it all depends on the conditions they are grown in. Humidity and temps can all have an influence on the time a flower lasts |

Hi...thank you will finish this question in the orchid sec..so sorry but Orchidguy u found me lol Having so much trouble with my passion flowers they are so hating our cold nites ..droping buds dried up leaves right after a 48-58 nite ..I don't know what to do ? It's on my porch open windows warm days but unusual cold times hit it bad.caerulea passiflora..after the first nite of leaving out droped 6 buds ..then warm days more buds recooped ..Then thre other night very cold again..same reaction..after all these people said it is cold tolerate??? I read it isn't here in zone 10?thx |
Is your caerulea in a pot? That may be the reason. 48-58 degrees is nothing for the caerulea. I'm in zone 8b and mine are in the ground. A week ago we dropped down to 32 and today we hit a high of 85. It's covered in flower buds that'll probably open in a week or so. I'm wondering if you might be over-watering? Passis really don't like wet feet. I've had passis in pots that I over-watered, and their leaves started to wilt. So I watered more, thinking they were thirsty, and then they started dropping buds. Even in a pot your cool weather shouldn't affect a caerulea. I'm thinking something else is factoring in here. If not over-watering, then something else. |

Yes it is in a pot about two feet high wqith a trellis can't spell it.. I tried not watering it thinking that was it heat was intence as well we hit 80-90's here doesn't like so much heat either. Leaves got yellow dried up but only after severe cold drops in temps. I adore this plant it means so much I stick my finger in real deep before watering it feels dry???????? I also read it likes to stay moist and does not like wind or cold makes a great house plant. When it got real cold I brought it back in also thinking each time it was moved pissed it off...Geesh ..It reminds me of me I hate the high humidity and then drop into cold in hours it's crazy here for sure . In a decade we haven''t had severe cold in March ... |

I would like to be able to demonstrate Publisher to my colleagues when I travel, but my laptop is not powerful enough and keeps crashing. So, I installed the software on a proper workstation with the thought that I could use Remote Desktop or VNC to show the workstation's screen on my laptop. However, I end up with the following:
So, with Remote Desktop I can see the tools but not the model, and with VNC I can see the model but not the tools.
Is there any way to successfully use Publisher via Remote Desktop or VNC?
This area is a little complex, and I am not sure what we officially support, but we do this sort of thing on a frequent basis so it should be possible to get something working for you.
Firtsly, Remote Desktop will only work where the server/remote system is running Window Vista or later. Windows XP is certainly completely unsupported. Given that, when establishing a connection to a remote system with a client, you are given the option of configuring several performance related-parameters. One of these is choosing the color depth to use, and even if your remote computer is configured for 32-bit color you may be displaying local in 256 color mode (for example) and I would guess this is the color mode being used to initialize the application. So, firstly, please make sure that the remote desktop session itself is configured for 32-bit color and start publisher after the fact.
Second, there are many different flavors and versions of VNC available and different settings which may be used. Some versions work better than others for particular uses. One thing to try would be a different VNC version. My personal favorite is TightVNC with the new 2.0 server software (this statement does not constitute an endorsement by Autodesk).

Other drugs for acute myeloid leukemia
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL or AML M3) is different from other types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in some important ways. First, the leukemia cells (or blasts) contain proteins that when released into the bloodstream cause the blood to clot in an out-of -control way. This can lead to problems not only with blood clots, but also with severe bleeding.
This was a big problem in the past, since treating APL with regular chemotherapy (chemo) drugs made those cells die and release these proteins into the bloodstream. Patients sometimes died from complications from the out of control clotting. Then experts realized that the leukemia cells in APL have a specific gene change that makes them sensitive to certain drugs that aren't like regular chemo drugs. These drugs signal the blasts to transform into mature (myeloid) cells. This process is known as differentiation and so these drugs are called differentiation agents. Since the blasts don't die, they don't release the harmful proteins into the blood, and the clotting process doesn't get out of control. There are 2 drugs that are used for this in APL: all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA, tretinoin, or Vesanoid®) and arsenic trioxide (ATO, Trisenox®).
ATRA is a form of vitamin A that is often part of the initial treatment of APL. It is often given along with chemo − an anthracycline drug with or without cytarabine. It can also be given with arsenic trioxide for the initial treatment of APL, in which case no regular chemo drugs are given. If ATRA is part of the initial treatment for APL, it is often used for some time after to keep the leukemia from coming back. For that part of the treatment, it may be used with chemo, with arsenic trioxide, or with both chemo and arsenic trioxide.
ATRA can have side effects similar to those seen if you take too much vitamin A. Symptoms include headache, fever, dry skin and mouth, skin rash, swollen feet, sores in the mouth or throat, itching and irritated eyes. It can also cause blood lipid levels (like those of cholesterol and triglycerides) to go up. Often blood liver tests become abnormal. These side effects often go away when the drug is stopped.
Arsenic trioxide
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a form of arsenic, which can be a poison. But doctors found that it can act in a way similar to ATRA in patients with APL. It can be given with ATRA, but it is also helpful in treating patients with APL whose leukemia came back after treatment with ATRA plus chemo. In those patients, ATO is given without chemo.
Most side effects of arsenic trioxide are mild and can include fatigue (tiredness), nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal (belly) pain, and nerve damage (called neuropathy) leading to numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Arsenic trioxide can also cause problems with heart rhythm, which can be serious. This is why your doctor may check your EKG often (even daily) while you are getting this drug.
Differentiation syndrome
The most important side effect of either of these drugs is a syndrome known as differentiation syndrome. It is most often only seen during the first cycle of treatment. Symptoms include breathing problems due to fluid buildup in the lungs and around the heart, low blood pressure, kidney damage, and severe fluid buildup elsewhere in the body. It can often be treated by stopping the drugs for a while and giving a steroid such as dexamethasone. This used to be called retinoic acid syndrome, until doctors realized that it happened after treatment with arsenic and not just ATRA.

