How to Guess Someone's Astrological Sign
Has anyone ever guessed your astrological sign? It's an amazing feat to perform and it requires research and practice. While not everyone believes this is possible or that the Zodiac has any meaning, here are some tips from those who believe it can be done. Always remember though that this is just based on sun signs, if we were talking about Ascending/Rising signs it would be different since the ascending sign of someone represents how they appear to someone before we get to know them. We are also not talking about Moon signs which are the persons inner personality, emotions and reactions to certain things in their life, so it could complicate pin pointing down just their Sun sign, since that only represents their characteristics.
1Look for people with strong personalities. Are they confident in their habits? Do they display distinct qualities that most people do not possess? Do you know the person rather well? If so, this person may be a good candidate for analysis. On the other hand, does the person tend to act like everyone else? Is the person shy? Is the person quiet?

2Examine their appearance. If none of the obvious signs are there, look at the person carefully. What strikes you most about how they look?
- Aries: High set and narrow facial bones, broad foreheads, rosy cheeks, strong, well-proportioned body, above or below average height, and dark or sandy colored hair, strong eyebrows as well as clear and penetrating eyes which are often close-set.
- Taurus: Innocent, childlike eyes, full and thick, full lips, small/even teeth, and has thick hair with low forehead, slightly thicker than usual neck, attractive face.
- Gemini: A mischievous smile, full lips, average height, a well-proportioned chin, high cheekbones, youthful appearance, thin or even bird-boned, pointy features, long fingers, jaunty walk, bright and sparkling eyes, has great fashion sense.
- Cancer: Far-apart eyes, innocent facial features, below average height, a fleshy body and short legs, usually have brown hair, a round face, a prominent forehead, small eyes, a short and upturned nose, crooked teeth, and a full mouth. In essence, the upper body is invariably larger in proportion to the lower, which may make for a rather clumsy or top-heavy bodily appearance at times.
- Leo: Glamorous, thick mane-like dark hair, large dark eyes, proud and confident expression (resembles a lion), prominent nose, fuller than average lips, usually tall, with thin waists, trim athletic legs, broad shoulders and muscular body.
- Virgo: Fair, clean-looking skin, roundish head, delicately-shaped lips, large and clear expressive eyes with an outward apex, strong symmetrical refined features.
- Libra: Dimples on the cheeks, nose, knees, or elbows, chiseled lips, roundish head, small face, a thin nose, refined and well balanced features, makes lots of facial and hand gestures while talking, ringing laughter.
- Scorpio: strong attractive features, intense hypnotic penetrating eyes, glowing skin, questioning expression.
- Sagittarius: innocent face, chiseled facial-set, usually have a large and well-shaped skull, a high, broad forehead, has wide and infectious smile, a tall, slender and well formed figure with strong legs, usually good runners.
- Capricorn: A chiseled, certain face, doe-like steady eyes, brown or dark hair, capable hands, and prominent cheek bones.
- Aquarius: A friendly and approachable expression, vague expression, large and rounded eyes, finely chiseled features. Aquarians also have rarely average noses and lips that are full at the center and thin out toward the edges.
- Pisces: Innocent features, delicate and feminine expression, Pisces natives tend to be middle to short stature with short limbs. They lean toward corpulence (obesity) in their later years.
- Face - People born in the Spring tend to have an attractive face (not necessarily handsome or pretty, just striking): Aries, Taurus and Gemini
- Features - People born in the Summer tend to have exceptional skin and hair (hair does not have to be straight, just glamorous): Cancer, Leo, Virgo
- Movements - People born in the Fall tend to have natural, attractive gestures, looks, and movements: Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius
- Body - People born in the winter usually have a strong, attractive bodies: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
3Learn about astrological masculinity/femininity. It has little to do with being macho or girly. In fact, men with astrological femininity often compensate by acting macho (working out, claiming to be promiscuous or tough) and women with astrological masculinity often compensate by acting "girly" (wearing "girly" clothes and makeup, claiming to be emotional).
- Astrologically masculine qualities: Independent, dates a lot, tends to be rude and selfish, travels a lot, energetic, active, headstrong, talkative, confident, open-minded, sexual, flirtatious, prefers to pursue a mate.
- Astrologically feminine qualities: Prefers long-term relationships, prefers to stay at home, needs more sleep, methodical, considerate, reliable, kind, stubborn, polite, shy, prudish, prefers to be pursued.
- Here is the approximate ranking of signs from most masculine to most feminine: Leo, Aries, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer.
4Become familiar with the elements.
- Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Physical and active, tends to be rude and selfish, headstrong, confident, talented, charismatic, in good shape, into sports. In a word, the "doers."
- Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Physical and passive, perfectionist, hard-working, tends to be introverted, confident, reliable, consistent, interested in many things. In a word, the "thinkers."
- Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Mental and active, intelligent, interested in knowledge, energetic, charming, good with words, tends to be too changeable, articulate, optimistic. In a word, the "talkers."
- Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Mental, passive, and attractive, emotionally sensitive, fantasize, creative powerful thoughts and actions, passionate, sexual. In a word, the "feelers."
5Observe their behavior, especially in conflicts or while working in groups. We all learn to hide our inner feelings to some degree while in public. People usually display their astrological traits in relationships and tense interactions. Refer to the element for the nature of the reaction that they will use (for example, Aries' first reaction when faced with conflict is to yell or threaten, Gemini will talk his/her way out of it, Cancer usually responds with an emotional outburst, Taurus responds to conflict with silence and a posture of strength, etc.):
- Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): Usually responds to conflict with a bold, decisive, instinctive action in an attempt to trump the assault. Easily motivated to start tasks.
- Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): Tends to hold in their reaction and respond that the attempt to hurt them was futile, with passive aggressive behavior or with silence. Concentrates on finishing things well.
- Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): Tends to be artful with conflicts, and is known to try to avoid arguments. Good at motivating people.
6Pay attention to the age of the person's sign, Aries being the youngest and Pisces being the oldest, also known as the oldest souls: The younger signs tend to display quick tempers and be more selfish and eager to learn while the older signs are wiser, more compassionate and more set in their ways.
7Ask the person's birthday and birth time. Use Google to find a birth chart calculator.
8Don't use pick up lines like: "Hey, baby. What's your sign?" For one thing, pick up lines don't necessarily work, and for another, it takes all the fun out of guessing, doesn't it?
9Predict a person's two basic signs: 1) monthly sign such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini etc, and 2) yearly sign such as boar, rat, ox etc. Base your prediction from your study of astrology. The average guesser should have a 1/12 guess rate, and your results will be less than 1/12. Any study of astrology will, however small, improve on the 1/12 rate. Keep studying astrology from experts and from your own observations and your "guessing" will be 1/11 - 1/10.Ad

