Some sort of upright sedum (Hylotelephium.), like 'Neon' or 'Brilliant'. |

Looks a bit like the "Strawberries & Cream" variety. |
Thank you all, I thinks it's a Hylotelephium spectabile. |
Compare with the cultivar 'Matrona'. |

14.04.08 - By James Slater, photo by Chris Farina - TopRank - Last night's rematch between Kermit Cintron and the only man to ever beat him in Antonio Margarito did not disappoint. A quite incredible battle saw the Mexican tough guy (an understatement) finish off the brave Cintron with a wicked left to the body in round number 6. The time was 1 minute and 57 seconds, and Margariro is now the new IBF welterweight king. Both men came right out at the opening bell and went to war. This was not a fight for the purists, but, wow, was it great to see. Cintron, one of the hardest punchers in boxing, teed off on the rock-hard head of Margarito in this round, rights in particular exploding on the Mexican. But, as before, Margarito went nowhere. The noise of the crowd was deafening, and a savage shootout was well underway.. In round 2, the action reached Hagler-Hearns proportions. Margarito looked the boss for me here, and the brutality was beginning to mount - for Cintron mostly. Some really solid body shots thudded home for Margarito, who also picked up a small cut over his left eye - probably from a clash of heads. The 3rd saw more great two-way action, but it appeared as though Margarito, though he was taking some killer shots, was gaining the advantage. As bombs were flying and mostly landing from both warriors, Cintron complained to the referee Earl Brown about rabbit punches and left himself open. Was this a first sign of the fight having got to him mentally? In the 4th, Margarito was definitely getting on top. He'd taken Cintron's best shots - amazingly without even blinking! - and he was grinding his man down now. Cintron was looking marked up now, with swelling forming around his right eye. Cintron let go with some more bombs in the 5th, and again the amazing warrior from Mexico took them all. The pace was gruelling and all of a sudden Cintron looked really busted up - a bad cut pouring blood over his damaged right eye. Under heavy pressure, Cintron bent over to escape from the onslaught - a tactic he'd been employing tonight - and referee Brown warned Margarito for hitting the back of Cintron's head. The Mexican looked furious, but won the round for me. Cintron had definitely been badly hurt and the ending seemed to be closing in for him. Sure enough, the end came in round 6. Cintron tried to box, but Margarito soon had him hurt again and stuck on the ropes. Then, with his man trapped, Margarito struck with a savage left to Kermit's midsection and down he went. Badly hurt, he had no chance of beating the count. The fight was over and once again Antonio Margarito had proven too tough, too resilient and just too damn hard-headed for Kermit Cintron. King Tony is back atop the boxing world, and improves to 36-5(26). While the beaten up Cintron, who looked devastated by the loss, falls to 29-2(27). Both men deserve enormous credit for the thrilling fight they gave us. This was one of the best slugfests seen in quite a while!

Gorgeous Haus Am Moor Cabin Draws Heat from a Wood-Fired Stove and the Earth in Austria
Posted By Tafline Laylin On June 14, 2013 @ 10:06 am In Architecture,carousel showcase,gallery | 1 Comment
Although the structural frame is made with concrete, the rest of the interior and exterior of the cabin was constructed with 60 trees felled sustainably nearby. This contrasting timber was used for walls, floors, doors and even some of the home's furniture, and a deck runs the entire length of the cabin [6].
Small and large cutouts permit an ethereal natural light, reducing the project's overall energy load, while a wood-fired stove and ground source heat pump keep the place warm. Designed to match the Bregenz district's vernacular architecture, the double-storey gabled home sits ever so quietly amid the rural setting of Vorarlberg.

