Follow up: FCC DIRS Training
Washington - May 23 - The FCC is conducting training on its Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS) for various communications services. A conference call for broadcasters to learn how the system works was held on May 23. The system is designed to help the government respond to disasters by providing the necessary materials and supplies for communications needs where they are needed most. The program was established following the lessons learned after Hurricane Katrina. The new system will serve as a focal point for information on the condition of communications infrastructure in affected areas. DIRS will only be activated for catastrophic situations.
John Healy of the FCC led the training. He provided an overview of the system and its function to coordinate the planning for and provision of national security and emergency preparedness communications. One function of the system will be to collect and update information about communications networks (including broadcast stations) in affected areas during and after an emergency.
The FCC asks all broadcasters to register with the site to build the database. The online system is currently in its final beta form, and the final production site should be unveiled in mid-June. For now, the system can be accessed at https://selafoss.fcc.gov/nors/disaster/ (the final slash is needed for the link to function). Once there, stations can create a profile and provide the requested information.
If a disaster is declared and the system is activated, an e-message will be sent go to all the active contacts in the DIRS. That message will contain the URL of the production version of DIRS, and it will include a method to retrieve the password to access the system. Once logged in, stations will be provided with information about the reporting schedule to provide station status updates to the FCC through the DIRS. Stations will be asked to provide updates daily.
Once the final DIRS site is activated, Radio magazine will provide the link.

Beyond Google — using the Web as an investigative tool
By Linda Austin on Mar 14, 2010
Here are some tips from Jaimi Dowdell, training director for IRE, on using the Web as an investigative tool:
- Use advanced search on Google plus at least one other search engine to search for phrases, domain types, file types, or words in a URL. For example, if you are looking for government data, search for the file types .xls, .xlsx or .zip on sites with the .gov domain. You can also look for URLs with the word, "download," in them and the .gov domain.
- Use the links at the bottom of the page on Wikipedia.org as a resource to lead you to potentially better information.
- Try these federal sites when you're looking for specific data: Census, FedStats and FirstGov.
- In addition to BRB Publications, the University of Virginia also maintains a public records portal.
- Here are two reporter-vetted portals: NICAR 'Net Tour and Reporter's Desktop by Duff Wilson.
- ChangeDetection.com will send you an e-mail when a site you've registered has been updated.
- BugMeNot offers ways of getting into password-protected sites, such as newspapers.
- For tracking what's happening on Twitter, try Monitter or Twitter's search.
- To find out who is behind a Web site, try Domain Tools or Allwhois.
- For the "dead Web," or historic versions of sites, use cached sites on Google, the Wayback Machine, the Library of Congress' MINERVA for specific recent events or the CyberCemetery for defunct government agencies.
In Investigation.

I really enjoy the concepts of Endeavors and BC's Compacts. Here is a sheet I made up to help keep track of them. Basically you and your group would decide your objectives, as the GM you would record if a player's choice of a tertiary or personal objective, write down how each player will contribute to the mustering resource phase and come up with tests to assess success in each category. Once it is all said and done, I'm going to keep mine in an "evil" binder so my group and I can reference past attempts.
Let me know what you think.

What: Rent cars by the
Who: Robin Chase of
Where: Cambridge,
When: Started in 2000
Wallet: Projected $1.5 million
sales for 2001
A man looks around a parking lot, spots a green Volkswagen Bug, walks up to it and magically unlocks the door by placing a special card on the windshield. He slips in, and off he goes.
A high-tech car thief? No, just a Zipcar customer.
Robin Chase, 42, co-founded the car-sharing company in January 2000 and rolled out its unique member-based service six months later. Since then, the company's taken the Boston area by storm. It's no wonder: Members can use their rented cars for as long as they want-even if it's just an hour-as long as they return them to designated spots by the time indicated on their reservations. They can charge gas on their handy gas card (billed directly to Zipcar) and don't have to worry about insurance (it's taken care of with a refundable insurance security deposit).
"The only real criteria [for a potentially successful market] is that customers live in a densely populated area and don't need a car every day," Chase says.
Customers pay a $25 application fee and a $75 annual fee to become members. Once they're signed up, rates are $4.50 an hour and 40 cents a mile to use cars from a fleet that consists of Volkswagen Beetles, Golf Hatchbacks, Jettas and Passat Wagons.
Members can reserve the vehicles of their choice online as much
as two months in advance. The most frequent time users reserve cars
for is two to four hours. Zipcar charges all fees to the
credit card at the end of each month.
The company's fan base is growing every day-600 members and 35 cars so far-and, at press time, Chase planned to open Zipcar in Washington, DC, by late spring.

Plan to enjoy Zoo Lights from November 21 – January 4.
Tickets will be on sale starting Saturday, November 1.
More information about this year's Zoo Lights will be coming soon! Below you can find information about last year.
TXU Energy Presents Zoo Lights is now closed for the season. Our last evening was Saturday, January 4, 2014.
Zoo Lights Hours: 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. (last entry at 9 p.m.) Zoo Lights is a separate event from general Zoo admission. The Zoo closes for the day at 5 p.m. and opens up for Zoo Lights at 6 p.m.
The Zoo is a wonderful setting for special events, especially during Zoo Lights. If your company, church, scout troop or other social organization would like to host a special holiday celebration, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
The Zoo's FREE Android and iPhone App will feature a guided tour of Zoo Lights. Download it today and you'll also have an extensive animal guide handy for daytime Zoo visits, today's schedule of talks and feedings, and a GPS-enabled map that tells you where you are at the Zoo.
Be a holiday hero at this year's Zoo Lights by recycling your old cell phone with us at the main entrance of the Zoo. Simply gather any old phones, bring them with you when you attend Zoo Lights, and drop them in our recycling bin at the front entrance. By recycling your old phone, you save chimpanzees in the wild by allowing us to reuse the minerals found in your phone, which come from chimpanzee habitats in Africa. The cell phone recycling bin is located outside the entrance next to the door to Guest Relations.
TXU Energy Presents Zoo Lights is back and more spectacular than ever this year – we've added more than 1 million lights! Grab a cup of hot chocolate and stroll through majestic oak trees sparkling with thousands of colorful LED lights. Get in the spirit of the season with festive holiday music.
Explore the enchanted forest, where you can see life-sized lighted animal sculptures, check out the all-new dollhouse village, and see holiday trains chugging through the landscape! Stare in amazement at "Holly Berry," the 1957 Cadillac, that features thousands of vibrant lights dancing in time to joyful music.
Bring your camera to capture all the special moments, and seize the opportunity to get this year's family holiday photo, too!
During the evening, many of our animals settle down for their long winter's naps. The star attraction at TXU Energy Presents Zoo Lights is well…the lights!
Warm up by ducking into the Reptile & Amphibian House, Kipp Aquarium and Natural Encounters and see the animals who live there.
Enjoy traditional treats of the season, like hot chocolate, funnel cakes, sticky buns, turkey legs, and s'mores as you stroll through lighted pathways. Wine and beer will also be available. Look for the candy cane striped columns near the center of the Zoo to find Cypress Circle, the place to go for holiday snacks.
You can also sit down for a meal of more traditional Zoo fare like hot dogs, chicken strips, hamburgers, salads, and more at Macaw Café near the Zoo's front entrance.
Spread some holiday cheer to the animals at the Houston Zoo – give them the Gift of Grub!
Lots near the Zoo's main entry will fill quickly, so get there early to find a good spot. Even better – take METROrail to the Memorial Hermann Hospital/Houston Zoo station and enjoy a walk across the Hermann Park!
On very busy nights, alternative parking is available at Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza garage at 6400 Fannin for a fee of $7/vehicle, which includes free round trip trolley service to the Zoo's main entrance. On nights when it's open, we will post a sign at the intersection of Hermann Park Dr. and Cambridge St.
The Zoo's Medical Center entrance will not be open during Zoo Lights, so be sure to go to the main entrance.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Angel!
Facts about Angel
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Angel's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Other Pets at Raining Cats Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Angel, a Vero Beach Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Vero Beach, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Vero Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vero Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Vero Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vero Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

