I have a young everygreen wisteria thats about 2.5-3 ft tall. Right now its in a 12 inch pot but I was reading that it does better in the ground. Is this true? Should I consider putting it in the ground instead? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have not tried to grow one in a pot but the one I have in the ground has done great. Last summer (third year) it started blooming in mid summer and continued until frost. It even set 20 or so seed pods. It was in a 2 gallon pot when I planted it in the ground. The first couple of years it only had a scattering of blooms in the fall. Patsy |
Will probably need a much larger root space to develop fully and give desired display. Since wisterias (Genus Wisteria) can be pruned to remain small and still bloom heavily it might be possible to keep this one as a small specimen also, I don't know. But a 12 inch pot is probably still too small even using annual root and/or top pruning to control size. |

I have had three Evergreen wisterias growing up trellises for the past 19 years...they are BEAUTIFUL!!! I give them a good prune in the spring, and they come back in full glory with their deep purple blossoms from late June/July until frost. As the vines age, they do get thicker and I would say need more room. I have underplanted the vines with white star jasmine, so I don't really know how thick the wisteria root base is. I hope you love them as much as I have over the years!!! ~ Mary Jane |

Date 2009-09-07 Availability unrestricted Abstract One of the most common struggles of societies emerging from violent conflict is the struggle to re-invent or re-imagine the 'nation'. In the process, the critical question becomes: what to do with the traumatic knowledge of the past? Education policy becomes a crucial arena for asserting political visions for a new society and for signalling a clear break with the past - the history curriculum the means through which new collective memories and identities are both reflected and asserted.The purpose of this study is to understand how two African societies, Rwanda and South Africa, in transition from a traumatic past, re-invent or re-imagine themselves as they emerge from conflict. The particular focus is the intersection between the politics of memory and identity and education policy in the form of the history curriculum.
The construction of curricula in post-conflict societies is an under researched facet in the field of curriculum development and education policy. While there are studies on the curriculum of transition from socialist to post-socialist states or colonial to post-colonial regimes or routine changes of government in capitalist democracies there are very few studies which examine societies that have experienced the transitional trauma arising from internecine racial conflict that was culturally embedded at all levels as the focus of curriculum analysis – and how in such societies issues of memory and identity are both reflected and contested through what is taught.
The main research question for this study focuses on how post-conflict societies re-conceptualise/re-imagine themselves through the medium of the schools' curriculum. Ancillary questions include the ways in which memory and identity are constructed and to what purpose; how societies emerging from conflict deal with the traumatic knowledge of the past; and how curriculum reflects and asserts the new identities.
The research methodology included historical research; the analysis of key education policy documents; workshop observation and the analysis of evaluations and focussed responses; and group interviews. Being intimately involved in South African curriculum change, the theory of situated learning provided a valuable context for the analysis of the South African data.
The study breaks new ground in that it is the first comparative African case study research on how societies emerging from violent conflict engage with a traumatic past. Secondly, it is the first study to take the legacy of trauma after identity-based conflict into account. What have been underlined by this study are the complexities of educational change and the fragility of post-conflict societies. The deep inequalities which remain after the conflict has been settled need to be taken into account, but seldom are, in the construction of post-conflict education policy and in teacher development. Importantly, the study also raised questions about the extent to which identities formed within a conflict society, filter curriculum knowledge in post-conflict classrooms.
The main findings to emerge from the research are firstly, that the depth, direction and pace of curriculum change in post-conflict societies is conditioned by the terms that settled the conflict; secondly the nature of the emergent state and the character of regional or provincial politics sets limits as well as possibilities for curriculum change and implementation; and that in a post-conflict society, theories of change need to move beyond the formal curriculum to take into account the historical meanings of identity within the national context.

