As I wrote for DJF last night, during the top of the eighth inning of his team's 8-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie was called out for not touching second base after rounding the base ever so slightly before returning to first base when the Yan Gomes fly ball he was watching was caught by B.J. Upton.
MLB's official rules state that if a base runner is forced to return to the base from which he started, as is the case with a fly ball being caught, he has to retouch all of the bags he touched while advancing forward in reverse order.
It seems simple enough, but viewing from this third base line vantage point, it's not so clear that Lawrie advances after sliding into second base. Certainly, this is what he argued shortly after he was called out by umpire Rob Drake.
But from a camera angle on the first base side, we get a pretty good idea of what Drake saw to prompt him to make the call, as it appears that Lawrie makes three steps toward third base on the inside of the base line before chugging back to first.
This was Lawrie's second game back since his petulant behaviour toward umpire Bill Miller landed him a four game suspension. Without that confrontation, it's very likely that this play isn't thought of again, and instead of over examining it, we'd be using the GIF to merely make fun of Lawrie's EXTREME slide into second base as he watches the fly ball float in center field.
However, his tantrum did happen, and it happened loudly. That's something that Lawrie will have to be mindful of moving forward (or at least looking as though he's moving forward). His complaints over being called out were moderate by comparison this time as his helmet stayed on his head as the energetic player jogged a dozen or so feet in the umpire's direction to ask why he was called out. According to Lawrie in the post game scrum, "Don't argue," was the only response that Drake would offer.
Perhaps, in addition to not invading an umpire's space, Lawrie would also be better served by not knocking them out of the game with foul balls either. Seriously though, Drake's response to his question is something of a lesson, and it's reminiscent of one that anyone experiences in a close relationship with someone else.
There are going to be times when your significant other is going to do irrational things that you don't like or that you believe to be unfair. The same is true of you. You will be right in calling out their irrationality and they will be wrong if they attempt to defend it. However, that doesn't mean you should raise the issue. For the sake of a harmonious relationship with that person, you're going to have to, as they say, suck it up from time to time.
I imagine this to be very close to what it's like dealing with an umpire. You don't want to see yourself abused, but you must pick and choose your battles.
And The Rest
On Twitter, I was likening Bryce Harper to the T-1000 and Roy Halladay to the Series 800 Terminator, as the youngster got the better of the veteran during last night's Washington Nationals/Philadelphia Phillies game. We shouldn't assume for a second that the rookie's success against Halladay wasn't by design. [Nats Insider]
Let's not get too crazy, though. Roy Halladay is fine. [Crashburn Alley]
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Carlos Pena is a rather awesome baseball player. Here's why his manager used him in the lead off spot last night against the shift heavy Toronto Blue Jays. [Getting Blanked]

I think I'd be more inclined to chew out Emmanuel Burriss for a lack of talent over a lack of hustle, but at least Bruce Bochy didn't do anything crazy like take him out of the game. [Comcast Sportsnet]

Some wireless carriers have their own standard such as: Text messaging plans, allowing a certain number of incoming/outgoing messages. The mobile device is "out-of-range," Memory capacity has been exceeded, Subscriber 'busy' for short messaging. The mobile number you entered is incorrect.

"Delicious and soooo easy!! Just cored and chopped the apples, I didn't even bother peeling them. I pureed this in my blender at the end of the cooking time and it turned out perfectly smooth. I used the sweetest apples I could find (Red Delicious) and cut WAY back on the sugar. I only used 1 c., but I think I could have left it out completely."
"These are delicious - very addictive!! I made a couple of small changes: subbed honey for the corn syrup, used organic puffed brown rice cereal and natural peanut butter and reduced the brown sugar to 1/4 c. for a healthy treat. I found the secret to making them stay together is to press them into the pan as hard as you can. Thanks for a great..."
"I hate to give bad reviews, but I agree 100% with Leezah's review. The water/vinegar ratio is way off. Not nearly enough vinegar to "pickle" the cucumbers. They just taste like salty cucumbers. I don't know, maybe they're supposed to - but that's not how I like my pickles. And they did not keep well at all. Within a month they were all slimy ..."

