i haven't been able to root any roses yet, but here are a couple sites for reference. rooting roses using softwood rose propagation |
thank you so much!! :')) |
If it's a climber, just leave the branch attached to the mother plant and SOIL-LAYER it. Do a google.com search for instructions on soil-layering. When it's rooted (by the end of the summer), sever it from the mother plant and pot it up. Keep it sheltered from cold for the first winter. |
Jump over to the Rose propagation forum for some info on this subject, too. I've been lurking and finding out a lot of good info. Linda |

The FDA trial will be known as The MASTER II (MGuard™ for Acute ST Elevation Reperfusion), the second in a series of clinical studies intended to both validate the effectiveness of the MGuard™ EPS platform, as well as achieve registration with the appropriate regulatory authorities worldwide.
InspireMD's MGuard™ EPS technology previously yielded positive results in the MASTER I findings, which revealed a statistically and clinically significant acute advantage of MGuard™ EPS with regard to ST segment resolution. As a result, MGuard™ EPS may hold the potential to lower the incidence of adverse events and prolong the survival of patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction.
About InspireMD's MGuard™ EPS Technology
In stroke and acute heart attack patients, the plaque or thrombus is unstable and often breaks up as a stent is implanted causing downstream blockages, some of which can be fatal, in a significant portion of heart attack patients.
The MGuard™ EPS stent system is integrated with a precisely engineered micro net mesh designed to prevent the unstable arterial plaque and thrombus (clots) that cause these blockages from breaking off. The mesh is designed to provide outstanding and lifelong embolic protection, without affecting deliverability. MGuard™ EPS is CE Mark approved. MGuard™ EPS, however, is not approved for sale in the U.S. by the FDA.
About InspireMD, Inc.
InspireMD is a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of its proprietary stent system technology, MGuard™. InspireMD intends to pursue applications of this technology in coronary, carotid and peripheral artery procedures. InspireMD's common stock is quoted on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol NSPR.

SAVIORS FOR ALLSAINTS: Goode Partners and Lion Capital are this weekend set to put the finishing touches on a 100 million pound, or $166 million, deal to rescue the British retailer AllSaints. "We're guardedly optimistic," an AllSaints spokesman told WWD. A deal could be unveiled as early as Tuesday, according to an industry source.
A spokeswoman for Ernst & Young, the accountancy group that has been charged with finding a new investor for AllSaints, said Thursday that all the paperwork still had to be finalized and signed, and that an announcement would be likely next week. Officials at Goode and Lion didn't return calls requesting comment.
Goode had been working for weeks to get an agreement off the ground, only to see its former partner in the deal, MSD Capital, Michael Dell's private investment fund, pull out late last week. Lion Capital, whose investments include American Apparel and the lingerie retailer La Senza, replaced MSD last weekend.
According to sources, Goode already holds a stake in AllSaints, which it was seeking to protect with this latest deal. Goode is also an investor in Intermix.
AllSaints has been forced to restructure following the collapse of the Icelandic bank Kaupthing, which held a majority stake in the company through loans of a reported $532.2 million, which the company had used to fuel its rapid international expansion.
Ernst & Young put Kaupthing's U.K. division into administration, the British equivalent of Chapter 11, and — separately — has been dealing with AllSaints, trying to find it new investors.
AllSaints also risked falling into administration had it not found an investor.

Apple Kills Aperture, Says New Photos App Will Replace It
Re:/. must allow moderating of TFA (214 comments)
The laughability of this depends entirely on what you are using the word "safe" to refer too.
For the average consumer, their photos are "safe"r from accidental loss in most cloud storage tools than they are on a hard drive.
If you're discussing the potential for having your photos stolen, that's an entirely different matter.

