Bev. Received my seeds yesterday. Thank you.
Glorious sunshine today in the North West. The sky clouded over a couple of times this morning and it looked like rain but has stayed dry all day.
Painted the back fence and if it stays fine tomorrow will paint the trellis, I ran out of wood preserve, so it's a trip down to B & Q first thing.
Some of my seedlings are beginning to grow true leaves although you might need a magnifying glass to see them
Read somewhere Parsley can be irratic at germination, it's also a biennial, try sowing it later in the year. Last year I sowed some about June/July time and planted it out late September in a sheltered nursery bed. to over winter.
It's still a little early to be sowing some herbs. Basil and coriander for instance, like it to be warmer. Basil's a meditarenian plant, some varieties do better in our climate, than others, I grow Minette which does well here in the North West.
I don't think it's worth sowing perennial herbs when you only want one plant, far cheaper just to buy the plant from a GC or nursery. Chives, thyme, rosemary, lemon balm and mint don't seem to mind our most harsh winters, I'm sure there are others and so you don't need to keep sowing once you've bought your first plant and all these can easily be split.
I had the same problem with supermarket bought herbs so never buy them now.
Where did cod go
Another sunny day although there was a chill in the air.
Didn't get out in the garden apart from putting peas in the GH for the day and then bringing them indoors at tea time. Most of my daffs are now out, some for a few weeks.
The garden seems to be coming alive, All the bulbs planted out last Autumn are putting out lots of leaves, some are budding and some perennials are beginning to grow. Bellis are in flower along with primula's.
I have Clematis, Freckles and Jingle Bells and found them to grow very quickly, didn't do well the first year as they where both in pots but once planted out both covered a trellis that year and are evergreen.
Solanum Glasnevin is semi-evergreen, keeps it's leaves in mild winters and has pretty little lilac coloured flowers. Honey Suckle, Darts World is evergreen.
Not sure about Ivy but Clemantis cirrhosa - jingle bells is an evergreen, can't remember the name of the other one which I grow, non invasive but has rigorous growth. Flowers at Christmas time or shortly afterwards.
Just found this thread. Was beginning to think my postings where being ignored and the tiny writing problem was my computer, lets to hope it's sorted soon.
I agree with cod too.
Always thought woodlice were good guys, happy to be wrong.

I love my old stuff. I couldn't get rid of it when I wrote this piece back in 1987, and I can't get rid of it now. The ski boots and baby bottles are gone, but we still have the crutches.

Even though Rob calls Los Angeles home, a source close to the 'Twilight' actor tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that living there has been unbelievably stressful for him since breaking up with Kristen.
Robert Pattinson was able to escape from Los Angeles for a week to film in Toronto, Canada on July 17, but now that he's back, is he more worried than ever about running into his ex, Kristen Stewart?
Robert Pattinson Nervous About Seeing Kristen Stewart
"He's bracing himself to run into her in some capacity," a source close to Rob tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. It's never easy to see an ex-girlfriend, and even though Rob and K-Stew have been broken up since May, they've totally kept their distance from each other. So thinking ahead to the first time he bumps into Kristen, Rob really has no idea how the interaction will go — and that's terrifying for him.
But it's going to happen eventually — they live in the same city. "They are in the same social circles, they like the same music," the source says, "he's just hoping they can both be adults and it won't hurt too much."
Robert Pattinson: Is He Avoiding Kristen Stewart?
Rob currently seems to be delaying the inevitable because of that worry the seeing Kristen will be too painful. On July 25, he went out for a sushi dinner at Shu in a tucked-away corner of Bel Air, which was the perfect place to go if he was trying to avoid K-Stew, a source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively:
Shu is in Bel Air in a small shopping complex, which is about as far as you could get away from Silver Lake/Los Feliz — both the distance and the vibe. It's a place Kristen would probably never go.
We can completely understand Rob's trepidations — it's hard enough to get over a long relationship, seeing the ex for the first time is an even harder step to take. But like Rob, we too hope they can both be civil and that everything goes smoothly when that day comes. And who knows, maybe bumping into each other might spark a reunion!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Hollywood is not going to stop with their lies until they suck as much money out of our Twilight obsessions as they can.
With Katy Perry's recently confirming that Kristen & Robert's romantic relationship WAS REAL – I've got a BELIEVABLE explanation about those cheating photos that MOST COINCIDES with Kristen's public apology. I know we've been debating whether or not that apology was real – but ANY publicist would have advised her to come clean as soon as the situation happened. The source for that apology COULD have been someone in Kristen's camp.
Kristen did NOT cheat on Robert with Rupert (this is the reason they reunited so soon) – she got caught fending off a predatory boss, and the photos were manipulated to either make things look WORSE to drive us all as crazy as possible, OR they were manipulated to 'tone them down' so Twilight Fans would be more easy to manipulate through all this.
The MAJORITY of Hollywood's stories at the time ALL the way up until now have been outright LIES because they are TRYING to get Kris or Rob to 'say something' – because if they can get them to correct what's being said about them, that's more REAL fodder for them to twist around for us, which equals even MORE money for them.
I even thoroughly DEBUNK the 'staged stunt' and 'fake photo' theories. It's FASCINATING – you have to read between the lines, Ladies. Come check it out and SIGN the PETITIONS to set them and us FREE from these Hollywood LIES.
Search: explaintwilightbreakingdawnending on blogspot – just like that. I just got done putting up a condensed SUMMARY about all of this right up at the top so you don't have to search around for it.
It would be really cool if we Twihards could UNITE and SHOCK THE WORLD with this big TwiBomb as an Anniversary Present to our beloved Hollywood's Gossip Tabloids and Paparazzi who care SO DAMN MUCH for Freedom of Speech!

