Jeff Cannon spent a lot of lonely laps in front of the late-model field during Saturday night's feature at Illiana Speedway.
He really didn't mind.
"I wasn't real sad. Last week was fun but it was a little nerve-wracking. It's nice to win one," a smiling Cannon said, referring to the May 31 side-by-side event in which he lost by a fraction of a second to Eddie Hoffman.
The victory was Cannon's second of the season, moving him into the points lead over Eddie Hoffman.
There wasn't much to this one. Cannon started a few rows back, but quickly found his way to early leader Phil Splant. A restart after a yellow flag on lap five afforded him an opportunity to beat Splant via the low side.
The rest of the way all he had to do was keep a steady pace.
"Things just kind of worked our way," Cannon said. "At the beginning we were able to pick our way through traffic pretty good. Everybody was good to us about giving us a lane to race in."
Not so happy was eventual runner-up Anthony Danta. Danta, who won Friday night's feature at Grundy County Speedway, was equally fast at Illiana in his No. 51. He lost a lot of sheet metal, however, in a pace lap encounter with Bobby Gash.
"If he didn't run into you under the pace lap you might have a better shot," an agitated Danta said. "It's just a shame that you get wrecked under yellow for no reason.
"Something in the steering's bent, the door was knocked off for no reason. We're not even racing at that point. We had a car to win [Saturday]. Now I have a wrecked car."
Despite the damage, Danta was able to wheel by Hoffman and take over second place on lap 12. He made up some distance on Cannon, but was still 0.792 seconds behind Cannon at the finish. Hoffman was third, followed by Chris King, Splant and Ryan Hill.
Melissa Keuhs claimed the first pure stocks feature win of her career. She did it after an early race pass on her husband, David, to take the lead.
"I beat him every week," she said, laughing. "He spends so much time on my car that he doesn't work on his. This one felt really good all the way."
Kevin Sisk was the closest to Keuhs at the finish. Third went to Phil Sallay, ahead of Colin Robinson, Mark Ross Jr., and Tom Crawford Jr.
Turbo Stox points leader Chris Woodall made quick work of the field in a 20-lap main, beating Ryan Moore by 5.273 seconds. Billy Jarrells, Rita Fields, Michael Gerike and Bobby Gash II completed the top six.
Stan Zolodz IV bounced back from a mid-race crash with Ben Fidone to chase down and pass Paul Shafer Sr., with just three laps remaining and claim his third Legends feature. Shafer held on for second ahead of Jason Ellis.
A bumper-to-bumper battle on the final lap saw Kenny Meyer edge out Cole Sutton in the bandoleros main.

Just planted geraniums for the first time - am very ambivalent about them. The gardeners were supposed to plant 4 or 6 but planted 9 instead.
In trying to restructure the plantings in one of my beds, I was a bit rough with moving one and the plant "separated" from its roots - really, much to my surprise, I was left holding the plant while the base and roots - which were exposed - were left on the ground. I don't like to kill plants - especially perfectly healthy ones - so feel a bit guilty (although, once again, I really don't care for geraniums). I did bury the roots in the ground and stuck the plant in as well just in case the blasted thing sets roots here and there and can take off again. Can you help me determine if the plant will live? If not, I'll have to rejigger all the other plantings so as not to have this unnatural spacing. Thanks. |

If you are referring to pelargoniums - zonal geraniums - yes, it is very likely both parts of the plant will regrow. But whether or not either or both will develop to an equal size and flowering stage as the remaining undamaged plants this season is up for grabs. If your concern is the uniformity of appearance of the planting and the spacing, then I'd replace the plant(s). |
Gardengal, Thank you so much for your response. It is much appreciated. I had to look up what a pelargonium is - I don't believe mine is one. I have the Cranesbill Rozanne which I understand to be quite hardy. I hope your cheerful message extends to these plants too although the above-ground part of my decapitated geranium is looking quite woeful this morning. I'm not worried about uniformity of appearance this season - they are all uniformly scraggly in their beds at this point; I wanted to know if my less-than-gentle garden behaviour will cost a poor plant its life simply because I couldn't bring myself to be more careful. I hope it will survive long term and so far what I assume from your message is that it might do. Is that fair for a cranesbill too? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 13, 12 at 14:55
Unfortunately, hardy geraniums/cranesbills do not necessarily act the same as the zonals/pelargoniums. Separation of the root crown from the topgrowth generally spells doom for the plant. If you have any hope at all, it is with the roots. And I think you may have a decent chance with that......plants tend to be amazingly resilient and can take the most appalling abuse (not that yours was the slightest bit intentional!) and still come back fighting. Good luck! |
Bless you gardengal. Your words warm my heart - if the roots do push off a plant, I think I might get lucky and get two because a couple of the shoots associated with the decapitated plant seem to have stabilized with the shoots green a couple of leaves looking jolly good and a couple of the buds starting to perk. I know that conventional wisdom would suggest that I disbud to let the plant focus on developing its infrastructure rather than the energy draining parts but I'm frankly afraid to thwart any part of the plant that still clings to life! Thank you so much for your guidance. |

Persons seeking to gain access or travel upon the River Eamont must first seek permission from the Dalemain Estate Office (017684 86450), failure to do so may lead to legal action as, deemed appropriate by the Eamont Owners' Association members.
Please note that permission will not be made available during the month of November, when salmon are spawning on the river. Permission may also be denied at other times as deemed appropriate i.e. water levels & shooting events. Our gamekeeper Sam Cropper monitors the River Eamont and it's traffic and reports any unauthorised access.
Dragging canoes across the river bed is forbidden as this damages the shale beds and salmon egg beds. Canoes & kayaks must be carried if there is insufficient water. Where access has been arranged well ahead of the trip it is advisable to ring the estate office during dry periods to check if water levels are sufficient for canoeing before setting off for the river.
Canoeists are requested to take care when encountering fishermen on the river and wait for the fisherman to acknowledge their presence and then indicate which side of the river it is safe to pass. Care should always be taken as the flies and hooks being used can be very dangerous.
The river can be accessed from Lake Ullswater, the car park at Pooley Bridge or Pooley Mill (no parking available).

littleBits was founded by Ayah Bdeir, a senior TED fellow who earned her MBA at MIT Media Lab with help from an art grant from EyeBeam Gallery. As an engineer and maker, Ayah saw how fun and fulfilling it could be to build moving art using electronics, but she also wanted to open up this type of play to kids and adults with no engineering experience. littleBits gives people access to the right hardware elements they need to create dynamic art without having to visit an electronics specialty shop or hardware store and sort through bins or match up confusing pieces.
To show what can be done with littleBits, the MoMA Design Store recently transformed their windows into a wonderland of large-scale, kinetic sculptures made with littleBits electronic modules, wood, cardboard, and acrylic. The midtown location window featured a bicyclist pedaling a colorful Ferris wheel alongside several smaller displays, while the SoHo store showed off a mechanical Great White shark chasing a tiny lure.

Made it up by myself. All it really is is the first phrase of rick roll revised: We're no strangers to deadpool. You know the rules, and so do I. A really good meme is what I'm thinking of. And you know that this really isn't one of them. I just wanna tell you what I'm seeing. And it really is just confusing. Now there was either a lack of content or notability. This needs some more RESEARCH! I suggest you do it now, or you can face a ban! And I think you won't like 404!