You don't walk out of Kentucky
February 24th, 2009Today's JS piece centers on Corey Hart, "Hart attacks stamina", honestly I'm surprised they didn't go with something like "Corey has the Hart to tackle stamina". In it Corey blames his September woes on stamina. Which makes sense, he's young and has never played that many games before. Honestly, I think there is more to it.
So with the Brewers down a run in the seventh inning and the bases loaded, up stepped Corey Hart, whose struggles in September already had been documented. But he had yet to produce anything as bad as what followed.
Michael Wuertz threw Hart three consecutive sliders, all below the knees, each one farther away from Hart than the first. The final one ended up in the left batter's box.
Hart flailed at all three, never coming close to touching one.
Yeah, that was awful. Sure, without that moment we wouldn't have had the greatest moment I have ever seen live (Braun's homerun) but it shouldn't of had to come to that. Let's look at Corey's thoughts on that at-bat now.
"I wasn't really praying to get on or praying to get a hit. At that point, I was just praying that it would be in the strike zone and I could put it in play. That's how bad it was."
To me this statement clearly states that when Corey steps up to the plate, he doesn't know what he's doing. He's just swinging. This is echoed by Dale Sveum.
"He has to turn (hitting) into an art form instead of going up there and winging it," Sveum said. "He's what I call a poor-man's Vladimir Guerrero because when it leaves the pitcher's hand, he has a chance to hit it."
Vladimir Guerrero is a freak of nature. He is not a role model for hitters. He can do things that nobody can do. I've seen him hit balls that bounced in front of the plate and take them for a double. Corey Hart can't do that and can't be Vlad. He needs to figure something else out because the pitchers have figured him out. They know he's going to swing as indicated by this study at BCB.
For a guy who spent a lot of time hitting behind Fielder and Braun he was way too willing to swing especially at pitches outside the zone. Swinging at 30% of fastballs outside the zone just isn't going to work. He needs to stop swinging at those and maybe he will get a few more hittable ones. I know Hart simply isn't going to ever walk enough but he has to stop swinging at balls out of the zone.
Blame it on stamina, personal problems or whatever you want, but Corey Hart is going to the plate with a bad approach. No approach and for all the talk about the loss of Sheets and Sabathia, a positive step forward by Hart could go a long way in making that up.

ijtihād, ( Arabic: "effort") in Islāmic law, the independent or original interpretation of problems not precisely covered by the Qurʾān, Ḥadīth (traditions concerning the Prophet's life and utterances), and ijmāʿ (scholarly consensus). In the early Muslim community every adequately qualified jurist had the right to exercise such original thinking, mainly raʾy (personal judgment) and qiyās (analogical reasoning), and those who did so were termed mujtahids. But with the crystallization of legal schools (madhabs) under the ʿAbbāsids (reigned 750–1258), the Sunnites (the majority branch of Islām) held at the end of the 3rd century ah that the "gates of ijtihād" were closed and that no scholar could ever qualify again as mujtahid. All subsequent generations of jurists were considered bound to taqlīd, the unquestioned acceptance of their great predecessors as authoritative and could, at most, issue legal opinions drawn from established precedents. The Shīʿites, the minority branch, never followed the Sunnites in this respect and still recognize their leading jurists as mujtahids, although in practice the Shīʿite law is little more flexible than that of the Sunnites. In Shīʿite Iran, the mujtahids act as guardians of the official doctrine, and in committee may veto any law that infringes on Islāmic ordinances.
Several prominent Sunnite scholars, such as Ibn Taymīah (1236–1328) and Jalāl ad-Dīn as-Suyūṭī (1445–1505), dared to declare themselves mujtahids. In the 19th and 20th centuries reformist movements clamored for the reinstatement of ijtihād as a means of freeing Islām from harmful innovations (bidʿahs) accrued through the centuries and as a reform tool capable of adapting Islām to the requirements of life in a modern world.

Valpo PD clerk sues city for age discrimination
By Teresa Auch Schultz firstname.lastname@example.com November 27, 2012 4:32PM
Updated: December 29, 2012 6:23AM
A former Valparaiso Police Department employee says in a federal lawsuit that she was told to retire or face losing her job.
Sonja Stansberry, born in 1939, said in her lawsuit, filed Nov. 21 in the U.S. District Court in Hammond, that the department discriminated against her by forcing the ultimatum on her.
Stansberry had worked for the department since 1977 as a records clerk and claims she was told several times this year by various employees she needed to retire.
Finally, Assistant Chief Richard Spicer gave her the ultimatum — retire in a month or lose her job — in June, although she asked him to reconsider.
She filed a discrimination charge shortly after, but she was then placed on suspension on July 5. Chief Michael Brickner then fired her 10 days later.
Dave Hollenbeck, attorney for the city, said he had not received a copy of the lawsuit yet and therefore couldn't comment.
Stansberry is asking for compensatory and punitive damages, along with legal fees.

California Declares State of Emergency Over Swine Flu
Gov. Schwarzenegger declares a state of emergency that will
allow federal funding to combat an outbreak of swine flu in
California, which could be the first state to link a fatality to
the virus.
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of
emergency Tuesday to respond to the swine flu outbreak after two
fatalities in Los Angeles were being investigated for possible
links to the virus.
The declaration is accompanied by a request for federal funds to
cover enactment of emergency "services, materials, personnel and
equipment to supplement extraordinary preventive measures being
taken across the state."
The declaration comes as President Obama requested that Congress
approve $1.5 billion in supplemental funds to "enhance
capability" to address the spread of the outbreak, including the
development of anti-viral stocks.
California's proclamation orders all state agencies and
departments to assist the Department of Public Health and the
State Emergency Plan as coordinated by the California Emergency
Management Agency.
In making the declaration, Schwarzenegger announced that the
state now joins the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
in conducting its own testing of virus samples obtained from
patients with symptoms resembling the swine flu.
Los Angeles Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey told the Los
Angeles Times that a hospital in Bellflower, Calif., reported
the death of a 33-year-old Long Beach man who was brought in
Saturday with symptoms resembling swine flu. The other death was
a 45-year-old La Mirada man who died April 22 at a Norwalk,
Calif., hospital.
California is the first state where a case of swine flu was
confirmed. The governor's office said state health officials are
working closely with the federal government and local health
partners to find measures to reduce the virus' spread and wider

