Also known as: Shameless self promotion for my trade! Muahahahahaaaa! Ahem. Anyway. I have posted for trades on the C&S forum and the House Plants forum, if anyone is interested. I don't really have any rare Sans., but if you are just starting out or need to fill in some of the more common ones, I may be your gal. Take a look, if you wish. My trade list is pretty exhaustive of my plant collection, but I'm sure I've missed a couple. I do still have a few golden hahniis that need homes... I am hoping to trade for other small to mid sized sans, or other types of plants. There are many that catch my eye:) I am trying to slim down my collection some by eliminating duplicates and acquiring only a few plants in return for many that I will be sending out. I am willing to trade multiple more common plants for one that I really want. My most wanted are (small plants or cuttings are preferred): Sorry for posting this here. I was going to put it on the exchange page, but it looks like nobody ever uses it... Thanks for looking! |

This is generally a pretty slow forum, only having become active recently. Technically, your post really does belong at Exchanges, not here. Don't know where you are geographically, but it's just too early in the season for trading. Folks still have snow in some places; it's still way too cold to swap (at least here in the Northeast). |
- Posted by FrugalFanny 4 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 17:11
Thanks PG. As I said, I know it belongs in the Exchange section, but when I looked there, the last post was July 2012, and before that, most are from 2006 and older. I didn't want to post where nobody would read it. In my other swap posts I stated that I will have to wait for warmer weather, but I just wanted to get them up to see what people were interested in so I can start separating/potting/rooting things and get them ready in time for trades. Also, I sort of live in two different places right now, and my plants are in both, so I need a little more time to get trades together, hence the early posts. I'm sorry I forgot to say those things here. So, if you or anybody else are interested, you can look at my other exchange posts, or reply here, so I can start getting things together. I want to offer people the best trades I can, and for me that requires forethought and planning. Best, |

Slow forum for mostly slow growing plants! |
I want one of those Gold Hahnii from you. I will have to check what I got extras for trade. Do you like jades? I have an extra Finger Jade. I have extra Futura Black Gold's. One Bantal Sensation. |
- Posted by FrugalFanny 4 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 28, 13 at 17:42
Thanks Laura:) Hopefully the forum takes off in the summer along with the plants! Stush, I have you on my list for a gold hahnii:) I'm pretty sure I have a black gold and I do have a Bantel's. I do have some jades, but for some reason I prefer the ones with flat leaves. Do you still have the gold flame available? If not I'm sure we can come up with something else. Best, |
FF, I'll put you down for a 'Gold Flame'. |

Thank you Stush:) |

Right now WM has lots and I mean lots of gold hahnii and gold flame. I also have several extra of each if anyone would like to trade when it warms up. Although here it's going to hit 75 again today. Just wait until the l00 in June! I am looking for Futura black gold...pretty. Also a twisted on my list of maybes. I also have some new offsets (pups, babies) of several that I'm not sure of the names. I bought a big box full of sans at a swapmeet at the end of last summer. There were several moonshine, I think a grey lady, looks like a silver queen but short. P.S. I want a silver queen. gawd, my list of wants grows. Ok, back to what was in the box um, two congos (I think). And several others. They were all pretty beaten up but for the price I took a chance and now they seem to be adjusted and started sprouting. One of the congos has an offset forming under the soil!! |

Entero, Thanks for sharing! Do you have any photos? Maybe the unnamed ones can be ID'd and/or people may want to trade with you? FF |
- Posted by Enterotoxigenic00 10 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 16:48
Hi FF, I posted pics on swap meet sans. Thanks, I hope someone can help me! |
- Posted by FrugalFanny 4 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 10:59
Entero, Thanks! Nice photos! And it looks like you've had some ID's already. FF |
Pardon my ignorance, but I can't seem to find the swap meet Sans page...is it in the plant exchange? |
- Posted by woodnative 6 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 28, 14 at 8:02
Yes.........click "Exchanges" to the right of "On topic Discusssions" right above the threads on the main page. If you do have Sans to trade (or wanted) it might be better in this forum to just post it in the name forum with some indication in the Title Block like "Have S. hahni cultivars to trade" or "Looking for S. senagamica" or "Daylilies for Sans???" or something to that effect. This is a relatively slower forum so it may catch more attention there. There are some very good people on here however and on here regularly. |

They are slow growing, I don't want to trade rare species for common ones, I am selling my collection or donating it to a major garden. with 250 collectors plants I don't want common ones any more. I am no longer a beginner. |
Norma, How nice of you to respond. Didn't hear from you in a while. Hope all is well. It would be nice to see a Norma collection at the Botanical Gardens. (did not want to post your last name). Definitely worth taking many pictures of. Stush |

My response to "WHYTHE SANS. EXCHANGE IS SO SLOW" Could it be because the plant is such a slow growing plant itself and nobody really has anything to say about how slow there sans is moving along? Or perhaps because they would rather talk about other plants more than sanseverias? Who knows forsure but one thing is Certain, it's very inactive to the point I have to remind myself not to even check it out because nothings going on there anyways. Maybe I spent to much time here today already so good night. Greg, |

