A roof certification is only a good as the people behind it. In addition, if the skill level and supervision of the workers doing the roof repairs prior to the certification are not actually that good, then even if the company backs up the certification, you will be left with a scenario where the roof continually leaks and they make trip after trip attempting to fix it. Not fun, and in my opinion not a good value at all.
Good value in a roof certification is to be had when a licensed contractor does a thorough roof inspection and then makes sure that any repair work is done in accordance with the recommendations in his report.
There are lots of people out there who claim to be "roof inspectors" and they are not actually licensed, and THAT is the key.
Before getting a roof inspection, ask at least this one question:
Is the person inspecting my roof a licensed contractor?
If the answer is not a simple yes ....... it's a no.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Theme in Yellow Tradition and Customs Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
On the last of October (6)
Sandburg knows that we typically mark the seasons with special holidays and celebrate them on specific days. So the seasons and our traditions go hand in hand.
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon; (10-11)
It's all one big, happy family here: the traditions and nature ("harvest moon"). So it seems the best way to celebrate holidays in Sandburg's poem is to get outside and give that DVR a rest.
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth (12-13)
Nothing says tradition better than a glowing "jack-o'-lantern" to ward off those evil Halloween spirits. But Sandburg cares less about the evil part and more about the fun the kids have with the pumpkins, since they're only fooling after all.

Hi all,
I'm working on a new documentary and was wondering if anyone has any photos from the very first Cage Warriors event in 2002 at York Hall in London? I know it's a bit of an ask as it was a...
Really impressed with him from the Turner fight. Great build for the weight as well, looks a good athlete. Looking forward to seeing how he progresses. Feather's becoming a tough division in CW.
Are any UK MMA managers who've looked after fighters on MMA shows previously broadcasted on Sky Sports available for a chat? Got a few questions I'd like to ask in regards to sponsorship.
PM me if...
Tom Bell asked Curt about his next move:
Same here. Gutted the London show is first up for the year.. Would love to be there live for that fight.
This is SFL tradition.
Also, I'm officially onboard the Arif Khan bandwagon. He's for real.
With the exception of a few, the fights on TUF 16 have been pretty dire. But I'll forever remember TUF 16 for 'Let me bang, bro'.
Overall, TUF Smashes was better.
Good work! More Wharton's Watch!
Serious question.
Sam Boo. What a boss. I'm motivated.
This man is a great man.
Nunes' old man's a brit. That count? He'd have my vote, along with Whiteford.
Possibly also Denniston Sutherland. Big turnaround. Well done to him.
I couldn't explain that. So didn't...
I'll leave that to someone else.
Sounds like Lexington Steele's signature.
Awesome resource of info.
Can someone PM me the secret 'finding him out' gameplan?
I'd love to know.

