HAPPY belated THANKSGIVIING!!! Mike, your plants are doing FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Jade has buds..Amazing..I hope you posted that Jade pic on C&S Forum, too.. Your Citrus are doing great too..the fruits are huge. They're very happy... :) I was going to ask if your Plumaria was blooming now, or the pic was taken during summer..It's beautiful, Mike. Maybe I'll look into getting one next summer..lol..I can smell the flowers through the puter..lol. It's been a long time since I had Sweet Olive, but I recall mine bloomed in winter..is it possible they're winter bloomers, too??? Mike you must correct Hosta to Hoya..lol..I know it was a typo, but a newbe might think Hostas grow like Hoyas..lol..I WISH..Although Hostas are interesting, they don't come close to the looks of a Hoya.. Anyway, Mike, I am very very Impressed with your plants, and to top it off, NO bugs..That's great news. Let's hope they stay away.. |
When happy jade plants cover themselves with flowers. Be sure to give yours the maximum possible light exposure. |

Toni....And to you too!!! How are you? I miss you? LOLOLOL..Where the heck are you going to sleep and watch TV if you bring in anymore plants? You are so brave to have so many and not worry about bugs attacking them.Even though we have a cure, it is alot of darn WORK to keep them at bay....lol Since I posted these, I did find ONE scale on a leaf and I sprayed it with fish emulsion as you recomended once before, and it croaked, the scale that is...You are so right..It works! Thanks so much for your compliments..It means alot from you, as well as everyone else, especially since I have people like you to thank for making it possible..Than God I know you and everyone else here!! Thankyou Hosta..NO, but hoya..lol...I don't even know of hand what a hosta looks like now.... That plumeria is still blooming..It was taken that day, Saturday. It is still going strong... The Jade blooms, I am still trying to find out what the heck I did right!!lol. I asked the question on the cactus forums... Listen, if you want a plumeria, I have dozens and I could spare one for you..Just let me know.. Bboy!! I have them in full sunlight all year in huge windows..Thanks for the tip.. Bill, I was just there the other day looking around, and it never occured to me to grab a few..Darn it..Thanks tho. I wish you all the best and let nothing stop your plants from performing well for you, and never stop smiling! Mike..;-) |

Howdy..Mike, there's always room for one more..or two or three..lol.. Besides being on a Hoya kick, I've now added Clivias and Christmas Cactus to my collection, or should I say, obsession..lol A seller on Ebay had a variegetd CC up for bid in summer..I can't recall the final winning cost, but it was over 100.00!!! While browsing Ebay, I came across a CC that's possibly variegated..the seller said she wasn't sure..After looking it over I decided I wanted it..lol..believe me, it wasn't even 1/4 the price of the other variegated..The CC arrived Fri or Sat, 'I won't name the person, but someone we all know and love bought a variegeted CC from the seller I got mine.' Mike, you're so funny..you talk about ME running out of space..What about you? lol..You're getting as bad as I am..lol..Not to mention all your big, lovely, citrus trees..My citrus for the most part are minis compared to yours.. So, you stopped at Logees? Find anything interesting? If so, what? I dont think we'll ever run ouf of plant varieties..there are so many types. Mike, I still think you should try Jasmine, 'Maid of Orleans.' They're beautiful and bloom all year, including winter. Flowers are so very fragrant.The best place to get one is, www.accentforhomeandgarden.com He has the nicest plants at great prices.. if you get a chance, take a look at his Jasmine, oh AND Hoyas....When I bought my MOO from him, it'll be 3 yrs old, I purchased two, then planted together. I promise you'll love it. As for this forum waking, I bet most people are preparing for Christmas..that's one reason I haven't been around. The house has been terribly dry, so fighting against dry air has been an issue..Soil is drying out fast. Anyway, Mike, once again your plants are beautiful..when you have a chancce please post more..keep us updated on your Jade..hugs, Toni |

Howdy to you too!! Lol..You are so right! I am running out of room too! I was just thinking this am...Unless you view your plants like children, or animals that need care on a daily basis, it is almost impossible to be sucessful at growing anything, healthy..lol I have to make sure NOT one, not ONE plant is missed daily for fertilizing, watering, and pest inspection needs.... If I do.....Oh boy.. So I guess the more we take on, the "funner" it becomes? lol Remember when you told me way back when to try a MOO, well I did get one! Not just one, but 2...I love them!! You are right, they are always flowering...I just wished the darn flowers would stay on for more than a day at a time...lol A variegated christmass cactus? No way! If there is an unusual plant out there, you will definately find it as I do..lol Your plants are all so beautiful...You are one greenthumb for sure!!!In fact, it was you from the begining along with a couple of others that got me this far..Thankyou! I hope everyone is well, and that all your fragrants are enjoying winter this time around...Oh wait, have we even started it yet?..:-( Mike..;-) |