What comes to mind when you picture someone who uses marijuana? For many it's the stereotypical image of a lazy, spacey, and possibly dirty stoner who listens to The Grateful Dead, prefers hemp as their jewelry of choice, and is always good for a laugh or two. Recently, however, mainstream publications like Vogue, Elle and The New York Times are doing their best to challenge these tired assumptions as they introduce readers to the "new" wave of pot enthusiasts. And if Elle.com's foray into the wild world of weed is any indication, it's all about women. Keep reading »

Kerala State Chalachitra Academy plans to widen its activities to popularise cinema among all sections of society.
The Kerala State Chalachitra Academy is gearing up to launch a new film initiative to take classics to all sections of society. Academy chairman K.R. Mohanan and vice-chairman V.K. Joseph strongly feel that one might come across good cineastes among the weaker sections of society too. The academy has charted out an action plan, starting with the 11th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in December, to popularise the classics. "The main aim of setting up the academy was to create a new culture that appreciates good cinema, and make it accessible to all those who want to see the best of world cinema. This was obvious from the pioneering initiative; the first festival of 100 films held in Kozhikode under the aegis of the Kerala State Film Development Corporation in 1995," recollects Mohanan.The late E.M. Sreedharan took the first step by allocating Rs.10 lakhs in the State budget for an international film festival in 1996. "The idea to launch an international film festival cropped up in an informal chat with `aniyettan' [E.M. Sreedharan] in the early nineties. He had an avid interest in Afro-Asian and Latin American films and wanted to popularise such films in Kerala. The stature of the festival started growing with the setting up of the academy and now IFFK is being reckoned as one of the notable festivals on the international circuit," says Joseph.Though Mohanan and Joseph are votaries of serious cinema, they plan to create a milieu conducive for the healthy coexistence of all kinds of cinema. "The academy is aware of its limitations in making a direct intervention in the industry, but we can play the role of a catalyst to promote healthy trends in the larger interests of society. We can don the role of an opinion leader and cultivate an audience that appreciates good cinema," says Mohanan.
Appreciation courses
"After IFFK, we plan to organise festivals, appreciation courses and interactive sessions with media professionals on the campuses for teachers and students. Such programmes will help youngsters whet their skills and motivate them to go in for different ventures. "Film clubs have also been planned on the campuses. The motto is to teach cinema through viewing and equipping students to make good films," says Joseph.Festivals of classics will be organised in district and taluk head quarters. Libraries, which have a strong presence in rural areas, can be made a venue for bringing together cinema enthusiasts and organising screenings, says Mohanan.The 11th IIFK promises to be a bonanza for cine buffs. As many as 143 films, which represent a cross-section of world cinema, would be screened at the festival. While the academy is looking forward for the cooperation of the fraternal organisations in Malayalam cinema, both Mohanan and Joseph feel that film-makers and technicians of Malayalam cinema should evince more interest in the festival and ensure better participation, so that they can imbibe the latest developments in international cinema. The festival is a window to the world and there should be a deep involvement of the Malayalam film and television industry, they say.

With so much news about Xbox One's changing online, used game, and Kinect policies, it's easy to forget the system will host a bounty of awesome games. Microsoft would prefer we all spent a bit more time thinking about the latter, so it assembled this new sizzle trailer and some fun facts about the line up.
Thirty-eight percent of Xbox One's currently announced games are exclusive to Microsoft's system, and 44 percent have exclusive or timed exclusive content, according to Xbox Wire. Check out our list of every Xbox One game we know of to see the likes of Titanfall and Dead Rising 3 in more detail.

Pattern That Plagues the Market; You're Investing, Not Running the Company: Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
What people don't realize is that politicians are all Grinches, on both sides of the aisle, and they aren't going to give us anything good because neither party cares about business. Think about how everything from Washington has played out for years. Take this last fracas. If you recall, we had the last Fed meeting and it produced a spectacular rally as the Fed said it wasn't going to taper.
Then, literally, two days after that great rally, we began to hear about how the possibility of a government shutdown and a debt-ceiling wrangle. At first, we ignored it because we figured that the president and Congress wouldn't let any shutdown go on too long and we would never default on our debt. But then it dawned on us that the hatred was so thick between some of the GOP and the president that perhaps, just maybe, the shutdown won't be solved quickly and the debt-ceiling tussle could be far more serious than we thought.
Then we actually get the government shutdown, which hammers the market. And then we got the second punch: the debt-ceiling fight brinksmanship, where it was clear, at least to me, that we had to go down to the last hour before a deal could be reached on either. It was so patently obvious to all but the Santa believers that the issue wouldn't be resolved until right before Armageddon. But the market didn't look at it that way and it kept trading down, bottoming at a 6% decline from the top.
And then we got the deal.
Nothing's new to that rhythm. In fact, if you look at the charts it's obvious what we keep getting: a big run in the stock market courtesy of better-than-expected earnings and then a big sell-off when Washington in any form -- president, Fed, Congress, taxes, whatever -- gets back on the agenda. Then that's resolved and we get another run when Washington recedes again. Now we've had our break. With the employment number tomorrow morning the chatter and the pain should begin anew and you can do one of two things: sell some stock because the taper talk will run thick, or the recession chatter will take over. Or just strap yourself to the mast and ignore the sirens. Frankly, I would split the difference. Sell some tomorrow and get ready to buy it back when the taper talk recedes again.Select the service that is right for you!

