit for my mage simply because I wanted him to have more +hit rolling into Kara. And there's another moneymaker, a 2nd 70 doing his 100g of dailies :) I simply don't have the time to collect all that cash...

Cal City's push for $145K pension for part-time lawyer rejected
BY ANDREW SCHROEDTER December 25, 2012 5:38PM
Dennis George Gianopolus, attorney and owner of the Dennis G. Gianopolus P.C. Law offices, Lansing, Illinois
Article Extras
Updated: January 27, 2013 6:19AM
Calumet City's push for a six-figure government pension for its part-time attorney — a friend and supporter of Mayor Michelle Markiewicz Qualkinbush — has been rejected by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.
Dennis Gianopolus, a top attorney for Calumet City and Chicago Heights, was in line to collect a six-figure pension from the IMRF when he retires.
Pensions covered by the retirement fund typically go to municipal employees or elected officials who work at least 600 hours a year.
But Gianopolus doesn't meet those criteria, according to the pension fund, which, prompted by questions from the Better Government Association, determined that:
◆ Gianopolus doesn't work full-time for either municipality. He's an outside contractor who maintains a private law practice in Lansing.
◆ His positions with Calumet City and Chicago Heights don't "meet the 600-hour standard."
Calumet City officials had maintained that Gianopolus is an "officer" and a salaried employee of the city and thus entitled to a government pension.
If its position had been upheld, he would have been in line for a taxpayer-subsidized pension estimated around $145,000 a year.
"You will not be entitled to a pension based upon your service with Calumet City or Chicago Heights," Kathy O'Brien, the pension fund's general counsel, said in a letter to Gianopolus.
Gianopolus, who declined to comment for this story, has filed an appeal with the pension fund that will be heard at a hearing that has not yet been scheduled. The appeal will go before the fund's benefit review committee and then to the fund's board, according to Linda Horrell, a spokeswoman for the fund.
Calumet City had approved a pension sweetener that could have boosted Gianopolus' benefits by a total of $2 million over the course of his retirement.
Gianopolus became Calumet City's city prosecutor in 2001 and the south suburb's corporation counsel in 2003. At the time, the city prosecutor job was a salaried position that made him eligible for a pension. Gianopolus was classified as an independent contractor for the corporation counsel post, which carried an hourly salary and no pension.
In 2010, Qualkinbush and the City Council made the corporation counsel job a salaried position paying $240,000 a year and reclassified the city prosecutor post as an independent contractor with about the same pay as before — about $25,000 a year.
The moves could have proven to be lucrative for the 53-year-old Gianopolus, who also serves as Chicago Heights' city prosecutor, a post that pays about $24,000 a year, because higher pay translates to a higher pension.
Qualkinbush didn't return messages seeking comment. Chicago Heights Mayor David Gonzalez also couldn't be reached.
If the decision to reject his pension stands, Gianopolus likely would be reimbursed for payments he's made to the fund covering a small portion of any future pension payout.

"This dressing recipe is out of this world good! It's great on crispy salad greens, or used as a dip for fresh veggies, I also love it on fish in place of tartar sauce. I used it on a macaroni salad I made over the weekend (in place of mayo) and we couldn't get enough of it! I agree with Michelle S. in that the dill was a little bit over-powerin..."

The Denver Project. Created by Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz of New York's UNIVERSES, this is an attempt to bring the realities of life on the streets to us, the well-fed patrons of Curious, to show that the homeless constitute a society and culture of their own, one that abuts our everyday world but that we rarely see. The play tells us that homeless people are as varied as any other group — some kindly, thoughtful and protective, others willing to kill a fellow transient for his meager belongings. The play both succeeds and fails in this mission. The successful elements include the innovative use of song, music and rhythm, beginning with an astonishing intro consisting almost entirely of snuffling, hawking and spitting as several homeless people slowly wake up under a bridge. The characters don't attempt to persuade us; they don't posture, whine or apologize, and they have nothing to say about the kinds of arguments polite society usually raises. They just carry on with their lives. If we're moved to empathy, it's less because we identify with any individual character than because we've become engulfed in their reality, a world where choices are few — and almost all of them bad. Tyee Tilghman's performance is a triumph. He plays a hardened street person attempting to help Skully, a violent, troubled teenager (played with effective straightforwardness and honesty by Akil LuQman), and he does it with toughness and heart. But the moral lesson at the center of the play is a little too pat, and some of the dialogue is stereotypical — the country club guy, for instance, who voices all the usual smug cliches about homelessness, the social worker who harangues us about the unacceptability of poverty.

