What is excessive thirst during pregnancy?It's when you just can't seem to get enough to drink! Your bod needs extra fluids during pregnancy, so it's hard to tell if it's a normal pregnancy symptom or a sign of a problem. What could be causing my excessive thirst during pregnancy?The easiest and most common explanation is probably that you're not drinking enough water, since you need more during pregnancy, and you may be feeling hotter or sweating more.In extremely rare cases, excessive thirst could be a sign of gestational diabetes, but in most cases, gestational diabetes doesn't cause any symptoms at all -- that's why every pregnant woman gets tested for it, says Karen Deighan, MD, FACOG, department chairperson of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital of Loyola University Health System. So there's no reason to freak out about your excessive thirst. When should I go to the doctor about excessive thirst during pregnancy?If you're concerned, mention it at your next visit. How should I treat my excessive thirst during pregnancy? Drink up! Have at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (that's two quarts) -- more if it's hot out or if you've been vomiting because of morning sickness.

Omar & Laarni's ridiculously awesome engagement session was shot using a Mamiya RB67 Polaroid Back Camera by the genius brothers that are MangoRED. Now I may be obsessed with beautiful photography, but most technical jargon totally passes me by. Yet I thought it necessary to include that information with this post, as I'm sure, if you're anything like me, these will I literally stop you in your tracks as they hit you sideways with their awesomeness. LE . SWOON .

Credit: Credit: Matt Miller for Our Labor of Love
Oooh what a set of tasty treats I have for you this week. As ever, I have been blown away with the joy that blog land and the internet has spread this week. First off an extra special mention to Naz of Oliver Rue who sent me a little delight in the post in the form of some 'rockstar' magnets and the most adorable handmade card which is now adoring my fridge.

Oh the prettiness! Sean Flanigan is one of those photographers who I look at his work and think he's pretty unattainable for little Rock n Roll Bride. You know, one of those cool guys who always gets featured on the biggest and best wedding blogs. But low and behold, this morning I received an email from him asking if I wanted to be the one to feature his newest day after session – taken in Florence, Italy! I think my exact words were 'Errrm hell to the yes!'
Cool I know.
London in the 60's
Remember this aaamazing wedding at Shoreditch House in London? Well my lovely friend Liz (like, real life friend not just online – we've been out for cocktails and everything!) just sent me this wedding at the same venue that she shot with Nadia Swindell this weekend. You might recognise the bowling! How fab is that – I wish I'd found a wedding venue complete with bowling lanes.

Invasive species a huge threat to sparse ecosystems, scientists report
Staff Report
FRISCO — The tiny ice-free fringes of Antarctica are especially prone to ecosystem disruption, including invasive species, an Australian science team warned earlier this year after taking a close look at how human use is concentrated in those slivers of dry land.
Antarctica has over 40,000 visitors a year, and more and more research facilities are being built in the continent's tiny ice-free area. Most of the Antarctic wildlife and plants live in the ice-free areas – and this is also where people most visit.
Most tour operators in Antarctica follow strict guidelines set to protect ecosystems, including at least basic decontamination procedures, but those measures might not be enough, especially as global warming makes ice-free zones more susceptible to invasive species. Continue reading

For the last few years or so, Citi has been shown relatively little respect by market participants. That may have had to do with the fact that the bank was not a very desirable asset, having decided during the Sandy Weill era that big is beautiful. Unfortunately the C went a little too far with the idea, making it it's business to consume everything in arm's reach. It quite literally became "too big to fail," and the only attention it got was negative. Receiving the sort of admiration and compliments afforded to a place like Goldman or JPMorgan was out of the question; the nicest thing you could say about C was it would take home plenty of ribbons at a pie eating contest– "best digestion," etc. And Vickles ain't gonna lie the jabs stung. But now? Post-makeover that's included shedding assets, slimming down and getting back to the "core" business? Vikram is feeling hot. Regulation hottie hot. And not just when he and C look in the mirror, but in the eyes of the Street.
Pandit touted moves the bank has made to streamline its operations—winding down Citi Holdings, selling assets and improving efficiency in its global operations. The holding company was separated from Citi's general operations to get rid of the toxic assets that remained on the company balance sheet.
"…the markets are increasingly recognizing who we are…" Pandit told CNBC. The company has made progression in its global business and trading arms and will "have the market appreciate even more what Citi is," he added.

2015 Legislative Session (FY16 Budget Request)
Advocacy information will be updated soon. For details on the FY16 UAF requests, click HERE.
2014 Legislative Session (FY15 Budget Request)
Chancellor's message
The University of Alaska Fairbanks FY15 budget request to the state is for the financial resources necessary to continue essential teaching, research and service to communities throughout Alaska. Our focus is on preparing students for success in college and in their future careers, through strong instructional programs and intensive advising to help them complete their degrees on time. We are expanding and improving online education and degree programs that lead to high-demand jobs. Research for Alaska includes resource development areas such as engineering, mining and fossil fuels, furthering our effective partnerships with Alaska's industries. Throughout this booklet, you will find programs and initiatives in areas of greatest need that address the priorities of our state leaders.
In recent years UAF has further strengthened internal review of spending and has made substantial savings via strategic reductions and greater efficiency. That review process will continue as we approach the centennial of Alaska's first university. The FY15 budget request represents a commitment both to serve Alaska and to be good stewards of our state resources. It supports our high-quality programs and the faculty and staff necessary to deliver them, as well as providing the infrastructure necessary to continue our service to the state. I am confident that UAF is a good investment. I hope you agree.
Warm regards,
Brian Rogers, chancellor