Hey Mike.. The day is dark..where's the sun? lol..Wonder if it's going to snow..Has it snowed up east yet, or too early? One thing about snow...it brightens up a home..ever notice? Snow reflects off walls (I only use Semi-Gloss White paint) and other bright objects.. Mike, the things we do for our plants! I've placed aluminum foil behind plants so when we do have sun, it reflects off the foil..lol.. One time, I tried collecting snow for plants..lol...Don't bother. One year, I placed containers outside while it was snowing, blizard-like. The containers collected snow, filled, 'which took forever,' then brought inside to melt..I wanted to cry. There was about 2" of water..lol..All that work for nothing.. Here's another thing I do, but am not recommending. When snow is fresh, I grab a handful and place directly on soil. Most of you reading this are shaking your head, thinking, she's NUTS, lol, but fresh snow, although cold, is pure. The problem doing this is it can chill roots..So, when I add snow, it has to be sunny and early in the morning. Never at night. So far, Thank God, snow has never harmed a plant. Again, I'm NOT telling anyone to do this.. I agree about caring for our plants like children, with one exception..What's the number one plant killer? OVERWATERING. Sometimes, people kill plants because they're too caring, and continue adding more and more water..Leaves droop, so they think, oh oh it needs more water or fertilizer..then the plant dies.. But never neglect plants either. Heck, I talk and sing to them..lol..you should see my birds when they see me talking, especially singing to a plant..lol..it's hilarious. I found the variegated CC on Ebay..Ebay is the BEST..I wouldnt have half the plants I do if it wasn't for Ebay or the internet in general. Most stores and nurseries here sell the same, old, common plants. When they get something they deem rare, prices are hiked up 100%. Terrible. Oh, I agree, 'playing' with plants is more 'funner' than cooking or cleaning..lol. Oh you do have a MOO??? GReat..Flowers don't last long like you say, similar to tropical Hibiscus. Speaking of which, my Hib tree had several buds and one opened flower..it opened 3 days ago and still going, but starting to look crinkly..I snapped a pic last night, but haven't put it on Flickr yet.. Have a wonderful day..hugs, Toni |
Mike, Your pics definitely brought a smile to my face as I look out at the snow drifts on the deck from our recent blizzard! Toni -- I'm collecting snow right now for some of my more temperamental orchids!! The trick is to really jam the snow in the bucket, let it melt, repeat until you can't take it anymore -- I dunno if it's worth it, but the things we do for love . . . . My calamondin orange opened up a few buds today, fragrance is outstanding -- I'm gonna have one of these til the day I die. My meyer lemon, on the other hand, is going on a year and a half here and never a single flower -- was it something I said?? Sweet olive is one of the greatest winter houseplants, my 'Fudinzou' variety just keeps pumping out more buds. My plumeria is way done for the year, though; it sits in the basement and goes leafless before I drag it upstairs when it gets warm again. Happy Holidays to all and Peace on Earth! Jim |

Jim and Toni!!! I am guilty myself..:-( I am sorry I added to the sleepful state of this forum lately.. I have been to sick to post on more than one forum at a time, and forgot about this one..Brain dead, but better..:-( I took your advice Toni..I painted my plant room bright colors, and hung aluminum foil in another room..What a difference it makes. I will take a pic of one plant room I just finished and show you.. I tried that snow collecting thing..What a joke..lol. You are not kidding about the overwatering thing! That along with underwatering, then a good drink once the roots have died..I think I might have finally learned this after all this time and help..Alot thanks to you! My real challange has yet to be won..Growing succulents, and crusselas without overwatering..:-)..So far so good.. Insects...Sheesh!!! hahaha..I think I have them beat too,lol. Speaking of pests..I felt bad, but I threw away my MOO. That is the one plant that I could never get rid of pests completely on, because there is so much room for pests to hide..So out it went! I have too have yet to find a nursery that sellsd unique stuff within 20 miles from me..No wonder they go out of buisness. Hugs Toni! Jim, Funny thing. I love sweet olives! Mine is blooming like crazy..It seem the cooler the room is this time of year, and keeping in just light, not sun, encourages them to bloom alot more. I am also looking into getting a Mango tree, and a Fig tree. I have a fellow employee who gets lot of figs on a 2 year old one..Sweet! They are also beautiful in appearance.. My plumies are all resting in my basement now, and my orange trees are exploding in blossoms..My plant room smell like a tropical island somewhere in the dead of winter.. I love it. Mike..:-) Take everyone, and stay safe. Mike..:-) |

I didn't know you could grow those fruit trees indoors! I'm in zone 5 too, in IA. I have a very well lit house. That's a great idea for me, since I love fragrant plants. Been growing orchids but only my cattleya is fragrant. I have about 15 indoor plants, mainly orchids. Thanks for the idea of how to bring flowers in during the dead of winter. Thank you again. |

Dottie, once you get the hang of it, you will be totally addicted! All my citrus are blooming like crazy along with many others, and boy does the house smell good. Like Florida in the winter! Your welcome for the idea. If you need help, we are all here.. Mike |

