I have had three tree peonies do well for me for about five years. They always bloom a couple weeks before my regular peonies. This year I notice some non-tree peony stems coming up from the base of my tree peonies. The foliage and buds on these errant stems seem to be similar to my other peonies. My tree peonies bloomed last week, and my regular peonies (located elsewhere in the yard) and these errant stems appear to be ready to bloom next week.
I have several questions: Are tree peonies grown on different root stock (like roses tend to be, for those of us in northern climates)? Should I cut the non-tree peony stems or just enjoy them? Will they suck the vigor out of my tree peonies? How did they get there? Your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most tree peonies are grafts. What you are seeing is the nurse root sending up foliage. They will remove food from your tree peony. If they have buds I would allow one or more to bloom to see what the flower looks like. Couple of questions to ask yourself. Is the herbaceous flower something you want to keep? Sometimes they are quite nice. Did you plant the tp deep enough that it has developed it's own roots? You have a couple of options. Cut or pull the herbaceous stems now but you need to dig down carefully to see if you have roots coming off of the upper stem. This fall you should dig the plant checking for the tp's own roots on the upper part of the stem. If the roots are there cut the nurse root from the tp. Keeping if you like, give to someone, compost. Replant tp a little deeper so it will develop stronger roots. If there are no roots from the tp you need replant deeply with much of the tree peony stem below ground. Do not remove nurse root because the only nutritian the plant is receiving is from the nurse root. The idea is to plant the grafted tree peony deep enough that the nurse root dies and the tp portion sends out its own roots. |
Wow - I have exactly the same situation as we speak. Thanks to you both for asking and answering my question! Who would have guessed a tree peony, unlike most any other perennial/shrub you buy at a garden centre, appreciates being planted deeper than the pot it was growing in. |

Thank you for that info! I really think this situation was brought on by a number of things including: an aggressive "dog pruning" the tree peony involuntarily received a while back (it was both eaten and partially dug up by one of my dogs); and I probably didn't plant it deep enough to begin with because in the back of my head, I remember how herbaceous peonies don't bloom well with their eyes covered. I'm going to sit back and see how I feel about the new flowers, and will prune accordingly. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. |

