- Make the pesto. Pulse the basil, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor to a coarse paste, adding enough olive oil to produce a loose-textured purée. Pour into a bowl and fold in the parmesan.
- Blanch remaining garlic in boiling water for 3 mins, until slightly softened. Drain, return to the pan with 200ml/7fl oz of the chicken stock and half the butter. Simmer for about 15 mins until the garlic is soft and coated in the syrupy stock. Remove from the heat. You can do this up to 4 hrs in advance.
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the pumpkin cubes with the olive oil in a roasting tin, and roast for 10-15 mins until the flesh is just tender.
- Make the crispy shallots. Dust them in the flour and shake off excess. Heat 2cm oil in a large pan and fry until light golden brown. Drain and keep warm.
- Sweat the onion in the remaining butter in a large shallow pan until soft, about 5 mins. Tip in the rice, raise the heat and toast until translucent. Lower the heat and add the remaining stock a ladleful at a time, stirring well until the stock is completely absorbed before you add the next ladleful.
- Once the rice is al dente, fold in the 2 cheeses, garlic cloves and pumpkin and cook for 2 mins. Serve with a drizzle of pesto and the shallots on top.

Cirque du Vampires Rock at Nottingham Arena was an excellent show. I was a VR virgin for this show and loved every minute. I was taken as a birthday present from a friend, she got us to dress up and really get into the moment! My only gripe would be that due to my back injury I had to be seated, how I wanted to be in the standing area, so I could dance away to the excellent music.
Steve and the rest of the company give their all in a performance that included comedy, burlesque, ariel performers and, of course, excellent singing and top quality musicians. I've popped my VR cherry and can't wait for the opportunity to see it again.