A page on Facebook posted a link to this photo today:
Naturally, a little argument ensued. People were complaining about how Jesus was shown here (obviously), and other people fired back that it was true, etc. you know the drill. Anyway, someone said they were getting tired of seeing "atheist shit" on the page, and asked what was wrong if you just believe in God, and you're not using it for money or power, or whatever. I told him and anyone else listening that since the religious get to post things about what they believe and how they think, then nonbelievers should have the right to express their thoughts as well. Another person came in and told me that this was not an opinion, this was simply trolling, and if he insulted my beliefs I'd get mad. I told him it really should not be a big deal.
I come back an hour or so later and a few more people have responded. The previous person posted as well. He said, "But it's really offensive saying that someone important to someone's faith is a myth. I hear atheists and agnostics talk about how Christians should be more tolerant of other people's beliefs, but when it comes to our beliefs, they're usually very intolerant. If I even mention how I believe homosexuality is a choice and how I believe it's wrong, they start cursing at me and calling me bigoted."
Now, I am quite through dealing with the people on that thread, as they will only drive me insane. But how could I explain? Christians hate on atheists and other beliefs quite often. They still ask that we respect them, but how? How can someone expect me to respect their disrespect?
I agree that that is a big problem. I am not condoning their actions. What I am saying is that that problem will never go away as long as there are religious people around. What is the best way to achieve the goal to get rid of most, if not all, religious people?
Being offended gains you nothing but the feeling of superiority. And I suggest that we cannot afford to be offended.
The question is: what do we do about that offense? My answer is: when they are out of bounds, I make NO BONES about saying so, about notifying my representatives regarding my displeasure, and taking other actions as are available to me, including petitions online and otherwise and any other actions which may be available to me.
I can do all of that and be polite as hell, and the numerous JW's and others who have visited my domicile in the past two years will confirm that. What I won't do is budge so much as one iota from my stand or cut them any slack they don't deserve. Too many religionists are entirely too willing to run roughshod over us. I will not turn the other cheek.
I can sense hostility in your replies. What have they done that warrants such hostility? No, don't answer that.
I am not saying you should give up anything. I am not saying that you should turn the other cheek. What would you gain if you get retribution every time you deal with them? I suggest you will never get rid of them if you keep on the defensive, or offensive.
If you demand to be respected, you should also be willing to give respect. Being polite can be a poor way to hide hostility.
What do they deserve? What do you deserve as compensation? I think you deserve to be free of them forever. What do you suggest would be the best way to get rid of them? Has what you have done so far worked? Do you think that my ideas have a hope in hell to work?
Hostility? No. Determination? Ohhhhh, YOU BETCHA!
As I just said above, I have met the JW's on my own turf and was polite, despite the fact that they are coming to my property uninvited. The last time, I told them their holy book was riven with contradictions and without any form of second source, while they seemed to be more interested in my cat (he's a VERY handsome fella!). So far, there have been no hackles raised and no ill will, though the gal who did most of the talking made a point about coming back some time or other. If they want to keep this up, I will eventually tell them point-blank that my stance is not subject to change and their repeated efforts are not appreciated.
Let's keep in mind, I haven't gone either to their house or their Kingdom Hall and told them what to think, nor would I. If they want to press on regardless, their welcome will shortly be worn out.
Now that I understand what you have been trying to tell me, I agree with you 100%. I dream of a country where religion is basically no more.
The Jehovah witness's are harmless, it's the christian right that is very dangerous, for they want the whole world, starting with the US. They so far are succeeding.
If we get rid of the Christian Right and Islam, the Jehovah's Witnesses or some other religion will eventually take their place. ALL RELIGIONS ARE BAD! So if you want to get angry about the Christian Right, also be wary of the other religions.
Weeds are harmless, but if not kept under check, your whole lawn will eventually be covered with them. Get rid of one weed, and another will take its place.
You and I agree that the Christian Right are slowly succeeding in their quest to dominate the US Government. Complaining about it is the first step. What else can we do?
Cane Kostovski...You sound like a christian apologist.
Well, I did say that a Christian could learn something from an atheist and visa versa. If you think that is crazy, then you probably won't take the suggestion to talk to a religious person about anything else but religion and see what I mean. Just like atheists have lives without a God, so do the religious even though they believe that God rules all.
Cane Kostovski...Its impossible to have an intelligent conversation with a religious person, and don't give me the bullshit they are not all like that.
Maybe you mean: "You can't have an intelligent conversation with a religious person about religion!" I have very often talked about my kids to religious people. They have good solid non-religious advice regarding them. That's just one example.
I bet you can have an intelligent conversation with them if you keep the subjects out of religion and non-religious topics that offend them such as Evolution, Abortion, Homosexuals, etc. Start off with other topics and they will respect you and you will respect them. After a few encounters, you can slowly inch into those taboo topics. When you do, show that it is good to ask questions.
The political environment is "us against them". No compromise. I say that is completely wrong. We need compromise to function as a conglomeration of all kinds of people. I wish all of those different people had one thing in common: Atheism.
Cane, I agree that neither I nor you are "better" than anyone else. But where, IMHO, your error exists is in your own statement. What they try to shove down our throats is what they believe to be good for you.
I'm not trying to shove anything down anyone's throat. I'm not out there proselytizing to anyone. I don't go knocking on doors disturbing a family's peace and quiet. I don't show up at terminally ill patients' bedsides selling them a phony line of shit as they are about to breath their last. And, I don't go around committing child abuse by scaring little ones with tales of horned boogie men and lakes of eternal fire. And why? Because I have enough respect for someone to accept the fact they may think differently than I do, and leave them to their beliefs. Just like I have the same right to be left to mine.
However, when I'm on the receiving end of uninvited proselytizing, I automatically know that person does not respect me. And when that happens, all bets are off. When they open that door without invitation, yeah, my verbal "boot up the ass" is going right through it.

When New Girl returns on September 25, Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is still reeling from the broken penis he sustained at the end of last season. In one awkward moment, he dons a trash-bag diaper to protect his private parts in the shower, and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) uses a homemade contraption to help him scratch an itch. When his injury is healed, Schmidt is determined to revamp his image by throwing a "rebranding event."
"He was a warrior poet and a dude's dude, and now he's become the broken-penis guy. He wants to readjust that," says Greenfield. And the diaper is only the beginning of the crazy costumes and shirtless antics in store for the character in the Fox sitcom's sophomore season. "I was a little shocked. Are we overdoing it?" asks Greenfield. "Because we're going for it!"