Contents tagged with ASP.NET
Moving to Agramont.net (Hosting, ASP.NET IIS, Hosted Exchange, Microsoft Provisioning System, and Community Server)
Now that I have my site working pretty well, I'm now going to do all of my blog posts over there (http://agramont.net/). I tried the cross-posting thing using the built-in features of Community Server (CS2 with ASP.NET 2), but it felt weird having the same content on two sites. From time to time, I'll post on this site a summary of the new content on my new site.
For now, I'm focusing the blog post on Hosting, ASP.NET, IIS, Hosted Exchange, Microsoft Provisioning System, and, Community Server..
New Blog URL: http://agramont.net/blogs/conrad/default.aspx
RSS Feed: http://agramont.net/blogs/conrad/rss.aspx
Summary of New Content:
Launched Agramont.net
Today is the first day that Agramont.net (http://agramont.net) is available on the Internet! I've had the domain for quite some time, but never really had the time to get it together. With thanks to the Community Server team (for their product), I now have the site up and running.
About the site:
- Community Server 2.0 for ASP.NET 2.0 (Express for now)
- Used website template (only pieces) purchased on TemplateMonster.com
- Ads are driven by Google Adsense
- Added the site to Google Via Google Sitemaps
- Traffic reporting is done via Google Analytics
- Shared hosting site via ASPnix (IIS6/SQL Server 2005 64-bit)
I plan to produce a fair amount of content for this site, but mostly through my blog. My blog is still currently posted on weblogs.asp.net, but I plan to use this site to most the majority of my blogs and do crossposting over to the weblogs.asp.net site.
From time to time, I write a bunch of protoype applications and tools and they just sit on my home development machine wasting away. So I plan to share a bunch of that on this site.
I have a few ideas on some other websites, so this is just a start at running my own public websites and content.
With that said, I'm still working with Service Provider/Hosters customers around the globe while working for Planet Technologies (http://www.go-planet.com/). With so much coming down the road from Microsoft (IIS 7, Exchange 12, Office Servers), I have a lot to learn and share with all of you.
Microsoft Provisioning System (MPS) SDK Beta 1 is now available
The first Beta of the MPS SDK is available for download. Here is a link to the Microsoft Download:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/b/9/fb905eb4-d992-40e3-b0bc-cdb1996a1a10/Microsoft%20Provisioning%20System%20SDK-%20Beta%201.zipI'm not sure what's going on with the branding of this, but the following names all seem to point to the same thing:
- Microsoft Solution for Windows-Based Hosting for Applications 1.0
- Microsoft Provisioning System SDK
The rest of this post has been moved to: http://agramont.net/blogs/conrad/archive/2006/06/02/8.aspx
Latest MS Trend: Product Team Websites
It appears that the "one off" website started by the ASP.NET team in Microsoft (http://www.asp.net/) is catching on. Recenlty, the IIS team has released a new site solely focused on just that product. It includes links to information around the web and some videos. Very interesting.
Here is a list of some of these sites:
- ASP.NET – http://www.asp.net (blogs: http://weblogs.asp.net/, Atlas: http://atlas.asp.net/)
- IIS – http://www.iis.net/
- Exchange (blog) - http://msexchangeteam.com/
Anyone else know of some other of these Microsoft "One Off's". And by one off, I don't mean a site hung off of a "traditional MS Property" (e.g. MSDN)
I should also mention the CodePlex as well (http://www.codeplex.com/) which is a rebirth of GotDotNet. Another Microsoft site that's ran separately.
HMC 3.5 Boot Camp & MPS Developer Training
As of today, we (Planet Technologies) are now offering an HMC 3.5 Bootcamp and MPS Developer Training at our training facility in Maryland. We have all of the labs (built on Virtual Server) and equipment ready to go. All you need to do is register and come get your brain jammed with Hosted Exchange, MPS, Active Directory, and lots more. The training class is less of a PowerPoint and Step-by-Step collection of labs, but is very interactive with whiteboard discussions, scenario based lab time, and learnings from real world deploymets! Did I mention the quality Foosball Table?
ASP.NET 2.0 and Medium Trust
Scott Allen has good post that provides a basic overview of why any Service Provider that is offering ASP.NET (specifically 2.0) as a service, should make Medium Trust as the default for all websites.
Bye, Bye FrontPage...Hello Visual Web Developer 2005 Express!

eQuest Job Posting: Software Development Engineer
I guess I'll join the trend of puting job postings on a blog. We're growing our development team at eQuest and we're looking for that special person that loves to develop web applications, server side components, and a touch lots of different Microsoft products and technologies. If you're expereienced in MPS architecture, engineering, and/or development and want to work with a team of MPS experts, than this is youre future home!
Microsoft Webcasts
This is a collection of Microsoft Webcasts in various areas. This is not a complete list, but a good start.
Give me some Microsoft Hosting Topics
So it's been just over a year now that I've actively been blogging and doing lots around communities and forums. For the most part, I focus on topics related to providing Hosted Services with the Microsoft Platform. This includes things like Hosted Exchange, Windows base Hosting (aka Windows Web Hosting), and the Microsoft Provisioning System.