The Last Five Years. This intimate two-person musical involves the breakup of a marriage. When Jamie and Cathy met in New York, he was an aspiring writer and she an actress. Success came for him fast, while she continued to inhabit the dreary, ego-pummeling world of auditions and summer stock — with predictable results for their relationship. The songs — solos, with one exception — reveal a triumphant Jamie noticing his effect on other women and fighting the desire to utilize it, with a sulky Cathy refusing to attend his publishing party. He resents her neediness and insecurity, she his arrogance and self-involvement. Playwright Jason Robert Brown has hit on an interesting device to make this relatively commonplace story more poignant and more complex: While Jamie relates events as they happened, Cathy reveals them backwards. At the very beginning, she weeps over Jamie's goodbye letter, and minutes later, he erupts onto the scene singing rapturously about the "shiksa goddess" he's just met. Chris Crouch and Shannan Steele are both terrific performers, brimming with energy, poised and charismatic, possessed of lovely, expressive voices. Crouch makes Jamie real and funny and quirky, and Steele is often touching as Cathy — though I wish both would avoid that awful, dissolving-into-self-pitying-tears style that's come to dominate singing in musicals these days. Still, this is an emotionally exuberant production, staged in a smooth, comfortable style, and enjoyable even though it's far from thought-provoking.

Side Show. Amid the thunderous chords of the first number, "Come Look at the Freaks," the Phamaly cast assembles, singing and forming a ragged circle at the perimeter of the stage. They're looking at you, calmly assessing: you, sitting comfortably in your plush seat, you whose muscles move smoothly over bone, whose voice emerges from your throat uncracked, and whose body responds unhesitatingly to your barely conscious demands. Perhaps it's you who's the freak, their varied expressions seem to say, because of what you don't know, and the blind, heedless way you barrel through your life, complaining when the bus is late or your coffee's a little bitter. Enter two beautiful young women in flaxen wigs sharing a wheelchair. Side Show tells the story of Daisy and Violet Hilton, real-life conjoined twins born in 1908 who gained fame as vaudeville performers, and it really resonates here because all of the Phamaly actors are disabled. The script rescues the sisters from a freak show, and they're set on the road to fame by Terry and Buddy, a couple of impresarios. Daisy, who longs for recognition, falls in love with Terry, and Violet with his friend, but complications arise as the two men contemplate the complexities of a relationship in which moments alone with your beloved are simply not possible. If you take away the fact that the protagonists are conjoined twins, the plot is pretty conventional: Attractive young women find fame, but love remains elusive. Many of the songs are conventional, too, although some of them really pop. Steve Wilson has mounted a first-rate and exhilarating production, but this is far more than a regular evening of theater. It tells us something about how we live together on this earth we share, and just what it means to be human.