Over the past 20 years, Arizona teachers, parents, and community leaders have created more than 500 charter schools—independent, tuition-free public schools that operate with fewer regulations in exchange for higher levels of transparency. Some of these schools are among the highest-achieving schools in the nation, with their students routinely topping nationwide comparisons.
With so many charter schools in operation, however, performance can vary from school to school. The variation has led researchers from Stanford and WestEd, along with the New York Times, to criticize Arizona charter schools.
But reports of a decline in Arizona charter school quality have been exaggerated. Key indicators suggest that charter schools remain a powerful tool for improving student achievement:
Both low-income Arizona charter school students and average charter school students outperform their traditional public school peers on a national assessment.
A higher percentage of charter schools earned A's on their school report cards than did traditional schools in 2011 and 2012, the first two years of Arizona's school report card system.
Charters represent a disproportionate number of the highest-performing public schools in Arizona.
Results such as these should encourage lawmakers to remove roadblocks that prevent charter schools from serving more students. For example, some districts have vacant or underused facilities that they refuse to make available to charter schools. Arizona School Facilities Board data show that in more than half of the traditional schools (54 percent) in the 10 largest Arizona school districts, at least 1 out of every 4 available seats is empty. Lawmakers should make sure vacant public school buildings are sold or leased to the highest bidder, charter school or otherwise.
Further, to prevent widespread stagnation among charter schools, lawmakers must be careful not to impose the same regulations on charters that they impose on traditional schools. These requirements create fewer choices for parents because charters will not be free to use innovative approaches to teaching and learning that are serving students so well today.
Arizona must hold charter schools accountable for student achievement and financial integrity. Charters that are consistently low performing or fail to meet certain achievement levels or manage finances properly can be closed. And with every charter school that is closed for academic reasons, the quality gap between charter schools and traditional schools will grow. Remaining charter schools will be more likely to perform at a higher level than similar traditional schools. Encouraging charters to innovate and serve students while holding them accountable for results will create an education environment that prepares students for success.