text: A recess for the reception of a statue, to give it emphasis, frame it effectively and afford protection; one of the cbief characteristics of Gothic architecture. Sculpture was introduced in the Romanesque period, but the frame was little more than the flanking shaft supporting an arch. The Gothic builders realized that sculpture to be architectural must be incorporated with the building. This was done by the canopied niche which also protected the statue and produced a rich composition of line, light, and shade. The wall was recessed and a pedestal added. In the 14th and 15th centuries the canopy was elaborately decorated.New Catholic Dictionary

The TDI diesel returns
We know you're wondering about the TDI engine option, and diesel fans have nothing to fear. Volkswagen is still going to sell the V-6 TDI here since it currently accounts for half of all Touareg sales. The theory is a hybrid Touareg will draw in new shoppers and hopefully add incremental sales instead of cannibalizing TDI or regular V-6 sales. With that said, there aren't any clear sales expectations for the hybrid right now. VW doesn't even know how much the hybrid will cost, even in relative terms, compared with its V-6 and TDI counterparts.
New styling inside and out
Despite the fact the 2011 Touareg looks very similar to its predecessor, the vehicle is almost entirely new. And like so many other recently introduced vehicles, it looks much better in person than in photographs. The front end looks more masculine and aggressive since the vehicle is lower and wider than before. Anyone riding in the back seat will appreciate the nearly two inches of extra wheelbase since that growth directly translated to increased legroom in the back seat.
Inside, the Touareg's cabin materials are upgraded and a new navigation unit is standard across all trim levels. VW considerably reduced the number of configurations for the SUV with this redesign and there are now only three trim levels; the sole stand-alone option is a trailer hitch. Dealers complained that the 110-170 possible Touareg configurations were far too complex to keep in stock, so now there are only twelve variations plus the hybrid model. All hybrids are fully loaded except for the 20-inch wheels that are available on non-hybrid models because the hybrid-spec tires are only available for 19-inch rims.
Lots of tech, but it's not all coming to the USA
We tested quite a few technologies in the European-spec Touaregs we sampled in Italy. Everything from active cruise control with stop and start ability to dynamic bi-xenon lighting and an around view camera system similar to what Land Rover offers is on the options sheet for Europeans. It seems like Volkswagen is still sorting out which electronic gadgets are worth offering in the litigious U.S. market, so we'll give you a full overview of the technological advances the Touareg makes once the U.S. spec sheet is finalized.
On sale this fall, with all three powertrains
Volkswagen expects to have the 2011 Touareg models on sale this fall, perhaps in November. Sales begin in Europe this summer and all three powertrains will be available from day one for U.S. consumers.
Though the Touareg still stands more or less alone in the market, especially in hybrid trim, we're happy to see it refreshed. Everything gets a little more refined, the interior is upgraded, it's very quiet in the cabin, and 2/3 of the powertrain choices are green. If you're going to be the odd man out, it's best to bring your A-game, and that's exactly what Volkswagen has done with the 2011 Touareg.

As you turn your attention to the Milano Satellit 2011 furniture collection, you will perhaps note an eclectic undertone to it that is threaded together quite seamlessly due to the overall aesthetic of each piece. This eclectic quality comes from what inspired the designer during creation.
Designed by Swedish designer Johan Lindstén, the Milano Satellit 2011 furniture collection was inspired by movie lights, pin cottages and, of course, nature itself. Minimal and fresh, it is a completely contemporary collection that would complement just about any living space. I especially love how the lamps seem to be alive; they are just full of personality.
The Milano Satellit 2011 furniture collection made its debut during the Salone Satellite Award event, where it was received warmly.

The fundamental principals of landscape architecture and site design are now resonating with developers, investors, and corporate users and in turn, also are influencing building design.
The main goal for Solar Decathlon team members from Rice University was to build a dwelling they could give back to their community.
Houston-based International Facility Management Association (IFMA) and Johnson Controls, Glendale, Wis., released their third-annual Energy Efficiency Indicator survey.
Whirlwind Building Components, Houston, has just released a complete product-line brochure.
The Washington, D.C.-based National Academies of Sciences' Federal Facilities Council and International Facility Management Association, Houston, hosted a joint policy forum at the U.S. Capitol in September about efficient energy use in buildings.
Drawing energy from the sun and water from the rain, the "Tonalacalli" LEED-Platinum custom home in Austin lives in harmony with nature.
In summer of 2008, five Houston school districts recycled their carpet during the remodeling of 17 buildings.
Energy Advantage homes in Austin, Houston, and Charlotte are 22% more efficient than houses built to code.
It's one thing to sell green remodeling to clients, and quite another to get buy-in from field employees.

