I had two 12" pots on the front porch that needed to be filled, so I went to one of the local big boxes to find something showy, and noticed they had hydrangeas (cringed to see one of the signs spelled it "hidrangea"). No indication of what type, just "pink." Came back with a couple of gorgeous, obviously forced blooming beauties. I'll see if I can get them to grow somewhere in the ground, too. The stems (which are green and not woody yet) seem really sturdy, and the blooms are 9" easy.
Anyone care to take a stab at the variety? |

With florist's hydrangeas, the cultivar is anyone's guess. Few, if any, are sold as a specific cultivar....you can ony be assured that these are not a patented form, as those must be clearly labeled and a royalty paid for growing. With different fertilization and watering, these could just as likely be 'blue' hydrangeas :-) My philosophy is just enjoy 'em and forget about assigning a name.....how important is it anyway unless you are looking for a specific variety? As these have been rasied in a greenhouse and forced into bloom (well out of season), it is still much too early to plant outside. |
Only interested in the cultivar to get an idea of how much sun to stick them in, for the ground :) I have the whole spectrum of shade levels available around the yard, hah. And yeah, these could very well be blue hydrangeas in disguise! I am definitely enjoying them :) |
Hi. Great hidrangea ; ) Not sure of the cultivar; but I do know it does require partial shade from the hot afternoon sun, especially in Houston. I would give it am sun and then protect in the afternoon from 12pm on. Right now the weather is nice so full sun probably wouldn't hurt it, but come summertime - that beauty will be sun burned if given to much sun. Also, gardengal is correct - it is still to early to plant outside. If you can place it in a room where it gets indirect sunlight, keep it watered and transplant around the middle of March or first part of April. It should do well. It may not bloom next season, as the hothouse plants tend not to do so after being transplanted. Good luck! |
Howdy msalcido! How are your masjas looking? I kept mine indoors this whole winter under a grow light, and moved them outside last weekend. The leaves are turning fall colors now and new growth is coming up as well. All but one are flourishing for me. Can't wait to get them in the ground, just not entirely sure where yet. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 11 at 15:01
It really doesn't matter with the cultivar - all bigleaf hydrangeas would be happiest in all day dappled or filtered shade or at the very least, afternoon shade. Even in my very northerly and quite mild summer climate, H. macrophylla is just not very happy in full or afternoon sun. |

Thanks Jim,
I know the C25 is a very capable boat, and I have been to the site and downloaded the self appraisal information. What I would really like is the performance and reliability of a fin keel with the trailerability of a swing keel. The wing keel era boats are out of my price range. I would love to do some racing on my boat but any boat in my price range would not be race ready. I will have to stick with abusing OPBs.
I do not intend this boat to be a trailer sailor, it will live in a marina. Besides as a second home in town here and a daysailor and weekender, I would love to be able to be able to put the miles in you do and take a few trips like you describe on the coast, Baja, Lake Mead. That's why a trailer is important. A swing keel would open up my launching options but limit my performance. I am also leary of the stability of a swing keel design compared to a fixed keel, even though there are no s/k C25s nearby. That is why the E25s are being considered.
Funny story thought I have been searching for PHRF information on these boats and have not been able to find a location with both boats to get a good comparison. But just found a thread just now, in which you had contributed on the C25 site with this link.
Very good information. I see the PHRF on all configurations of these boats to be within about 10 PHRF points of each other, so that is less of a consideration than I had estimated it would be.
One thing the C25 has going for it though is space. Room for 2 in the v-berth and aft berth, and larger cockpit, all of which is nice for entertaining and sharing a cruise with friends. It may be tight but can't imagine many other 25 footers that could be more comfortable for 2 couples for the weekend. I met a family of 5 that spends every weekend on theirs in the Great Salt Lake.

As the title says, I ordered a projector on June 26th and the projector has changed status from "shipping now" to "shipped". I've sent two emails in the last two weeks to customer support but they responded with please be patient and wait a few days for the status to change, and then did not respond to any of my follow up emails asking for an explanation. My experience so far with Woot has been that they are pretty good about getting orders out quickly, but the lack of a response with an explanation from customer service has left me a little frustrated. Has anyone had issues with orders taking a longer time than usual to ship in the past few weeks? The product was the "BenQ 3000Lm WXGA Ultra Short-Throw DLP Projector" if anyone was wondering.

Okay I'm putting aside my annoyance for this game being delayed for half a year. Okay. There. It's over there, I'm over here. I will not get this game because it is a bad game. Period. I do not willingly purchase bad game unless they are dirt cheap and/or have a particular quality, game play or story, that I really want to experience no matter what.
I've seen the story of W_D and no. I will not spend money on that. I've seen the game play and it is not what I was promised or what I hoped for. I've read reviews of many talking about how clunky this or that in the game was, and seen videos proving the flaws and problems in the game.
I don't think we should just support third party just to support it, nor do I think we should boycott it when it's late because that's not going to help much either. What needs to be done is we buy games we feel that are worth a damn. We spend our money on quality products and make it known that that is the reason why we didn't buy this or that third party exclusive. Not because it wasn't Nintendo, but because it's crap. And we should speak out louder and loudest about that reason because that is the real reason any gamer plays games, to have fun. If it's not fun, we don't buy it. Maybe if they started seriously gearing their games to Nintendo fans, they'd sell more. Rather than make excuses and show numbers with just their explanations of why things didn't work. What kind of nonsense is it someone tells you why you buy or do something, or what you buy and do? Don't you know why you do or buy what you do? Shouldn't you be the one telling them that?

