After looking at an old post from cactusfreak, it looks like there maybe some different forms. If you're out there cactus freak I'd really like to know how your C.giganteas from 3 different sources looks now. I can't decide what source to order from, but will probally try to find a proven hardy one.
How many different giganteas are there?. Nature Products has one, and if I remember right it has purplish stems. They sell seed, but I hear it is hard to germinate. |

Cubs young shortstop Javier Baez waits in the wings
BY MARK POTASH email@example.com March 4, 2013 10:39PM
The Chicago Cubs Javier Baez strikes out during an intersquad game at HoHoKam Stadium in Mesa, AZ on Thursday, February 21, 2013. | Brian Powers~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
MESA, Ariz. — Javier Baez has a quick bat and a lot to learn.
The Cubs' 20-year-old shortstop is unfazed by the competition of major-league training camps — he hit a home run and drove in three runs against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. But big-league training camps aren't fazed by him, either. He strikes out. He gets fooled by offspeed pitches. And the home run came against a fringe pitcher who might not be in the big leagues this season.
He's not lacking for confidence. ''It's the same game,'' he said when asked about facing big-league pitchers. ''I've got to get used to it.''
He will. Or he should. Baez, the ninth overall pick in the 2011 major-league draft, is ranked the 16th-best prospect by both Baseball America and mlb.com. And so far, he doesn't appear out of his league.
''It feels great,'' said Baez, who grew up in Puerto Rico but went to high school in Jacksonville, Fla. ''I'm young. I'm already in the big-league camp. So it feels pretty good.''
But his job in spring training with the Cubs is the same as any other 20-year-old kid in a big-league camp: observe, listen and learn. It takes more than a quick bat to get to the show. And the good news is that Baez seems to have a grasp of that concept. He's honing his immense baseball skills, and learning how to be a professional.
''I learn a lot of things from [Alfonso] Soriano, [Darwin] Barney, [Starlin] Castro,'' he said. ''If I'm doing something wrong, they tell me how to do it better.''
Soriano in particular is a mentor for Baez, who hit .333 for the Cubs' Class A team in Peoria, but .188 for the high-A team at Daytona.
''If he sees you doing something lazy or not doing it right, he'll tell you to do it the right way. Every time,'' Baez said. ''If he goes to the weight room and I'm not in there, he sends somebody to get me. He takes care of me. He's not doing it in a bad way, but in a good way. So I just follow him everywhere.''
The Cubs want Baez to grow as quickly as he can, but they're not pushing him — especially with an All-Star-caliber shortstop already in the 22-year-old Castro.
''Javy's still so young,'' Cubs player development executive Jason McLeod said. ''He's only played three months of a full season. He's going to ultimately decide [when he reaches the major leagues]. He loves to work. The plan for him is to get a full season under his belt. We've addressed some things [we] think he needs to work on to fully develop his entire game.''
For Baez, it's a matter of discipline to get in shape and stay in shape. He does a 15-minute workout — exercise bike, stretching and weight-lifting — before batting practice. The biggest thing he's learned as a professional? ''How to do my routine every day without someone telling me, 'Javier, you've got to do this. Javier, you've got to do that,' '' he said. ''Now I do my own thing.''
Castro knows the competition is coming.
''He's real good,'' Castro said.
Better than you?
''I don't know,'' he replied. ''But he's good.''
The Cubs will deal with the logjam when it occurs. Baez is willing to move. He could play third or second. He likes center field, his position in high school before to moving to shortstop as a senior.
But it will be a non-issue. With a bat that quick, he's a hitter first.
''I don't really care about position,'' Baez said. ''I just want to be in the lineup.''
KIDS ROCKED: Cubs starter Alberto Cabrera allowed five runs and seven hits in 22/3 innings Monday, including home runs to Lonnie Chisenhall and Mark Reynolds. Even most of the outs were hit hard. Cabrera was relieved by Brooks Raley after getting Matt Carson on a fly to the fence in right. Cabrera retired seven of the 15 batters he faced. Raley, a lefty, didn't fare much better, allowing five runs (four earned) and six hits in 21/3 innings. Minor-league pitcher Tyrelle Harris allowed three runs in his only inning.
COLEMAN SHARP: Casey Coleman finally stemmed the tide of the Tribe, allowing no runs on three hits, with no walks and two strikeouts in two innings. Minor-league pitcher Marcus Hatley pitched a scoreless ninth.
CHAVEZ GOES DEEP: Johermyn Chavez, a 24-year-old right fielder, hit a home run off top-rated Indians prospect Trevor Bauer (the third overall pick in the 2011 draft) in the eighth. Chavez also threw out a runner at second base on a hit to right.
HURLER KEEPS ON TICKIN': Indians starter Carlos Carrasco stayed in the game after he was hit in the head by Darnell McDonald's line drive in the first inning. The ball deflected off Carrasco's glove first, but it was a pretty good shot. The Indians' trainer spent several minutes with Carrasco on the mound before he was allowed to stay in the game. ''We made him pass every test there was,'' Indians manager Terry Francona said. ''Even after the inning, we took him up to the clubhouse and really put him through a real good rundown of stuff.''
ON DECK: at Rockies, 2:10 p.m., in Scottsdale (mlb.com).