Hello everyone,I am new to Revit and am currently looking at bringing in a road alignment as a dwg file from autoCAD. I can bring it in ok and it appears in some of my levels and elevations (still not sure how to properly control them) but how can I set up corresponding levels and grids for my road whilst keeping the roads original coordinates? thank you for any help you can give me.
Hello and Welcome to the Discussion!
I will make a few assumptions here:
Your AutoCAD file has Z axis coordinates. So you are looking to set up levels in Revit that correspond to the correct Elevation (Z axis) - correct?
In an elevation view you can set the level to the correct height (Z axis). Image elevation attached for reference.
Any part of the dwg that is 'cut' at this elevation will be shown on the corresponding floor plan.
If there is portions that are not showing - you may need to modify your View Range. You will find this in the properties of the view. Image of view range dialog box attached for reference.
Now I may be totally off on what you are looking for... So let me know and if you can post some images to help clarify what you are looking for.
Hello Lisa,
My name is Brian Falconer. I am working with Alistair and am following up with this query. Thank you very much for your help.
I have been trying to import a 3D road / tunnel alignment into Revit. When I do so it throws up a few problems:
1 Firstly due to its X, Y co-ordinates to places the alignment somewhere I cannot view. When I insert it into a level, eg. Level 1, I cannot find it in that layer, I can only view it in 3D.
2 I am able to view the alignment in the east, west or south elevation but in these views the level markers eg Level 0 - 0, Level 1 – 4000 are very far away and I am unable to move then over to my alignment.
3 When I link or import my Dwg. File it throws up two error messages:
-Some ACIS objects could not be imported. To import them, use AutoCAD to convert them into polymesh objects and reimport.
-None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: Level 0 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings.
In my revit training we concentrated on a building model so I am finding it quite difficult to apply this knowledge to a 3D road layout.
For your information my goal is that I can place services, eg. Signs, lights, CCTV cameras at exact points along the tunnel alignment so that we can check there are no points where something is within the stated clearance of the tunnel.
Thank you for any help you can provide and if you have any ideas counld you reply to firstname.lastname@example.com if possible as the emails are coming through to alistair and he is really busy at the minute.
I apoligize for the delay in responding...
for your questions:
1. - if you brought it in and cannot see it at 'level 1' then level 1 is not cutting through the import. The elevation is not set correctly. If you look at an elevation - North, South, East, or West - can you see your import and the levels? Is level 1 cutting through the import?
2. Okay - I htink you already alsered #1 here... yes in an elevation you can see the actual elevation and then where the levels are - you can move these levels to where you need them. the default in revit for level 1 is 0'-0"... so move it where ever you need it to be - either dragging it to a new position or changing the text.
3. so yes - some AutoCAD elements cannot be viewd in Revit - if you can convert them to polymesh should help. and the not visible message goes to both question 1 & 2 - once you change the elevation of the level - you will be able to see it.

You can just hear the squeaky wheels turning over at Casa Bidwill. We can't beat the "2-14-Niners'' in San Francisco or Tempe? Why not give Mexico a try?
The revenue from 100,000 fans at the game being planned by the NFL for Azteca Stadium would sure beat a 60 percent cut of 32,000 fans — the "official'' throng from last year's 49ers-Cardinals fiesta in Tempe — and it would be another game on TV. (By the way, do those in Mexico City know the game will be blacked out there if only 80,000 amigos can tear themselves away from cockfights and Telemundo in time for kickoff?)
Then, of course, logic rears its pesky head. The Cards have won 10 games in the last two years, nine of them in Tempe. On the road? Try 1-15. And that's in cities with clean drinking water and rap music.
So, after spending wisely in free agency (sans quarterback Kurt Warner) and positioning themselves to be a .500 team, the Cardinals will gladly erase their most winnable home game — the one that could send them to the playoffs — all for nothing more than outright greed and a final chance to annoy ASU on the way to Glendale?
Of course they will. It all makes sense now.
Brownie Points will spend the next 10 days covering LPGA golf and on vacation (it's really hard to choose between the two), so here's my lead-pipe NCAA tournament picks all the way up to St. Louis.
• Chicago Region — First-round winners: Illinois, Texas, Alabama, Boston College, LSU, Arizona, St. Mary's and Oklahoma State. Sweet 16: Illinois, Alabama, Arizona and Oklahoma State. Elite Eight: Illinois and Oklahoma State.
Final Four? Sorry Illini. Eddie Sutton and the Cowboys.
• Albuquerque Region — Firstround winners: Washington, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Texas Tech, Gonzaga, West Virginia, Wake Forest. Sweet 16: Washington, Louisville, Texas Tech, Wake Forest. Elite Eight: Louisville and Wake Forest.
Final Four? Louisville should have been a No. 1 seed and proves it.
• Syracuse Region —First-round winners: North Carolina, Iowa State, Villanova, Florida, Wisconsin, Kansas, N.C. State, Connecticut. Sweet 16: North Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin, UConn. Elite Eight: North Carolina and UConn.
Final Four? The Huskies get a chance to repeat.
• Austin Region — First-round winners: Duke, Mississippi State, Michigan State, Syracuse, UTEP, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kentucky. Sweet 16: Duke, Syracuse, UTEP, Kentucky (shades of 1965!). Elite Eight: Syracuse, Kentucky.
Final Four? Gerry McNamara and Syracuse appear in St. Louis.
• The Cardinals have every intention of signing Shaun Alexander or Edgerrin James — in say, 2011.
The Big Red wants to give these top running backs another five to six years to prove themselves in the league before making a big offer. Check back when they are 33 or 34 years old.