The Tennessee-Georgia All-Star Football Classic is just one of several all-star border battles that will take place in Chattanooga over the next two weeks.
The Tennessee-Georgia All-Star Classic Series will get going this Friday, June 6, at Finley Stadium with the Soccer Classics. The girls' match will begin at 1:30 p.m., followed by the boys' match at approximately 3:30.
Tennessee leads the girls' series, 7-1, and has won the last four matches, including last year's 5-2 victory. Summer Lanter (Soddy-Daisy) took Tennessee Player of the Game honors by scoring a hat trick to tie the game's all-time single game scoring record.
Suzanne Arafa (Allatoona) took home the Georgia Player of the Game award.
On the boys' side, Tennessee holds an 8-1 advantage, including the last four in a row.
The Volunteer State got a record 15 saves from keeper Tim Barnes (Notre Dame) in a 3-0 win. Barnes was named Tennessee Player of the Game, while David Perez (Northwest Whitfield) was the Georgia Player of the Game.
Cleveland head coach John Brose will be serving as the head coach for Tennessee on Friday, and will have two very familiar faces in his lineup.
Anfernee Avila, who was the Raiders' leading goal scorer this season, and Moss Jones were chosen to play for the state.
After the 11th Annual Football Classic (Saturday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m. at Boyd-Buchanan), basketball will take center stage at Notre Dame High School on Tuesday, June 10, beginning with the girls' game at 6 p.m.
The Tennessee girls have won the last four games in the series and hold a 7-4 lead in the all-time series.
They claimed a 66-57 victory last year behind Tennessee Player of the Game Mariah Massengill (Silverdale). Megan Collins (Southeast Whitfield) tied a record with 24 points to earn Georgia Player of the Game honors.
Tennessee's boys also hold a 7-4 edge in what has been a very competitive series. Six games in the series have been decided by five points or less, including last year's thrilling 76-74 contest, won by Georgia in overtime.
Alex Bautista (Dalton) was the Georgia Player of the Game, while Stedmon Ford (Notre Dame) was named Tennessee Player of the Game.
The series will conclude on June 18 with the All-Star Baseball and All-Star Softball Classics. McCallie will host the nine-inning baseball game, while Frost Stadium will be the site of the softball game, which will be a doubleheader. Both events begin at 6 p.m.
Tennessee leads the baseball series, 11-1, although five games have been decided by two runs or less. Tennessee has won the past four games, including last year's 5-4 victory at Ridgeland.
Dakota Hudson (Sequatchie County) was the game's MVP. Spencer Mossburg (Silverdale) and Dalton Geekie (McEachern) respectively took home Tennessee and Georgia Player of the Game awards. The oldest of the all-star games, the Softball Classic, will see Tennessee looking to build on a 25-7 edge in the all-time series. The doubleheader has been played each year since 1998.
Sidney Hooper (Walker Valley) was named as last year's MVP as the Volunteer State girls swept their Peach State counterparts, 4-2 and 1-0. Lydia Ritchie (Bledsoe County) and Savannah Goldsmith (Heritage) took home Tennessee and Georgia Player of the Game honors, respectively

A Clear Voice for Science
The annual Delta Aquarid meteor shower is expected to peak before dawn on Thursday, July 29. Not that it really matters in 2010. The almost-full waning gibbous moon will wipe out this year's Delta Aquarid display. You would be much better off to wait for the Perseid shower, which should be at its best on the moon-free nights of August 12 and August 13.
EarthSky's meteor shower guide for 2010
Even in a favorable year, the Delta Aquarids are a modest shower, offering perhaps 15 to 20 meteors per hour. If you trace the paths of these Delta Aquarid meteors backward, they all appear to originate from a certain spot in the sky. This point is called the meteor shower radiant. It nearly aligns with the star Delta Aquarii (Skat) in the constellation Aquarius – hence, the meteor shower's name.
Unfortunately, the bright moon will be shining right in front of Aquarius, not only wiping out meteors but probably the rather dim star Delta Aquarii to boot. The sky chart shows tomorrow's predawn sky as seen from mid-temperate North American latitudes.
You will not see many – if any – meteors. However, given clear skies, you will certainly see the moon and the blazing planet Jupiter, and likely the bright star Fomalhaut, too!