Mike, I should be saying, Cocka-doodle-do, however it's spelled..it's 5:22am..couldn't sleep...insomnia night..Tomoorow, er, todays going to be terrible..and I have a ton of places to go..sigh. I feel sad about your MOO, Mike..it's too bad you couldn't have cut it down, a few inches from the soil. Tossed the old growth..you'd be surprised how nice and full they grow in..oh well, will you try again??? MOO's are so fragrant. Aw, citrus..don't ya love it? I have one citrus in the back room..when it flowers the entire room smells like a summer, fragrant garden. It's still dark outside..as soon as the sun pops out, my African Violets are getting fertilized and Superthrived..I want to see more blooms..with all the dark days we've had, it's amazing anything is growing..lol..you'd think we'd have albino plants..lol..Toni |

Toni, my goodness, I ahve been dealing with the same stupid thing! Lack of sleep and irratability to be precise..lol. Yes, you goota love the citrus..What a plant to ahve rescue us from the pits of dark despair in the middle of winter..The fragrance in my room reminds me of Florida of some other tropical oasis! You know what? Why didn't I think of that! Darn it..I even threw away all my "duke" ones too!Since these plants have been gone, I have not been able to find any mites at all on any of my plants for weeks now..These plants harbored them year after year I think..I should of just cut them down to the ground...Darn it! I did not know that ST could help flower up your vilolets? I will have to give it a shot then..Hummmm I hear you about your "pondersosa" plant. I have had one for 3 years now, and it still aint taller. In fact 3 of them. I guess they make great Bonsai plants..lol. I can tell you though that I do get huge fruit though, on a foot tall plant..lol Well, I hope that you get better sleep tonight, or else we shall ahve to continue this conversation on such a dead and asleep forum..lol Mike..:-) |

Wow. Mike - those are some beautifully fragrant plants you have there! I do love your plumeria and those oranges and limes dripping off those branches! I envy you and Toni for having being able to grow citrus. I've killed several already. But I think it's worth trying again. I recently acquired a bonsai kumquat from some very good friends. It's just been recently repotted. Half the leaves are folding. Do you have any idea why this is happening and suggestions for its remedy? Toni - I hope you get better sleep tonight as well. I couldn't help but go to the online site you suggested. I would love to have a MOO! As a matter of fact I am determined to get one...lol. Thanks for the idea. ( : -Bo |

About Primera Division
The Primera Division, also commonly known as La Liga, is top professional football league in Spain and all Primera Division betting odds can be followed across OddsPortal.com.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have dominated La Liga standings since the 1950s and hence have dominated Primera Division betting odds to lift the trophy. Real Madrid have won the Primera Division title record thirty-two times whilst Barcelona have claimed twenty trophies. Primera Division fixture list is very hectic with the three lowest placed teams relegated to the Segunda Division from where top three teams get promoted to La Liga. It is extremely hard for all three newcomers to stay up and they start the new season with shortest Primera Division odds to be relegated.
The Primera Division fixtures list is out in late August/early September as La Liga draw is made. Barcelona and Real Madrid are historically the favourites with shortest La Liga odds comparison to clinch the Primera Division title. If points are equal between two or more clubs, Primera Division rules favour head-to-head results to determine the final Primera Division standings.
The top four Primera Division teams qualify for the Champions League with both fifth and sixth placed La Liga teams qualifying for the Europa League. Primera Division odds comparison on Barcelona and Real Madrid to finish in top four and hence qualify for the Champions League draw are always too short to consider. However, other two Champions League spots are always up for grabs and teams like Valencia, Malaga or Atlético Madrid may have some interesting La Liga betting odds to consider.

Congrats, Lila - they're adorable! They grow like weeds, so yours will be pupating before you know it. I had found a monarch chrysalis on the Ellen's Blue butterfly bush before my trip, so I checked it out yesterday. This morning, it had turned dark - And I just found this - So - they can do it without us! :) Sherry |

My fellow Virginians,
We have a rare opportunity before us this November. For as long as any can remember, when contemplating our choice for governor — an office occupied by Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe — our candidates, their résumés, and their life experiences have been . . . normal: Former attorneys general. State legislators. Congressmen.
This year, we have a distinctly . . . abnormal option in Terry McAuliffe, the most successful political fundraiser in American history.
In McAuliffe — a man never elected to any public office at any level — we have a rare combination of skills and experience, detailed at great length, and with great humility, in his 2007 autobiography, What a Party! My Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals.
Within these pages, with McAuliffe's own words — or the words of his co-author, Steve Kettman — we see that indeed, in this candidate, we have a man to fit the moment.
It's time for this commonwealth to have a governor who has had a wacky caricature of himself framed upon the wall at The Palm since 1980, marking his influence and stature among the lobbyists and power brokers who meet for steaks and martinis. It's time for a governor who has spent his adult life rubbing shoulders with the powerful at Pamela Harriman's house in Georgetown, and who has a regular table at Café Milano. It's time for a governor who can tell the best stories about Walter Mondale and about the hookers at Walter Shorenstein's mansion in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Let the candidate explain, in his own words, the role of a governor: "Let me tell you, it's a lot easier to raise money for a governor. They have all kinds of business to hand out, road contracts, construction jobs, you name it."
As he proudly boasts when discussing the time a casino owner demanded he go up and sing on a stage for a donation, "For $500,000 I don't mind humiliating myself for five minutes."
You see, Virginians? Standards.
You see, Terry McAuliffe worked his first fundraiser at the age of six. He's proven to be a groundbreaking innovator in the world of raising money, not merely by writing the infamous White House memo that set up Bill Clinton's coffees with donors at the White House, but by shooting a commercial on the QVC home-shopping channel in front of the Pennsylvania Avenue reviewing stand, selling Inauguration memorabilia.
You see, Virginians? Class.
A menu from his fundraiser on May 24, 2000, was put into the Smithsonian Institution, after he raised $26.3 million in one night.
Inexperience? Pshaw. Terry McAuliffe has turned down jobs that would have looked quite impressive to Virginia's electorate. In 2000, at a late-night card-playing session at the White House, his wife suggested to President Clinton that McAuliffe would make an excellent Secretary of Commerce, a position Bill Daley had recently departed. But John Podesta, the president's chief of staff, expressed worries about "sending the President's buddy and biggest fund-raiser in the party though a confirmation hearing right before the 2000 presidential election."