What's New
Nothing of significance. With 2006 scheduled to be the Taurus's last model year, Ford unsurprisingly sees no point in making a lot of changes now.
Key Options
Side airbags and anti-lock brakes are essential safety items. The Duratec V-6 (available on the SEL only) is considerably more powerful than the base engine and an appealing upgrade. Leather seats and a moonroof are optional on both models, while an 80-watt Mach stereo and automatic climate control are optional only on the SEL.

Tremendous generosity from all our donors is reflective of combined leadership from the University, the Foundation and the Athletic Steering Committee. Their vision, passion and personal philanthropy have made the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center the first building at UConn financed entirely with private donations.
By 2012, donors contributed $24 million to begin construction of the facility—about three-quarters of the total cost. This included a $2 million donation from alumnus and then-chair of the UConn Foundation Board of Directors Mark Shenkman '65 '07 (HON) and his wife, Rosalind.
Denis '76 '77 and Britta Nayden '76 pledged another $3 million for the practice center in 2013 that included funds dedicated for student-athlete scholarships and a challenge match in addition to funds set aside for the building's construction. Basketball alumni, excited for what the new facility would mean for the programs, contributed to the match challenge thanks to an outreach effort led by Meghan (Pattyson) Culmo '92 and Jake Voskuhl '00.
Peter J. and Pamela Werth pledged an initial gift three years ago that remains one of the largest single private gifts to the Division of Athletics. In October 2014, they added another pledge to rename the building the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center.
The 75,000-plus square-foot facility features two separate wings for the men's and women's basketball programs. It includes common areas for academic support, sports medicine and strength training areas, as well as separate practice gyms, locker rooms, coaches' offices, meeting rooms and video analysis theaters.
Visitors to the center will be greeted with a display of UConn basketball greatness. The lobby features a display of NCAA trophies—representing the four men's national championships and nine women's national championships—and wing entrances are flanked by images of Maya Moore '11 and Ray Allen '96.
The Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center is the premier practice facility in the nation and will serve as the catalyst for future success, both academically and athletically—fitting for Storrs, the Basketball Capital of the World!
Join Us In Supporting UConn Basketball
You still have the ability to play a critical role in supporting the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center, as there is a need for additional funding to finish the project. In order for us to truly demonstrate the power of Husky Nation, we need to ensure the building reflects the greatness of both programs. Please make a gift today.