LOLBREWERS: Yovani's Big Day
Baseball April 30th, 2009
When you go to a baseball game at noon and then proceed to stay out til bar time, that's a long day. My thoughts of the game are this: Yovani is awesome and what the hell were the Pirates thinking having Snell throw 130 pitches (and why, oh why, did they try to steal with two outs and Braun at the plate while Snell is throwing his 129th, 130th and 131st pitches to Braun? Tired pitcher/best hitter. This isn't brain surgery.) I had fun making fun of the Pirates bullpen quite a bit and at one point told them "don't even wait for the call, just start throwing." Seriously, it's not like he was throwing a perfect game.
Anyways, Yo's awesome and that's all that matters.
Did anyone enjoy the live twittering of the game? It was a bit difficult and my friends were a little annoyed with me, but I thought it went off well. I get a lot of @replies, so that's cool. Let me know what you think and I might make it a regular thing when I go to games.
Also, today is the last today to Become a Fan of us on facebook and win two tickets to the 5/13 game against the Marlins. They are looking like they will be Field Outfield Reserve which have a face value of $38/ea. So we got that going for us. So, do it already. 125 people can't be wrong.
So here's the deal…
Miller Park April 29th, 2009
I am going to the game today so there won't be any updates. What there will be is drunken tweeting. It's all the fun of Miller Park Drunk without the spelling, grammar, capitalization and links with the added bonus of drunk texting. My ex-girlfriend hated it, but I'm sure you will LOVE IT. (Then again, I was sure she would love it too.) You can follow us or just check out this post right here as we've set it up to post live (I think). This could be awesome or it might suck, either way: it's free.
Trevor Time is now Beer:30
Baseball April 28th, 2009
Trevor Hoffman made his Milwaukee Brewers debut last night in a non-save situation thanks to a 5 run ninth inning. The debut was long awaited and much needed. When I went to the game on the last home stand there were already t-shirts on sale that said TREVOR TIME on them before he ever appeared in his first game. When you add in his bobblehead day it becomes clear that the Milwaukee brass wants the fans to embrace Trevor Hoffman. And why not? He is the closer with the most amount of saves in history. He deserves to be embraced.
I've had my doubts about Trevor Hoffman if only because I'm a baseball ageist and if Todd Coffey, Mitch Stetter and Mark DiFelice have proven anything this season it's that you don't need to spend millions on the bullpen. However after last night, his first appearance of the season, I think I am changing my stance on Trevor Hoffman. I like this guy. He reminds me of George Burns in 18 Again!.
Let's face it this is a young team and we need someone like him around. We need a guy who can tell the players what is what like in the world before democracy free agency. We need a guy who played through World War II AND the '94 strike. What better way to warn our young players about the swine flu than someone who lived through polio? Veteran leadership cannot be discounted and there is really no better man for the job than Trevor Hoffman* to provide that.
As long as you don't blow a lot of saves, I like you Trevor Hoffman. You're a-okay in my book.
(*=Unless, of course the Brewers sign Julio Franco.)
Chat transcript
Baseball April 28th, 2009
I have sources inside Miller Park. I don't like to brag about this, but I do. One of my sources tipped me off today about the Ryan Braun/John Hirschbeck conversation after Braun was hit squarely in the back yesterday. Here for your reading pleasure is inside access that you won't find anywhere else, the complete chat transcript between Ryan Braun, umpire John Hirschbeck and Ken Macha.
Hold me back, man. Hold me back. | |
Calm down take your base.
/warns both teams Relax. |
I ain't a killer but don't push me. | |
Okay, take your base. | |
Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussy. | |
Come on Ryan, just take the base. Let's not make this worse than it is. | |
My adversaries crumble when we rumble. It's a catastrophe. | |
Are you just quoting 2pac songs? | |
Bust him to see if he bleed, he shoulda never messed around with a sick-ass ninja like me. They call my name out and ninjas run. | |
Do you even have the uncensored version? | |
... | |
At least nobody spit in my face. |
Dear Ken Macha I've had enough of your aggression on the basepaths
Baseball, Beer April 27th, 2009
The Brewers lost yesterday and despite problems with FSN-WI, I watched just about the whole game with the score at 3-2 Astros. The Brewers seemingly had chances to come back every single inning after falling behind.
Top of the 5th: 2 LOB
Top of the 6th: 1 LOB
Top of the 7th: 3 LOB
Top of the 8th: 0 LOB
Top of the 9th: 1 LOB
The one inning in which they didn't leave any on base ended with Jason Kendall getting caught stealing. Yes, that Jason Kendall. Let me tell you what I know about Jason Kendall.
Jason Kendall specifically selected his at-bat song to scare little kids.
Jason Kendall has 170 steals in his career, but
Jason Kendall turns 35 in two months.
I am not one to pile on Jason Kendall. There are other blogs that do that, this is not one of them. I just don't expect much from the catcher position. He's a perfectly acceptable placeholder until Salome or whoever else is ready to take over. He knows the staff and plays good defense. Maybe Rivera should play a bit more, but overall he's fine. I will say this.
Ken Macha should know that the only way Jason Kendall steals that base is if Jason Kendall is the one trying to throw him out. That was a terrible, ridiculous idea. I understand that you don't like Jason Kendall, that doesn't mean that you can embarass the poor guy on television. Quit tweeting and lock it up.
Thus far this season the Brewers have 7 steals and have been caught 7 times. That is not a recipe for success. Jason Kendall trying to steal bases? RECIPE FOR TOTAL FAILURE.
So here's the new rule. You are not allowed to attempt to steal if you are a 35 year old white catcher or wear the #28. Everyone else? Green light. Consider me your coach of common sense.

Normally this is caused by a door problem. Release the opener and try operating the door manually. If you raise it 3 to 4 feet it should stay in that position. |

A salary raise makes everyone a little happier, a little more hopeful… Well, Jennifer Lawrence must be feeling 20 times gladder right about now.
The actress has received a hefty pay raise for her role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games' sequel, Catching Fire. So how hefty are we talking here?
Just remember to remain calm.
Lawrence was allotted $500,000 for the first HG instalment, plus bonuses. The actress is currently closing a deal for the sequel — somewhere around the $10 million mark. Oh yeah, you read that right.
A possible internal budget of an average Canadian town, or a whole life's worth of earnings for an average citizen — all in a single paycheque for Ms. Lawrence.
Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson are currently negotiating new contracts as well, but their salaries are in a pond compared to Lawrence's ocean. She's the lead, after all.
In other Jennifer Lawrence news, she is reportedly in talks for a new role in the drama Ends of the Earth, focusing on the affair between an oil baron and his adopted daughter. Freaky plot right there.
That is your fill of Katniss news... What do you think of the slight salary raise?

It reads: Action: Choose an enemy engaged with a player. Return that enemy to the staging area.
What happens if you play this card after step 3 of combat? The enemy is no longer engaged with the player. Does it still deal its combat damage? From the combat rules I assume so, but that still seems odd to me.

In a UK soccer match, Bury's Giles Coke was taken down by a Yeovil defenseman leading to a penalty kick. Bury captain Steven Schumacher prepared to take the kick, but Coke wanted to make the penalty kick himself. This led Coke and Schumaker to fight each other over who should take the kick, and the referee gave both players yellow cards.
In the end, Schumacher took the penalty kick and scored the goal. However, you have to wonder how this will impact the relationship between Schumacher and Coke down the road.