I love Trader Joe's for their food and recently discovered their beauty section. I picked up this face lotion randomly just because I ran out of my old lotion. It was under five dollars. The lotion has a VERY light citrus scent, nothing overpowering or that irritates my skin. I love how its a bit gel-like in consistency. I wouldn't call it a lotion. I love this and use it everyday! I just wish it had SPF.

For the first 5 days, I loved this. It made my skin glow. Now I am dealing with completely spotty breakouts around my whole face and the worst chin congestion I've had in months. I know it was this because it's the only thing that's changed in my routine. I am banishing it! I have to go deal with this breakout now. :( VERY disappointing.

This is a wonderful moisturizer~! Especially for really dry skin! I have oily/combination skin so this works best for me as an under eye moisturizer or if i need that extra boost of moisture :3
Also the ingredients are free of harsh chemicals, like papabens~

Age: 25-29 Skin: Normal, Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Black
I tried this because I was looking for a good but inexpensive moisturizer and I love Trader Joe's products most of the time. When I used it the first time, the smell almost knocked me over! Some people are saying in their reviews that it smells like oranges or Tang, but the bottle I had didn't even smell citrus-y to me, just overpoweringly of "fragrance" in a bad way. This makes me wonder if there is some inconsistency with their batches. I almost stopped using it because of the smell, but I actually really like the formula. It absorbs so nicely and leaves my skin feeling smooth. I am currently using a different brand of moisturizer, but when I finish it up I am going to give this a shot again. Hopefully the next bottle will be lighter on the scent!

I tried this because I liked some of the ingredients and loved the price. The pump bottle is a nice feature as well. I have very dry skin, and this wasn't quite moisturizing enough. It also felt a little sticky. My main complaint, though, is that it smells strongly of fake oranges and reminds me very much of those citrus deodorizers that public bathrooms sometimes spray, only much, much stronger. I used this for 2-3 weeks and had to throw the rest away because of the smell. Wouldn't have repurchased anyway because the performance wasn't good enough, but the smell was unbearable.

I used some at a friend's house in Boston - it was a light, slightly oily moisturizer with a citrus smell and it was fantastic! Then I purchased some at home in Seattle, and it was the grandma smell lot that has a bad matte feeling to it going on and the smell does not go away. Obviously the company has two completely different lotions under the same label - disappointing. Smell before buying.

*TOP REVIEWER* MsVengeance on 6/7/2011 7:53:00 PM more reviews by MsVengeance
Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Warm Hair: Black, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
I'm pretty sure this lotion broke me out, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it for the acne prone. The thing is, it's very oily and no matter how non-comedogenic the oil is, it's never good to have this much on your skin if your prone to breakouts (at least, this seems to be the case for me). Anyways, I have combo skin, and like I said, this lotion made me REALLY oily throughout the day. I don't usually wear powder (with the right moisturizer I never have to) but this stuff had me breaking out the baby powder. Not an hour after I'd powdered it on, I'd look into the mirror to discover that I'd become very oily again; it was like a really disturbing flashback to my overly hormonal teen years and it happened every time I wore this stuff. So I had to delete a 'stick for that. Another 'stick had to be deleted for the overpowering scent. I actually love scented products, and this smelled really good to me at the store, but man, every time I put it on the scent was just so overpowering that I often felt like I could taste it during application!
That said, this IS a nice light moisturizing lotion (those are hard to find in my opinion) and I did enjoy the hydration and suppleness it seemed to give me. I think it's probably suitable for every other skin type. It's definitely one of those things that I wish I could wear, and it's only $3.99 (!), so it's worth trying. Someday I'm hoping I'll get the courage to wear it just at night.

My HG face lotion. Most face lotions cause breakouts for me, not this one. It smells sweet and citrus, I love it's scent. It is non greasy and absorbs quickly. It's also inexpensive. I really love it and have repurchased several times. The only con is there is no SPF.
I don't know what all of these other reviewers are talking about, this lotion isn't stinky at all. it smells like sweet oranges and is a fairly light scent. It's not floral at all. Maybe it varies in batches, but I have repurchased 3 times and have never gotten an over powering stinky smelling lotion.