Texas teens fall from carnival ride after door opens
POSTED: Monday, September 1, 2014 - 12:43pm
UPDATED: Monday, September 1, 2014 - 12:43pm
El Paso, Texas (KTSM) — UPDATE: 11:40 a.m. Monday 9/1 - El Paso Police say the door to the "Sidewinder" ride at the St. Anthony's Bazaar opened while the ride was in motion, flinging the teens from their seats Sunday night.
Police say the incident happened at 10:09 Sunday night, at the Saint Anthony's Bazaar, at the Church's east-central location along the 4600 block of Hastings. Both teens were transported to University Medical Center for treatment of their injuries, which are now described as 'not life threatening.'
According to EPPD officials, the department's Crimes Against Children Unit was sent to the scene to assist in the investigation. They add that no charges have been filed and the is still under investigation.
PREVIOUS STORY: Sunday 8/31 - Two teenagers were rushed to University Medical Center in serious condition, that according to emergency dispatchers, who said they fell more than 12 feet from a ride at Saint Anthony's Bazaar on Sunday night.
It happened shortly past 10 p.m. We're told one of the teens suffered serious injuries while the other had minor injuries.
Dispatchers said firefighters also requested a ladder to rescue somebody stranded on the ride.
Witnesses told us that the ride operator failed to shut the ride's door and that people were screaming for him to close it however that is unconfirmed at this time and the cause of the accident is under investigation.
El Paso Police's Crimes Again Children Unit is now handling the investigation.
Check for updates on the KTSM website.

Of course, for all the discussion of pure style in the automobile, there must be function, too. The first time you take the Eclipse GT onto the highway, it's clear this is a sound piece, less flimsy than before though not exactly carved from a billet of steel. There's a broad field of view through the windshield, and the upright sides of the cabin make the cockpit feel more spacious than the interior passenger volume of 81.6 cubic feet would suggest. On the road, the Eclipse's suspension is very well damped, and it doesn't pound the bump stops over rural potholes or freeway expansion joints.
That's because the Eclipse is really a big car beneath the small-car skin. The platform of the Galant lies under the sheetmetal, and Mitsubishi's 263-hp, 3.8-liter V-6 is doing business through the front tires. Nevertheless, the Eclipse still feels small in several annoying ways, such as when you discover there's no rear three-quarter vision at all or when you try to clamber into the rear seat.
Like the Eclipse, the Mustang is a big car at heart, and it's terrific on the highway. The driving position offers a great view through the upright windshield, and the 1960s-style interior trim transforms cheap plastic into a style statement. Overall, the Mustang feels tight and modern on the road, although there's a very retro-style slack spot in the steering's on-center calibration.
We're also prepared to say that a V-6 with an automatic transmission in the Mustang is no bad thing. The tingle of the 210-hp, 4.0-liter, SOHC V-6 recalls a tightly wound small-block V-8, as does its sharp bark through the exhaust, and the optional five-speed automatic proves very responsive. Meanwhile, the use of 65-series tires helps the Mustang's solid-axle suspension deliver excellent ride quality.
The Acura RSX Type-S has all the rightness of a small car from Honda, and you can feel it as soon as you're behind the wheel. In fact, the RSX feels even smaller than it looks, although a hatchback gives the car an extra dimension of utility. The interior is very well done in the modern style, while the cockpit controls are artfully formatted to make the driving experience as intuitive as possible.
For all that, however, the RSX is simply too intense to drive slowly. The 2.0-liter engine has to climb to 7800 rpm to deliver all the goodness of its 210 hp, and while this is not bad in theory, the unmusical thrashing beneath the hood isn't inspiring, even though new acoustic insulation takes the edge off the unpleasantness. The Type-S rides well on smooth pavement, but the bumps will send unhappy jolts through the stiffly sprung, short-travel suspension.
The same could once be said of the Mini Cooper S, largely because the stiff sidewalls of its run-flat tires made the car hop down the freeway on its short-travel suspension. Yet now the 195/55VR-16 Dunlop SP Sport 5000 DSST tires are far more comfortable in everyday driving than we remember from before. Meanwhile, the cabin of the Mini continues to have the cleverness of a European kitchen, a miracle of design in which everything looks terrific, has six functions, and fits together like a puzzle.