Cool story, bro.
Oh you so bravely run away, Sir Robin.
Cool story, bro.
Also, I read that in his voice, dang it.
No one has ever been banned because of poorly-written meme entries. Most users are banned for flaming or spamming. The deadpool is just where we put the entries that fail to present a meme, but that's just a quality issue, not a user behavior issue.
It's more like a poem than a song.
Nobody is amused.
I know Real Genius. I know. I screwed up. I wasn't thinking when I made this. But hey, we all screw up at onetime or another, right?

Victim support entails empathic, person-centred assistance rendered by an organisation or individual following an incident of victimisation. The output to be achieved by the goverment's NCPS (National Crime Prevention Strategy) Victim Empowerment Programme (VEP) is a comprehensive model accommodating integrated service delivery for victims of crime and violence according to national standards. The University of South Africa, answering to its function of community service, supports these national initiatives and endeavours to contribute to the development of people working with victims of crime and traumatised employees.
The Short Course in Victim Empowerment and Support, aimed at enhancing skills in trauma intervention and management, has been running since 1998 and is the only of its kind presented by a tertiary institution in South Africa.
The course consists of:
Module 1: Theory of victim empowerment and support in the South African context
This includes:
- a comprehensive theoretical overview of the relatively new field of Victim Empowerment and Support, including both international and South African-specific perspectives
- a 'how to' model of setting up a new victim empowerment initiative at a local level, including the international award winning South African research into best practices on how to translate the VEP into practice in order to ensure the success of this initiative
- an understanding of what the impact of a traumatic experience is on the victim of, among others, crime and violence, and of the basic tasks and skills required to render empowerment and support services to victims
- an overview of how to manage different categories of victims from a counselling perspective
- an understanding of the different ways of prevention of victimisation in general, in the home, in public, the office, and elsewhere.
Module 2: Workshop in victim empowerment and support in the South African context
The workshop firstly aims to consolidate learning with regard to the theory covered in Module 1. Secondly, the workshop offers opportunities to develop:
- general skills in the empowerment and support of victims; and
- specialised skills in the empowerment and support of victims, with emphasis on the technique of debriefing as a crisis intervention technique.
At the end of the workshop learners will be better equipped to effectively intervene in trauma and crisis situations.
DurationThis is a three month distance education course with a compulsory four-day workshop at the beginning of the second month. The workshops are held at the Unisa Main Campus, Pretoria.
Admission requirementsThe information and skills contained herein aims at addressing the training needs of those who deal with supporting and managing victims of crime, traumatised employees and victims of disaster. Criminal justice officials, mental health workers, lay counsellors, human resources practitioners and mental health professionals (eg: psychologists/social workers). In short, this course is for people who desire the knowledge, skills and attitude to contribute to crime- and violence prevention.