It's been a while since the last time I posted a dessert on this blog and that's because I haven't been eating many lately. With speedo season rapidly approaching I need to make sure to be in excellent shape to wear my new swimsuit, LOL. Yeah, call me vain, but if I don't take care of myself, nobody else is going to, right? :-p
Anyway, I an finally starting to see mangoes up here in Ohio and I couldn't resist to buy some on my last trip to the store. I used most of them for my breakfast bombas and fruit salads but I really wanted to use one to experiment with a new flan flavor. The result was the beautiful flan you see in these pictures.
- •1 14oz can condensed milk
- •1 16oz can evaporated milk
- •1 large mango (click here for a post on how to cut a mango)
- •4 oz cream cheese
- •1 TBSP vanilla extract
- •4 eggs
- •1/2 cup honey
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F
- Slightly heat a 10" round baking pan and pour honey. Swirl the pan to cover sides and bottom with the honey.
- Blend the rest of the ingredients together and pour into the pan.
- Pour about 1" of water into a larger pan, 11 or 12", and put the smaller one into it (bain marie). Cover with foil aluminum paper.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
- Put the baking pan on a wire rack and let it cool for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before unmolding.
- To unmold, put a plate on top of the pan facing down and flip the pan over and slide it off.
The afterthoughts:
- Flans are some of my favorite desserts to make because they are fast and easy to make and delicious treats. Mango and honey were a great combination for this one and I don't think there's anything I'd change.
¡Buen provecho!

I do not know how i can get speedo ready with this:-) if i lay my hands on this even u won't get a share. I love flans, mangoes just ROCK!!!! What a gorgeous picture.
I wouldn't wear a speedo even in my own bathtub, but to each their own I guess
Can't tell you how excited I am to try this recipe out. -
Oh boy I am loving this! Honey and mango in a panna cotta? Ben I think I do want to marry you LOL
That looks absolutely beautiful. Anything with mangoes gets my attention.
What a beautiful flan!
This looks beautiful Ben! I absolutely love mango's but it's still a bit too early here for them… I will have to wait a while!
Thank you Ben, for your response to my question. I love your flan, since I'm on a diet I'm going to make it for my husband, lovely. Thank you again
looks fabuloso!!
This would be a perfect way to try those mangos Ben:D
That looks amazing!

I'm going to be using this poem in a short story I'm working on, but I couldn't resist sharing it with you guys now, since anybody who has ever crushed on a straight boy or girl (or anyone that didn't return their feelings) should be able to identify with it.
To A Pale Prince
How can I begin
To say what can't be said?
I feel what can't be felt
And want what can't be had.
My head grows full of dreams
That soon are drowned with pain
My hopes reach to the sky
Then fall as evening rain.
What is it that I have?
What is it that I lack
That makes you draw so near
Then pull so swiftly back?
The question taunts my mind;
It burns into my soul.
I come so close it seems,
Yet never reach my goal.
There seems to be no clue,
No answer I can name.
I cannot win your love,
But love you all the same.
Pat Nelson Childs
March 1992
thats really good. . . im sure lots ppl can identify with it, includin me
make love not war . . . . or be abstinent and bomb everybody!!!!
also, happy holidays!!!!!!!