LITTLE BIGHORN BATTLEFIELD NATIONAL MONUMENT — On a hot, nearly windless day in early August, Edwin C. Bearss is looking across the Little Bighorn River as he describes an early scene in the battle that would come to be known as Custer's Last Stand.
He is dressed in a ball cap, two T-shirts and a pair of stained khaki pants held up by an ancient leather belt. His hiking boots, by contrast, are sturdy and relatively new. He looks like a man who can't be bothered by superfluities.
A busload of tourists, who have come from around the country to follow Bearss (pronounced "Bars") on a five-day tour that takes in several of the battles leading up to the climactic fight on the Little Bighorn, are listening carefully to his monologue, some of them taking notes.
Bearss recounts details of the Battle of the Little Bighorn with a vivid immediacy, sometimes squeezing his eyes shut, as if imagining himself there on that fateful day of June 25, 1876.
He is lean and not much more than average height, but the 88-year-old historian has a gruff, authoritative voice that commands attention. His face is deeply tanned and he is holding a swagger stick that is engraved with the names of Civil War battles and capped with a brass cartridge. He often gestures with it.
At the moment he is describing how, on the day of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Cheyenne sharpshooters across the river were firing at troops under the command of Capt. George Yates. Slipping into the first person and the present tense, as he often does, Bearss puts himself in the position of Yates' men, who are armed with 45-70 rifles.
"If I hit you with a 45-70 in the meaty part of the leg, or the meaty part of the arm, I'm going to knock you down," he says, emphasizing the last three words with a triumphant relish.
And there, perhaps, is the key to what makes Bearss, a Billings-born, Montana-raised former chief historian for the National Park Service, one of the most revered battlefield guides in the United States.
His encyclopedic knowledge of dozens of battlefields, here and abroad, is probably unrivaled, but he has the additional advantage of belonging to what he has called "a kind of fraternity" of people who have come under fire in battle.
His intimate knowledge of what bullets can do to the meaty parts and other portions of the human body came on Jan. 2, 1944, fighting with the 3rd Marine Raider Battalion at "Suicide Creek" on the Japanese-held island of New Britain, in the South Pacific.
Bearss took machine gun fire in the left elbow and right shoulder, lay wounded for an hour and a half and then was hit again in the left buttocks and left heel while struggling to his feet.
He managed to get to safety and eventually was evacuated to a naval hospital in San Diego. He calls his wounding a "great benefit" because he was hospitalized for 26 months, and the hospital had a fine library.
He spent his time devouring books, most of them about the Civil War. It was not a discovery of that bloody conflict, but an intense reintroduction.
A ranch near Sarpy
His exposure to Civil War history came in his childhood, where, after his birth in Billings in 1923, he grew up on the E Bar S Ranch near Sarpy. His father, a World War I Marine, used to read accounts of military campaigns to Bearss and his younger brother. His infatuation with the Civil War began when he read a stirring biography of Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart.
Bearss went so far as to name his family's livestock after Civil War generals and battles. His favorite milk cow was named Antietam, for the pivotal 1862 battle in Maryland.
"To show I wasn't wedded to one side or the other," he says, "I named her first calf Sharpsburg," the Confederate name for the battle.
Though he was raised mostly on the ranch, Bearss' family moved to Billings for a little more than a year and he attended McKinley School as a sixth-grader. After graduating from Hardin High School in 1941, he hitchhiked out East and toured three important Civil War battlefields: Antietam, Manassas and Gettysburg.
It was obvious that war was imminent, Bearss said, and military service was a given in his family, so he wanted to have an adventure before the war came.
"It was the ideal age for hitchhiking," he said. "At that time it was rather easy if you were young and looked innocent."
Bearss enlisted in the Marine Corps on April 28, 1942, and shipped out for the war in the Pacific in July. Before being wounded in New Britain, Bearss took part in the closing days of the battle for Guadalcanal and saw action in the Russell Islands.
He was discharged in March 1946, when his long hospital stay finally ended, and he enrolled at Georgetown University. He decided against the University of Montana in Missoula only because there was a shortage of housing there and men studying under the GI Bill had to live in barracks. He'd had enough of that.
Bearss earned a bachelor of arts in foreign service in 1949 and went to work for the Navy Hydrographic Office in Maryland. He continued to visit Civil War battlefields in his spare time, and after three years with the Navy office he went back to school, earning a master's in history from Indiana University in 1955.
The visit to Shiloh
He might have become a professor and academic historian, but a visit to Shiloh, a Civil War battlefield in Tennessee, changed his life. This was in 1954, when he was still writing his master's thesis on Confederate Gen. Patrick Cleburne. He had previously studied the battle of Shiloh only in books, and now, walking the terrain with park historian Charles "Pete" Shedd, he had a realization.
Talking with Shedd and looking at the battlefield from a soldier's perspective, Bearss knew that some of his own notions about the battle and Cleburne's part in it had to be wrong. He also realized that armchair history was not to be his calling.
"I thought I'd better get back to walking these battlefields," he said.
He has been walking them ever since. He went to work for the Park Service in 1955, when he was hired as an historian at Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi.
One of the biggest coups of his career came at Vicksburg, where he and a couple of friends succeeded in locating and recovering the Cairo, a Union gunboat stuck in the muddy bottom of the Yazoo River.
It was also in Vicksburg that he met his wife, Margie, a schoolteacher and Civil War buff herself. She was a Mississippian who overlooked his origins, though no one else in that region would let him forget them.
"One thing you learn in the South is that whether you're from Montana or California or Vermont or Connecticut, you're a Yankee," he said. "They called me a Yankee historian."
More than 300 battlefields
In 1958 he was promoted to Southeastern regional historian for the Park Service. He continued to live in Vicksburg, but he was usually on the road, visiting more and more battlefields in the United States and overseas.
Of the 383 Civil War battlefields — "Now, I'm throwing out clashes between partisans," he says — he's visited all but 10 or so. He's been to every major battlefield of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, to most of the World War II battlefields in Europe, including every one in Sicily and Italy, and to many of the scenes of important battles in the South Pacific.
Recognizing what a resource he was, the Park Service often called on him when it was developing new parks, or expanding existing ones. He helped create parks at Pea Ridge and Wilson's Creek, both Civil War battlefields, and he worked on expansions at numerous sites around the country, including Bighorn Canyon in Montana and Wyoming.
Bearss was named chief historian of the National Park Service in 1981. He held that position until 1994, then spent one year as special assistant to the director before retiring in 1995. He lives in Arlington County, Va.
Retirement only gave him more time to do what he really loved, which was leading tours of battlefields. He had stopped doing it as part of his official duties way back in Vicksburg, but he never stopped leading tours on weekends and during his time off.
He concentrated on the Civil War, often taking ROTC classes and active-duty military officers on tours, and in retirement he expanded into tours of European and Pacific battlefields. He has led many tours for the Chicago Civil War Roundtable and has worked on behalf of various travel companies. His recent visit to the Little Bighorn was under the auspices of Smithsonian Journeys.
Bearss said he started learning about the Battle of the Little Bighorn as a defensive measure. Park Service colleagues, knowing he was from Montana, would ask him about the battle, but in his early days with the NPS he knew almost nothing about it.
He had been to the battlefield just twice as a young man, once on a Hardin High field trip and another time when he wanted to "see how far I could ride a bicycle in one day." Back then, he said, there was no interpretation at the battlefield.
"You thought of it as the place where the cemetery was," he said.
Goaded by his Park Service colleagues, he learned all he could about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and by the early 1990s he was leading tours there, too.
No matter what battlefield Bearss was on, he became increasingly renowned for his dramatic delivery, his easy command of seemingly inexhaustible facts, his stamina in the field and his visceral understanding of the importance of terrain. The terrain and the ground cover, he likes to say, determine whether enlisted men live or die, and whether their commanders win or lose the battle.
He was prominently featured in Ken Burns' monumental "Civil War" series on PBS, and he has appeared in other Civil War programs on the A&E Network and the History Channel. He has also written or edited more than 20 books, mostly on the Civil War. If the prestigious awards he has won were campaign ribbons, he would have a chestful of them.
But leading tours is still what he lives to do. Even now, at 88, he figures he is working 225 days a year, either delivering addresses or giving tours.
Most of the people on the Little Bighorn tour had been on other tours with Bearss, and among them there is a kind of reverential awe for the crusty old historian.
Brent Weisman, an anthropology professor at the University of South Florida, had been on two Civil War tours with Bearss. For this, his first visit to the Little Bighorn Battlefield, he prepped for six or seven months, reading books and getting in good physical condition. He knew that, even at 88, Bearss would be hard to keep up with.
"I knew Ed walks at a good clip," Weisman says. "And if you want to learn anything, you have to keep up."
"He's a true American treasure, a national treasure," Weisman continues. "I'm encouraging everyone I know to sign up for one of his tours because he's not going to be around forever."
Dr. Michael Hill, a medical-center director from Laurel, Md., has known Bearss for almost 25 years, dating back to when Hill's Civil War re-enactment group, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, used to train on Park Service property in Washington, D.C.
Hill later appeared in the Civil War movie "Glory," which recounted the exploits of the 54th Massachusetts, the all-black regiment that was led by a white officer from Boston. Hill says he loves to visit battle sites with Bearss because he is so good at setting the context for a battle or an incident in a battle.
Cult-like fans
Bears showed that at the Little Bighorn, when one of the people on the tour asked him whether the Indian warriors acted under orders from superiors or mainly fought as individuals. Bearss said the Indians did fight as resourceful individuals, contrasting them with the highly disciplined Zulu warriors who fought the British in South Africa just three years after Custer's Last Stand.
This was Hill's first visit to Montana, but he has been on at least two dozen Civil War tours with Bearss. Hill laughs at his own devotion and that of other frequent fliers, saying, "I don't want to say 'cult' or anything, but ... ."
Frank Wilson of Washington, D.C., was on his sixth Little Bighorn tour with Bearss. It might sound monotonous, Wilson says, but there is always new research on the battle and Bearss always has something new to say.
And Bearss knows so much about the battle — and about Civil War battles that Wilson has visited in his company — that he is constantly changing the details of the narrative to fit his own fancy or to suit the interests of those on the tour.
"He has an encyclopedic mind," Wilson says. "It's amazing the facts he can bring to bear."
But more than anything, Wilson says, Bearss knows how to make history come alive.
"It isn't about strategy or tactics or the numbers killed," he says. "It's about the people."
At the Little Bighorn Battlefield, Bearss is patient, listening to all questions and giving thoughtful answers, sometimes turning to fellow historian Jerome Greene, an expert on the battle who has been Bearss' friend for 25 years, for confirmation or additional information.
But he is also a good leader, and he knows when his troops need to rest and when to be kept on the march. At a stop on top of Calhoun Hill, sometimes described as the place where Custer's men staged their "first stand," Bearss ponders a complicated query about the battle.
"That's a good question to discuss on the way back to Billings," he says, "because every minute we take now we lose from our last three stops."
Saying which, he raises his swagger stick and leads the charge back to the bus.