- Libra and Aquarius are difficult to tell apart. Libra is actively flirtatious and adds a theatrical flair to everything. Aquarius is more independent, and mixes a strong, mature attitude with the typical airy talkativeness.
- Sometimes people will display the qualities of a neighboring sign. Virgo is usually shy and reserved, and she'll usually be attracted to Capricorn or Scorpio. Similarly, Aries and Gemini can be equally as enthusiastic about food and drink as Taurus, but their focus is usually on other things. It's not uncommon for your guess to be one off. A person's sign traits will come out when they are in their natural state--when they are not trying too hard.
- Don't give up if you are wrong on the first try.
- For practice, guess someone's sign to yourself and then ask their birthday to check and see if you're right. Most people will think you are small-talking and not think anything of it.
- Each sun sign gives off different vibes--very subtle character traits that can't be put into words. Guessing right takes a lot of practice, so don't worry if you guess wrong at first.
- Don't jump to conclusions. Astrological traits are usually quite glaring.
- "I'm so mad at my boyfriend for breaking up with me, I want to get back at him." That's a normal, emotional response to a highly charged situation.
- If a girl likes to keep her room clean and tidy and the pictures straight, that is normal behavior.
- If a girl senses that a guy is about to propose and takes him to a jeweler to drop hints that he should buy the exact ring that she has had her eye on for the last two years, that is Virgo-like behavior.
- Remember to take astrology with a grain of salt.
- Fire signs are easy to recognize but sometimes difficult to tell apart. Leo cares a lot about his/her image and what other people think but rarely admits it yet is usually strong and confident; Sagittarius is good with words, tactful and coy but has the same energy, ambition and independent attitude as Aries. Aries is youthful, impulsive and aggressive and only cares about what others think when it is necessary.
- Everyone has different birth charts, so not everyone looks and acts in accordance to their birth signs. Also, some people may look and act more like their rising sign or moon sign rather than their sun sign.

Overview | Stem Cells | RHO GTPases | Arthritis | Tendonitis | Gifts | Email Us
Tendonitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon (bowed tendon) and suspensory ligament desmitis are common injuries of athletic horses that can be recalcitrant to treatment, resulting in significant economic loss to the equine industry. In addition to loss of performance due to suspensory desmitis, suspensory ligament injuries are believed to predispose horses to catastrophic breakdown injury and condylar fractures.
Traditional approaches to tendonitis/desmitis include therapy such as icing and bandaging. While such methods of treatment are valuable, they do not focus on improving the cellular response to injury. Enhancing the healing response on a cellular and molecular level may ultimately improve the quality of repair, improve the prognosis for return to performance, and decrease the incidence of re-injury.
Numerous growth factors have been investigated to enhance the synthesis, and diminish the loss of tendon/ligament tissue. The use of bone marrow aspirates to deliver a combination of growth factors has been used clinically for the last 10 years for treatment of equine suspensory ligament desmitis. Most recently, the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) has been investigated for augmented tissue repair in human oral and maxillofacial surgery.
PRP is exactly what its name suggests. The substance is a by-product of blood (plasma is the straw-colored liquid in which the blood cells are suspended) that is rich in platelets. PRP is generated through a simple centrifugation of blood.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) isolated using a commercially available kit(Harvest Tech) and ready for injection.
In the body, platelets perform many functions, including formation of a blood clot and release of growth factors into a wound. The rationale for the use of PRP in the treatment of tendonitis and desmitis arises from the combination of growth factors released from the platelets at the site of injury. Two additional incentives for using PRP in tendon and ligament repair include its availability (PRP is made patient-side by simple centrifugation) and that it will not be rejected by the patient's immune system since it is made from the patients own blood.
We are performing studies to determine the effects of PRP compared to bone marrow on the metabolism of equine tendons and ligaments. The expectation is that these studies will provide clinically relevant information regarding the efficacy and potential safety of blood-derived products for tendonitis and desmitis.