We should all age as gracefully as Charles Aznavour. At 74, the legendary French-Armenian singer and songwriter, who is performing a limited engagement (through Nov. 15) at the Marquis Theater, has a voice that, if anything, has gained in strength and emotive authority over the decades. Trim and dapper in a black suit, his white hair cut short, Mr. Aznavour exudes the electricity of a veteran pugilist with the soul of a mime. That voice, combined with body language, allows him to convey the emotional core of a song with a directness and clarity that transcend language.
Mr. Aznavour's art, so unlike that of most American popular singers, is one of containment. No other entertainer demonstrates more forcefully the power of stillness. The small, telling gesture, be it a ruffled vocal inflection, a hurried phrase, the flutter of a hand or a toss of the head, conveys a palpable voltage. Completing the chemistry is the texture of his voice, a vaguely cantorial tenor with a Middle Eastern rasp -- and a pulsing vibrato that implies a volatile temper under control.
Mr. Aznavour is more than anything a Gallic everyman. Most of his songs are about confronting life's joys and sorrows, especially the passage of time and the fading of youth, with an attitude of heroic stoicism.
The difference between Mr. Aznavour's performance of his most famous song, ''Yesterday When I Was Young,'' and Lena Horne's equally memorable rendition, speaks volumes about American popular song traditions versus the French chanson. Where Mr. Aznavour's version ends on a note of sad resignation, Ms. Horne's offers no hope, only endless bitterness.
In the directness with which they confront life's problems, Mr. Aznavour's ballads are comparable to American country songs, although their musical vocabulary is very different. His melodies ride on basic chromatic harmonies that belong to an unabashedly sentimental European tradition. As lushly as the songs are arranged (the singer is backed by about 20 musicians), they tend to have a cookie-cutter quality, with the melodies serving as mood-setting launching pads for Mr. Aznavour's monologues.
Those monologues range from the harrowing (''Je Bois,'' or ''I Drink''), to the mawkish (a man in love with a deaf-mute woman ). But even in the songs that go emotionally overboard, he finds a kernel of truth. The Aznavour songbook is a collection of fables that locate our common humanity in l'amour, which in French popular culture is more than just a part of life; it often seems to be the only thing that matters.
More than 30 years after his first Broadway stand, which opened in October 1965, French singer-songwriter Charles Aznavour has returned for a limited engagement at the Marquis, displaying the same suave showmanship and sensitive vocal style that long ago catapulted him into the category of living legend. In 1965, Variety described Aznavour as "a short, lean, lithe, dynamic man with thinning dark hair ... and the bright-eyed alertness and tension of a fox terrier." The thinning hair has turned to silver, and the tension is now tempered by a gentle resignation, but the 74-year-old Aznavour remains a vivid, spry and engaging performer, and his vocal resources are, astonishingly, scarcely diminished.
Aznavour, who has written hundreds of tunes in a songwriting career spanning 50 years, is performing a generous selection -- almost 30 -- in the current concert, about half in French and half in English translation, with a pair in Spanish thrown in to mix things up.
He's a specialist in chansons realistes, clear-eyed looks at love and loss that are tinged with a uniquely Gallic form of rue, and he performs with a distinctive blend of quiet, almost introverted intensity and Jolson-style theatrics. An actor with a long film career behind him, Aznavour pins dramatic little vignettes to the end of many of his songs, ending "What Makes a Man," for example, with a brief evocation of its drag-queen subject. In "Mon Emouvant Amour," the love of a man for his mute girlfriend miraculously skirts bathos. For "And I in My Chair," Aznavour enacts the delicate interplay between a young couple and the older man who observes them with sad sympathy.
The fleeting nature of romance and youth are his songs' primary themes, and it's surprising how much melodic and rhythmic variety he draws from them. "Je Bois" is a rolling, excoriating anthem to imbibing in which a man raises his glass to all his miseries, past, present and future. In "Sa Jeunesse," the singer again has drinking on the mind, in this cast vowing to drink in his lover's youth to the point of inebriation.
In Aznavour's regret-infused world -- perhaps best exemplified by his famous "Yesterday, When I Was Young," movingly rendered here -- summer is forever suddenly running away, and winter's always here to stay, and romance turns almost instantly to illusion before being swallowed by memory. It's the flip side of the American song standard, which presents a far sunnier view of love's horizons.
Accompanied by a small band supplemented by a 10-strong string section and a pair of breathy backup singers, Aznavour varied song tempos, with a boppy '50s song, a gypsy tune and some Vegas flavor jazzing up the evening's many quieter laments. His voice can still throb with energy when a high-energy finale is needed, but it's on the many more subdued tunes that Aznavour is most captivating, as he wanders between speech and song as if down a darkened, rain-slick Paris street, trailing cigarette smoke and regret.

The advantages of being rich are many. Being rich in money is something that many aspire to be. But being rich with lots of money may not bring the same satisfactions as being rich in experiences, friends or family. Nonetheless, the advantages of being rich include eliminating some concerns from your life. Being rich may eliminate a concern for housing since you could afford to buy a home that suited you needs without regard for cost. Other advantages of being rich are found in the unlimited choices presented when buying automobiles, furniture, clothes and food and funding the best college educations for your children. Being rich puts you in contact with other people who may or may not share your values.
Most people do not have all of the advantages of being rich. Budgets for daily living give way to economic pressures when you don't have the advantages of being rich. Even today, buying gasoline in the United States is an economic pressure not faced if you have the advantages of being rich. Being rich makes many day-to-day financial decisions moot. Being rich means that you have less to deal with as inflation erodes daily expenses.
Most people think there are only positive advantages of being rich. Being rich is deemed to be a totally positive condition. When asked, individuals who appear to have the advantages of being rich might tell you that there are some distinct disadvantages. They are besieged with requests from charitable organizations for donations. Being rich, they are exposed to people who want them to invest in various business ventures or simply want a handout of some sort or other. Being rich doesn't immunize you from the problems of the world. In fact being rich may make it easier to fall into dangerous habits that are destructive. The problems of alcoholism and drug abuse can arise as such substances are easy to obtain when money is so readily available and there is, perhaps, too much leisure time for people who do not have to work daily for a living. There are many kinds of marital difficulties among the rich and many rich people's children have significant problems which can be traced to the abuse of significant wealth. In short, the advantages of being rich are not always positive.

text: I've been lurking for a few weeks and decided to join. I'm a 29 yr old mother of 3. I lost a lot of weight after the last baby, I got down to 137.8. Now I'm at 150. I'm not happy. I know why, the every once in awhile binge and out to eat has finally added up despite the fact that I work out 5 days a week, I can't outwork the food. A week ago I decided to honker down and get to 135. I've gone from 154 to 150 but something just didn't feel right. I looked at my menu again and discovered my portions were not correct. I thought I was eating 300 calories of oatmeal but it was really about 420-570. I didn't realize I was using a cup instead of half a cup! I'm so bummed. I'm eating about 1200 calories a day and burn off about 200 on my treadmill a day, plus three kids 5 and under. How many calories is everyone else eating? Anyone doing 1200 and okay?