The earliest known photographs of the stock pens and feed lots that characterized the neighborhood were taken in the first year of the Civil War, when the Army Signal Corps was founded on the heights overlooking Georgetown. In the images shown here the photographer appears to have set up his camera north and west of the present intersection of Tunlaw Road and Calvert Street.
Beyond the encampment, the distant landmarks include Trinity Church Upper Burial Ground, Back Street, The Cedars, Burleith, and Georgetown College, corresponding to the present Holy Rood Cemetery, Tunlaw Road, Duke Ellington High School, Washington International School, and Georgetown University.
During the 19th century the neighborhood––a good deal of which lies within the northern extension of the former city of Georgetown––was dominated by the master butchers who supplied the markets of Georgetown and of Washington City with meat; over time, their families also accumulated most of the land that was to become Glover Park.
After the Civil War, when local production of food for the city markets began to wane, the most prosperous butchers took steps––incorporating a streetcar line between Georgetown and Tenleytown, for instance––to enhance the residential potential of their real estate. Much of the present neighborhood was acquired in 1911 by the banker Charles C. Glover, and the earliest advertisements to use the name Glover Park were placed in 1926.
The most historic surviving institution in the neighborhood is Holy Rood Cemetery––formerly Trinity Church Upper Grave Yard––which dates to 1832. The last resting place for seven thousand Catholics of Georgetown, it includes the best-documented slave burial ground in the District of Columbia, and the grave of a Minuteman of the American Revolution.
This website has been generously supported by District of Columbia Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3B. My thanks to Commissioners Brian Cohen and Mary C. Young, and to Danna McCormick, of DLM Web Development.
I have benefitted from the generosity of historians so often that I concluded that it had to be a defining characteristic of their calling. I am also indebted to the resourcefulness of countless reference librarians, and in particular, to those of the Washingtoniana Division of Martin Luther King Library.
This work is dedicated to the memory of Robert W. Lyle (1922-1996) of the Peabody Room of the Georgetown Branch Library, who first guided me to the records of the part of Georgetown that is now in Glover Park.

I am new to machine embroidery. I understand the need for stabilizer etc. I embroider on fleece and have had great results so far. But I don't know what kind of stabilizer to use to embroider and finish the edges ( blanket/ other decorative stitches). Is stabilizer made in thin rolls that can be pinned to the edges? Or is there another method to assure that the embroidery doesn't sink into fabrics like fleece? Cutting strips long enough to attach to blankets seems like a great deal of work. Is there an easier way? If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks |

Check eBay. I was just looking for embroidery cards and found lots of listings for large rolls of stabilizer. Hope you find what you need. Billie |

E bay really has the best prices for large quantities of stabilizers. However, I don't know if they have the thin rolls that you need for a blanket edge. In a pinch,you might try adding machine tape. Good luck! |
I usually cut strips of solvy. It's kind of a pain, but the good thing is you don't have to tear it out - it comes out in the wash. Just get it wet and it disappears! |

HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
Benchmark: measures the performance
Info: shows detailed information
Health: checks the health status by using SMART
Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
Temperature display
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has gained popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
In HD Tune Pro we measured sequential read performance at 458.1MB/s average. The maximum and minimum read measurements were very close to the average score.
The average sequential write score was just over 200MB/s. The minimum was very close to the average, but the maximum spikes were much higher at 267.1MB/s.
HD Tach - Sequential Write Performance after Random Writes
Sampling at a higher block size, HD Tach runs after the HD Tune Pro random read and write tests. The lowest write speed measured was around 30MB/s. A majority of the reads and writes took place around 190MB/s, though.

Did you know that you're not considered a true Minnesotan until you've gone ice fishing? That is (probably) true, and it's the main reason Marko Jaric was never welcomed in the Twin Cities. Well, that and his aversion to the state's legendary delicacy, Deep-Fried Foods That Aren't Normally Deep-Fried.
Additionally, each Timberwolves rookie class is required to perform at least one winter sport before they are accepted in to the team's locker room. For whatever reason, we're still waiting for video of Nikola Pekovic's polar bear plunge to surface. Though to be fair, he wasn't doing it as part of last year's rookie hazing. He just wanted to go for a swim.

So over the last few years I've been on the mission to build up my 2010 double cab TRD. My goal is 37" iroks on 16x10" wheels. Ive read many many builds, and know of most of the obstacles to try and make this happen.
This is what I recently done. With the help of Double R Custom Metal Fab we completely removed and relocated the front body mounts behind the front fenders, and rebuilt/relocated them further back. This made a whole lot more room for tires. Not as hard to install as one might think. What do you guys think?
He mentioned that if there was enough interest that he would put together a kit for anyone else wanting to do this. The new ones will be a bit thicker.

The Australian Monument to the Great Irish Famine (1845-1852) is located at the Hyde Park Barracks, on Macquarie Street, Sydney, Australia. The monument was inspired by the arrival in Australia of over 4,000 single young women, most of whom were teenage orphans. They arrived under a special emigration scheme designed to resettle destitute girls from the workhouses of Ireland during the Great Famine. The Great Irish Famine Commemoration Committee (GIFCC) have broadened their activities to commemorate all who left their homes seeking a new life in the colonies and States of Australia but these workhouse orphan girls, and the historical links back to Ireland, remain the focus of this project and only young women from the workhouses under Earl Grey's Orphans scheme appear in the database.
This website introduces you to the monument itself, to this particular emigration scheme which operated between 1848 & 1850, to the women themselves and the ships on which they travelled. It is designed to be an motivating and rewarding experience for anyone interested in Irish history and genealogy or the broader issues related to famine, displacement and immigration no matter where in the Irish 'diaspora' you may reside.
This website is in gradually being updated. We gratefully acknowlege funding assistance from the Irish Government's Emigrant Support Programme in 2011 and 2013

Hello Everyone
While I don't rely on my back up sensors instead of actual looking back my sensors did fail the other day. I was in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot that is very tight to get in and out of. It is not an open lot. Well, I looked back before coming out of my space and did not see A THING. I backed up and hit a truck. First of all there is a terrible blind spot on these jeep grand cherokee's and my sensors did not go off at all. Plus the fact, I just didn't see the truck. All the repair shops that do body work are telling me these jeeps have a terrible blind spot. Have you heard of this. Also, I did do a pretty good job on my jeep. The back light is smashed, the quarter panel, and my bumper. The man's truck suffered a dent and a few scratches. None the less I am very upset. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The outside rear view mirrors when properlly adjusted give full view of the rear corners and fill the "blind spot". As far as the back up sensors go, I have yet to have to repair any of them. When they fail most people just forget about them instead of fixing them. |
Since you damaged you rear quarter panel and a backup lamp, I don't think that your vehicles met square on, but maybe corner to corner. (How else would the quarter panel have been damaged.) The truck may not have been in the view cone of the backup sensor, but should have been visible in a rear view mirror. The Jeep Cherokee has decent ourside rear view mirrors. |
Had the two vehicles been driven a bit more slowly, this would not have happened. The second truck should have seen the man backing up and should have yielded to him - this is the way I see it - anything to prevent an un-necessary accident.. |