Haight-Ashbury is a district of San Francisco, California, named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets. It is also called The Haight and The Upper Haight.[4] The neighborhood is known for its history of hippie subculture.
The district generally encompasses the neighborhood surrounding Haight Street, bounded by Stanyan Street and Golden Gate Park on the west, Oak Street and the Golden Gate Park Panhandle on the north, Baker Street and Buena Vista Park to the east and Frederick Street and Ashbury Heights and Cole Valley neighborhoods to the south.
The street names commemorate two early San Francisco leaders: Pioneer and exchange banker Henry Haight[5] and Munroe Ashbury, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 1864 to 1870.[6] Both Haight and his nephew as well as Ashbury had a hand in the planning of the neighborhood, and, more importantly, nearby Golden Gate Park at its inception. The name "Upper Haight", used by locals, is in contrast to the Haight-Fillmore or Lower Haight district; the latter being lower in elevation and part of what was previously the principal African-American and Japanese neighborhoods in San Francisco's early years.
The Haight-Ashbury district is noted for its role as a center of the 1960s hippie movement. The earlier bohemians of the beat movement had congregated around San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood from the late 1950s. Many who could not find accommodation there turned to the quaint, relatively cheap and underpopulated Haight-Ashbury.[7] The Summer of Love (1967), the 1960s era as a whole, and much of modern American counterculture have been synonymous with San Francisco and the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood ever since.
Farms, entertainment, and homes[edit]
Before the completion of the Haight Street Cable Railroad in 1883, what is now the Haight-Ashbury was a collection of isolated farms and acres of sand dunes. The Haight cable car line, completed in 1883, connected the east end of Golden Gate Park with the geographically central Market Street line and the rest of downtown San Francisco. As the primary gateway to Golden Gate Park, and with an amusement park known as the Chutes[8] on Haight Street between Cole and Clayton Streets between 1895 and 1902[9] and the California League Baseball Grounds stadium opening in 1887, the area became a popular entertainment destination, especially on weekends. The cable car, land grading and building techniques of the 1890s and early 20th century later reinvented the Haight-Ashbury as a residential upper middle class homeowners' district.[10] It was one of the few neighborhoods spared from the fires that followed the catastrophic San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
Depression and war[edit]
The Haight was hit hard by the Depression, as was much of the city. Residents with enough money to spare left the declining and crowded neighborhood for greener pastures within the growing city limits, or newer, smaller suburban homes in the Bay Area. During the housing shortage of World War II, large single-family Victorians were divided into apartments to house workers. Others were converted into boarding homes for profit. By the 1950s, the Haight was a neighborhood in decline. Many buildings were left vacant after the war. Deferred maintenance also took its toll, and the exodus of middle class residents to newer suburbs continued to leave many units for rent.
In the 1950s, a freeway was proposed that would have run through the Panhandle, but due to a citizen freeway revolt it was cancelled in a series of battles that lasted until 1966.[11][12] The Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC) was formed at the time of the 1959 revolt.[13] HANC is still active in the neighborhood as of 2008.[14]
The Haight-Ashbury's elaborately detailed, 19th century multi-story wooden houses became a haven for hippies during the 1960s, due to the availability of cheap rooms and vacant properties for rent or sale in the district; property values had dropped in part because of the proposed freeway.[15] The bohemian subculture that subsequently flourished there took root, and to a great extent, has remained to this day.[16]
Summer of Love[edit]
The mainstream media's coverage of hippie life in the Haight-Ashbury drew the attention of youth from all over America. Hunter S. Thompson labeled the district "Hashbury" in The New York Times Magazine, and the activities in the area were reported almost daily.[17] The Haight-Ashbury district was sought out by hippies to constitute a community based upon counterculture ideals, drugs, and music. This neighborhood offered a concentrated gathering spot for hippies to create a social experiment that would soon spread throughout the nation.[18] The opening of the Psychedelic Shop on January 3, 1966 offered hippies a spot to purchase marijuana and LSD, which was essential to hippie life in Haight-Ashbury.[19] With the Psychedelic Shop located in the heart of Haight-Ashbury, the entire hippie community had easy access to drugs which was perceived as a community unifier.[20] The neighborhood's fame reached its peak as it became the haven for a number of the top psychedelic rock performers and groups of the time. Acts like Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin all lived a short distance from the intersection. They not only immortalized the scene in song, but also knew many within the community as friends and family. Another well-known neighborhood presence was The Diggers, a local "community anarchist" group known for its street theatre who also provided free food to residents every day.
During the "Summer of Love", psychedelic rock music was entering the mainstream, receiving more and more commercial radio airplay. The Scott McKenzie song "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)," written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, became a hit single in 1967. The Monterey Pop Festival in June further cemented the status of psychedelic music as a part of mainstream culture and elevated local Haight bands such as the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company and Jefferson Airplane to national stardom. A July 7, 1967, Time magazine cover story on "The Hippies: Philosophy of a Subculture," an August CBS News television report on "The Hippie Temptation"[1] and other major media interest in the hippie subculture exposed the Haight-Ashbury district to enormous national attention and popularized the counterculture movement across the country and around the world.
The Summer of Love attracted a wide range of people of various ages: teenagers and college students drawn by their peers and the allure of joining a cultural utopia; middle-class vacationers; and even partying military personnel from bases within driving distance. The Haight-Ashbury could not accommodate this rapid influx of people, and the neighborhood scene quickly deteriorated. Overcrowding, homelessness, hunger, drug problems, and crime afflicted the neighborhood. Many people simply left in the fall to resume their college studies.[21] On October 6, 1967, those remaining in the Haight staged a mock funeral, "The Death of the Hippie" ceremony.[22] Mary Kasper explained the message of the mock funeral as follows:
We wanted to signal that this was the end of it, don't come out. Stay where you are! Bring the revolution to where you live. Don't come here because it's over and done with.
Recent history[edit]
After 1968, the area went into decline due to "an influx of hard drugs and a lack of police presence,"[24][25] but was improved and renewed in the late 1970s.[26]
Throughout the 1980s the Haight became an epicenter for the SF Comedy Scene when a small coffee house off Haight Street called The Other Cafe (currently the restaurant Crepes on Cole) became a full-time comedy club helping to launch the careers of Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and Whoopi Goldberg.[27] Also in the 1980s through to the early 1990s the I-Beam nightclub on Haight Street became a hot spot for modern rock dance music in San Francisco, and a popular venue for live performances by a litany of the world's best known new wave, punk, industrial, and indie bands.
Attractions and characteristics[edit]
The area still maintains its bohemian ambiance. It is also home to a number of independent restaurants and bars, as well as clothing boutiques, booksellers, head shops and record stores including Amoeba Music. The neighborhood enjoys the status of independent shopping distinct by day, but by night the counterculture is more visible. Many wandering backpackers, campers, and vagrants from around the area and the entire nation come to Haight Street to explore the counterculture that has evolved since the 1960s, which includes jam band,folk, and punk rock music,plus drugs like marijuana, LSD, psychedelic mushrooms,and MDMA , and hooliganism. However, due to the technology boom of the first part of 21st century, the real estate market in the Haight has experienced a high rate of growth, with a single family condo averaging around one million dollars as of 2014. The housing market is continuing to renovate and beautify, as many urban professionals seek to live in the centrally located neighborhood of San Francisco. The cohabitation between throw-backs to the Fifties lounge scene, organic and spiritual New Age ambiance of the Sixties, rock and roll politics and computer culture is one of the neighborhood's most interesting and endearing aspects socially and artistically.
The Red Victorian hotel is also a popular attraction. An independent theater of the same name operated about a block away from the hotel from 1980 to 2011.[28]
The neighborhood is home to many restored Victorian houses. Painted Lady Victorians are a common sight throughout the neighborhood.
The Haight-Ashbury Street Fair is held on the second Sunday of June each year attracting thousands of people, during which Haight Street is closed between Stanyan and Masonic to vehicular traffic, with one sound stage at each end.[29]