I'm kind of eh at playing AD carries on summoners rift but I always like it in ARAM. I think it's because positioning is easier since fights tend to be more clustered and it's easier to keep track of where everyone is.
Yeah. Plus most of the ADCs have nice longrange and utility abilities that make them pretty strong. Ashe - Volley spam does modest damage but the slow can setup plays by your allies. Bush control via Hawkeye. Crystal arrow for initiation. Sivir - Boomerang Blade. Ability to bait spells with her Spell Shield. Ult gives her an Overrun (or quick withdraw) option. Ezreal - amazing Q poke. Ult is good too. Flash good for dodging projectiles and melee dudes if caught by a snare or something. Miss fortune - really strong ult. Make it rain is decent (if expensive). Much easier to dodge projectiles with her speed. Graves - Buckshot is quite strong poke, as is Ult. Smokescreen can really mess up their counterpoke and hoze their teamfighting dynamic when one of their melee guys engages. Kog - Ult has extreme range. Puke carpet is a solid poke and probably the best thing to level up first (since honestly barrage doenst do much till midgame when you have some items).
Junior Member
Once got to level 18 on proving grounds without dieing as varus, the poke was insane even with just philosophers stone :P
Caitlin is simply a god mode adc on this map. Traps give amazing bush control, extremely long range poke that isn't blocked by minions, auto attacks in themselves are good poke with 650 range, which also lets her be always safe in fights (then just net away whenever things get too scary...) Plus ult is unavoidable harass that can be really annoying to deal with.
I'm assuming you're referring to ranged carries, which are great on PG, but I like the melee bruisers just as much. On SR, they are usually relegated to being offtanks, but in PG they are able to carry. I'm talking champs like Xin Zhao, Wukong, Olaf and Jax.

This is the point where Hitsugaya would have to jump between you two and put you both under arrest.
IMHO Hitsugaya is your classic case of the child genius, who, while he has many responsibilities, doesn't always get the same respect. He constantly has to be stoic because he's afraid that if he shows any sign of immaturity he might lose face. I think he gets embarassed around Rangiku because she sees through his demeanor. I also agree with HTG that they provide a lot of comic relief.
The bigger question is, If Hitsugaya has the strongest Ice type ZP then why is it so friggin weak? I mean even if it isn't fully developed, he should still do a little pwning with the thing, yeah? I'd really like to see him kick ass like he did in the first fight we see him in.

Tuesday, June 29
Busch Stadium
Attendance: 38,736
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Albert Pujols homered twice as part of a three-hit night and drove in five runs, pacing St. Louis to an 8-0 hammering of the Diamondbacks.
Arizona committed two errors in the ninth inning of a 6-5 loss on Monday, but the suspense in the middle installment of this three-game set was taken away quickly as Pujols belted two-run homers in the third and fifth innings.
Adam Wainwright (11-5) struck out seven batters in 6 1/3 shutout innings. The right-hander allowed five hits and walked three, but moved to 8-0 this season at Busch Stadium.
Felipe Lopez went 4-for-5 with three runs scored for the Cardinals.
Pujols tied Stan Musial for the Cardinals record with 37 career multi-homer games.
"You have to be amazing to do that in your 10th year to be in the sentence with Stan," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.
Dontrelle Willis (1-1) surrendered seven hits and five runs over four-plus innings for Arizona, which lost for the 18th time in its last 21 road games.
Lopez singled leading off the bottom of the third and Pujols followed with his 17th homer of the season, a blast to left.
Wainwright escaped a bases-loaded, no-out pickle in the fifth by fanning Willis, getting Kelly Johnson to ground into a force play and then retiring Tony Abreu on a line out to short.
"Against Wainwright in a 2-0 game, you certainly have to come away with at least one to cut it in half, if not tie the game or go ahead," Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch said.
The Cardinals tacked on four runs in the fifth, again started by a familiar tandem. Lopez singled to begin the frame and Pujols crushed Willis' first offering over the wall in right. Wainwright singled in a run later in the frame and Aaron Miles followed with an RBI double for a commanding 6-0 lead.
Pujols stroked an RBI double in the sixth and then scored on a wild pitch from Sam Demel.