"Not a real copy!"
Version: Crap Cleaner 2.0
None! I have not and wil not install it!
It's exactly what is says on the tin (the title of this rating).
Fake, cheap, wrong software. The Company is a "fake"/"front" and I agree with the first rater of this product! If this is rated with a thumbs down, the company has sent trolls to patrol this!
"A cheap copy!"
Version: Crap Cleaner 2.0
There is nothing good when it comes to this software.
A cheap and less functional copy of CCleaner *www.piriform.com*
Hi. Just thought I would pass this on. I emailed www.Piriform.com about Evonsoft.com copying the Crap Cleaner name. CCleaner stands for Crap Cleaner and it was origonally called Crap Cleaner. I recently checked www.evonsoft.com and they removed Crap Cleaner from their website and it is no longer available. It looks like they were caught red handed and forced to remove it. Also, the email addresses on www.evonsoft.com do not work. If you email them, your email bounces back like a bad check. You would think that Iobit, I mean Evonsoft could do a better job of copying software and getting way with it.
Why is this file still on Download.com? It is not made by Evonsoft.com. It is from Iobit.com. The company well known for copying other companies software. I downloaded and installed this program and it says iobit.com in the installation file. It is obvious they tried to copy the trademarked name Crap Cleaner from the real Crap Cleaner, CCleaner from piriform.com.
Updated on Feb 3, 2010
Updated on Apr 3, 2010Crap Cleaner is back on www.evonsoft.com. Evonsoft and Iobit are the same company. Check the ip 126.96.36.199 and see what I mean. Evonsoft.com does not even have a working email address!
Updated on Apr 19, 2010Why does Download.com have any program from Evonsoft(really iobit) available for download? The company does not have a working email address and the copyright date on the website is 2007 - 2009.

UPDATED: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - 6:49pm
East Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — Bernard Taylor spent the day touring East Baton Rouge Parish, meeting with Department of Education officials and community members.
The candidate was taken on a tour of some area schools. He started off with a guided walkthrough of Westdale Middle. Taylor met with students and teachers in their classrooms.
He also spoke on what he sees as the main priority for EBR schools.
"Student achievement (is) top priority. (We need to) make sure issues coming forward from the state in terms of schools that are academically unacceptable - that we come up with a comprehensive plan to meet mandates - but provide quality service for those students," said Taylor.
Taylor will wrap up his day after his formal interview with the board and questions from the public tonight.
NBC33's Jason Newton will have all the details from the meeting at NBC33 News at 10.

But what remains more immediate for many Gazans is dealing with the unspoken internal damage – the effect on the population's mental health. Estimates from several organizations hold that between 30 and 40 percent of the Gaza population is suffering from signs of PTSD – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A study by the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme in June found that two-thirds of Gaza's children have exhibited abnormal levels of anxiety, and 61.5 percent of Gaza's parents reported the emergence of unusual behaviors among their children.
Ms. Hamam considers herself one of the fortunate ones, in that she's recently been trained in the use of new tools to help others she works with professionally – as well as her own children. Last week, she completed a second, advanced training program in Gaza that is part of the Healing the Wounds of War (HWW) program, launched by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, based in Washington.
Using alternative, nonmedical techniques to discharge pent-up stress and trauma, the center has, for more than a decade, been bringing its work to global war zones and disaster areas. Its postwar program began in Kosovo, where its work helped reduce children's diagnosed levels of PTSD symptoms from 88 percent to 38 percent, founder Jim Gordon says.