Can Red Pontiac Potatoes be canned? All I've seen are recipes for white or irish. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes they can. The name aside, they are a white potato. Yukon Golds can also be canned. Actually any potato can be canned using the same directions. You just get different end results in texture. Dave |
Pontiac has always been my main crop potato. Large size, great for all uses overall (although not the best for fries, they are a little moist and don't brown as well as a russet). And, of course, I live a few miles from the city of Pontiac, Michigan, which I hope is the variety's namesake. They were a sport of the original Pontiac variety, which was bred here in Michigan. "Chief Pontiac" is a widely mentioned person in folklore here in the immediate area, and local legend, which no doubt is WILDLY inaccurate considering that he was killed in Illinois after his retreat from the British forces here in Michigan in the 1760's, claims that his unmarked grave lies on Apple Island in the middle of Orchard Lake, about 2 miles from my house. Probably not, but its a fun little story. I'm sorry, as I realize NONE of this has anything to do with the original post, but it is just a fun little bit of trivia to share (hopefully the reader will feel the same way). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Origin of the Pontiac potato.
Yes, as long as you peel them, just like any other potato, then pressure can. |
Thanks everyone for the replys and yes I did enjoy the trivia |
I think the red potatoes I canned last summer were among my favorites. It was a wonderful surprise to find them such a "convenience" food. They had a good texture and went well in soups, stews, mashed, etc. It was my first year canning, and I was very happy with them. Only problem was we didn't grow (or can) enough to last all year. We planted more for this season. |
I agree, the Red Pontiacs can nicely, keep their shape and texture well. they are also easy to grow, hardy and prolific, love 'em. Of course, like denninmi, I'm from Michigan and the Red Pontiacs like our climate. annie |
Thanks you for the replys. I put 10 Lbs. RP seed pototoes in ground and going to put 10 more in the Straw Potato method today, havn't tried this before. Friends who have say it works great for them. Thanks again |

To conserve, wash up with a biodegradable, rinse-free facial wipe, suggests Donna Bishop. "These remove buildup using less water, and they gently exfoliate."

Light/Subatomic Particle Interactions
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Does light interact with (i.e., scatter from) uncharged subatomic particles?
Short answer: No. Exception: particles that are actually made up of still smaller charged particles, in such a way that the whole is neutral - an example is the neutron, which does have a magnetic moment and so does interact a very small amount with electromagnetic radiation. Reason: the only reason something would scatter light is if the light wave (consisting of electric and magnetic fields) causes it to move - electric fields interact directly only with charged particles, and magnetic fields interact only with things that have some magnetic property which in turn has to be due to the motion of charged particles (if the particle itself is not charged).
Arthur Smith
Dr. Smith is correct from a classical particle perspective, but quantum field theory allows for the existence of an extra degree of freedom for "particles" (i.e. the excitations of the field) which is called "spin," although it really is not (the particle is not actually spinning). The important point here about quantum spin --- which has a number of unusual properties --- is that it can endow the particle with a magnetic dipole moment, with which the particle can interact with electromagnetic fields, albeit much more weakly than if it were charged. The spin on a neutron (which is uncharged), with which neutrons can interact with light, does not come from the orbital motion of the quarks which make it up, but from the addition together of the quarks' spin, which is of the QFT origin I just mentioned.
Generally speaking, any distribution of matter which has *some* electromagnetic moment --- electric charge, electric or magnetic dipole, quadrupole, octupole, etc. moment --- can interact with an electromagnetic field. The interaction goes moment by moment, i.e. a charge interacts with a constant electric potential, a electric or magnetic dipole moment with a constant electric or magnetic field, a quadrupole moment with the gradient ("slope") of a field, and so on. The point lurking in the back of the questioner's mind is probably that one cannot generate anything higher than a monopole moment (i.e. a charge) from a point particle, so if you have no charge, you should have no moments at all. Classically this is true. In QFT, though, it is not.
christopher grayce
Well, I suppose I would better respond! The only uncharged elementary particles that we know of are the neutrinos, (plus some of the particles that cause interactions like the photon itself). The neutrinos have spin, but no magnetic moment, and so do not interact (directly) with light. However, there is always the possibility of indirect interactions - in fact, it is possible for two photons to collide with one another and interact - but this always has to involve the existence of charged intermediaries (for example temporary creation of an electron-positron pair). Anyway, in a direct sense uncharged elementary particles will not interact with photons, but in an indirect way they can... the resulting interaction is usually very small however.