We are in the process of gutting our guest bathroom in a 1950s ranch. When we started the demo i. e. taking the tile off the walls and the wallboard, there is a really strong "old" smell. 3/4 of our house is from 1953. Is there a way to eliminate that smell that seems to be coming from inside the walls. You know that grandma's house musty smell. Just looking for suggestions. |

Use zinnser BIN primer sealer. If you Google you can read reports that it covers even cat odor ! I have had friends that used it and they say it is great. Also I saw a reference on GW to a thread that said be sure and use ammonia to wash the wood 1st , if you are going to wash it. Also clean up for BIN is ammonia...use GOOD ventilation with these products ! c |

Make sure there is no water damage or rotting wood. We once bought a house that had a bathroom with a certain *smell*. Once we started gutting it, we realized that the PO tiled right over the rot around the toilet. And, now we're in a house where we just redid the kitchen. But prior to re-doing it, I kept telling my husband that I couldn't stand the smell of the tap water. He kept saying *what smell?* Long story short, the old cast iron plumbing was so filled with yucky stuff, that it made the kitchen smell. Replaced pipes, no more smell. So, before you do any finish work, investigate behind the walls. |

Urban Education, Prevention & Policy Research |
Core prevention and intervention research activities conducted in the area of Urban Education, Prevention & Policy Research (UEPP) examine cultural and contextual factors that impact school achievement and the social-emotional development urban adolescents identified as being at high risk for school failure and other negative developmental outcomes. Conceptualized within developmental, ecological, and cultural theoretical frameworks, our research efforts serve to inform the design of comprehensive school-based preventive interventions that promote adaptive functioning and resilience among minority adolescents in multiple domains. The area's consultation and evaluation activities examine the extent to which educational reform initiatives adequately address issues of school equity, access, and educational attainment of disadvantaged minority youth in improving their educational trajectory. Sustained through established partnerships with key state level entities, universities, and school districts across Connecticut, UEPP strives to influence current educational policies and procedures that support the manner in which we engage, educate, and sustain urban adolescents.

It is estimated that up to 20 percent of men in San Francisco are affected by some degree of gynecomastia, or the development of breast tissue. In most cases, the cause is unknown, though some medical conditions and the use of certain drugs can sometimes be to blame.
If you are one of the many men with this common problem, Dr. Behmand is pleased to offer male breast reduction as a solution. This procedure serves to remove any glandular tissue and excess fat from the breast area; the result is a firm, flat, and masculine chest.
{ Back to top }
Am I a Candidate for Male Breast Reduction?
Because of the many causes of gynecomastia, Dr. Behmand will talk to you during your consultation about lifestyle changes that may naturally reduce the amount of existing breast tissue. If you are obese, you should first attempt to lose weight through exercise and diet. Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids, marijuana, or excessive alcohol, also cause gynecomastia; before attempting male breast reduction, you should discontinue use of these substances.
{ Back to top }
The Male Breast Reduction Procedure
Depending on the type and amount of breast tissue present, San Francisco plastic surgeon Ramin Behmand may use one of two male breast reduction techniques. If your gynecomastia is caused mostly by excess fat, Dr. Behmand will be able to treat you using only liposuction. Through a tiny incision, he will suction out the fat with a small tube (called a cannula).
If your breast enlargement is caused by glandular tissue in addition to fatty deposits, Dr. Behmand will remove the excess breast tissue and use liposuction to remove and contour the excess fatty tissue in the area.
After your gynecomastia surgery, you will experience moderate bruising and swelling in your chest. Most of these effects will subside after two weeks or so, with the majority of the swelling gone at six weeks after the operation. Your final results will be visible not long after that. When you come to our San Francisco-area office for a male breast reduction consultation with Dr. Behmand, he'll be able to give you specific instructions to make your gynecomastia treatment a success.