Description Through continual innovation the performance of controllers has increased by five to ten fold in the past three years. The cycle times of the controllers became increasingly shorter. The cycle times of the S7-300 controllers, for example, now frequently lie between 9ms and 16ms. The time left for the CPU to communicate with the HMI devices is therefore becoming ever shorter, because only a certain percentage of the total cycle time is available for communication. The percentage of the time the CPU uses for communication is a minimum of about 3.5% of a cycle time of 15ms.
The FC630 function is for improving the performance of HMI services. An SFC is called in the FC630, which increases the time assignment for the HMI services according to the value of the parameter TSx:
The TSx value increases the CPU cycle time by 6.25% per unit.
Evaluation of RET_VAL:
The valid factor is effective without any further modification until the power is switched off.
The "HMI" taskThe CPU program is executed in different tasks ("subprograms"). In the "HMI" task, the CPU communication with the HMI devices is controlled by the operating system (data acquisition, data processing, data transfer and data fetching). The "HMI" task has a certain portion of the cycle time allotted to it. If this time expires, the "HMI" task is interrupted and the CPU continues with its cyclic program processing. The "HMI" task can be interrupted by higher-priority tasks. Higher-priority tasks include time interrupts and delay interrupts, for example.
NoteThe FC630 cannot be used in S7-400 CPUs because there is not the requisite firmware support. Furthermore, HMI response times cannot be shortened because the "HMI" task already has the second highest priority in the S7-400 CPUs.
Difference between FC630 and the setting in the CPU properties (cycle load through communication)In the CPU properties there is also the "Cycle load through communication" parameter. This parameter only affects the CPU message traffic. The FC630 comes into effect early on at data acquisition and in processing the data, which is why the S7-300 CPU's cycle time can greatly extend itself if the FC630 is not handled properly.
Bus protocols for which you can use the FC630You can use the FC630 for communication via
Requirements before using FC630Since incorrect use of the FC630 can lead to malfunctions, in particular the CPU cycle time might increase enormously, you should check the following before using the FC630.
Note Via STEP 7 under "PLC > Diagnostics/Setting > Module status > Cycle time" you can read out of your module the longest, shortest and current cycle time since transition from STOP to RUN. Via the local data of the OB1 you can also read out the runtime of the previous cycle, the minimum cycle time since the last start and the maximum cycle time since the last start.
You can implement the FC630 function with S7-300 CPUs and C7 devices. Whether the FC630 can be implemented depends on the CPU type and the firmware version. The function described is valid for the CPU-31x modules as from firmware versions V2.3.2, V2.1.6 and V2.0.10.
The FC630 can also be used for the CPU319-3 PN/DP modules as from firmware version V3.2. However, the firmware version V3.2 contains an improved HMI Turbo that only works for the acyclic HMI services.
More information about "Prioritized OCM communication" is available in Entry ID: 49749632.
The attached download contains an archived sample STEP 7 project with the FC630 described above. Use of the FC630 is described in detail in the document below.

The license topic of SCaVis is complex and requires a good understanding of several issues.
A complete license information for end-users is given here. Click on the "Agreement" link. Below we will consider a more complicated case when SCaVis is used by developers for for-profit organizations.
Many components of ScaVis are free. But many services (including the full access to this manual) and jar components are only accessible for full members. The yellow components shown on this diagram are free and protected by the GNU (v3) public license.
Other components (blue with red text) are only acceptable for full members.
The main core libraries (jhplot and jehep package and other used by these libraries) are licensed by the GNU General Public License v2. This means that one can use it to develop a commercial product and sell it. Read this article for explanation. However, the derived works can only be distributed under the same license terms. What does it mean? Falling under GPL does not mean you have to publish your code on the web. You should provide it only when a person having the license asks for it. Typically, a random person does not ask for the code unless he or she actually bought the application.
If you are happy with this, what you need to do is to send an email to email@example.com asking about the list of libraries which comes with this core libraries. In most cases, they have permissive licenses suitable for modifications and for commercial usage (it they are either GNU or Apache License. Some libraries will be removed which do not comply with such licenses. We change a small donation for this service which goes to the maintenance of this project.
It should be noted that such reduced version of SCaVis is not totally functional and hardly is interesting for non-professional programmers and general users. The reason is that SCaVis talks to a server to access documentation, has build-in documentation databases with the help system, example databases and language files. All of this falls under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License version 3.0 as explained here. Finally, the SCaVis web-based services will be closed (wiki, documentation, svn, example libraries etc.)
All jar libraries submitted to the ScaVis by the users are compatible with the open-source licenses (i.e. GNU) and available in the public domain. However, if you note a package which is not consistent with a public domain license, please inform us and we will remove such library.
Here are several typical examples showing the ScaVis covering several license questions:
The second usage case is more common and often people ask: what if we just use SCaVis jar files to build our commercial product. Yes, you are free to use them and sell the final product to the client, as long as the derived code is open-source (i.e. your company maybe asked to provide the source code). We do not charge your company for doing this. However, practically, this model of usage is rare since the developers of your company still need to have an access to the ScaVis documentation, thus they need to contribute to the one-time membership fee.
Even if your derived work is licensed GNU as ScaVis license requires, this does not mean that your work will be totally unprotected (see below) and competitors will use it in their own benefit.
This is what may happen in case of a violation of the SCaVis license for non-commercial usage:
Thus, to have a piece in mind and a feeling that you are supporting free software and non-profit educational/academic community, one can consider spending a few dollars to obtain a professional version of this program with the permission to use it for commercial purposes (plus many other benefits, such as SCaVis auto-update, an access to the full online manual, complete API documentation, FAQ, script library, etc.).
Some people ask: what if my company will decide to rewrite this project and alter the license? Technically, this going to be a very expensive project. SCaVis has more than 100M of source code files which are all need to be rewritten. Even a large company hardly can afford doing this. It is certainly almost impossible to be competitive with hundreds of academic users writing scientific software and contributing to the development of this package.