Desert Luxury within Reach – Esmeralda Renaissance Resort and Spa in Indian Wells
The Esmeralda Renaissance Resort & Spa was listed in Conde' Nast as one world's best places to stay, so the quality of the property and the service should not be a surprise. The surprise is just how low a price a savvy shopper can get to experience such world class hotel. Choosing off nights, using services like Priceline.com or Hotels.com and checking out rates specific for military and government employees may land you in the lap of luxury for as little as $90 a night.
Located in the exclusive community of Indian Wells just outside of Palm Springs, CA, The Esmeralda Renaissance is positions at the highest end of the product offerings from the Marriott Corporation. The grounds co-mingle with the Indian Wells Golf Resort as seen on the Golf Channels "The Big Break". The location has beautiful views of the course and surrounding mountains, and truly feels like a vacation oasis. Entering the drive that the resort shares with the Golf Resort and the Hyatt gives the visitor the same feeling that some areas of the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida only with a decidedly more "adult" flare.
The lobby, lower lobby and pool area of the resort are sleek, elegant and modern, with plenty to explore. A grand staircase connects upper and lower lobby with rooms surrounding the towering atrium above. Branching from the lobbies are a full service spa, a quasi-Starbucks, a dance club, convention space and other meeting spaces that are stylish and unique to the property. The lower level features a full bar, but on occasions it is closed, alternating time with the poolside bar.
The resort does feature a restaurant, and food available at poolside. The biggest downside to the area is that outside food is a bit of a drive away and the hours of most restaurants (even fast food) are not friendly to late arrivals. Room service has a very limited menu after 10 pm and cuts off at midnight during the week. Anyone driving in from the LA area should make sure to stop along the main highway for dinner before heading into the Indian Wells/La Quinta area or they may be in for a long hungry night.
The pool area is simply stunning, featuring three pools, plenty of lounge chairs, a great bar and a beautiful waterfall. There is a mini-beach play area for kids. The downside is that for some reason every area of the pool is very shallow.
Most parts are as shallow as 3 feet, and some areas are even miss-marked to say 4 feet when they may be as much as 5. This seems very odd but it is still a good place to float around, cool off, have a cocktail and relax. Many guests seem to gravitate to the side of the pool next to the bar to have a drink, which seems like a missed opportunity for the resort to notice this and modify the pool to have a swim up bar like some Sandals resorts do. The hotel does have a moderate "resort fee" but it includes access to equipment such as bicycles, the workout room and includes parking.
The rooms are of a good size, not too large not cramped. They are impeccably furnished and in amazing condition (i.e. carpets look brand new, nothing out of place in terms of paint, tile etc.). They feature a mini-bar, large LCD TV, great selection of programming. Depending on your choice of room views vary from pool, to golf course to mountain view. Most views will be relaxing and luxurious and the windows do open to a very small railed balcony in many cases: Not enough to stand on but something to enjoy the desert air and the view.
The greatest thing about this resort is its proximity to the LA area yet how remote it feels. Within a short drive from anywhere in southern California and a reasonable drive from northern California, the resort provides the full-on vacation feeling that usually requires a five hour flight and a few thousand dollars. Be a Savvy traveler, pick the dates correctly and live in luxury for the price of a Holiday Inn Express.

Obviously once Page fights a real fighter he's going to lose, but he's also only 3-0, very early in his career, and if he keeps fighting guys with the same experience as him this will keep happening and it will still be entertaining.

Doyle Brunson November 3, 2012
I love his antics. Fighters who can make it an entertaining show are awesome in my books. I loved the Anderson/Leitis fight. Anderson goofed him so hard and made him look like a child, similar to the way Page fights. He just fucks with people with his stupid movements but can back it up with affecting striking. I hope he fights better competition and does the same goofy shit in the cage. Hes only 22! war page

Down and dirty YA apocalyptic fiction,
This review is from: Enclave (Hardcover)
I know what you're probably thinking - yet another YA piece of dreck. While walking through the library a few weeks ago, I saw Enclave on shelf labeled - Staff Suggestions - and the cover intrigued me. After reading it, I have to admit it was pretty good.
Enclave is a post-apocalyptic dystopian novel set in the future. After most of mankind had been wiped out by biological warfare, humans survive in underground towns, fighting off Freaks, mutated humans possessing razor sharp teeth and claws with a hunger for flesh - human or otherwise. In one enclave located underneath the ruins of New York City, Deuce reaches her fifteenth birthday, which given the vastly shorter lifespans of humans, is an accomplishment in and of itself. Enclaves consists of four types of people; Brats, those under the age of 15, Hunters, tasked with protecting the enclave and finding food, Breeders charged with repopulating the enclave, and Builders, who manufacture tools and weapons for the Enclave. Having just reached 15, Deuce has gone from being a brat to a hunter and is partnered with Fade, arguably the best Hunter in the Enclave, and travelling with him, gets her first glimpses of life outside the Enclave. The book has plenty of action, character development and the world is breathtakingly described. The story is as harsh and raw as the world it portrays. While I would have preferred more information on what had happened to humanity, the novel was an interesting read. It wasn't as good as Hunger Games, but it was better than its two sequels. While I wouldn't buy the hardcover (mostly due the shortness of the book), I would recommend getting an e-book or getting a paperback whenever that comes out.