Minimum Stay | 4 nights |
COME STAY A SPELL at Lakewood Cottage, a fine vacation home with luxury amenities for up to 8 discerning vacationers, nestled in the only beach community adjacent to the Indiana Dunes State Park -- offering beach-going, hiking and biking trails and bird watching opportunities galore! Our home is a secluded retreat perched on top of one the area's famous wooded sand dunes with a 'treehouse feel' and 3 levels of outdoor decks to take in the gorgeous views -- all while still being a very short stroll to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan!
OUTDOOR LIVING AND BEAUTIFUL VISTAS: From the moment you come through the front door, you will be struck by the "wall of windows" that brings the Dunes treetops right into the home in almost every room. The view will lead you out onto three levels of outdoor living space – 2000 square feet of decks -- where you can relax in our deck chairs or grill up a gourmet meal to enjoy al fresco. Although you will feel miles from civilization, you are only a short 5-10 minute walk to the fabulous beaches and hiking trails of the Indiana Dunes State Park and National Lakeshore beaches of Lake Michigan!
BEDROOMS: Lakewood Cottage accommodates up to 8 people in high style, in four sleeping room areas, each with comfortable queen-size bed and nice sitting area. And each sleeping area is nicely separated from the others by general use rooms (if not by floor). The Master Suite occupies the top floor, and has its own deck with café set for enjoying your morning coffee/tea/breakfast al fresco! The Library Suite has a separate sitting room stocked with great reads, and french doors to the lower level deck. Also on the lower level is the Canopy Bedroom which has beautiful wooded dune views and is adjacent to the lower level media room. The Sunroom sleeping area (on the main floor), when curtained off, boasts its own private screened-in porch and also has separate back deck access. All four sleeping areas have comfortable queen size beds (the Sunroom queen is a new hideabed). Each bed has at least 4 top quality pillows, too, and beautiful bedding for you to enjoy.
FINE AMENITIES: On the inside, this is a luxury retreat, stocked with all of the amenities you would expect in a fine hotel - and all of the comforts of a home: Beautifully designed furnishings, a gourmet cook's kitchen, a wood burning fireplace, fine spa towels and beautiful bedding, river-rock shower and jetted tub (in the 'master suite'), a reading library (in the 'library suite'), and original art and artifacts. We even have a Steinway baby grand for visiting pianists! Please note that this is our actual home that we share with a few vacationers every year -- it is not a 'beach shack' type rental home with 'rental furnishings' -- we have left all of our nice things for you to enjoy while here.
OCCUPANCY: Because we wish to make sure that Lakewood Cottage remains a premium quality property for future discerning vacationers, we have a firm occupancy limit of 8 guests, and smoking and pets are not allowed. Lakewood Cottage is therefore an ideal spot for 2-4 couples vacationing together, a family vacation, a girls get-away, or even a small business retreat or workshop (we have a big table)! Whether you are interested in day-hiking, biking rails-to-trails, sunning at the beach, wine or craft beer touring, bird watching, visiting the numerous area weekend markets and the myriad unique antique/boutique shopping districts, we can direct you to great spots for all of these activities in the area.
ENTERTAINING: The inviting open floor-plan and warm, vaulted pine ceilings of the adjacent kitchen, dining room and fireplace/piano room let everyone feel together while being comfortably spread-out on the main floor. The screen-in porch, also on the main level, is a very special place to take in the vast dunes views. There is formal seating for 8 at the large cherry dining table, with wooded dunes views for miles. There are two media areas - one on the upper floor and one on the lower, each with ample seating, large-screen televisions (with Comcast cable and HBO) and DVD players.
COOKING IS FUN at Lakewood Cottage -- in our gourmet kitchen featuring Sub-Zero and Bosch stainless appliances, double-ovens, a wine refrigerator, and a cocktail bar area. (We can point you to all the best gourmet grocers nearby.) The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you need for cooking and baking and dining (inside or out): Dansk and All-Clad cookwear, plenty of cooking utensils and small appliances (Cuisinart coffee station, slow-cooker, rice cooker, corn popper, toaster, mixer, etc.), indoor and outdoor dishware, cookware and serving pieces. The Weber gas grill is ready for you, too.
OTHER AMENITIES: We have tried to stock the house with most everything you will need to really take advantage of your vacation time; here are some other amenities we provide:
• High-speed WIFI throughout the house;
• Whole house audio with zoned music speakers on each floor and on the back decks (bring your iPod!)
• Beach towels, chairs, a beach umbrella and a picnic basket for your beach days;
• Hiking and biking trail maps;
• A library stocked with interesting reads;
• Two media room areas with large screen TVs, DVD players, Comcast cable and HBO;
• A selection of blockbuster DVDs, puzzles and board games; and
• Brochures and maps for our favorite spots.
WE CAN HELP GUIDE YOU . . . having lived – and entertained – in the area for nearly a decade, we are walking travel guides to this wonderful bit of hidden paradise.
• Hike over 16 miles of trails right next door in the Indiana Dunes State Park (Trail #9 is our pick for Lake Michigan overlook views)
• Hike to the Summit of Mt. Tom, the highest sand dune in Indiana (also at the State Park)
• Fill up our picnic basket and walk down to the beach for the day, where you can swim in Lake Michigan, beachcomb for sea glass, and watch boaters and sailboarders. On a clear day, you can see the Chicago Skyline in the far, far distance.