What is Middlesex United Way? What does Middlesex United Way do?
Middlesex United Way is a locally-based, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to to strengthening lives, helping people, and improving community conditions in the fifteen towns in Middlesex County. United Way partners with local agencies and town organizations to provide these needed services and programs and find solutions to chronic community problems, like substance abuse among youth and the need for affordable, decent housing for low-income families.
Our focus areas and goals reflect the priority concerns of our residents and top human care needs of our county. We also believe that these four areas are the building blocks needed for any person to lead a better life. Our focus areas are:
- EDUCATION: To increase children's readiness to learn by school entry.
- INCOME: To increase the economic self-sufficiency of individuals and families.
- HEALTH: To reduce the rate of risky behaviors among youth and adults and improve the health and increase the safety of individuals and families.
- HOUSING: To increase the ability of individuals and families to attain affordable housing.
How were these focus areas determined?
We have established an agenda for Middlesex County that reflects the values and concerns of our residents and provides direction for our funding priorities. To do this, we looked at local needs assessment results, input from residents during United Way-sponsored "community conversations" held with residents of all 15 towns, and calls to Connecticut's 24-hour crisis and information hotline, United Way 2-1-1. These sources helped us identify issues that consistently rank as top concerns and present ongoing struggles for our residents.
How is United Way tackling community problems?
Middlesex United Way assembled teams of volunteers, including town officials, concerned residents, service providers, community leaders, and experts to focus on chronic community problems that present ongoing challenges for our residents. Their recommendations shape our work and inform our funding priorities.
To tackle these social problems effectively, we have to address the root causes and invest in long-term solutions that can improve community conditions and prevent problems from happening in the first place. That means investing more in prevention-based programs that serve a larger population than those identified as needing assistance.
- Healthy Communities-Healthy Youth (Health): this substance abuse prevention initiative, developed after extensive research by the Search Institute, brings all sectors of a community together to focus on activities that promote healthy youth and adolescent development.
- School Readiness (Education): this early childhood mental health initiative coordinates the efforts of local pediatricians, day care providers, and preschool teachers to identify and serve children ages birth to five with behavioral problems with the goal of increasing their school readiness.
- Affordable Housing for Working Families: United Way is initially focusing on helping working families along the shoreline who are living in motels, their only affordable housing option. United Way is funding HOPE (Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere) to create more affordable housing units in Old Saybrook. We are also working with Middlesex Habitat for Humanity and are a key participant in the Middlesex County Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness.
What does volunteer-driven mean?
Approximately 1,000 volunteers, including concerned residents, business and community leaders, human service providers, and educators, are involved in managing all aspects of Middlesex United Way. Volunteers make up the board of directors, lead the annual fundraising effort, review all United Way funding partners, and oversee United Way's work creating real, substantive changes in community conditions in our focus areas. All funding decisions are recommended and approved by volunteers.
Is Middlesex United Way just a fundraiser?
Middlesex United Way does much more than just fundraising. United Way is a partner in change, working with a broad range of people and organizations to identify and resolve pressing community issues. Our fundraising efforts are one way that we bring about positive change in individual lives and community conditions because the campaign gives us the ability to fund needed services, programs and town-based initiatives. However, United Way also works to:
- Identify community needs and priorities
- Facilitate the efforts of those who can help bring about needed positive changes
- Monitor its funding partners to ensure they are using United Way dollars as effectively and efficiently as possible
- Promote volunteerism county-wide
Where does the money that Middlesex United Way raises go?
Your gift to Middlesex United Way stays in Middlesex County, unless you designate it elsewhere. Middlesex United Way is the largest non-governmental funder of local community programs and services in Middlesex County. United Way dollars are targeted to meet critical community needs in the county not funded by other sources and invest in long-term solutions to top social problems, like the need for affordable housing for working families, substance abuse prevention among youth, and assistance to preschool-aged children with behavioral problems.
Who decides how to spend the dollars raised by Middlesex United Way's fundraising efforts?
All United Way funding decisions are made by volunteers. Each year, all services, programs and town-based projects currently funded by United Way are reviewed by volunteers, who are experienced in analyzing budgets, program efficiency and effectiveness. Organizations seeking funding present written proposals to United Way and its volunteer teams. Funding decisions are based on dollars available, community need and on the ability of the applicant to meet that need.
How is Middlesex United Way different from other United Ways?
The United Way system includes more than 1,300 community-based United Way organizations in the United States and around the world. Each is independent, separately incorporated and governed by a local, volunteer Board of Directors. Because of the unique conditions in diverse communities, the issues United Ways address are determined locally. Middlesex United Way is unique in that it is dedicated to addressing the most pressing community needs and issues facing the fifteen towns of Middlesex County (Chester, Clinton, Cromwell, Deep River, Durham, East Haddam, East Hampton, Essex, Haddam, Killingworth, Middlefield, Middletown, Old Saybrook, Portland, and Westbrook).
Does Middlesex United Way have its financial condition audited?
Yes, each year an independent CPA firm audits the books and provides an audit and management letter to United Way's Board of Directors. Independent auditors also audit funded agencies. Click here to read more about our accountability.
How big is the United Way staff and what do they do?
There are 5 full-time and 3 part-time staff at Middlesex United Way. The staff is responsible for the coordination of approximately 1,000 volunteers who work to fulfill United Way's mission mobilizing the caring power of communities to strengthen lives and help people. Supporting the work of volunteers, United Way staff:
- Secure the necessary resources, including $1.8 million annually, to support needed community programs, services and town-based projects that meet residents' basic needs and address pressing community issues.
- Coordinate United Way's efforts tackling chronic community problems, like the need for affordable housing for working families, assistance to preschool-aged children with behavioral problems, and substance abuse prevention for school-aged youth. To accomplish this work, staff coordinate the efforts of a diverse group of partners, including concerned residents, town officials, schools, services providers, and community leaders.
- Ensure strong financial management and governance at the highest level of accountability and transparency in United Way's operations.
- Participate in various community collaborations aimed at addressing critical community needs and improving the provision of health and human services, including the Healing Racism Coalition, Opportunity Knocks for Middletown Children, and the Middlesex County Coalition on Housing & Homelessness.
- United Way staff also operate a Volunteer Center that matches the interests of individuals with local non-profit agencies in need of volunteer help. The Volunteer Center coordinates United Way's Day of Caring, an annual event that involves hundreds of local employees working at various community service projects throughout the county.
How does an agency or organization become a United Way funding partner?
Any registered not-for-profit agency that provides health and human services to the people of Middlesex County and meets identified critical community needs and priorities may apply for United Way funding. Agencies must submit detailed financial statements, a certified audit, as well as information on programs and services to be provided. Volunteers review all applicants and make decisions about funding. For more information about applying, contact United Way staff.
How much money actually goes to community services, programs and town-based projects?
Nearly 82 cents of every dollar donated to Middlesex United Way supports local services and programs that meet basic needs, improve community conditions and help get to the root causes of some of our most pressing problems. A vast network of volunteers involved in all aspects of United Way's operations has kept United Way's overhead at a low 18.19%, which is consistent with the average overhead of United Ways of similar size throughout the country. This figure compares favorably to the suggested Better Business Bureau's recommendation of up to 35%.
What is Middlesex United Way's relationship with United Way Worldwide?
United Way Worldwide is the international organization dedicated to leading the United Way movement in making a measurable impact in each community. Middlesex United Way pays dues of less than one penny of every dollar contributed, or less than 1% of money raised. The value of benefits received from United Way Worldwide, such as national government relations, free marketing and advertising support, trainings, support to national companies running campaigns, is always far more than is paid in dues and helps keep our local costs down.
Why should I give to United Way? Why not just donate directly to an agency?
There are many valuable non-profit organizations in the area you may care about. United Way provides an opportunity for your one gift to support a variety of local needs, such as preventing substance abuse among youth, literacy and job training, affordable housing for working families and individuals, and emergency food and shelter. Through one gift to United Way, you can accomplish so much good!
You can also be assured that your gift to Middlesex United Way goes directly to fund programs that help people most in need. United Way conducts periodic needs assessments to ensure donor dollars are addressing the most pressing community needs. We also monitor funded programs and initiatives annually to make sure they are efficiently and effectively improving people's lives and making a positive impact. Middlesex United Way volunteers ensure that contributions are doing the most good in the community.
United Way offers the convenience of payroll deduction through the support of local employers, allowing employees to give a substantial annual gift through small weekly contributions. You may also decide to give online through our site.
Will my personal information be protected?
Middlesex United Way will not trade, share or sell a donor's personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. If you make a desginated gift to another agency, we will only share your personal information once you have given Middlesex United Way specific permission to do so.
I give to United Way but still get solicitations from its funding partners. Why?
Middlesex United Way support provides only part of the operational expenses of our funding partners. In other words, United Way dollars fund specific programs and initiatives of each funding partner. United Way does not fund the entire agency.
All funding partners agree not to solicit through payroll deductions at the workplace and not to solicit corporate gifts during the United Way campaign. They can fundraise in the community throughout the year to help support programs and operating expenses. If you are already supporting the United Way campaign, you know you are already making a significant contribution to the community and assisting that agency's mission.