2012 Hall of Fame : David Harding - Small Start, Big Aspirations
October 2012 By Erik Cagle, Senior EditorWhat is the difference between a warning and a challenge? Apparently, it's only a matter of one's point of view.
Just ask David Harding. The president and CEO of HardingPoorman Group, a $34 million printer based in Indianapolis, cut his teeth in the industry as the owner of The Printing Co., a quick printing operation located in a strip mall. A small strip mall. In fact, his shop took up just 1,100 square feet of space. The desk accessories section of your local Staples franchise alone is probably bigger.
It was in this context that Harding received a bit of unsolicited advice from a customer: There is no way a small, quick printing business can put (outside) salespeople on the street and make any money, he was told. "It makes you think of a parent/child relationship, when one tells the other, 'you can't do that,' it motivates you even more to do it.
"We put salespeople on the street, made money, moved to a warehouse location and grew sales to $7.5 million a year," Harding adds. Call it the ironic Gipper speech.
That Harding has built a career based upon being up to the challenge of growing a successful printing business is reflected in his earlier induction to the NAPL Management Plus Hall of Fame. And, he defied the odds of being a successful owner not once, but twice, and can add a second distinction as a member of the 2012 Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame.
Although he sold The Printing Co. to industry consolidator Master Graphics and remained on board to run the firm another five years, Harding wanted to go in another direction. He and business partner Bob Poorman joined forces in 2003 to assemble a network of printing companies under one roof: SPG Graphics, Ropkey Graphics, Full Court Press, Miles Printing on Plastics, Discom Technologies and Education Connection Publishing.
"We vowed never to sell to an outside party again," Harding relates. "Our goal is to build a sustainable business, owned by key employees, that is still around long after we retire."
Harding has never been afraid to take up Plan B. Upon graduating from Indiana University/Purdue University-Indianapolis (IUPUI), he embarked upon a career in radio. Actually, Harding was quite an entrepreneur even before attending IUPUI; perhaps the influence of his father, who owned his own construction business, rubbed off on the younger Harding.
Entrepreneur at an Early Age
Between the ages of 12 and 16, he had a newspaper delivery route, another venture of hanging doorknob advertisements, and a third service that provided piped-in background music for restaurants and offices. The music—reel-to-reel tapes of recorded songs—would be piped in over phone lines.
"My mom would have to rewind the tapes and start them again while I was at school so the music didn't run out," Harding recalls.
Oddly enough, his first brush with printing came in seventh grade, when Harding took a class in vocational printing. But at age 16, Harding fell in love with radio. It started with his high school's radio station, where he did news and sports. His mother would often write notes so that Harding could miss school to cover press conferences and political events. He eventually hosted a talk show and worked for various stations throughout Indianapolis.
"I began to realize I wasn't going be able to make much of a career out of it," Harding says of his 12-year journey on the airwaves. "There's not a lot of money in it; they pay you with ego and the fact that you're on the radio. But, unless you're a jock like Howard Stern, it doesn't pay the bills."
Exiting radio did have its advantages. A close friend who owned a printing business—sensing Harding could cash in on his local celebrity status—hired him for the sales department. Eighteen months later, Harding put it on the line and bought his own printing company. He even sold his car on a trade-in deal to pick up $10,000 in cash for working capital, while the friend co-signed a loan for another $10,000.
"We would pay ourselves a little, but put most of the money in the business," he says of the early years. "My wife would come in and write the checks for us. She would note that we spent a lot of money on paper and we needed to cut back on it."
Harding laughs.
"I can remember living at the shop for a while, with all of my stuff in it," he admits. "Things were more loosey-goosey then. It was easy to get your vision across because you talked to everybody every day."
That ability to share his vision on the granular level was one benefit of operating a small, quick printing operation. While the shop turned into a success—$7.5 million in annual sales with a loyal core of dedicated employees—the process exacted a toll on Harding. A strong, intense fear of failure began to take hold of him, and he finally needed to seek out help.
"We were making good money, I'd just been elected to the NAPL Hall of Fame, everything was good. But, it almost paralyzed me," Harding relates. "I wasn't fun to be around. I wouldn't have any fun on the weekends. There were times I'd call my wife, crying, because I was so depressed at the time and afraid of failure."
Harding felt the time was right to sell, so he arranged a deal with Master Graphics that saw him remain on board to run the shop. After five years, he and Bob Poorman—who had also sold his business to Master Graphics—decided to take a different approach to assembling a new printing dynasty through mergers and acquisitions. Harding believes his company has constructed a better M&A mousetrap.
"We've gotten fairly good at it," he says. "Many times, there is a lack of communication to employees on both sides after an acquisition, so they have a lot of fear. We have an acronym for fear—false expectations that appear real. The more you communicate with them, the better.
"The second thing is, we make decisions fast. We move employees into our building right away and decide who we're going to keep very quickly. The quicker you do things, the better it is for staff members because it alleviates fear."
Not One to Micro-Manage
Nigel Worme, CEO and managing director of COT Holdings, has known Harding for more than 10 years through the NAPL and a peer group. To know David Harding, he says, is to know the HardingPoorman Group.
"Dave is a strategist extraordinaire," Worme relates. "When asked what his role is or what he does on a daily basis, his response is simply, 'nothing at all.' Never have I seen the theory of hiring the right people, training them well, expect the world of them, and then get out of their way and let them do their job put into practice better than as I have seen at HardingPoorman.
"Along with partners Bob Poorman and Steve Anzalone, Dave heads a team that provides some of the best leadership that our industry has ever known," he adds. "They put their people first and reward them handsomely, and they take exceptional care of their customers."
Harding is proud of the fact that he has staff members in place that keep the business humming along, leaving him to ponder big-picture initiatives. "Because we've hired the 'best of the best' and mentored our managers to run their departments like a business, I get to spend most of my time mentoring and dreaming about the future of the business," he says. "I love the visionary aspect."
Bill Caskey, owner of Caskey Achievement Strategies, which provides sales training to HardingPoorman Group, testifies to Harding's quest for knowledge. "While most entrepreneurs have the feeling they 'know it all,' David has never, ever held that belief," Caskey says. "As a consultant who has worked with David and his team for many years, I can attest to the fact that he has built his business on continuous learning and self-improvement.
"David has a knack for seeing the vision and, at the same time, being very aware of his current reality. His head is in the stars, but his feet firmly planted in reality. That's a rare gift that he has turned into massive success."
Away from the office, Harding takes pleasure in golf, Morgan horses and playing cards. He met fiancée Diana through the Morgan horse circuit (Diana and their respective daughters have captured world championships). They collectively own four show horses. Coincidentally, Harding has a 22-year-old son (Andrew) and a 20-year-old daughter (Allison), as does Diana. PI