All my sans are put away for the winter. They grow so slow and so like me every one has not too much to say. Come next month, will be a different story. |
- Posted by hijole 9 Sunny California (email@example.com) on Fri, Apr 4, 14 at 16:33
Stush, Now thats a nice display & Variety of Sanseverias, You are one organized Hombre. And thxz for sharing. Greg |
Hi Stan, How about giving us the names of all those lovely plants? Looks like that aquarium is your perfect winter hideaway. |
I used that tank last year with a lot of susscess. Wow, let's see; In the white tub; MoonShine, Forescate, Futura 'Asahi', 2 'hahnii', 2 Lavranos '23251'. Rest of tank L to R Fischeri Singalaris, 2 Gold Hahnii, 3 Streaker, 3 Ebay 'Weird', Kirkii 'Silver Blue'. Back row; Siam Silver, 'hahnii' Loops' Pride, 2 Bantel's Sensation, 'hahnii Silver Frost, and 'Morgenstern's Futura Aurea'. Glad you didn't ask me what's on my downstares stand. All grow so well in that tank. Stush |
Good growin' Stan! Very nice collection. Just curious, if you compare Futura Asahi with Morgensterns Futura Aurea, do you think they are the same? Seems like I have read somewhere that they may be. |
Barb, Yes they are. I was given them by two different people so I named them as they called them. I was told that trifasciata 'Golden Street' was also the same but was said to be taller growing. That I can't say so myself. May 20, 13 you gave me one. Thanks again. (I had to check my records). My memory is lacking these days. |
Well Stan, There are quite a few sans with more than one name. Side by side seems the best way to compare. I'm hoping for some warm weather, enough to carry the plants outside, but no, it's cold and rainy again. Thanks, Barb |

Hey Yawl, What do you say we all BOMB the Sanseveria exchange this week and update your sans, development regardless of whats happening to them i.e Not much but here's the latest picture. Or maybe something interesting has happened lets just Blow the Sans. exchange. And by the way Stan (Stush) your display of Sans is a really nice collection you have thwere. Greg |

I didn't read through this discussion, but just wanted to say I should have another crop of excess plants for postage this fall. Will post when I'm ready to dig 'em back up. Sorry, I don't feel the need to have each different one. It's a fault in my character of which I'm well aware when I come on this forum. So although I give many away, and do trade many other kinds of plants, I'm not a trader of Sans. I won't be a trader of anything until this fall, we're moving in a couple weeks... |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 18:11
Moving Purp, nearby or far, just curious? Gonna have lots of plants to move, eh? Wishing you luck w/ it should we not 'speak' again before then. Karen |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 10:07
Karen, we're moving out of a house we've been renting into one we actually own (when we finish paying for it) that's only about 1/2 mile away. Tried to convince the lady who owns this house to just trade with us, but she doesn't want to own a house she can't see or walk to. Yeah, I've been digging up plants the past couple weeks and moving them to my Mom's massive front yard bed since the house we're moving into has no garden beds - YET. I'm conflicted about that, but a dozen people have independently said it would all probably just get mowed if left here. I'm leaving a few knockout roses since nobody would mow those, some Persian shield shrubs, but there's also thousands of various bulbs and a few other things. When I moved here, I thought it was all lawn until I noticed some of the foliage was not grass. These had been getting mowed for YEARS: And these plants I've added from other sources, mostly trades (see, this is not THAT far OT!:) And definitely moving the stuff I had when I moved in: By the time I get beds going, I'll only be shopping from Mom's yard. No way I'll have room to take it all back as fast as it can multiply. Needless to say, Mom's extremely excited about this sudden boon in her landscape. I told her when I turned a big chunk of her front yard that was too shady for grass into a giant bed that it would eventually be filled with a beautiful garden. It was a few years ago that we started piling the leaves there as mulch, and she and I have both added many plants to the bed, but until this week, it was still pretty sparsely planted, shrubs that will be much bigger are still quite small. I've had to get creative for the stuff that needs more sun, planting new areas, but it was time to expand her landscaping in that direction anyway. Packing and moving the actual stuff in the house is child's play compared to moving the gardens - plants, bricks, rocks I've collected, and the stuff DH needs to fix on the house is pretty heavy work. Time (and weather) will tell if we actually get out of here when we said we would, the 21st. Yeah, I babbled probably way more than anybody wants to know, it happens. Thanks for the support! |
- Posted by hijole 9 Sunny California (email@example.com) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 11:31
Purpleinopp, Sounds like a major project, Ive often thought, How would I manage to take all this stuff to the new place IF I did move, I dont envy you for a second right now, I hope u find or have some good help with this task. And plz give us updates. Greg |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 14 at 11:05
Hey, Greg! Once I get started, I get in a zen-like mode and hours can slip by in what seems like a few minutes. I started a couple weeks ago, small, manageable loads. Some of the bulbs are very easy and obvious to dig up, but there's so much stuff still dormant that only I know where it is. Nobody else could avoid stepping in certain places, or slicing through stuff yet invisible. A long explanation of why I don't really want help I guess. I think I'm about halfway done but I'm just not sure yet. I've moved gardens before, but never this quantity of plants, and never with this luxury of being able to replant small loads within hours of digging them up. It's actually been a lot easier and quicker than I'd envisioned when I first started to think about what would need to be done. What I'm really excited about is seeing Mom's yard in about 2 years when everything's fully recovered. This stuff was on all 4 sides of this house, in separate little beds (comparatively,) but will (almost) all be visible from one spot at her house. Thanks for reminding me! Will try to remember to take the 'before' pic of them for this years' outside foray at Mom's house. Otherwise, the pic of them this coming Sept/Oct won't be very visually informative! ...to go back toward the topic of trading... Sans are so similar to Cannas, in growth habit, so easy to multiply and share/trade. Anyone who has put Cannas in the ground should know what I'm talking about. When I lived in OH, it was necessary to dig up the rhizomes for winter, and it was always a shock - how many MORE of them there would be in the short few months they had the chance to grow. The Cannas I had there are the same ones here, moved a small patch of them and now have some at Mom's, in about 6 places here, and I've sent big boxes of them to at least a dozen people over the past year. A discussion about sharing/trading should definitely drum-up interest in doing so. Of course there are risks of pests whenever one takes plants outside, but I would encourage folks who have the space and interest to do so to put some Sans in the ground for summer. Not everyone would be willing to experiment with their plants, understandable, and please don't if you feel that way. But there's nothing magical* about the 'dirt' in my yard, or the care (none) plants were given the past couple summers in the ground. I probably shouldn't be saying this because once everyone gets some Sans, I won't have 'my main leverage' in trading, but it was so fun and the results were so amazing, I'm spilling the beans. To draw attention to the fact one is actively interested in trading, say so in your profile, then make sure your exchange page has current info. If your 'looking for' only has 1 thing and you don't say something like "open to suggestions," anybody who doesn't have that 1 thing may not bother contacting you. Oh, and keep forgetting to say, trades of multiple items are more fun and economical, IME/O. They can take a lot more back'n'forth to arrive at the selection for both ends, but man it's fun to get a package with 'a bunch' of plants in it! For those who have the ground space (and interest,) try putting some cuttings of other plants you might have, to see what else you can so-easily generate for trading this fall. (And don't forget that pieces of Sans leaves can generate pups, as well as the rhizomes!) I may be drawing an unnecessary line, but I don't do this with woody entities because I think their roots would explore too far to comfortably be extracted later, for either me or the plant, I'm not sure, just seems wrong. But any plants that don't have a tree-like woody stem, I consider worth trying. - Tiffany *Many plants are sensitive to the chemicals in weed'n'feed and products like that sometimes used in lawns/landscapes. I don't know how one would find that info in regard to non-hardy plants, or if such info exists. BUT, if being chemical-free is a magical property, the dirt in my yard would qualify for that, at least for the 7 years I've been here. From what very little I know about garden chemicals, I would not put any house plants in beds adjacent to lawns treated with them. If you watch the 'clinic' forum for a time, you will see posts about ornamental plant problems that turn out to be suspected or even assumed to be linked to chemicals put on the lawn. |
- Posted by hijole 9 Sunny California (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Apr 10, 14 at 15:12
purpleinopp, I completely understand what you mean by wanting to do it yourself, You want it done a certain way and by others helping it could take you even longer which is actually no help at all. I remember hearing some kids asking if they could help & they were told, Yeah you can help by getting out of the way Lol.. Ok, ok ... Well have fun on your move hopefully you wont have to do it anytime soon again. I might be one interested in this trading venture once your ready, and that's a pretty nice list you have going there too. Greg |