Dogs and the Man
By Out.com Editors
In their groundbreaking book, Paws and Reflect: Exploring the Bond Between Gay Men and Their Dogs, authors Neil Plakcy and Sharon Sakson have interviewed subjects range from Edward Albee to Charles Bush along with twenty-three others. Below is an excerpt from their introduction to and interview with filmmaker Jonathan Caouette.
Jonathan Caouette is the groundbreaking filmmaker whose award-winning documentary, Tarnation, tore through critics' assumptions of what documentaries could be. There have been several dogs in Jonathan's life, as I learned when I spoke to him between his trips to Mexico, where he was screening his film.
I've loved dogs since I was about four years old. In general, my memories are tied to two things. A lot are tied to what music was on when a certain thing happened. I think a lot of people associate like that. But also, when a memory comes to me, I'll remember the dog I had then. They were always a poignant part of my life.
My first dog had two names, Sport and Christy. What name we called her depended on what kind of mood we were in. Sometimes she was Sport; sometimes she was Christy. She had come around during a time when there was a lot of tragedy going on in the family. The family circumstances were very bizarre.
My Mom had gotten very sick and had to go into the hospital. She suffers from severe bipolar disorder. Just before that happened, my mom got this dog from one of the neighbors. She was some kind of terrier, a dirty-golden color. I don't know if she was a purebred or not, but she was a beautiful dog. I have this great picture of her with me when I was about four years old. She's sitting with me, and I have my arm around her. I never wanted to go anywhere without her.
There was a lot of drama in our house. That's what happens when you have someone who's bipolar and schizoid. On those occasions, I would retreat into our backyard to my Slip 'n' Slide or swimming pool. We had this really great overgrown fig tree. I would hide in the fig tree with Christy and pull the branches over us.
I would sit alone with Sport and try to communicate with her psychically. I was trying to see if I could read her thoughts. I still do that every once in a while. You know, dogs are so hypersensitive to whistles and sounds. What would be so strange if they could actually, if not read your thoughts, read your body language? Even if it's just a subtle look in your eyes or a changing of your face?
I would be sitting and Sport/Christy would come up and look at me as if she was trying to tell me something. Or warn me about something, maybe. She would look me in the eye and I would get the sense of a thought, and I would sit still and try to understand what she wanted to say' and then someone would call me. Or I'd hear my mother screaming. Or my grandparents would come over to me. And the moment would be broken. I never got the message.
My grandfather and grandmother were raising me. My grandmother had a hysterectomy and took a long time to recover. My grandfather had to work to pay the bills, so there was nobody available to take care of me. Children's Protective Services got word of that and yanked me out of the home. I had to go into the foster-home system.
When I remember Sport/Christy, it seems to me that she represented the last vestige of normal family life. I was four, almost five. When the foster home happened, I never saw Sport/Christy again. It was devastating. I'll always remember her. She was an amazing animal. After her, stuffed animals had to take over for a while.

As I keep up with Gentoo system updates small things change from time to time, most of which aren't worth bothering with and I can chalk them up to 'progress' (I hope :-) Used to be, when I inserted a writable CD into my CD writer, The Nautilus CD-Writer utility would auto-start. Of late, this no longer happens, and it's convenient and I'd like to be able to turn this feature back on. Inserting a CD with data on it still puts an icon on my desktop and auto-mounts the CD (as per my fstab), and I can still manage a writable CD by explicitly opening the Nautilus-CD-Burner or X-CD-Roast. Does any one know any way to control the auto-start feature for Nautilus-CD-Burner? There doesn't seem to be anything in the Nautilus preferences dialog about this, and I've poked through the GConf tree and found nothing there, either. The feature is turned on in my "CD and DVD Preferenes" and when a writeable CD is deteced it's supposed to run "nautilus --no-desktop burn:" which works if I execute it from the CLI. It's just that the system doesn't seem to be detecting the presence of a writeable CD in the drive. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

Welcome to the forum. Another tomato grower i see. You guys are always making my mouth water and next year I'm definately going to grow a tomato or two in a pot. I've seen seedsonshirt on other forums and know you are very knowledgable. Glad you're with us.

Welcome Seedsonshirt! Glad you're joining in. Tell us more about your gardens. |
- Posted by seedsonshirt (My Page) on Sat, Sep 1, 07 at 15:30
Thank you for the welcome and the kind words. I grow organically, and encourage nature to do as many of the gardening chores for me as I can. I keep a water source surrounded with herbs and flowers as an oasis for beneficials. My short list of livestock (4 hens and a goat) make their contributions to the garden. We intend to start boarding horses so I can have even more free manure. My garden layout is semi-formal, consisting of 10 main 4'x20' beds, and a continuous 4' wide border. The 8' diameter pool is in the center, with a 1' wide planter encircling it and four small herb beds near by. All together, it's roughly 60'x70'. I grow a variety of vegetables, flowers and herbs. We live literally IN a forest. The worst problem in the beginning was all the shade, but my trusty Husqvarna took care of that. I still have some large trees probably a little too close to the garden, and they get mighty thirsty in August and September. There are lots of wild pear and plum trees, so I'll probably get plums and pears when I start an orchard. I'd love to grow antique apples, but I'm concerned about losing my investment to cedar apple rust and fireblight - both common here. I planted a couple of potted fig trees this year, and hopefully they're in a sheltered enough location to make it through the winters. This is gonna' sound nuts, but I'd also like to try my hand at growing olive trees. I want to eventually build a permanent hothouse. I need to do it soon, because my tropical Jackfruit trees will soon outgrow the kitchen windows... It will be nice to have someplace NOT in the house to start all my seedlings each spring. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 2, 07 at 9:13
Your gardens sound nice. Maybe you can post some photos someday. What's the difference between a hothouse and a greenhouse - or are they the same thing? I'm hoping for a big sun room someday where I could put plants. It's on my "when I win the lottery" list. We don't have a formal dining room so really I could use the extra space for an eating area when family comes over. If you're running out of room to start seeds inside, you may want to check out the Winter Sowing forum. You can start a lot of seeds outside over winter in covered (vented) containers. They may not germinate as early as seeds started inside but you don't have to harden them off so that's an advantage. It's a good way to use up an over-abundance of seeds if you get carried away with seed trading. lol |

Prochnau, Bykerk and Pechout represent!
Canadians continue to top the charts in major US off-road races! The latest accomplisments took place at round six of the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series in Everett, Washington, where KTM's Bobby Prochnau, Chantelle Bykerk and Lexi Pechout all graced the podium in their respective classes.
After qualifying through his semi, RTR Performance KTM's Prochnau rode steady early in the main event to hold tight to the leaders. In the final laps, he caught up to Mike Brown and made the pass for third—Prochnau's first ever US Endurocross podium!
"Getting into the main event is the toughest part", said Prochnau afterwards. I've been working really hard, training for these final Endurocross events and know I can be up front if I get into the final. This weekend it worked!"
In the women's class, Prochnau's RTR Performance teammate and girlfriend, Chantelle Bykerk, pushed hard until the final corner to finish a close second to Louise Forsley. Fellow Canadian and Cycle Works KTM rider, Lexi Pechout held on for third.
An incredible ride for these three, who are showing that Canada has a strong future in off-road racing!