Catholic Church leaders say a phony priest has been making the rounds in Northern California, going into people's homes, celebrating mass and possibly asking for money.
The Sacramento Diocese says Javier Posada is pretending to be someone he's not—a Roman Catholic priest or bishop. He invites himself into homes of the faithful under false pretenses and celebrates mass. Source
This fake priest must not be very smart. Hitting up Catholics for money will likely give you a nice collection of dollar bills.

This episode is a little more enjoyable than most, because there is no Carl, no Sophia's mom, and no beard face. Watch it and pretend that they are dead!
We were never given a proper explanation as to why everyone all of a sudden KNOWS WITHOUT A DOUBT that Shane killed Otis, right?
Even though Shane's simple, straighfoward "Otis didn't make it" story is VERY believable?
The audience's "Huh?" reaction was priceless. Slow-claps all around!
Aren't all mistakes definitely permanent? Or no, because time-travel? I don't get this Jesus.
I really wish the Duke would've asked Lord Grantham "What day is it?"
"You're gonna be Big Brother Carl now, so take off that ridiculous hat."
Doesn't pretty much EVERY scene with dialogue feature only two characters? It's like the writers can't handle more than two characters having a discussion at any given time.
According to the timeline of this show, Otis shot Carl like a week ago right? Just want to be sure.

Zoom Room?s dog training facilities have one cardinal rule: owners must be present during class. This is because humans need just as much training as their canine companions when building confidence and communication, and it?s important that owners learn the best positive-reinforcement techniques from the knowledgeable staff. Group classes cover topics ranging from general obedience and agility training to more specific needs such as overcoming shyness. Other classes include Urban Herding, where dogs herd exercise balls into soccer goals indoors, Scent Work, where dogs learn to sniff out missing car keys or the TV remote, and Pup-lates, which is geared toward overweight or senior dogs, or those recovering from an injury.
In fact, improving canine social skills is one of Zoom Room?s missions, as evidenced by the regularly hosted fundraiser events and Doggy Disco parties, which give dogs a chance to meet other dogs and expand away from their inner circle of fire hydrants. This combination of training and fun, in addition to the facility?s selection of solution-oriented training gear, natural dog treats, and functional dog accessories, has garnered an array of local and national press.
In a high-ceilinged, sunlight-drenched and fully renovated factory building at the edge of Manayunk's Main Street business district, Caring for Cats is a multipurpose resource for felines and their owners. Keep your kitty healthy and purring with Caring for Cats' veterinary services, including on-site radiology capabilities and a maintenance program designed specifically for older animals. You can even untangle and beautify your long-haired feline with their grooming services, or board your buddies here while you're out of town. Simple point-of-sale pieces at the front of the facility help keep your kitty well groomed with flea combs and toys too, so they'll quickly forgive you for the bath. Best of all, barking or otherwise curious dogs are never an issue at this cats-only facility.
The roomy pet grooming salon and spa Chez Bow Wow in Northern Liberties aims to make your dog or cat look spiffy without rankling them during the often-unhappy treatment process. The shampoos, cuts, nail clipping and teeth brushing happen on three tables fully visible behind the counter, and all services are done with eco-friendly products. Before and after their sessions, dogs can hang out in a roomy waiting area and cats get large interconnected cages that allow for roaming. Chez Bow Wow welcomes temperamental and special-needs animals as well, and they partner with the local Street Tails Animal Rescue organization to make homeless critters look their best. A selection of grooming tools, shampoos and accessories like pet-odor-eliminating candles are for sale.
Full-body massages. Pedicures. Hot-oil treatments. These aren't pulled from the menu at a high-end New York spa—they're taken from the lineup of services at locally owned The Pet Snobs Boutique, where a staff of animal lovers pampers pets with an array of upscale grooming services. Furthermore, the team has packed its shelves with colorful toys and professional pet-care products, inviting canines, cats, and their owners alike to come in and browse. In grooming rooms, four-legged companions kick back as seasoned staff members dole out lavish baths, styling services, and skin treatments while gossiping about the town's handsomest mailman.