Democratic candidates for City Council seats in Southeast Queens all annihilated their competition on Tuesday night.
Incumbent Councilman Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica), running for a second full term in a 28th District redrawn after the 2010 Federal Census, won more than 95.3 percent of the vote against Mireille Leroy of the Unity Party.
Councilman Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton), who was facing two opponents in the 31st District, including Republican Scherie Murray, garnered 92.2 percent of the vote.
Richards had won a special election in February to fill the vacancy created after former Councilman James Sanders Jr. was sworn in as a state senator.
Richards was Sanders' chief of staff, and Murray campaigned on a platform of Richards being a continuation of policies that provided no change under Sanders.
She received 5.1 percent of the vote, with Jobs & Education candidate Ricardo Brown getting just under 2.7 percent.
Brown was one of a handful of Democrats whom Richards dispatched in the district primary back in September.
In the 27th District, transit union president Daneek Miller tallied nearly 97 percent of the vote against Sondra Peeden.
Miller will take the place of Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans), who is being forced out of the Council by term limits. Comrie personally approached Miller early in the process and appealed to him to run.
Like Richards, Miller defeated a broad field of candidates in a Democratic primary, including Peeden and Manuel Caughman.
Caughman, an aide to state Assemblyman Bill Scarborough (D-Jamaica), is a longtime party stalwart who ran in the primary with the endorsement of the Queens Democratic Party.

Well guys, we're wrapping things up this month. Remember that we've moved Paul up to March...although if you'd rather mail his package in April, I'm sure he won't mind getting boxes in two months rather than one! :)
Remember that under the terms of the robin, you should reciprocate with a box to any player who previously sent a box to you. So if you received a box from ggsnail, you should return the favor. And I know that Paul has been an outstanding robin member, so let's wind up this robin with a great showing for pchanggeo! Be sure to post delivery confirmation #s, etc., here when you send your box out, so Paul knows when to be on the lookout for exciting mail. If anyone needs info/addy for a player resent, let me know. And then remind me a thousand times...midterm is coming up next week, which means all kinds of exams to write and grade, and grade rosters to get turned in. So I'm likely to forget if not reminded. Spring break cannot get here soon enough for me! Although it's never all that spring-y here in Illinois in mid-March. Speaking of which: Paul, I'll no doubt be running late for your month, as well. But this time my official excuse is that I'm waiting to see if plants start to show up here in the midwest so I can send you something green! :) |

Thoughts for Thursday, June 19, 2014
Spinella Farm -
Thursday June 19, 2014 - By Edward
Dad and Anna were off this morning to Margate to open up the tail gate market there. It was threatening rain which we had gotten some of earlier in the day. But I think it will hold off for the morning which will help them. Margate can be very busy. The first...

Beck - Red Rocks - August 15, 2014
You might have thought that Beck's Red Rocks set would be a slowpoke, folksy affair akin to his latest studio album, Morning Phase. Nope. The night was a twenty-plus year retrospective, covering everything from 1994 mega-hit "Loser" to his recent foray into Nick Drake territory.Jason Stoff for the Riverfront Times. Full slideshow here. Beck plays earlier this summer in St. Louis.
Beck and company went big from the beginning, playing like an army of coked-up monkeys just released from their cages. "Devil's Haircut" was first on the agenda, followed by "Black Tambourine." A couple songs later came "Loser," by which time the sold-out crowd was about to lose its goddamned collective mind. This was the first time Beck has played Red Rocks in over a decade.
Beck, flanked by the same six musicians who played on 2002's Sea Change, danced effortlessly across the stage, doing some Napoleon Dynamite-esque shimmying while the band played on. Being the cool motherfucker that he is, Beck never seemed to lose his own composure. Not a bit: he looked like he'd planned every note and every move in the mirror before stepping on stage.
There were projected images of volcano-type things and digital stopwatches on the massive backdrop screen. During "Where It's At," he brought out a two-foot-high robot (outfitted with a theremin). There were strobe lights capable of causing mass seizures.
To explain the ecstasy and utter weirdness of Friday night's Red Rocks gig, can we for a moment recall Beck Hansen's background? This is a man whose mother once played with Jack Kerouac's daughter in a band called The Whippets. He once had an entire orchestra, marching band drummers and a gospel choir back him for a live performance of David Bowie's "Sound and Vision." He's a Scientologist, too, so... there's that fun factoid.

"RHIIP may have the potential to achieve even higher bioavailability through further improvements in the insulin delivery technique, and this will be the subject of further studies."

Hi I am a new Chowhound who has been living in Lansing/East Lansing for 6 years now. I can't seem to find any good Polish places or markets that might have pierogi, kielbasa, or city chicken to hold me over until I can go home to Detroit and visit my Polish grandma and get homemade. Any help? Thanks!