As per his usual policy, Chip Kelly tonight didn't shed any light on the condition of Darron Thomas' knee after the quarterback was injured Saturday night against Arizona State.
"We don't have any sense" of Thomas' availability against Colorado this week, Kelly said. "We don't talk about it."
Kelly did say that Thomas' "attitude is great" today.
Kelly spoke highly of the efforts Oregon got out of Kenjon Barner and Bryan Bennett in place of LaMichael James and, after his injury, Thomas on Saturday. He balked at the notion that Barner "stepped up" his game in James' absence.
"I don't think it was him stepping up," Kelly said. "I think it was him revealing to everybody what we in the program knew about what a great running back he is."
Similarly, Kelly said that Bennett is "one of our hardest working guys" and that "it was good to see what we expect out of our players" in terms of staying prepared in the event of an injury.
If Thomas can't go this week, the backup to Bennett would be true freshman Marcus Mariota, who has dressed for every game as the No. 3 QB but has yet to play.
"Marcus' progress has been really, really good," Kelly said, calling him "real intelligent, real athletic. If we had to go to Marcus, I know I would feel real comfortable."
The only clue Kelly might have revealed about either Thomas or James going forward was in regards to his running back. In talking about Barner's effort, Kelly mentioned that Oregon had "lost — for the game — a really, really talented running back" in James, and it seemed like he made a pointing of including and emphasizing "for the game" — so perhaps James will be back this week? Or perhaps that's too much interpretation?
Kelly said the offensive line against ASU was "good but not great."
Looking ahead to Colorado, which is winless in the Pac-12, Kelly said the Buffs are "playing hard and competing," and he noted their minimal turnovers through the first half of the season.
Finally, in regards to his nationally televised rebuke to some fans prior to a postgame interview with ESPN on the field last night, Kelly said it was "spur of the moment."
"No. 1, you're not supposed to be on the field, and No. 2, just because you're a fan and paid for a ticket doesn't give you the right to say things that are inappropriate," Kelly said.