The Nigeria Immigration Service [NIS] has witnessed series of changes since it was extracted from the Nigeria Police Force [NPF] in 1958. The Immigration Department, as it was known then, was entrusted with the core immigration duties under the headship of the Chief Federal Immigration Officer [CFIO]. The department in its emergent stage inherited the Immigration Ordinance of 1958 for its operation.
At inception, the department had a narrow operational scope and maintained a low profile and simple approach in attaining the desired goals and objectives of the government. During this period, only the Visa and Business Sections were set up.
On August 1st, 1963, Immigration Department came of age when it was formally established by an Act of Parliament [Cap 171, Laws of the Federation Nigeria]. The head of the department then was the Director of Immigration. Thus, the first set of Immigration officers were former NPF Officers. It became a department under the control and supervision of the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs [FMIA] as a Civil Service outfit.
Since that time the service has come a long way in its march toward reform and repositioning for the implementation of modern migration management.
The structure has been changed to accommodate added responsibilities as well as emerging regional and sub-regional political alignments. The implication was the introduction of the ECOWAS and African affairs/bilateral division. Similarly aliens control and border patrol management were added to the responsibilities of the service.
Furthermore the service was saddled with the responsibility for the issuance of all Nigerian travel documents.
The service embraced the use of ICT in its operations with the introduction of the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card [CERPAC]. The service has since taken giant strides in the use of ICT in it processes and operational procedures, notably the introduction of online payment for its facilities, in other words e-revenue collections by the service popularized this mode of revenue collection, leading it to become a Federal Government policy.
Earlier on the Service created a website with the domain name www.immigration.gov.ng to create a platform for interaction and dissemination of information about its operations to a wide ranging clientele.
The introduction of machine readable electronic passports in 2007 was a landmark achievement by the service in that Nigeria became the first country in Africa to introduce the e-passport and among the first forty countries in the world to do so.
The e-passport has become a major tool in the fight against trans border criminality as it contains the biometric details of holders thus making it easy for detection of persons travelling under false identities or compromised travel documents especially as the service is poised to introduce the PKD at Nigeria's borders which has been approved by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
In due recognition of Nigeria Immigration Service's stride as exemplified above, the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] the global body that regulates standards for travel documents admitted Nigeria into its board as the sole African representative.
Currently the country is cutting over Machine Readable Passports [MRP] to the electronic passport [e-passport] which initial deadline was December 2010 but now extended to April 2011.
E-passport machines have now been installed in all the states of the federation and some foreign missions while efforts are ongoing to deploy e-passport machines to all Nigerian missions abroad. The Nigeria Immigration Service has been sending its personnel for passport intervention to all regions of the world in line with the Federal Government foreign policy of citizen diplomacy. This implies taking the mobile passport issuing equipments to acquire and process passport for Nigerians in Diaspora.
Another significant achievement in the realm of ICT development is the establishment of a well equipped forensic laboratory for the examination of travel documents and monetary instruments. It is also to be noted that NIS personnel manning this laboratory are highly skilled due to the fact that they have been exposed to a lot of training locally and internationally on document fraud detection and techniques.
The Service has three Directorates: Eight Zonal Offices, Thirty-Six State Commands & Federal Capital Territory and Immigration Offices in the 774 local government areas.
Since inception in 1963, the service has had twelve Comptrollers General.
Mr. David Shikfu Parradang, mni, the new Comptroller General of Immigration Service is an astute officer. Born in Pankshin, Kanke Local Government Area of Plateau State on the 6th of September 1959.

This excellent grade earned him a direct entry admission into the University of Jos in 1977 to study Sociology and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science, 2nd Class Upper Division degree in the year 1981.
Upon graduation, he proceeded to Anambra State for the one year mandatory National Youth Service Scheme [NYSC].
He subsequently enrolled for a Master degree programme in Public Administration which he successfully completed in 1997.
Mr. David Shikfu Parradang joined the Nigeria Immigration Service as an Assistant Superintendent of Immigration on the 14th day of October, 1982 and has served meritoriously in the following formations:
- Kano State Command at Visa Desk, Entry Permit, ECOWAS and African Affairs, Mallam Aminu Kano Airport and Surveillance Sections, 1983 – 1987.

Phoenix police announced Tuesday a three-pronged strategy for catching a man responsible for multiple sexual assaults in Ahwatukee Foothills: a task force, a reward and a partnership with Silent Witness.
Police did not say how many investigators and support staff have been assigned to the task force, which is meant to intensify the search for the man or others connected to sexual assaults on six women.
The women were attacked or approached while walking or jogging in recreational areas such as parks and golf courses.
Police said they'll allot additional resources to the task force if the need arises.
Silent Witness, a Valley hot line for crime tips, also will help police connect with the community to find witnesses and informants.
Silent Witness is distributing a flyer that describes the man and the crimes, and maps the locations of the incidents.
Police are offering a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to a arrest or the indictment.
The attacker is described as a dark-haired white man, possibly balding, and 25 to 40 years old. He is between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall and weighs around 200 pounds.
Anyone with information should call the Silent Witness hot line (480) 948-6377, or call toll-free 1-800-343-8477.