Mumsnet/Ipsos MORI press release
Mumsnet, the UK's largest website for parents, and Ipsos MORI have today published 'The Women Problem', an in-depth study into women voters and who's winning the battle for their vote.
The report uses Ipsos MORI polling data available in August 2013 and qualitative work with focus groups comprising a diverse range of Mumsnet users.
The report shines a light on women's opinions of the current political leaders, their shortfalls and strengths, and the challenges they face if they are to win support in the run up to the 2015 election.
Key findings include:
The Conservatives are trailing the opposition by 13 points among female voters – three times the amount they trail among men (four points).
42% of women would back Labour, compared to just 29% who would vote Conservative. While the Conservative's share among men (31%) is similar to that among women, men are less likely than women to back Labour (35%).
David Cameron is described as the most out-of-touch leader by 46% of women (13% say Ed Miliband and 9% say Nick Clegg).
A third of women (33%) are 'satisfied' with David Cameron's performance; the same are satisfied with Ed Miliband.
Women are more likely to 'like' David Cameron (43%) than Ed Miliband (34%).
Six out of ten women who backed the Lib Dems in 2010 say they are no longer supporters.
No more than half of women believe any of the three main party leaders are interested in the concerns and opinions of women.
Mumsnet users shared their views on the leadership skills, substance and competence of the party leaders. Comments included:
On David Cameron
'I don't think he understands any issues relating to normal (not super rich) people, let alone women'.
On Ed Miliband
'Hard to like and weak at times'.
On Nick Clegg
'Damaged goods in terms of integrity'.
Justine Roberts, Mumsnet Founder, said:
"This study shows just how crucial appealing to women in the run up to the election is going to be, as currently so many women are unaligned or unenthused politically. While Labour are doing far better with women than men, all the party leaders are seen as out of touch and none emerges as a front runner in understanding Mumsnet users' day-to-day concerns. Clearly the women's vote is still all to play for."
Ben Page, Chief Executive, Ipsos MORI said:
"These days the Conservative Party no longer has the advantage among women it has traditionally held. Labour now holds a strong lead among women as a whole but of course, women are not a single block vote and appealing across the board is important for all party leaders – none of whom are particularly well thought of."

*sigh* Weather police, spelling police. OH MO. Enjoyed chatting with you. Have a magical day!*sigh*
Thanks for the misinformation disguised as fact. Not to mention two different misspellings. It is not "feter" as you first wrote, nor is it "feder" as you've now changed it to.
They are called feeder bands, and are small bands of thunderstorms that drift in from surroundings areas and feed into the main updraft of the hurricane itself. Hence the "feeding" of the storm.
And yes, it was already perfectly clear that it wasn't a hurricane or tropical storm since they don't simply pop up out of the blue. Hurricane force winds were first brought up by your compadre-in-confusion, HauntedGabe.
As for the rest of your post, I have no idea what you are talking about as I made no comments that could even be loosely translated as "wishing and hoping". I have already stated at least twice that anything can happen in high wind situation, no matter how well prepared you think things are. Having spent 32 years in Hurricane Alley, and seeing my share of storms up close and in person (most notably Hurricane Andrew in '92 which was a Cat 5), I'm very familiar with the concept.