I need some help. I live in a apartment with no grass. i have a cement balcony. I also live in the high desert of Victorville, ca... its so hot today, very dry climate... in the past i have tried growing indoors like herbs. my husband bought me a very pretty Lily from Homedepot and it was ok for about a week and a half. i did what the instruction said was sun part sun/shade, water every 3 days but it gets so hot in the house that its impossible to grow anything. Outside it can be so windy that the rocks and sand from the apartments "Decorations" go on our balcony which makes it into a damn sandstorm. its really gross and i have to clean it every day. i wanted to buy a cedar box from home depot and plant fruits, veggies and herbs but i dont know if im going to end up wasting money. I dont compost so i dont make my own soil but i could. Anyone out here have any simple steps? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Victorville is a tough climate for container gardening. The extreme heat, low humidity, and wind are as difficult for plants to deal with as they are for humans. What you could do is try some summer heat lovers, just for practice. Summer heat loving veggies would be: peppers, and tomatoes. Just try a couple of plants, and make your intent to learn how plants grow on your balcony. Observe, observe, observe. That, long-term, is going to make you successful. I'd suggest not a fancy container, just the largest one you can afford. You could even try to get a large tub or bin that someone is throwing out, or something from a thrift store that you can drill drainage holes in. The reason you want a large container is that larger containers hold moisture in better and longer than small containers. They also keep the roots slightly cooler than small containers, which is another thing you need in that climate. Another thing that you might need is some shade protection. If you can, rig up a sturdy little rectangle of pipe that fits the container, and stands 3 or 4' tall, and cover the "roof" of with shade cloth. Attach the shade cloth with cable ties or wire. You can buy pieces of shade cloth at big box stores. The reason for this, is that your climate is so extreme, so hot in the summer, that even heat loving plants may need some protection from the sun. The cloth can also help protect them from the hot wind. Plant a tomato plant and a pepper plant, and see what you can learn. You may need to water the plants every day. Perhaps even twice a day. Learn to feel the soil with your fingers to see if it is moist or not. Learn to watch the foliage to see if it is stressed or happy. Observe, observe, observe. Good luck! You can do it! Everyone starts from the beginning. You have to start in an extreme environment. But here's the thing--if you can develop some success in an extreme environment, when/if you move to a more mild climate, it will be likely super easy for you to grow a lot of stuff. |
thanks for the tips. Any pictures of the pipes your talking about? Im a visual learner.. I was thinking of buying a 16 x 16 raised cedar bedding. it has nothing on the bottom and when i called Homedepot the guy said i can use cardboard, plywood. and use a small thin irrigation tube to let water drain or drill small holes. My balcony is cement flooring. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Greenes-Fence-16-in-x-16-in-Cedar-Raised-Garden-Kit-RC16RB/204652083?quantity=1&str_nbr=1844 or should i go cheaper? i have a normal grey rubber maid tub that im just holding old kid clothes... the cedar just looked pretty. and yes i was already thinking of cucumbers, tomatos and zucchini. |
While I agree with the idea of peppers, I don't with tomatoes. Tomatoes don't normally set fruit when it's over 90 degrees. ( I'm trying some new types that are suppose to be heat tolerant. I'll report on those next fall.). Having said this, Cherry tomatoes have done well here dispute the heat. Eggplants do really well with heat... as long as they get enough water. Herbs usually like heat. The squashes, cucumbers and the like will be ok with morning sun only, and then plenty of water. All vegetables need deep planters and plenty of fertilizer. Also, it helps to add hydrating crystals to the soil mix ... if they aren't already in there. These will help with the water over a long, hot day. I use organic soil for vegetables; MiracleGrow has one and I imagine there are other brands as well. We live in the city with no where for a proper in-ground garden, so all my vegetables and herbs are in huge pots. With temps already in the 90s, headed to the 100s, I am needing to water twice a day -- morning and late afternoon. Good luck! It can be done, |
what are some other vegetables and herbs that do well in high heat? I dont eat eggplants so its a no go.. i like them just dont really like cooking them lol... |

I can't find any source for the assertion but assuming it is true, the House would have to find it in time. Boehner will try not to let them and force the vote before anyone can read it.