Kadner: Poor want fair shot at apartments
By Phil Kadner firstname.lastname@example.com January 24, 2013 9:08PM
Shirley Johnson, Program Director Metropolitan Tenants Organization, speaks during a town hall meeting to denounce discrimination in Housing Choice Voucher programs at the Progress Center in Blue Island, Illinois, Thursday, January 24, 2013. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 26, 2013 6:37AM
People with a Section 8 voucher want the right to live anywhere in Cook County.
During a town hall meeting held by the Metropolitan Tenants Organization, landlords were accused of discriminating against apartment tenants who were issued Housing Choice Vouchers, the new name for what used to be the federal rent-subsidy program called Section 8.
The solution may be an amendment to the Cook County human rights ordinance, which now protects people from discrimination based on income (specifically child support and Social Security) but does not include protections for those who hold Housing Choice Vouchers.
There are landlords who refuse to even let voucher holders fill out an application, according to Shirley Johnson, program director for MTO, and several voucher holders who spoke at the meeting in Blue Island.
The result is that people with vouchers are herded together into suburbs and Chicago communities that have high crime rates, poor schools, high unemployment and few public services.
Cook County Commissioner Deborah Sims (D-Chicago) said that when the Chicago public housing projects closed, most of those residents were directed to the south suburbs.
Commissioner Jesus Garcia (D-Chicago), a sponsor of the amendment, told the audience of about 100 that "we need to make it illegal in suburban Cook County to discriminate simply because people rely on a choice voucher for housing. This really has to do with human rights and human dignity."
My guess is that when many middle-class suburban homeowners hear the words "Section 8" and "voucher" a certain stereotype comes to mind.
Black. Hispanic. Poor.
They probably don't think about people such as Barry Remo, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam from 1967-68, who described his struggle with homelessness and finding an apartment while using a voucher. Remo, by the way, is white.
And what about disabled people, who have a difficult time finding employment and are often forced to accept low-income jobs?
Several disabled people — leaning heavily on walkers, strapped to oxygen tanks and, in one case, a person who was deaf — spoke at the meeting.
If your sister, brother, mother or father were disabled and qualified for a housing voucher, wouldn't you want them to at least have an opportunity to live in a suburban community near you?
If you answer "yes" on veterans and the disabled, the issue of discrimination based on race certainly seems to jump out. It did for me.
And I was forced to confront another issue that made me uncomfortable — economic discrimination.
Most people live in the best suburb they can afford to live in.
They buy their homes because the schools are good, the communities are safe, there may be shopping nearby or recreational activities offered for the family. It's a big financial investment, and some folks are willing to sacrifice a lot to live in such places.
Should they be forced to share their neighborhoods with people who have lower incomes? It's a nasty question to ask and unfortunately really wasn't addressed during the town hall meeting.
When I posed it directly to Johnson and John Bartlett, executive director of MTO, they responded with two answers.
First, if you don't disperse the low-income population throughout Cook County, you create massive problems for poorer suburbs that are already struggling and trying to pull themselves up.
Second, if people can pay their rent through a voucher, why shouldn't they be allowed to live anywhere they want?
Is it right to condemn them to towns where apartments are poorly maintained, public schools are struggling and the streets are not safe?
I believe the answer is "no," but I don't believe for a moment that will satisfy most people who become squeamish at the mention of subsidized housing vouchers.
For people in Orland Park, Oak Lawn or places in between who whine about being inundated by Housing Choice Voucher holders, I would say the reality is that most people, especially poor people, are in no hurry to go to a strange place where they know no one.
But poor people do need jobs if they're not going to be poor any longer, and putting them all together in towns such as Harvey, Robbins and Chicago Heights isn't going to make anything better.
However, the town hall meeting failed in a very real way to address some critical issues and raised a big question in my mind.
Chicago has an ordinance that forbids discrimination against tenants who have vouchers. But many of the people who spoke at the meeting live in Chicago and spoke of the discrimination they experienced.
Johnson told me they at least now have the opportunity to use the law against those landlords who discriminate.
Fine. But it didn't stop the landlords from refusing to let the voucher holders even fill out an application.
Lawsuits, it seems to me, don't help much when you're homeless and spending days and weeks traveling to find an apartment that someone will let you live in.
Nearly 40 percent of voucher recipients are employed, and more than 30 percent are senior citizens or persons with disabilities, according to information distributed by the Metropolitan Tenants Organization. Many of the homeless in this country are veterans.
I came to the Blue Island meeting willing to hear arguments about how to make things better. The influx of Section 8 residents in the south suburbs has been extraordinary over the past decade.
I didn't hear anything said about the need for the north and west suburbs to bear their share of the burden.
In theory, the Cook County amendment might do that. But in practice, I have real doubts.

I have a very heavy statue that I want to place onto my ceramic tile hearth and was wondering if anyone knew how much weight ceramic tile (Daltile) could withstand?
The tile floor has a concrete slab substrate. The statue sits on a 2' x 1' concrete base. The majority of the weight is concentrated in the base. I would guess the total weight to be approximately 60+ lbs. If I placed wheels on the base of the statue or sat it upon 2x4 blocks, would that help distribute the weight better on the tile floor? TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
The tile can handle 60 lb on a 1ft x 2ft base with no problem at all.. |
- Posted by maybeiloveyou (My Page) on Wed, Jul 27, 11 at 11:49
Generally speaking, tiles are very strong. Ours has a rating of '5' on that wear/strength scale (forgot what it's called) and it can withstand a lot. We have a massive object that's probably 300lb+ on a 2x3 area. No tiles have broken or cracked. |
Thank you both for answering. I feel much more confident now about putting it on the hearth. Now I have to convince DH. If it does break I will NEVER hear the end of it. : ) |

Castle Schrade
this wiki
Castle Schrade (シュレイド城) is an abandoned castle that was built long ago, with blood red skies that have dark hues, and swirls of purple clouds. It is now in ruins, a shadow of its former glory. The name Schrade is given by the region where the castle is located. This is a special area where Black Fatalis is fought.
[show]MH1 and MHF1
In the first Monster Hunter series, there were four stages of the Castle Schrade. Depending on how much Contract Fee is paid, you will be given the Castle Gate, Ballistae, Cannons, Dragonator, or all four as available weapons.
- Paying the 1600z Contract Fee will give you only Ballistas to use as weapons. The Castle Gate will be closed, preventing both Fatalis and hunters access to the other courtyard.
- Paying the 2200z Contract Fee will give you Ballistas and the Castle Gate as weapons. Both courtyards are accessible.
- Paying the 2400z Contract Fee will give you Ballistas, Cannons, and the Castle Gate as weapons. Both courtyards are accessible.
- Paying the 2800z Contract Fee will give you Ballistas, Cannons, Castle Gate, and the Dragonator as weapons. Both courtyards are accessible.
The Black Fatalis quests were often mistaken for four separate Quests. However, if you clear one of them, all others will be cleared as well.
MHF2 and MHFU
In the second series, the Black Fatalis quests in Castle Schrade are 50 minutes long and Fatalis flees with 25 minutes remaining if enough damage is done. If enough damage is not done hunters will continue to fight Fatalis until a certain health threshold (possibly 1/4 health) on which it will flee. All weapons are automatically available.