Lionel Messi will captain Argentina for the first time in Tuesday's World Cup encounter with Greece, sources close to the team said.
Coach Diego Maradona has decided to give the skipper's armband to the Barcelona striker two days before his 23rd birthday, Argentina's La Nacion daily reported on Monday, quoting the sources.
Messi takes over from midfielder Javier Mascherano, who is being rested by Maradona. The decision comes as a surprise to Argentinian football commentators, who had expected the captaincy to go to the veteran Juan Sebastian Veron.
Maradona is set to make several changes to his side for the match in Polokwane.

Peter Facinelli: "Twilight Dad"
Celebuzz sat down for an interview with Peter Facinelli at his recent Affliction autograph signing and Twitter drawing for his infamous bikini bet in Los Angeles.
Peter, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight series and the onscreen dad to Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, revealed that he also feels fatherly to the cast of the vampire series in real life!
He explained, "Especially on the first movie. You know I definitely felt fatherly towards them and that kind of grew as I got to know them. In the first movie they used to call me 'Dad,' and that's kinda nice. I've got about a decade on them and so I can't actually physically be their dad, but there's an aspect there where they look at me as a fatherly figure."
And this is one father who doesn't play favorites with his kiddos. When asked who he's closest to in the cast, Peter just couldn't give us an answer.
"I have three daughters and that's like saying who's your favorite kid. I really respect and like each and every one of them," he replied. "We really did bond like a family and I talk to all of them. I couldn't really pick out who is closer. To me they're all my friends and my family."
Having all the Twilight cast as your friends and family? What a lucky dude!