on April 5, 2012Every time I write about this country's strange infatuation with its shootin' 'arns, I get at least one response from someone claiming to represent the thousands/millions of "responsible gun-owners" who never would think, say, of popping some black kid for the crime of carrying snack food in a neighborhood where your fears tell you the kid doesn't belong. Okay, fine. I even buy that. But when are the "responsible gun-owners" in the NRA going rise up as one and point out that the public face of their national organization is a lunatic?
"Sotomayor, Kagan, Fast & Furious, the United Nations, executive orders. Those are the facts we face today... President Obama and his cohorts, yeah, they're going to deny their conspiracy to fool gun owners. Some in the liberal media, they are already probably blogging about it. But we don't care because the lying, conniving Obama crowd can kiss our Constitution!"
And who stole the damn strawberries, anyway?
This is a great big old plate of paranoid crackers, bananas, and nuts. There is no case in which either Justice Sotomayor or Justice Kagan can rule. The UN is not coming for your guns, either. Whatever its original intent, wasn't the whole problem with Fast And Furious that too many people got guns? Shouldn't the NRA be celebrating the free market implications of that? And executive orders? What? No FEMA camps?
Look, Nutsy Fagin. Your side won. Gun control is as dead in this country as James Garfield. Out in the states, your side is running wild, passing laws that are working very quickly toward the day when everybody can carry a gun anywhere they want, and can pretty much discharge it on a whim. Presidents get approximately three months to govern in a second term before everybody starts running for president again and decides, en masse, to ignore the incumbent.

Love this color! I've worn it with Shopping spree which looks gorgeous & also w/well being and they both looked great. It's a pigmented shimmer which is hard to find, but not so pigmented that it's hard to blend. I hope they make this a permanent color.
I received this LE shade as a bonus in a recent order and I'm glad I did! It is an antique gold, as the web site describes, but I was pleasantly surprised at how neutral and wearable it is. It showed up on my skin as a slightly taupe-ish gold - difficult to describe, just pretty. Almost like a golder version of some of the taupe MAC pigments I've come to love (eg, Coco, Subtle). I brushed it lightly all over my lower lid, lined with Smokey eye liner, and it looked fantastic. The staying power was excellent and I did not notice any creasing by the end of the day. So nice when the gift with purchase turns out to be a great find, and this will last me forever. Well done, EM.