Amazing, Suspenseful, Interesting, 3am,
By Kirstie (Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enclave (Hardcover)
I just finished this book, it's currently three in the morning. I read the whole thing tonight because it was that good. I couldn't put it down. I tried, when sensibility kicked in and said that I should probably go to bed. However, I couldn't stop thinking about it so I had to pick it back up and read it till the end.
It's hard to describe the mind set of Deuce without having started reading. She isn't like a normal 15 year old girl. Growing up in a world of rules and training, she has no concept of anything else. She's a likeable protagonist, even if at times you just want to shake her and make her see what's really happening. But at the same time, if she did it wouldn't follow her character. That is one of the things that the author did remarkably well, keeping characters true to their upbringing and beliefs throughout the novel. I also fell in love with Fade, and I don't even know exactly why, he's such a great character it's hard to resist. This book was amazing. It was suspenseful the entire time without being repetitive. It kept me so tense and scared the whole time there was no way I could put it down. It's the type of book that draws you in and never lets go, even after you've read it to the end. I can't wait to read the sequel, Outpost, and I'm sure after that I won't be able to wait for the third and final book either. I'm still on such a high of adrenalin after finishing that book I probably won't even sleep now. I can't recommend this book enough, read it! -Especially for anyone who was a fan of The Forest of Hand and Teeth.

By Michele James (BC CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enclave (Hardcover)
I didn't know what I was getting into when I read this book, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me of the set up of the video game, Fallout 3. Something has happened that has wiped out most of human civilization and we are left with weird mutated 'Freaks' that need to be killed (or they will kill you). Separate, secluded territories are all fighting for the same goal: survival. Our main character, Deuce, is a female from one of these secluded territories and she hopes to become a Huntress – someone that protects the territory by killing Freaks. It is an honorable position to have within the social structure, but there are other options such as being a Builder or Breeder. I liked the detail of how the civilization was run day-to-day, and how both the positives and negatives were highlighted.
Of course, this book boils down to survival. There are some great action scenes involving the Freaks with lots of blood, gore, and creepiness. Every survival instinct is kicked in, and luckily, the author seems to know what she is talking about. I liked Deuce. She was a strong character, but she was also stubborn. At first, her stubbornness was a bit annoying but she was open minded enough to consider different perspectives to alter her opinions. Fade was also a great character, but I felt a bit distanced by him. He definitely has that mysterious edge to him, so I am hoping to learn more about him in the future books. The pacing was really well done. By the halfway point, a major plot change happened which opened up far more possibilities for our characters. Just like if it were real, as soon as the characters felt like they could relax, you knew something was about to happen. I liked that we got some answers as to how the world got to be the way it is, but we don't get all the answers. I am hopeful that in future books we will get more answers about what happened and what will happen. Overall, I recommend this book!

This review is from: Enclave (Hardcover)
Enclave is an excellent post-apocalyptic novel. Humans live in an underground "enclave" with rigid, sometimes brutal, rules. They live in constant fear of the "Freaks" endlessly hungry, human-like creatures that will attack and eat anything-and anyone. Deuce is a young huntress within her enclave, who, with her recently assigned hunting partner, Fade, must battle the Freaks daily in order to hunt food for the members of the enclave. While she starts out believing that the strict rules of the enclave are in place to keep them all alive, and never questions them, Fade's mistrust of their authorities gradually leads her to see her world in a different way, and ultimately leads her out into a completely new world.
I really enjoyed Enclave. It is a fascinating twist on the concept of the popular zombie apocalypse, with the viscous, constantly hungry Freaks filling the role of the zombies (while we do not know where they come from, they definitely behave similarly). I found that Deuce was a well developed, strong female lead, and that she and Fade work together wonderfully. It is mostly action, with a little bit of romance and more humor than I was expecting. The references to the pre-apocalypse world are well done. Overall it was was an excellent read, and a very good start to a trilogy (the second book, now called Outpost is to be released Sept. 4, 2012, followed by Horde, release date tba)

I enjoyed the setting and the world building in this book.,
This review is from: Enclave (Hardcover)
Deuce is a huntress, protector of the enclave from the zombies. She's partnered up with Fade, another hunter. He's not like the others because he comes from Topside. Where she lives is deep in the tunnels of the underground where they try to live their lives. Deuce finds she can't trust the elders anymore, not with her ever growing suspicions. She trusts Fade and together they lead a tale of survival, and mystery. Why are there muties? Was the plague the cause of the demise of the human population? Is there a safe place up north just like Fade's father said? So many questions that leave me wanting more!
I enjoyed the setting and the world building in this book. What we don't know is what happened to the rest of the population. My guess includes a virus that more or less decimated the human population while a virus was made to treat it. Only it didn't treat the virus, it made them into monsters. Ratng 4/5

Great Dystopian!,
This review is from: Enclave (Hardcover)
After a terrible disease hit the world has we know it, the survivors were scattered into small groups, trying to survive as best as they could. Multiple generations later, people don't remember anything from the old world and now live in Enclaves underground, fighting off Freaks - some kind of flesh eating zombies. Deuce lives in one of those Enclaves, and it's everything she's ever known. But her life will be turned upside-down when her faith is shaken-up. Can she deal with those new changes?
Enclave was such a great dystopian novel! I really liked the world Ann Aguirre created and really appreciated the contrast between the two halves of the book. She painted societies with such precision that it's easy to imagine the world our heroes lives in. The characters were amazing. Fearless, layered and complimentary, Ann couldn't have done a better job. They are fierce and even though they get close, there isn't any proper romance to speak of. I like that they were surprising, resourceful and determined in their quest. Deuce and Fade are truly awesome and I even came to appreciate Stalker at the end. Enclave is harsh and raw and only the strong ones survive. Who will still be standing at the end of their journey? I strongly recommend this read the fans of Hunger Games and Divergent. Enclave is different, but just has entertaining! A must read for dystopian lovers. Sign me up for the sequel!