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now the LORD said to Avram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you. | 1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. |
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you, and make your name great. You will be a blessing. | 2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. |
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the eretz be blessed." | 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." |
4 So Avram went, as the LORD had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Avram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran. | 4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. |
5 Avram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls who they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Kana`an. Into the land of Kana`an they came. | 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. |
6 Avram passed through the land to the place of Shekhem, to the oak of Moreh. The Kana`ani was then in the land. | 6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. |
7 The LORD appeared to Avram, and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." He built an altar there to the LORD, who appeared to him. | 7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him. |
8 He left from there to the mountain on the east of Beit-El, and pitched his tent, having Beit-El on the west, and `Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD. | 8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD. |
9 Avram journeyed, going on still toward the South. | 9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev. |
10 There was a famine in the land. Avram went down into Mitzrayim to sojourn there, for the famine was sore in the land. | 10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. |
11 It happened, when he was come near to enter into Mitzrayim, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look on. | 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "I know what a beautiful woman you are. |
12 It will happen, when the Mitzrim will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' They will kill me, but they will save you alive. | 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me but will let you live. |
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you." | 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you." |
14 It happened that when Avram had come into Mitzrayim, the Mitzrim saw that the woman was very beautiful. | 14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that she was a very beautiful woman. |
15 The princes of Par`oh saw her, and praised her to Par`oh; and the woman was taken into Par`oh's house. | 15 And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. |
16 He dealt well with Avram for her sake. He had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels. | 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels. |
17 The LORD plagued Par`oh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Avram's wife. | 17 But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram's wife Sarai. |
18 Par`oh called Avram, and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? | 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. "What have you done to me?" he said. "Why didn't you tell me she was your wife? |
19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way." | 19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!" |
20 Par`oh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had. | 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had. |

ChadApril 2001 |
Well, here it is. I don't really have a set topic this month, but I am going to split this into two parts: the unimportant stuff, and then a couple of important things I am thinking about,
(kind of)Unimportant stuff:
I got my orange belt, in taekwondo! I got a part in the pit orchestra for my school's annual play, Oklahoma. I am the only violinist. Because I can't play like 20 violins, they are going to mic me and I'm scared absolutely stupid. If I goof up at all it will be broadcast through several gigantic speakers! I hope I don't goof, because I've been known to curse under my breath. [good music, music, music, goof-up, *(&%$&*^%^&! Piece of *^^%&^%&^, music, music,.....]
Important stuff:
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WRITES ME! I really enjoy getting e-mail from people, even negative ones [but you don't HAVE to write negative ones]
I have a new friend at school. I trusted her enough to tell her I was Bi [it was whispered so our friend next to us wouldn't hear.] and she looked at me and said "hey, we're two of a kind!" Talk about a surprise!
For the first time since I realized I was bi [right around Christmas] I saw this guy and now I have a crush on him. sigh. Unfortunately for me he is, of course, straight. [you know the saying girls have 'all the good ones are gay.' well I'm starting to think 'all the good ones are straight'] It's kind of sad. Even if he weren't straight I am convinced I'll never have a [smile] significant other. I am pretty much overweight and thus 'out of circulation'. Damn.
For as long as I can remember I always thought it would be cool to have a large house, some land, lots of cool electronic crap and many, many kids. Bow I realize I'm bi, it occurred to me that I might fall in love with a guy. If I do I obviously can't have children. How does everyone else deal with that? I'd really like to know.
Also, how does everyone deal with the homophobes out there? I was just thinking about this weekend [for you guys who are reading it later, the weekend of 3/9-3/11] and I have a campout to go on. It's called the potawotami hike [also affectionately known as the pot hike] and having to don my boy scout uniform. I have a problem doing this anymore. I completely agree with BSA's ideals and such, but I disagree with a lot of their other policies [banning gays and people of religions other than judaism, christianity, and buddhists] and yet I keep putting on the shirt. Does this make me a hypocrite?
I hope it doesn't, because I don't want to quit [makes me even more of a hypocrite, doesn't it?]. I have great fun [not to mention a friend of mine is apparently bi because we have more private fun in our tents :)]
Well this is probably all I'll write this month. It always seems so short when I'm done, then it does on the site. I have a paper to write for Spanish class tomorrow and I have to practice my music for rehearsal tonight.
Remember to write me!
P.S., in case you read this, Obi-Chan, Thanks so much for encouraging me to tell my best friend. Without yours and Creslin's encouragement. I'd probably have never told.