Biography Source: ncpedia.org
The first North Carolina governor elected to consecutive four-year terms and the state's longest serving chief executive with sixteen years in office, James B. Hunt, Jr. (1937- ) assumed the moderately progressive mantle of his Democratic predecessors by placing emphasis on education, economic development, and highways. In his third and fourth terms, Hunt, by then jokingly called by some "governor for life," championed child care and, acceding to perceived wishes of the voters, recast himself as a conservative with an increased emphasis on cutting taxes and reducing crime.
Jim Hunt was born on May 16, 1937, in Greensboro to soil conservationist James Baxter Hunt and the former Elsie Brame, a schoolteacher. When he was still of preschool age, the family moved to a farm at Rock Ridge outside Wilson. Raised in the Free Will Baptist Church, Hunt joined the Presbyterian Church as an adult. In 1959 and 1962 he earned degrees from North Carolina State College, completing a master's thesis which dealt with the economics of tobacco production. In 1964 Hunt earned a law degree at the University of North Carolina. He and his wife, the former Carolyn Leonard whom he married in 1958, then moved to Nepal where for two years he worked as an economic adviser to the government under a Ford Foundation grant. Jim and Carolyn Hunt are the parents of four.
Observers of politics routinely comment on Hunt's ambition and desire to win, reflected in his early political drive. Eleven-year-old Hunt helped his family campaign for Kerr Scott. At N.C. State he took part in the Terry Sanford campaign and while in law school he worked for Richardson Preyer. On passing the bar Hunt joined a law firm in Wilson. In 1968 he served as president of the state's Young Democrats. In 1970 Governor Robert W. Scott appointed him to chair a commission to revise the state party's rules. In 1972, a year when Republicans took the presidency, the governorship, and a U.S. Senate seat, Hunt was elected lieutenant governor. In that office he helped guide expansion of the kindergarten program through the legislature. In 1976 Hunt defeated businessmen Edward O'Herron and Thomas Strickland and legislator George Wood in the Democratic gubernatorial primary without a runoff. He gained 65% of the vote against Republican David Flaherty in the general election. In a brief, 450-word inaugural address in 1977, Hunt called for a "new beginning" and citizen involvement in government. The governor established a Primary Reading Program as part of his education reforms that included teacher pay raises and competency testing for teachers and students. The N.C. School of Science of Mathematics, a residential high school for gifted students and a Hunt innovation, opened in 1980. The governor launched efforts to recruit high technology businesses and established the Microelectronics Center in 1980. Hunt declined to stay executions in capital punishment cases and in 1978 reduced the prison sentences of the "Wilmington Ten," convicted of a firebombing related to racial unrest in the Port City.
In 1977 voters approved an amendment to the state constitution permitting the governor to serve two consecutive four-year terms. In 1980 Hunt ran for reelection and withstood a primary challenge from former Governor Robert W. Scott. In the fall he defeated Republican nominee I. Beverly Lake, Jr., son of 1960 and 1964 contender I. Beverly Lake, Sr. In 1981 Hunt created North Carolina 2000, a commission chaired by former UNC President William C. Friday, to study future needs of the state. With Hunt's backing the legislature, after a divisive debate, in 1983 approved a three-cent gasoline tax increase with the funds earmarked for highway improvements. Economic development remained central to Hunt's agenda in his second term. In 1984 Hunt oversaw the 400th anniversary commemoration of the Roanoke voyages. The state zoo expanded and the film office oversaw increased production.
In 1984 Governor Hunt challenged Senator Jesse Helms for the U.S. Senate seat held by Helms since 1972. The contenders spent over $26 million on the race, mostly on television advertising, making it the costliest Senate campaign in the nation to that date. The two met in a notable series of televised debates. In the end Helms triumphed by a 52% - 48% margin. Editors of the Almanac of American Politics reasoned that the state's voters "preferred Helms's principled advocacy over Hunt's pragmatic problem-solving." Out of office for the first time in twelve years Hunt returned to the practice of law and spent more time on his Wilson County farm. As governor Hunt had established a national reputation as an education reformer and as a private citizen he remained active in that movement.
In 1992 Hunt defeated Attorney General Lacy Thornburg in the Democratic primary and Republican Lieutenant Governor James C. Gardner in the general election to regain the governor's office. In his third inaugural address Hunt stressed childhood development and touted a program tagged "Smart Start," whereby counties create and implement plans to improve child care. Early in his term he called a special session of the legislature devoted to crime. The Republican gains in the 1994 legislative elections, giving the GOP a majority in the state House, led Hunt to seek common ground with the new lawmakers.
In 1996 Hunt defeated Congressman Robin Hayes in his bid to retain his seat. A constitutional amendment approved that same year made him the first North Carolina governor with veto power, an authority he did not exercise in his final four years. In his fourth term Hunt pushed to raise teacher pay to the national average and to increase student test scores. Unprecedented damage caused by Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Floyd in 1999 tested Hunt's leadership skills. After a generation in the public eye, he left office in 2001 as one of the most familiar and durable actors ever on the stage of North Carolina politics.