Feel bad about slamming Peavy yet?
Mike G.
Chicago, IL
This question makes the very broad assumption that I feel anything. I don't. If I did I would already be cowering in shame because the Cardinals just dropped a series to the LOLstros.
But this is baseball. It defies feeling. It defies logic.
The Red Sox and Phillies in last place? The Dodgers and Nats routing? Peavy in control, flashing signs of the old whip-and-kill-em arm action?
Why not? It's only May. Anything could happen.
Maybe I was a bit harsh on Peavy. Can you blame me? As far as baseballers go, Jake is pretty annoying. And up until this season, all he had really done in a White Sox jersey is yap yap yap with a string of poor performances following those empty words.
I want my pitchers to pitch. Not yap. PITCH.
Jake is finally doing that. Maybe his detached latissimus dorsi is properly attached again. His velocity is back. He's hitting his spots. Why should a man being paid like a superstar get extra accolades for FINALLY fulfilling his end of the bargain by pitching like a superstar? Isn't it too late!?!?!?
For my White Sox fan brethren, I am very relieved. Yes, it is early yet, but to see Peavy, Dunn, Rios and *GULP* Gordon Beckham actually perform well makes life on the south side much easier. But again, it is May. There's plenty of baseball left.
So I won't douse that crow with Sriracha until I know I absolutely have to eat it.
Hate me. It's cool. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

A Clash of Swords
A Look at Battles and Skirmishes in Battles of Westeros |
Battles of Westeros | Published 26 May 2010 |
Soon A Song of Ice and Fire fans will be able to recreate their favorite battles from George R.R. Martin's beloved book series in Battles of Westeros. Today continues a series of previews in which designer Rob Kouba takes us through the various mechanics behind the game. Previously we looked at combat, terrain, troop management, unit types, and commanders. Today, Rob will take us through the differences between battles and skirmishes.
Before setting up, players must decide which kind of engagement they will participate in. The core set offers two types of engagements: battles and skirmishes. This week's preview will go over the differences between the two.
Battles are standard scenarios that represent conflicts that happened or could have happened in between the lines of what is explicitly described in the novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin. Typically, customization in this type of engagement and is more about changing the "historical" timeline set forth in the books. For instance, what if Jaime Lannister was able to overcome the Stark ambush in Whispering Wood? Or what if the Lannister encampments surrounding Riverrun were not disbanded by Robb Stark's forces?
Each battle details several key aspects pertinent to the game including duration of gameplay, victory conditions, battlefield map setup, forces to be used by each House, and much more.
Click the above image to enlarge.
The first battle is entitled "Clash on the Kingsroad." It details an encounter where Stark supporters are attempting to travel north to rendezvous with Robb Stark's host when they run into a band of Lannister outriders traveling with infantry. Assuming they are riding to tell Tywin Lannister information that could be detrimental to Robb, the Stark loyalists assume defensive positions near the river's fords as well as neat the Kingsroad itself.
Lannister forces cannot afford to be cut off and attempt to breakout of the Stark net. The two control markers represent strategic positions that Lannister forces need to take from Starks while Stark forces need to defend them at all costs.
Upon first glance, it seems Lannister cavalry and experienced troops can easily win the day. However, their lack of of any ranged combat allows Stark archers to take advantage and attack Lannister forces as they march across the fords. The fords also slow the Lannister advance, bottlenecking units at the river crossings.
While this is a very basic battle, it is great building block for rookie commanders that are experiencing Battles of Westeros for the first time.
The number of battles in the core set is finite, however. Commanders may endeavor to play in new engagement outside of any sort of storyline restrictions. Or perhaps commanders would like to have more customizable options. For both cases, players can play a skirmish conflict instead of a battle.
Players start by selecting a skirmish to play which give victory conditions and other pertinent information much like a battle does. Where the skirmish differs is that, more often than not, commanders are up to the player. Forces and terrain overlays are determined randomly by Skirmish Setup cards. This allows for a lot of replayability.
An interesting choice that must be made when selecting your commander in a skirmish is how good of a commander you should take. By taking the best commanders, your best assortments of units are then unavailable to you. However, if you take so-so commanders, there is usually no guarantee that you will actually recruit your best units (there is only a chance).
Keep checking back for more about Battles of Westeros!
Set in the rich and vibrant world of George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, Battles of Westeros is a board game of tactical battlefield combat for two players. With scenarios that include beloved characters and settings, players can recreate the most significant battles from The War of the Five Kings.
It looks like they've included "Call to Arms" in the base game in the form of skirmishes. An excellent idea to provide a "complete" game in the base set. Most people consider Call to Arms an essential part of BattleLore.
I wish they would have given us some idea of how many battles and skirmishes come in the base set (as well as subsequent expansions).

Work in a simulator is one option, while other reports suggested Sirotkin might work towards obtaining experience, and his mandatory FIA credential, at the wheel of an older F1 car.