As the state prepares to move to computer-based standardized testing by 2015, officials at some Butler County school districts say they that don't have the computers, bandwidth or high-speed Internet needed to keep up with the digital learning push.
The Lakota Local School District, Ohio's seventh largest public school district, is about eight years behind when it comes to technology infrastructure, according to an independent consultant who recently evaluated the district's technology.
"What I love about this report is that it hits it head-on that our infrastructure is incapable; we couldn't call it modern," said Lakota Superintendent Karen Mantia. "I apologize for that because we should be a modern educational system, educating students for their world. Yet we are seven or eight years behind the times, and what's sad about it is we have no funds."
Students today are growing up in a digital world driven by technology, and local schools are tasked with preparing them for it. But as many districts struggle financially and are forced to make spending cuts and difficult budget decisions, new technology can sometimes get placed on the back-burner.
Todd Wesley, Lakota's executive director of technology, said the last substantial rollout of new instructional technology — including computers — began in 2005 and ended in 2008. He said current district computers range in age from five to eight years old.
Jeff Sun, director of Sun Associates — the consultant that reviewed Lakota — called that "a gigantic problem."
"Lakota hasn't bought any computers of note in six years," Sun said. "These machines are just ancient right now."
The computerized testing begins in the in the 2014-15 school year. The tests will include reading and math for grades three through eight, sciences in fifth and eighth grade, and possibly social studies in fourth and sixth grades.
High school students will take end of course exams on-line including: Math I, II, III, English 9, 10, 11, Biology, Physical Science, American History, and American Government.
Scores on these standardized tests factor in school district's state report card rating.
State officials have said the tests could be administered via desktop computers, laptops or portable devices like iPads.
Fairfield City Schools has also had to contend with outdated technology. The district needs to update its wireless infrastructure, particularly in elementary buildings, said Dan Jeffers, the district's technology director. Like Lakota, most of the student machines are 5 to 8 years old.
"Our high school has the most up-to-date system, while our buildings that house grades five to nine need improvement. The structure there cannot handle the influx of personal devices that is the future of technology in schools. Our elementary buildings do not have building-wide wireless access at this time," he said.
Fairfield schools projects spending $407,918 on technology this year, according to district treasurer Nancy Lane. That's more than double the amount spend last year, which was $202,439.
Fairfield is readying a comprehensive replacement plan that would also include new hardware purchases.
To address the testing issues, "We are currently referring to the hardware requirements shared by the test developer," Jeffers said.
"This will ensure that our current hardware is up to standard and that any new purchases will be capable of the testing as well. We have a large population of students who will be taking these tests online," he said. "We are in the process, as part of the comprehensive plan, of putting together the numbers to determine our hardware needs for the testing. There are several factors yet to be determined, such as the length of the testing window and the length of time allotted to take the test."
Hamilton City Schools has been working with the Technology Readiness Tool, which measures a district's current technology and how it compares with the minimum specifications needed to run the new standardized tests. According to the latest tests by that tool, 100 percent of Hamilton's computers are ready now to handle the new tests, said Keith Millard, Hamilton's director of secondary programs.
"The wild card is, do we have enough devices currently deployed to test the students in the windows legislated by the state?" Millard said.
The tests themselves are still in flux, so it is unknown as yet if Hamilton will have enough computers to administer the tests, he added.
Although Hamilton's devices are 1oo percent compliant, the district still has to be mindful that technology constantly evolves.
"We continue to make prudent decisions about future purchasing, based on the increasing tech requirements that escalate as the years go on," Millard said. "What may be good in 2014-2015, may not be good in 2015-2016 …We're trying to be forward-thinking and prudent in our use of district dollars to make the best purchasing decisions, given the available information."
Middletown City Schools has not used the Technology Readiness Tool yet because "it seems premature considering the technology recommendations keep changing," said Robin Surland, the district's senior director of technology.
Middletown believes it is up to standard, although a number of its machines are aging as well, particularly in elementary schools. Regardless, Middletown's technology budget has held relatively steady over the past three years, at slightly below $2 million for each of the last three years.
"As far as student-to-Internet-device ratio, I believe Middletown City Schools will be prepared," Surland said. "We will also be able to provide Internet access to the devices through our wireless network, though we will have to add additional access points at some schools as use increases."
Middletown breaks down its computer ages in terms of quality. High-quality computers are those from 2010-12. Average quality are from 2008-2009, and low-quality computers are from 2006 to 2008. Middletown High School has the most high-quality computers, with 124, while Middletown Middle School has 68 low-quality computers.
The elementary schools have a preponderance of low-quality computers. Highview has 38, Miller Ridge 29, Rosa Parks 25 and Wildwood 37.
Surland said Middletown will likely purchase Chrome Books, which would cost $249 per student and $7,740 per classroom.

"A rush of romance will sweep you away in this hauntingly mystical read. I'm already as addicted to Daire and Dace as I was to Ever and Damen!" –Justine magazine
She inherited a magical destiny—and a mission to stop a powerful family of dark sorcerers. She never expected to fall in love with one of them.
There's still so much Daire Santos has to learn about being the last Soul Seeker….and about herself. As her magical training becomes more intense, so does her relationship with Dace. But when she learns that his connection to the evil Richter family goes far deeper than she ever imagined, she begins to question if love really can conquer all.
Dace is painfully aware that he wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the Richters' dark magic—and now his brother Cade is determined to use his love for Daire against him. Dace is willing to sacrifice anything to protect the girl he loves —including his own life. But will Daire allow it? And what if defeating Cade costs not only his life, but his soul too?
Enchanting, haunting, romantic, Echo is the second book in the Soul Seekers series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël!