For over a century, the Seattle Symphony has built its audience and enraged Rumpelstilskins with an ever-growing collection of accolades and golden awards. Two Emmy-winning television specials stand out among a list of credentials that also includes 12 Grammy nominations and upward of 140 recordings. The orchestra continues to live up to its esteemed reputation thanks to new principal pops conductor Jeff Tyzik who has been hailed, "Among the best pops conductors in America," by Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. He has also been recognized as an innovative conductor through his startling arrangements, original programming, and engaging rapport with audiences of all ages. The symphony is also well known for performing classical juggernauts such as The Rite of Spring as well as more whimsical nights of jazz standards.
Duke Ellington. The Ramones. Pearl Jam. If a musical act has made a deep, cool-looking dent in American culture, it's probably played at The Showbox. The Seattle music venue has been drawing great performers since it opened in 1939, when the proto-proto-proto-grunge movement was underway. Paying tribute to this rich history, the owners recently gave The Showbox's lounge space a new old name: Kerns Music Shop, which used to be a storefront owned by a local trombonist.
Since its 1926 opening, The Triple Door has played many roles—vaudeville theater, movie house, burlesque—and in 2002 it entered its latest incarnation, as an award-winning music venue and lounge. The Musicquarium Lounge at The Triple Door boasts a 1,900-gallon freshwater aquarium, as well as a menu inspired by Asian delicacies and brought to you by the acclaimed Wild Ginger kitchen. Start your evening with some Bangkok boar satay dipped in a golden-raisin plum sauce ($5 each, two for $9), and kick your noshing into high gear with fragrant duck spiced with cinnamon and star anise and served with steamed buns, Sichuan peppercorn salt, and sweet plum sauce ($14.50 half, $23.50 whole). Sip a beer-like beverage ($3.50–$12.50 bottled, $5.50 draft), sake ($8–$15), or cider ($5.25–$15.25) as live music swims into your ear canals most evenings from the lounge stage sans cover charge. Signature cocktails such as the river taxi ($8.50)—made with Mekhong whiskey, coconut water, lemongrass, and pineapple—float on sound waves aboard rafts made of smooth, smooth bass lines.
Cover your stomach with a warm, electric blanket of food. Today's Groupon gets you $40 worth of comfort food at Shadowland, a low-lit, intimate setting for a relaxing, nourishing, and potentially low-lit, intimate evening. The Restaurant: Helpful waitstaff The Land of Shadows: Usurper king Zand the Pestilent wields Trandmor's Staff to plunge once peaceful kingdom into darkness
The Seattle Shakespeare Company delivers bard-penned dramatics to eager theatergoers, delighting patrons with fresh takes on Shakespeare's classic plays. Following several plot threads, including the supernaturally altered infatuations of two young couples and the antics of a clownish troupe of actors, A Midsummer Night's Dream deftly mixes fantasy and sidesplitting comedy into a mélange that tickles funny bones and ousts any were-hyenas sitting in the audience. Fairies, love spells, and mistaken identities keep plots rolling merrily along before all is resolved in jubilant fashion. Shows take place at the Intiman Playhouse, with seating that puts theatergoers close enough to see every costume lace ruffle and anachronistically flawless smile.
Named Billboard's top Hot 100 artist of 2010, electropop sensation Ke$ha electrifies fans with catchy tunes, punchy lyrics, and a larger-than-life persona. With a list of chart-topping hits that includes "TiK ToK," "We R Who We R," and "Your Love is My Drug," Ke$ha charms even the most curmudgeonly, highbrow ears with irreverent lyrics and taut, shimmering beats that stick in listeners' heads like dreams covered in peanut butter. Presided over by a quirkily becostumed Ke$ha, the Get $leazy tour sucks fans into a nonstop, glitter-filled night of dancing, performance, and languor-shattering rapture. LMFAO, the tuneful twosome behind the high-energy hit "Party Rock Anthem," and electro-rapper Spank Rock complement Ke$ha's sonic spectacle with their own dulcet melodies.

I bought the cooper pan to make jams and marmalades. The wide open rim makes it easy to add ingredients, stir, and skim.
We use this pan to cook jam on a gas range. This is the pan recommended in the Blue Chair Jam book. Jam cooks quickly and evenly, without burning. The huge surface area allows the jam to boil off water quickly. It works perfectly for what it is designed to do Also, the pan is beautiful hanging on the wall! Since the pan is solid copper and copper is relatively soft, the bottom shows scratches where it was dragged on the cast iron range grates.
Bought as a housewarming gift! Very pleased with quality!

It's been a long while since Sacred 2: Fallen Angel debuted on the gaming market back in 2008, and we haven't heard a whole lot about the series since then. Today, however, we got new information regarding two new games in the series including an offshoot, and a proper sequel.
They released the trailer above today announcing Sacred Citadel, a 2D brawler set in the Sacred universe, but with a decidedly more cartoonish tone. The game features two-dimensional beat-em-up gameplay with giant bosses and vehicular combat with three playable characters which can also be used in the game's three player co-op.
They also used this opportunity to drop the small detail that Sacred 3 will be arriving in 2013. Sacred Citadel is also scheduled for release in 2013 on PC/Steam, Xbox Live, and the PlayStation Network.