This review is from: Enclave (Audio CD)
There's nothing I enjoy more than discovering a book I would not have picked up on my own and finding out I really loved it. I received ENCLAVE for review without any prior background information on the story. I popped the first CD into my car's stereo and was immediately hooked.
ENCLAVE takes place in the indeterminate future. Deuce lives underground in the tunnels, where making it to 15 years old is a big deal. For those who make it, they can earn the right to be named. Prior to naming, the kids are called "brats" and are merely named "Girl 15" and so on. In Deuce's enclave, College, there are the hunters, the builders, and the breeders. All Deuce has ever wanted to be is a Huntress. When she succeeds in her training, she is surprised at being paired with Fade. Though Fade is probably the best hunter of all, he is an outsider, and one who the others wonder about. He came from Topside. No one can survive Topside, yet somehow he has. Through a series of decisions, Deuce and Fade find themselves out of favor with the elders and are soon banished to the aforementioned Topside. Both of them know that the elders are mistaken and unwilling to listen to the truth, but neither can convince them to listen. So the two set off, determined to survive in a world that is totally different from everything Deuce has ever known. Deuce and Fade must face many obstacles, including the Freaks (think zombies), gangs, and a city in total ruins. Gangs see Deuce as simply a vehicle for breeding, but she soon shows them her skills with weapons. Fade and Deuce are a formidable team, and are aided by an unlikely female. With the help of Tegan, the three attempt to journey north, to the land that Fade's father always said existed. ENCLAVE was constant action from the moment that Deuce is named to the final lines of the story. Ms. Bauer reads the tale with all the tension and anticipation that is Deuce's world. She gave life to Deuce and her unending determination to survive, no matter the cost. This is the type of story that lends itself well to the audiobook format. It's a dark tale, and listening to Ms. Bauer describe the world of the enclave and the tunnels, the listener can close their eyes (well, I couldn't since I was driving!) and totally picture everything being described. Deuce is an amazing girl. She is strong, faithful, and unwilling to quit. She refuses to leave anyone behind who has helped her, and stands her ground when faced with staggering odds. I don't know if there will be a continuation of the story (I need to know how Tegan turns out!), but I for one would greedily scoop it up if there is a sequel. Reviewed by: Jaglvr |

A banker's punishment: Sir Fred Goodwin is now just Fred
Fred Goodwin, the former head of the Royal Bank of Scotland, was stripped of his knighthood for his role in the bank's 2008 crisis. But it's not clear hefty bonuses will get similar treatment.
Danny Lawson/AP/File
In the good times he was the doyen of British banking. Wealthy and courted by decision makers and knighted by Queen Elizabeth for services to his industry, Sir Fred Goodwin, head of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), seemed invincible.
But then the financial crisis struck in 2008 and his one-time provincial bank – which had grown to be one of the world's biggest under his leadership – had to ask for a £43 billion ($68 billion) government bailout, effectively nationalizing it.
Sir Fred, with his reputation for arrogance and cost-cutting, earning him the nickname "Fred the Shred," is a household name. An affair with a senior colleague, which he tried to keep quiet through the courts, and a £342,000 ($545,000) annual pension – reduced from £703,000 ($1.1 million) only after public outcry – only added to the public image.
This week the government stripped him of his knighthood for his role in the bank's failure. He now joins the ranks of an unlamented group of former "sirs,"including Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe, former Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu, and financer Allen Stanford.

The Fresh Meet Fall Bash Car Show will take place Sunday at Wall Stadium and it will benefit the Childhood Leukemia Foundation.
When it comes to helping kids battling cancer, there is so much that can be done to help the children as well as their families, and the Childhood Leukemia Foundation offers many programs.
I was honored to host the Childhood Leukemia Foundation's Auction of Hope yesterday at Woodlake Country Club in Lakewood.
It is a big event for a group that helps educate, empower and raise awareness and the necessary funds to support programs that benefit children living with cancer. Please attend the Childhood Leukemia Foundation's Auction of Hope.
The Childhood Leukemia Foundation is proud to present the 5th annual Auction of Hope to raise money to help kids battling cancer.
Spring is here at the Jersey Shore and that means better weather and plenty of opportunities to help worthy causes in our area.
As children all over Monmouth and Ocean Counties battle cancer, the Childhood Leukemia Foundation continues to offer help and support to families each and every day, and they would love your support.
Sometimes Mondays can be a tough day to get inspired to do anything, but if you knew you could help kids battling cancer, that would certainly inspire you, right?
This summer, 94.3 The Point and Irwin Cars in Freehold are teaming up to "Pay It Forward." We're visiting local non-profits and charities to spread the good word and lend a helping hand. Recently, we paid a visit to the Childhood Leukemia Foundation, based out of Brick.
The Childhood Leukemia Foundation has been there for so many kids in our area who are battling cancer as well as lending support to their families. Here's a great way you can make a big difference in their important work.
When I saw the photo on the Childhood Leukemia Foundation Facebook page, it brought a tear to my eye. In a world full of drama and horrific headlines, here was a story about hope.