4) Spokes
- Spokescouncil – have responsibility for making everyday decisions related to occupation
- since our focus is on movement not occupation, should we be a spoke?
- yet emergency response to other occupations comes through movement building
- interocc is going to become more and more essential
- our ability to function as an occupation is related to all of the other occupations ability to function
- are all funding decisions going to be going through spokescouncil?
- a clarification needs to happen re:
- write down justification of why we should be on the spokescouncil for the person
- Trinity Church Friday night 7:30pm
- David, Michael, Tammy, Maralena will go to the Spokescouncil
our occupation is only successful in so far as other occupations are successful
significant that we are providing support to tother occupations via rsoures and response that operational group (they are part of operations of occupations) need for support and outreach provided by movement building, connecting to operation groups is essential to providing support
our role is interocupational may evolve
movement building is helping logistics of all occupations including liberty plaza – direct link to all occupations – and is strengthening occupations
tech has asked us to come up with contact list and compile for CiviCRM of all contacts
website link to coaching group – this helps people hook up with groups they will start working with
this is only group working on inter-group communications – the movement is all about networking in the country – this group is central to that
resources and response – will get to a point other groups will also help us – need to recognize that other groups will be helping us
we have been a fielding house for people who have been involved in movements around the world and make that relevant to other working groups – we are helping to connect us to other movements, which is critical to our operations
important to stick to the most important points
- every Thursday night – interocc group conference call – doodle up on website – connect DA, media, tech, facilitation, emerging occuations
4) Infiltration
- very often the larger scale strategic planning is target of more sophisticated infiltration efforts
- as group is small – create conscious relationship around openness, honesty,
- might get an email think is someone from group – incite you against that person
2 kinds of infiltration
1. to suck information is completely open – it is very easy to record everything that is here
2. People who come in and start moving the group in different direction or derailing the process
need to start meeting more informally
Sunday night 10pm Franklin Park
5) Communique / GA Presentation
6) Budget for Subgroups? Think about it, by next Thursday have a rough idea of what your MB subgroup needs.
7) What Are We Actually Empowered To Do As MB? Are We The Official CoC?

I have the pure yellow, as well as the bi-color r. foetida.
They are growing together in a tangled thicket, some 25' long and 12' wide. I need information on how to propagate these, especially the yellow ones. Right now, they are blooming; so, I can tell which are the yellow and which are the bi-color. The flowers will be gone in probably two weeks, leaving a developing hip in their place. My wife has ordered me to kill the entire "useless, brier patch." But I want to sneakily save a few plants. I need help in the propagation techniques -- how to. I've successfully propagated flowers by stem cuttings and also leaf cuttings. I tried the former with these a few years ago, but without success. I can't get to where the plants comes out of the ground to dig suckers--I'd have to fight my way through very dense briers. I need your advise. (It seems like a shame to kill these plants--they've been here at least 50 years.) --maybe I didn't do the stem cuttings correctly? I wasn't sure how to do it with the flowers all being in a line on a cane. The leaf nodes are about 1" apart. The flowers appear ever 2" or so. The canes are unbranched. Thanks,