Brown Leaders in Education
The Women's College
Further Expansion
President Andrews's summons in his 1892 report to the Corporation may serve to introduce the central theme in Brown's twentieth century history:
Brown University has reached a serious crisis in its history. It stands face to face with the question whether it will remain a College and nothing more or will rise and expand into a true University ... Our alma mater will fail of her proper privilege and destiny unless, as rapidly as is consistent with a healthy development, we promote her to the estate of a true University.
To accomplish this transformation became Andrews's principal goal. Productive faculty with American Ph.Ds could now be recruited from respected graduate programs. The elective system allowed for multiplication of course offerings. The 1890s witnessed the most serious depression in American history prior to 1929, beginning with the "Panic of 1893" only a year after Andrews had proclaimed his vision. Its impact on Brown would be twofold: fund raising was impeded, while at the same time, as never before in any depression era, college enrollment rose.
Andrews had always faced critics in the Corporation, and their influence grew as finances worsened. His endorsement of bimetallism and silver coinage became the occasion in 1897 for a request that he refrain from such statements. He resigned, and the ensuing controversy became one of the major academic freedom crises of the century. Many (but not all) of the Brown faculty, along with educators from across the country, condemned the Corporation's action. Andrews was persuaded to remain for one more year, but his usefulness had ended.
His successor, William Herbert Perry Faunce, was persuaded to leave the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church in New York at this difficult juncture. He remained for thirty years - the longest administration in Brown's history. At first he appeared remarkably successful. Faculty departures in the wake of the Andrews crisis were minimal. But presidential leadership was for years inadequate to the needs of an institution becoming ingrown, unresponsive to currents that were transforming American higher education. When Faunce resigned in 1929, his successor, Clarence A. Barbour, was appointed with little reflection. The 1929 crash ended hopes for substantial fund raising.
The arrival in 1937 of Henry Merritt Wriston, the first non-Baptist president and first non-alumnus since Francis Wayland, once again provided Brown with effective leadership. Since 1925 he had been president of Lawrence College, which he dominated. At Brown he gave for wide rein to strong departmental chairs in the faculty renewal process which gathered momentum after World War II. Charter revision was completed and eighteenth-century denominational restrictions eliminated. Wriston's presidency marked a turning point for the university. He moved an institution long isolated in its development into challenging relations with foundations, peer institutions, and intellectual currents which were rapidly transforming the American educational system.
(Class of 1870), president of Denison University, 1875-1879, of Brown University, 1889-1898, and chancellor of the University of Nebraska, 1900-1908. He rescued Denison University from possible extinction as a small Baptist college caught in the trend toward state-supported colleges, and appointed non-Baptist William Rainey Harper to the faculty. Coming back to Brown as president, he had lofty ambitions designed to raise the institution from an undergraduate college to the rank of a true University. He urged the raising of three million dollars to finance graduate fellowships, a library fund, increased faculty salaries, new professorships, the establishment of a women's college and a school of applied science. Although this fund did not materialize, Andrews' accomplishments at Brown included an increase of 140 per cent in undergraduate enrollment, the acquisition of a distinguished faculty, the rapid growth of graduate study, and the admission of women students, which was accomplished through his personal efforts after years of consideration.E. Benjamin Andrews
The University of Nebraska, under his presidency, made strong gains in enrollment, state support, renowned faculty, and the creation of colleges of medicine and education.
In 1889 he headed a committee to promote a new University of Chicago (the former University of Chicago founded in 1857 had closed in 1886). His intercession with John D. Rockefeller on behalf of a new Baptist University in Chicago, rather than in New York, obtained initial support, and it was Rockefeller's additional donation for graduate and theological studies and the acquisition of William Harper Rainey (now a Baptist) as president which created a full-fledged university from the outset.
William Herbert Perry Faunce (Class of 1880), president of Brown University, 1899-1929. His thirty-year administration saw tremendous growth in the physical plant, accompanied by considerable increase in the number of men, women, and graduates students (858 in 1899 - 2,201 in 1929) and the number of teaching and other staff (89 in 1800 -- 230 in 1929).
Clarence A. Barbour (Class of 1888), president of Rochester Theological Seminary, 1915-1928, of Colgate Rochester Divinity School, 1928-1929, and of Brown University, 1929-1937. Under his administration at Rochester the Seminary expanded and conducted a successful campaign for additional endowment. He was instrumental in the merger in 1928 of Colgate Theological Seminary and Rochester Theological Seminary to form the Colgate Rochester Divinity School, of which he was briefly president before coming to Brown. One of his first actions at Brown was to arrange a survey of all departments to determine the state of the University, in hope of beginning an endowment campaign. Of his Brown presidency he said, "I came to Brown with lofty dreams and with visions of things to be accomplished. Almost at once we were struck with the most terrible depression in the history of the country."
Alexander Meiklejohn (Class of 1893), president of Amherst College, 1913-1923. He was the second Dean of Brown before becoming president of Amherst. Ten years later he resigned, having been voted out by the Faculty. Walter Lippmann noted on his departure, "Amherst has lost a fine educator and a great spiritual leader of youth, because he was an unsuccessful leader of men.... Meiklejohn's Amherst was a machine that simply would not work. But, inefficient as it was, it produced as remarkable a student body as I have ever encountered. Hopeless as it was, it made Amherst one of the most distinguished small colleges in America." He was offered the presidencies of several other colleges, but chose to become head of the University of Wisconsin's Experimental College which featured self-education for students who shared dormitories with faculty who, as advisors rather than teachers, led them in the study of one single topic each year.
Mary Emma Woolley (Class of 1894), president of Mount Holyoke College, 1900-1937. One of the first two women graduates of Brown in 1894. Known as the "second founder of Mount Holyoke" (Mary Lyon was the first), she took over a college which was thought to have lost some of "its genius of innovation," and had also been subjected to a disastrous fire. She revitalized the College -- the faculty had academic titles, the curriculum was more flexible, the College became a member of the College Examination Board and gained a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. The master of arts degree in education was introduced and student government instituted.
John William Beverly (Class of 1894), teacher and president of the Alabama State Normal School, from which he graduated in 1882. He returned to the Normal School after graduating from Brown and served as teacher of mathematics and philosophy and in later years as president, resigning in 1923 to teach at Prairie View College.
John Hope (Class of 1894), president of Morehouse, 1906-1931, and of Atlanta University, 1929-1936. He was the first black president of Atlanta Baptist College, which became Morehouse University. In 1929 he became president of Atlanta University, at the same time that Atlanta University, Morehouse College for men, and Spelman College for women agreed to affiliate and form the Atlanta University System, which would share facilities while maintaining separate administrations. This was accomplished only on the condition that Hope would head the whole system. He gave up the presidency of Morehouse in 1931 to devote his attention to Atlanta University, the only Southern university providing graduation education to black students.
Harvey Nathaniel Davis (Class of 1901), president of Stevens Institute of Technology, 1928-1951. He revised the studies at Stevens from the "single undergraduate curriculum" it had followed since 1870, and introduced economics, humanities, and a graduate curriculum.
John Brown Watson (Class of 1904), president of Leland College, 1923-1928, and of Arkansas A & M College, 1928-1942. He became president of Arkansas AM and N after the severance of its ties with the University of Arkansas in 1927. He redeemed its academic standing, returning its four-year program and reinstating the conferring of degrees, which had been dropped since 1902 when the school was reduced to a vocational school for boys with a homemaking curriculum for girls. Twenty-five years after his graduation from Brown he finished repaying through the Alumni Fund all of the scholarship aid he had received - $225.
William Dinkins (Class of 1912), president of Selma University, 1927-1950. The son of an earlier president of Selma, he began teaching there after graduating from Brown, and remained there for a lifetime interrupted only for service in World War I and earning a master's degree from Columbia. He led the University under various titles, Acting President, Executive Officer, and President, from 1927 to 1950. He was the first layman to serve the school, which encompassed all levels of education, primary, secondary, and college. When Dinkins retired the enrollment stood at 668, 331 assigned to the College and 351 to affiliated schools.
Samuel Nabrit (Sc.M. 1928, Ph.D. 1932), president of Texas Southern University, 1955-1966. The first African American to earn a Ph.D. at Brown, he taught at Atlanta University for twenty years before going to Texas.
Henry Merritt Wriston, president of Brown University 1937-1955. President Henry Wriston had much influence on higher education, because of his special talent for selecting and training young administrators both at Lawrence College and at Brown who went on to be presidents of other major institutions. From Lawrence came Victor Butterfield, president of Wesleyan, John Millis, president of the University of Vermont and Western Reserve, and Nathan Pusey, president of Lawrence and Harvard. From Brown Barnaby Keeney, who succeeded Wriston at Brown, James Coles, president of Bowdoin, Vernon Alden, president of Ohio University, and John Lederle, president of the University of Massachusetts. The group in the photograph includes, left to right, Wriston, Keeney, Butterfield, and Coles.
Vernon Alden (Class of 1945), president of Ohio University, 1962-1969. Among his accomplishments at Ohio University six branch campuses were developed, the enrollment on the main campus and the number of faculty members both doubled, while the University's financial assets and its land holdings both tripled. When he retired, the University named its new library for him.
Charles H. Watts II (Class of 1945, president of Bucknell University, 1964-1976. His years as Dean of the College at Brown from 1958 to 1962 prepared him for the administration of Bucknell. After completing a 15-million capital campaign, the most ambitious in the history of Bucknell, he returned to Brown as the Director of the Campaign for Brown in 1978.Frank J. Newman (Class of 1947), president of the University of Rhode Island, 1974-1983. As President of the Education Commission of the States in 1985, he issued a report, "Higher Education and the American Resurgence," for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, on the subject of the effectiveness of higher education and the need for a national policy. in which he stated, "The enduring and honorable American tradition of opportunity through education must function for the whole of the population. This requires higher education to do a better job of drawing people from all segments of society into those programs that lead to positions of leadership in the life of the country."
Women students were first admitted in 1891. The question of their admission was first considered in 1874, and brought up annually after that time, until finally in September 1891 the Corporation adopted a plan submitted by the Faculty by which "young women might be admitted to college examinations and receive certificates of proficiency in the same." They had not, however, made any provision for the teaching of the women. That was accomplished by President E. Benjamin Andrews, who personally arranged for classes taught by Brown professors to prepare them for the examinations. In September of 1891 he wrote a note including the
schedule of classes to Nettie
Goodale, one of the first women students to enroll.
The admission of women was followed in a few years by the appointment of the first woman faculty member, Ada G. Wing, instructor in comparative anatomy and physiology for the women students, 1896-1900, and assistant professor, 1900-1901. |
World War I brought new personnel, students, and courses to the campus, introducing a war time curriculum for the students who were enlisted on active service. In addition, in the summer of 1918 the University remained open in order to teach 320 men sent by the government to take science courses at Brown and to train in the machine shops at Brown and the Rhode Island School of Design.
The Second World War brought about year-round operation with three semesters and an influx of students assigned to the Navy's V-1, V-7, and V-12 programs. Also two groups of premeteorologists of the 58th Army Air Force Technical Training Detachment, who were not students, were trained at Brown between May 1943 and May 1944.
In the summer of 1941, in response to a reported need for applied mathematicians in industry, a summer program of Advanced Instruction and Research in Mechanics was organized with the support of the U.S. Office of Education and the Carnegie Foundation. An evaluating committee which was appointed to appraise the success of the experiment recommended the continuation of the program, which became the Division of Applied Mathematics. The photograph shows key personnel of the program, left to right, Professor Jacob D. Tamarkin from Russia, Professor Willy Prager from Germany, and Dean Roland G. D. Richardson of the Graduate School.
The Veterans Extension Division was established in the fall of 1947, to accommodate the many World War II veterans who had been encouraged by the G.I. Bill to seek a college education, some of whom had applied late or with inadequate preparation. The students were thus able to begin their course work with the expectation of being admitted to the regular courses. Only the admission requirements were lowered for this group. The course work and grade requirements were not. As President Wriston greeted them at the first convocation of the year, "You are not stepchildren of Brown.... You are students of Brown University; you have open to you all its educational facilities."