The brown spots are from some sort of chemicals you have used on your leaves. The white is very common for end of summer lilacs and in fact can only be avoided by treating with an anti-fungus sort of spray in the beginning stages. Just make sure that once the leaves drop for the season, you rake good and catch it early next year, before it takes hold. Mike |
- Posted by newhomeowner-2009 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 2, 12 at 13:50
Hmm... I don't really use chemicals on the leaves, though I did put down some anti-weed stuff on the grass some weeks ago. I was careful to keep it off the lilacs. By the way, I posted a link to this discussion in the shrubs forum, and there was a general belief that I had planted far too close to the house. Do you agree? |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (email@example.com) on Sun, Sep 2, 12 at 19:49
Hi Newhomeowner. I wish I knew your real name:-0) I have been growing Lilacs for years and have had them up even closer to my home. They are impossible to burn unless something accidently got sprayed on them or from frost damage. In fact, I think they will love that spot. They will flourish from the lime leached from the cement and will not be bothered by your home. If anything, they will learn to grow away from your house. I have been doing some searching for you and found nothing that looks like the leaves on yours. I'll link you to images to see if you recognize anything. I hope this helps. Good luck with them. I hope this was only a fluke thing for you. http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=aaplw&sz=all&va=lilac+diseases Mike |
- Posted by newhomeowner-2009 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 2, 12 at 19:57
Thanks, Mike. Well you know, I'm hearing that since these lilacs grow so large, they may cause damage. See http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/shrubs/msg091924433130.html?10 What do you think? I'll be happy to move them in the spring, if that's best, or not, so I'd be curious to get your view on the discussion. |

Guide to Opening Day: To Bong or Not to Bong?
Beer April 9th, 2009
To Bong or Not to Bong?: A guide to getting drunk
"Luther said I could learn some things from you. I already know how to drink" - The Sting
Of course you know how to drink. I wouldn't doubt it for a second. You've probably never had too much to drink and thrown up. Or said something you shouldn't have. Fell down, been thrown out of a bar, attempted a backflip or chewed your arm off to get away from a girl you woke up next to. You've probably never kissed a dude because you thought it would be funny or split your pants or threw up at a bar ON the bar. You know how to drink, you wouldn't do these things.
Here's the thing, I have. I've done all those things. I have done more stupid things while I was drunk then pretty much everyone you've ever met. I've ruined more relationships, spilled more tequilla on myself, sent more regrettable texts and had more heads shaken at me (oh, you) than my entire readership combined. Is this something I'm proud of? Of course not. I wish I could drink like a normal person and do normal things. I wish I had more than three readers. It's just that when I drink I am fairly certain that I can do a standing backflip and will later have to throw up. These things happen. So while you may think you know how to drink, I'm going to tell you how NOT to drink at Opening Day. It's my pleasure, really.

Cabling Arrangement
Everything that you need to use up the full 875W of power offered by the Toughpower XT 875W is here. As I mentioned before, the only native cables on the PSU are the main and ATX4+4/EPS12V cables. The rest are modular and include two 6+2 pin PCI-E cables, two 6 pin PCI-E cables, six Molex connectors, eight SATA connectors, and a single floppy connector.
As has been the trend with many power supplies lately, the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W uses a single 12V rail for power delivery. There isn't much to mention here other than that it negates the need for even power distribution amongst the rails.
A Look Inside
Opening things up, we can see a trio of heatsinks cooling the power supply. There is a lot going on inside the Toughpower XT 875W, but it is organized well so that air can permeate and cool throughout the entire unit.
Interestingly enough, Thermaltake only uses a single capacitor on the primary side. It is a Japanese made Nippon Chemi-con cap.
Despite the build quality throughout the entire power supply, we see that Thermaltake is still using Taiwanese manufactured Teapo capacitors on the secondary.