how are you going to kill the patch without being able to get at the roots? Perhaps you should prune the whole thing, then you should be able to get at the roots to dig a few and kill the others. Or prune all the bits you want to kill. |
I'm supposed to hit it with round-up brush killer. Then dig it all out when dead. Pruning is a good idea. That may give me another season, with small plants. When they bloom, I can separate the pure yellow ones from the red/yellow ones. Right now though, I could really use help on propagation. Some flowers are still on the plants and I can find the yellow ones. However, they are so tangled with the bronze (red/yellow)ones that I can't trace the canes of the r. lutea back to its roots. Any suggestions on what kind of to take and how to get cuttings going right now? Bob |

One Direction Agrees Niall Horan is the 'Cute One': 'He's the One We Feel Almost Maternal Toward'
One Direction has finally confirmed what millions of Directioners already know: Niall Horan is the cute one.
"There is no doubt Niall is the cute one," Louis Tomlinson told The Daily Mail.
"I feel really protective toward Niall," added Liam Payne.
"Yeah, in the nicest possible way, I would much rather see any of us punched than Niall," joked Tomlinson.
Despite being the youngest in the group, bandmate Harry Styles told the UK paper he would do anything to protect Horan from harm. "If you saw someone go to punch Niall, you would just go psycho," he said.
"I'd kill him," added Payne.
"'I don't know what it is, but even though he isn't the youngest, he's the one we feel almost maternal toward," said Zayn Malik.
However, now that Horan's status as "The Cute One" has been confirmed, is it safe to say Styles is still "The Ladies Man?" The 18-year-old admitted flirting has always been "second nature" for him, but reports of his womanizing ways have been greatly exaggerated by the media.
"I guess I go out in London," explained Styles. "Quite a lot of the girls I get photographed with are just friends and then, according to the papers, I have, like, 7,000 girlfriends."
Surprisingly, the lads seem to agree Styles has been "taking over from Liam as the sensible one." Meanwhile, Payne is arguably the "competitive one." The 19-year-old recently broke up with his girlfriend of two years, dancer Danielle Peazer."It's a little bit hard to talk about. A bit tough," he told The Daily Mail.
However, when it comes to lasting relationships, the boys will always have each other. According to Malik -- "The Organized One" -- their closeness is a result of four out of the five of them being "the only boys in our family , apart from Niall, whose brother is seven years older than him anyway."
One Direction is currently gearing up for the release of their sophomore album, Take Me Home, which slated to be released on Nov. 13. In spring 2013, the boys will begin their sold-out world tour in the UK.

I live in Brooklyn, NY (zone 6). I just learned that the house that was torn down in the lot diagonally behind mine will be replaced with a 3 story condo unit! so now I need mote privacy then a 6' fence can provide...
My yard is pretty small 40' x 40' so I need a tall tree with somewhat of a wide canopy that starts high up with a thin trunk. I prefer an evergreen... Any suggestions? |

Leylandii cypress are fast growing evergreen conifers that could be limbed up but you'd have to plant several to get wide coverage. Most shade trees are deciduous and slow growing. what about some sort of garden structure like a pergola or arbor to block the view from above? Would shade your yard but that might be a good thing. |
Possibly evergreen sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana var. australis) would work for you. A landscaper or nursery may be able to get a large specimen through a broker, if there is not one on hand in the area already. I would say generally deciduous trees are faster than coniferous (and other) evergreens, at least in cold climates. Some broadleaf evergreens in mild climates are very fast, gums (Eucalyptus) being a familiar example where I live, but generally the yards per year growth rates are made by kinds like poplars and willows in the North. Rather than planting a coarse tree that will overwelm your lot buy a big specimen of a slower, more refined one (like sweetbay). |

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is considering running a candidate in the country's presidential elections set for May 23-24.
Last year, the Islamist party pledged not to field a candidate in an effort to quiet fears that it's seeking to control the country.
Now the group said none of the candidates are worthy of its support and it may have to run one of its own.
Mahmoud Hussein, the Brotherhood's general secretary, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that his group has been "forced to consider the option of fielding a candidate from its own ranks."
The Brotherhood already controls both houses of parliament.
Critics have warned the Brotherhood against taking too much on itself just a year after it emerged from decades of operating in the shadows as an illegal organization.
Egypt's ruling military council has retained certain presidential powers, and it may choose to act if it sees one political party, like the Brotherhood, move too far and too fast.
Under Egypt's interim constitution, the parliament doesn't have the power to take a no-confidence vote in the military's hand-picked government.