A successful pilot project at a wholesale distribution center has demonstrated that the final milestones of the Produce Traceability Initiative may be within the industry's grasp.
Randy Fletcher, vice president of logistics and supply chain management for Associated Grocers Inc., Baton Rouge, La., shared details about the firm's pilot project to capture both inbound and outbound Global Trade Identification Numbers and lot numbers at two workshops at the United Fresh Produce Association expo May 2-5 in New Orleans and in a May 17 interview with The Packer.
Associated Grocers Inc. serves about 220 retails stores Louisiana, east Texas and Mississippi. Fletcher said the company focused on the Produce Traceability Initiative since early this year.
"We decided this was an initiative that we wanted to part of," he said
Fletcher said the company teamed in a pilot project with Minneapolis-based C.H. Robinson and FoodLogiQ, Durham, N.C. He said the company also incorporated its warehouse management system in the pilot.
Fletcher said the pilot project proved that the company can capture the GTIN and lot numbers of inbound shipments of produce and transfer that information to the company's warehouse management system. He said the company used scanners to capture information on inbound cartons and tried both scanners and a voice pick system to capture outbound produce.
Associated Grocers hasn't made a decision yet on whether to use scanners or the voice pick system.
"Scanning may be more accurate than voice pick, but voice pick may be slightly more efficient, so we haven't made that final determination just yet," he said.
Fletcher said the company hadn't yet incorporated electronic communication of lot and GTIN information by advanced shipment notices from suppliers, but he expects that will happen. That would allow the receiver the ability to scan only the pallet code, instead of every inbound box.
He said growers of all sizes should be able to comply.
"There are relatively inexpensive solutions in terms of software and printing hardware so that most anyone can capture the necessary lot information at the field or packinghouse level with a relatively small investment," he said. "For what they have at risk, it is a very small investment for a very high rate of return in terms of their ability to manage their business."
Dan Vache, vice president of supply chain management for the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association, said Fletcher's presentations at the United Fresh expo's traceability demo center on PTI milestones six and seven were met with interest.

My experience of theater in Berkeley is that like the food in Costa Rica, it defies the laws of economics. The less you pay, the better it is, and vice versa. Several years ago I was given an expensive season's subscription to the Berkeley Rep, and to my great disappointment, almost all the shows turned out to be dreck, Overacted melodramas with gratuitous female nudity. Who needs a faux "Épater le Bourgeois" sensibility in a town that features The Explicit Players as regular naked street performers? If I wanted to watch Sex and the City, I could always go find someone who has a TV and watch it. Then I found a local community theater that puts on plays 3 blocks from my house, The Actor's Ensemble of Berkeley. They do a fantastic job. The performance of Long Day's Journey into Night they did was as good as the Broadway version I saw 20 years ago. Tickets for the Actor's Ensemble shows are only ten bucks, and well worth the price. The next show is Six Degrees of Seperation in October.
I have been on the mailing list for another of Berkeley's theater ensembles, the Shotgun Players, for a while, but had never seen a performance, but I got inspired this weekend to go see their production of Edmund Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. What a fantastic show! The setting is the open air amphitheater at John Hinckel Park in Berkeley (the original home of the California Shakespeare festival). The play is set in 17th century France, and the soldiers and swordsmen in their costumes look right at home in the park, appearing out of the trees or running down the aisles, swords flashing. Language is both a subject of the play and celebrated by the play, and The Shotgun Players picked a great translation of Rostand's play, and found someone able to do justice to the beautiful language and the part of Cyrano, Clive Worsley, who delivers a great performance. There are lots of memorable characters, from the pastry-chef poet to the lady-in-waiting with the swooping voice, and there is something for everyone in the family (over 8) to like: Musketeers, fancy dresses and swordplay for the pre-teens, star-crossed romance for the teens, great language for the adults, and wit for all to enjoy. And the cost? Up to you -- it is pass the hat donations at the end of the show. I was generous, because it is great to be able to support so much great inexpensive theater in Berkeley.
Cyrano de Bergerac is playing through Labor Day, and I highly recommend it for anyone over 8 years old. Bring warm clothes and a jacket, because it gets cold in the shade, especially if the fog comes in, and arrive 15 or 20 minutes early if you want to sit close to the center of the action.

I'm a long-time devotee of Richard Brenneman of the Berkeley Daily Planet's controversial but always entertaining Police Blotter, and oft quoted Berkeley Police Department Public Information Officer Joe "just the facts" Okies, but I am often curious about exactly where the crimes reported upon took place. The city of Berkeley used to publish great crime maps, but gave up updating them in 2003, for reasons that aren't clear to me. Now all they publish is a daily list of "Police Bulletins", as individual PDF files, the least accessible format imaginable.
To the rescue come Scott Brodsky and Google. In a brilliant mashup, Scott has automated a process for getting the data from the Berkeley police bulletins, and used the Google Maps API to layer the locations of the reported crimes on a Google map of Berkeley on his site, Incidentlog.com.
Check out the screenshot I took. Looks to me like Ashby between 80 and Telegraph has had a bit of a crime problem in the last month. You can even click on a marker, and get details of the crime. RSS feeds to come, writes Scott. Check the site out, fellow police blotter junkies.