Eaton: New book reveals more about Obama's rise
By Fran Eaton Always Right/illinoisreview.typepad.com May 17, 2012 9:34PM
Updated: June 29, 2012 8:41AM
Another book about the Obamas hit the stands this week, and it reveals more about his rapid rise to the presidency, including an interesting tidbit about the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Obamas' longtime pastor and spiritual advisor and a Tinley Park resident.
After videos of his fiery sermons became public knowledge in March 2008, the Obama campaign — desperate to contain Wright's inflammatory, anti-American rhetoric — tried its best to get Wright to quiet down.
In an interview with Edward Klein, author of "The Amateur," Wright said a member of his church, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, who was a close ally of Barack Obama, went so far as to offer Wright via email $150,000 to stop preaching until after the election.
The book says that when Wright didn't agree, then-U.S. Sen. Obama set up a private meeting with Wright. Secret Services logs confirm that the meeting took place. Obama left the meeting frustrated because Wright refused to cooperate and take a back seat, according to Klein's book.
"I'm sorry you don't see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is? Your problem is you have to tell the truth," Obama said to Wright.
"That's a good problem to have," Wright said.
Obama warned him that things would get worse, and "he was so right," Wright told Klein.
The rest is history. Wright did continue to speak out but eventually faded off the front pages as Democrats circled the wagons around their nominee to ward off any right-wing zealots who persisted in bringing up Wright's cursing of America.
Klein chose not to reveal the identity of Obama's ally in "The Amateur," waiting until the day before the book's release to identify him as former Illinois public health director Eric Whitaker, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's top health official who oversaw the scandal-plagued Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
During the Blagojevich years, that board was used at times to solicit kickbacks and payoffs to the likes of convicted felon Tony Rezko and associates, who controlled the board. Whitaker denied involvement in the board's daily operations and claimed no knowledge of how Rezko corrupted its decisions.
Whitaker, who golfs and vacations with Obama, is now executive vice president of the University of Chicago Medical Center — overseeing its Urban Health Initiative, which last week received a $5.9 million federal grant to expand its programs.
At the same time that the Obamas' close friend, Valerie Jarrett, was chairman of the medical center's board, Michelle Obama created and developed the Urban Health Initiative before taking a leave of absence to support her husband's 2008 presidential campaign.
The UHI project is itself controversial — suggested by some to be a fiscal plan to return poor patients to local health clinics, a practice the health insurance industry refers to as "cherry-picking" wealthier, insured patients over the poor and uninsured.
Interesting. In a few short paragraphs, we're able to link Wright, President Obama, Whitaker, Blagojevich, Rezko, Michelle Obama and Jarrett. Doesn't get much cozier among Chicago Democrats, does it?
Follow the trail a little further, and you'll find that Jarrett and Michelle Obama met while working for former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Of course, current Mayor Rahm Emanuel was Obama's White House chief of staff for the first two years of his presidency.
Klein recalls much of this political lineage, reviewing how the Obama administration works the so-called "Chicago Way" and will continue to do so if Obama is re-elected in November.
Klein's book is sketchy and slightly inaccurate concerning Obama's history with the Illinois Senate, most notably his recollection of the efforts by Jill Stanek, a former nurse at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, who in 1999 publicized the practice at Advocate Health Care hospitals of allowing induced-labor abortions of fetuses with genetic defects.
Overall, though, the book's assertions about the Obama White House and his inner circle ring true and add more pieces to the puzzle of how a charming community organizer evolved into the world's most powerful leader in less than 20 years.
There's no question Klein is an Obama critic, so if you're looking for Obama accolades, don't pick up "The Amateur." But Klein digs for the truth, gathering insight from more than 200 people who've known the Obamas over the years.
And while telling the truth may be a problem for Obama and some of his admirers on the South Side, Rev. Wright got at least one thing right — telling the truth is a good problem to have.

Antonio da Monza Italian, Rome, late 1400s or early 1500s Tempera colors and gold leaf on parchment 25 1/4 x 17 1/8 in. MS. LUDWIG VI 3, FOL. 16
A grand initial R ornaments the most elaborate page in the gradual and marks the introit for Easter, the chant sung by the choir as the priest enters the church. Within the letter, Jesus stands atop his sarcophagus, giving the priestly sign of blessing while holding a cross staff with a banner, a traditional sign of his Resurrection. Below him, several Roman guards awaken from sleep. A long vista extends into the distance to include a monastery. In the border, decorative and figural motifs derived from classical antiquity and known as grotesques delight the eye. Winged putti scamper across the backs of tritons, and Roman monumental lettering mingles with military trophies and carved cameos.
Bust of Christ and putti