Jennifer Lawrence and Director Francis Lawrence Are the Latest to Take Over James Cameron's The Dive
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on January 17, 2015 | Be the First To CommentIn the fall of 2003, James Cameron filmed the record-breaking "no limits" free dive of Pipin Ferreras, which was a special event commemorating the death of Ferreras's wife, Audrey Mestre. A year earlier, she drowned attempting the same feat of reaching a depth of 170 meters (557.7 feet) while holding her breath. During the press conference for the 2003 dive, Cameron confirmed earlier reports from that summer that he would be making a movie about the couple, and it would wind up being based on Ferreras's 2004 memoir, "The Dive: A Story of Love and Obsession." More than a decade later, Cameron has been focusing his directorial interests on the Avatar movies, but he's continued developing the project with other filmmakers coming on board to take the helm. Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) became attached back in 2012, and now Francis Lawrence is the latest substitution, according to The Wrap. He also has an actress joining him for the role of the late diver: his Hunger Games leading lady, Jennifer Lawrence. Apparently she has a strong desire to work with Cameron.
If You Love 'The Hunger Games,' The 'Mockingjay' Trailer Will Destroy You
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentNear the opening of the trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss points out that she didn't set out to cause massive social disruption; she only wanted to protect her little sister from certain death at the hand's of an oppressive regime. It's an excellent thematic introduction to a penultimate series entry that should radically change what the franchise is all about. What she did by volunteering was intimate and fiercely personal, but it resonated in a way that opened everyone else's eyes. When one person stands up, the question is why everyone else isn't on their feet. Donald Sutherland's President Snow responds with a poetic zen koan about the things we love killing us. Undoubtedly, he loves power, so we'll see how that all works out for him. Before you watch the trailer, a fair warning: it shows how one character has significantly changed — altering the lines in the sand and blurring what everyone is fighting for. For some, it'll be more interesting to watch the transition in the film itself, but, if you need a shot of confident adrenaline to get you going and don't mind the information, this should do it.
19 Things We Learned from 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on March 5, 2014 | Comments (3)At the tail end of 2013, Iron Man 3 received one of the biggest bitch-slaps of the year, courtesy of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The teen novel adaptation swooped in and eclipsed the Marvel superhero's spot as the highest grossing movie of the year, at least in terms of domestic box office. While The Hunger Games: Catching Fire didn't overcome the worldwide box office of Iron Man 3, it had its own victory by besting the first installment by more than $200m worldwide. As the movie-going audience prepares for the first of two final sequels releasing later this year, they can stave off their hunger by checking out The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on DVD and Blu-ray. Included on the discs is a commentary with director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson. Lawrence had already been working on the final two films at the time of recording, so his insight goes beyond the production of this film and extends into the grand finale. Even if you're not a huge fan of these films, you can take solace in the fact that the filmmakers behind them are striving for something better and deeper than the previous box office champs in terms of young adult fiction. (Yes, I'm talking about the thank-god-it's-over Twilight films.) Now, with that dig against Stephenie Meyer and all things sparkly out of the way, on to the commentary.
Interview: How 'Hunger Games' Fans Influenced Director Francis Lawrence
Features By Jack Giroux on November 22, 2013 | Comments (1)For a variety of reasons, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is considerably unlike its predecessor. Structurally the sequel isn't a 180-turn, but the world itself, while keeping in touch with what director Gary Ross achieved with the first film, has a different texture to it. When the girl on fire is on fire, it actually looks like fire. It's a sequel, but also a new direction for the franchise, in both small and major ways. That's what clearly piqued director Francis Lawrence's interest. Catching Fire is only Lawrence's fourth film, but he's faced considerable storytelling and technical challenges in the past, making him an obvious choice for the franchise. From his films, music videos, and television work, the director behind I Am Legend and Constantine is more than up to the challenge of adding new shades to an already established world. We discussed adding new building blocks to author Suzanne Collins's creation, along with fandom, subversive blockbusters, and more:
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Review: When There's Nothing Left to Burn You Have to Set Yourself On Fire
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on November 21, 2013 | Comments (5)It's been nearly a year since Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) captured the hearts of the people of Panem by winning the 74th Hunger Games in extremely unorthodox fashion. Where there should have only been a single victor the two illusory lovebirds stood together as champions in defiance of both expectations and President Snow (Donald Sutherland). Fearing that seeds of rebellion are breaking through the hard earth outside of the Capitol, Snow carts the two from district to district pimping their celebrity in the hopes that it will distract the people from their day to day drudgery. Instead, the trip spurs more unrest and unruliness leading Snow to make a change for the upcoming 75th Games. In direct conflict with the life of wealth and peace their previous victory had earned them, two past winners from each district, one male and one female, will once again be chosen as tributes to fight until only one remains. Katniss and Peeta are forced to continue the charade that is their love affair as they reunite with their Capitol entourage and attempt to make allies amid the roster of past champions and imminent threats. The games are still about life and death, but this time it's the heart of the rebellion that the pair are hoping to keep thumping in addition to their own. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the second film in what has quickly become one of the biggest YA franchises yet, and while it features many of the […]
Katniss Everdeen Channels 'The Lion King' in New 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Poster
Movie News By Kate Erbland on May 14, 2013 | Comments (1)She just can't wait to be tribute? The newest poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire seems to be nodding quite firmly to a most unexpected influence – Disney's The Lion King. While we can't quite remember any sort of magical jagged rock in Suzanne Collins' bestselling YA book series, it certainly looks like Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is hanging out on Pride Rock, surveying all the land that belongs to her, and plotting to overthrow her mean Uncle Scar – or is that just us? At least this new poster also includes a nice cloud-based nod to Katniss' budding wings, as it looks like our very own Mockingjay just might take flight, until you realize, nope, those are just clouds. Fine then, Katniss, do it your way. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22nd. [Press Release]
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Trailer Totally Rips Off 'Battle Royale II'
Movie News By Rob Hunter on April 14, 2013 | Comments (1)The Hunger Games was the third highest grossing film of 2012 beating out gigantic (and expected) hits like the final Twilight film, the first Hobbit, the latest Bond and the Spider-Man reboot. Hurray for originality! The film, based on the novels by Suzanne Collins, followed a teenager in a dystopian future where people are saddled with ridiculous names and a government that controls people through fear, force and dietary restrictions. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) finds herself in a televised competition to the death meant to distract the masses from their real miseries, and she surprises everyone involved by winning. The new film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, picks up the story with Katniss and her friend/co-victor Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) dethroned and forced to fight again by a president (Donald Sutherland) concerned that the duo are waking the sleeping populace towards rebellion. Also, I was mostly kidding about it ripping off Battle Royale II. Check out the first trailer for Catching Fire below.
With Native IMAX Shooting, You Too Can Live the Terror of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'!
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 26, 2012 | Comments (1)Obviously the one thing that movie-goers desperately wanted from The Hunger Games was to somehow feel closer and more involved with the child-on-child murder-for-sport that played out before their very eyes. Isn't that what entertainment is for? Luckily enough, the Hunger Games team has heard our cries (some of them muffled by the blood that is filling our lungs, thanks to a hearty jabbing from a fellow Tribute), with Peeta Mellark himself (Josh Hutcherson, if you're not hip to it) revealing which portion of the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be filmed in native IMAX. Which portion? The best kind! The one with the killing! Hutcherson told MTV (via /Film) in a new interview (which you can check out after the break) that the Francis Lawrence-directed film will feature IMAX scenes in the arena during the games, saying: "I think, all the stuff in the arena is going to be IMAX. So when you go see it in IMAX, you'll see the regular movie when we're in the Districts and in the Capitol. When you see us go up in the pod in the games, it will open up into IMAX. It will be amazing. It's very cool." Jokes about murder aside, the arena used in Catching Fire is going to be awesome (should the film stick to the original vision of the book, which is sort of a no-brainer), and to be immersed in that world via IMAX should prove to be one hell of a time. Also, huge plus […]
Francis Lawrence Must Be Doing a Good Job; Lionsgate Brings Back Director for 'Mockingjay' Films
In Development By Kate Erbland on November 1, 2012 | Comments (1)Director Francis Lawrence has yet to even wrap his first Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but the helmer is apparently doing a stellar job, as Lionsgate has just announced that he is booked to direct the final two Hunger Games films. Lawrence will again be joined by stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth for the third and fourth installments of the already-massive YA franchise cash cow based on Suzanne Collins' book series. The second film, Catching Fire, is currently filming in Atlanta. From a script by Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt, that film will send heroine Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) and her possible paramour Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson) straight back into a brand new Hunger Games arena, mere months after the two barely escaped their last round in the battle-to-the-death. Catching Fire arrives in theaters on November 22, 2013.