I really enjoy this loose eyeshadow, it goes on very smoothly and blends like a dream. You can apply it dry or wet, which changes the richness of the color. I was pleasantly surprise when it came with my ED purchase.
I recieved Tinsel Time & Ginger Bread Man eyeshadow as a free gift with my last EM purchase. I love EM, but these colors are not for me. Kind of makes me wonder why they were giving them away...? :)
They look like the same color when I wear them even though one looks golden light brown in the jar and the other looks green. Too much sparkle, too orangy/gold and too light. If I bought them I would've returned them. I just don't have the heart to throw them away yet...
I got this free with my last purchase, and I really like it. It's a rather pale gold on me, which looks lovely with my fair skin and blue eyes. I hope they put it out for sale, because if I ever run out I want to be able to buy it again.
I got this color free in my last order over 30 dollars. I was really optimistic about it, but unfortunately it looks awful on my pale skin. It doesn't look gold on me, more of a dark, puddy grey. Will not buy this again. It probably would look better on someone with a darker base.
This was one of the special shadows for the holidays. It is described as an antique gold and I would say that's very accurate. I'm a fan of gold shadows and this is one of the best I've seen, such a pretty pearly shade!

- South Wales
South Wales is a region rich in natural resources. Beautiful valleys which once saw the growth of some of Britain's greatest industries, offer visitors magnificent scenery and glimpses of the past. Much of the outstanding natural beauty of the area remains untouched. It is a land of contrasts, mountains and moorlands, forest and farmland and magnificent stretches of unspoilt coastline. The National Trust's interests in South Wales include large areas of the Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire and Gower, as well as the Dolaucothi Gold Mines, spectacular Aberdulais Falls and the Tudor Merchant's House in Tenby.

Watching otters playing
Stackpole is just a very special place. Watching 2 otters playing and fishing in the lake. The lily pads. Pristine tranquil beaches of Barafundal and Broadhaven and I Iove the pebble beach behind Byre cottages, the sound of the waves breaking against the rocks and the views of the multi-coloured cliffs along the coast. Spotting choughs on cliff walks. Bridget in the learning centre was always very helpful with advice about places of interest to visit and was knowledgable about the Stackpole estate. Jim who led the the otter walk was friendly and knowledgeable. One of the cleaning ladies found a key we dropped outside our cottage and returned it to us.

Beautiful walks
The staff at Stackpole centre were very helpful, and we had a fab time 'spottering' with Jim Bebbington on the early morning otter watching walk. We were having our own, 'Springwatch', seeing otters, a fox, herons,bats, lots of birds, and to my son's absolute delight a badger cub who ran across our path on the last evening that we were there! I really felt that we grew as a family during our week.The walks are beautiful! Please tell the staff that they are doing a great job. We will be back!

Flashes, Four
Text and bodies. For the past four weeks you and I were only ever text and bodies. In terms of hours we have been 'together' in spaces of text more than we have occupied real space. The times we saw each other we hardly ever spoke. Our bodies did more talking. What speech there was was ephemeral, fanciful, flirtatious, dreaming. We reserved the serious talk in text. Last night we broke this pattern. Last night I saw your face, heard your voice, felt your arms around me as you reassured and comforted, as I asked. You recounted looking at my Facebook profile, the public one, as I had unfriended you a second time. It tells me I wasn't the only one futilely searching for you when we, like scared children, imagined we still had a chance to run for the opposite direction. You told me you read a comment on one of my profile pictures, the one of me as a six year old with my little brother and mom. One of my girl friends said something like, even then you were pretty. I replied that no one had ever called me pretty. You said you felt bad for me, for the little girl in me and wanted to call me then. I seem to have given you the impression that I am this helpless, vulnerable woman child. You have never seen me otherwise and I tell you that with you I can let my guard down. I don't have to be the warrior that I usually am. At past midnight I clean up in the toilet as you prepare to leave. I didn't see the note you scribbled on one of my scratch papers on the desk. Like last time, when you wrote verses of poetry, you chose the purple pen. I would see the note after seeing you off. "No need to worry at all" and a goofy smiley face. My heart is full.

This is to all my new gardener friends. I'll be at Demonyes at 8:30. I'll be the lady with the pink gardening gloves on and a fanny pack. Would love to say hello to a gardenwebber.
I realize I just joined but feel like I've been here forever. I've been a lurker for about three years now. I've been afraid to join for fear of becoming addicted to posting..and my work wouldn't be to happy. (((back to work)))) :-) Diana |
Follow-Up Postings:
Welcome Diana! Lurked for 3 years? My my. Have you ever wondered if you ever saw other GWers at Garden Events in your area? I read you mem page. I retired about 8 years ago, and now am busier than ever. I'm afraid to say that I became addicted to GW soon after I joined. My first found addiction after joining was an interest in growing a variety of tomatoes in my garden. I've always grown tomatoes, and canned for years, but didn't know that there are maybe 10,000 different varieties. I know have a collection of about 250 different ones and soon need to narrow the field on what I need to Winter Sow soon. I was up until the wee hours of the morning researching tomatoes, for weeks on end initially. Do you Winter Sow?...another wonderful addiction I hear. Then there are the Exchange Forums here...another wonderful addiction...lol Seed and Plant trading...watch out! Way too much fun to ever stop oneself. There are several free seeds for postage (sase or sasbe-self addressed stamped bubble envelope) offers at the Seed Exchange, and at Winter Sowing. If you trade or use a lot of the boards, you might want to change your email settings (Go to Member Pages link at the very bottom of any page here and follow the links). It is best to set them to show email to Members only, and allow others to email you via the forms at GW. There is no email link or way to email you as your page is now. I hope you will be a regular here. Once again...Welcome...glad to see you finally made it here. Sue |