A Campbellsville man has been arrested and charged with unlawful imprisonment after he allegedly held a 14-year-old juvenile at his home.
According to a report filed by Taylor County Sheriff's Deputy Lawrence Walsh, Cody J. Welch, 25, of 11866 Hodgenville Road was arrested at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 2.
The report states Welch was arrested as the result of a missing juvenile report.
On Friday, Walsh said Welch had taken the juvenile for a ride on a three-wheeler and the juvenile was injured after the two crashed.
Following a weeklong House/Senate conference, the General Assembly passed a $19 billion state budget Wednesday, which lawmakers say will suffice in times of belt-tightening.
"We went into this session with a lot of anxiety over declining revenue," Senator Dan Kelly, R-Springfield said. "It looks like we presented a budget that will keep things going for the next two years."
Though he wasn't pleased with the process, Rep. Russ Mobley, R-Campbellsville, said it did produce a decent spending plan.
To some, they might be just blue ribbons hanging on trees. To others, they mean so much more.
Local social services workers hung 228 blue ribbons on trees near the Miller Park gazebo Wednesday morning in recognition of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
The ribbons stand for children in Taylor County who suffered some form of child abuse in 2005 and 2006.
Campbellsville University fought back from deficits of 4-0 and 5-1 to down Union College 9-6 on Wednesday in Barbourville.
The Tigers (13-11) used two-run rallies in the sixth and seventh innings to tie the score at 6-6 before tallying three runs in the top of the ninth in the single game.
Temple Macdonald and Brandon Hunter paced the CU attack with three hits apiece while Chris Curley and Logan Smith had two safeties each.
A Campbellsville man has been arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault and terroristic threatening after he allegedly pulled a gun on two people.
Ronald Shaw, 48, of 109 1/2 W. Walnut St. was arrested Tuesday, April 1 at 3 p.m.
According to Shaw's arrest warrant, he is accused of throwing a vodka bottle at another person, cutting the person, and pulling a gun on two people.
Bond was set at 10 percent of $5,000. Shaw was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victims.
He is scheduled to appear in Taylor District Court Monday, April 21.
The Campbellsville man shot by police after allegedly firing a handgun at them has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.
Adam D. Powell, 22, was arrested by Kentucky State Police officers Wednesday and charged with criminal attempt to commit murder and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
Powell remains hospitalized in fair condition at University of Louisville Hospital.
Powell was shot in an altercation with Campbellsville Police officers at his Woodlawn Avenue home on Saturday, March 29.
Ever since Satan took the form of a snake and tempted Adam and Eve, there has been a mystery associated with reptiles.
Not since we published a story last week about a man charged with transporting "poisonous" snakes without a permit did we realize how some of what we do so affects our readers.
Write a story about a child being abused (and this is Child Abuse Awareness Month) and you might never hear a peep. Write a story about someone transporting snakes and you're getting advice all day.
That's what makes the news business so interesting and frustrating at times.
Small Claims Filed
08-S-025, filed 3/27/08; James and Mary Sexton of Leatherwood Church Road in Edmonton v. C. Alex Montgomery Inc. of Meader Street in Campbellsville. Plaintiff alleges defendant owes for money paid for insurance policy, $1,300 and $91 in court costs.
Small Claims Settled
06-S-121, filed 11/22/06; Cash Express of East Broadway in Campbellsville v. Teresa Coulter of Tharp Drive in Campbellsville. Plaintiff alleged defendant owed on loan, $488.75 and court costs. On 3/28/08 the case was dismissed for lack of prosecution.
We have a computer-generated sign on our conference room door that reads "Innovation Station." But an idea I read about from another newspaper may be THE most innovative idea that I've come across.
In the April issue of Publishers' Auxiliary, a newspaper trade publication, Jim Pumarlo talks about a Minnesota (Tubby Smith territory) newspaper publisher who generated national headlines when he started charging 5 cents a word for letters to the editor that endorse a candidate.
Trooper First Class Ricky Underwood, a Campbellsville native, was named Trooper of the Year for the special operations section of the Kentucky State Police recently.
Underwood joined the KSP in July 1989 and was assigned to the Columbia post for several years both as a trooper and a detective. The Columbia post covers several counties including Taylor.
Underwood is currently assigned to the Kentucky State Police canine section.

There are general guidelines for breast milk collection and storage for the healthy baby. They may be used when obtaining milk via a breast pump for occasional "relief" feedings or when collecting milk during regular separation from the baby, such as during work or school days. The mother obtaining milk for an occasional relief feeding may want to consider learning the simple skill of hand expression. Generally, it is as effective as using a breast pump -- some mothers find it more effective.
Listed in the directory below you will find some additional information regarding breast milk collection and storage, for which we have provided a brief overview.