Frostbite occurs when the skin and body tissue just underneath it freezes. Your skin becomes very cold, then numb, hard and pale. Frostbite typically affects smaller, more exposed areas of your body, such as your fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks and chin.
Here are some symptoms of frost bite:
- A slightly painful, prickly or itching sensation
- Red, white, pale or grayish-yellow skin
- Hard or waxy-looking skin
- A cold or burning feeling
- Numbness
- Clumsiness due to joint and muscle stiffness
Blistering, in severe cases

Woman held with R3m tik at airport
Comment on this storyA suspected drug mule was arrested at Cape Town International Airport, Western Cape police said on Monday.
The woman, 46, was arrested at 8.30pm on Sunday for allegedly carrying 10.5 kg of tik, with an estimated street value of R3 million, Warrant Officer November Filander said.
She arrived on a flight from Joburg with the drugs in her luggage. Filander said the woman had a criminal record.
"During 2006 she was arrested in Johannesburg for dealing in dagga. She was sentenced in 2007 for seven years, but released after five years."
She was expected to appear in the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. – Sapa

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Tin producers in Rwanda including Rutongo Mines Ltd., the country's biggest miner of the tin ore cassiterite, plan to boost exports as the East African nation seeks to gain from record prices for the metal, officials said.
Rutongo expects to double shipments to 200 metric tons a month by the end of 2012 from 100 tons currently, Michael Biryabarema, general director of the Rwanda Geology and Mines Authority said in a phone interview on June 28. The company, a joint venture between Rwanda's government and Switzerland-based Ruddington Services AG, has increased exports from 3 tons a month three years ago, he said.
"They projected by the end of next year they would be at 200 tons," Biryabarema said. "From their output, you cannot doubt their projections," he said, without providing current production data.
Rwanda is boosting revenue from mining as the nation rebuilds its economy that was decimated by a genocide in 1994 in which at least 800,000 people died. The country, which earns most of its foreign exchange from tourism and coffee exports, doubled the size of its economy in the nine years to 2010, according to the World Bank.
Three-month delivery tin rose 0.2 percent to $25,900 a ton at 12:44 p.m. on the London Metal Exchange. The metal, which traded at a record $33,600 a ton on April 11, has gained 49 percent over the past 12 months. Tin may trade at $23,000 to $27,000 a metric ton in the second half of this year as demand from Japan remains weak after an earthquake and tsunami in March, according to PT Timah, the world's biggest exporter.
Tungsten Exports
Wolfram Mining & Processing Ltd., a Kigali-based miner of cassiterite and wolframite, also known as tungsten, plans to boost its shipments of both metals to as much as 65 tons a month before the end of this year, from 36 tons this month, said Jean- Malic Kalima, a director at the company. Wolfram is owned by private investors in Rwanda, Austria and Switzerland, Kalima said, without providing more details.
Tin is used in electrical solder and to coat steel, while tungsten is used in light bulbs.
Rwandan exports of minerals more than doubled to $50.1 million in the five months through May, from $20.7 million in the same period the year earlier, according to the Natural Resources Ministry. Volumes grew to 2,775 tons from 1,917 tons in 2009, the ministry said in a document handed to Bloomberg.
Mineral Exports
Rwanda's annual exports of cassiterite, wolframite and coltan, an ore containing tantalum which is used in mobile phones and video-game consoles, may climb to $256 million by 2015 from $96.4 million as companies boost production, Natural Resources Minister Stanislas Kamanzi said in an interview on June 23.
"It's clear that the reserves are there and the business is good," he said.
About 92 percent of Rwanda's mines have installed traceability systems as of April 1 in accordance with the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act that is intended to curb the trade of minerals that fund conflict, Kamanzi said. The industry employs 35,000 people in the country, he said.
Rwanda's government is looking to address obstacles faced by mining companies to increase investment, including the high cost of electricity, Kamanzi said. Rwanda produces 95 megawatts of power, which is enough for 14 percent of the population, according to the Infrastructure Ministry. The government is currently seeking investors for projects that may increase output to 1,000 megawatts before 2018.
"There is an urgent need for electricity," Rwandan President Paul Kagame told reporters in Kigali on June 23. "One hundred megawatts is not enough. We want more."
Rwanda borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa's biggest tin producer.