This white stuff is only seen on top of potting soil in pots but never on the ground soil. What is this? Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Thu, Jun 24, 10 at 11:24
Crystals of the hardness minerals from the water, most likely. Outdoors the ground is watered with soft rainwater, which will leach away minerals constantly, even if you watered with hard water in between rains. |
Thanks for the reply. I suppose that this crystals would not affect my planting, then? |
The only time I have seen that kind of mineral buildup from my very hard water was in a pot of potting soil that was watered with the well water to the point of saturation and then left for seveal months while that water slowly evaporated. Normal watering with my very hard (mineeral laden) well water does not produce that even on plants that might have the normal nursery peat moss based potting soil, although I have seen some perlite or vermiculite float to that "soils" surface. Are you sure that is not vermiculite or perlite? |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Fri, Jun 25, 10 at 10:27
It looks pretty clearly like crystal flowers growing on the very top surface of the soil. Depending on your water (which of course varies regionally) you can have all sorts of different salts in different amounts. Calcium and magnesium are the most common cations, carbonate and sulfate the most common anions. That's 4 possible salts right there. Also, I suppose fertilizer salts could contribute as well, but the vast majority is probably from your water. |
Basically, 3/4 of the pot is peat moss, mixed with vermiculite, organic materials, perlite, epsom salt, bone meal, cottonseed meal, top soil, and etc.. Everything is pretty new. The perlite i have is kind of big in round shape. The white stuff on top of the soil is very tiny, looking like gritty sand |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Fri, Jun 25, 10 at 12:25
Epsom salt? I haven't heard of that as a potting mix ingredient. Depending on how much of that you used, it could be contributing also. Mag. sulfate. It can form cubic crystals, although other shapes can occur as well. |
I did not put much though. A lot of articles suggest adding some epsom salt to the ground soil mixture. I assume that it is good too for pots |
Most of the articles I have seen that suggest adding things such as Epsom Salts, gypsum, etc. are written by people being paid by the manufacturers to write that stuff so you will purchase those products. In the quantities usually suggested for adding Epsom Salts and/or gypsum to soils it would do little except waste your time, energy, and money. Adding a lot more can so unbalance the nutrients in your soil as to cause serious nutreint deficiency problems. Even coffee grounds and tea leaves can, in large enough quantities, create nutrient imbalances if nothing more is put onto the soil. |
If someone makes their own soil-less mix (and millions of us do), the addition of gypsum is essential to the health of the plants. It's a great way to provide a couple of essential elements without putting the pH out of whack. Not a fan of the Epsom salts in containers. Anyway, your particular potting mix is one that cannot drain well. Those ingredients are fine for in-ground plantings, but not containers. The use of containers changes the entire workings of a soil/root system. Even the finest top soil can begin to act like the enemy within the confines of a container. Since the drainage is going to be poor, you can expect that kind of crystallization to form on the soil surface. If you were to get rid of some of the peat moss, the vermiculite, bone meal, cottonseed meal, Epsom salts, and top soil you'd have something you could work with. |

Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Cigars
Ashton Heritage Puro Sol
Ashton Heritage Puro Sol is the first cigar from Ashton that sports a Cameroon wrapper. Of course, it's not just any Cameroon wrapper, but rather a top-grade sun grown Cameroon born in the rainforests of central Africa by the Meerapfel family, some of the best Cameroon growers in the world. The filler and binder consist of rich sun grown Dominican tobacco, blended by the legend himself, Carlito Fuente. The Ashton Heritage Puro Sol is also a proud high-ranking member of Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2012!
The toothy light brown wrapper leaf sits beneath an upscale red, gold, and white band reading "Puro Sol," Spanish for "pure sun." As with all Ashton cigars the construction is top-notch and the draw is quite easy. The smoothness is indescribable from the very first puff and the thick, blue smoke is teeming with nutty and creamy nuances. The finish is subtly sweet and there is just a touch of spice on the back of the throat. Very well-balanced and easy to smoke.
These medium-bodied treats are terrific for any connoisseur, especially those looking to make the jump from mild sticks to something with a bit more "oomph." They pair nicely with sweet white wine or champagne and make a great celebration cigar. Similar Cameroon beauties to this include Oliva Serie G and Arturo Fuente. Ashton has always made the cigars of luxury. Puro Sol is just another example of the rich heritage behind this wonderful cigar brand.

marshall's in lafayette has lots of plants 50-75% off. including crepe myrtles, roses, bouganvillia, hibiscus, etc.
i bought 2 climbing roses ... a Fourth of July and (i think) a Zephirine Drouhin (thornless). i've never had a climber before, and am in fact a rose novice. would appreciate tips on how to care for them right now, whether to plant or leave them in their 3 gal containers, etc. also would appreciate tip on this bouganvillia too. thanks so much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Now is a perfect time to plant them. They require the same care as any other rose, no fertilizer till spring. I have Zeffy, she is thornless, and when she blooms the smell is fantastic. |