POSTED: Monday, July 19, 2010 - 9:17pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - 10:02am
There have been several high profile raids on so-called puppy mill breeders in Texas in the last few months.
And one legislator wants to do something about it.
They are called puppy mills, though some breeders would argue with that term. But as Justice Potter Stewart once said of pornography…we know a puppy mill when we see one.
Legitimate animal breeders want no part of this. These kinds of puppy mill operations have been raided and put out of business all over the country. But Texas is one of the states that, while it has laws against animal cruelty, has no regulation of breeders.
"That would be it," says Danika Maher of the SPCA. "Whether you know anything or not, you can probably become a breeder. If you're a conscientious breeder working to better the breed and then you don't really have anything to worry about."
Representative Senfronia Thompson of Houston wants to put animal breeders in the same category as plumbers and hair stylists.
She wants a set of regulations, standards and licensing.
"What it's designed to do," says Gayle Helms of the Humane Society, "is really to have the commercial breeders, and any breeders, to have an inspection and make sure the facilities are up to proper standards, and the animals are healthy."
Under her proposal, if you own 11 or more females used for breeding animals for sale, you would be considered a commercial breeder and need to be licensed.
The SPCA thinks that's a good idea.
"When you have too many animals like that in such a small space," Maher says, "the potential for disease spread is astronomical. You don't get the socialization, which leads to behavior problems which is why a lot of animals end up in shelters."
Breeders though sense this is a slippery slope aimed at ultimately putting them all out of business.
"We believe that there are organizations involved in this that are really after, and they've made statements that they would like to see the complete elimination of domesticated animals," dog breeder David Tapley told us.
"If the breeders want to impact the legislation," Maher counters, "they should be involved and they should be taking the steps to weed out those that aren't breeding to standard and not just leave it to legislators and yell about what get passed."
That last statement may be the truest of them all.
Honest breeders have nothing to fear and removing the bad apples will be good for the industry.
But standing on the sidelines isn't an option for them.

'A Good Marriage' Trailer Teases the First of Four Stephen King Adaptations Over the Next Year or So
Movie News By Rob Hunter on August 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's only been ten months since a Stephen King film was playing in theaters, but we're already just two months away from the next. Once upon a time that year-long wait between adaptations would have seemed crazy– back in the '80s and early '90s there were frequently two or three of them in the multiplexes simultaneously — but he hasn't been nearly as ubiquitous onscreen in the 21st century. There have only been nine feature films based on his work since 2000, and pretty much only one of them is worth a damn. His latest stab at the box-office is A Good Marriage, a film written by King from his own short story. The always fantastic Joan Allen plays a woman who discovers her loving husband (Anthony LaPaglia) may just be a serial killer. There's no shortage of movies about couples, secrets and the possibility that one of them might be a murderer, but the ones that work best (Presumed Innocent, Jagged Edge) succeed in part because of the mystery and suspense as to whether the person is guilty. The first trailer for A Good Marriage seems uninterested in taking that route. Check out the uninspired trailer below and keep reading to see what other films King has in the adaptation pipeline.
Joan Allen Enters Into One Heck of An Unholy Matrimony in Stephen King's 'A Good Marriage'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on September 11, 2012 | Comments (1)Looks like yet another Stephen King adaptation is on its way (this one joins the in-production Carrie, the still-up-for-grabs The Dark Tower, that apparent two-film It adaptation, the long-rumored The Stand remake, and maybe even an Under the Dome series and a few Rose Madder films, just for fun) to theaters, but this one is a much less well-known property that has a far more homegrown sense of terror to it than some of those old King classics. THR reports that Joan Allen will star in A Good Marriage, which King has adapted from his own novella. Peter Askin (Trumbo, Searching for Certainty) will direct the film, which comes from King's 2010 short story collection "Full Dark, No Stars." Shockingly, it's not really a story about a good marriage.