Bank of America Corp. said Tuesday that it had resubmitted its smaller stress-test capital plan to the Federal Reserve. The announcement is the latest step as the bank navigates the aftermath of a $4 billion capital error it disclosed last month. The error, disclosed April 28, forced the bank to suspend its plans for returning capital to shareholders, and the Fed had given it until Tuesday to submit a new plan. [WSJ]
Comments (5)
At this point the Fed must have some boolean parameter in their model called is_bof_a where if true, indicates a multi-billion dollar hole that no one in the company knows about. Expect the resubmission to make no difference.

I bought some dahlias over the summer (July), they were already about 3 feet tall when I bought them, now they're about 4 feet. I want to transplant them to different areas of my yard. (I need to dig them up soon because I'm building garden boxes where my dahlias currently are.) I have heard that some dahlias are annuals, some are perrenials, some are from seeds, some are from bulbs. How do I determine what kind of dahlias I have and how to transplant them? By the way, I have learned my lesson ... no more spontaneous plant buys without first researching!! :) |

- Posted by anna_in_quebec z4 QC (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 07 at 9:43
All dahlias come from tubers, and can be started from seed, after which the plant produces a tuber (by the end of the season). As far as I know, there are no dahlias which are perennial to zone 6 - so they all have to be dug up and stored inside. People who don't want to bother doing this consider dahlias annual - but what a waste, in my opinion. The attached link has lots of great information for beginner and expert alike. Anna |

Noise Level Results
With the sort of performance we saw in the NiC C5, the basic rules still apply. If you have a smaller design, it only makes sense that the fans used to gain that level efficiency will typically be louder than all the quiet offerings we have seen lately.
That being said, when I am going for a new personal overclocking record, I don't care how loud it gets. The 37 dB rating is noticeable, but again this can be adjusted to suit your needs.
When I had the VR controller spun all the way to the right, the fans really come to live and deliver a ton of airflow and no doubt a serious amount of static pressure. There is no denying these fans will overtake a room with noise with the 69 dB rating, but you have to do these things to get every last drop out of a single tower cooler design.