Uncovering History's Black Women Inventors
Editor's note: This has been cross-posted from Inventor's Eye, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Publication for the Independent Inventor Community
February and March are Black History Month and Women's History Month, respectively. Inventors Eye takes a look at past and present to salute the many Black women inventors who have contributed to the growth of innovation in America.
Black women throughout American history have impacted and contributed to our nation's culture of innovation. Patents offer a unique lens through which to view history. By tracing the technologies patents protect—or once protected—as well as the inventors listed on those patents, an image of the past emerges. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted patents for more than 200 years. That's a lot of history, and it contains many stories of successful black women who have changed the technological face of America. Today, black women continue to ignite the spark of genius and make key and meaningful contributions to America's inventive process.
The trove of historical information locked in patents can be a challenge to extract, as patents do not record extensive personal details about inventors such as race. Adding to the difficulty is the common practice of early inventors to use initials as a way to conceal their identity or gender. There is ongoing debate about the first black woman inventor, but modern research tools have made it less difficult to assemble the pieces of the puzzle. Though we may never be able to tell the full story of black women inventors, the findings reveal that they have consistently conceived innovative ideas and aggressively filed patent applications throughout history.
Martha Jones of Amelia County, Va., might have become the first black woman to receive a United States patent. Her application for an "Improvement to the Corn Husker, Sheller" was granted U.S. patent No. 77,494 in 1868. Jones claimed her invention could husk, shell, cut up, and separate husks from corn in one operation, representing a significant step forward in the automation of agricultural processes. Five years later in 1873, Mary Jones De Leon of Baltimore was granted U.S. patent No. 140,253 for a novel cooking apparatus. De Leon's invention consisted of the construction and arrangement of a device for heating food by dry heat and steam. The design of the apparatus shows that it was an early precursor to the steam tables now found often at food buffets.
Other documented 19th century black women inventors include Judy W. Reed and Sarah Goode. Reed, from Washington, D.C., was granted a patent in 1884 for a dough kneader and roller (U.S. patent No. 305,474) and Goode, from Chicago, was granted a patent in 1885 for a folding cabinet chair (U.S. patent No. 322,177).

I bought a very small hydrangea from a box store when I moved into my house about 4 years ago, and while it's in shade it's not in a very good location. I would like to pot it so I can move it as I please, but I discovered one year when I transplanted it that it didn't like to be moved and it didn't bloom that year. If I dig up my hydragea early enough in spring is it likely that it will still bloom when I pot it?
Also do hydrangeas do well in pots? Or am I better off just finding a permanent home for it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is likely that you have a hydrangea that blooms on old wood (the blue/pink ones). If so, blooms this year depend on how happy it was LAST year - not whether or not you move it this year. If it is not getting enough sun then it won't bloom. Or if you prune in the spring, you could be cutting off the blooms since they formed last year. Some hydrangeas do fine in pots, the smaller ones mostly. So, anyway, do you know what kind it is? Or can you describe the blooms? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 29, 11 at 12:11
Hydrangeas can grow just fine in containers, although some varieties do get quite large. But you will need to find some sort of adequate winter storage for it - plants grown in containers tend to be a couple of zones less hardy than the same plant grown in the ground. And even in the ground, macrophylla's in Ohio will require winter protection of their top growth to preserve the flower buds for summer bloom. There are a lot of extra considerations that need to be addressed when growing a typical landscape plant in a container. In your climate, I'd be inclined to find a permanent home for this plant for best results. |

Here is a photo of the hydrangea, I believe it's an Endless Summer. I am aware that blooms are on old wood, and it's very possible that in the transplant I could have damaged the wood. Maybe a better idea would be to find a permanent home then. I adore this plant and have wanted a hydrangea for years...it's a little one but gorgeous all the same! |
Very pretty. But 'Endless Summer' is meant to bloom on both old and new wood, so if you are not getting blooms all year then it may not be getting enough sun to form blooms. Or if you have deer they could be munching the tips off - one other possibility. And yes, a good home in the ground would be best of all. |
- Posted by quilt_mommy 5/6 Northeast Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Mar 29, 11 at 17:48
It may not be endless summer, I honestly cannot remember the name of it. To be quite honest I really haven't given the plant enough attention to know if it's blooming on old and new wood. I will have to look for that as the plant begins to wake up from winter. We do have deer - would they be eating the flowers as well though? They like to eat the heads off of the peonies that are planted around the corner from these, and I haven't noticed any disturbance to the hydrangeas. The only problem I've had with the plant to date is the summer following the year I planted this I decided to move it, and it didn't bloom that year. Other than that it's been realiable and relatively problem free. |
Yes, deer LOVE hydrangea and will eat the tips. |