My husband and I are going to go but probably not until afternoon. There is a local nursery down the street from us in Powell, Fortmeyers and Sons and they too are having a really cheap perennial sale tomorrow. So we're going to hit them both up. Fortmeyers has a limit on how many you cana buy. Do you know if DeMonyes has a limit? Lyn |
I don't think so; plenty of people this morning were loading up their shopping carts and hand carts. |

Well we made it out alive and bought about 100 more plants than we had planned. It was our first time but well worth the trip. What a great sale. I'm so glad I happened to have today off...that never happens. I imagine its going to be a mad house tomorrow. |

Well I went to the sale Friday and left with 5 flats. Two were for other people. Knowing that I really didn't need the three I bought I went back Sunday and bought another flat. ((Hi..I'm a flower addict)) Sunday there were only a few people there. They had so much left. I did ask if they were going to honor the price after Sunday and was told more than likely they will. Also, Sue you mentioned winter sowing, yep..this is my first year trying it. I looked at my member page and noticed that my favorites sites are changed. Humm...wonder what happened..It should have said winter sowing and Ohio Valley forum. Will post later..have a great day everyone. |

24 years.
That's how long it took me to get my shit together, health-wise. I'm still working on the other parts of my life but I feel like I've finally got my health under control.
I've always been a chubby kid, even in high school when I was a star lacrosse player, I was never really a great athlete. But I was active enough that I could get by with eating complete garbage every day.
I look at my photos from my junior and senior year in high school and you can tell I gained about 10-15lbs. Once I hit college and stopped playing sports I really took off. I went from being 5'8″ and 190lbs, steadily climbing until I just recently hit my highest weight ever of 270.
As with most gradual changes, I never really noticed it. I knew I was getting bigger and buying bigger clothes, but hell, there was nothing I could do.
I got serious about my health two years ago and started…

I'm sad to say that after eight months of running Energy Source, I'm moving onto pastures new, to take up a position in Westminster as political correspondent. You can continue to read my posts (some may even be energy-related) in the FT and on the Westminster blog.
From Tuesday, May 31, Energy Source will be run by the FT's energy team, led by Sylvia Pfeifer (there will be no headlines or post on Monday 30th because of public holidays in the US and UK). Please keep emailing firstname.lastname@example.com with your great ideas and comments.
Many thanks to all our readers, especially anyone who has contributed in any way to our coverage and comments.

I'm just going to put it out there: Zach Galifianakis is the man of my dreams. He's chivalrous, hilarious, aerodynamic, beautifully bearded, and friends with Tim and Eric — what more could I want in a life mate? Despite how well Zach and I obviously know each other, I never would have suspected that this is what he looked like in high school. So handsome! [Crushable]

The Dunn County Health Care Center follows a tradition of "Generations of Caring since 1892." Currently, we are in the process of construction of newly designed neighborhood facilities to replace the existing facility, built in 1972. We were excited to break ground in May of 2012 and anticipate relocating to our new facilities just west of the existing building by August 1, 2013! The new facilities will be much more home-like and less institutional with living rooms, kitchens, dens, porches, patios, private bathrooms in each private room, etc. We are excited about this great opportunity for Dunn County.
Presently, the Health Care Center has all private rooms – something not found in many communities.
Our Memory Care Unit for Alzheimer's and other dementia is 15-beds, small, quiet and remodeled in 1998 specifically for this purpose. With specially trained staff, indoor and outdoor walking paths and therapeutic activities within a secure setting, this service can benefit qualified residents appropriate for this Special Care unit.
Our arrangement with the local hospital provides daily physician rounds of residents Mondays through Fridays and 24/7 on-call services.
The Health Care Center works with all types of payment sources, Medicaid, Medicare, Veteran's Administration, Hospice, Medicare Advantage Plans, Wisconsin Family Care, Workman's Compensation, private insurance and private-pay individuals.
Amenities provided include restaurant style dining, low-cost in-house satellite TV services, telephone services, barber/beautician services, weekly visits to the Senior Center, live entertainment on Friday afternoons, church/worship services and free-transportation from the referring hospital or other facility.
The Health Care Center has teamed-up with Sundance Therapy services for all your physical, speech or occupational therapy needs in a spacious, comfortable therapy gym. Many folks come to the facility for rehabilitation and return home.