Heidelberg to Present a New Sheetfed Offset Press in the 70x100 cm Format #Ipex
April 22, 2010HEIDELBERG, GERMANY—04/22/2010—Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be showcasing the Speedmaster CX 102 at Ipex 2010. This will mark the world premiere of a new printing press for industrial offset printing with a production speed of 16,500 sheets per hour. The new machine joins the ranks between the Speedmaster SM 102 and Speedmaster CD 102 with a maximum speed of 13,000 sph, respectively 15,000 sph, and the Speedmaster XL 105 with a maximum speed of 18,000 sph. This press puts the finishing touch to the Heidelberg 70x100 cm format and offers the perfect solution for every press speed and level of productivity. The Speedmaster CX 102 addresses both commercial and packaging printers and can be ordered as of Ipex 2010.
Consistent platform strategy and the best of two worlds
Although Heidelberg customers have long been able to equip tried-and-tested presses in the Speedmaster SM and CD 102 series with individual Speedmaster XL 105 components to boost productivity, Heidelberg has gone one step further by incorporating peak performance technology from the Speedmaster XL 105 into the design of the CX 102. In addition to familiar XL technologies such as the fully-automated Preset Plus Feeder and Delivery and dynamic sheet brake, high-performance components such as the gripper system and cylinder bearings, which were previously available exclusively for the XL platform, are now also incorporated for the first time. The construction of the printing units has also been reinforced to ensure smooth running at maximum speed and to prevent disruptive vibrations.
"With the introduction of the Speedmaster XL 105, we have successfully established a completely new performance class in the last few years. Right from the start, the Speedmaster SM 102 and CD 102 series have benefited from the achievements we made in XL development," explains Stephan Plenz, Member of the Heidelberg Management Board and responsible for the equipment sector. "Thanks to the host of innovations and new maximum speed of 16,500 sheets per hour, the Speedmaster CX 102 is an interesting option for anyone who is impressed with the XL technology and wants to combine it with the benefits of the CD 102 platform. The Speedmaster CD 102, CX 102 and XL 105 machines are enabling us to achieve a unique level of market coverage worldwide and to offer our customers an optimum combination of price and performance."
Versatile performance
The new Speedmaster CX 102 impresses with both its high productivity and excellent versatility. It can handle flimsy papers, stiff board and a wide range of plastic materials. Its modular design enables flexible, customized machine configurations. In fact, the Speedmaster CX 102 caters for all requirements - from conventional straight presses through to Duo configurations with a coating unit before the offset units. No matter whether customers opt for UV operation, mixed operation with conventional and UV inks or a dual-coating press, this solution offers a wide range of inline finishing options right through to cold foil application with FoilStar. These properties make this press the ideal choice for packaging printing, label printing and high-quality commercial jobs.
Fit for the future
A consistently high production speed only really pays off when the accompanying processes, such as make-ready, can also be performed efficiently. That is why the CX 102 can be integrated seamlessly into the Prinect workflow and delivers excellent ergonomic benefits and a wide range of automated functions, e.g. for plate and ink changes or sheet travel.
Press control takes place via the high-performance Prinect Press Center and Intellistart, the process-oriented operator guidance system. As with the XL 105, communication with all the machine components and auxiliaries takes place via the decentralized Sheetfed Control press control system. Prinect Inpress Control, the spectrophotometric inline measuring system, is key to significantly reducing makeready times and paper waste on the Speedmaster CX 102. The color and register are controlled in a closed loop on the fly and kept constant throughout the entire production run.
High productivity and comprehensive environmental protection
Only a holistic approach can improve environmental performance. In addition to focusing environmental protection concepts on the printing process, Heidelberg also factors them into the development and production of its equipment. Improved energy efficiency, a long service life, low consumption of resources and auxiliary materials, and lower emissions all played a key role in the development of the Speedmaster CX 102 and the integrated Star peripherals. The Speedmaster CX 102 is ideal for reduced-alcohol and alcohol-free printing, for instance, while peripherals such as the AirStar or CombiStar make a major contribution to boosting the press's energy efficiency. Inline color measuring systems such as Prinect Inpress Control reduce paper waste on average by 100 up to 150 sheets per print job and lower the level of CO2 emissions significantly. What's more, Heidelberg offers customers the chance to help the environment further still by purchasing emission credits from climate protection projects. This carbon offsetting makes good the greenhouse gas emissions generated during the press production process.
Heidelberg will be introducing the Speedmaster CX 102 on the occasion of Ipex 2010. This will mark the world premiere of a new printing press for industrial offset printing with a production speed of 16,500 sheets per hour. The new press, which manages flimsy papers, stiff board and a wide range of plastic materials as well, convinces by its high productivity and its versatility.
For the first time, the Speedmaster CX 102 will include high-performance components, which were previously reserved for the XL platform. In addition to familiar XL technologies, such as the fully-automated Preset Plus Feeder and Delivery, completely new components, for example a fortified printing unit construction, have been implemented.
The new Speedmaster CX 102 has been designed in a modular way, enabling flexible, customized machine configurations. The press will be available in various configurations: from a conventional straight press to a Duo configurations with coating unit before offset units. Striking attributes are the side covers with beeds.
Complete portfolio and a unique level of market coverage worldwide: With the Speedmaster CD 102, CX 102 and XL 105 presses, Heidelberg offers the optimum combination of price and performance each for the customers' individual requirements.
Heidelberg at Ipex 2010:
The terms HEI Performance and HEI Value reflect the extensive portfolio of state-of-the-art technologies and services from Heidelberg for the economical and environmentally friendly production of print products. At the trade show, the company will be providing practical demonstrations to highlight how media service providers, print shops, and postpress specialists can act on current market trends and adapt their portfolios accordingly. Heidelberg will be demonstrating how to optimize business and production processes across the entire value added chain of sheetfed offset printing, while also minimizing their environmental impact.
The numerous practical demonstrations will enable visitors to the event to find out how they can achieve economic success with short-run high-end print applications, stand out from the crowd with creative print applications, and make the Internet an integral part of their business strategy.