My beautiful 8 yr old Golden retriever Belle was diagnosed with a liver tumor that has spread,surgery won't help..This is her last weekend with us.
Belle was adopted when whe was 11 months old as a companion for our Lab...She has become my garden companion,my friend.She always stayed close to me.She was full of life and always did things to make us smile,like bringing her food bowl in her mouth when she knew it was time to eat. We never thought she would be gone this quick. She has certainly made us happier with her presence,and we feel blessed that she came into our life. Goodbye dear BELLE...my dearest,special dog.

Oh, I'm so sorry. The day last May that we had to have our 12 year old Yorkie, Cassie, put down, I bathed her that morning and loved her all day. We had a great day together and I don't think she even realized that I was crying most of the day while I was holding her.

This is my first year growing hibiscus as I am growing them from seed but i just read that you can use cuttings off of them. I have a plant that hubby bought a year ago and just wondering if I can get cuttings from that. The leaves are almost off of it but it is having new leaves on the branches. When is the best time to cut them back? Also how do you go about getting the cuttings from it and where would you cut it? Also how would you root it does it need water to root or can it just be placed in a pot of soil and watered good. Sorry for so many questions but if I don't ask than I'll never learn.
Thank you so much Patricia |

Hi Pat..Hibs can be rooted from stem cuttings, but it may be a bit of a challenge.. As for the parent plant, there shouldn't be any need to cut back..Soon plant can go out, or placed in bright/direct sun and new leaves will sprout. Take a 3-4" cutting from the tips. Some ppl use Root-tone for prevention of rot. Place in either seedling soil or mix your own..peat/vermiuculite/soil..soak..Stick finger to make a hole, place cutting in hole, cover hole w/soil. Place in plastic bag in bright but no direct sun area. Keep warm..a heating cable will speed up rooting..Cut a little hole in bag for ventilation. Keep moist but not soggy. Rooting depends on heat/time of yr..You can add a lite dose fertilizer high in nitrogen will help. Good luck, Toni |
Hi Pat. I have had hibs for years now .. I never tried to do any cuttings until this past fall. I thought hey why not give it a shot Ive got nothing to lose but a branch :o) Well I tell ya .. of 2 cuttings of a ROS one took and bloomed!! One cutting of my Red Hot took also. Now this was in the fall .. I really didnt think any of them would root but they did. I took a nice size cutting about 6" long and stuck it in some water until I saw little nubs growing .. then I stuck it in soil .. ta da. I am going to attempt more cuttings this spring with new growth and do it properly like Toni has discribed :o) I still dont know what kind of ROS it is but the bloom that I got from the cutting is beautiful check it out. I will be trying a variety of rooting techniques .. my friend tells me to just take some new growth cuttings and stick them in beside the mother plant :o) Good luck |

Movie Review: Lucy (2014)
After she is mentally liberated, Lucy (for some reason) becomes a different person – determined, brave, philanthropic, and just a hair's breadth away from all-knowing. And in some damn impressive high-speed chase sequences, with awesome telekinetic displays of power, she can travel through the 4th dimension. With this transcendence, Lucy tears through the story...like those advanced aliens from Independence Day vs. some anthill on earth on a ranch in Elmendorf, Texas.
Movie Review: The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
Taking place just two hours before the onset of the next bloody purge - in which all of "America Reborn" acts out their deadly anger without fear of legal repercussion - The Purge: Anarchy takes off in 2023 with a new cast and new characters. What is not new is what the film seeks to accomplish, which is exactly what the first one did (only, this one does so a little less effectively).
Movie Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
Like the first Planet of the Apes revamping, this film has spades of action, tons of story, and a strong emotional appeal throughout, as it keeps audiences torn between rooting for their own kind and a new race of super-apes.
The film's remarkably static intelligent undercurrent shows the intellectual and emotional growth of Caesar as a leader who can make complex moral decisions and advance his cause, thereby reminding us of what fortifies character. The problem? Well, how about why audiences would ever be expected to go for such a premise behind a remake in the first place?
Movie Review: Deliver Us From Evil (2014)
And while Eric Bana (Hulk, Vantage Point) and Édgar Ramírez (The Bourne Ultimatum) work great together, the writing behind who they are and what they are doing is left hanging in a wishy-washy, unoriginal patchwork of a film that is neither interesting, nor scary.
Movie Review: Maleficent (2014)
Director Robert Stromberg (Pan's Labyrinth, The Hunger Games) gives us Maleficent, a cunning re-invigoration of the story of Sleeping Beauty, the tale this time told from a much more modern point of view, with a newfound respect for acknowledging the dualistic nature of personhood.
Movie Review: The Quiet Ones (2014)
An experiment involving students at Oxford in 1974 leads a skeptical few to realizing that the force they seek to reduce to terms most familiar is far more sinister and deadly than they can imagine.
Wanna know what I can't imagine? Why a film with such fine and devoted acting can't do anything but occupy space as another "show up the skeptics" piece of cinema where the supernatural elements are over-utilized and where sudden shocks and cheap "jump" surprises typical of possession-style horrors unjustly dominate the screenplay.
Movie Review: Godzilla (2014)
The narrative has nearly enough cohesion to work, but to no avail. The CGI, however, is magnificent (probably the only thing in this film that is).
Movie Review: How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
This one features new dragons, some twisty new protagonists, and a new fiercesome competing tribe led by a ruthless conquerer (Djimon Hounsou, voice) who seeks to subvert dragon powers for his own dictatorial purposes, and the emergence of Hiccup's mother (Cate Blanchette, voice).
It's nearly everything a sequel should be, minus some not so soothing pacing, and what seems to be more of a teenaged appeal.
This one doesn't quite offer up the succinct focus as what we received the first time around, but the adorable characters remain as enchanting as ever.