text: The 10 Best Action/Adventure/Suspense/Thriller/Crime flicks youve probably never seenby Howard CreechOct 20, 2004 (Updated Nov 4, 2004) The Bottom Line If you havent seen all (or any) of these films I envy you the discovery of each and every one of them. Action/Adventure/Suspense/Thriller/Crime films are often panned by the critics, but classic flicks like Bullitt, Dirty Harry, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, The French Connection, The Terminator, and The Wild Bunch (along with hundreds of others) fully engage viewers in their fast paced stories, compelling characters, and non-stop action. Action/Adventure/Suspense/Thriller/Crime movies share several fundamental features; the good guys dont always triumph (in fact there sometimes are no good guys) and films of this genre are always about people at risk of death and/or violence. Movies from this genre also (usually) feature a lone wolf protagonist on a single-minded quest for justice, revenge, escape, or survival (buddy films are a variation on this theme). The films listed below are not mainstream action flicks, in fact they are all obscure or underappreciated, but each of them is a classic example of the Action/Adventure/Suspense/Thriller/Crime genre. The movies are listed chronologically, by release date. (1) Point Blank (1967) Directed by John Boorman Starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, Carrol OConnor, Lloyd Bochner, and John Vernon Point Blank opens with professional thief Walker (Lee Marvin) gunned down and left for dead, double crossed after a successful heist, by his cheating wife and friend Reese (John Vernon). Walker survives the betrayal and embarks on a bloody quest for revenge that takes him into the heart of the California underworld. He is assisted in his search for retribution and the stolen loot by informant Keenan Wynn (who has an agenda of his own) and the delectable Angie Dickinson as he brutally unravels the impersonal corporate structure and diverse command levels of a modern-day criminal syndicate. Point Blank was based on The Hunter, a gritty crime novel by Donald Westlake (writing under the pseudonym Richard Stark). The story of an amoral criminal on a dogged quest for vengeance provided the perfect foundation for John Boormans synthesis of post new wave European experimental cinema, a dark noirish and distinctly American protagonist, and the inherent violence and rapid pace of classic American Cowboy and Gangster movies. Point Blank flopped at the box office, but industry professionals saw limitless possibilities in Marvins nihilistic antihero, the moody aura of existential fatalism, and the films surrealistic avant garde style. Boormans austere and violent film actually shares more with Antonionis cutting edge crime film Blow Up than it does with Arthur Penns excellent, but traditional and highly romanticized Bonnie & Clyde (both films were released the same year). Point Blank remains one of the most influential films of the sixties and the granddaddy movie that inspired an entirely new film genre, the action flick. Skip the inferior 1999 re-make (Payback directed by Brian Helgeland) with Mel Gibson in the Lee Marvin role. (2) Charley Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegel Staring: Walter Mathau, Joe Don Baker, Felicia Farr, Andrew Robinson, Sheree North, John Vernon, and Norman Fell Charley Varrick (Walter Mathau) is a small time hustler and crop duster pilot who supplements his meager income with occasional bank robberies. When Charley and his gang (Jacqueline Scott and Andrew Robinson) rob a bank in a small rural New Mexico town two local cops and Mathaus wife die in the ensuing shootout. To further complicate matters the little backwater bank is a front for laundering mob money skimmed from Nevada casinos and the loot belongs to the Mafia. The local Sheriff (Norman Fell) wants the gang because theyre cop killers and the crooked bank President (John Vernon) is determined to find the robbers before the Mafia holds him responsible for the heist. If Charley is going to survive he must outwit the local cops, Vernon, and the sadistic killer (Joe Don Baker) the mob sends to retrieve the loot and kill everyone involved. Siegels direction is flawless, the pace is relentless, the acting is consistently superb, the action is fast and plausible, and the final confrontation between Mathau and Baker is ingenious and satisfying. After Charley Varrick was in the can (ready for release) Universal Pictures management decided they were unhappy with the films amoral story and disturbed that Mathau (best known at that time for his turn as lovable slob Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple) played an unrepentant bad guy. Charley Varrick went straight to the drive-in circuit (the predecessor of straight to video) and thats too bad, because its an excellent film. Mathau turned in one of the best performances of his long career in this gritty crime story. (3) The Yakuza (1975) Directed by Sydney Pollack Starring: Robert Mitchum, Brian Keith, Takakura Ken, and Herb Edelman In The Yakuza, a film about honor, friendship, and obligation, Robert Mitchum plays a middle-aged Private Detective asked by an old army buddy (Brian Keith) to help get his kidnapped daughter back. In one of the best roles in his long and illustrious career Mitchums character returns to Japan for the first time in almost thirty years to help his friend and confront his own tortured past. Once he begins his investigation Mitchum learns that Keiths daughter has been snatched by the shadowy Yakuza (the Japanese Mafia) as leverage in a business dispute. Mitchum soon determines he will need help if hes to accomplish his mission. He asks his former lover, a woman he hasnt seen since his post war occupation days to help him convince former Yakuza Takakura to join him in freeing Keith's daughter. Takakura agrees to help because he feels an obligation to Mitchum for helping his family during the tough times after the war, but their alliance violates the Yakuza code of honor. Japanese gangsters view themselves as the modern day equivalent of the Samurai and their lives and conduct are guided by ancient warrior traditions. The clash of Western and Oriental values forms a strong undercurrent that colors everything in the film. The Yakuza is one of the best action flicks of the seventies. Pollacks pacing is perfect and the script by Robert Towne (Chinatown) and the Schrader brothers sensitively explores the complex clash of cultures. The violence is credible and never gratuitous. Mitchum and Takakura, as two strong warriors who dont like each other at first, turn in equally exceptional performances, as they become allies and then friends. Remade (sort of) as Black Rain in 1987 with Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia. (4) Sorcerer (1977) directed by William Friedkin Staring: Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, Amidou, Ramon Bieri, and Peter Capell When William Friedkin was a young man he saw a French film called Wages of Fear (Le Salaire de la peur) that influenced his decision to become a film director. After the great success of The Exorcist and The French Connection Friedkin had enough Hollywood clout to make any film he wanted. He chose to remake Wages of Fear. Roy Scheider plays an American on the run from the Mafia who ends up working at a remote South American oil-drilling site. When another of the companys wells catches fire, Scheider and three co-workers agree to haul two truckloads of volatile and highly explosive nitroglycerine across two hundred miles of hostile roadless terrain to put out the fire. The four men are desperate to escape the loneliness and oppression of the jungle and if they are successful theyll make enough money to flee back to civilization. Friedkin is famous for his perfect pacing and cinematic craftsmanship and Sorcerer is one of his best. The film is a taut suspenseful mixture of split second timing and death defying stunts as the two trucks navigate mountainous terrain, raging streams, slick clinging mud, and the most incredibly dangerous and unstable bridge ever. One hard jolt and the trucks (with their crews) will disappear in a tower of fire and noise. The action never lets up and the tension builds inexhorably until the riveting climax. This is one of the most suspenseful action films ever made and every cast member gives the performance of a lifetime. The score (by Tangerine Dream) and the grainy cinematography add to the atmosphere of anxiety and apprehension. (5) Outland (1981) directed by Peter Hyams Staring: Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, Frances Sternhagen, James B. Sikking, and John Ratzenberger Critics have been joking for years that Sci-Fi flicks are often nothing more than slightly re-worked cowboy movies. Writer-director Peter Hyams gets in the last laugh by moving one of the most famous cowboy movies of all time, High Noon to Io (one of Jupiters moons) in deep space. After a number of suspicious suicides and violent deaths among the workers at a remote and very profitable commercial mining operation, Marshall ONeill (Sean Connery) is sent to investigate. Connery quickly discovers that mine boss Peter Boyle is giving mine employees a meth-like work-drive enhancing drug that makes them more productive, unfortunately after a few months the workers snap and become extremely violent and self destructive. When Boyle discovers that Connery is going to expose his get rich quick scheme he sends for a squad of killers to terminate the Marshall. Connery (like Gary Cooper) soon discovers that nobody is willing to stand with him against the hired killers. He must fight the most important battle of his life alone. The main difference between High Noon and Outland is that for Connery there is no possibility of escape, unlike Cooper who voluntarily stays to face down the killers because he feels that he must; Connery has nowhere to go. Mine boss Boyle controls all transport on and off the rock so the suspense and tension builds inexorably as the clock ticks down the hours until the arrival of the noon train (in this case the transport ship carrying Boyles thugs). Instead of the false fronted wooden stores, saloons, and hotels along the dusty main street in High Noon, the action in Outland unfolds along miles of super functional lookingindustrial corridors in the gritty vacuum-sealed metal life support cocoon above the mine. Hyams story and direction are completely solid. Connery is (as always) superb in a role that looks as if it were written for him. Sternhagen as the Camp Doctor is appropriately world-weary and Peter Boyle is absolutely sinister as the ultimate practitioner of corporate expediency. (6) Into the Night (1985) Directed by John Landis Staring: Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Aykroyd, Paul Bartel, Cal Worthington (famous L.A. Auto Sales Pitchman), David Cronenberg, John Landis, Paul Mazursky, Roger Vadim, Carl Perkins (Mr. Blue Suede Shoes), Don Siegel (see #2 above), Jim