123rd Minute
by Yagr_Zero on Comments
I was going to write about what I did this past weekend, but upon waking up this morning and turning on the NBC online streaming coverage of the Olympics, I found I really couldn't. Not when I just watched a truly magnificent women's soccer match between the US and Canada. What a match that was. A back and forth battle. Canada's Christine Sinclair put O'Canada up by one heading into the half before Megan Rapinoe tied it up early in the second. From there, in about a 15 minutes stretch the two teams put up a flurry of offense that included four goals, two more for Sinclair making her only the second player ever to score a hat trick against the United States. The end of said flurry came with a pair of controversial calls where the referee first called a delay of game on the Canadian goalkeeper, awarding the US a free kick at the top of the penalty box. The kick wasn't well hit, yet it careened off a Canadian hand, earning the US a penalty. When it comes to penalties and Abby Wambach, it's almost automatic as it was here tying the game at three a piece. The game headed into extra time where there would be no golden goal, or in other words the game keeps going if someone scores. The first period was well played by both sides as the game took a much more physical tone with numerous players needing extra time to get up. Heading into the second extra period it was clear that the US had just a little bit more juice left in the tank than the Canadians, some of whom were visibly having a hard time trying to keep up. Despite this, the US just couldn't get the ball into the back of the net as the Canadians became more and more desperate to hold on to the tie having almost no energy to mount a considerable offensive push. Finally, in the 123rd minute, Alex Morgan headed in the fourth goal for the United States giving them the lead for the first time the entire night. The game ended thirty seconds later as the US and Canada hobbled off the field. I'm pretty sure my short summary doesn't do the match justice as this was a fantastic match to watch. Each team put their entire strength behind the game and it showed. The US will face off against Japan a rematch of last year's World Cup finals. Japan won that meeting in penalty kicks. Canada meanwhile will battle France for the bronze.

WASHINGTON — Democrats on Sunday sought to highlight what they see as the radical and unpopular elements of newly minted vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan's budget plans, while Republicans praised Ryan as a visionary who will tell the hard truths Americans want to hear.
The Ryan pick "clarifies the choice for the American people … in a way that is going to be helpful," Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
And he added on ABC's "This Week": "It's a pick that is meant to thrill the most strident voices in the Republican party, but it's one that should trouble everybody else — the middle class, seniors, students — because of Ryan's record. He is a right-wing ideologue. … He's the guy who's the architect of a plan to end Medicare as we know it and turn it into a voucher program and shift thousands of dollars of costs onto senior citizens."
Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, backs a budget plan that would cut taxes, significantly curb federal spending and change Medicare by introducing a voluntary voucher program that would give future seniors a fixed amount of money to buy private health insurance. GOP candidate Mitt Romney has praised Ryan's plan in general without backing each specific.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who survived a recall election last fall after enacting significant cuts and doing battle with public employee unions, called the Ryan pick "a game-changer." He noted that Ryan has regularly won more than 60 percent of the vote in his Wisconsin district — a seat once held by liberal Democrat Les Aspin — despite advocating a major fiscal restructuring.
"Why?" Walker asked on "Meet the Press." "Because people want the truth. … I think voters want leadership."
Romney backers said his choice of Ryan suggested his willingness to be bold and compete in a battle of ideologies.
"The message is this is a big election. It's about big issues. It's about big ideas," said Romney adviser Ed Gillespie on CNN's "State of the Union." "We're not going to be distracted by the little things."
Democrats celebrated, because they think Ryan's ideas are bad and they know that polls show some of them are unpopular.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey in June 2011 found that 58 percent of Americans opposed the idea of turning Medicare into a voucher program, with 35 percent supporting. Three-quarters of the elderly disapproved, as did 54 percent of conservatives.
"Paul Ryan has embraced an extremist proposal that … cuts so much it would risk slowing and even stalling our recovery," said Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman.
Reince Priebus of Wisconsin, the Republican National Committee chairman, countered that Republicans are trying to figure out how to save Medicare and Social Security and that on entitlements, "The president does a lot of talking … but he does nothing."
Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor who was passed over by Romney in favor of Ryan, said on ABC that "Congressman Ryan and Gov. Romney have put together a plan that actually tackles the problem in specific (it) preserves Medicare … for people who are already on the program but begins to change it in needed and realistic ways for the next-generation. Unlike the president, they're actually willing to lead, actually willing to put meat on the bones and put specific proposals on the table."
Responded Axelrod, "There's no doubt that we got to do more, but the question is are you going to do it in a way that preserves the program and the access to care that seniors need, or are you going to turn it into a voucher program with ever decreasing value of the vouchers relative to health care costs and throw seniors onto the tender mercies of the private insurance market. The question is: Do you really believe in Medicare?"

text: I'm probably just being pig-headed about this. I have googled it, of course, and I cannot find any evidence that people are more likely to have postural hypotension (the feeling of being lightheaded/dizzy when standing up caused by low blood pressure) after losing weight. But I am still convinced it's true, I guess because I have gotten it a lot more since losing a significant amount of weight. But maybe its just a coincidence. It kinda makes sense to me, though, that it would happen that way.

Not something I'll bake again. It's reminds me of a very dry granola bar.
So easy for a quick treat when you haven't many ingredients. Did take a lot longer in the oven though! I added raisins to mine. Tried it with golden syrup another time: Amazing!!!
This was a waste of my time, energy and money. I think the recipe was not complete.