Dreamboat Sam Claflin to Play Dreamboat Finnick Odair in 'Catching Fire'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 22, 2012 | Comments (3)Those who are familiar with Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games" novels know Finnick Odair. He's the charming and gorgeous survivor of the 65th version of the games, who's deadly with a trident and quick to blow the cameras a kiss – and he's the sort of person who could mean trouble for the story's protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, unless her and the cocky superstar from District 4 are able to find some common ground, and somehow become allies. The basic thrust of the plot for the second book, "Catching Fire," is that a group of survivors from past Hunger Games are gathered together and forced to once again compete in an all-star version of the event referred to as the Quarter Quell. As discontent among the districts simmers in the background, Katniss and company find themselves once again thrust into danger, and once again thrust into the nation's spotlight. Think of it like the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, but with slightly more murder. Suffice to say, Finnick is an important character from the second installment of this story on, so playing him in Lionsgate's upcoming adaptation of the second book, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, was probably a coveted job among many of the handsome young actors in Hollywood. Unfortunately for everyone who's not Sam Claflin, they can stop sending in their head shots, because a press release from the studio has now confirmed that the Snow White and the Huntsman and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides actor has landed […]
May the Odds Be Ever in His Favor: Philip Seymour Hoffman Officially Set for 'Catching Fire' Role
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on July 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentYou know what The Hunger Games: Catching Fire really needs? Some gravitas. Though the first film was an unmitigated success, and it certainly benefited from its young and vibrant cast, most the of "elder statesman" work fell on the shoulders of Donald Sutherland as evil President Snow. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone around that we can trust? If you're unfamiliar with the second book in Suzanne Collins' smash hit book series, a brief character description of the brand new Head Gamemaker for The Hunger Games, Plutarch Heavensbee, might not make you feel the warm and fuzzies. After all, Wes Bentley's cold and calculating Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane, seemed bent on rivaling snow for the film's evil points, and how could anyone in his same position be anything less than a foe? Well, perhaps when he's played by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Will 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and the 'Star Trek' Sequel Shooting in IMAX Kill 3D?
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 13, 2012 | Comments (2)Ever since James Cameron's Avatar made an unheard of amount of money and wowed audiences with its visuals by shooting natively in the 3D format, nearly every big release we've seen since has tried to cash in on the craze by offering up a 3D version of itself. This has been going on for a few years though, and in showbiz time that might as well be a century. By all accounts the 3D craze is getting a bit long in the tooth, and it's probably time for the next big trend to come along and replace it. What will that trend be? If a couple of reports that came out today are any indication, it's going to be filming portions of your movie with IMAX cameras. The idea of filming select sequences of a film with IMAX cameras and charging customers a premium to experience the scope and clarity of the images on IMAX screens isn't exactly a new one. Already Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol have used the technique to create unique visuals and score some impressive box office dollars. But, with dueling announcements that two new gigantic franchise films also intend to use this strategy, we might be seeing the birth of a full-on trend.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' May Upgrade From Wes Bentley to Philip Seymour Hoffman
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 12, 2012 | Comments (1)Fans of Suzanne Collins' whimsical child murder novel, "The Hunger Games," will tell you that one of the big differences between her book and its eventual film adaptation was that the role of the deadly games' designer, Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), was dramatically increased for the screen. In the book we see the events of the games from solely the protagonist's perspective, so the deadly obstacles that are put in her path always come as a surprise. But in the film, we see Bentley's character setting everything up and reacting to the ways the players handle his tricks and traps. It made the position of the Gamemaker seem far more important than it ever had before. Seeing as Bentley's character had fallen out of favor with the powers that be by the end of The Hunger Games, its sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is going to have to find a new puppet master. And given the newfound importance of the role in the story's movie universe, as well as the fact that the second Gamemaker is a more important character than the first in the source material, Catching Fire's director, Francis Lawrence, will seemingly have to find a big name actor to step into the role. There isn't need to worry though, reports are he's already made an important move toward doing just that.
Gary Ross Challenges His 'Hunger Games' Successor Francis Lawrence to a 'Houdini' Duel
In Development By Nathan Adams on May 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe world was shocked when, after directing the biggest financial success of his career with The Hunger Games, Gary Ross decided to pass on making the sequel, Catching Fire. Does he hate money? No, it turns out he just hated the too-tight schedule the film has to work under due to its star Jennifer Lawrence's other commitments. But, do you know who has no such qualms with churning out a Hunger Games sequel on a truncated timeline? I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence. It wasn't long after Ross dropped out that he stepped in. Only time will tell if Ross was right and Lawrence is stepping into a poisonous situation with Catching Fire; once the second film comes out, we'll just compare who did the better work. But news that broke today hints at the possibility that Ross and Lawrence might soon be competing for our hearts and minds with more than just their individual takes on Hunger Games material; they might soon be earning comparisons to one another because of dueling Houdini biopics as well.
Catching Fire: Is the Best Director Always the Better Filmmaker?
Culture Warrior By Adam Charles on April 24, 2012 | Comments (10)Editor's Note: With Landon Palmer busy (read: probably writing a thesis on Sexual Deviancy in John Wayne Films in the Greater Context of Post-WWII America As Seen Through the Work of Southern Filmmakers), the excellent, insightful Adam Charles has stepped in to write this week's entry. Enjoy. Few things have been as equally discussed and deliberated over the past few weeks than that of who Lionsgate was going to choose to take the reigns from Gary Ross to direct the second installment in The Hunger Games franchise. The first film had one of the biggest opening weekends in history (and it didn't even require 3D price-hikes to get there), earned a positive majority from critics, and has a dedicated fanbase that defies demographic lines of fandom; and they're chomping at the bit to see the next adaptation in the series, Catching Fire, as quickly as possible. Neither Lucas, Spielberg, or even Peter Jackson's franchises could replicate just how much of the domestic populous is waiting for the next picture.
'Hunger Games' Sequel 'Catching Fire' Calls Up 'I Am Legend' Director Francis Lawrence
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAfter losing Gary Ross, Lionsgate put a bunch of names into a big bowl and finally pulled one out. Turns out, they can't get enough of people named Lawrence. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they've chosen Francis Lawrence – the director behind I Am Legend, Water for Elephants and Constantine – to take the reigns on the massively successful franchise. He beat out Bennett Miller (Moneyball) as well as a wishlist that included Duncan Jones, Tomas Alfredson and exactly zero women. The reason Lawrence won out seems to be in his abilities as much as it is his availability. His main contender, Miller, is already knee-deep in preparations for Foxcatcher, the filming of which would be right in the middle of Catching Fire's attempt to be finished in time to release Jennifer Lawrence back into the X-Men wilds. As for the prospect of Lawrence handling the material? Who knows. Nothing in Ross's resume suggested he was the right choice for Hunger Games, and if you mash up Water for Elephants (with its rusty, sepia-tone-emulating style and romance) and I Am Legend (with its violence and poorly CGI-ed monsters), you'd end up with something living next door to the Hunger universe. Right? Now to complete the triumvirate, they need to hire Martin Lawrence. There's gotta be a role for him.
'I Am Legend' Sequel Deal Set, But Don't Call It a Prequel
In Development By Kate Erbland on February 17, 2012 | Comments (7)The news that Warner Bros. has just made deals with Akiva Goldsman and Overbrook Entertainment to bring us an I Am Legend sequel is not surprising (as it's been chattered about for years now), but it does somewhat confoundingly smack of an article from The Onion yesterday. That article, titled "Moviegoers Not Interested In Hearing What Is, Isn't Possible, Demand Heath Ledger 'Dark Knight Rises' Appearance" might focus on the impossibility of bringing back the deceased Ledger for The Dark Knight Rises, but it does remind of the impossibility of bringing back the central character of I Am Legend: Will Smith's Robert Neville, who (spoiler alert?) crocked off at the end of the first film. But no matter in Hollywoodland! Though a second film has been talked about ever since the first film did big business at the box office (making $584m worldwide), it was long thought that the new film would be a prequel, but today's report from Deadline Staten Island refutes that: "the film is not being called a prequel." Well, alrighty! Maybe if they can bring back Neville, they can bring back his charming German Shepard, too. The new film is set to be penned by Arash Amel (the scribe behind the new Grace Kelly biopic, Grace of Monaco). Smith is reportedly waiting until the script is ready before he commits, and director Francis Lawrence has yet to weigh in on his potential involvement.
Frances Lawrence Ditched 'Survivor,' His Futuristic 'Sgt. Rock' Won't be Happening, Will 'Houdini' or 'Unbroken' be His Next?
Features By Jack Giroux on October 22, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFrancis Lawrence keeps himself busy, and it shows when you look at his untrusty IMDB page. The director's name has been tied to a lot of projects in the past few years – Survivor, Sgt. Rock, Houdini, and more — but many of those films aren't ones Lawrence will be making. In my interview with the director, we spent some time discussing what may be next for him, either Houdini or Unbroken, and why certain projects didn't come together. First off, Lawrence won't be adapting Survivor, which he backed away from over two years ago. Not because the project died while he was working on it, but over a tonal issue:
Review: 'Water For Elephants' Takes the Circus Seriously
Movie Reviews By Scott Beggs on April 22, 2011 | Comments (4)Let's say you're a greasy-haired young man of the 1930s, on the cusp of completing your Ivy League studies in veterinary medicine (which is apparently animal doctoring and not war fighter doctoring), when tragedy strikes. Your whole life is stolen away. Your first instinct is to hop on the first train out of town, right? Of course it is. That's exactly what happens to young Jacob (Robert Pattinson) in Water For Elephants. He loses his parents (the only family he has) and jumps aboard a train in the dark of night only to find out he's accidentally joined the circus. He proves his worth enough to stay by impressing the iron-fisted ring master August (Christoph Waltz), but he ends up impressing August's wife, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), a bit too much, and the elephant pile gets higher just in time for the company to buy an elephant meant to save all of them.
Studios have been afraid for too long. It's time to put Palahniuk's long, strange trip into the heart of American commercialism and religion on the big screen.