Henson (the Muppet man), David Bowie, Jack Arnold (prolific director of 50s B Sci Fi flicks), Amy Heckerling, Lawrence Kasdan, Richard Farnsworth, Vera Miles, Irene Papas, Clu Gulager, and Jonathan Demme After actor Vic Morrow and two children were killed during the filming of Twilight Zone The Movie director John Landis made Into the night a quirky little thriller starring rising actors Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. Dozens of entertainment industry professionals (see cast list above) jumped on board to show their support for Landis while the L. A. D. A. decided whether or not to hold him personally responsible for the three deaths. This idiosyncratic flick is probably Landis best movie and completely unlike any of his other films. Into the night is an imaginative, darkly funny, and earnestly romantic film that perfectly captures a dreamy adrenaline driven vision of nighttime L.A. Goldblum plays an insomniac yuppie whos just discovered his wife is unfaithful. He drives aimlessly around the vast L. A. Metroplex until he ends up at LAX where he manages to ineptly but effectively rescue Michelle Pfeiffer from a group of murderous Iranian thugs. The Iranians are after Pfeiffer because shes smuggled several historically and culturally important Iranian emeralds into the country. Supporters of the Iranian monarchy (represented by former members of the Shahs Secret Police) and several independent crooks want the emeralds, and theyre all willing to do whatever is necessary to obtain them. Goldblum is excellent as the slightly dazed, but never at a loss for words Ed. Pfeiffer is great as well, and at her most beautiful. Other standouts are Roger Vadim (as a slick international criminal), David Bowie (as a freaky hitman), Carl Perkins (as a relentless brawler), Bruce McGill (as Pfeiffers Elvis impersonator brother), and Richard Farnsworth (as Pfeiffers former Sugar Daddy). Into the night isnt the Tom Hanks + Meg Ryan style offbeat romance viewers might expect, in fact its the ultimate Ships that pass in the night story. Two incredibly different strangers are thrown together by circumstances beyond their control and become friends as they run for their lives from a large group of highly motivated bad guys bent on their destruction. (7) Trancers (1985) Directed by Charles Band Starring: Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, Michael Stefani, Art LaFleur, Telma Hopkins, Richard Herd, and Anne Seymour Trancers is like The Terminator meets Blade Runner with a healthy dose of Invasion of the Body Snatchers from a script by Raymond Chandler. Trancers is probably the best direct to video cheapie B flick ever made and the prime contender against noir classic Detour for the title of best B film ever made. Both these films are successful because of solid stories, first class acting, and inspired direction. Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) is a 23rd century cop sent down the line to stop an army of zombies who have the ability to take over the minds and bodies of humans and to capture their leader, Martin Whistler. Whistler is living in 80s L.A. (in the body of an LAPD Detective) seeking out and killing the ancestors of the current rulers of Angel City (the earthquake ravaged and partially submerged L. A. of the future) so that he can return and seize control in the future power vacuum. Time travel in Trancers is a bit different from most Sci Fi flicks, so Jack Deth wakes up in the body of a twentieth century relative the morning after his one night stand with Helen Hunt (in her second acting role). Thomerson is eventually able to convince Hunt to help him track down and eliminate Whistler. They fall in love and spend the rest of the film trying to stop Whistler and his trancer minions from taking over the future. Trancers was made by Empire Pictures (now Full Moon Video) for less than most studios budget for catering a major flick. Its is an eclectic fusion of 40s hard boiled Private Detective thriller and 50s pod people Sci Fi flick set in hip 80s L. A. Stand up comic Thomerson is perfect in the role of the hard-boiled wisecracking future cop who lives to singe trancers. Thomersons non-stop banter is usually funny, often crude, and always thoroughly irreverent. (8) The Hidden (1987) Directed by Jack Sholder Starring: Michael Nouri, Kyle MacLachlan, Clarence Felder, Claudia Christian and Catherine Cannon The Hidden is a genuine genre bender. Many reviewers would classify it as Sci Fi or maybe Horror, but it is neither despite the presence of elements from both genres. At its core The Hidden is a straight-ahead cop flick. As the movie opens, the L. A. police are hot on the trail of a man who has committed several serious crimes (armed robbery and auto theft). The perp is driving a stolen Ferrari with heavy metal music blaring from the on board stereo. When the cops eventually force the perp to crash, he rolls out of whats left of the Ferrari with a shotgun and a seriously belligerent attitude. The cops riddle him with bullets. At the hospital, the severely wounded perp rises from his deathbed and (in a distinctly Alien-like sequence) takes over the body of another patient before escaping. Nouri (as the detective in charge of the investigation) arrives at the hospital to check out the perp only to discover he was an ordinary guy whod never been violent or done anything wrong. To further complicate matters, theres a mysterious FBI agent (MacLachlan) snooping around even though it doesnt appear any federal laws have been broken. MacLachlan knows more than he is telling and what he is willing to share with Nouri doesnt make any sense. Apparently theres a trail of incidents with law-abiding citizens mysteriously going on looting and killing sprees, stealing expensive sports cars, and patronizing strip clubs. MacLachlan claims all the perps are the same guy, but thats impossible since most of them are dead. Nouri throws MacLachlan in jail until he reveals that he is an inter-galactic cop whos borrowed the body of a dead FBI agent. Hes pursuing an alien criminal escapee who can take over the body of any person or creature he encounters. This super violent parasitical space criminal loves sexy babes, expensive sports cars, automatic weapons, and heavy metal music. Since the alien can change bodies at will, he is virtually unstoppable -- forcing Nouri and MacLachlan to join forces to stop the mayhem. What really sets The Hidden apart from the dozens of bad alien Sci Fi flicks that have come and gone over the last fifty years is that this alien isnt out to take over our world, steal our resources, or enslave our populations -- instead hes a selfish hedonistic killer who enjoys easy money, random violence, casual sex, and loud music. That nasty little distinction gives this straight to video cult flick a real edge. The Hidden has it all; an original story, solid direction, a glitzy locale, non stop car chases and bloody shootouts, a pair of winning protagonists, and a genuinely bad villain. This film is a perfect example of just how good a really solid B flick can be. (9) Shoot to Kill (1988) Directed by Roger Spottiswoode Starring: Sidney Poitier, Tom Berenger, Kirstie Alley, Richard Masur, Andy Robinson, Clancy Brown Norman, and Kevin Scannell Movie fans often lament the fact that they dont make movies like they used to, but the truth is theyve always made movies (and still do) that are story and character (rather than special effects) driven and Shoot to Kill is a prime example. Sidney Poitier plays an older FBI agent who feels responsible for the death of a hostage during a daring well-planned San Francisco diamond robbery. Poitier is absolutely unrelenting in his pursuit of the killer and when evidence surfaces that the unknown suspect has joined a guided fishing trip into the rugged wilderness of the Olympic Mountains, Poitier rushes to the scene. Kirstie Alley is the tough no nonsense guide who takes five city men (one of them the killer) on a trip deep into the wilderness. Tom Berenger is Alleys boyfriend, also a wilderness guide. Poitier commandeers him to lead the chase after the killer. Poitier makes it clear from the outset that hes in charge and Berenger makes it just as clear that doesnt expect the older City slicker FBI agent to be able to keep up. Both actors play nicely off the tension, hostility, and off beat humor thats created by their unlikely alliance. Berenger and Poitier are a couple of days behind the fishing party so theyll have to be absolutely relentless if they plan to catch up with the killer before he gets to Canada. The pursuers develop a great bond as they race against the clock and the unyielding wilderness in this adrenaline fueled chase flick. The good guys get heartbreakingly close only to barely miss connecting with Alley and the killer when they reach the edge of the wilderness. The killer keeps Alley as a hostage while he arranges to sell the diamonds in Vancouver. Once Berenger and Poitier reach civilization, their roles are reversed and the old FBI agent is comfortable and on familiar ground in the urban jungle, while the young wilderness guide is now the odd man out. Spottiswoodes direction is spare but intensely focused; he wisely allows the majestic outdoor settings and incredible scenery to become as much a character in the film as the human actors. Poitier is one of the two or three best actors of his generation, and that talent shines brightly in Shoot to Kill. (10) One False Move (1991) directed by Carl Franklin Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Cynda Williams, Michael Beach, Bill Paxton, Jim Metzler, and Earl Billings First time director Carl Franklin's One False Move is a moody and riveting neo-noir road trip that begins with a horrendous crime in L. A. and ends in a thoroughly original and unexpected way in a small town in Arkansas. Thornton, Williams, and Beach play three drug dealers who rob and murder the guests at an L. A. party before heading east, to hide out in Star City, Arkansas. Unfortunately theyve left behind incontrovertible proof not only of their guilt, but also their getaway plans. The L.A.P.D. sends two detectives to Star City to coordinate an ambush of the three killers with Star City Sheriff Paxton. One False Move was Thorntons second film role (he also co-wrote the films screenplay) and the first movie role for Paxton. The film has the same sort of gritty-edgy amoral story, well-developed characters, and casually violent originality that made Blood Simple and A Simple Plan so fascinating. Here are a few additional Action/Suspense/Thriller/Crime flicks that you may find entertaining. Blow Up (1967), Performance (1970), The Getaway (1972), The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974), Marathon Man (1976), The Late Show (1977), Body Heat (1981), Body Double (1984), No Mercy (1986), Slam Dance (1987), Someone to watch over me (1987), Suspect (1987), Gleaming the cube (1989) If you enjoyed reading this film essay you may find my other film pieces interesting.