The Maine Insurance Code, at 24-A M.R.S.A. §1420-E, provides that in order to approve an application for producer licensing, the Superintendent must find that the applicant has paid any required fees set forth in section 601. 18) Section 601 of the Insurance Code requires applicants for resident producer licensing to pay an application filing fee of $15.00 and an issuance fee of $30.00, for a total of $45.00. 19) The Superintendent FINDS that Mr. Richwalder has not paid the fees required for producer licensing because his check for $45.00 was not honored due to insufficient funds, which violates 24-A M.R.S.A. §1420-E and §601, and therefore constitutes grounds for action against Mr. Richwalder's license under §1420-K(1)(B).
20) The Maine Insurance Code, at 24-A M.R.S.A. §220(2), provides that: "All insurers and other persons required to be licensed pursuant to this Title shall respond to all lawful inquiries of the superintendent that relate to resolution of consumer complaints involving the licensee within 14 days of receipt of the inquiry and to all other lawful inquiries of the superintendent within 30 days of receipt. If a substantive response can not in good faith be provided within the time period, the person required to respond shall so advise the superintendent and provide the reason for the inability to respond." 21) Mr. Richwalder did not respond to the letters dated March 29, 2004, June 14, 2004, and November 17, 2004, in violation of §220(2), which constitutes statutory grounds for revoking Mr. Richwalder's producer license under §1420-K(1)(B) for violating insurance laws.
The resident insurance producer license of John Patrick Richwalder, License # PRR101572, National Producer # 6786769, is hereby REVOKED in accordance with the above findings, pursuant to 24-A M.R.S.A. §1417 and 24-A M.R.S.A. §1420-K. The effective date of this Order is August 1, 2005. NOTICE OF APPEAL RIGHTS This Decision and Order is a final agency action of the Superintendent of Insurance within the meaning of the Maine Administrative Procedures Act. It is appealable to the Superior Court in the manner provided in 24-A M.R.S.A. §236, 5 M.R.S.A. §11001, et seq., and M.R.Civ.P. 80C. Any party to the proceeding may initiate an appeal within thirty (30) days after receiving this notice, which has been given in accordance with the requirements of 24-A M.R.S.A. §213. Any aggrieved non-party whose interests are substantially and directly affected by the Decision and Order may initiate an appeal within forty (40) days of the issuance of this Decision and Order. There is no automatic stay pending appeal; application for stay may be made in the manner provided in 5 M.R.S.A. §11004. PER ORDER OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF INSURANCE

My husband hit the recharge button and the softener went into recharge mode. It ran for hours and hours. We unplugged the system to turn it off in hopes that it would re-set. When we plugged it back in, it was still in recharge mode. Our water is still in need of a charge. We have well-water (hard). Is there a quick fix in order to get it to recharge and then turn off until it has to recharge again? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know why but my posts keeps getting deleted here. The main piston/sealpack is probably jammed. The piston gets bent and jams up causing the system to run to drain constantly. Culligan has a retrofit kit to repair this issue. It contains a new sealpack, refill piston and newly designed guides to prevent this problem from happening again. This kit is available at your culligan dealer. Unfortunately there is no quick fix for this problem. If you are handy this is a pretty basic repair. Takes about 20 minutes. RJ |

Hallow's End 2008 guide (updated) {WoW}
Oct 18th 2008 12:52AM To add on all this (from EU realm):
After doing "Stop the Fires!" (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11131), The matron will give you "The Headless Horseman" (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11135), a one-time (yellow '!') quest to summon the Horseman. After doing this you can get the Daily "Call the Headless Horseman"(http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11405), which is basically the same quest, but a daily. So it seems like the double summons will only be for the first day.
about the drops, we got 1 mount, 0 pets and 0 helms in 10 runs, 1 or 2 brooms and rest only rings. Judging from the other posts, and what other guildies got, Id say pet and helm drop chance is unchanged (out of the 4-5 groups that went, I saw 3 or 4 helms being linked, 0 pets). Mount drop chance seems to be a few % as well, I was the only one that got it so far.
I was lucky enough to win the mount, and it is pretty awesome. Not only is it a feat of strength, it is a ground and flying mount, so you can summon it anywhere, and will need only 1 button on your bar if you get it :)

Well I should start off by telling you that i would have no idea what this website would be without my Nana AKA 'Julie B's Hive' telling me about it. I guess you could say I've inherited her joy for being in the kitchen and and also the excitement of other people enjoying what I can conjure up.
Cooking in the oven comes more naturally to me then on the stove top, although I'm trying to become better at it but it doesn't usually seem to work out. I love to try using new foods in things I make but usually find myself sticking to the everyday ordinary 'stuff' because I'm more accustomed to it.
My father is a wonderful cook and an even better BBQer. we usually have what we call a winter BBQ when he gets to go freeze so we can have something to tie us over until summer when we gather at my Nana's to have our family get together's.. even though most of the neighborhood kids end up there as well :P my sister is also amazing when it comes to food. when i need help with anything if Justus cant fix it I ask Nana, and if Nana can't, it's hopeless lol
Im Nnow currently attending Andover College as a Freshmen in Medical Assisting :)
My Nana's Baked Sante Fe Dip. its delicious.
Also Chocolate Frangelico Cake which I am AWESOME at making IF i do say so myself :) my dads Baked Haddock and Nana's Cucumber salad is the Bee's Knees too.. UUMMM Alex Pizza (in the old oven of course) and always Olive Gardens Famous Chicken Con Broccoli
Blueberry Bread, Spinach Artichoke dip, Bubblegum Push up pops, CRAB MELT AWAYS most definitely, Good's Potato chips, CHUNKY MONKEY from Ben and Jerry's, Pomegranates, Clementines, Cherries, and Langers 100% real Cranberry Juice