• Keep our back deck feeder full and look for cardinals, goldfinches, indigo buntings, hummingbirds, & red-headed woodpeckers, all frequent visitors
• Visit the Taltree Arboretum in Valparaiso and check out the Model Train Gardens
• Try your luck at one of three area casinos: Horseshoe, Blue Chip, or Four Winds (each with memorable steakhouses)
• Have a "spa-day" at one of the many nice spas in the area (or order an in-home massage -- we can direct you to our favorite 'on-location' masseuses!)
ABOUT OUR SPECIAL NEIGHBORHOOD: The Porter Beach neighborhood, which is located in-between the Dune Acres and Beverly Shores neighborhoods on the coastline, is a real find: There are only 100 lucky homeowners in this subdivision -- which is bordered on the East by the Indiana State Dunes Park property (only 1 mile to the entrance), on the North by Lake Michigan, and on the South by the Indiana National Lakeshore Forest! Looking at a map, you will find it 'right in the middle of the green' -- so although you are just 50 miles away from Chicago, you feel nestled in nature.

We both came to Indiana to find a peaceful retreat from our Chicago careers. But after meeting here and getting married, neither of us could part with our homes! So, we just recently decided to share our 'lake home' with others who are also looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat to call home for awhile.
Cheryl Vesh purchased this house in 2004
This property is one where you can lose time -- forget the outside world in this beautiful patch of seclusion. Please call us and we will share all of our 'must-sees' and 'must-dos' in the area.
Our home is unique in the Porter Beach neighborhood because of its ideal combination of 'treehouse privacy', luxury and access -- the beach and the Indiana Dunes State Park and National Lakeshore hiking trails are only 5 minutes from the front door.
Lakewood Cottage is a fine vacation home for discerning vacationers, a secluded retreat surrounded by treetop forested views while still being only a short walk to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan!

Hello I hope I am posting this in the correct area.if not let me know and I will move/delete it. I have a 1 1/2 year old bell pepper from a big box store. It was in poorly deained pot and was probably suffering major root probablems.I chopped it for winter and repoted it in sunshine mix#4 with a small amount of slow release vigoro 12-10-5 ,lime and some Indonesia bat guano. My question is do I pick the small fruits that are starting to appear? Will it start to shoot steams? Basic pruning and what to do next for it? Thank you I'm new to this and any shared knowlage would be greatly appreciated. Also is there a probablem using "sweet prilled lime" pellitized? |

If that's a current picture I would say it looks healthy. You said fruits are developing already? Do you want it to grow more? |
I want it to grow as big as possible since it is early in the season.right now it is just a stick with some leaves. Will it be ok to let it grow peppers or should I pull them off and allow for more veg growth?(there is very small peppers starting to form) As it gets bigger what pruning will help with its growth? Top it or fim it? Or just let it go? Thanks |

Leave it alone :-) Let it develop a nice full canopy. Are you sure that it is growing peppers....or are you seeing the flower buds form? Once the flowers are about to open, just pinch them off, and that'll keep the energy directed into producing foliage. Josh |

Agree. Once the flowers start to open just pinch em off. It helps throw energy into growing and less into flowering because flower takes a lot of energy. Are you using a window of lights? |
Mine that survived the little frost we have had had some winter pods developing. But because it's winter and the foliage is sparse, I pinched em. There is now way they would have developed into anything much. Need to encourage more foliage at this point. Kevin |
Ok thank.yea floweres, I was pinching them off to early to realise that they were flowers.it is out side in a very large pot in my drive way.when you say A window of light as in a small amount of time getting light? So I will wait till right before the flowers open to pull them off thanks. |
You don't even have to wait for flowers. You can pinch the buds. Once you see it developing more foliage, I'd stop pinching. Bells are weak producers as it is. You'll want as many flowers it can muster. Kevin |
What Nex? Now it needs lots of sunshine and warm weather to grow like crazy/ |
> "when you say A window of light as in a small amount of time getting light? " Meant "a window OR light". Question answered - it is outside. Be careful of leaving it sitting on a light-colored driveway that reflects light up onto the pot. Those black pots absorb a lot of heat. If the pot is larger, then that problem is smaller. Good luck! |