Fall planting is great for roses and other shrubs, trees, and perennials. The bouganvilla is tropical and tender, I believe, and could freeze in zone 9. I used to live south of New Orleans, and occasionally we would get a real cold snap that would kill our hibiscuses etc. So I would plant bougie in a container that can be moved as needed, at least this year. In late spring you could plant it in the ground, but it will always have a chance of freezing. My understanding is bougies like to be pot-bound, to flower better, you might want to google it and see. The climbing roses do not need regular pruning like hybrid tea roses, that lots of folks are familiar with. Just prune to keep it the size you want it. In my zone 7 we do March and August. laurie laurie |

0Feb 28, '03 by nurseTLois Jean, The alternative.... M-care does not pay for LTC unless there is a hospitalization for 3 days, then they only pay for 100 days... or so. In my state, the Senator is trying to pass a bill that will allow M-caid to file liens against property owned by LTC residents to recover costs. LTC's are all for this new bill because if it doesnt pass they'll lose funds. Many elderly just need a nurse for BS checks or catheter changes or med set-up. It is alot cheaper to hire a nurse for one or two visits per month than to pay 3000.00 a month for LTC and risk losing every thing. Our country, as good as it is, does not take care of its' seniors. I really feel strongly about this. I'm sure I'm the only nurse in my area doing this and there's not enough of me to go around. My intention is to supply the demand by educating the public. Many elderly have no clue until they're hit with the issue, and all those LTC ins. companies never seem to kick in. Funny how that works isn't it? T

I was running through a green pasture in this adorable summer dress and barefoot. I could feel the breeze plain as day blowing gently through my long brown flowing hair. I look back and smile at my husband, however, it was not husband. It was Ashton Kutcher. Oh my gosh, Matt had turned into Ashton. He had our Nikon camera taking pictures of me and the scenery around us. (You know Ashton advertises Nikon---thats why I was thrilled when Matt got me one for Christmas) He slowly catches up to me, of course I was playing hard to get. He grabs my arm, sets the camera to the correct scene, and slowly moves in. Here it comes, I know we are going to kiss any moment, then...
"Mommy, wake up I have had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you?"Said Olivia. You have got to be kidding me. I quickly say yes, hoping to continue this sweet dream as soon as possible. Go back to sleep Dawn, go back to sleep, I kept telling myself. Olivia had her legs in my side, Matts was snoring, and I realized I had to be up in 30 minutes. There was no way I was going to go back to sleep. Aww...it was good while it lasted.

Unissued / unused footage - dates and locations may be unclear / unknown.
Admiralty films of wrecks in Malta Harbour (some of this material was used in New Pictorial NP 296.)
Underwater shots of coral, sea vegetation and fishes. Shot of diver James Hodges from the Admiralty Research Lab swimming along underwater with camera and diving apparatus. Footage is quite grainy and scratched in places. Several shots of wrecked ship - Tribal Class Destroyer 'Maori' ('Maoru'?) - on the bottom of the harbour, covered with vegetation, barnacles and gunk. We see the ladder, inside cabin and propellor of the ship.
Above the water in the pilot boat we see the breathing apparatus. A sailor starts a generator on board the deck.
More underwater shots with light illuminating parts of the wreck. Pan up cable. C/Us of winch with hawser round it. Propellor with rope entwined around it. Diver swims up towards surface of sea. Propellors turning slowly under water.

Fabrication of plasmonic resonance devices composed of large arrays of highly ordered gold nanocups is presented. The nanostructures are generated from periodic photoresist templates created by interference lithography and subsequent reflow, deposition, and dislodging. The nanocups are hemispherical in shape and arranged in both rectangular and hexagonal arrays with periods of ~500 nm. Their ability to support surface plasmonic resonances is manifested experimentally by reflectance spectroscopy. Theoretical modeling to ascertain the plasmonic spectra of these nanostructures is performed. The computed spectra of the rectangular structure are in qualitative agreement with the measurements. A weaker correlation observed for the hexagonal structure is explained by its more intricate symmetry which complicates the spectral response.