Tescoma Paloma Stove-top Espresso Maker
Thursday, August 18th, 2011We've taken stock this week of some new stove-top espresso makers from a company called Tescoma. Their Paloma coffee maker looks set to compete head to head with Bialetti's stalwart the Moka Express. They both look pretty similar; they're both made from aluminium; but the Paloma is cheaper in price and comes with an amazing 3 year warranty (as apposed to 1 year on most Bialetti models).
Aerobie Aeropress
Monday, August 15th, 2011We are now stocking the Aerobie AeroPress in our webshop. The coffee maker is £21.95 and the Micro-filters are £3.95 for a pack of 350.
What is the AeroPress
For me, the AeroPress has to be one of biggest breakthroughs in coffee making history since Achille Gaggia gave birth to the modern day espresso machine. I'm not the only one to think these coffee makers are great, a group of coffee professionals where so inspired that they started the World AeroPress Championship (WAC).

Translate this page Man sought in connection with trying to lure 9-year-old Fallbrook girl into carFriday, January 18th, 2013 Issue 03, Volume 17.
Sheriff's Lt. Todd Richardson, described the incident that took place at about 4 p.m. in the 300 block of Heald Lane. "Fallbrook deputies responded to the La Paloma Elementary School to investigate a report of a nine-year-old female student being asked to get into a stranger's car," said Richardson. "Deputies arrived on scene and spoke to the student." Richardson said the student "was standing in front of the school waiting for a family member to pick her up when a white truck driven by a white male adult stopped next to her." "The driver attempted to coax the young girl into his vehicle, while Advertisement Richardson said the parent helped the student into the principal's office and called the Sheriff's Department. "The student describes the suspect as a white man, heavy set, between 40 and 50 years old with redness on the skin in the neck and arm area," he said. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Fallbrook Sheriff's substation at (760) 451-3100. It is possible to remain anonymous and be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. 16 comments
This should be easy if it is true... Pretty Brazen to do it infront of other parents, students, and the school.Video????...If your the heavy set guy, described in this article, turn yourself in please.
Does this have anything to do with the helicopter(s) circling forever last night? Heard a few rounds of sirens as well. Hope they catch this guy. ***VILLAGE NEWS RESPONDS*** Read the story now online about the arrests relating to an armed robbery - helicopter was up for that also.
That's good that another parent was aware of what was happening. Hopefully that parent got the plate number or even a partial would help the Sheriff.
Catch this idiot quick, before someone tries to catch him themselves. What a shame, crimes in this area seem to flourish when the dust from another crime begins to settle. There are more idiots in this town than we care to admit. I hope that other parent was able to get a license number off of that truck. That little girl was taught the right way to handle this type of situation, good job to the parents of this little girl.
Did any parents at La Paloma receive notification? Usually I get nightly phone calls from the school regarding everything from upcoming holidays, and testing to PTA drives. I have not received a call about this incident. Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
Really bothered that VFN is the first time I have heard about this. The school didn't even address it with the kids today. Any other time La Paloma calls NIGHTLY to inform me of holidays, book fairs, PTA drives etc. I am really saddened that La Paloma didn't deem this worthy of a nightly call to parents or any kind of discussion with the students regarding campus safety.
Dude, your points are well taken. It isn't VN's job, but if this were a "real" crisis, there would have been more notification I believe. Maybe Law Enforcement knows more than they are leading on. Maybe the story "is yet another" story, that isn't jiving... If this is "true", I hope they find this guy, who probably isn't a resident of Fallbrook... In fact, I hope he turns himself in and saves whatever left of his dignity there is. But it was a busy time at the school and no one got license plate, only one parent helped the kid, etc... Lets just pray for the best....
La Paloma did sent letters with the student, my sister goes to that school and she brought a letter with this information.
La PALOMA school did actually send home today with the students/children a letter from their principal regarding this situation.
Check your child's backpack...my kids go to Mary Fay Pendleton and they brought home a letter stating what happened at La Paloma and to talk to our children about stranger safety.
So tired of all the losers who make Fallbrook a scary place to live. Looks like we have to lock up our children because it isn't safe. It seems like everyday there's more crime being committed. Wish the cops would just lock the losers away and throw away the key, but wait that's right they have rights too. So sick to my stomach already!
Thank God the little girl had the good sense to back away.
I agree with Joemamma, I am glad that the parents taught the little girl to back away from the vehicle. Anytime anyone is out and about, you need to always know your surroundings and what is going on around you. Walking around with tunnel-vision is not helping our little community. It is easy to get complacent, unfortunately these are no longer the times to be complacent, we need to be aware to protect our children and our neighborhood families. I also agree with Vet and Citizen, I think that law enforcement knows more than we do at this point, and I think this character will be caught, but we as a community need to stand up and make sure when he is, that he stays where he is longing to be, in prison. Too many of these law-breaking idiots are getting a slap on the hand, when they should be locked away like they want us to become. Pull together people and we can make some of these idiots stay behind bars, but we need to work collectively.
@ Enough Already and California Native, Its not Fallbrook it is the stance people have taken on crime. If you think this only happens in Fallbrook you need to open your eyes, it is a problem nation wide. Voters have made it clear they want a liberal judicial system. The revolving door of justice keeps these sexual predators on the street and living in everyone's neighborhood -- Just check the Megan's Law Web Site. Until the people vote to be tough on crime and are willing to pay the price to keep child molesters and sex offenders locked up, this kind of activity will only get worse. As far as Fallbrook goes, it is one of the most beautiful place in the world to live, so stop pointing the finger at a geographical location and blame the real problem, "We the People".
@preston - I have messaged before but my comment was not listed. You, sir, are a breath of fresh air, too many here comment on race (racismt) location (clasism) it is nice to see a logical person's comments
Thanks Grunt, I appreciate that.