Hey everybody.
Can any expert who has worked on several plant design software help me with a selection?
My situation is that the company I work for (Global Petrochem giant) needs a software upgrade FAST! All the plant engineering drawings iso's, layouts mechanical vessels, equipment and structures are still done in 2D!!!
I have started here as the first resident draftsman and the ropes have been given to me to steer the changes that is desperately needed! We have duplications of line numbers, no line numbers and drawings which have not been updated since I was a pre-schooler... So I'm looking for a solution to remedy this and to do things right from now on.
So, I have been looking at various software packages on a sales brochure basis only and each and everyone sounds good but I'm leaning more towards Plant 3D however a CADWorx demo was presented to us and it also looked quite good. Bentley presence within SA is almost non-existent so just on the fact that there is no support means no.
In short there are three packages which we are interested in, Intergraph Smartplant or CADWorx or Autodesk Plant design suite Ultimate...
Smartplant is a bit too expensive... Lets just leave it at that. Therefore CADWorx or Plant 3D.
Which one of those platforms will be best in an owner/operator situation where we also do our own in-house engineering work (smaller scaled projects) BUT, when we have contractors doing our large scaled projects we also want to control and administrate the "process and engineering data" from the models etc. When they use software like PDMS, Smartplant, CADWorx, AutoPlant or even Plant 3D?
Please give non-bias facts, recommendations whatever to help me steer this. I know that there must be 100's of these posts...
I think it all depends on what fits your process best. Plant 3D is young, but has a better whole project approach and MUCH better reports.
CADWorx 2013 now has a new spec/catalog editor though, so I'm sure there are bugs that would have to be worked out of its new pipe routing system.
Our company, ECAD Inc., was the number one CADWorx reseller for 13 years, and we decided it was the right time to switch to Plant 3d.
Also, I believe the reseller makes a big difference in your experience.
Thanks for the feedback!
I was an AutoCad & Inventor user a few years ago and then had to migrate to Bentley systems due to a company change and then a few years down the line I suggested Inventor and the department migrated to it and have been using it again ever since (only for pressure equipment).
Now... I'm working for a new company but on a much larger scale with regards to documentation of drawings and its downstream documentation and we use Bentley systems again (vicious circle, I know). It seems to me the trend is to revert back to Autodesk but given that as you stated P3D is still young and CADWorx might have bugs in their new and improved software... The fact that P3D is young, does it mean limited functionality or just we have not sorted out all the shortcuts yet? Which in my opinion is better than having a "double click spacebar tap" program that crashes or corrupts data at every autosave! ( I'm not saying that is the case with other solutions, it might or it might not)
The heart of the problem is that we did not have a resident drawing office for years and only recent it has come of age and due to the fact that there was no "ownership" of the work the design contractors did, a lot of inherent mistakes and documentation slips have through the years compounded to such an extent that you cannot trust a drawing or a line number on a P&ID for that matter!
Now it is my odyssey to find a solution and fix the ever so increasing headache in parallel to doing our in house design and drafting work, hence my dilemma of which software can do the best job with my limited resource in a cost effective and productive manner and yet still providing the most accurate results.
Oh before I forget, how Bi-directional is P3D with analysis software such as PVElite and Caesar II?
I meant that the workarounds are all developed yet. For example, yesterday we figured out a way to format generated iso file names to include the project number, line number, and then revision. It wasn't something that was documented or exposed in the UI, but because of the way they developed the isometric generator, it's extremely flexible.
Autodesk is still adding functionality, but IMO it is a great platform to commit to.
Allright fair enough, I have to agree that no software will ever be an ideal or the only solution and that things improve in it's natural (in a technology POV) way.
Speaking of which, how easy to use and functional is the Iso generator (Seing that it is not ISOGEN)?
One thing that may be important - CADWorx can run *without* a database. That means less support requirements. Naturally, you don't get the benefits either. And as a "large" company you likely have some SQL Server or equivalent architecture and management in place. But if you have a lot of small projects which need to spool up quickly and have limited hours not having to create those projects can make a difference.
Make sure you check out ortho/GA drawing creation in both programs too.
For isometric drawings be sure to check out the Isometrics WS project in the Labs - online isometric creation via PCF file. There's a few intellectual property issues that may be of concern, and I'd *really* like to get something other than PCF, but it's still a cool concept especially if you have geographically distributed offices.
Yes we do, SAP is our data management system, to be honest I've only worked at small to mid scale project firms and we rarely relied on "data management" systems. Alot of our project data was dummy stored on a central drive and all disciplines did their engineering and then referenced it in the master model for weekly model review.
So...I have not yet worked in an environment where like "vault" or where live models are kept on a SQL or SAP system. I would love to though because of the backup and secure facility but not much expierience in that regard...could not be too hard?
About the ortho creation.... Because CADWorx uses AutoCad as it's graphics module the drawing creation and annotation is exactly the same as AutoCad, that saying 2013 has an excellent feature such as "baseview"....
We have absolute strict IP rules so Online iso creation is a no-go...
Hi StevieWonder
Which country do u work in? and what the company name??
I have worked with PDMS and Autoplant in the past, We have only been working with 3D Plant for about 6 Mths on a smallish project as a test case, and all though we have had teething problems we finished the project ahead of time. In my opinion is that it worked well and the 3d model was easy as really like the way it worked and with a little playing around got the iso's looking great ( work to be done on them) but better than isogen!!!! and the G.A's were the saving grace really!! knocked out 5 G.A's in about 2 -3 days. over all i could teach my 5 year old to use the package it was great. Dont get me wrong we did have teething problems but now where near the Admin intensity of PDMS but perhaps on par if not slightly better than Autoplant. It intergrated with Tekla seamlessly.
Cheers wolfie
Hi Wolfie,
Thanks for the comment, I am in South Africa working for the leading Oil, Gas & Petrolium manufacturer in the country if not the Southern hemisphere.
Thats just the thing I'm looking for a package that can provide well detailied engineering design and drawings but not all that administration as the giant PDMS or SmartPlant purely due to the fact that there is no dedicated "CAD administrator".
This acquisition will be but the first step in the race...
In a worst case scenario...what was the biggest challenge?