When was your last perm? October 2006 was the last time I put a perm in my hair. I did it right before my birthday but at that time I was still using heat majorily.
When did you Big Chop? May 2010 is the day I decided to big chop and never look back.
When is the last time you used a flat iron? I haven't used a flat Iron since January 2010
Do you blow dry your hair? I use the tension method on low speed/low heat. I do not use a comb attachment or diffuser.
What is your hair type? If you're using the hair system I woud say 3B, 4A, 4C lol. It's a different texture everywhere.
What is your natural hair color? In some areas my hair is jet black and in others it's light brown and then dark brown. It's always been that since I was little.
What is your go to hair style? My LAZY hairstyle would definitely be a puff, however I love the longevity braid outs give me.
What is your favorite hair product? Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque *Shivers* ...
That stuff treats me RIGHT!
That stuff treats me RIGHT!
Why did you go natural? That LAST perm I got in 2006 tore the back of my hair UP. I've always had really long super thick hair so I've always used SUPER perms. Well I've always known that African Pride was CRAZY strong and would sometimes burn but to me that meant it was working. That last time I put that stuff into my hair it split my hair in the back straight across all the way to my nape. I cut my hair right underneath my ears and told myself I would NEVER perm my hair again.
Are you really a nail polish junkie? You know it! Ever since I was a little girl I use to collect nail polish no matter where I went. I cannot walk away from Hair Products, Nail Polish or Purses. I will fight you if you don't let me AT LEAST LOOK! :)

I've only recently just started Grimm, only played one session so far (but that will soon change). Checking the forums several times a day, I've noticed that the view count per thread most certainly doesn't match up with the replies. To put it simple, I want to start a thread where players and narrators alike post mini-stories, or episode if you will, that they enjoyed. Basically...create our own resources for the game for narrators in need to be able to grab a quick idea or two for an adventure and for viewers to gawk at our imaginary power! It doesn't have to be long, or so specific you're discussing the die results, but just a walkthrough of what went down for your party for others to see how to put some of the resources provided in the book to use. It'd be great to see new faces and people providing input rather than the same like 7 that "infest" these forums . I'll provide an example to get things started:
Scouring through the book for something that I could use for my new-born players to experience, I finally found the Castle of Snakes (pg 143). But after reading through it, it seemed to dry and boring and I wanted to add a twist to each room. When the players entered the gatehouse and set eyes on the tunic that was straight across the room, they also happen to notice 7 small, kid-sized pedestals around the room. Atop each of these pedestals lies a clenched, stone fist (it seemed more sensical to me that the bulk of damage they dealt was because of the stone impact rather than just being adult sized hands). While at the bottom of the pedestals, there was a matching stone foot. When the players entered the room and showed interest in the tunic, the hands immediately became animated. After a few rounds, they weren't too successful and knew they weren't going to get to the tunic, so they sent out the bully to grab their attention while the rest looked for an alternative -- the stone feet. The feet weaken the fists when they are too close, providing a bonus to scrap when defending with a foot and decreased the fists defense trait (I used scamper since they got a +2 stature advantage with it) when attacking with a foot. With this advantage the kids successfully got to the tunic and onto the second tower.
In the second tower, the kids immediately noticed the damp and mildew-y smell coming from the loft on the second floor. There were puddles leading up the staircase and a thick line of salt lining the edges of the room. The players chose to investigate the salt and noticed that there were flies littered throughout as well as what looks like a slight pulse. The kids decided it was in their best interest to poke the line of salt, and in doing so, they evoked a distasteful reaction from the loft...so they decided it was in their even better interest to violent beat the salt (a humorous scene I must add). And with that, 7 razor-teethed from came leaping down the stairs and over the loft to greet them, but they seemed weary and weakened. Leaving the dreamer behind to continue whaling on the salt, the bully proceeded to attack the frogs, receiving a +1 attack and defense bonus due to their weakened state. With the defeat of each frog, blue ooze came gushing out from different points in the salt. When all were defeated, an ordinary frog came leaping out of the razor-frogs mouth and followed the kids through the rest of the castle as a token of their appreciation for lifting their curse. But before they could proceed to the larger tower, they had to cross a dilapidated bridge with a scamper test of 2nd grade or fall to their death. And of course...the oafish bully couldn't even manage that, but before he knew it the 7 frogs whipped their tongues out, catching him and swinging him back onto the bridge.
In the last and final tower, a spiral staircase wound up around the outer walls with 7 different platforms at even intervals up the stairs. To show the dirty, ill-maintained condition of the place...I described it as being covered in hay. Little did I know that it would play a big factor... As the players ascended the stairs, a stone goblin rose out of the stone steps at each level to block their path. Providing a long battle because of their high protection, the players shattered the first goblin and wanted to find another way around them. So they ran down the stairs and stuffed their pockets with hay. When the 2nd goblin appeared, they led him down to the 1st platform and blocked off his path using the hay. Since the goblins were bound to the stone flooring, I decided I liked their train of thought (using simple flavor text to their advantage) and allowed this tactic to work. They worked their way up to the top, reaching the shoes. As they grabbed them, the platforms began to collapse, starting with the first and working upwards. They ran to the stairs and got to the bottom to realize the snake princess was already their waiting, so the kids went ahead and handed her the clothes. Revealing herself as a witch, she tried to transfer the curse, but the frogs leapt in the way and took the curse for the kids. The witch and frogs (now snakes) quickly retreated, revealing a newly constructed bridge between the 2 towers with a troll guarding the way. Promising to bring back the head of a witch or be hunted by trolls forever and ever, they leave the castle and find the Nut Cracker (who the kids are working with) dragging off the witch's body - a perfect opportunity to retrieve a witch head. And with that the kids successfully conquered the Castle of Snakes.