From what I have heard it is a really good car. Top Gear Magazine recommend the 1.6 HDi model. Alternatives are: Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Corolla.
Has anyone got a Citroen C4 or has any views on what they are like? Maybe getting ready to change cars and need some independant views on the C4 as a choice. Was thinking along the lines of a 1.6SX hatchback. Other than that any other choices to consider for that size/engine size of car?
From what I have heard it is a really good car. Top Gear Magazine recommend the 1.6 HDi model. Alternatives are: Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Corolla.
TechSupp (17th May 2009)
Not a Form man myself and already got an Astra (albeit an S reg). It won't be a new car as I don't have the money even with the new scrapage deal. Had a Toyota Corolla years ago and still say it was the best car fro the money I ever had so far but for a recent model they just keep their price far too well for my limited budget, same goes for the Golf unfortunately.
I've just sold my 1.6VTR+
Lots of gizmo's for not a lot of money.
Nothing went wrong on our car, and we certainly didn't look after it.
I liked it, it's just the wife wanted a Grand Scenic 7 seater
TechSupp (18th May 2009)
my parents have a c4 picasso thing and that seems to be ok seems to tow fine and gets lots of mpg! thats the 1.6 hdi model aswell. they would reccomend it.
TechSupp (18th May 2009)
Thanks for the replys, been googling around and it seems that the C4 is either a hit or a miss and the main problem people seem to claim is reliability. Undecided now as I have seen a Honda Civic (not the latest model) but a 2.0 S for quite a decent price and not a great deal of mileage.
Ohh, Go for the Honda. Especially if it's the previous shape (much better design than the current bubble). My last car was a (very old) Civic until it got rear ended, Grrrr. Loved it, beautiful drive and extremely reliable. It was a 'J' reg had no mechanical problems I could point at. Sailed through it's MOT's. My current car is a Toyota and almost as nice to drive. There has to be something said about Japanesse build quality. I'd certainly buy nothing but.
TechSupp (18th May 2009)
Know the feeling after having a Toyota, it was light years ahead of the rest of the market at the time (it was a H reg corolla). Had a citroen AX while I went to uni (G reg) and although only a year older there was no comparison in terms of equipment, quality, reliability etc etc. Was spoilt before with a 2.0 GLS Cavalier and the Honda might fit the bill, power and reliability
Same as above, id go German or Jap my 10yr old BMW is still running perfectly with 140k miles on the clock, petrol too
I have a 2.0 Diesel VTS C4 Coupe and it is a great car 50+ mpg good accelaration as many toys/gizmos as you could wish for..... go for it you will not be disapponted.
I have had three Vauxhall's on the trot. All have done well over 200,000 miles and all have been converted to LPG.
Not awe enspiring, but reliable and cheap.