Are you traveling alone? Of course!
If you could not coordinate with anyone to share your vacation. Take it as an opportunity! It may be the best excuse for a totally different journey.
Probably there will be people around to tell you that traveling alone can be dangerous, you feel sad and lonely, and it's always better to travel with someone else. Do not get discouraged! This could be the best trip of your life, completely safe, and fun at all times. If this is your first time traveling alone, will be a challenge.
Travel Advice only
Everyone has a personal style when it comes to travel, but there are some points that are important to take into account to avoid a bad shot. If you plan to travel alone, following our advice, nothing can go wrong:
Before the trip:
Anticipate feel alone: you probably spend a lot of time alone. If you're afraid of how you'll feel during this time, a good idea is to experience this kind of situation before leaving. In your city, make visits to museums, going to movies and the theater, lunch and dinner in restaurants, all alone except yourself. Records how you feel about these situations. And if you dare: A weekend getaway would be ideal. It's good exercise and will give you strength for what lies ahead …
Visit the doctor: A few weeks before your trip, make a visit to your medical doctor to confirm that your health is in perfect condition. Ask Medicare prescription drugs you need to carry. Nothing better to travel alone!
Look after your health: When traveling alone, you will be primarily responsible for your health. So keep up with the corresponding vaccines that may require your chosen destination. Investigate the typical diseases of the place you plan to visit, and location of medical centers around the perimeter of your property. It takes a good team kit with necessary supplies for any accidents that may occur in your itinerary.
Plan your trip: Imagine what kind of trip you have in mind. Which destinations would like to meet and what time accounts. The good thing about traveling alone is that you'll be quite flexible, and able to improvise on the fly. You can make the reservation of your accommodation for the first two nights, and once there thinking how to continue your tour. Perhaps you know interesting people going to a new destination and want to join them.
Choose your accommodation: If this is your first trip alone, may not be ideal to travel to drift. A good idea is to book your accommodation in advance, before leaving. And if you want to share your trip with others, can be a good option to stay in a hostel or youth hostel. You'll meet many people in the same condition as you, which is usually open to socializing. The dormitories, rooms with billiards, TV room, the kitchen, the bar and even the disco! Each of these environments seem to be specially designed to make new friends. This type of accommodation is ideal if you are traveling alone.
Choose your destination well: If it's your first trip alone, it is not advisable to visit a destination too extravagant, with a language and culture that you are completely alien. This could become an impediment to enjoy your trip. Maybe not the best choice to visit Middle Eastern or Asian countries. Use your common sense!: He thinks it's best to start small. First you feel safe traveling independently, you know how to drive, and nothing better to start living this destination experience where you feel comfortable. Time enough to keep traveling!
Travel informed: Get a travel guide and destination you'll visit Viajeros.com looking information. It will be more useful and you can enjoy the trip being informed. Strive to learn the basic factors of the culture of the country they visit. Learn also about the political and economic situation of the country. Carry a map and, if you do not know the language, a dictionary or a glossary of useful phrases. It is important to communicate in case you need it.
Hire a travel insurance: The best way to ensure health care in the country of destination is to hire international medical coverage to stay quiet. The telephone number to give you insurance may be the only way at your fingertips for immediate assistance. So remember to always have with you the contact number of the insurance company!

Other Pets at Friends of Lincoln County Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Eva, a Lincolnton Harrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Harrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Lincolnton, or seeking a Harrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Lincolnton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lincolnton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lincolnton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Harrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Harrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lincolnton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Help!!! I'm buying a house that has a large cutout in the living room wall Apparently the previous homeowners filled in the bedroom closet on the other side and made a cutout on the living room side to put in an "entertainment center." I know I'm going to rip out the ugly shelves. Should I sheetrock over it, or make it a nook and add built-in shelves? Any opinions would be appreciated since this is my first home and I'm really trying to fix it up. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Jen, I would need to see the layout of the room to offer an opinion on whether or not to focus the living room in this direction. What I think is best is for you to post this question with a diagram or more photos over on the Home Decorating Forum. Curiosity made me look at this forum, but clearly it gets little traffic. Repost on Home Decorating and I'm certain that you'll get some response. Good luck!! |
" Apparently the previous homeowners filled in the bedroom closet ..." It often no longer counts as a bedroom without a closet. |
- Posted by chinacat_sunflower (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 10:26
according to most building codes, a bedroom must have a closet...now, losing a bedroom isn't an issue if this is going to be your forever home, but if you're hoping to move in 10 years, putting the closet back the way it was is an option. that being said? I love built-ins, most homes need more useful spaces, and that's not a bad spot for one, whether it comes to hold books and art, or electronica. |