lover of horses.
warlike; a lover of horses
(lover of horses ) the apostle was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter, ( John 1:44 ) and apparently was among the Galilean peasants of that district who flocked to hear the preaching of the Baptist. The manner in which St. John speaks of him indicates a previous friendship with the sons of Jona and Zebedee, and a consequent participation in their messianic hopes. The close union of the two in John 6 and 12 suggests that he may have owed to Andrew the first tidings that the hope had been fulfilled. The statement that Jesus found him ( John 1:43 ) implies a previous seeking. In the lists of the twelve apostles, in the Synoptic Gospel, his name is as uniformly at the head of the second group of four as the name of Peter is at that of the first, ( Matthew 10:3 ; Mark 5:18 ; Luke 6:14 ) and the facts recorded by St. John give the reason of this priority. Philip apparently was among the first company of disciples who were with the Lord at the commencement of his ministry at the marriage at Cana, on his first appearance as a prophet in Jerusalem, John 2. The first three Gospels tell us nothing more of him individually. St.John with his characteristic fullness of personal reminiscences, records a few significant utterances. ( John 6:5-9 ; 12:20-22 ; 14:8 ) No other fact connected with the name of Philip is recorded in the Gospels. He is among the company of disciples at Jerusalem after the ascension ( Acts 1:13 ) and on the day of Pentecost. After this all is uncertain and apocryphal, According tradition he preached in Phrygia, and died at Hierapolis.
fil'-ip (Philippos, "lover of horses"):
(1) The father of Alexander the Great (1 Macc 1:1; 6:2), king of Macedonia in 359-336 BC. His influence for Greece and for mankind in general lay in hastening the decadence of the Greek city-state and in the preparations he left to Alexander for the diffusion throughout the world of the varied phases of Greek intellectual life.
(2) A Phrygian left by Antiochus Epiphanes as governor at Jerusalem (circa 170 BC) and described in 2 Macc 5:22 as "more barbarous" than Antiochus himself, burning fugitive Jews who had assembled in caves near by "to keep the sabbath day secretly" (2 Macc 6:11) and taking special measures to check the opposition of Judas Maccabeus (2 Macc 8:8). There is some ground for identifying him with--
(3) A friend or foster-brother of Antiochus (2 Macc 9:29), appointed by Antiochus on his deathbed as regent. Lysias already held the office of regent, having brought up the son of Antiochus from his youth, and on the death of his father set him up as king under the name of Eupator. The accounts of the rivalries of the regents and of the fate of Philip as recorded in 1 Macc 6:56; 2 Macc 9:29; Josephus, Ant, XII, ix, 7, are not easily reconciled.
(4) Philip V, king of Macedonia in 220-179 BC. He is mentioned in 1 Macc 8:5 as an example of the great power of the Romans with whom Judas Maccabeus made a league on conditions described (op. cit.). The conflict of Philip with the Romans coincided in time with that of Hannibal, after whose defeat at Zama the Romans were able to give undivided attention to the affairs of Macedonia. Philip was defeated by the Romans under Flaminius, at Cynoscephalae (197 BC), and compelled to accept the terms of the conquerors. He died in 179, and was succeeded by his son Perseus, last king of Macedonia, who lost his crown in his contest with the Romans.

1. New Testament References:
One of the Twelve Apostles. Philip belonged to Bethsaida of Galilee (John 1:44; 12:21). Along with Andrew and other fellow-townsmen, he had journeyed to Bethany to hear the teaching of John the Baptist, and there he received his first call from Christ, "Follow me" (John 1:43). Like Andrew, Philip immediately won a fresh follower, Nathanael, for Jesus (John 1:45). It is probable that he was present at most of the events recorded of Jesus' return journey from Bethany to Galilee, and that the information relating to these was supplied to John by him and Andrew (compare ANDREW). His final ordination to the Twelve is recorded in Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13. At the feeding of the 5,000, Philip was asked the question by Jesus, "Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" (John 6:5-7). He was appealed to by the Greeks when they desired to interview Jesus at the Passover (John 12:20-33). During the address of Jesus to His disciples after the Last Supper, Philip made the request, "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us" (John 14:8).
2. Apocryphal References:
According to the "Genealogies of the Twelve Apostles," Philip was of the house of Zebulun (compare Budge, Contendings of the Apostles, II, 50). Clement of Alexandria (Strom., iii.4, 25, and iv.9, 73) gives the tradition identifying him with the unknown disciple who asked permission to go and bury his father ere he followed Jesus (compare Matthew 8:21; Luke 9:59), and says that he died a natural death. Owing to confusion with Philip the evangelist, there is much obscurity in the accounts of Apocrypha literature concerning the earlier missionary activities of Philip the apostle. The "Ac of Philip" tell of a religious controversy between the apostle and a Judean high priest before the philosophers of Athens. Later Latin documents mention Gaul (Galatia) as his field. As to his sending Joseph of Arimathea thence to Britain, see JOSEPH OF ARIMATHAEA. The evidence seems conclusive that the latter part of his life was spent in Phrygia. This is supported by Polycrates (bishop of Ephesus in the 2nd century), who states that he died at Hierapolis, by Theodoret, and by the parts of the Contendings of the Apostles dealing with Philip. Thus, according to "The Preaching of Philip and Peter" (compare Budge, Contendings of the Apostles, II, 146), Phrygia was assigned to Philip as a mission field by the risen Christ when He appeared to the disciples on the Mount of Olives, and "The Martyrdom of Philip in Phrygia" (Budge, II, 156) tells of his preaching, miracles and crucifixion there.
Philip was regarded in early times as the author of "The Gospel of Philip," a Gnostic work of the 2nd century, part of which was preserved by Epiphanius (compare Hennecke, Neutestamentliche Apokryphen, 40, 41).
See APOCRYPHAL GOSPELS.
3. Character:
As with Andrew, Philip's Greek name implies he had Greek connections, and this is strengthened by the fact that he acted as the spokesman of the Greeks at the Passover. Of a weaker mold than Andrew, he was yet the one to whom the Greeks would first appeal; he himself possessed an inquirer's spirit and could therefore sympathize with their doubts and difficulties. The practical, strong-minded Andrew was naturally the man to win the impetuous, swift-thinking Peter; but the slower Philip, versed in the Scriptures (compare John 1:45), appealed more to the critical Nathanael and the cultured Greeks. Cautious and deliberate himself, and desirous of submitting all truth to the test of sensuous experience (compare John 14:8), he concluded the same criterion would be acceptable to Nathanael also (compare John 1:46). It was the presence of this materialistic trend of mind in Philip that induced Jesus, in order to awaken in His disciple a larger and more spiritual faith, to put the question in John 6:6, seeking "to prove him." This innate diffidence which affected Philip's religious beliefs found expression in his outer life and conduct also. It was not merely modesty, but also a certain lack of self-reliance, that made him turn to Andrew for advice when the Greeks wished to see Jesus. The story of his later life is, however, sufficient to show that he overcame those initial defects in his character, and fulfilled nobly the charge that his risen Lord laid upon him (compare Matthew 28:16-20).

(AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File) JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — If a girl younger than 16 gives birth and won't name the father, a new Mississippi law — likely the first of its kind in the country — says authorities must collect umbilical cord blood and run DNA tests to prove paternity as a step toward prosecuting statutory rape cases. Supporters say the law is intended to chip away at Mississippi's teen pregnancy rate, which has long been one of the highest in the nation. But critics say that though the procedure is painless, it invades the medical privacy of the mother, father and baby. And questions abound: At roughly $1,000 a pop, who will pay for the DNA tests in the country's poorest state? Even after test results arrive, can prosecutors compel a potential father to submit his own DNA and possibly implicate himself in a crime? How long will the state keep the DNA on file?

Scottsdale will unveil designs next week proposed to transform the city's oldest golf course into a spring training facility for the San Francisco Giants, leaving little doubt as to whether the city can build in the nearby flood plain.
The city has selected three designs to convert the Coronado Golf Course into the proposed $18 million practice facility.
The designs were narrowed from more than a dozen prepared by Kansas City-based HOKSVE.
City officials said the designs they selected best preserve neighbors' view corridors and maximize the open space proposed for the site.
The concept, originally announced in August, has upset many residents who live near the course, which was built in the mid-1960s.
The city and the design firm also studied hydrology issues related to the nearby Indian Bend Wash, and determined a project could be safely built there, said Lisa Collins, customer service and communications director.
"It's not invisible, but we do think there are ways to configure the site and do landscaping, buffering and berming, and a lot of things that will make it a pleasant, open-space site," Collins said.
The plans on the 44-acre golf course and driving range at the southeast corner of Miller and Thomas roads include a clubhouse, two fullsize playing fields, a practice infield, an observation tower and specialized training areas.
Eight of those acres, mostly the driving range, belong to a private company, Odanoroc LLC., whose owners are not interested in selling.
"We'd like to see it stay a golf course. I haven't changed my mind on that," principal partner Eric Planeta said Tuesday.
Planeta said his property constantly floods during heavy rains, leaving him to question whether the land is the best place for a professional practice facility.
"I was over there this last week with the rain we had and the whole property just floods big time," he said. "I don't know how they are going to overcome all of that. I still think it's ill-planned."
Two of the designs selected by the city include the privately owned property, while a third plan excludes it.
The total size of the facility would be roughly 13 acres, leaving a vast majority of the land as public open space.
The city will showcase the designs at a series of public open house meetings on April 13 and 14.
The City Council, which has been largely supportive of the plan, would select a design at a meeting tentatively scheduled for May 26.
If approved, the city would begin building the project in early to mid-2005.
Giants executives have told Scottsdale they would not renew their contract in 2007 if the team does not get updated training facilities.
Open houses
What: Open houses on the proposed designs for the San Francisco Giants practice facilities at the Coronado Golf Course
When: Noon to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. April 13 and 14. Residents may stop by at any time between those hours.
Where: Eldorado Park Boys and Girls Club, 2311 N. Miller Road
Information: www.ScottsdaleAZ.gov or (480) 312-7616 or (480) 312-2336