I just received my new pro line gas range and am very disappointed. I though I did all the research I needed to do. I am concerned about the hole in the middled of the cook top toward the back of the range. I see there is a small cap to put over this opening. What is the purpose of this hole? Does anyone have trouble with food getting down there? Are you satisfied with the performance of this gas range? Thank you for your help. |

I am sorry you are not happy with the range. I am about to order the same one but I really don't have much choice as it is only one of two that would fit depth wise. I believe that hole is the vent for the oven. |

A Global Platform Unites the World
From Table Mountain to the Copacabana, from Durban Beach to the Eiffel Tower, from Soweto to Sydney Harbour, more than six million fans celebrated the official FIFA Fan Fest™ on all 31 tournament days in 16 locations across five continents.
The instant, and hugely positive, response to the introduction of the FIFA Fan Fest™ as an essential part of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ experience in Germany created a huge demand for a similar scheme at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. Few, however, would have predicted just how successful the project would become.
To build on the success of Germany, FIFA and its partners took the bold step to expand the free-access platform globally, adding six iconic international locations to South Africa's nine Host City venues, giving an unprecedented number of fans the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of a FIFA World Cup™ in a live environment. It was the next best thing to being inside the stadium!"
For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, a 31-day event was staged simultaneously in 16 venues across five continents, around the world. In addition to all nine South African Host Cities, FIFA Fan Fest™ locations in Berlin, Mexico City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome and Sydney proved to be the perfect cosmopolitan hosts for a month-long carnival of football.
A common characteristic of all venues was the FIFA World Cup™ event branding, which transported the authentic stadium atmosphere to the city centres. Before and after the live broadcasts, the stages and screens featured a variety of highly popular entertainment line-ups, including concerts, cultural shows, fan activities by the Sponsors, Official Mascot appearances, FIFA Interactive World Cup™ competitions as well as DJ performances. In addition to the entertainment programme, a wide range of food, beverage and merchandise facilities contributed to a high-quality on-site fan experience. FIFA Fan Fest™ locations quickly became THE place from which to see the matches with friends and family.
Huge logistical operations and an exemplary coordination between FIFA and the cities were the basis for this success, ensuring that a visit to the FIFA Fan Fest™ remained a unique experience, irrespective of which day spectators could attend. More than 5,300 permanent staff and comprehensive security measures implemented by local authorities guaranteed an efficient coordination without any major incidents. While the cities or the agencies appointed by the cities were the organisers of the local events, FIFA assumed responsibility for the overall project management and the coordination of the operation as well as for providing the technical infrastructure such as the giant screens, stages and sound and lighting equipment for all 16 venues.
The FIFA Fan Fest™ was covered extensively by the world's media. SABC at the FIFA Fan Fest™ South Africa, along with the respective Media Rights Licensees across the International FIFA Fan Fest™ venues, produced countless hours of live footage from the sites. A total of more than 5,000 accredited media members reported from the 16 FIFA Fan Fests™.
The extensive coverage across all media formats untapped an entirely new stream of reporting around the tournament and certainly added to the depth of coverage and level of exposure around the world.
Of course, the success of the FIFA Fan Fest™ was made possible largely by the participation of the stakeholders, including the Sponsors. The FIFA Partners Coca-Cola, Emirates, Hyundai and Sony supported the International FIFA Fan Fest™, while Coca-Cola was the Presenting Sponsor of the South African FIFA Fan Fest™ alongside MTN and Neo Africa.
The numbers speak for themselves: more than six million FIFA Fan Fest™ visitors, along with an overall satisfaction rate of some 97%, clearly and categorically confirmed the enormous popularity and success of the project. The FIFA Fan Fest™ is here to stay.

The Lawbringer: New Battle.net TOU {WoW}
Jun 22nd 2010 4:25AM Just an FYI, the EFF has some good info from the end of last year on the MDY appeal - their argument surrounds the issue of ownership against rental essentially (since Blizzard went for the slightly odd move of aiming at copyright infringement over the unauthorised copy of the game held in RAM). The main link is here: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/09/you-bought-it-you-own-it-mdy-v-blizzard-appealed and the Opening Brief from MDY's appeal is available here: http://www.eff.org/files/MDY's%20Opening%20Brief.pdf which quite nicely outlines the MDY's argument in the appeal process.
Interesting reading, no doubt (barring the bits which just say "so if you can't do MDY for it, then surely it's silly doing Mr Donnelly for it? Eh? Eh?").