Today we'll take the time to see how the GTS 250 performs against the HD 4850 and HD 4870 from ATI, while also seeing just how far it sits behind its big brother, the GTX 260.
3DMark Vantage

Making their return to SoCal, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick jetted into LAX International Airport on Monday evening (February 24).
The E! reality television stars both looked like they were dressed for New York City's wintry weather given the coordinated fur-trimmed jackets (Scott wore an Ermanno Scervino coat also worn by Kanye West).
Having fun while working hard, Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick filmed a segment for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" at Calabasas Luxury Motorcars on Thursday (February 20).
Cool in their casual attire, Scott wore a gray Henley with skinnies, while Khloe sported a black fedora, blue skinny jeans and leather designer heels.
Checking out one of the hottest family flicks in theaters, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick took Mason to see "The Lego Movie" in Hollywood on Saturday (February 8).
Getting in some quality time with his little guy Mason Disick, Scott Disick ran a few errands in Beverly Hills on Friday (January 31).
The father-of-two sported a green shirt and light washed jeans as he and his adorable son dropped by Barneys New York clothing store.
Making the most of their Sunday afternoon, Kourtney Kardashian and her longtime boyfriend Scott Disick took their kiddos out for a delicious meal in Calabasas, California.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" stars looked relaxed, having just returned from a Mexican vacation, as they strolled up to Sugarfish sushi restaurant while shutterbugs looked on.
It's been a rough couple of months for Scott Disick, as his father Jeffrey Disick passed away on January 2nd.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star also recently lost his mother Bonnie Disick, who died on October 28th.
Ever one to spend excessive amounts of money on his family, Scott Disick received a fantastic surprise under the Christmas tree this year.
The 30-year-old reality man received more than a half dozen golden and diamond bracelets from his close pal Avi the jeweler, equaling nearly 110 carats worth of diamonds and $100,000!
She's always up for an adventure, but things got a little dicey when Kim Kardashian tried some ski showboating on Wednesday (January 1).
The "Disaster Movie" actress bragged that hitting the slopes was "just like riding a bike," and attempted to ski between her sister Kourtney Kardashian's legs as the video camera rolled.

Will Mexico City Be Home To The World's First 'Earthscraper'
We have all heard of skyscrapers - those towering structures that dominate city landscapes all over the world - But an Earthscraper? That's got to be a first. The incredible concept which entails building a 65-story structure underground, is the brainchild of Mexican firm BNKR Arquitectura, as an attempt to get around Mexico City's eight-floor building limit.
The design envisions a pyramid-shaped glass structure that will completely be built under the surface of the earth - So much so, that the city square it is situated on, will remain as is. The 65 floors will not only house offices and residences, but also, a museum and cultural center. The Earthscraper will receive natural light from a giant gap in the middle of the building, as well as, a glass rooftop, which the architects believe will double up as a spectacular venue for exhibitions and concerts.
And, while the residents, office workers and visitors will not have an ocean view, they will have a historical one - Literally! That's because the modern day Mexico City is built upon layers of ancient civilizations, dating all the way back to the 13th century, when the Aztec tribe inhabited the area. They began by building small pyramids around the lake - As their influence and power grew, so did their structures, which were built directly above the smaller ones.
When the Spaniards arrived in 1521, they put their mark by building churches above the pyramids adding yet another layer of history. Modern day dwellers have now added an additional layer to this historical sandwich. Because the Earthscraper will dig 300 meters or about 1,000 feet below the ground, the inhabitants will be be privy to some really cool ancient history, right from the comfort of their own homes and offices.
If all this sounds too good to be true, it is - At least for now, since this is just a concept the architects have come up with. But if it ever gets built, it sure will rank as one of the coolest buildings in the world - Wonder what the postal address would read. . . . . . hmmm!

My local home improvement store carries a cypress variety called Irish Eyes, the botanical name is cupressocyparis leylandii. The product tag on this particular plant states that it grows to a maximum height of 25 feet tall. Is this a different variety from the standard Leyland cypress? I know the Leyland gets to be anywhere from 50-60 feet tall. I've done numerous seaches on the Irish Eyes name and cypress, but can't seem to find any info on it. I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about this particular cultivar as I'm not wanting the larger variety of cypress. Thanks for any help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The link below is the only info I could find, and it is highly suspect - any conifer that is "a very fast grower" isn't going to stop suddenly at the height they claim. BTW, Leyland Cypress can get to 35 metres tall . . . Resin |
Here is a link that might be useful: meansnursery.com - 'Irish Eyes'
Those 'Irish Eyes' will be smilin' if you plant them expecting a mere 25 ft. tree. |
- Posted by michaelcatt (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 07 at 18:19
Hi, I have been trying to find these trees, they had them at our local big box store, but they were only about a foot tall, where did you find these? Have you found any other info on them. |
You could try emailing Cox Arboretum in Georgia. They specialize in plantings of leylandii. Dax |
Here is a funny and informative web page on these things. Based on what I read there, I wouldn't plant one, though they look really tempting at the Home Depot. http://home.clara.net/tmac/urgring/faqleyld.htm |