Baltimore Felon Exiled to More than 15 Years in Federal Prison for Illegally Possessing Firearms
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. sentenced Michael Martin, age 28, of Baltimore, today to 188 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession in a firearm, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Quarles enhanced Martin's sentence after finding that he was an armed career criminal based on two previous drug convictions and a conviction for assault with intent to murder.
According to his guilty plea, on April 10, 2007, Baltimore City Police Officers were executing a search warrant at Martin's residence. Prior to executing the search warrants, police officers observed Martin sitting in the front driver's seat of a 1995 Lincoln sedan. When police officers executed a search warrant for the vehicle, they recovered a black bag containing a loaded 10 mm Glock handgun and a loaded 9 mm Rugar handgun. They also recovered a .45 caliber Beretta pistol, which was laying against the black bag. The Beretta and the black bag were all located on the front driver's seat floorboard. Police officers also seized 148 grams of crack cocaine, packaged in 43 clear plastic bags, from the center console of the car and recovered the key to the 1995 Lincoln sedan from Martin when they executed the search warrants.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy and Assistant State's Attorney Albert Peisinger, the Baltimore City Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for their assistance in the investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant U.S. Attorney Harry M. Gruber, who is prosecuting the case.

WoW Insider's first World of Warcraft memories {WoW}
Nov 24th 2011 3:06PM Not my first WoW memory, but the most memorable moment was on my newbie Human Paladin during Vanilla, walking down the path into Wetlands. I remember saying "Holy crap, it's all so big"
Back then was different, I had seen Elwynn, Redridge and Dun Morough, and then seeing how big Wetlands was, I was in awe. I've been playing ever since.
Officers' Quarters: Burnout already? {WoW}
Mar 21st 2011 10:25AM My personal perception on the burnout thing has a few different aspects to it..
1) Guild burnout - After joining a guild who began raiding at the end of Ulduar, we were geared enough that we could drudge through the material all the way up to LK at the end of the expansion - with mostly everyone in full T10 + 30% icecrown buff, people were lovin it - high numbers, progression through the 12 bosses - but now that it takes a bit of time to gear up and the difficulty skewed a bit - guilds are burning out because raiding isn't as 'easy'. Especially if you were in a 'scrub' guild moving through the content late. I think that once firelands is out, guilds will be more inclined to start running through BWD and BoT when T11 is a bit easier to obtain.
2) Player burnout - it again falls with the idea that late in Wrath there was a lot of content to 'farm'. PUGs were running ToC and Ulduar for kicks and w T10 easy enough to obtain, people were running icecrown w the buff and enjoying it.
Grinding out reps and dungeons with more of an emphasis on CC which increases time played, is a stark contrast from late WotLK which most people remember as the end felt like the last 8-10 months.
I think things will change once people begin to outgear the original heroics and start finishing the runs in less than 40mins.
We shall see though.

Our scrub end-of-wrath guild fell apart and I'm at my gear limit without moving into raids, so I'll be actively looking for a new guild and hopefully re-ignite my zest for the game and thus allow me to complete my world events.

Nethaera's guide to getting the most from the forums {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2011 4:16PM It's just that people use the forums to complain about the game.
There are things I find frustrating about cataclysm but as a 24 year old in full time employment, it just doesn't bother me that much.
I want Ret DPS to fail less, I want Resto Shammy healing to get better, I want Volatile Air's to have a better drop rate. The Truegold transmute bothers me.
The simple fact is that people have to take the game in perspective. Ya, you pay $15 a month to play, so do I, because its a lot more fun than a lot of games I would otherwise play.
Blizzard knows whats up. They always, eventually, get to your *realistic* issue.

Defence & Security News - United States
"Our job is to preserve life," said Crown Point Officer Mile Knezevic, another SWAT team leader, "This is going to help preserve life."
Northwest Regional SWAT serves Merrillville, Crown Point, Schererville, Dyer, Griffith, Hobart, Lowell, Munster and Lake Station. If there is a situation involving an active shooter, the Caiman 6x6 MRAP would be deployed to the scene, Wiley said.
Besides protecting officers from bullets, the vehicle could be placed between the shooter and potential victims to keep them safe.
The Caiman 6x6 MRAP also could be a valuable resource during natural disasters, such as floods and blizzards.
The vehicle has the capability of driving through several feet of water or snow. It could be used to rescue residents trapped in their homes.
Wiley said the Caiman 6x6 MRAP has a price of $412,000, but the SWAT team obtained it at no cost through a federal government program that provides surplus military equipment to law enforcement.
Northwest Regional SWAT had been on a waiting list for the vehicle for more than a year. Following a letter from U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Merrillville, the team was notified it would be receiving the MRAP.

Man tried to sell marijuana to off duty cop.
The CHP has reported the arrest of two men in connection with transporting 20 pounds of marijuana through the Santa Clarita Valley.
The incident began on December 9th, when an off duty CHP officer was approached at an unknown local restaurant by a man named Marcel Onate. He informed the officer that he had a large amount of marijuana for sale, and even provided him with a small amount as a testament to his legitimacy.
The off duty officer then reported the incident to the CHP's Southern Division Investigative Services, who jumped into action. After identifying Onate, they found him leaving a local hotel with several large duffle bags in his hand. This time he was joined by an accomplice, identified as Michael Malisos.
The CHP decided to make their move while following the vehicle, at which point they conducted a traffic stop at the corner of Lyons Avenue and Orchard Village Rd Wednesday Afternoon.
With cooperation from local Sheriff's officials, the two men were arrested and charged at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station. They were arrested for the transportation and possession of marijuana for sale.