The campus carry bill was pulled from the floor yesterday because the author felt it didn't have enough votes to pass.
Some Senators got cold feet and withdrew support because they have been bombarded in the last 48 hours with phone calls, emails, letters, and groups in the media saying all the usual anti garbage: more kids will get killed at schools, Virginia Tech survivors testified against campus carry, blood will fill the classrooms, your dog will get heartworms, bunions, and lice, and the sun will fall out of the sky, etc, etc, etc.
TEXANS please go here to contact your Senator and (politely and professionally) tell them your thoughts, logic, and opinion on this bill.
It is supposed to be considered again on Monday. Time is of the essence.

BATON ROUGE, LA — The Louisiana Lottery held the third of four promotional "Lotto Lagniappe" raffle drawings from 176,628 promotional entry tickets generated when customers purchased a $5 single-draw Lotto ticket in May. In all, seven Lotto Lagniappe raffle numbers drawn last night won $60,000 in cash prizes.
"With a rolling cash jackpot that starts at $250,000, Lotto has enjoyed ongoing success as Louisiana's flagship in-state game," said Lottery President Rose Hudson. "We're giving our players even more reasons to love Lotto during our Lotto Lagniappe promotion by offering free bonus entries into a raffle drawing for additional cash prizes."
During the third drawing, the $50,000 Lotto Lagniappe prize was won by raffle number 0642930, which was purchased at Fil-A-Sak on Martin Luther King Drive in Monroe. The $5,000 prize was won by raffle number 0668429, which was purchased at Veteran's Chevron on Veterans Boulevard in Metairie. There were also five winning Lotto Lagniappe raffle numbers worth $1,000 each:
- Number 0513165 purchased at Clinton Quick Stop on Plank Road in Clinton
- Number 0555168 purchased at Winn Dixie Store #1408 on Chef Menteur Highway in New Orleans
- Number 0556365 purchased at Kim's Sugarena LLC on W. Admiral Doyal Drive in New Iberia
- Number 0574842 purchased at Jack's All Ya Need on North 5th Street in Leesville
- Number 0577619 purchased at Circle K #9734 on South Walker Road in Walker
Lotto Lagniappe drawing results are also available on the Lottery's website, www.louisianalottery.com/lotto-lagniappe and via retailer Lottery ticket terminals.
As with all Lottery draw-style games, prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing at any Louisiana Lottery office. Original entry tickets are needed to claim any prize.
The Lottery's Lotto Lagniappe promotion continues through June 30, 2014. During this time, when players purchase a single-draw $5 Lotto ticket, they'll get a little something extra – an entry into a raffle drawing worth up to $50,000 cash. With each eligible $5 single-draw Lotto ticket purchase, a second "entry" ticket will print with a unique raffle number good for the next monthly Lotto Lagniappe drawing. Lotto Lagniappe entry tickets will feature a unique seven-digit raffle number which must match exactly a winning number drawn to win a prize.
"With eligible purchases, Lotto players will get their Lotto ticket plus a bonus entry ticket for the Lotto Lagniappe raffle, so be sure to look for two tickets," Hudson reminded players.
Each Lotto Lagniappe entry is good for one draw date, which is printed on the entry ticket. One monthly drawing remains and will be held on July 1 from entries generated during June. The following Lotto Lagniappe prizes will be awarded during that drawing: one winning number worth $50,000, one winning number worth $5,000 and five winning numbers worth $1,000.
Odds of winning a prize are dependent upon the number of Lotto Lagniappe entry tickets generated during each drawing entry period.
Complete game and promotional rules can be found in the Lotto and Lotto Lagniappe directives on the Lottery's website, www.louisianalottery.com.
Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing. Anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem should call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help.