But what about sleep, which we take for granted and are so quick to sacrifice under the pressure of our workaday lives?Total sleep deprivation greatly impairs cognitive skills, leaving you in a state identical to drunkenness. But researchers are also finding that losing even one or two hours of sleep each night, over the course of two weeks, can render you as helpless as if you'd had no sleep at all. That means workaholics who swear by four to six hours a night are walking around with seriously diminished faculties. The scariest part?According to another recent study, we're not even aware of what's happening—the effects of sleep loss are that insidious.
Intrigued by the Air New Zealand findings, I set out to perform my own road test. With the help of Dr. Mark Rosekind, the president and chief scientist at Alertness Solutions, I re-created the study on a recent trip to Australia to visit my sister and her newborn daughter. Beginning a few days prior to my departure, I wore an Actiwatch—a mysterious little timepiece-like box that tracks sleeping patterns—on my wrist. (Not the most attractive of vacation accessories, I must admit.) Much to my sister's annoyance, I also pulled out a PDA three times a day to take a five-minute vigilance test.
Dr. Rosekind's analysis shows that my sleep time increased by an average of 50 minutes a night while away, and my cognitive abilities along with it. According to my performance tests, I was 80 percent more alert than when I was in the office. Most important, perhaps, I remained alert after I returned home and threw myself back into a busy week at work. My test scores were still 93 percent better than before my vacation—a fact that I'll gladly share with my superiors when the time comes to put in my next vacation request.
But vacations aren't the be-all and end-all panacea, as my case clearly demonstrates. On some evenings during my trips, after a long dinner and multiple glasses of wine (an activity that I don't, ahem, engage in during my working life), I didn't even have the heart to undertake a vigilance test, knowing that my results would be abysmal. And although I was getting more sleep, my average of six hours and 14 minutes was still well short of the recommended seven to nine hours per night. (For this, I suppose I can thank my early-rising new niece.) In short, it all depends on how you actually spend your vacation.
"In a world where everyone is moving too quickly, eating the wrong foods, and stressed, vacations are short-term Band-Aids that help you continue on," says Dr. Richard Carmona, the former U.S. surgeon general. "Americans need to learn how to work the vacation experience into their everyday lives." Now a vice-chairman of Canyon Ranch, Carmona has an interest in seeing people adopt the healthy behaviors they learn on vacation as long-term habits. That is, after all, the Canyon Ranch mission.
But the doctor is definitely onto something. A 2003 study from Tel Aviv University found that although vacations relieved stress and burnout among workers, the afterglow lasted only about three weeks, after which stress levels shot right up to their previous high. The solution?The researchers are mum, but I have one: another vacation.

PROVIDENCE — Former Brown University president Vartan Gregorian was honored in October in Andrew Carnegie's hometown in Scotland with an avenue named after him in a park that the American industrialist and philanthropist had given to the town.
A ceremony in Pittencrieff Park bestowed the name "Vartan's Way" on the avenue leading to a statue of Carnegie.
On a video played before the ceremony, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg quips that: "In New York City, we're used to doing things Vartan's Way."
Gregorian also helped plant a tree, using a spade that Carnegie had used when planting a tree at the park's dedication in 1904. Carnegie is said to have described the park as the most soul-satisfying gift that he ever made.
The honor was to recognize Gregorian's work, as the 12th president of the Carnegie Corporation, in getting the diverse Carnegie institutions working together to advance Carnegie's priorities, as Gregorian said, of "knowledge, education, health of democracies and international peace."

Here's an interesting article which proposes using super strong glass embedded with solar cells instead of traditional asphalt. This would have the benefits of removing snow and ice in rural areas but also has the potential to be a source for a building's energy requirements in urban environments. http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/innovation/01/19/smart.roads/index.html?hpt=C2

Childbirth was a woman's affair in early modern England, with most deliveries attended by midwives. Midwives were licensed by church officials and could thus be paid for their practice, which did not give way to that of male doctors until the eighteenth century. Along with the midwife, other women would be present at the birth as well, lending a hand in more difficult situations and giving support to both practitioner and mother. Thus, as mothers, midwives, and helpful neighbors, women collected recipes for all kinds of difficulties and illnesses surrounding pregnancy and childbirth.
The centerpiece of the volume pictured above was written by Louise Bourgeois Boursier (ca. 1563–1636), midwife to the queen of France, Marie de Médicis, and it records basic lessons of midwifery learned through Boursier's extensive experience. Her accounts of unusual cases and general advice about how to choose a wet-nurse do not prescribe as much as they provide examples. Boursier bequeathed her writings "to her Daughter as a Guide for her."
Other books on midwifery were written by men for a female readership. In one such volume, Thomas Raynalde tells his female readers that the book is meant for a better understanding of "how every thing cometh to pass within your bodies, in the time of conception, of bearing, and of birth." The images (seen at right) depict examples of "when the birth cometh not naturally" and the midwife must "do all her diligence and pain . . . to turn the birth tenderly with her anointed hands." Here we see male textual authority in dialogue with the midwife's experience. The hand authoring the book is male, but the hands facilitating the birth are female.

DANVILLE - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has reopened the Geode State Park campground shower buildings for the Memorial Day weekend after resolving lagoon capacity issues with the park's wastewater treatment system.
Currently, only walk-in campsites offering electricity remain available and campers wanting one of those remaining sites should plan to arrive as early as possible.
"Geode is a scenic park with a popular campground and a dedicated following," said Tom Basten, state parks district supervisor for southeast Iowa.
Geode State Park has a 174-acre lake known for excellent fishing for trophy sized largemouth bass and bluegills, as well as channel catfish and crappies.
Geode State Park is 15 miles west of Burlington, on the Henry-Des Moines County line.