Remember that Walden's Title IV Code is 025042.
Broaden your understanding of the international business climate and the challenges of working with different cultures. Explore political, financial, competitive, regulatory, operational, and social issues faced by global managers. Discover the changing nature of international business and leadership and evaluate the concepts of sustainable business strategies, international trade, foreign direct investment, and regional economic integration.
Estimated time to completion, may be less than 2 years, depending on individual progress and credits transferred, if applicable. For a personalized estimate of your time to completion, call your enrollment advisor at 1-866-492-5336.
The program's courses are delivered online in a prescribed sequence.
Students in this course explore contemporary management concepts and practices to gain a foundation for building the skills and knowledge necessary to be an effective and ethical manager in a global and interconnected environment. Students examine and contrast management and leadership theories and practice. They also explore keys to success in the program, including setting goals; establishing priorities; managing time; communicating effectively and working in online settings; and giving, receiving, and using constructive feedback and reflection. Students are also provided with a brief introduction to Walden University, graduate studies at Walden and related processes and policies, the M.S. in Management program, and the essentials of scholarly writing.
Managers encounter a variety of challenges on a daily basis, which require the ability to employ existing tools and strategies to strategically communicate with individuals and the organization at large and to understand the different types of attitudes and values of others. Individuals with these skills are most successful when their efforts are coupled with the ability to think critically and analytically. Students are provided with the opportunity to improve their overall critical-thinking and reasoning skills within a managerial context. Using relevant management articles, case studies, and current topics analyses, students sharpen their diagnostic-reading skills and learn to construct effective, ethical, evidence-based arguments, which are fundamental capabilities of effective managers. They also examine common fallacies in thinking and reasoning as well as the rhetorical use of language to formulate convincing and effective arguments.
Effective business practice requires the ability to handle important negotiations, from internal disputes to international mergers, as well as the knowledge of methods and tools to prevent, manage, and break inherent conflict. Students in this course explore the challenges of managing people in times of perceived conflict and dispute, and they work toward developing skills to identify different types of conflict situations. They engage in hands-on, practical exercises in general contingency thinking and action approaches, negotiation and bargaining strategies, and communication styles designed to help them resolve conflicts and move toward win-win outcomes.
Business managers possess an important role in developing the people for whom they are responsible and in creating and sustaining effective teams in complex and diverse organizational settings. Students in this course explore this role while focusing on developing skills and knowledge required to obtain the best performance from individuals in order to achieve goals and create positive environments. They also consider and discuss the ethical and legal implications of managing individuals and teams. Students examine the challenges of managing a diverse workforce, including issues that arise from cross-cultural differences and virtual work settings. Through this course, students learn the importance of communication as a tool to manage internal and external relationships and practice their communication skills to prepare for an effective role in management.
Today's business environment is constantly evolving to accommodate changes in economy, leadership, new regulations, and internal reduction and growth. Organizations require leaders who know how to work through barriers to effect positive and efficient organizational change. Students in this course learn about situations that constitute and require such change. They engage in a variety of assignments through which they explore effective strategies for initiating change and anchoring change into corporate culture to achieve organizational goals as well as for managing unplanned or unwelcome change. Students explore a variety of approaches and methods to transition individuals and organizations within evolving environments. They distinguish between reactive responses and proactive responses to change and examine the implications of culture, inertia, and uncertainty. Additionally, students explore the importance of understanding motivation and effective communication in mitigating negative reactions to change and facilitating the change process itself.
Leaders in business must often take creative approaches to solve problems. Systems thinking is a popular method of problem solving because it allows leaders to see how problems interrelate and influence one another, which often leads to optimal, sustainable solutions. Students in this course can expand their perception of problem solving and stimulate positive social change on important global issues by exploring systems thinking as a process whereby problems are viewed as individual components within a larger system. The course provides a framework for analyzing relationships within a system and for avoiding the risks associated with viewing problems in isolation. Students use systems thinking tools to model single-, double-, and multiple-loop feedback systems, at the micro and macro levels of analysis. In addition, students learn about scenario building and examine how the practice of systems thinking provides a foundation for creating sustainable outcomes for organizations and society.
There are multiple approaches to practical managerial problem solving that are rooted in the systematic collection, analysis, and display of relevant data and information. In this course, students examine the importance of data, beginning with the process of transforming information into data, and then focusing on the best methods for presenting data. Students evaluate common misinterpretations or errors in working with data and determine how to detect data presented in a deceptive manner. Students explore the basic tools used by quality, Six Sigma, and lean-method practitioners. They learn how they can use these analytical-thinking practices to improve their general managerial decision-making skills. They also practice their communication skills through small group discussions on a variety of topics, such as the relationship between data and information, effective problem-solving attitudes and capabilities, production processes, data deception, and survey sampling.
Managing business processes often involves careful planning and forecasting, taking into account many factors, such as expenses, investments, and often times, unforeseen financial obligations. Students in this course explore the role of budgeting and resource allocation along with related processes within the organizational context. They examine processes related to managing budgets and strategies to read and communicate effectively the often complex financial information related to unit and organizational performance. Students also explore and discuss the implications of resource availability as well as methods to plan for and prioritize the use of resources, while considering ethical issues related to sustainability and resource scarcity.
In this course, students focus on the challenges and opportunities for managers to create value and to increase organizational performance. Building on concepts, such as skill-based strategy and human capital development, the theory of constraints, and value innovation, students explore and exercise various strategic-thinking perspectives and tools designed to improve and sustain organization-wide performance. Students also evaluate the different stages through which organizations transition to failure and examine methods for recognizing and halting negative trends.
Students in this course are provided with the opportunity to synthesize management content, theory, and practice to create their personal visions and goals. Students assess existing research and methods, reflect on their current approach to management, and purposefully plan for a future as a management professional who affects positive change. Students produce individual treatises that include essays on their values, beliefs, strengths, and weaknesses, which serve as a foundation for continued professional growth and development; thus, students become better equipped to meet the management challenges of an uncertain tomorrow.
This course is an introduction for students to learn how institutions, organizations, and culture shape uniqueness in regional market and business practices. Students are exposed to the functioning of global organizations that shape the global business climate. Students explore drivers for internationalization, barriers and pitfalls, and best practices in international business.
In this course, international business topics are explored in depth and in context through real-world case studies. Students analyze the success and failure of international business ventures across a wide range of industries, developing their analytical skills in the process.
Over the last few decades, a fundamental shift in the world economy has been underway. No longer are national economic interests and business operations largely confined within well-¬defined geographic borders. Phenomena such as the explosion of the Internet, outsourcing, and the reduction in barriers to cross-¬-border trade have all contributed to the creation of a truly global economy. This course focuses on the global environment of business and explores how the international sociocultural, political, legal, economic, physical, and historical environments affect business practices and policies. This course provides students with the skills and methodologies required for market analysis and business strategizing on a global scale. In particular, students identify the internal and external forces affecting an organization's ability to compete both domestically and globally.