In an uplifting story out of Miami-Dade County Florida, an on-duty police officer caught Jessica Robles in the parking lot of a South Florida Publix with $300 worth of unpaid for groceries. Officer Vicki Thomas says she stopped the mother of three and "I asked her, 'Why would you do that? What would make you do that?" The surprisingly candid reply came, "My children are hungry."
Robles' explanation that she had stolen the food out of desperation seemed sincere to the officer, who ran Robles' record, found nothing major in her criminal history, noting specifically that she was not a repeat shoplifter.
So Thomas did not arrest Robles.
She charged her with a misdemeanor and issued her a notice to appear in court. According to Robles, Thomas asked, "'Do you even have food at the house?' And I looked at her in her face, and I told her, 'Not at all.'" It was a surprise when Thomas "went in and bought her some groceries." Thomas later said, "I made the decision to buy her some groceries because arresting her wasn't going to solve the problem with her children being hungry,"
Thomas helped Robles get the groceries to her house. "To see them go through the bags when we brought them in, it was like Christmas," she said. "That $100 to me was worth it."
Robles and her children, are being supported by her now-unemployed boyfriend, and were strapped when an alleged paperwork problem interrupted their federal assistance. Robles, who is looking for work, later thanked the officer through the media saying, "All I wanted to tell her is thank you from the bottom of my heart." In tears, her eldest child, Anais said, "Thank you so very much for doing it for us, and we're very thankful."
Though the looks on the children's faces was enough payment for her good deed, Thomas did have one condition, "The only thing I asked of her is, when she gets on her feet, that she help someone else out," she said, "and she said she would."

Lightning – Recognizing the threat. Apply the 30-30 rule: When you see lightning, count the time until you hear thunder. If this time is 30 seconds or less, seek proper shelter. If you can't see the lightning, just hearing the thunder is a good back-up rule. Wait 30 minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before leaving shelter. Referees must protect the safety of all participants by stopping game activities quickly, so that participants and spectators may retire to a safer place before the lightning threat becomes significant. Remember, if you can hear the thunder, you are within reach of lightning.

Staff Report
At the end of a hearing that brought even the judge to tears, a Rutland man who pleaded guilty to driving negligently in a crash that killed two people in Bridgewater was sentenced to 30 days in jail, a two year loss of his driver's license, $2,000 in fines and 400 hours of community service.
Joshua Ouimette, 26, pleaded guilty today in White River Junction criminal court to two misdemeanor charges of negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
The judge's decision to accept Ouimette's plea to the misdemeanor charges, which carried a potential maximum sentence on each charge of up to one year in jail, spared Ouimette the possibility of facing a pair of felony negligent operation charges that could have sent him to jail for up to 30 years.
Ouimette was initially charged with the serious offenses after police concluded he was speeding and not paying attention when the 2004 GMC Envoy he was driving on Route 4 swerved into the oncoming lane and collided with a 2001 Ford Escape driven by Christopher Raleigh, 56, of Las Vegas, Nev.
Christopher Raleigh and his 10-year-old son were killed in the crash and his wife, Anastasia Raleigh was seriously injured and required long months of physical rehabilitation.
Noting that no criminal sentence would restore the lives lost in the crash, Judge Katherine Hayes said the plea deal that Ouimette had agreed to with prosecutors was a fair resolution based his lack of criminal record, the testimony of family members and employers who spoke at the hearing and the obvious regret showed by Ouimette who openly wept as he apologized to the Raleigh family.
Ouimette will be serving his sentence on weekends, starting Friday when he scheduled to begin his sentence at the Rutland jail.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure. Full Story -

An ex-Spring-Hill-Florida man, who hanged himself several weeks ago, seems to have become mummified in such a way that a cleaning crew mistook his corpse for a life-size dummy and dumped him in the landfill. Thanks to vigilant landfill workers, the mistake was rectified and police alerted to investigate.
On May 7, 1896, serial killer H.H. Holmes was hanged. Even at the noose, he changed his story stating that he only killed two people although he'd previously confessed to 27. The trapdoor under his feet opened at 10:13 a.m. and H.H. Holmes met his end.
The prisons department of Sri Lanka is seeking a dynamic individual to fill the position of Hangman. It seems that out of 176 applicants for the position last year, the top-two, who were hired, just stopped showing up for work, and the last guy took one look at the gallows and got so upset he quit.