This is an open letter to the people of Cleveland who take more newspapers than they pay for from a newspaper rack, better known as thieves.
First of all, you are not stealing from the Cleveland Daily Banner. You are stealing from the newspaper carrier who supplies the rack you stole the newspapers from. He or she has to pay for the newspapers, even the ones you steal. That is money out of their pockets. You say it is only 50 cents, or a dollar on Sunday. Well, why don't you just leave an extra 50 cents or a dollar?
The money in the rack pays for the newspapers the carrier gets daily. You steal the newspapers, the carrier has to pay for those out of their pockets. The carrier is responsible for the newspapers placed in the rack and they depend on honest people to pay for them. Most people are of the honest type. I am not fussing at you — just the thieves who take the newspapers they do not pay for.
Every newspaper stolen has to be paid for by the selling of three to four more newspapers to compensate for the stolen ones. The carriers are not making a fortune doing their routes and every newspaper not paid for is taking money from them. Most of the carriers are just trying to keep their heads above water. But the thieves are making it hard for them to work.
Just for your information: The last person I caught was fined $420 for stealing newspapers. Is it worth it? Don't get caught. Someone might be watching the rack you are stealing newspapers from and the excuse "I didn't realize I got more than one paper" will not work. While you are saying that, I don't realize that I am calling the police, and you can explain it to the judge.
Next, why do people take the copy out of the door? It is the same as the ones in the rack unless it's the only one left. You taking the door copy makes the rack look empty for the next person looking for a newspaper.
Why do people take the newspaper four to five papers from the top? It is the same as the top newspaper. All you are doing is messing up the newspapers for the next person wanting a paper.
Be a little considerate of the next person looking to purchase a newspaper. It doesn't take much.
Then we come to the person that stands inside the store and reads the paper and thinks putting it back in the stack is all right. It isn't. You open the donut box, you purchase it.
Cleveland is supposed to be in the Bible Belt. Sometimes I wonder. Be considerate of others, just a little. Pay for the newspapers you get. If you are going to read the newspaper in the store, do the right thing and pay for it.
This is just a note from a newspaper carrier.
— Omar Teague

So, was that a comment about my trip report being long?
Hee hee, I love the details!!
GREAT pictures!!!
I'm not going to write much about my trip since I know how long trip reports can get. So I thought I'd just post a lot of pictures and some captions with the pics.
A little trip background first: this latest trip was a surprise 10th anniversary trip for my DH. I only told him where we were going about 2 weeks before we left. It was also our first trip "home" to our home resort-SSR. Since this was like a second honeymoon for us we were having a blast "making out" in a lot of Photopass pictures.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. Though it was too short. We were only there Dec. 4-8th. But we did fit in MVMCP, dinner with Lou, Osborne Lights,and the Candlelight Processional. I loved being there before Christmas and I can't wait to take Cassidy back in 2008. She's going to love all the decorations and events.
On with the pictures!
I wore this pin during our trip. Lots of comments on the pink castle!
Saw "santa" at AK
Messing around with Goofy
Wore this on Walt's Birthday
We take this same picture everytime we eat at Tony's
No explaination needed!
MVMCP-notice how I have to stand on the curb to reach him
Tigger liked my hat
More to come!
I think the comments were about my report! lol- and yours...and CC's! lol
I love the pictures. It is a great way to do a report.
Actually, I don't mind READING long trip reports. I HATE WRITING them. I had posted my trip report on another forum and got through most of it and then people stopped making comments about wanting to read more so I never finished it. Maybe it's just me. I like to read where people want to hear more about my trip. Once people stop asking for more I figure they don't care anymore about it and I never finish it.
I'll post more pictures tomorrow. Good night!
I with you Lori. I really, really, really hate writing trip reports. It feels like a school assignment to me.
However when I do write them, I tend to write them out completely before posting them anywhere.
I think "photo trip reports" are a great compromise! They're a necessity for dining reviews.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
I love reading the long trip reports with the details. It gives me ideas for my trips and also makes me feel like I was there. I love writing them too, cause then I relive the memories from my trip. It does take awhile though.
I love the picture report - puts you right in the moment, so to speak.
And now for more pictures:
We were the anniversary couple at American Adventure
The Segway Tour was a surprise for Erin
Dinner with Lou at 50's Prime Time
Osborne Lights
Having fun!
Stitch liked Erin's hat
And me!!
Having fun with some family members
One last kiss at the MK before going home
I hoped you liked my pictures!
Very Nice! Love each and everyone. What a great way to do your report.
These pictures are fantastic Lori. It looks like you had a great time