Top Ranking CIA Operatives: Al-Qaeda Is a Complete Fabrication
March 13, 2008 by TMO
Following is ommentary from the website polidics.com about a BBC documentary which argues that Western leaders invented and used the label of "al-Qaeda" to define an amorphous non-organization; the very defining of that organization justified radical military action and reduction of civil liberties–and perhaps more importantly also helps to perpetuate the staying in power of world leaders Tony Blair and George Bush, together with the neoconservative regime in Washington. Please click here to see the BBC video.
"BBC's killer documentary called "The Power of Nightmares." Top CIA officials openly admit, Al-Qaeda is a total and complete fabrication, never having existed at any time. The Bush administration needed a reason that complied with the Laws so they could go after "the bad guy of their choice" namely laws that had been set in place to protect us from mobs and "criminal organizations" such as the Mafia. They paid Jamal al Fadl, hundreds of thousands of dollars to back the U.S. Government's story of Al-qaeda, a "group" or criminal organization they could "legally" go after. This video documentary is off the hook…
FOX NEWS Interview with Ian Blair (LINK):Blair said, "Al Qaeda is not an organization. Al Qaeda is a way of working … but this has the hallmark of that approach."

This week's Fable Legends character breakdown is a minor double-whammy - Lionhead has also seen fit to post details of a new (playable?) area, the Deadlands, a "desolate corner of Albion" that's "patrolled by the Strangers, an elusive group of men and women who act as an army, police force and communications network for those travelling across or living along the edges of this harsh environment".
The grimly bearded Rook is one such Stranger, a plain-spoken Northerner and "seasoned warrior hewn straight from the granite of the mountains he's spent his life patrolling". He's travelled to the south of Albion to investigate a mysterious call for Heroes, and apparently isn't above dispensing "a little northern common sense" where the occasion calls for it. As a Northerner myself, I heartily approve. You bloody lowland pansies don't know you're born, etc.
The Lionhead blog post also takes a cheeky pop at the ever-popular debate about political correctness. "For centuries the Strangers was a strictly male organization, with the motto 'All men are born strangers'," it notes. "Women were admitted to the order following a showdown between the head Stranger and a fishwife who managed to knock him out, and the motto was amended to 'All men are born strangers, and women too'.
"An attempt to make this even more inclusive briefly saw "All people regardless of gender, creed, political affiliation, height, weight, foot size and hat preference are born strangers", before the order finally settled on the simpler 'All are born strangers'."
Well done everybody. Fans of fencing (no, not the kind you see around gardens) may prefer Sterling, the "perfect of skin".

Girls Basketball: Hillcrest's John Maniatis to be inducted into IHSA Girls Basketball Hall of Fame
By Tony Baranek firstname.lastname@example.com March 4, 2014 8:54PM
Hillcrest coach John Maniatis | Gary Middendorf/For Sun-Times Media

Updated: April 6, 2014 6:18AM
Twenty years ago, John Maniatis had designs on being a boys basketball coach.
Today, he said he wouldn't have had it any other way than spending his career teaching basketball on the girls side at Hillcrest.
Maniatis, who is 13 wins shy of 500 career victories, will be inducted into the IHSA Girls Basketball Hall of Fame in a ceremony in April at Illinois State University.
"Really humbling," Maniatis said. "I've been very fortunate to have had great assistant coaches around me, and players who have gone on and done great things.
"It helps to have that type of quality student/athlete that we've had at Hillcrest over the past 20 years."
Maniatis, 46, has a 487-100 record (.830 winning percentage), with 15 regional, seven sectional and three supersectional titles. The Hawks finished second in Class 3A in 2010 and '11 and third in '12.
In going 228-10, his Hawks teams have won 17 conference titles. From 1996 through 2004, Hillcrest won 87 league games, the third-longest streak in IHSA history.
"If I knew then what I know now some of those teams may have gone a little bit farther than they did," Maniatis said. "Every day has been a humbling experience, with the amount of energy, passion and pursuit of excellence that the players and the staff have all exhibited to the program."
His first team (1994-95) was 19-9. Only once since (17-12 in 2004-05) has a Hawks team won fewer games.
"When I first got the job at Hillcrest I thought the vision was to be the head boys basketball coach," Maniatis said. "When I was able to take the reins (with the girls team) I realized basketball is basketball. Everybody deserves an opportunity to have a chance to be excellent, and there are basketball players on both sides.
"I have no regrets. Making differences in people's lives is what it's all about."
Standing tall
Oak Lawn coach Janet Meyers did a pretty good job of reeling in her emotions after Thursday's 67-62 overtime loss to Marian Catholic in the Class 4A Bloom Sectional title game.
The subject of heart, though, did bring some mist to her eyes.
"There were so many times they could have given up ... but they kept their composure and rallied and took it into overtime," Meyers said about a comeback that included scoring seven consecutive points over the final 43 seconds of regulation.
It was a dramatic and powerful final showing for the Spartans, whose 25-1 record going into the state playoffs was less than heralded among most Southland girls basketball followers because of a regular-season schedule that lacked many ranked teams. Wins over Mother McAuley, Marist and the stellar effort against Marian brought some vindication.
"I think we might have got people thinking," Meyers said. "Everybody has kind of been questioning us, but I don't know how anybody can question us after this. We were right there with who will probably wind up being the state champions."
Player of the Week
Jasmine Lumpkin, of Joliet Catholic, is the SouthtownStar Girls Basketball Player of the week.
Lumpkin, a senior forward, scored 25 points in a 78-67 Class 3A sectional semifinal win over Morgan Park, added 27 points and 12 rebounds in a 78-70 sectional final victory over Bishop McNamara and contributed 14 points, eight rebounds and six steals as the Angels beat Washington 56-43 in the Lewis Supersectional.