The images of destruction, pain and fear from Japan's 9.0-magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami are heart-wrenching. Friends and relatives around the world at press time waited for word on the nearly 7,000 people killed and an estimated 10,000 more missing and feared dead, many in the hard hit area of the country's northern ports where fishing is a way of life. SeaFood Business and parent company Diversified Business Communications sends its deepest condolences to eveyone affected by this tragedy.
In the face of adversity, members of the seafood industry take care of each other; after 9/11, the Gulf hurricanes Katrina and Rita and last year's oil spill, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and now Japan, the biggest seafood-consuming nation in the world. Members of the seafood industry are not worried about the market impacts — they are worried about people.
Nippon Suisan Kaisha (Nissui), one of the world's largest seafood companies that owns U.S. companies F.W. Bryce, Gorton's, King & Prince, Mrs. Friday's and UniSea, in mid-March had two plants destroyed and 160 employees unaccounted for. Several of its facilities in northern Japan were severely damaged. Nichirei Corp. reported that most of its facilities were flooded and/or without power. Maruha Nichiro Holdings also has facilities in the north in one of the areas that saw the worst damage.
The ripple effects on supply will be felt for months, if not years, to come. Simple necessities such as electricity to run processing and cold storage facilities will be hard to come by. Buyers worldwide have expressed concern over possible radiation from the damaged nuclear reactors in Japan that could contaminate fish and other food exports. Scientists say this is more of a precautionary approach and not based on fact. The Food and Drug Administration says any fears of contaminated seafood making it into the U.S. supply chain are unwarranted. Given the impact the tsunami had on the big fishing ports in northern Japan, it's unlikely product would be exported from the region for many, many months. You'll see more specifics on possible supply and price changes in our regular Market Report section on p. 18 of our print issue.
While the damage to U.S. ports pales in comparison to Japan, we can't forget those in Hawaii, Oregon and California who were also impacted by the tsunami. Damages up and down the California coast alone were estimated at $44 million, with the majority of the damages seen in Crescent City.
It's easy in this era of 24/7 information to immediately turn our attention to something else. At press time Japan was still assessing the damages, and the seafood industry was formulating a relief effort. In the meantime, I urge you to donate to the Japanese Red Cross Society at www.jrc.or.jp/english. The grief and loss this country has suffered will last forever, and they will need help for years to come to rebuild the basics of their seafood industry.

Giving up social networking for Lent
I haven't given anything up for Lent since Heinz Ketchup in junior high school. OK, I stole the idea from my friend Debbie, as I thought it was pretty creative. Granted, she absolutely adored ketchup, and I was more of a tartar-on-my-fries kind of gal. But I gave up the bottled red stuff anyway; why would I want to sacrifice something I truly loved? Ah, the joys of being Catholic.
This year when Fat Tuesday arrived, I announced on Facebook that I wasn't giving up anything for Lent. Well, thanks to the Winter Olympics, that's all changed. I've given up social networking from noon to midnight every day, since my Facebook friends and fellow Twitterers are posting results and ruining my Winter Games!
Of course the true culprit here is not social networking but NBC Sports. As I grumpily posted in my Closet Canuck blog, we West Coast viewers are getting screwed.
Not only are we forced to watch NBC's coverage three hours after the actual events take place, we're stuck with saucer-eyed Bob Costas as the main man. Hey Bob, what's with the bad dye job? At least you could have gone for Olympic gold, silver or bronze in your tresses. Talk about poor color commentary.
And then there's KING-5, our local NBC affiliate, which is acutely aware of the thousands of ticked-off viewers. On the station's website is a page titled Why are Olympic events not being broadcast live? Not only that, during the local nightly news, the anchors kindly ask us to close our eyes as the current results are posted and the Olympic theme music plays on. When the music stops, it's time to open your eyes. But wait! Then you show the medal count, and you don't have to be a numbers cruncher to figure out if there's another gold for the Americans. It might mean we one a big race, like Lindsey Vonn's victory in the Olympic Alpine. Keep that music playing!
I'm not alone in my criticism. Monika Guzman, author of The Big Blog in the Seattle P-I, polled her readers and 91percent of the nearly 4,000 who answered were not happy about the three-hour time delay. Ron Judd, Seattle Times staff columnist, blasted the peacock network in What Olympic tape-delay controversy? NBC still doesn't get it. More than 300 readers chimed in.
So here's my game plan for the final week of the 2010 Winter Olympics: No Facebook or Twitter after lunch; it's just too risky. And from now on, I'm recording NBC's evening coverage of the Games. It's already three hours late as is, so why not make it even more? Plus, you can fast forward through those annoying ads that we'll have memorized by the Closing Ceremony on Feb. 28.
In the meantime, I'm headed up to Whistler. No, I don't have tickets for any of the events, but I'll watch the Canada vs. U.S.A hockey match on CTV while enjoying a Kokanee and fries.
Hold the ketchup, please.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Israeli officials are bracing for violence on the West Bank this weekend after a government raid on Jewish settlers in a disputed home in the West Bank town of Hebron.
Riot police and soldiers took the settlers by surprise Thursday, dragging them out of the place they called the "House of Peace."
Dozens were injured in the fighting over the building, where settlers had been living for 21 months.
They claimed the building was legally theirs, but the Israeli government disagreed and Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered the eviction.
"This building will be evacuated," Barak said. "The building will be under IDF [Israel Defense Forces] and state control until the court decides to whom it belongs," he said.
Later, violence erupted between settlers and Palestinians.
Hebron Arabs threw rocks at settlers, while Jewish youths defaced Palestinian buildings and Muslim graves, and set fire to at least two homes.
Palestinian leaders want all the Jews evicted from Hebron, but it is a place promised by God to the Jews in the Bible, and it is the final resting place for the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Authorities know Thursday's incident could be a preview of greater chaos to come if more than 200,000 Jews are eventually forced from their biblical homeland in the West Bank.