I have been reading about both Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) and Carolina Jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens).
I still don't have answers to these 6 questions. I'll bet ya'll can straighten me out: 1. Are carolina jasmine blooms always yellow and confederate jasmine always white? 2. Is confederate jasmine less cold-hardy than carolina jasmine? What about confederate on a south wall with heavy mulching where winter temp can drops to zero? 3. Are they comparable as climbers? 4. Somewhere I got the impression that confederate jasmine would climb a bare brick wall. Can this be true? 5. What kind of Carolina jasmine is fragrant? I just bought some blooming and it's not. 6. I have read here that Confederate jasmine smells like privet; does everyone agree? I love smelly flowers but privet is too much for me. Also-- is either invasive in southern piedmont? I'm in north central NC. Thank you. I love Southern Gardening Forum. |
Follow-Up Postings:

Carolina Jessamine is much hardier than Confederate jasmine...the south side of your wall is the best bet for you, but is isn't really hardy to your area. Confederate has an intoxicating scent..but not overpowering. There are also strains of fragrant Carolina Jessamine..but I don't know where to get them. As to color, Confederate alos comes in pink flowers but Carolina is always yellow. Carolina Jessamine is also more rambucntious as a climber and can be invasive but not overly so. And yes, Confederate can climb a bare brick wall! |
You may want to try the 'Madison' variety of Confederate Jasmine - it is supposed to be hardier into warmer sections of Zone 7. As far as invasiveness - are you worried about planting a non-native plant that will invade nearby woodlands, or are you worried about a pest for your garden with lots of seedlings?? Carolina Jasmine is native to the Southern Piedmont, so don't worry about it invading the woods. It's probably already there. Look for it up in the trees along the woods' edges in March/April -- it's essentially invisible except that time of the year when it creates splashes of yellow winding through the upper parts of the trees. As far as in the garden - you will probably get some volunteers, but they are very easy to pull up if you don't want them. Or pot them up and give them to others or sell them on eBay! I doubt Confederate Jasmine would cause any inasiveness problems in your area due to marginal hardiness. In fact, I haven't even heard about it being invasive in warmer areas where it is widely planted. |
My confederate jasmine thrives in two protected southern exposures. |
- Posted by FoxesEarth 8b GA (My Page) on Tue, Nov 16, 04 at 13:10
I grew Confederate Jasmine just south of Atlanta in a western exposure. It twines to climb, so needs a little bit of trellis support on a brick wall to stay in place. It will die back when temps approach zero, but survives. It smells better than privet, but is a heady fragrance best enjoyed from a bit of distance. Here, the two, Jasmine and jessamine, are equally sturdy climbers. I don't plant jessamine -- it grows wild in the woods and will climb to the tops of the tallest trees. Along the highway, you can see it like yellow swags through the trees. My understanding is that yellow jessamine is poisonous. Confederate jasmine makes a super ground cover and can be kept mowed to contain the edges. Nell |

I want to know how to root confederate jasmine - any suggestions on the best way? My neighbor has a GORGEOUS arbor - and wants to cut it back - i was going to try to root it. Thanks! |
Pretty easy, best done in the spring - standard rooting method from semi-hardwood cuttings with hormone dip, but I've done ok just sticking bits in a cup of water too. I use a peat / sand / perlite mix for planting. Take care when you handle it, as some folks get a rash from the sap. Layering also works well. Like many vines it wants to root where it finds soil. |
my confederate jasmine makes a few seeds. you might look for those before they prune it. the pods are long and thin, somewhat bean-like or like a mini-catalpa pod. the seeds themselves are like giant dandelion seeds, with the little parachute at the top. |

I have Carolina jessamine 'Pride of Augusta' which is a double flowered variety and it is fragrant. I've only had a few flowers on it so far so I don't know how fragrant a vine full of them will be, but the individual flowers smelled very nice. |
As a pot plant, grown of doors in New York, can I keep my Confederate Jasmine blooming through the Summer? I've been reading that it is a Spring bloomer in the South when grown in the ground. I just purchased two 3FT topiaries in 5 gallon containers and they are covered with blooms. Of course I plan on keeping them in their containers and bringing them in during the Winter. My biggest concern is keeping the blooms coming. |

There is also the yellow star jasmine, Trachelospermum asiaticum (confederate jasmine = T. jasminoides). It is hardier than confederate, but also a slower grower. |
Here is a link that might be useful: yellow star jasmine
If you get 'Carolina jessimine' I would suggest you look for swamp Jessimine, which blooms in spring and fall (two blooms for the price of one). I have Madison Jasimine (sometimes called Star Jasimine) on a eastern exposed wall and the leaves turn a pretty shade of burgandy in the winter. I think it smells kinda like pumpkin pie imho. |
so, can Jasmine handle sun. I thought to put a confederate Jasmine at my mailbox, but it gets sun most of the day and I wanted to make sure I will not kill it. Also, do I have to bring it inside, or will it last through out the winter on its own outside? This is my first Jasmine, so I do not really know. Thanks, Engi |

EngiN, I am in zone 7a-b, Greensboro, NC. My confederate jasmine is on a fence in full sun and does fine. In the winter, the leaves turn burgundy and do not completely fall off. It's on its third year. K. |

I'm in Atlanta and have both of these growing in my yard. Confederate has been allowed to climb the lattice and railing on my deck and it has taken over the thing, which is OK, I just have to hack it back ever year to keep it under control...the white blooms are very fragrant. This one is about 5 years old and shows no chance of slowing down the growth. Carolina is trained up an old iron street post and has also taken that over...it's a more willowy vine, whereas Confederate is more woody and has tougher stems. They both do exceptional for me here in the Atlanta area...I would highly recommend them both. |

I'm a Yankee who is successfully growing Confederate Jessamine on a column of my back porch. It has been provided with vinyl hardware cloth to hold on. It's in its 3rd year, but I'm told it can be tender in our zone 7a. The scent is just nice, not overwhelming. |
I live in Atlanta and have seven Confederate Madison Jasmines. Yestersay, I was SHOCKED to see that three of these plants have produced pairs of long, thin, pale green seed pods. Even though it would be far easier to buy more plants at the nursery, I'd love to try and grow new plants from the seeds in these pods. Does anyone know when these pods are ready to be picked, and when the seeds should be planted? Hyperboy |
Thanks for all the comments. Like Hyperboy, I want details on propagating Confederate Jasimine from seed. Last December, my brother in West Georgia gave me some pods like Hyperboy described. I (shallowly) planted some of the seed where I wanted them to grow, trying to duplicate nature. I kept the others cold until early spring and planted them. Nothing happened either place. I know the seed were fresh, because I saw the pod on the vine. It was already open and starting to scatter. I'd love to try again, but I'm clueless about what to do. Thanks. (BTW, I bought Carolina Jasmine plants and they're growing gangbusters). I do want some of that sweet white Confederate, though. I don't know what variety my brother's seed were, and of course they were in a bit warmer zone than my 7a. |
Several years ago I planted two Carolina Jasmine beside patio posts which supported the vinyl roof. The trained vines are currently covering the underside of the roof rafters. A few days ago replaced the leaky roof with a solid one. . knowing that no direct sun will reach these vines,am wondering if they will live, or if I should immediately remove them from their supports, leaving only the outside attached to rafter and hanging to patio level. They would then receive afternoon sun. |
I live in Maryland and have had a Confederate Jasmine for 6 years--it comes back every year--very vigorously--but has NEVER BLOOMED!! Anybody have an idea what I may be doing wrong? |
As far as germinating the Confed. J. seeds, you may want to check into the winter sowing forum. That group has a lot of experience between them. |
shadyside: I've read that Confederate J. blooms on previous year's wood. If yours dies down to the ground each winter, that could be why you're not getting any flowers. |