Step 6: Laying The Decking
One common technique used for decking around a circular pool requires each board to be tapered so they all radiate from the center of the pool. The method we used is a lot easier. Cut several 2 x 6s into 4-ft. lengths with one end of each cut at 80° instead of square. Slip the angled end of the first decking board under the pool's coping, keeping it at least 1/2 in. away from the pool wall. Set the long edge of the deck board directly on the joint running between two adjoining floor-joist frames. Fasten the board to the joists with 2-1/2-in. deck screws. Lay the next board tight against the first one and screw it in place. (When the boards shrink, a 1/4-in. gap will appear between them.) Continue installing deck boards in this manner, with the angled end slipped under the coping, until you come to the next floor-joist frame. Lay a deck board in place and mark where it overlaps the joint between the two frames. Cut the board along the line and screw it in place. Trim the next two boards in the same manner, then go back to installing full-length boards again. Once all the deck boards are fastened down, use a circular saw to trim off their overhanging ends so they're flush with the perimeter joists.

I have a fiberglass door I am finishing in English Walnut. I need to know how to finish the brick mold which is Oak. I am afraid to stain and varnish it because we had an outdoor table that we worked hard on staining, sanding, varnishing and after abt 3 months outside it peeled and blistered and was totally destroyed. I am about ready to have it covered like the soffit and facsia and forget it. Any ideas? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
netski, I was successful using conventional stain and the covering with MINWAX/Spar Urethane (clear stain). I've got the therm-tru fiberglass door with the oak brick-molding. My door is pretty well protected from direct sunlight though. If your door is getting a lot of direct sunlight I check into something like a marine-grade urethane or varnish. That oak trim (brick molding)stained and finished will add additional beauty to the door. Best of luck with the project, rredogg |
thanks so much rreddogg. My door is also a therma-tru and I appreciate the info. I guess my best bet would be Sherwin-Williams. Thanks |
another thing you can do is a apply a tintable primer or a paint that compliments the color you want to end up with, from there you can put on a gel stain, it sounds crazy but trust me it works ive done it |

News Article
Kerikeri Plant Production has been judged New Zealands Most Weedwise Nursery in the inaugural Council of Australasian Weed Societies awards. The awards have been run in both New Zealand and Australia to celebrate nurseries that sell only environmentally-friendly plants that are unlikely to invade and damage natural areas. Nurseries nominated for the award must not sell plants likely to cause problems in native bush areas because their seeds are carried there by birds, or if they get dumped on roadsides or in reserves by people tidying up their gardens. Other important criteria include the correct labelling of plants, and efforts by the nursery to educate customers and others about the possible impact of invasive plant species on the environment. Owners Julia Colgan and Tom Lindesay were presented with the award by Philippa Stevens, President of the New Zealand Plant Protection Society. The Society is the New Zealand arm of the Council of Australasian Weed Societies that will be making the awards annually. Julia and Toms nursery meets all the criteria for the award, said Ms Stevens. The competition for the award was tough but their nursery won through. Were very pleased and honoured - to have been chosen for this, says Tom Lindesay. It was quite unexpected one of our staff, Bronie Nicol, nominated us. We try to grow a range of natives, especially those that grow well in Northland and the outer islands. Although we specialise in natives, we do sell some exotic trees suitable for Northland conditions. But we make sure they dont include any invasive species. The nursery encourages gardeners to remove species in the Delightful but Destructive brochure produced by Northland Regional Council. We make this brochure freely available to our customers says Julia Colgan. We also use the Regional Councils Northland Natives booklet to advise customers on native plants suitable for their area. The award for New Zealands most WeedWise nursery will be made every year. Details of the criteria and how to enter are on the NZ Plant Protection Societys website at www.nzpps.org. Nominations for next year must be with the Societys secretary by 30 April 2008. The Council of Australasian Weed Societies is made up of representatives from Societies in all Australian States and in New Zealand. Amongst other activities it organises the Australasian Weeds Conference, which will be held for the very first time in New Zealand, in Christchurch. ENDS MEDIA CONTACT: Ian Popay, (firstname.lastname@example.com, 07 858 0006); or Tom Lindesay (firstname.lastname@example.com, 09 4079 448.

Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0
Version and / or Patch Used: 2.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.adobe.com
Product Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/
Our test with Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 is performed with a raw two hour AVI file. It is then compressed into DivX format using the latest version codec. We measure the time it takes to encode and then record CPU usage.
Premiere Elements at stock goes right across the board with only a second or two in it, which is about what you would expect for error factor. At overclocked it's clear that the slightly lower speed does make a difference to overall encode times. The more bandwidth and CPU speed you can get, the faster this task will be.

All the while you must take care not to lose a snippet of the anecdotic legends and tales such as the one about Catherine of Medicis whose visit to the city brought wine from the towns' fountains in order to awaken the ardour of the Catholics.