Facts about Bodie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Bodie!
Bodie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bodacious (Female) - Silver Tabby - DOB ~ 04-25-07
Previously known as Gordie, Bodie is loving, playful and charming.
Completely confident, she's the tom girl who will play with everything and
everyone. She follows us around, talking and asking for attention. She
loves to chase the shadow of her tail, until she's too tired, naps for a bit
and starts up again. Her morning routine is to wait outside the shower and
then play with the water in the sink as we shave and brush teeth. She was
crying out for help when we found her at the top of the stairs to a garage
apartment, in the June heat with no water, food or shelter. Her ears were
sunburned and her belly was so extended that she was unable to walk. The
vet treated her for worms, but it took a couple of weeks for her big Buddha
belly to get back to normal. Now she is a healthy, beautiful and popular
young girl. She is current on vaccinations.

Entries in Heidi Klum (8)
The ideeli Scoop with Marc Bouwer
Bouwer, of course, is no stranger to glam moments, having essentially ushered in the modern era of dressing celebs for awards shows via his dedicated celebrity following. Innovative and with an unerring instinct for what women want, his designs have graced countless A-listers, including Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, and Oprah Winfrey. We recently chatted with the iconic designer to get the ideeli scoop on topics ranging from his love of leading ladies to which celebs he enjoys outfitting. Read on for the 411! Growing up, you were fascinated by the movies and, in particular, the beautiful women who graced the big screen. How did you make the leap from admiring stars to wanting to dress and design for them?
As a child, I loved the woman I saw in the movies. After I won the South African Vogue Young Designers Award, I left South Africa and moved to New York, where I knew I had a chance to dress these women I saw in the movies.
You've dressed countless celebrities—everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Halle Berry to Heidi Klum—and really ushered in the modern era of red carpet dressing. Who have been some of your favorite celebrities to dress and why?
Angelina Jolie—she's an icon, a beauty, a movie star and she looks great in designer clothing. I'll never forget the time I spent with her in LA, getting her ready for the Oscars. Heidi Klum—I love, I've known her since before she was famous. I love her fearless fashion style. Beyoncé—because she's curvy, sexy, always looks like a goddess and pushes the fashion envelope.
One of the techniques you're most known for is your draping. Why does it speak to you as a designer?
I love malleable fabrics, the fluidness of draping on a woman's body. Draping on a woman's body—the possibilities for me are endless.
How do you stay inspired? Can you share some of your design inspirations?
By looking to the future, to new technology, and to what's going on in the world and embracing it.
What's are some facts about Marc Bouwer that your fans may not know?
I'm an open book...That's a hard question, maybe I'll write a book.
ideeli at MBFW: Day 2
At Tadashi Shoji (also on sale today), celebs like Dania Ramirez (above) and Aisha Tyler were as transfixed as the rest of us with the designer's red carpet-ready cocktail and evening gowns. Unabashedly feminine, the collection didn't want for ruffles, sashes, soft hues. There was a desert-like feel to the color palette, which was mostly sand-toned with pops of lavender, periwinkle, and rose here and there. If one of these frocks doesn't pop up as someone's Hollywood awards ceremony ensemble of choice, we'll be incredibly surprised.
In the afternoon, we strolled from the office over to the Nicole Miller show in Soho, where we were lucky enough to hang with Noel Duan, our busy My First Fashion Week correspondent. Between catching up with Noel, we spied Perrey Reeves (so good on Entourage) and Cassie, both pictured above, as well as hotelier Andre Balazs. Miller's collection had a menswear vibe we were digging, along with more soft, fluttery layers, which is looking like a major trend for next season.
And last but certainly not least, Fashion's Night Out! We had to split up to cover all the celebratory happenings, one team downtown, and one up. Downtown, we strolled the madness of the Mercer Street block party, stopping in at Vivienne Tam, Paige Premium Denim, and witnessing the circus of Halle Berry leaving the Rag & Bone event. Total mob scene throughout Soho in the best sense of the word, with someone jokingly yelling "Free iPhones" outside the Apple store on Prince Street almost causing a stampede.
Uptown, we caught the glorious windows at Bergdorf Goodman, which were alive with what can only be described as fashion and art installations: a cabaret performer belting out Emo lounge tunes; Ed Tricomi of the famous Warren-Tricomi salon styling a model's hair in what can only be described as half haircut, half performance; and two designers deftly creating a ball gown of melted candle wax right before your eyes. Inside, the scene was just as surreal, as everyone from Victoria Beckham to Mary J. Blige to Heidi Klum flitted about.
After that, it was on to Henri Bendel, where we tried on gorgeous Tre rings, and tested nail colors with Liz Pickett, one half of one of our favorite nail polish lines, Ginger and Liz. Pooped as we were by the end of it all, we went home wishing Fashion's Night Out could happen every day.
Stay with us as we bring you the best of Day 3 tomorrow!