A report from Red Hat Summit
Seeing Red
We sum up this year's Red Hat Summit, which was held in June in Boston, Massachusetts.
Some conferences feel like going home because you see lots of people you know but have not seen for a long time. The Red Hat Summit [1], held in Boston, Massachusetts, in June felt like this because a lot of the people I worked with at Digital Equipment Corporation's Unix group now work for Red Hat Software, including Brian Stevens, Red Hat's Chief Technology Officer.
Jim Whitehurst, President and CEO of Red Hat, kicked off the event and talked about a patent settlement that he said is "truly consistent with GPL, protecting all upstream and downstream developers." In addition, he spoke about a Red Hat initiative to create "Liberation fonts," a set of free and open fonts to allow for truly open documents, that would render the same as their non-free counterparts because the fonts could be digitally equivalent. He also touched on the economics of free software, pointing out that if we could "capture" the software written in-house and make it available to other programmers, we could obtain the advantages of software re-use.
John Halamka, CIO of Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center talked about open record formats and standards so that medical communities can share patients' records in a safe and secure manner. He also advocated e-prescribing, although only 13 percent of Massachusetts prescriptions are sent electronically. As a diabetic who travels a lot, I can vouch for the need for prescriptions that can be transferred easily between pharmacies.
Jim Stallings from IBM spoke next and stressed that the global enterprise is changing to meet new demands – billions of systems are now talking to each other. He estimated that by 2010, medical images will make up 30 percent of the world's storage, and 74 percent of the world's mobile subscribers will live in emerging economies. To meet this challenge, Jim estimated that 70 percent of the world's global 1,000 Organizations must revamp their computer centers because of energy costs in the next five years. According to Jim, companies can typically save 40 percent of their energy costs, and the return on investment is typically less than two years.
Finally, Joel Cohen, the co-creator of The Simpsons, talked about collaboration, originality, and how even bad ideas could spark good ones.
Getting Technical
The event was not all keynotes, and many of Red Hat's engineering staff were on hand to give technical talks. Rik van Riel, creator of the "Kernel Newbies" site [2], discussed why the hardware is getting faster but seems to be getting slower. According to Rik, the tasks that we ask the CPUs to do are getting larger faster than the hardware is getting faster. With these issues are trade-offs around power management for saving electricity and cooling and issues around single-thread versus multi-thread performance. A follow-on conversation disclosed that a lot of programmers today are not learning the techniques necessary in multi-thread programming to keep up with the software needs on multi-core systems.
Another talk I liked was on the oVirt project [3], cross-platform virtualization management software utilizing open interfaces to manage any number of nodes. oVirt was designed as a framework with a set of APIs to manage various hypervisors with an integrated policy, security, and audit framework.
My only criticism of the event was the high price to attend. Granted, it was worth the money, but a lot of people just don't have it to spend right now. For these people, the free FudCon was held in the same building on Thursday and Friday, and moved to a university on Saturday. At FudCon, members of the Fedora and Red Hat communities could come together to work on projects, ask questions, and otherwise find answers. Also, they got a chance to talk to Jim Whitehurst, who gave much the same talk as he did in his keynote, in addition to joking with the participants and telling them his experiences with downloading and installing Fedora.
In his talks, Jim noted several times that Red Hat could not possibly survive without the efforts of the Fedora and FOSS communities, which was good for the FudCon attendees to hear. Furthermore, Jim did not run out of the meeting after giving his talk, as I have seen other CEOs do; instead, he stayed and talked with the participants, which bodes well for Red Hat's future.
Overall, the Red Hat Summit was a great event.