I just purchased a few confederate Jasmines to cover a fence, I have tried to untangle it a bit from the small wooden trellis its all wrapped around and tried to get the loosened up vines and help then to tangle around the chain link fence How long you think I can see results Im in Miami so cold weather here is like in the 60's whenever it drops that low I have also done some reading and seen that they also come in Yellow and Pink is this true? |
My confederate jasmine is not blooming. What can I feed to make it flower? Please help. |
- Posted by Deanna Crownover 9b(firstname.lastname@example.com) onWed, Jan 19, 11 at 18:15
I have both kinds. The Confederate is so hardy that I've allowed it to completely cover a mock cherry tree (tree's dead, it's worth it...The Star (yellow) jasmine grows wild here. I also have the Confederate growing on 3 fences. This stuff MUST be pruned back (else it pulls the soffit off of the house. I just collected about 20 seeds from opened pods today, and am starting them in jiffy 7 peat pellets just for kicks. Since I have full FL sun, which can be brutal, I KNOW that Confederate and yellow both thrive in full sun, planted in sand ONLY with NO fertilization...ever. I'll let you know how the seed does! |

Here in Columbia SC, Confederate Jasmine has escaped near my neighborhood and looks to be on the way to being quite invasive. Seems to have been spread along roadsides and now is smothering shrubs and small trees. I would not recommend planting it too far south where it can spread. |

My Confederate Jasmine has been getting some pale leaves. I've given the plant some ironite, which has greened up the overall plant nicely, but the pale leaves have not changed. Any ideas? |

I have confederate jasmine on my chain link fence and have never seen a seed pod. Do confederate jasmine not produce seed pods? |
- Posted by TripleJackInGA 7 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 12:52
Hi All - First posting here. I stumbled in here, after searching for info on ground cover that grows rapidly and vertically. How long do you think it would take Confederate Jasmine to grow to the top of the bare area (maybe 7' at the corner peak)? This area is in full Sun from maybe 11AM till just about dusk each day. Thanks in advance! |
I know this last post is from last year but you might look into Homestead Verbena. It is a ground cover that has purple flowers. I planted it last spring and it went crazy covering my beds and blooming all summer and then again in the VERY early spring this year. Just be sure you look at the Homestead which is a perennial. |

Craziest Places for Cat Lovers
Tashirojima Island, Japan
Cats outnumber the human residents on Tashirojima Island, near Honshu Island in Japan. In the past, the islanders raised silkworms for silk, relying on stray cats to control the mouse population. The fishermen that followed would feed the cats that hung around the inns, and a kinship developed between the two species, aided by a local belief that looking after cats brings good luck and fortune. The island is now a popular tourist destination, complete with shrines to the feline population and architecture shaped like cats. —Emma Sloley

TUCSON - George Hammel began dirt bike racing at the age of 12, and quickly ranked professional.
However, at 19, everything changed when he broke his back for the second time and became a paraplegic.
"When I hit the jump, I flew off the back and landed on my feet. When I landed on my feet, it broke both my legs, my tail bone, my back, both of my arms and fractured a piece of my skull, " Hammel said.
Although he knew he didn't want to be wheelchair bound forever, getting better was extremely challenging.
"I can't tell you how many days I woke up and thought 'dude I'm not even going to go to therapy. I hate it."
But his determination and family support gave him a reason to go.
Doctor Scott Jackson, who specializes in physical therapy, says the first time he met Hammel, he knew he had a long road ahead of him.
When I asked Dr. Jackson if he had ever seen a case like George's, he said "Never. Never. He's number 1."
But the challenge didn't stop either of them and they went to work immediately. The first task was to focus on George's quadriceps, which were the only muscles he still had after being wheelchair bound for five years.
After strengthening and conditioning those, they moved to his back and abdominal muscle groups.
Now George can once again get on his 2 wheels.
Last week he completed the 42 mile El Tour de Tucson ride for the very first time.
"I didn't think I was going to be able to make it under 3.5 hours, so doing it in under 3...I was really excited," he said.
Now, George wants to prepare for next years 111 mile long ride, and spread his message to others battling hardships.
"I just think no matter what happens, if you have a strong will and mindset, you can achieve anything you want to."
For more information, photos and videos of George Hammel, please go to his website: www.georgehammel.com

When I arrived there the guy from the hostel told me that they double booked the last free bed for the night because they couldn't manage to update their calender although I had booked one week in advance. So I had to leave and find another place where one of the guys took me to. Coming to Cancun, getting riped of by the taxi driver and then getting kicked out of the hostel made the whole Cancun experience very unpleasant for me

Bed and Breakfast Garden was like staying at a mate's place. The environment was one of the warmest of any hostel I've ever been in, and the staff were great. Compared to other hostels, this one is a lot more chilled out, more of a 'homely' experience.