Avanti 8 Bottle Countertop Wine Cooler - Black Model:EWC801-IS
Avanti 8 Bottle Countertop Wine Cooler - Black
The Avanti 8 Bottle Countertop Wine Cooler (EWC801-IS) offers vibration-free thermoelectric cooling for a selection of your choice bottles. Most wine coolers use a compressor to provide cooling, but a downside to compressor-powered cooling is that the compressor creates vibration that can be transferred to the wine. This vibration can disturb the delicate sediments in fine wine. With the thermoelectric system utilized by the Avanti EWC801-IS thermoelectric wine cooler, your wine is kept at the appropriate temperature and humidity levels without all that vibration.
The wine cooler features a sleek black cabinet with a platinum trimmed glass door, with concave glass and an integrated handle. The interior features three (3) slide out wire shelves with a scalloped design to keep your bottles steady. The soft interior light is controlled with the on/off switch on the touch screen panel should you want to show off your collection.
Unlike traditional compressor based cooling, thermoelectric systems eliminate vibration and excessive noiseCapacity:

Fall 2012 Color Preview: The Fantasy of Fall
By: Sara Mason
Posted: August 29, 2012, from the September 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Titanium can be used as an eyeliner or eye shadow, and can be layered over other colors for a smoky eye.
page 4 of 6
And although some clients are not going to do a full-blown makeup change, adding color to the lips is a simple way to provide a fall update. This season, there is a plethora of variations on the similar theme of color from which to choose. "The lips this fall are either deeply toned mulberry-wine-plum brown violets; soft nudes, even flesh-tones; or a very wearable soft rose tone," describes Katz. "Red is, of course, still being done, but the shift is toward richer colors. It's also a great way to try a bold new color." According to Bennett: "A client can buy a lipstick in a color she loves, but is afraid of. It's makeup: It's supposed to be fun!"
Vivid and vibrant
Pantone's Fall 2012 Fashion Color Report features vivid, beautiful jewel tones that have been injected into a palette of fall neutrals. As the season transitions from the heat of summer, Bright Chartreuse—a vivid yellow-green—pays homage to a typical spring shade and creates a bridge into the cooler days of fall. Reminiscent of bright green foliage, it provides a perfect accent to every color in the palette. "It's a fun shade for an eye shadow on dark brown eyes," says corrective makeup artist Donna Mee of Donna Mee, Inc. She recommends the color used as a loose shimmer shadow and applied with a wet, synthetic brush for a more vibrant fashion look.
Like the name implies, Pink Flambé is a delicious, vibrant pink with a bit of heat to it. According to Mee, it is this season's best lip color for warm complexions and is especially good for women with dark hair. If the color seems too intense, try it in a lip gloss for a more transparent pop of pink or use it as a lip stain with a sheer gloss over it, recommend the experts. "Lipstick is a great way to add color to the makeup bag," says Bennett. He is thankful that oranges and pinks and plums are on trend for lips again, as these are colors that people have shied away from in the past. "Start small and as your clients become more comfortable, add more color," Bennett suggests.
"A color I absolutely love that is fun to use over a bronzer for a pop of color is Tangerine Tango," says Paquin. She applies a small amount of this on the apples of the cheeks and blends it into the bronzer. According to Paquin, Tangerine Tango also looks terrific on its own as a subtle blush and can be used as a sheer lip gloss. "For clients who are a little color shy, you can add this as a gloss over a slightly warmer lipstick or lip pencil, and it will add a touch of vibrant color, without being too much," she explains. Tangerine Tango also can be paired with Pink Flambé for a retro feeling.
To bring a calming element to the mix, combine these vibrant, warm tones with Ultramarine Green, a deep cooling blue-green that is neither bright kelly green nor deep forest green. "Green is a color people can learn from; it shouldn't be avoided as much as people think," says Katz. She suggests pairing Ultramarine Green with French Roast as a shadow or liner. It also can be diluted with a black to give it a deep tone, or mixed with gray or a slightly metallic hue. "Metallics make some of the vibrant colors that may seem inaccessible more wearable," says Katz. "Smoked up with a dark metallicized brown on the eyes, Ultramarine Green looks utterly enchanting and captivating."

Enter a world of living history where handmade pop-ups, movables and miniature pamphlets offer an unexpected glimpse of the so-called progress of civilization. Professor M. J. Pinkerton is a fictional character—although we like to think of him as a relative of the famous Pinkerton Detectives of the American Wild West. In other words, he is a sleuth of history with a penchant for social commentary and a love of decorative pattern.

The Department of Inter-Orthodox and Inter-Faith Relations represents the Antiochian Archdiocese in ecumenical activities both within the Orthodox Church and with other Christian churches. Orthodox participation in ecumenical dialogue with other Christian churches is motivated by Christ's call to love the whole of humanity, to witness to Orthodoxy everywhere, and to listen to and learn from others, acknowledging what is good and positive wherever it exists. With this said, Orthodox participants in ecumenical dialogue believe that the imperative to participate in ecumenism is always checked by the belief that true Christian unity cannot be achieved on the basis of a common minimalism. Thus, our beliefs and practice cannot be changed or be reduced to accommodate notions of unity that are not grounded in the fullness of the Orthodox faith.
The Antiochian Archdiocese participates in inter-Orthodox activities and the ecumenical movement in the following areas: 1) The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America; 2) Christian Churches Together in the USA (CCT); 3) Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation; 4) Orthodox-Lutheran Theological Consultation.

Christian Churches Together in the USA: Very Rev. Olof H. Scott
Our archdiocese continues in its participation as a member of Christian Churches Together in the U.S.A. (CCT). CCT is a coalition of five Church Families, Historic Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical/Pentecostal, and Historic Black along with Christian service organizations. The Orthodox representation in this organization continues to be the same six Orthodox jurisdictions, three Eastern (Antiochian, Greek, OCA) and three Oriental (Armenian, Coptic, Syrian). All proclamations and statements issued by CCT are the result of consensus by the member bodies.
Fr. Olof Scott serves on the Steering Committee which is charged with the planning and work of CCT in between annual meetings. He is currently one of three Orthodox members, one Eastern and two Oriental, on this committee.

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 Lira!
Facts about Lira
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lira's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lira is a beautiful, soft spoken girl that loves to love! Though quiet at first, she enjoys attention and affection and is a real snuggle bug. She would make an excellent addition to any home.
Other Pets at Tree House Bucktown Branch Adoption Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lira, a Chicago Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago 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 Chicago 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 Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

Version and / or Patch Used: 4.00

Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
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.
We found a dip about 70% through the test where the performance went down to 356MB/s. The average sequential read speed was 411MB/s and the maximum was just over 420MB/s.
When it comes to the average write speed, very little on the market can compare to the S301. Here we see compressible data and the only real contender is the OCZ Vector since the Intel 335 and OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS will drop off when we test with incompressible data. We'll get to those tests later in this review.