Students from organisations such as the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and the Students' Federation of India (SFI) staged a protest here on Friday demanding the release of TV reporter Naveen Soorinje in connection with the Mangalore homestay attack case.
They also demanded the resignation of Home Minister R. Ashok. Writer and actor G.K. Govinda Rao told presspersons that the journalist had only done his duty recording the attack and had tipped off the police. "This matter needs to be probed. You cannot charge a man who has only done his job," he added.
Intensifying protests
SFI district vice-president Yuvaraj M.P. said the protests would intensify if Mr. Soorinje was not released immediately. All-India Democratic Women's Association activist Vimala K.S. demanded that all cases against Mr. Soorinje be withdrawn.
Condemning the arrest in a press note, she said the government was safeguarding the interests of the homestay attackers and arrested the one who brought the incident into limelight.
"There is proof that he made calls to the police and the attack was planned and was done to appease communal forces," she said.

Party Time! Excellent. All the racers deserve a pyramid of cocktails for surviving the most stressful party to ever take place in a Malaysian penthouse. Well, except Luke. Oh, what's that? Luke just broke everyone else's glasses? Okay then. NO DRINKS. The cruelest fate.
The Leg 4 party kicks off as one member from the eight remaining teams must jump on a bamboo trampoline -- manned by a dozen or so also-bouncing, well-costumed Murut people of the Borneo region -- and reach for a flag adjusted to their heights in the Leaps and Bounds RoadBlock.
Most racers achieve this with minimal/comical trouble, but a lack of "Cord"-ination keeps Cowboy Cord from succeeding until his whopping 47th try. It's fine, though -- they're still so far ahead it doesn't matter. Big Easy defies everyone's expectations by not breaking the bamboo trampoline. It'd have been funny if he had and they'd try to mend it using some of the thousands of Harlem Globetrotters sweatbands these guys seem to have lying around (How adorable was that beaming kid who received one?!), but of course that would have been unfair. The point of a bamboo trampoline seems to be that it in no way resembles an actual trampoline. Obviously!
The bamboo non-trampoline absolutely destroys poor Jessica's feet, while Rachel encounters the opposite problem; she keeps slipping on the bamboo because of her pantyhose. "Ladies at home, if you're wearing pantyhose, don't try to do jumps on trampolines!" Rachel warns the TV-viewing audience, most of whom gape back at her and say "Woman, why in HELL are you wearing pantyhose?" It's beastly hot outside, plus, if no one is forcing you to wear pantyhose then why would you ever do that? But I guess it's so her legs won't look pasty on camera. So if it's a question of not lookin' good vs. discomfort/infections, then Rachel's gotta go infections.
A particularly zealous hugger seems determined to never let Caroline go, but eventually all the teams grab their flags and make it over to the airport, where they'll fly from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. We've got three flights: Flight 1 (Jet and Cord, Leo and Jamal, Dave and Connor) lands an hour and a half ahead of the others at 9:42 p.m., but Flight 3 (Caroline and Jennifer, Brendon and Rachel, Jessica and John) ends up barely edging out Flight 2 (Margie and Luke, Flight Time and Big Easy) due to a delay. Now that's what I call The Amazing Race! Flight delays! They'll getcha. It's nice to have some chaos up in here for a change. [Cue thumping house music…..]
NEXT: Juicin' up wholesome-style with Dave and Connor

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Seriously? Dilithium is being nerfed everywhere. It's already a pain in the arse to get. I rarely even get close to being able convert 8k a day now. So far with this season you're nerfing:
STF- amount received is halved
Removed from B'tran
Made the Foundry mission now take forever
Added dilithium costs to DOFF recruitment
When I would actually have more than a hour to play, I would run B'tran (1440), Defera (~2400) missions, the Foundry mission (1440) and Infected (1100). Combined with a little pulled in on DOFF missions and I'd get about 6-7k Dilithium. And that would take around 90min. And then my game time for the day is gone. No time to help the fleet earn Fleet Marks. Or anything else I might want to do.
Seriously, why are you nerfing Dilithium grinding for all of us who don't have hours and hours to play?