Budget 2012: Why we are not "all in it together"
Today's budget announcement by George Osborne gave further evidence to contradict the government's fallacy that "we are all in it together".
The chancellor used the budget to continue his attacks on the poorest in society while giving even more tax breaks to high earners and big corporations.
The biggest news to come from today's budget was the decision to cut the top rate of income tax from 50% to 45% on earnings over £150,000. To put the giveaway into context, the cut will equate to a £5,000 tax reduction for somebody earning £250,000 and £42,500 for somebody earning £1million. Osborne chose to give a low profile to his plans that will actually fund the cut. During the Budget statement Osborne claimed the giveaway would be funded by an increase in stamp duty on properties over £2m, but the figures just don't add up. The tax cut will actually be funded by the chancellor's continued attacks on welfare, with £10bn worth of further cuts planned, and his surprising decision to hit pensioners for £3.5bn. Hidden away in the budget were the decisions to scrap income tax breaks for pensioners while also freezing age-related benefits for around 5 million pensioners.
It comes as little surprise that the 50p tax rate has been reduced: the Tories have wanted the rate reduced since they came to power but have been waiting for the right time and now they have the Lib Dems on their side in their mission to help out the wealthiest in society. The Lib Dems have carried out yet another U-turn, following up their backing of the increase in tuition fees and the decision to back the destruction of the NHS with this latest move. It was only last year that senior Lib Dem ministers publicly argued against the tax break. Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander appeared on the Andrew Marr Show last summer dismissing the idea of scrapping the rate while stating that Conservatives calling for the removal were living in "cloud cuckoo land". Here's what Nick Clegg had to say about it in November last year: "I do not believe that the priority at a time like that is to give a tax cut to a tiny, tiny number of people who are much, much better off than anyone else."
As well as Osborne's gift to high earning individuals he has also announced yet another tax giveaway to large corporations by reducing corporation tax to 24% (not that many of the large multinationals actually pay the full amount). This will be followed by a further 1% reduction in 2013 and 2014 bringing corporation tax down to 22%. This move means that a business with a multimillion pound profit will only be required to pay 22% tax, only 2% more than someone on minimum wage paying 20% income tax.
The Government have tried to claim that it is a fair budget, with Osborne quoting Adam Smith and Clegg even going as far as calling it a "Robin Hood Budget". Labour Leader Ed Milliband summed it up well in his budget response: "After today's Budget, millions will be paying more while millionaires pay less." He went on to add: "Only the Lib Dems could be dumb enough to think George Osborne's Budget is a Robin Hood Budget – Calamity Clegg strikes again." The government have tried to stress the fairness of the budget, arguing that raising the personal tax allowance helps those at the bottom. However, research carried out by the IFS shows that the tax change is a regressive move and benefits the rich rather than the poor. See graph below.
The budget follows Monday's announcement that the minimum wage is to be frozen for 16-20 year olds and last week's findings by the Office of National Statistics that 270,000 posts were cut from the public sector in 2011 (equating to around 740 jobs a day) including over 30,000 in the NHS and 71,000 in education.
Today's budget statement reaffirms the argument that it is the mass of working class that are paying off the deficit caused by the excesses and greed of the richest few.

It's the start of a new year and the start of a new month of Netflix Instant releases. January brings all 10 seasons of 'Friends' to the streaming service, as well as some old classics and new favorites, and several new seasons of television for you to binge-watch as needed. Ready your queues and read on for our guide to the newest releases hitting Netflix Instant in January 2015.
Following today's release of a message sent from the mysterious group responsible for the massive Sony hack, the company has now informed theater owners that they can opt out of screening 'The Interview' if they are concerned about the terrorist threat. Although the Department of Homeland Security responded by saying they could find "no credible info" on planned attacks, Sony has decided to place the decision to screen the film in the hands of theater executives.
Lauren Bacall, the legendary actress who gave us memorable performances in classic films like 'Key Largo' and 'How to Marry a Millionaire,' has sadly passed away at the age of 89. A talented woman who appeared in many films in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Bacall was a true silver screen icon.
Released in 1988, 'Scrooged' was a darkly comedic take on Charles Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol,' starring Bill Murray in the Ebenezer Scrooge role as Frank Cross, a cynical TV executive alienated from his family and unable to find real happiness. Struggling to put together a live production of 'A Christmas Carol' on Christmas Eve, Frank finds that his real life begins to resemble the story he's producing as three ghosts visit him throughout the evening to try and get him to change his ways before it's too late.
The film took Murray from battling ghosts in 'Ghostbusters' to learning lessons from them, and over time it's become a holiday comedy classic. 25 years later, we take a look back at the cast of the film and see where they are now.
Warner Bros. has apparently looked at its DVD shelf and randomly selected '60s TV series 'Gilligan's Island' as the next property to get the big-screen modernization. The studio has chosen to polish off the property and give it a go with 'Jobs' and 'Book of Mormon' star Josh Gad, who will co-write and star in the film adaptation. And it should be a pretty easy, paint-by-numbers job since the roles and plot are all spelled out in the theme song.
It is with heavy hearts that we bring you this tragic news at the end of the holiday weekend -- 'Fast and Furious' star Paul Walker has passed away at the age of 40. Walker, who was working on 'Fast and Furious 7' with Vin Diesel and director James Wan, was killed in a car explosion in California on Saturday afternoon.