Photographer Christophe Cufos captured model Marlena Szoka sporting flirty bras and underwear as the main attraction of her outfits in the 'Inside Out' Amica Italy editorial. The underwear-as-outerwear looks coincide with bedhead hair and barely-there makeup.
Stylist Pascal Humbert chose to put bras and undies over dresses, skirts and jackets to create a mishmash of lusty lingerie looks. Visible panty lines have never been so fashionable.

The Boy and a Bag of Nails
By: Anonymous
There once was a boy who had a temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him to drive a nail into the fence post every time he lost his temper.
The boy drove 43 nails into the fence the day after. He learned to control his temper over the following weeks as the number of nails being driven into the fence gradually decreased. The boy discovered that it took less effort to hold his temper than to drive nails into the fence.
Eventually, the boy ceased losing his temper altogether. Ecstatic about his achievement, he told his father about it and his father suggested that the boy pulled out one nail for each day that he was able to "keep his cool." A few more weeks went by, and one day all the nails were finally removed from the once nail-covered fence.
That day his father asked his son to follow him to the fence. When they arrived, his father turned to him and said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave behind scars that are not forgotten. It won't matter how many times you say 'sorry,' the wound is permanent.
The boy then understood how powerful his words were, looked up at his father and said, "I hope you can forgive me for all the holes I've created." His father replied, "Of course I can."

Yes Michelle, this huge plant came from a seed that I started in my window a year and a half ago. I think I will be facing the same sort of thing again next year as I started a Starfruit tree from a seed after we ate the fruit. It is a lovely lacy plant but is already about 18" high...

Greg Baker, Senior Entomologist, SARDI.
There are two important pests in inland Australia called citrophilous mealybug (CM) and longtailed mealybug (LTM).
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of Citrophilous Mealybug
To improve the IPM of citrophilous mealybug, a project funded by the Horticultural Research and Development Corporation, was initiated in late 1994 by Greg Baker of SARDI and Mike Keller of the University of Adelaide.
Specifically, the project set about to:
Citrophilous mealybug
What has been achieved?
1. Parasitic wasp released
2. Life-history and ecology of citrophilous mealybug
Important aspects of citrophilous mealybug biology have been revealed.
The regional distribution of the mealybug species associated with inland citrus in NSW, VIC and SA has been defined, and this has aided negotiations to facilitate access of Australian citrus to markets in the USA and Korea.
Studies also revealed that in addition to the introduced parasites, two native parasites now commonly parasitise citrophilous mealybug.
Citrophilous and longtailed mealybugs usually have 3 generations per year, of which 2 occur on navel fruit during November–January and February–June. Although a partial synchronisation of the populations occurs on navel fruit when colonised by the young crawlers around November, there is considerable overlap between the generations, with all immature and adult stages present most of the time.
Citrophilous and longtailed mealybugs mainly infest leaves curled by citrus leafminer, under the calyx of fruit and less commonly in navel buttons. Most of the time the majority of mealybugs in the citrus canopy are found on curled leaves. Citrophilous mealybugs are also found on nightshade weeds in citrus orchards, but the presence of these weeds does not appear to contribute to the citrus infestations.
There is no consistent relationship between the abundance of the Nov–Jan and Feb–June generations. A relatively high density November population may, without any spraying, decline away to insignificance in the autumn, or vica-versa.
However, their honeydew which causes the sooty mould development in early winter, accumulates on fruit from November onwards, and hence mealybugs need to be managed for the entire period of fruit development.
3. Identify IPM-compatible spray treatments that control mealybugs
The third focus of the project which is to better integrate insecticidal and biological controls, has proved a challenge.
Insecticidal control of citrus mealybugs is inherently difficult, because of three main reasons:
The impact of a large range of organophosphate (OP), carbamate, oil and oil-OP shandy mixes on CM and two important parasites (Coccophagus gurneyi and the red scale parasite Aphytis melinus) were evaluated and the findings of these evaluations were:
1. Chlorpyrifos
2. Oils
3. Spray Coverage Essential
Based on these findings are a number of specific recommendations:
Further work is underway to complete the task of disseminating Coccophagus gurneyi throughout all Riverland settlements, Hillston and Colignan, and to fully assess the capability of reduced-rate chlorpyrifos sprays to control mealybugs. Our hope is that with good spray coverage, less IPM-disruptive sprays can effectively control mealybugs when required, and together with the enhanced biological control, reduce the negative impact of mealybug control on citrus IPM.