3). Global supply chain trends Growing labor costs in Asia, particularly China, coupled with volatile fuel costs, have forced companies to re-evaluate their supply chain networks. "The U.S. is a huge consumer market. All things being equal, companies will want to be in close proximity to their customers as it improves speed-to-market, reduces inventory carrying and freight costs as well as reduces risks and improves customer service," said Thompson. "These critical supply chain considerations make the U.S. increasingly more attractive from a manufacturing or sourcing perspective. Companies are diversifying their manufacturing and sourcing decisions just as an investor would their personal investment portfolio. Having a physical presence in the U.S. is becoming increasingly important."
4). The explosion of E-commerce in the U.S. and globally The primary industries leading the demand for warehouse and distribution space are food-and-beverage, e-commerce and traditional retailers. In fact, one-third of all demand for big-box space is tied to multi-channel retailers or 'e-tailers'. The influx of e-commerce and m-commerce (mobile) has revolutionized the retail sector. Retailers tapping multiple channels to sell their merchandise are finding it more cost-effective to increase online logistics operations rather than open more traditional stores, requiring an entirely different distribution model. Therefore, retailers are evolving their regional distribution networks to include e-commerce distribution centers. Demand from these companies has been growing since 2009 and will continue to do so.
"Our focus on distribution hubs such as Southern California and Central Pennsylvania is in a large part driven by the demand in this sector," said Shannon Hondl, Chief Development Officer for Goodman Birtcher. "Jones Lang LaSalle's expertise in this industry vertical coupled with their ability to underwrite and execute complex and strategic projects has helped put us in a market-leading position as we develop the next generation of distribution centers."
5). Solid U.S. connectivity and infrastructure The U.S. has a world-class supply chain infrastructure (e.g. ports, highways, airports, rail) which is another important factor in attracting and retaining manufacturers. Its proximity to the Panama Canal which is currently undergoing an expansion so that large ships can pass through its waters is another plus for the U.S. The expansion will encourage growth and investment within the broader logistics universe impacting everything from shipping and rail line construction to warehousing and terminal development in the U.S. and around the world.
The Canal expansion is prompting companies in both seaport and inland markets to re-examine their logistics processes and facility positioning. The demand for industrial property around these receiving ports both inland and coastal, is set to rise as U.S. ports gear up to cater to the next generation of large shipping vessels. Federal funding for necessary dredging and pier-side infrastructure has not been readily available. This has created opportunity for the private sector to offer new solutions through public-private partnerships (P3's) in order to bring port expansion projects to fruitionCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Penn State kicker Fera transferring to Texas
August, 2, 2012
By HornsNation staff | ESPN.com
Penn State kicker Anthony Fera will transfer to Texas, a source confirmed to ESPN.com's Joe Schad.
The redshirt junior kicker has two years of remaining eligibility and will immediately compete for the Longhorns' starting placekicking and punting duties.
The Houston St. Pius X grad and Cypress, Texas, native decided to join the Longhorns after visiting UT on Sunday and Monday.
In his first season as a two-way kicker, Fera connected on 14 of his 17 field goal attempts and averaged 42 yards on 64 punts in 2011. He earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from ESPN.com as a sophomore and second-team recognition from coaches and media.
Fera joins a Texas team in need of experience at kicker following the graduate of kicker/punter Justin Tucker.
The Longhorns added transfer Alex King, a two-year starting punter at Duke, in the summer and also have sophomore Will Russ, redshirt freshman Ben Pruitt and true freshmen Nick Jordan and Nick Rose competing for kicking jobs.
Fera is the seventh Nittany Lion player who has elected to transfer following the NCAA's sanctions against Penn State.
On Tuesday, PSU lost starting running back Silas Redd to USC, quarterback Rob Bolden to LSU and tight end Kevin Haplea to Florida State.
Linebacker Khairi Fortt also elected to transfer to Cal, safety Tim Buckley chose N.C. State, and defensive tackle Jamil Pollard reportedly left for Rutgers.