After a particularly emotional and stressful day during his residency, Weil went straight to the supermarket. "I bought ingredients and spent several hours cooking in the kitchen. There was something about chopping vegetables, making order, creating something wonderful'that whole process neutralized my negative mental state," he says. On the menu: soup, vegetable lasagna, and poached salmon. Weil still uses the method-along with exercise, yoga, and meditation-today. "I still like to cook; it's a very satisfying feeling."

And even if On High — the act's working title of Throne was changed to avoid confusion with similarly monikered acts, and yes, Fogal's already aware of the On High/High on Fire link — doesn't go far, it's already reignited Fogal's creative fire. "I'm actually looking forward to doing other stuff, too, besides this band, which I'm obviously excited about," he confides. "This band has definitely helped get me active again."
Horns to that, bro.
Upbeats and beatdowns: At the Soiled Dove on Friday, November 16, Firefall will unveil its latest platter, an acoustic homage to the Beatles titled Colorado to Liverpool. I have zero interest in hearing anybody taking on the songs of the Fab Four — that's hallowed ground as far as I'm concerned — so I don't see this album getting many more spins from me. Still, Jock Bartley and Steven Weinmeister do a fine job of paying tribute with their crisp vocals and harmonies (especially on cuts like "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" and "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party") and respectfully avoid coloring too much outside the lines. Elsewhere that same night, Random Hero, an act I was turned on to by KBPI's recent best-band contest, stops by the Gothic Theatre, where it will share a bill with Life in Electric, the Crimson Red (featuring ex-members of Ion and Adam's Ruin, last year's best-band winner), Glyphic and Falling Untrue.

This is an interesting idea to use in the classroom. It would motivate students to improve their skills to achieve these badges. I would suggest implementing these with some incentive system so that students pursue these badges instead of earning them passively as useless labels. These badges can be useful to track progress of historical thinking skills. |

If you've been following the news this holiday season, you've probably heard that Target shoppers may have been affected by the recent data breach. Target notified their customers of the breach via email.
Unfortunately, scammers follow the news, too. Scam artists may send out phony "Target" emails pretending to help, but they actually want to trick you into giving them your personal information. And they are skilled at making the emails look real. If you get an email that says it's from Target, here's what to look out for to make sure you don't get scammed.
The clock is ticking, and you're on the hook to find just the right gift this holiday season. Perhaps you're shopping at the last minute; maybe the giftee is really picky; or, if you're like I am, maybe you just don't feel like dealing with wrapping paper! Regardless, a gift card or certificate may seem like a great solution: it's a quick buy for you and it presents plenty of options for that person on your list.
As you go shopping for gift cards, remember to read the fine print before you buy. Yeah, time is precious and you may not have enough of it to read the details, but there are a few important things to look for.
The Federal Trade Commission is distributing a total of $5.9 million in refunds to more than 316,000 people who bought various products that claimed to help people lose weight and prevent cancer. The FTC said that Central Coast Nutraceuticals, Inc., used misleading claims, deceptive free trial offers, and phony endorsements to market Acai Pure as a weight loss product and Colotox as a cancer prevention supplement, and must refund money to consumers who bought them.