Hello all! I've read and asked a few questions before about the design of my beds . . . I love to hear suggestions from other gardeners!
I mentioned the staking of squash and was offered a few old posts/threads that were very beneficial. It was certainly enough to get me growing and staking! Now, I'd like to ask for good detailed PICS from anyone who could provide!?!? I'll be posting mine soon to show my progress--photobucket is blocked here at work. I have 3 yellow (straighneck) squash that are doing fabulously. I'm curious how tall they'll get with this vertical method? Does anyone ever trim the very bottom leaves to allow for more space around them for neighboring plants (if desired)? The stems are hollow -- leaving me with worry whether or not to cut. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not sure what old posts/threads you have reviewed but the one below is detail instructions and pictures of snibb's method of staking summer squash. There are pictures way down in the post of the whole garden with staked squash and also farther down there are pictures of the stake/rope technique snibb uses. I am trying this on two summer squash this year as an experiment. |
Here is a link that might be useful: staking squash

Hi Momstar, Thanks for the link. Someone referred me to this before but I don't see much detail in the pics. I suspect some of the photos are blocked by my computer at work...I can't always see the photos. I'll check the link from home just in case. How is your experiment working so far? I'm doing the t-posts on all 3 of my squash. The bottom leaves are really intruding on surrounding plants, so I thought about trimming a few stems off but I'm worried about disease and pests! Instead of using a rope to tie the stem upward, I'm using strips of pantyhose. Its working very nicely; I also like that I didn't have to deal with a bunch of rope laying around my pretty beds. |
- Posted by alouwomack FtWorth TX / 8 (My Page) on Fri, May 14, 10 at 20:40
Well, here's my progress so far: Instead of rope, I'll be adding a strip of thick pantyhose as needed; I like the stretch it provides while still being strong enough to hold the weight of big plants--like my tomatoes. I did end up trimming a few of the bottom leaves off because of the other plants surrounding the squash. (I'll provide more space next year.) I hope that I'm not setting myself up for bug problems by cutting on the plants . . . As with any gardening, it will be a surprise to see what happens! Oh, I think I should've purchased taller t-posts too!! |
- Posted by angela12345 7b NC Mixed-Humid (My Page) on Mon, May 17, 10 at 9:40
How tall are the t-posts that you bought ? I have 3 foot (I think). I dont remember that the actual stalk part (the part I would be tying to the stake) got taller than that last year. That length posts were substanially cheaper than the next size up ... they were only about $1.87 each. If the yellow squash do get taller, they will just have to grow up past it or maybe flop over a bit at the top. |
Beautiful! I am so jealous. My experiment so far is this: I have planted the seeds and I've driven the T-post into the ground next to them. Last frost date was Saturday (yippee). I haven't even seen a sprout come through yet. Still kinda early here in zone 5. I actually cheated and gave the staked squash a 2'x2' square on the corner of the bed. I figure if it gets out of hand it can have leaves hanging over the edge of the bed and that won't shade or crowd anything else. to the side of it I have planned Habanero pepper and to the rear I have planned tomatoes in cages (kinda cages....another experiment). I also planted backup squash in other beds and gave them the full 3x4' space I usually give them. Since I really am not hurting for every square inch of my square foot beds I can afford to let them sprawl out. I have 6 beds 4'x8' each plus some containers. I'm not a hardcore square footer, more like an intensive raised bed grower. |
- Posted by alouwomack Fort Worth TX / 8 (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 11:57
Hi Angela, I think the t-posts I purchased are 4 feet tall . . . I do remember that they were quite a bit more expensive the taller they got. It will be interesting to see how "tall" the squash grow. and Hello Momstar, I have all 3 squash / 1 per square on the 2nd row from the front. I've cut a few of the leaves back that were smashing my dill and basil. On the backside of the plants are 4 squares of cowpeas; they don't seem to mind the occasional squash leaf crossing over here and there; the tomatillo is getting a bit cramped on the east side of the squash but I think the afternoon relief from the setting sun might be worth the trade off. It sounds like you're squash set-up is well on its way! They grow so fast once they sprout and your soil stays warm; I think 2 square feet will be much easier to handle since you'll need to get in and around the plant to keep it staked. |
Whooot! Checked last night and I have a sprout! I haven't staked it yet though. lol I think I'll let it get just a little bigger before I start that. |
- Posted by alouwomack Fort Worth TX / 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 10:34
Congrats on the little sprouts momstar! My plants were pretty large before I added any support. They are doing great and growing upright like it is natural for them. |
That's great. How did you keep the pantyhose from slipping down the support stake? You cut it in strips but what direction? Around the leg making a loop or length wise from toe to hip in strips? My sprout is still small but with the weather finally turning I'm sure it will be ready for support in no time. |
- Posted by alouwomack Fort Worth TX / 8 (My Page) on Fri, May 21, 10 at 12:01
Hi Momstar, I didn't use the torso part of the hose; I suppose you could though. After I cut the legs off (sounds funny to say), I cut the legs making several loops. This seems to work nicely in case you want to leave the loop whole or cut it to make a longer but thinner strip. The t-posts I'm using have holes every so often that I'm threading the hose thru. I've noticed there are little hooks/notches on the top part of my stakes but not on the bottom half; I figure I'll use the notches when I get to that point but either way the posts have holes throughout the length of itself. Do yours have holes? I hope so! If not, the rope might be the better way to go. -Amber |

SUBSCRIBE HERE to receive DEP's Barnegat Bay Action Updates
Barnegat Bay Blitz
The Barnegat Bay Blitz held at the tuckerton Bay Seaport, in spite of the rainy weather, was a huge success. Coordinated by Tuckerton's John Schwartz, who brought together, the Mayor, Council members, the school superintendent, principal and school board members was highlighted by an inspiring talk from the Seaport Director, Paul Hart, about the seaport to forty (40) sixth graders. Paul spoke about the importance of Barnegat Bay and it's historical significance. With the winds howling, the students were "charged-up" by an invigorating talk by DEP's Commissioner, Bob Martin, who spoke about the Governor's initiative and reminded the students of their civic challenge. Speaking for about fifteen minutes the Commissioner, his chief of Staff and press staff trekked along the Tuckerton trail and picked up bags of debris with the children. I would personally like to thank the Tuckerton Elementary School sixth grade teachers who championed the cause, Mrs. Evans and Mr. Ubelhoer; The Superintendent and the Principal who supported the cause and of course the forty students who worked the cause. Lastly, but I am most appreciative to the Mayor of Tuckerton Boro, George "Buck" Evans for his unwavering support.

Drv..how tall is your plant? Looking at the last leaf, it reminds me of a P. Selloum or P. Xanadu. It could pass for P. Lacerum, but the veins on Lacerum are more pronounced than your plant. I agree, bet it's going to be a big guy, and will eventually need staking. Toni |