Look Out Stern, Here Comes Todd McFarlane
Todd Plays Sixth Man on ESPN's 'Sports Grille' Radio Show
May 2, 2000
It's said that the average person will change careers several times. Well, we all know Todd's not average, but he started a new career April 20 - radio talk show host.
Don't worry, Todd's not throwing in the toy towel. However, when either Ron Wolfley or Dave Burns, hosts of Phoenix-based ESPN Radio 860 KMVP's "The Sports Grille," can't do their afternoon show, Todd, schedule permitting, will come off the bench to co-host the four-hour program.
"Ron and I talked about this a few weeks ago, and it finally worked out that I could sit in for him when he was traveling to cover an Arizona Rattlers arena football game last week," Todd said. "It was great spending four straight hours talking sports."
No stranger to sports and talk radio, Todd is a regular guest on The Grille, calling in or going in-studio every few weeks. During the broadcast, Todd interacted with guests, callers and talked with Phoenix Suns Coach Scott Skiles and the team's president Bryan Colangelo.
"He clearly knew his stuff," said Dave, who would welcome Todd back anytime. "It was refreshingly different to co-host a show with a part-owner (of the Edmonton Oilers). Any doubts about how much he would know were quickly gone. He came to the table armed with a vast knowledge of sports."
One segment involved a regular weekly feature with Pierre McGuire, the "NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Insider" for the station. Pierre, who is the former coach of the Hartford Whalers and serves as color commentator for the Montreal Canadiens, gives weekly insight on the NHL playoffs. Pierre, Todd and Dave hit it off well, discussing hockey, the Oilers and the playoff situation as it stood last week. Pierre even commented that he's read several of Todd's comic books and wished him well on behalf of the Oilers' first-round playoff series, which ended the next day.
Todd was a fixture of sports radio last week. He was also on Sports Byline USA with Ron Barr on April 19. During that show, which has become the most popular radio sports talk show in the country with a national market covering more than 250 affiliates and nearly 2 million listeners each week, Todd talked about sports collectibles and The McFarlane Collection.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sammy!
Facts about Sammy
- Breed: Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Sammy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Sammy is an adorable, 5 year old shih tzu. He is a low energy dog, very loveable. He loves attention, but is equally happy justt quietly relaxing. Sammy is playful, great with kids and other dogs. He does not like the crate and will cry quitely for you to let him out, but once he knows everyone is going to bed, he is ok sleeping in there. He is most comfortable on the pillow or in bed.. Sammy appears to be potty trained. Sammy is posted as a courtesy. If you are interested, please contact his rescue directly at email@example.com.
Other Pets at Rookie's Rescue -
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sammy, a Ballston Spa Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Ballston Spa, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Ballston Spa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ballston Spa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ballston Spa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ballston Spa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Drills buying guide
The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

In a first-of-its-kind film in Mollywood, Nithya Men0n, who shot to fame in Kollywood with Nootrenbadhu, will play the role of a village girl, whose daily life will be shot and aired over a month.
Reminds you of Jim Carrey's The Truman Show? While Jim's film revolved around the life of a man who was initially unaware that he was living in a television show that was broadcast throughout the world, TK Rajeev Kumar's Thalsamayam Oru Pennkutty is based along similar lines, just that the Veppam actress is aware that she is constantly being filmed.
"In this film, Nithya plays a village girl who is chosen from among 12 others for a unique reality show that would broadcast her everyday life for a month," explains Manuel George. He, along with Sunny Joseph, has scripted for this film. Shweta Menon, who is doing a cameo in director Vasanthabalan's Aravaan, is also part of this Malayalam flick.

In addition to being the go-to 'it girl' for every major film coming out in the next ten years, Jennifer Lawrence also seems to be the go-to girl for book-to-film adaptations. Starring in Winter's Bone, The Hunger Games, The Silver Linings Playbook and X-Men, Lawrence is no stranger to the written word being translated onto the big screen. Now the actress is being touted as the possible lead in the film adaptation of Jeannette Walls bestseller, Glass Castle. As someone who read (and cried her way) through the Glass Castle, Lawrence is the perfect pick for the role.
Glass Castle spent 250 weeks on the bestseller list, a record-breaking feat for a memoir. In the Glass Castle, Walls, now a reporter, chronicles her poverty-stricken childhood spent being raised by her eccentric parents, while Walls struggled with her brother and sisters to survive. Kinda like District 12, except no one has to fight to the death.