Safety is a priority for car manufacturers, if it wasn't there likely wouldn't be recalls at all. But since it is, the recalls keep coming, this time in the form of 40,000 Jaguar Land Rover luxury SUVs with potentially malfunctioning passenger airbags. [More]
Range Rover Protests Its Own Existence Outside Dealership
Sure, if you're dissatisfied with your vehicle, you could complain to the company. You could write to Consumerist, or even start your own Web site. Or you could park it in front of the dealership that it came from, with a list of the vehicle's flaws and a warning to potential buyers plastered on in vinyl letters. A man in Colchester, England did just that.
Struggling To Make Ends Meet? You Should Buy This Range Rover!

How do I get rid of Widgi Toolbar

Posted October 5, 2011 at 11:47AM
Hi I have found this on my Startup menu - Google identifies this as spyware. I have run Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes, Advance System Care, CCleaner, Spybot - all to no avail - they do not seem to be able to find a trace of it. I try to disable it on Startup but the next time I log in it is enabled again. It does not show on the list of Add/Remove Programs. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it please.

Hi chub-tor Tried to manually remove items from registry - they were not there. Tried to install SpyHunter but it would not install - missing SHservices.exe
Disabled the IOBit toolbar and Widgi Toolbar in Firefox. These 2 toolbars appeared to be part of each other. But am concerned spyware is still on computer.
Tried to find a file on the IOBit web site named Unwise.exe which is supposed to delete the toolbar. But could not find it as was redirected to SkyHunter.
Would you think I should complete uninstall IOBit Advance System Care4 Pro. Have used this program in the past and been very pleased with it but this seems to have caused the problem with Widgi.

Finally found Conduit with subfolders containing a few widgi.dll - deleted all. Seems to have done the trick.

Google decided to compete with Apple for the stupid people it seems.
What a pathetic rage quit post of some little attention whore who admits having no intention to discuss anything of it any further, to allow disagreement or any other follow-up.
Too late to ignore him, but that is what should have happened in the first place.
you get payed to do work not to go clubbing.
Why do you even give a fuck?
The ones now complaining about how risky it is to rely on open-source software are exactly thos thousands of companies who just use open-source and never give anything back, usually not even provide a patch ever. It is not the fault of open-source it is the fault of greedy assholes who just take, never give back and then complain and bash.
Some probably adolescent script kiddies with an ego by far exceeding their intelligence try to play digital lynch mob.
What pathetic little cunts.
Not for the first time showing how much worse than individual stupidity their collective stupditiy can be.
this sums up the facts rather well, thank you.
i find it interesting what you write here because this (the pressure from other women, behavior from other males) is not what I have experienced in the european countries where I have been at all. The problem there mostly is that women (statistically) just are not interested in the topic, just as they are not interested in e.g. electrotechnics.
Now we could argue endlessly why that would be: is it in the genes? is it the upbringing? is it how these fields are portrayed in culture? I don't know, but the fact of the matter is that women, on average, just simply do not want this kind of job. And when I talk to some of them now, after I had this job, as a male, for a couple of decades, I think they might have a point.
So lets have some discrimination of boys to fix it!
Makes perfect sense.
that would be true and I would fully agree if you would write the year before the month. I would immediately change my mind about this if everyone would write dates year, then month, then day, or just month, then day or just day.
it matters in all contexts where it is not clear from the outset if the date was written following the dumb US convention or how nearly everyone else on this world does it.
Although, personally I would actually even prefer the MM-DD convention when it would only be used with the ISO way to write dates: YYYY-MM-DD which should really be the only way how anyone writes down dates.
I guess that is also why you write down "seventeen" as 710? oh wait
even more idiotic than using absurd units like F, inches, miles and ounces.
You are embarrassing yourself, US.
How can secretly accessing the private information of the people accessing the web site NOT be illegal? Where are you living? You need some decent laws over there, if it really is not illegal to do this.
Well in all the countries I have lived and worked so far (not the US) this would clearly be illegal. How is it not illegal in your country? Did you inform the police?
paper? you are kidding, right?

I went a little overboard with seeds this spring... Had near-perfect germination rates and ended up with a billion seedlings that I was able to re-home half. So I'm left with (only?) two dozen little guys. Well, last week I ended up with a momentary lapse of insanity and won an eBay auction... An entire seed pod of "Carnival" from 1-stop-aloha (Matt H.) I DO want a few little guys, but maybe not all the same kind... Anyone want to trade? I planted half and have about 20 seeds left over... Might trade like five each for five of something different? The seedlings I've already got going are Waimea, JL Pink Pansy, and Penang Peach so I'd like to avoid those. Figured I'd throw it out there. |

I'll send you a few... No need to buy |
Disney- I too wondered if anyone was ever going to want to trade - I would gladly pay for some. It would be a first for me ;) Chuy |
You are too kind! Let me send you the envelope, at least you won't pay for postage. Thank you much! Can you message me your address please? :) |
I tried to email you but I don't know if the emailing service works here. Are you still having some seeds left? Mima |

Oh duh.... Mima I got your email but I replied to the blanket address garden web has. Please email me again but include your address. I can't get messages on my phone browser or something... Newbie maybe... I've got enough for both of you |

There are sixteen of them in paper towels started on the 27th by the way, and they've all got inch-long roots and 100% germination rate so I'm guessing you'll have success with them... |
OK I don't need seeds but as a HUGE Disney lover and even HUGER horse lover I would love to hear your explanation of your user name ! labland aka Jen Can't ride anymore due to horrid back but train my labs to retrieve ducks instead now. |

Any seeds left? wanna trade with cactus seeds? |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 15:04
There are seeds left, message me with your address. The ones I sprouted in paper towels are seven days old now and I put them in their little cups this morning. A few weeks and they'll be moved each to a one gallon pot and join their friends... |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 15:14
Here's one of my Pink Pansy seedlings, planted on 5/12/13. I love the bright green leaves with red edges its got. We will have to compare blooms in a few years :) |
Oh, it's so exciting to see how the seeds are sprouting and then little seedlings are growing! I love it so much!! So from where they were sprouting you moved them directly in 1-gallon pots, no intermediary quart pots or something smaller. How big should they be to plant them in individual pots? I planted them directly in soil mix, in regular plastic boxes. I made holes in the bottom and that was it. This is a picture taken yesterday. Mima |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 17:13
They look really good! When mine got two real leaves (not just those cotelydons) they go in a gallon pot, that's what fuzzy in HI recommended (who I got my seeds from). Seems adequate and will be a lot longer till I have to disturb them. |
It makes sense to not disturb them for quite a while while they are so fragile. Thanks. Mima |

Hi Disney... I dont want to trade.. but i will give you some!! If you want some, i can put you on the list for my pods when they open.. I didnt respond because i really dont need any more seedlings.. MY DH would have more eye bills!!! LOL.. He would have more allergies (eye rolling..) LOL... Let me know!! Happy 4th!! Laura |
Those seedlings look good! What kind of soil do you start them off in ?! Mark |