Today's Devotional
Recent Devotionals
- Daily Devotional - September 19, 2011 "Words That Build Up"9/18/2011 - Imagine if I were to continue writing this article in Simplified Chinese script. Even if I were to write in excellent prose and share some inspiring truths, it wouldn't add anything to your life (unless you know Simplified Chinese). The reason is obvious. Intelligibility precedes understanding. Everyone can understand that! Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians, "I would rather speak five understandable words to help others than ten thousand words in an unknown language" (14:19).
- Daily Devotional - September 16, 2011 "Active Faith"9/16/2011 - Did you know that?!" When my student responded with disbelief at what he had learned in researching his social justice project, my heart leapt with excitement. Teaching in a private prep school, I look for ways to help my students see beyond their somewhat sheltered world.
- Daily Devotional, September 15, 2011 "Oh Well"9/14/2011 - I would rather work with pagans than with other Christians!" My friend's statement wouldn't be particularly surprising for an agnostic or atheist to make. But he's a minister. Why can believers in Jesus sometimes be so difficult and nasty?
- Daily Devotional, September 14, 2011 "Steven Curtis Chapman - Do Everything"9/13/2011 - Jesus had a habit of turning things upside down during his short three-year ministry. From the tables of the temple moneychangers, to the teachings of the religious leaders, to the dreams and expectations of his followers, to the entire world system of power and influence and authority, he challenged and uprooted all that was not aligned with the reality of the kingdom of God.
- Daily Devotional - September 13, 2011 "Sandwiched"9/12/2011 - If you feel as if you're a walking ham and cheese on rye, there might be good reason. More and more people are becoming part of the "sandwich generation." They're feeling the squeeze of caring for children while also supporting parents or parents-in-law. A recent report reveals that one in five working-age people in Asia are now officially "sandwiched."
- Daily Devotional - September 12, 2011 "Painful Truth"9/11/2011 - My 4-year-old son and I were watching television when we saw a commercial for skin cream. A woman's face appeared and then the camera zoomed in, revealing a rather serious set of crow's feet. But it didn't stop there. Computer animation gave us a peek beneath the surface of her skin—into her very pores.
- Daily Devotional - September 09, 2011 "No Fear"9/9/2011 - The other day I stopped at a service station to fill up my car's gas tank. When I went inside to pay, I noticed a little sparrow hopping around on the windowsill next to the cashier. She told me the sparrow had flown into the window a few days earlier and injured its wing. So she had brought it inside to give it a chance to mend.
- Daily Devotional - September 08, 2011 "Apart or a Part"9/7/2011 - In The Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church, Reggie McNeal writes, "A growing number of people are leaving the institutional church for a new reason. They are not leaving because they have lost faith.
- Daily Devotional - September 07, 2011 "Sing"9/6/2011 - For 160 years, the Free Church of Scotland has not allowed hymns or any instrumental music to be played or sung in their public worship. In 1843, the Free Church split from the Presbyterian Church of Scotland; and ever since, the Free Church has allowed only psalms to be sung—and only to be sung a cappella.
- Daily Devotional - September 06, 2011 "True Contentment"9/5/2011 - Whenever a friend succeeds," Gore Vidal once said, "a little something in me dies." The words are sad, because a life lived in envy leaves little room for joy. But don't Vidal's words reflect our own feelings at times?
- Daily Devotional - September 05, 2011 "Bitter Water"9/4/2011 - The first time I met her, something in our interaction truly bothered me. A day later, I was praying to God and searching my heart to see why I felt so unsettled around my new acquaintance. After all, it had been a pretty typical social gathering, and I usually enjoy getting to know people.
- Daily Devotional - September 02, 2011 "Fooling Ourselves"9/1/2011 - Last year, a bizarre TV game show began airing in France. Contestants were given questions and all went well if they answered correctly. But a wrong answer proved to be deadly. For the erring contestants were then commanded to throw a switch that appeared to force another contestant—strapped in the "hot seat"—to endure a lethal 420 volts of electricity.
- Daily Devotional - September 01, 2011 "Among Us"8/31/2011 - For 2 months in Uganda, I was without a car and had to travel by foot or by using public transportation. I squeezed into crowded matatus (minivan taxis) and weaved through traffic on the backs of boda bodas (motorcycle taxis).
- Daily Devotional - August 31, 2011 "Spotless"8/30/2011 - I accidentally dropped my cell phone into the garbage can. It slid straight to the bottom, and when I pulled it out, it was covered with some kind of disgusting mystery goo. Horrified, I set to work spraying, scrubbing, and disinfecting. I didn't stop until the phone was spotless. God called the people of Israel to "sanitize" themselves.
- Daily Devotional - August 30, 2011 "Persevering"8/29/2011 - The film October Sky tells the remarkable story of a teenage boy's dream to build rockets. After watching Sputnik, the first earth-orbiting artificial satellite, race across the night sky in 1957, a deep desire was ignited within Homer Hickam to make rockets and become a part of NASA's space program.
- Daily Devotional - August 29, 2011 "Seeing Clearly"8/28/2011 - Mom, turn the mirror so I can see better." Riding behind me in the car, my son asked me to set the rearview mirror so he could see himself in it. When my adjustments did not allow him a full view of himself, he asked me to try again.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. (AP) - A rare whale fossil has been pulled from a Southern California backyard with some unusual help - a sheriff's search-and-rescue team.
Paleontologist Howell Thomas of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County says the 16- to 17-million-year-old baleen whale fossil is one of about 20 baleen whale fossils known to exist.
The fossil, lodged in 1,000-pound rock, was hoisted from a ravine by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department search-and-rescue volunteers. Using pulleys and a steel trolley, crews pulled the fossil up a steep backyard slope and into a truck bound for the museum.
The fossil was discovered by 53-year-old Gary Johnson when he was a teen exploring the creek behind his family's home. Johnson called Thomas after a whale fossil was recovered in January at a nearby school.

I feel sort of sorry for Jack Gleeson. The 19-year-old Irish actor has been tasked with playing "Game of Thrones" villain Joffrey Baratheon, easily the most loathsome character on TV, well, ever. There is absolutely nothing to like about King Joffrey and he's not even the kind of gleefully evil type you could maybe sort of root for. He's a sadistic, vile little punk and I cannot wait to find out how he dies, because you know he must perish eventually. (He has to, right? I mean, evil like that cannot be allowed to live!) John DeVore and I have a new saying and that is, "He's so Joff" which translates to "What a fucking dick." Anyway, I am usually able to separate an actor from his character, but while I think I could control my desire to pummel Gleeson in the face on behalf of the Starks and those two prostitutes (for starters), I don't think I could hold back my stink-eye. Really, this is a testament to just how good an actor Gleeson is and I hope he's rewarded come award season. So what's his story? Here are five things to know about Jack Gleeson. Keep reading »