I got mine at Tractor & Farm Supply in the area even though the guy working there told me that it has calcium in it when I asked him. Now I looked on the bag, front and back, and I saw nothing that mentioned calcium. It just says "Insoluble Crushed Grit". So now I'm wondering if I even have to go anywhere else for grit. What do you think?

Oops, I looked back at my first post and what I meant to say was "Insoluble crushed granite", not crushed grit. Ha. I guess you knew what I meant though. |
The only thing you may need to do is rinse away the dust, and screen it to remove the really tiny particles. I believe the bags say "100% crushed granite" on them. It's exactly what I use. |

Jodi, Thanks, and yes, I'll rinse away the dust. Our hose is still disconnected from the winter but if these warm temps continue, we'll soon be hooking it up and I'll be able to get going on my plants put in the gritty mix. Cathy |

Need To Know: The Court Yard Hounds
By Dustin Fitzharris
In the spring of 2003 the Dixie Chicks went from country music's sweethearts to outcasts. While performing in London, their lead vocalist, Natalie Maines, told the audience, 'Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.' Maines's words sent shock waves through the conservative country music community. Instantly, the Dixie Chicks' music was boycotted, sponsors dropped them, and fellow artists turned their noses up at the mention of their name. In the process, however, the Dixie Chicks gained a whole new fan base, including the LGBT community who admired their moxie and echoed Maines's sentiments about President Bush and the war.
The Dixie Chicks bounced back and scored big at the Grammy Awards, winning album, record, and song of the year for "Taking the Long Way Home." Then the music stopped. Maines had had enough and wanted to take a break. Her band mates, sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, stood by in the wings waiting for Maines to return. Eventually the months turned into years and Robison and Maguire felt an aching in their creative souls. Enter the Court Yard Hounds, a brand new band that consists of only Robison and Maguire. The name was inspired by a novel Robison was reading called City of Thieves. Within the book there is another book called The Courtyard Hound. Their self-titled debut album, released earlier this month, debuted at number 7 on the Billboard charts.
Although they have a new name, in true Dixie Chicks fashion, they are already creating controversy. This time it's with a song called 'Ain't No Son,' which tells the story of a teenage boy who comes out to this father and then is disowned. The inspiration came from a TV special Robison was watching about teenage kids who are thrown out of their homes because of their sexuality. As Robison says, 'How can you have kids and love them so much and one day decide not to? It just boggled my mind.'
Out caught up with Maguire, who talked about that song, her thoughts on Sarah Palin, and why she thinks she is the "chick" that all the women want.
Out: Before we talk about anything else, we need to talk about the song 'Ain't No Son.' Were you concerned about releasing a song about a gay teenager? How do you think country music fans are going to respond?
Martie Maguire: I really don't have a gauge on what the country music industry is anymore. After we had our controversy with them, I guess I just felt like I was the redheaded stepchild and kicked out of the inner family of that genre.
What are your thoughts on the country music community?
When I hear that country music is so racist or that it's so intolerant, I know it frustrates the hell of my friends who are embedded in the business. So, I know a lot of people who would say that it's not all like that. Obviously you try to stay away from generalizations about anything, but the fact that it's news that Chely Wright is gay, in this day and age, is that really news? I just don't understand.
Do you think country music is still conservative?
I think if I were to generalize, I would say, 'yes.' I don't think what happened, even to us, would've happened without a pretty conservative base. They tend to be Republican. They tend to be antigay.
Looking back now, how do you feel country music insiders responded to Natalie's comment about President Bush and the war?
After the documentary [Shut Up & Sing] came out and the Grammys, you could almost look out into the audience and see the country faces that so wished you hadn't won the Grammy.
Like who?
Reba McEntire. She wouldn't even clap. Then the camera panned to her, so she mustered a little applause for the camera. That was actually captured on the telecast. She's been outwardly critical of us. Some of it has been poking fun and that's fine, because we have been the butt of jokes. However, some of it, and not just Reba in particular, was pretty harsh. I think Natalie, as strong as she is, was really affected. She just got tired of everyone being in her face. It really haunted her for a while, and she feels free from that now.
Where does that experience sit with you today?
I feel like we gained so many fans just based on one little sentence, which is the greatest publicity stunt you could ever ask for, without it being a stunt. You say one thing and win tens of thousands of fans, and I really think we did.

Those of us who are alive in these times have a clear and evident mission. We have a compelling moral purpose that can direct our lives and our energies: We are about saving the world. So what is our part? The place is to begin at home—that is, with ourselves. Notice what is life-denying and resist it. Live with the moral authority that comes from compassion and non-violence. Form communities of people who will sustain you in living as you wish to live, whether they are study groups or alternative living arrangements or socially responsible, sustainable businesses. Our congregations must be central gathering places for such community. — Marilyn Sewell, "Reclaiming the American Dream," in A People So Bold
Pay attention to the formation of communities that sustain you in living as you wish to live. Are there such communities in your life? Would you like there to be? How might you go about forming or sustaining one? Invite members of your congregation and other friends to join you in paying special attention to the nurture of sustaining communities.