Joint statement by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton and Commissioner Füle on Kosovo elections
"We congratulate the people of Kosovo on their elections on 12 December and the calm and orderly manner in which the majority of the voting took place. We also want to congratulate the authorities and the Central Electoral Commission in particular, for having organized these elections at such short notice", said EU High Representative Catherine Ashton and Commissioner Füle on 13 December.
The participation of the Kosovo people of all communities is very welcome. Now it is up to the competent authorities to certify the results and to deal with complaints and appeals in line with the relevant laws and regulations.
It is important now to rapidly form a new government and to elect a new President so that they can tackle the many challenges ahead.
We look forward to working with the new Kosovo leadership and to begin at the earliest the dialogue between Priština and Belgrade. We have much work ahead of us in the coming year so that Kosovo can further advance towards the EU.

My DH asked me to post this question:
I have always has instant problems with PVC shower drain strainer screws stripping out of the plastic therefore I want to install a brass shower drain with strainer screws that screw into metal. This drain will be installed in a new shower which will have a vinyl shower pan, mortar and tile floor; the brass drain will connect to 4" schedule 40 PVC. Will this work or would you suggest another brands and model number? http://plumbing.hardwarestore.com/51-284-drains-and-traps/2-3-brass-shower-drain--645977.aspx Any other suggestions for another brass shower drain brand and model number is appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could always helicoil the threads or install thread inserts. Fine machine threads in plastic (especially soft plastic) have never been very strong. |
Here is the dilemma: A plastic flange is easy to strip out the holes. A metal flange is easy to break off the screws. Pick your battle. Either way, never instll the screws very tight. Barely hand tighten, but make sure the drain screen is tight against the flange so it doesn't rock when you step on it. |