In her new album, 'The River and The Thread,' Cash weaves tales from the past and present
"As much as my dad's legacy is something I cherish, it's a burden with a lot of moving parts"
Rosanne Cash is proud as hell of being Johnny Cash's daughter. But when, halfway through a sold-out show at London's Barbican, some twerp shouts out a request for "Ring of Fire," she shoots him a look that would surely put the fear of God into even the Man In Black at his meanest.
"Do you go to your dad's office and do his work?" she says.
"Yeah, it's a little dispiriting when that happens," she sighs later on when we get together to discuss her new album, "The River and the Thread."
"You can't help feeling a bit like 'here I am, I'm doing my best work and yet…' I'm sure that Jakob Dylan gets it too and Liza Minnelli and everybody else who's second generation when people really loved their parents.
"As much as my dad's legacy is something I cherish, it's a burden with a lot of moving parts. My father is a screen for some people to project their own ideals, their own agendas on. And the craziest of them want to protect him from me, or from what they imagine I am. But I feel that it makes me work harder, that it really sparks my work ethic when that happens."
She's more than justified in thinking that she's long since emerged from her dad's shadow. Rosanne Cash has Grammy and Americana award nominations to her name as well as hit singles aplenty, an impressive career in prose writing and editing, including her best-selling memoir "Composed," and a noble record of supporting good causes, such as The AIDS Project of St. Luke's in New York City.
"The River and the Thread" is a thrillingly kaleidoscopic examination of the geographic, emotional and historic landscape of the American South, reflecting the country, blues, gospel and rock music that traces its history to the region.
It's a record, says Cash, "that I feel ties past and present together through all those people and places in the South I knew and thought I had left behind."
Paradoxically, it evolved out of a project involving her father — something she had assiduously avoided for many years.
"So many Johnny Cash projects come to me — books and movies and plays and records — that I say no to. That's the work of other people. But Arkansas State University called me in 2008 and said they wanted to purchase my dad's boyhood home in Dyess, Ark., and restore it very accurately. They asked if I wanted to be involved, and I said yes right away. It felt like something tangible and was instantly compelling to me."
So Cash and her husband John Leventhal started taking trips to the South, initially to help organize fundraising efforts for the Dyess project. Gradually these became more regular visits.
"John had always wanted to go down Highway 61 so we did that for his birthday. Then I went to Alabama a couple of times to visit my friend Natalie Channing, who has a workshop where they hand-stitch clothing.
"Natalie was teaching me to sew and she said 'You have to learn to love the thread' in this beautiful accent, and it hit me as an enormous metaphor. Although I'm sure she actually meant it literally!
"So all of these trips were for different reasons but the songs came out of them as a natural by-product. I think our hearts were particularly open to that happening because every reason we went down had this huge emotional component — the Dyess project, my friendship with Natalie and how incredibly moving her artwork is, then John's birthday and us going together on Highway 61 for the first time. All these side trips too, like to Robert Johnson's grave, seeing where Emmett Till was murdered, our first visit to the Tallahatchie Bridge after I'd been singing the Bobbie Gentry song 'Ode To Billie Joe' for years, visiting William Faulkner's house and Dockery Farms, the plantation where Howlin' Wolf and Charley Patton worked and sang…"
Their journeys repeatedly took them through Memphis, the city of Cash's birth, where they visited the studio of Sun Records, and watched their son strum a guitar in the same room where her father cut his first record.
"That was all really emotionally compelling. As songwriters I don't know how we could have not written songs about it."
She describes the album that emerged as a "mini-travelogue of the South and of the soul," preferring to play the songs in order in concert. "That was something I'd wanted to do since I saw Lou Reed perform 'Magic And Loss' that way in New York City many years ago, and being absolutely blown away by it. Some of it challenges the audience and I like that — going on a journey together.
"I guess I weave in and out of these songs in a way, but the sentiment is universal. Most of us go a long way and try a lot of things before we come home to ourselves. To paraphrase Paul Theroux: 'We go away to find the changes in ourselves. We go away to find our place in the world.' "
In Cash's case, that included a stint in London at the height of the punk era, working for CBS Records and, echoing the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, many trips to mainland Europe, especially Paris and Barcelona. She has lived in Manhattan for many years and writes prose as much as she writes songs.
"Prose is an equally important part of my life really. Since 1994 when my book of short stories came out, I've written a lot of essays and prose pieces. I've just written an essay for a book about why people stay in New York, which was really fun to write. This summer I'm writing a piece for National Geographic about the Dyess Project and New Deal-era colonies.
"It's important to me. I don't really separate it from songwriting that much — it requires the same sort of poetic discipline. I love songwriting because of how prescribed it is, in that you're married to a melody and so on, whereas there can be a lot more freedom in prose."
And the musical thread remains unbroken, with her daughter Chelsea Crowell (from her first marriage to Rodney Crowell) also performing and recording. Which brings us back to that old question about musical families.
"Chelsea had a hard time with that — she's got two generations in back of her and it's been really hard for her. But she's a great writer and she's actually writing prose now for Rolling Stone Country. That's fun for her but I hope she goes back to music.
"Jake, our son who's 15, is deeply musical so I don't know what he's going to do. He's a much better pianist than I ever thought of being. We do bring him on the road as often as we can and hire him as a roadie.
"The only way to not get dismantled by all that is to stay connected to your own muse, and immerse yourself completely in what you're doing so it can be as rich and authentic as it can.
"But this record is getting some nice attention and I'm just grateful that at this point in my life I'm still doing good work and people are still noticing.
"That's a huge deal. I know a lot of people my age have been doing it as long and they're burnt out and they can't get traction. It's so hard, so I feel incredibly lucky."