They say Folklore ascribes the vision of a typing pool of monkeys to T(homas) H(enry) Huxley, But the notion is older than Huxley, and may go back to Cicero:
"If anybody believes that this is possible, I do not see why he should not think that if an infinite number of examples of the 21 letters of the alphabet, made of gold or what you will, were shaken together and poured out on the ground it would be possible for them to fall so as to spell out, say, the whole text of the Annals of Ennius. In fact I doubt whether chance would permit them to spell out a single verse!"

While the players on the Texas Rangers battle their counterparts on the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series, the team's front office staff may be dividing their attention between the games on the field and the dollars in the bank. A report from ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews indicates that the Rangers are preparing to make a significant offer for Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia should he, as expected, opt out of the four year $92 million remaining on his contract.
It's hard to imagine Sabathia leaving New York. He apparently loves the city. And for the most part the city loves him. However, he's even more unlikely to refuse the overtures of suitors considering the effect such pursuits will have on his negotiations with the Yankees on a new multiple year contract.
According to Matthews' source:
I hear they're going to throw a boatload of money at him. But I think he'll stay with the Yankees. He's talked so much about how much he loves New York, and besides, the Yankees can't afford to lose him from that pitching staff.
This fits in well with Rangers GM Jon Daniels' recent comments on the market size for free agent starter C.J. Wilson.
Probably bigger than we would like and probably right about what he would like.
If Texas ends up losing Wilson this off season to a rival (let's say the Yankees), Sabathia would be more than ample compensation. It's probably also worth noting that the big left hander, a durable starter if ever there was one, fits in well with the type of pitcher that team owner and president Nolan Ryan is believed to value.