Great deals available for registered clubs
Posted in NatWest CricketForce 2008
All of us here on the NatWest CricketForce team are pleased to announce that we have recently added four new companies to our continually growing list of Official Supporters.
Just before Christmas we welcomed both Poweroll and SISIS to the team, with both offering excellent deals on their products.
Poweroll manufacture and provide cricket rollers, and also offer a repair service on grass rollers that cricket clubs may already own. The discounts available range from five to 10 per cent.
SISIS is Europe's leading designer and manufacturer of turf maintenance machinery for natural and synthetic playing surfaces. The products they provide include aerators, scarifiers and dethatchers, top dressers, sweepers, seeders and mowers. NatWest CricketForce registrants can get 12.5 per cent discount on these products.
Bowcom are producers of a revolutionary ground-drying machine which is designed to effectively and efficiently remove standing water from any surface. Owning one of these, known as the 'Bowdry', will help clubs to reduce the amount of games called off due to waterlogged pitches.
All NatWest CricketForce registered clubs can get 15 per cent off a 'Bowdry'; a 15 per cent discount is also available on the replacement foam kit and the drum exchange.
Finally, a massive deal for NatWest CricketForce and all registered clubs is the deal we've signed with Dulux Decorator Centres. All registered clubs will receive an exclusive discount card entitling them to a 20 per cent discount off all products (excluding spray machines, ladders and promotional lines).
Most clubs, over the course of their NatWest CricketForce event, will no doubt be painting at some point and so I'm sure they'll find this deal coming in very handy!!
We have another huge signing coming up very soon, watch this space!!!!!

While the credit markets were not as hot as they were Monday, there were some interesting deals launched - a few investors might consider looking into.
Tuesday's deals included:
Issuer | Rating | Tenor | Size | Spread |
Computer Sciences (NYSE:CSC) | Baa2/BBB | 3yr | $350MM | +220 |
Computer Sciences | Baa2/BBB | 10yr | $350MM | +280 |
Tucson Electric Pwr (NYSE:UNS) | Baa3/BBB- | 10.5yr | $150MM | +220 |
AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE:AZN) | A1/AA- | 7yr | $1,000MM | +85 |
AstraZeneca PLC | A1/AA- | 30yr | $1,000MM | +120 |
News America Inc. (NASDAQ:NWSA) | Baa1/BBB+ | 10yr | $1,000MM | +140 |
Tucson Electric term sheet. CSC term sheet, AstraZeneca prospectus.
In order to calculate the yield, the following are the relevant treasury points:
- 3yr: 0.33%
- 5yr: 0.67%
- 7yr: 1.13%
- 10yr: 1.71%
- 30yr: 2.86%
The credit markets continued their slow and steady march tighter as risk continues to be en vogue. The way I view spreads - as risk premiums relative to the risk free rate - the market continues to have value.
Source: Citi
The cash market and the credit default swap market (utilizing the CDX index) had slightly different opinions:
Source: Citi
Notice how on a month to date basis, both cash and CDS markets have been tightening, showing both investor appetite for spread product and the willingness to add risk.

Businessman Brides
Most of the business families in India marry their daughters in their early 20's and usually do not work after marriage. Businessman brides get married mostly through an arranged marriage where the parents through a match-maker search for a suitable life partner for their daughter. Indian brides love to dress and look their best on their wedding day and usually wear red color attire as red color is auspicious and a color for married women among Hindus. Marriage is a vital occasion for Indians.

Immigration reform 101: How would Senate plan actually work?
(Read article summary)Features of the bipartisan plan range from more drones along the Rio Grande to a path to citizenship for some 11 million people in the country illegally. But the fight is all about the details.
Gary Cameron/Reuters
On Monday a bipartisan group of eight senators unveiled a proposed overhaul of the US immigration system. The plan includes both increased border enforcement and an eventual path to citizenship for many of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country. Yet some important details of the effort remain undefined. According to what we know now, how would the immigration overhaul work?
We'll give you a stripped-down, "Immigration 101" version of the plan so you can follow debate on the issue in the days and weeks ahead.
First, the senatorial plan calls for devoting increased resources to what it calls "the basic governmental function of securing our borders." Specifically, it calls for increasing the use of drones and other electronic surveillance equipment, improving radio interoperability, and in general raising the number of agents at and between US border crossings.
"The purpose is to substantially lower the number of successful illegal border crossings while continuing to facilitate commerce," says the proposal.
Second, the plan calls for completion of a system capable of tracking whether people who enter the United States via temporary visas have left the country before their visas expire. Most surveys find that overstays range from 31 to 57 percent of those in the country illegally, according to the Congressional Research Service.
Third, it would establish a commission of Southwestern governors, attorneys general, and community leaders "to monitor the progress of securing our border and to make a recommendation regarding when the bill's security measures outlined in the legislation are completed."