An art mastered by the talented and passionate growers. A stroll through the vines then becomes very tempting when one knows that the reward is a special kind of sandwich watered down with a bottle of wine in the chai! What about local heritage? The eye and the heart do not go wanting here either. They feast upon medieval cities, Bastides, castles, chateaux, abbeys, churches, demurs all with their tales and stories to tell. One can even learn the history behind the resemblance between New York and the Bastides, why the churches are fortified and how a water mill can make paper out of old rags!

Here are a few examples of our made to measure short breaks: "Intra-muros", all Bergerac in 2 days and 1 night: the tobacco museum, a boat-trip in a scow, a guided tour of the Chateau of Monbazillac with wine tasting and a visit of a chai.

What Our Customers Say

Are the Dems in a hurry to spit a bill out before the public finds out what's in it? They argued that they could not wait the two weeks it would take for the committee staff to post a bill online and for the CBO to evaluate it, accusing Republicans of engaging in a stalling tactic. Maybe so. But there's a larger issue here: the public's right to know about legislation that requires them to buy health insurance—with, no less, the U.S. Congress having the final say over what they can afford to pay and how much of their income will have to go to coverage before they can apply for public subsidies.
Are the Democrats tone-deaf? Our CJR Town Halls show that people are confused and not very knowledgeable about what the legislation—being rushed to the finish line—means for them. Many want to know more. Last week, two polls seconded what we are finding anecdotally. In a New York Times/CBS News poll, about 60 percent of those polled said they found the health reforms under discussion confusing. A survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports shows widespread dissatisfaction with leaders of both major political parties. "People feel they're not being listened to," said Scott Rasmussen, president of the polling organization. He explained that it adds up to a lot of frustration for voters who would like to "get involved in the decision-making process in a meaningful way," and concluded: "I think there's a group of people that are reaching the point that they don't know what to do."
To rectify that, the press needs to push the Senate Finance Committee and the rest of Congress to keep their constituents involved in the decision-making process. Really, it's the least they can do.

Shrinking Crocs
My husband bought a pair of these crocs for our vacation...then later started wearing them after he got off work. He left the crocs in the car from day to day to change into directly after work. He started to complain about how he could no longer fit his crocs. I looked at them and said well I think they actually shrunk. I read other reviews and many others had complaints of people leaving their crocs in direct sunlight or heat and their shrinking. They are overall comfortable but beware of leaving them in the sun for they will shrink.

What is a urostomy?
A urostomy is an opening in the belly (abdominal wall) that is made during surgery. It re-directs urine away from a bladder that is diseased or not working as it should. The bladder is either bypassed or removed. (Surgery to remove the bladder is called a cystectomy.) The urine is passed out of the body through an opening called a stoma. An enterostomal therapy (ET) nurse or the surgeon will figure out the best location for your stoma. (An ET nurse is a specially trained registered nurse who takes care of and teaches ostomy patients. This nurse may also be called a Wound, Ostomy and Continence nurse (WOC) or an ostomy nurse.)
The stoma will look pink to red and will be moist and shiny. The shape will be round to oval, and it will shrink over time after surgery. Some stomas may stick out a little, while others are flush with the skin.
You will not be able to start and stop urine coming out through the stoma, so a pouch will be fitted to collect the urine as it comes out. There are no nerve endings in the stoma, so it is not a source of pain or discomfort.
Getting ready for surgery
As you get ready for abdominal surgery, your doctor or your ostomy nurse will explain the process and look at your abdomen to find the best location for the stoma. You may be asked to wear a sample pouch to make sure that the place chosen is on the flattest possible surface and that you are comfortable in all positions. If you have any hobbies or habits that might be affected by the placement of the pouch, talk to the doctor or the ostomy nurse.
A special source of help is an ostomy visitor. The visitor is a person who has a urostomy and has adapted well to the changes that it brings. He or she can answer many of your questions about day-to-day life. You may also find it helpful to take part in an ostomy support group. A support group allows you to share your feelings and ask questions as you recover and adjust to your urostomy. You can also share your story with others who may be helped by your experience.
Why have a urostomy?
Urostomy surgery is done for some diseases and conditions that cause serious bladder problems. The bladder is part of the urinary tract – the system that removes liquid waste products from the body. The urinary tract is made up of 2 kidneys, 2 ureters, the bladder, and the urethra. Urine is made in the kidneys. It flows through the ureters to the bladder for storage. It passes out of the body through the urethra. You can live without a bladder, but you must have a certain amount of kidney function to grow and be healthy.
If there is cancer (a malignancy) in the bladder, all or part of the bladder may be removed and the urine detoured through a urostomy. This may cure the cancer.
Some people find a urostomy easier to manage than a defective bladder that may have been caused by something like a birth defect, surgery, or spinal injury. Bladder problems often mean that people cannot control the flow of urine – they are incontinent. This can be embarrassing and the constant wetting may cause skin problems. Some young people have even asked for urostomy surgery as a way to end this problem.
Some children are born with a defect in the urinary tract that causes urine to back up into the kidneys. This leads to chronic or repeat infections. For these children, a urostomy may be life-saving. Surgery can make a pathway through which the urine may travel easily, without any blockages (or obstructions) that cause it to back up. This allows the kidneys to work their best.