Hi, I'm kind feeling sad today. I think it's because of Valentins day ...... |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Tue, Feb 14, 06 at 20:02
A work colleague saw me in the hall today and said, "Happy Valentine's Day!" I didn't even realize the holiday. I said, "It's kind of a non holiday for me, like being Jewish at Christmas." She said, "It's kind of a non holiday for this married person too." It was just invented by greeting card, chocolate and teddy bear merchants! OK, I'm trying to cheer you up but maybe it isn't working. I'm sorry you feel sad, I understand how it goes. |
I went in to work this morning, and there was a big beautiful bouquet of flowers. I said "Wow! Someone got some pretty flowers, and I bet it wasn't me!" Well, of course it wasn't......it was from a co workers husband. For crying out loud, even when I was happily married, I never got stuff like that. One valentines day, he said.."oh, your gift is on the seat of the truck." Well, he'd been with his brother who NO WAY could come home with out a valentine gift for HIS wife if he wanted to see the next day, so mine got me a card and a freakin' 79 cent plant. The card was still in the paper bag, not signed or even in the envelope. Now THAT'S romance! In his defense, years later, he picked wildflowers on a hiking trip, and carried them down the mountain, and brought them to me. They were so pretty. I loved them more because he'd stopped and picked them himself, thinking how much I would like them. Now THAT'S romance! OK, one romantic gesture in 25 years........what more could a woman ask for? LoL Jean |
Note for portion of male population which hopes to have continued presence of women in their lives.... Birthday, Christmas, Valentine's day, anniversary (whatever kind)...if you can't keep track and DO something for your honey on these days (NOT just before or just after...THE DAY!!!) go back in your cave and live alone. These are called dues. Not facts. Not rationale. Not sensible or practical. Just DUES. Get with it or forget it and get out. Forgetfulness is a mortal, unrecoverable sin in these four instances. It doesn't matter if you don't understand or don't agree or resent it. Shut up about it, suck it up, and do it. You'll never understand. Don't try. Just do the deed. It allows life to continue with much less aggravation. |
Amen Asolo. You said a mouthful there. Being a man and when I am in a relationship I always remember the holidays and special events. But I am a romantic at heart and when I am in a relationship I like to leave little notes for my partner saying hi and letting them know that I was thinking about them. What has happened to romance and chilvary in this world? Yesterday at work for Valentine's day I bought all the women who work with me in a candy and put it on their desk for a Valentine's present. It wasn't much but its the thought that counts. One of them had just broken up with her financee last month and she thought she would not get anything for Valentine's day. She really enjoyed it and said that I made her day. Hearing her say that blessed my day and made my day a whole lot brighter. I was glad I was able to do that. |
Very well spoken from some men on this board. Thank you! I was very surprised to receive a Valentine's card from my SO on Monday. Considering he is out of the country for several weeks, this meant he had to think ahead... and that means more to me than anything. Barbara |
I was chatting with a friend who suggested that Valentine's Day be renamed "Singles Awareness Day." |
- Posted by timelessrogue (My Page) on Sat, Feb 25, 06 at 15:39
Say, I gotta disagree with some of that! It's not dues! Not at all. It's courtesy, respect, honor, love ... To call it dues is none of those ... dues are what you pay when you join a book club or the gym or pay for an overdue library book or some other such ... but certainly not what you pay to someone you care about ... |
I wouldn't care WHAT day it was on. A loving gesture is welcome anytime. A gesture just because a guy thought it was DUES would be just that. Empty, a "had to or else" kind of thing. Not very romantic in my book. Like the card in the bag. It didn't mean anything to him. Why would I demand something that had no meaning? I would rather have nothing. Romance is not a holiday. Jean |

Hi guys, I'm peeking in again because the other forum is dead. I think haliwa has it right. Me and my SO decided to skip Valentines day - only because he is so romantic every day that V-day seemed redundant. My ex didn't have a clue, on V-day or any other day UNLESS he wanted to 'get some'. When that is the only time that a man can come up with any sort of affection it becomes meaningless. Hats off to you haliwa! |

Novartis temporarily suspends production of Interceptor, Sentinel
Novartis Animal Health has ceased production of Interceptor, Sentinel and several other drugs manufactured in its plant in Lincoln, Neb., while the facility undergoes "process and compliance improvement activities," a spokesman for the company confirmed. Mickey McDermott, head of communications for Novartis Animal Health in North America, could not immediately identify what other products are being impacted by the plant's temporary shutdown aside from Interceptor and Sentinel, both pet parasitides. He did not specify the type of modifications underway or whether they were prompted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates facilities that manufacture and process livestock feeds, pet foods and veterinary drugs and devices. Officials with the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine did not respond today to a query about whether the agency is involved in Novartis's process and compliance upgrades. McDermott noted that the changes are being made "voluntarily." The company hopes to resume its regular production schedule sometime in January. "We're hoping this will be very temporary," he said. So is Dr. Steven Hornstein. As a solo practitioner in Monroe Township, N.J., he dispenses 40 or 50 boxes of Interceptor, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic that contains milbemycin oxime, on a monthly basis. Trifexis is not a direct substitute for Interceptor or Sentinel, which contains milbemycin oxime and lufenuron. According to the label for Trifexis, serious adverse reactions have been reported following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin, another broad-spectrum antiparasiticide, with spinosad alone, one of the components of Trifexis chewable tablets. The most recent news releases featured on the Novartis U.S. website date back to 2009. It's unclear whether Novartis sent a "Dear Doctor" letter — a form of communication that pharmaceutical companies often use to alert medical professionals to changes concerning their products — to veterinarians. "Would it be nice for the company to warn us? Absolutely," Hornstein said. "I'd like to get this information first, from them." This article was provided by the Veterinary Information Network. |