Tulsa rookies graduate from police academy
A graduation ceremony is held for the Tulsa police department's newest rookies.
The 25 police officers and two fire marshals take the oath of office today after successfully completing academy classes. Chief Chuck Jordan says they will be officers-in-training the next 16 weeks before being able to go it alone on patrol.
Jordan says these graduates will help fill positions lost over the year due to retirements and attrition. Another class of 40 is planned to start in July.

Fear no letdown from Moss in 2008
Updated: March 4, 2008, 10:51 AM ET

In the past week, the New England Patriots lost cornerback Asante Samuel to the Philadelphia Eagles, and according to ESPN's John Clayton, the Pats came pretty close to losing Randy Moss to the Eagles as well.
According to some reports, the Eagles offered a larger total package, a larger annual salary and more guaranteed money than the Patriots did, and at various times Monday believed that they might very well have Moss locked up. In the end, either Moss was using the Eagles to drive ...

Republican National Convention
Opinion: Ann Romney's RNC Speech Helps Mitt's Image
The speech gave much of what Ann and Mitt Romney have been trying to reveal about themselves throughout the misleading negative campaigning of 2012 which has put them on some imaginary pedestal due to Mitt Romney's business success and extreme wealth. They, too, like most American families, have obviously experienced life's uncertain challenges intertwined with their successes.
Opinion: As Hurricane Isaac Threatens The GOP Continues To Party
As Hurricane Isaac threatens the Gulf again, we will see if Katrina and Isaac serve as bookends of GOP hostility to federal disaster relief. An odd stance for a party that claims to "choose life" while watching people die in natural disasters rather than provide an adequate response.
Opinion: Ron Paul's Legacy Deserves Better Than '2012 Spoiler'
Ron Paul's impact on the future of America and how the nation remembers his involvement with the GOP presidential campaign process of 2012 is his and his alone. By saying that he cannot fully support the Republican Party's choice and raising the discontentment of his supporters, he is on the verge of being best remembered as the presidential election spoiler – or attempted spoiler – of 2012.

Re:The older I get the more it kills me (144 comments)
I'm 63 and I don't feel that unwell nor have joint pains if I get less than 4 hours sleep, except for feeling groggy and having aching eyes the first few minutes after waking in the morning. Though I endeavour to get at least 6 hours a night. Now I try to get to sleep not much after 10pm, but I'm normally up & dressed by 7am most mornings regardless.
There is enough research on humans, to suggest that adequate sleep is important for mental health for me to take it seriously. Similarly, for adequate exercise - I aim to get at least 1 hours fast walking every day on average, preferably up to 2 hours.
If I a really pushing myself to learn new stuff or doing a lot of programming that is technically challenging or particularly frustrating, then I get tired earlier.
In my early 40's I took over maintenance of a program generator which created another program that created SQL, written in a 4GL (PROGRESS 6, from memory). It was the most intense sustained mental effort I ever had in my career. I needed 2 extra hours of sleep most nights!
However, different people get affected differently.

No, Sinclair BASIC was horrendous!
Acorn with the BBC Micro and descendants (such as the Acorn Archimedes) were far superior in terms of programming both at the BASIC & Assembly level.
Acorn BASIC had named subroutines with parameters, looping constructs, and IF ELSE statements. There was never any need to resort to GOTO's and GOSUB's! Also you had well defined ways to invoking Operating System functionality without resorting to the equivalent of PEEK's and POKE's - to the extent that most programs could be transferred from the 8 bit 6502 based machines to the 32 bit ARM based machines without changes other than slowing them down (as the latter were far faster).
Note that Acorn developed the ARM family of processors which are now the most widely used processor, and used in most modern smart mobile phones.