Personalised Coach Number Plates
There are many people who have personalised number plates put on their cars. They may have been saving up for this car for a long time or it may have been a gift for a milestone birthday and the personalised number plates often reflect this.
Many company vehicles also have personalised number plates on them as a form of additional advertising and it also allows them to quickly identify the place of a particular vehicle in the companys fleet.
Regardless of this, coach hire companies are one of the few companies with fleets of vehicles which dont tend to have personalised number plates for their coaches. Number plates as an advertising medium are actually very small and for a coach hire company, their name will rarely abbreviate to letters which will fit onto a personalised number plate.
Even if the name doesnt quite fit onto the plates, a company may still squeeze on an abbreviation and we have all seen the fleet vehicles with personalised number plates which we have spent all the time sitting at the traffic lights behind them trying to decipher the name of the company.
Personalised number plates are also more expensive to register than ordinary plates and if a coach hire company already has higher fuel and maintenance costs for their specialised coaches, they often dont want the added cost of a fleet of personalised plates.
When personalising number plates, you can also often choose the colours of the background and the lettering and many companies have the colour of their plates match their company colours. However, coach hire companies try to ensure that as many of their coaches as possible are neutral as this ensures that all of their coaches can secure the maximum amount of work.
Many coach hire companies also like to ensure their coaches are as neutral as possible as they get a lot of funeral work and personalised colourful number plates may not always be appropriate for such a sombre occasion.
For more information about hiring a coach which is suitable for your next occasion from the windshield to the number plates and everything in between, contact Coach Broker now.
Some coach hire companies use their personalised number plates as extra advertising while others perfer to remain professional all over |
Please note: Coach Broker do not own coaches, we connect you with the providers.

What you can do with puppy linux is make a pup-save file , That's what it wants to do when you shut down and it ask you if you want to save. You can get a usb flash drive and put the save file on that , You will need to boot with the cd still. When it loads it will load the pup-save file and everything you have installed or saved with be loaded up also.

My arguta "anna" kiwi set fruit for the first year and I am curious about when you can tell the fruit is ready to eat. I checked one yesterday and it was still not very--bitter and a bit crunchy. Some are starting to turn a bit red on the shoulders.
I'm not opposed to letting them dangle from the vines past first picking opportunities, but the heat here is sapping the vines as they send all their "oomph" to the fruit, and I'd like to let them recover a bit. (They've not created enough shade for themselves to keep from suffering when it gets into the 90s.) I will be posting this on the fruit and orchard forum also. Thanks in advance.

Maybe you already got an answer. I found one fruit that had been knocked off quite green on the ground some time ago, and it was soft, so I ate it. It tasted sweet. I think like most fruit it is better to pick it ripe so the sugars have developed but that if picked hard for storage purposes it will eventually soften so you can eat it. Perhaps that would be good if you had a lot of fruit to store, like pears. |
I try to pick mine slightly "green" and ripen them in a basket in the kitchen for a few days. I found that if I wait for them to fully soften on the vine they have a tougher skin. |