In 2013 coach and group tourism operators can look forward to two new major attractions at LEGOLAND® Deutschland Resort in the Bavarian town of Günzburg: the interactive Temple X-pedition ride and the Knight's Castle in LEGOLAND Holiday Village.
True to the LEGOLAND motto "Play your part", visitors can look forward to some exciting new attractions – ready for the season's kick-off on 23rd March 2013. The newly created KINGDOM OF THE PHARAOHS promises plenty of thrills and spills. The highlight of the 6,000 square metre site is an indoor Temple X-pedition ride, for which intrepid explorers board a jeep on an interactive treasure hunt through the temple's dark interior.
Action-packed experience and lots of creative building fun also await young and old throughout the rest of the theme park. Visitors can brave the Flying Ninjago, a turbulent flying attraction at an incredible height of 22 metres, to find out what it feels like to loop-the-loop. Budding oceanographers are invited to explore the fascinating underwater world of LEGOLAND ATLANTIS by SEA LIFE, with real sharks, rays and tropical marine life, and budding pirates can have a splash battle on the high seas with Captain Nick in PIRATE LAND.
Creativity and dexterity are what's needed at the various LEGO® building centres. Among the LEGO factory, where visitors can watch how the famous bricks are created, MINILAND is a must-see. This is where visitors find famous landmarks of European cities, not to mention the STAR WARS™ universe recreated using millions of LEGO bricks.
The park, with its eight adventure worlds boasting over 50 attractions, workshops and shows, as well as accurate detailed models made using 55 million LEGO bricks, offers visitors such a wide range of entertainment options. From the 2013 season on, those wishing to prolong their visit can stay overnight in the splendid new Knight's Castle in the LEGOLAND Holiday Village. The 34 knights' rooms have been lovingly designed and fitted out with several LEGO models. From their rooms, maidens and knights can enjoy a wonderful view of the Holiday Village lake and surrounding woodland. Those, however, who would rather stay overnight as racing drivers, pirates, or Ancient Egyptians have a choice of 72 themed holiday houses.
2013 season: 23rd March to 3rd November, 10.00 a.m. to 18.00 p.m., extended opening times at weekends, during school holidays and on public holidays.

La Bisbal d'Empordà, the capital of the Baix Empordà district, is famous for its ceramics and antiques.
The city preserves an interesting centre with narrow streets, a great number of buildings and architectural features which are well worth visiting. The most emblematic and significant building is the castle-palace, a real treasure of Catalan civil Romanesque style. Built by the bishops of Girona at the end of the 16th century, with a ground floor, first floor and a tower, it was renovated several times between the 15th and 18th centuries. Other outstanding items of heritage are the Call o Judería (Jewish quarter), a narrow, dark backstreet in the form of a zigzag; the church of Santa María (1701-1757), a large Baroque building with a single nave with side chapels; the church of La Piedad (1788), the monumental grating and door in cast iron of the church of Los Dolores (1750), both in ornate Baroque, and the Viejo bridge (1606), the oldest of the three bridges over the Daró. Las Voltas, a set of porticoed houses planned in the 19th century, are a characteristic feature of the urban network and its business.

Add To My Plant List
Cornus florida 'Cherokee Princess' flowers
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
Cornus florida 'Cherokee Princess' in bloom
Height: 30 feet
Spread: 35 feet
Hardiness Zone: 5b
Possibly the ultimate small specimen tree, famous for its huge yet delicate white blooms in spring; extremely fussy, requires rich, well-drained acidic soil and adequate precipitation; one of the hardiest, best with some shelter
Ornamental Features:
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood features showy clusters of white flowers with white bracts held atop the branches in mid spring. It has forest green foliage which emerges burgundy in spring. The pointy leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. It produces red berries from early to late fall. The warty gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Landscape Attributes:
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood is a multi-stemmed deciduous tree with a stunning habit of growth which features almost oriental horizontally-tiered branches. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Plant Characteristics:
Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood will grow to be about 30 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 35 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution, therefore inner city or urban streetside plantings are best avoided, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder zones.
This is a selection of a native North American species.