His uncle after some discussion, suggests he asks the most senior member, a retired General. The General, is sitting smoking a cigar, sipping his claret, and reading the Times. After the young Australian asks the question, the General explodes saying "Confound it sir!" - the young man beats a hasty retreat.

Re:No, UI designers went crazy. (503 comments)
Well if they had called it something else, like 'Fashionista' or something, and had actually maintained GNOME 2 (as far the user functionality was concerned, all they really needed to do was add back in the useful functionality they had dropped!). It would not have been so bad, but it was definitely not an upgrade to GNOME 2.
My hardware is fairly modern, Haswell processor, 32GB of RAM.
I have 35 virtual desktops, I have a grid of 5 rows by 7 columns in my top panel. I tend use the virtual desktops in a consistent fashion, and I have about 5 relating to different aspects of my main project.
Within one virtual desktop: often I want to look at at 2 or 3 windows in quick succession relating to what I am doing in just one aspect of my project. I frequently want to look at a browser tab, type stuff into an editor, & then execute a command in a terminal (additionally, check an API in another browser instance).
To get at applications, I use several methods depending on the nature of the app & how often I use it. For update & installs I use yum in a terminal, more control & get more useful feedback, instead of the GUI version.
Ways I use to launch an app:
icon on a panel
menu on top panel
right click menu on a window (e.g. to get a terminal for the directory window I'm on)
icon in a pull down drawer
typing the first few characters in a terminal and then pressing tab
hot key combination
I have hot key combinations for:
a terminal,
pluma (text editor),
LibreOffice writer,
& Seamonkey.
I have an Android phone with version 4.4.2. I find the interface cluttered, and would like to remove most of the Apps. However. I am happy to use a different GUI on my phone than my desktop - though a built in terminal would be nice (in case I have to log into a server while I'm out).
I found the arguments for the changes in GNOME 3 unconvincing, to put it diplomatically. I hate this dumbing down approach, dumb people can always go to Apple.
Re:No, UI designers went crazy. (503 comments)
Possibly, but after what the GNOME developers did, I no longer trust them. There were a host of things I found useful in GNOME 2, some of which the GNOME developers had already dropped before GNOME 3 - the changes in GNOME 3 were the last straw.
Anyhow, I suspect that Mate is easier to configure the way I want to operate than GNOME 3 - even assuming GNOME 3 has the features & functionality I needed.
I am very, very, glad I was not supporting any clients relying on the GNOME 2 desktop.

If you're willing to spend at least a minimum amount of time and resources on trying out a new and potentially relevant social network when it first launches, then it might be worthy of the gamble in the long-term. If the social network doesn't become the next Snapchat, then your team has only allocated minimal resources to experimenting with this network and will have to take the loss.

Here's a comprehensive but palatable guide to writing a business plan. You will find links to examples and additional information. It's worth a read if you want to start a business.

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

The daughter of a Honduran journalist was shot and killed late on Dec.
15, when gunman attacked her car, according to media reports on Dec. 16.
The journalist was allegedly a supporter of the interim government in
Honduras, which has presided over the country since the June 28 coup and
was bolstered at the Nov. 29 elections that elected National Party
candidate Porfirio Lobo as the next president. Details are scarce, but
the murder follows the drive-by shooting and killing of an opposition
activist on Dec. 13, a member of the National Resistance Front that
opposes the interim government. Meanwhile unconfirmed reports from
Venezuelan media claim that another member of the opposition was
decapitated whoa, decapitated? isn't that pretty unusual for Honduras? i
thought that was just happening in mex over the weekend.
At the moment there are insufficient details to determine whether the
killings were politically motivated. Honduras suffers from high levels
of crime associated with narcotics trafficking, so it is premature to
draw conclusions about the nature of these crimes. However, in two days
there have been the murder of a journalist and an activist, both
politically connected positions, both killed by drive-by gunmen in
public. These killings follow the Dec. 8 murders of a retired army
colonel (and cousin of the interim President Roberto Micheletti) and the
chief anti-drug trafficking official. There have been other allegedly
politically linked killings, as well as kidnappings and minor explosives
incidents, since the June 28 coup.
Moreover recent political events have sharpened the civil dispute
arising from the coup. The party of the interim government was
reinforced during elections on Nov. 29. Also, the ousted President
Manuel Zelaya was denied the opportunity to finish his term by a
legislative vote on Dec. 3, and not allowed to leave the country for
Mexico, drawing international condemnation.
Hence the question arises as to whether tensions across the country's
stark political divide are escalating into tit-for-tat violence. The new
administration will take office on January 27, and future President Lobo
has called for reconciliation. But for some factions the election does
not resolve the problem of the status of the ousted former president,
and elements in the opposition will not view the new government as
legitimate. If politically symbolic killings become frequent, there is
danger of violence escalating into worse civil strife.