I can't for the life of me figure out where the message thing is on this website? I'm getting emails but cannot reply. Anyone have pointers? Chuy, in the meantime please just email me your address and I'll send some off to you. My seedlings and everything are in a one-part perlite to two-parts cactus mix. Not all cactus mixes are created equal I've found... I've bought about three different brands but I'm not sure what I like best. They all seem quick draining... I fertilize all my plants every other week with Epsom salt or miracle gro... But just a little for the seedlings cuz they're only a few inches tall still. |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Fri, Jul 5, 13 at 1:15
Thanks for the offer Laura, but I don't need any more seedlings either! I shouldn't have even bought these, but it was so tempting. |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Fri, Jul 5, 13 at 1:24
Mima, it's tough enough moving them from the sprouting cups I use to the one-gallon pots because the perlite and cactus mix is so loose and crumbly. The seedlings are pretty tough though... I manhandle them and peel their husks and membranes off with my fingernails before planting and they're perfectly happy. |
I started them in the same soil mix as you, disneyhorse. How long does it usually take until they are ready to be transferred into the pots (when they have 2 real leaves)? Now I am thinking that maybe I should have used more soil mix, it seems not deep enough for them to grow a healthy little root. Mima |

I think it took three weeks to get leaves, but it depended on the cultivar. Pink pansy, for me, were pretty vigorous. For some reason Penang Peach were slow to germinate and leaf out, but they've caught up now for the most part. |
Interesting. Now I have to see how are mine going to act :D Mima |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Fri, Jul 5, 13 at 14:43
Okay, I've got some addresses to send them to now... All spoken for. I'll try to mail them today or tomorrow... |
Thank you in advance, disneyhorse! (Sorry, don't know your name :)) Mima |
Ok so I found a really cool way to grow plumeria seeds. I was searching the net and found a guy that grows his seeds in a different method than I have seen before. Basically he purchased some craft foam and made little slits in the foam. He had a bowl full of water and cut the foam in a circle to fit inside the bowl so it will float. He put about 30 seeds in the slits of the foam with the fat part of the seeds down in the water and the wing up. He placed the foam (with seeds in slits) into the water and left it there for about 6 days and all the seeds sprouted. Once the seeds sprouted he removed the seeds and planted them into soil. Has anyone else tried this method? I will post a pic also.... |
Disneyhorse, I got the seeds today with the mail! Thank you so,so much!! They are Carnival or a different type? I noticed how long their wing is compared to the ones we've planted last month. And a very light color. The others were almost all darker and their wings shorter. Thank you so much! I will keep you posted when they will sprout and further. :) Mima |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 16:00
Oh, it looks so pretty! I can't wait to plant mine too! How's the smell like? Did you use the damp/wet paper towel first? Mima |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 16:52
I don't know what the smell is like, the description was vague. |
ok..... received mine in the mail disney!! wish me luck! it's my very first time :) chuy |
- Posted by disneyhorse 10%3F (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 18:34
Good luck! I've got a huge double seed pod on my noid that I'll give away more when it opens... But it's been there for eight months so who knows when... |
Quaching, I've used the floating peanuts method to start seeds. Got real good germination. I floated them in the seed starter cells and then planted them in them. Peg |
Peg, never seen that fine before!! I have about 3 seeds I need to sow. Wondering if I should try it. Do u mist? Is the tray of water warm?? Chuy |
Chuy, The seeds are in the peanuts floating in the water-no need to mist. The plastic containers(my grandkid's lunchables) are put on a heat mat under lights. Once they have roots sticking out I take them out of the starter cells/peanuts and fill cells with soil and plant. I don't put them back in the water containers. The cells hold 9 so for 3 seeds you might want to cut the cells a part in rows and find something smaller to put the water in. I put masking tape on the outside of the cells to mark the kind of seed and then plant them in the same cell. Peg |
Thank you Peg for explaining!! ;) Chuy |

About This Project
I made this bed for my 2 girls who share a room. It was my first real attempt at building anything substantial. They are thrilled. The plans were so easy to follow. The only thing I did different was use 3 inch screws in the hutch base because I felt it made it more sturdy. I used bead board for the outside of the hutch and the back of the book cases. Thanks Ana for such great plans.

Historic marker details Froebel High's legacy
By Carole Carlson email@example.com/302-0949 May 9, 2014 5:10PM
Virgie Thornton, left, and State Rep. Vernon Smith look at the new historical marker unveiled Friday that commemorates Froebel School. | Carole Carlson~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: June 11, 2014 6:11AM
GARY — Froebel High School was torn down nearly a decade ago, but its memory lives on in the hearts of its graduates, many of whom lived through a dark and fascinating period of the city's history.
On Friday, those graduates got their first glimpse at an Indiana historic marker on the spacious former grounds of the school, 15th Avenue and Madison Street, which closed in 1977.
It took two years for supporters to secure the marker, which details Gary's trials with racial integration and civil rights. The Northern Indiana Public Service Co. kicked in seed money to buy the monument, and Powers Construction erected it.
"Closing this school was the beginning of the death of this community," said state Rep. Vernon Smith, a 1962 graduate and one of those who led the effort to gain the state marker.
In many ways, Froebel stood as Gary's monument to integration, as well as a testament to social segregation.
Gary schools Supt. William Wirt, who won a reputation as one of the most progressive and innovative school leaders in the country, oversaw Froebel when it opened in 1912.
Gary historian and Indiana University Northwest professor James Lane, who attended Friday's ceremony, said Wirt gained fame for his "work-study-play" philosophy that became a national model.
Following Wirt's vision, Froebel boasted two swimming pools, a huge auditorium, a vocational center, a playground and gardening area and a three-room apartment so girls could hone their homemaking skills. No other high school looked like Froebel, and one historian called it the finest in the nation.
Froebel quickly established itself as an academic mecca, as educators from across the country came to see its campus setting, architecture and educational amenities.
By the tumultuous 1940s, the city's Midtown section around Froebel teemed with Eastern European immigrants and Southern blacks who came to Gary for the good-paying jobs at the booming U.S. Steel mill. Froebel was Gary's lone integrated school — blacks and whites sat side by side in classrooms but remained segregated socially.
Blacks couldn't join the school choir, band or drama club. They could swim in the pool only on Fridays, the day before it was cleaned. While the white prom was at the Hotel Gary's Crystal Ballroom, the black prom was held in the girls gym.
"We got along until a handful of whites started talking about a boycott," Alma White, a 1949 graduate, said. "We had all kinds of nationalities and we all got along."
The growing racial and cultural tension came to a head in September 1945. Talk of a boycott, fueled by peer pressure, grew, and many white students walked out, forcing Froebel to cancel its football season.
The number of whites boycotting the school steadily grew from 400 to 1,200. They demanded that blacks be removed from the school, saying Froebel shouldn't be a "guinea pig" in an experiment on race relations.
The students' boycott gained national news coverage as other U.S. cities began wrestling with civil rights for the first time.
Frank Sinatra, a civil rights advocate, came to Gary in November 1945 to try to quiet tensions. He performed at Memorial Auditorium and urged the white students to go back to school.
More celebrities followed, including poet Carl Sandburg, cartoonist Bill Mauldin and author Clifton Fadiman.
Finally, on Nov. 12, nearly two months after they boycotted, the white students returned to school.
"We all got along and had to live together as people," said White, who went on to receive a degree in social work.