Review of: God's Acre
reviewed by
on 12/09/2011
This was a great film. First off, I have to say the cinematography was well done. the beginning shots told me this was someone who knew what they were doing. The content and the message was excellent and well delivered. My only critique would be that the three actors playing the sons, could have gave better vocal performances. There was a lacking in there conviction, however the content and the execution of the message compensated for any lacks. Well done.

A review of The Contarian Protection Markby Aorosz88 on 10/14/2012For a short, I definitely enjoyed it creepiness. Had a very paranormal feel and was executed very well. I can see its worthiness in the mentioned competition. A job well done. I think you captured the exact concept you were going for as well. Once again well done, and keep them coming.
A review of Sound Adviceby Aorosz88 on 10/03/2012What I enjoyed most about this film was the (as I said in the title) subtlety of the film. The narrators nonchalant mockery of the main character made it quite funny. If he had been more critical it would not have worked but the relaxed narrating about how poorly this mans life is makes it all the funnier. My only critique was the ending. I like that you see the narrator, but... read
A review of Ivoryby Aorosz88 on 12/02/2011This film was excellent. From the moment it began I was intrigued and knew that for the next few minutes it had my full attention. The character of Ivory is one that I find to be well developed as well as incredibly portrayed. (The acting throughout the film was impeccable) There is a story being told here and my only complaint is that it ends so abruptly, however it works... read

It's called the GoJo and it's "the only phone device that is truly hands-free." That's because it's basically a headband with a suction cup on it. You attach the suction cup to the back of your phone, slip it over the top of your head, and start talking. It's not Bluetooth. It's not a handsfree microphone and earpiece. It's a piece of plastic with a suction cup on it.
Really? This is what counts as innovation? Even if you get four headsets and "2 bonus non-slip grip mats" for ten bucks plus shipping, the idea has already been accomplished several years ago on the Internet. Look below. I bet you can buy tons of elastic bands for ten bucks. If you thought you looked odd with the Galaxy Note up against your face, wait until people see you rocking the GoJo.

DeCA's produce operations are challenged to keep shoppers coming in for more, says Bridget Bennett, category manager for produce sales, marketing and policy.
"Our philosophy of a full, fresh and customer-ready department is significant for our store personnel because they are keenly aware our produce departments are an integral part of determining future shopping trips," Bennett says. "We strive to remain relevant and reliable for our customers by delivering them a 21st century commissary benefit."
Bennett, who has worked with DeCA for the past 23 years including the past 11 years in produce, took time with Produce Retailer Editor Pamela Riemenschneider to talk about the agency's produce mission.
What makes each DeCA location unique?
B.B: Our produce associates at each commissary do an outstanding job of ensuring our stores are stocked with the items our customers want. Personal touches in merchandising can be found all around. We have different footprints and equipment in some of our stores, and sometimes the flow of the department is different. However, our produce departments are fresh and colorful, setting the tone for a great shopping experience.
What is DeCA's mission when it comes to your fresh produce programs?
B.B: We strive to provide the military community with fresh, high-quality produce at the best possible prices.

What makes DeCA stores different than a typical grocery store?
B.B: As a component of the Department of Defense, DeCA's established customer savings mandate is 30%. DeCA's produce operations operate similar to other retail produce departments with a slightly different set of rules and a different mission: DeCA exists solely to provide a worldwide benefit and thus we buy and sell products at cost.
DeCA is also source of employment for family members of those service members who routinely relocate, for military retirees, and for some guard and reserve members. Over 60% of our employees are affiliated with the military community. As a military spouse myself, I realized the importance of the commissary benefit at a young age. When I became a DeCA employee, it became so much more. Commissary employees have a sense of pride in their place of business, as well as knowing we "serve the most deserving" — our nation's service members, their families and retirees.