Forgotten Past - Part 2 - Chapter 3Kagekao stopped; the blades of the staff were just inches away from the demon. His mask no longer showed an angry face, but one of confusion.The demon eyed the deadly blades and sighs when he sees that they were no longer moving towards him. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He slowly starts to get up."おまえ-" (You-)The face on Kage's mask changed back to an angry one, and he shoved the blade forward, causing the demon to fall again."おまえだれ!?" (Who are you!?) Kage snarled."まて、おまえ-!" (Wait, you-!) The demon replied hastily, raising his hands a little to show that he wouldn't attack."どのようにオレの名前を知っていますか!?" (How do you know my name!?) Kage demanded angrily, feeling
Forgotten Past - Part 1 - Chapter 16Kage watched from the shadows as Scollex snuck up on, and then killed a few more people. It was interesting to watch, even though Kage felt he wanted to do some of the killing as well. He didn't interfere, because he didn't want to make Scollex angry or irritated.Scollex began to move on, and Kage followed.* * *The human screamed as wings emerged from Scollex's back and into the air. Before they had a chance to run, Scollex's arm morphed into a claw and he grabbed them. Morphing his other hand into a claw as well, he slashed the human across the face and neck and dropped them to the ground.Scollex's wings folded, and his claws changed back into hands as he watched the human bleed out and die on the ground. This was the fourth kill of the evening, and he was contemplating whether or not to go out and find another unsuspecting human to stalk and kill.Kage was perched on top of the streetlamp, watching the bloody scene. After the human was dead, and he n
Forgotten Past - Part 2 - Chapter 1Kagekao had managed to sneak onto a flight headed to Japan. It was a long flight, but he managed to stay hidden throughout it. However, it was boring; so he did decide to have some fun towards the end of the flight.After the plane had landed and the passengers were waiting to be let out, Kage had snuck up on two of the airline staff. He killed them silently, and then put their bloody bodies on the cart that held drinks and food. He then shoved the cart down the aisle, sending it rolling away with the bodies on it, spilling blood onto the floor as it sped by the passengers.The passengers had panicked and started screaming and running around. Kage, satisfied with his work, made his way away from the scene and towards the cargo hold. People had already begun taking the bags out, so the door was open and he left.It was late at night, so the area was dark and filled with shadows; perfect for a demon like Kage to stealthily get around.Kage then made his way past the airport; climbing up
Forgotten Past - Part 2 - Chapter 7The doors burst open, several policemen rushed inside; guns aimed and ready. Others stayed outside, some in the open and some crouched behind the police cars."So, how do we do this?" Doku whispered frantically to Kage."Want to take the ones outside? I'll stay inside and get these ones." Kage replied, unsheathing his claws."Ah, sure; just be careful.""I will, don't worry." Kage jumped to the wall and quickly climbed to the ceiling.Doku went the other way, grabbing his bladed staff and going through a window. Outside was dark, from the roof Doku could see all around. Police cars surrounded the building, maybe half a dozen or so. Beside them were the police.Doku stayed in the shadows, looking to see which ones to get first. He spotted two of them who were quite close to the building. He moved over to them quietly, without being noticed.Then he shot out the bladed staff, piercing one of them in the shoulder. They cried out
Forgotten Past - Part 2 - Chapter 2The demon stood up and looked at his claws; they were drenched in blood. He looked back down at the body. Kage watched, waiting for a good moment to approach.The demon stopped suddenly, and seemed to grow alert. He listened to the sounds of the night, but didn't seem to hear anything unusual. Then he turned and looked towards the shadows.He raised his bloody hand to his face and lifted the mask a little, although not enough to expose any features other than his mouth. Then he turned his head towards where Kage was, even though he couldn't see him.Kage was still, and watched as the demon approached him. The demon then noticed Kage was there, and stared at him; seemingly surprised and confused.They stared at each other, both of them not knowing how to continue.The demon glanced at the way Kage was; clinging onto the wall with large claws. He could tell that he was definitely not human."おまえは . . ." (You're . . .) The demon
Forgotten Past - Part 2 - Chapter 4Kagekao followed AkaDoku through the city. Soon, they reach a moderately sized warehouse."おまえここに住んでいる?" (Is this where you live?) Kage asked, looking at the building."そうです." (It is) Doku walks towards it. "来てね." (Come on)Doku walked around the side of the building. Kage sees that the doors are closed shut, possibly locked. Doku goes past the doors and to a window. The window is high up, but there are a few crates underneath it.Doku climbs up the crates and then opens the window. He crawls inside and then beckons Kage to follow him. Kage follows, climbing up the wall without the crate's help. He goes through the window and then shuts it behind him.In the warehouse, there are many crates and boxes along with random items here and there. It reminds Kage of where he had lived, yet somehow it was different.Lookin
Forgotten Past - Part 1 - EpilogueA few minutes after Scollex had disappeared, Kage continued laughing. But in a short amount of time, the amused feeling faded; only to be replaced by pain.The sharp pain of the large open wound on his chest was excruciating. Kage stumbled backwards, hitting the wall of a building. He grabbed the wound, as if covering it would make it stop hurting.He heard a door open, along with a few windows, and voices were heard; humans would arrive soon. Panicking, Kage grabbed the wall that he had fallen onto and strained to climb up. He managed to scale the building and reach the roof, although he left a trail of blood smeared onto the wall.Kage left a few seconds before a human arrived to see what the ruckus was about. Still dripping blood, Kage difficulty made his way back to the old building with the room. He climbed the side, and then opened and entered the room through the window.Back inside, Kage fell to the ground, feeling light headed and weak due to the loss of blood. Looking around
Forgotten Past - Part 2 - Prologue~ Current time ~Memories, they seem easy to hold on to, yet in reality, are fragile. Like delicate glass or china, memories are precious; yet, even something small could shatter them all. They are precious treasures that one keeps to oneself; although some may be burdens, others are beautiful moments that will always be in memory, long after the moment has passed. And yet still, they seem like they would be forever, even though once they are gone, they seem like they were never even there.* * *The sun slowly went down the sky and hid behind the horizon, taking its light with it. Soon there was darkness, but the darkness was pierced by the shining light of the moon and the many stars surrounding it.Night; it was a good time of day, a time for sleep, a time for peace, a time for silence, a time for 'games.'Kagekao sat atop a building's roof and peered down at the city. People left the streets and reentered their homes, some had happy families; husband, wife,
Forgotten Past - Part 1 - Chapter 15Kagekao awoke to a bright but dimming light shining through the window. He had fallen asleep, and had slept through the day. Now it was at the end of the day, and the sun was almost finished setting.Kage sat up and yawned. Looking around the room, he saw that he was still alone. A big part of him had hoped that he would wake up to find someone else here, but there was no one.He took the blanket off of him and stood up. Kage walked over to the window and looked outside. The sun had dropped below the horizon and the light in the sky was fading to darkness.He opened up the window and poked his head out, looking down at the streets. There were a few cars, and one or two humans walking along the street. Kage climbed out and onto the wall, shutting the window behind him. He climbed up to the roof and pulled himself up.Looking up at the sky, there was a brilliant half-moon surrounded by a few stars. One by one, more stars came into view. Soon, the sky was full of wondrous stars. Kage gaze

Shall the limitation on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be levied by Bay Township, Charlevoix County, Michigan, against taxable property in the Township be renewed to the originally voted 1 mill ($1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value), and levied for two years, 2013 through 2014 inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for construction and maintenance of roads within Bay Township, and shall the Township levy such millage for these purposes? If approved and levied in its entirety, this millage would raise an estimated $140,223 for the Township in 2013.[1][2] |