It's not often that biotic warfare takes place on the walls of France, but Ludo's newest nature graffiti has butterflies and avocados taking up arms. Whether there's a political message backing the artwork or not, the creations are definitely distinct and providing an interesting concept to think about.
In the wars of the past, biological warfare meant the use of toxins and infectious agents in order to spread death in massive waves across enemy armies. Ludo's nature graffiti has evolved the idea by instead having organic beings and objects sporting all sorts of different weapons. From beetles carrying gigantic cannons to hidden explosives being kept in the pit of an avocado, the imaginative natural weapons definitely push the boundaries. Graffiti is truly one of the most expressive forms of art and Ludo has definitely communicated his superb creativity with these pieces.

I just received my new chest freezer and had to mod it a bit, but it works! I use blichmann 7gal conicals and the freezer is a Danby DCF550W1 5.5 cu.ft. Chest Freezer. If you're scouting a similar solution i'd try to find one that was a few inches taller, though I had a tough time. 5 cubic feet will be plenty pretty much whatever dimensions as long as you have enough height. pics attached. The second one shows the little bit I had to dig out of the top insulation to get it to close over the blichmann's pressure weight and blowoff. Sorry if this post seems obvious, but I didn't find a lot of pics and reference stuff out there for people lagering with these conicals so I figured I'd share it.
Just curious as I've always wondered this, do you rack your beer from your boil kettle while the conical is already in the freezer or do you fill then lift conical full of beer and place inside. How about when its time to dump trub and rack the beer to bottles / keg. I would think it would be sort of heavy and awkward having to lift it in/ out while full.
I need to get a furniture mover but the easiest solution would be to put the empty vessel in the freezer and transfer the beer there from the boil kettle. I'll probably just hoist it for now. The blichmann has fly out handles that make it easier to heave. For trub dumping I should be able to do that right in the freezer as there is a decent amount of room in there. For transferring the beer out if you really didn't want to lift and let gravity work you can hook up CO2 to the conical and push the beer out!

Sonal Sehgal has kicked away her sedate, serene image for good. As the pretty gal gears up to sizzle at the 70mm screen looking like a diva in Himesh Reshammiya starreer- Damadamm, Sonal says boo to boring, and dons the glam avatar with aplomb.
Oomph is wow!
The lady, who has already given an inkling of the things to come in her sweltering item number Umrao Jaan of Damadamm, says without any inhibition: "Till date I have played the good gal in films like Aashayein, Jaane Kahan Se aayi Hai and Radio. But, I am loving my sexy avatar in Damadamm now. I play the other woman, who completely floors Himesh with her chilled-out viewpoint and oomph quotient, and is in sharp contrast with his seedhi-saadhi wife. I know I look sizzling hot in the movie and I am sure audience will love this makeover of mine!"
Stork can wait!
When she is all ready to sizzle, ask her when is the stork visiting, and Sonal says with a throaty chuckle: "My husband Naresh Kamath is very busy as the bass guitarist of Kailash Kher's band, and I am also enjoying my stint in Bollywood. So, stork will have to wait for a while. Later, we definitely have plans to welcome a baby in our world!"