I just moved into a newly built house, the builder has laid bermuda sod (hybrid I assume) - the problem is the landscapers ran out of sod and now looks like I have 2/3 one type of grass and 1/3 different. It really looks bad, looks like the 2/3 part is growing well and I just mowed it for the first time last weekend, the 1/3 in the front doesn't look like it's going anywhere with brown spots. Is the 1/3 already going dormant? - we are talking Austin, TX and temperature didn't drop below 50*F yet. I will attach some photos later - but just to see what I am dealing with, is it something I will have to address with the builder or can I leave it like that and it will come back in the spring |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just a thought here... It may be the same type of Bermuda but from different shipments with one being much fresher cut than the other when it was laid. If the landscaper buys from some certain dealer then that dealer would most likely carry one species of Bermuda grass that he gets from his grower. Steve |
That actually makes perfect sense - so the good old question, it's been a month and I just cut the grass for the first time last weekend, do I need to fertilize it now? |
The most oft given advice for my area in DFW is to fertilize at a reduced rate after the second mowing but that applies to my area, not necessarily yours (although Austin shouldn't be an issue)... Additionally, with cooler weather coming on quickly, you have to be careful about a product's nitrogen content because you don't want to stimulate new top growth when colder weather may just come along and kill it, weakening the plants in the process (energy expended with no viable return). A fall fertilization is generally a good thing but applied too late and it doesn't always do what you need it to do. Check with your local experts or local Master Gardeners for suggestions on products and timing. *Note: if you're an organic gardener/lawn grower type, most organic products can be applied nearly round with good results and without the issues noted above. Steve |

Can you confirm that you have bermuda? How are you watering the new sod? Did they roll the sod down? How high/low did you mow? and does it seem to still be growing? |

I have ten 2-year old Jersey Knight asparagus crowns that I am about to plant in my garden. Not knowing much about how to plant and care for them them, I am finding some conflicting information on the internet.
The Ohio State University Extension has a detailed fact sheet on growing asparagus: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1603.html It advises to dig a furrow and simply toss the crowns into the furrow, stating "the plants will grow regardless of how they land so don't bother to spread the roots." It goes on to state "After planting, back fill the furrow to its original soil level. It isn't necessary to gradually cover the crowns with a few inches of soil until the furrow is filled in." However, I found instructions on "The Tasteful Garden" (http://www.tastefulgarden.com/store/pc/Asparagus-Jersey-Knight-hybrid-62p619.htm) which explain: "As the asparagus begins to grow, gradually fill in the furrow with soil. (Be careful not to cover any of the asparagus foliage.) The furrows should be filled to ground level by the end of the first growing season." The OSU Extension also says about harvesting:
However, the Tasteful Garden says: "Use a knife to harvest spears. Use one hand to hold the top of the spear you are harvesting. Cut the spear off about one inch below the soil line." Can anyone with asparagus experience help educate me? Should I just throw these crowns into a hole and loosely cover them up? Or do I need to "gradually" fill them in as they grow? Also, with 2-year old crowns, do I need to wait for a full growing season before harvesting? Or can I start harvesting this summer if the shoots are large enough? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
First, no you cannot harvest this first year. Well you 'can' since no one will stop you, but you shouldn't. And go easy next year too for best results. Second the Ohio State article isn't really off-base when it comes to planting. They will grow but it is better IME to arrange them just a bit. The point is you don't have to get carried away with arranging them perfectly or follow the age old guidelines of build a hill in a 12" deep trench and carefully arrange the roots around the hill with the crown perfectly centered on top etc. OK? 6=8" trench is the recommended depth for planting rather than the old 12" deep trench. As to the refilling rather than just covering and leveling - the gradually refilling approach is more so you can see which one take and which ones don't and can easily replace if needed. Either way works fine because if one never comes up you can always replace it in that space next year. Harvesting is mostly a personal preference - snap off vs. knife and at soil level vs. just below. The below soil level/sharp knife approach is supposed to discourage asparagus beetles from laying their eggs in the cut stems. I'm of the cut with knife at soil level then cover lightly school. That way I don't hurt anything. Hope this helps. Dave |
I haven't planted my crowns yet (I'm still building beds!), but I also noticed the differences between the OSU Extension and pretty much everyone else. If I recall correctly, they also recommend planting the crowns more shallowly than many do, and say that there is no value in harvesting lightly the second year, and that it can actually be detrimental to do so. They suggest they've done studies (or at least simple side-by-side comparisons) on the topic. So...generally speaking, I would tend to think "OSU has actually done some tests, and they know what they're talking about" and think that their advice might be better than the conventional wisdom, no matter how conventional it might be. But again, given that I haven't yet grown any asparagus myself, I'm wondering the same things you are. |
The only reason to plant more then 6-8 inches deep is to have bleached/white spears. To do this you will need 12-18 inches deep & an asparagus Knife. Check out the link & read the Harvest & Storage on a third technigue. It tells how to harvest asparagus in July! |

I am hoping that someone can offer some guidance for me on this question. I need to place a machine railing or a set of bollards in front of my furnace and water heaters in my garage.
Since this is a house and not an industrial or commercial site, is there any thing out there that you know of that looks better than these things? Has anyone out there had a sheet metal manufacturer make one for them or do you know of an attractive alternative? Thanks in advance for your help! |

Bollards are posts that are used in a garage to prevent somebody from driving a vehicle into a fuel using or storing appliance. Here in MA, we generally sink a 4" steel tube in the ground befor pouring the floor and fill it with concrete. You want something strong, and I don't think sheet metal would cut it with the inspectors I know. |
