I read a blog called The Love List regularly – do you know it? If not, it's highly visual, thoughtfully written and just fun to read. Check it out here.
Jess, the author, posted about "southern style" and the lack of substantial coverage it gets from mainstream print and digital media. I know some amazing southern designers – they're sharp, savvy in business and supremely talented, so this really hit home. Why are designers and retail store owners dismissed and as frivolous while chefs are celebrated to epic proportions? Jess posed this question so well – read on…
"I'm a teeny bit miffed with the level of street cred the "Southern style" space gets in publishing, both in print and digitally. So I want to publish a little mission statement about The Love List, what it's about, and why I think using it to lend my little voice to a much larger conversation is important.
Just to draw a little comparison for y'all here, I expect there was a time where recipes only appeared in magazines for women who cooked dinner for their husbands every night by 6:00 P.M. Boy, have times a-changed. Now, chefs are the proverbial toast of the town – revered and respected – and the food writers covering them sometimes take their 800-word meals with a side of self-flagellation. Recipes? Now served with a bio, an elegant photo, and a twee artist's rendering. Don't get me wrong, I'm just flatly observing, not hemming and hawing. I know Southern food is as vital to the fabric of this place as oxygen, and I heartily revel in Atlanta's food culture on the regular. The mission these folks are carrying out is important on nearly every significant social level there is, so I intend no disrespect. My point is that it is space that gets every last lick of legitimate coverage you could dream up, and I think the scales are tipping.
So why don't the arbiters of Southern style (especially those operating outside menswear) often get the same respect – or pages? The idea that we're a bunch of silly girls covering dresses and lipstick is about as antiquated and disparaging as saying Southern food writers only talk about grits and bourbon."
I set out to get some perspective from a few clients and friends respected in the fashion community. Here's what I dug up…
From Lauren Lail, designer of Library by Lauren Lail, "While fashion may seems frivolous – it is important to everyone is some small way. There is a story every to facet…there's the designer, the store that carries the brand, the buyer that is choosing the collection, the facility where the garments are made – it goes on and on. There is so much love and hard work behind every process and each person's role. Plus, there's a lot more edge and flair in the South than there's ever been – let's celebrate that!"
And we got some insight from jewelry designer and vintage collector Deidre Zahl of Candy Shop Vintage. Here's her take, "It's funny because I have perspective about this as both a born and bred New Yorker and now someone living and and designing from the South. Unfortunately it can be very hard to legitimize yourself as a designer when you are not operating out of New York City. Both because I think the way New York operates there's an instinctive "turning one's nose up" at anything not born out of there – like the caliber could never compare, etc. Obviously you can find great success elsewhere but it seems the pulse of fashion publications still primarily comes from New York and major European cities."
Troubadour designer Lindsey Carter shared some thoughts as well…"I think people are unsure of Southern fashion because it is not coming from New York. Since forever, "fashion" has been viewed as something that can't possibly be coming from anywhere else….I think that attitude is changing but it is still prevalent. Whereas there is a lot of heritage in Southern food – grits, bourbon, okra – that has been trending for quite some time now. I think it is going to take longer for people to embrace and feel secure of new fashion coming out of the South that they realize is not seersucker, gingham, pearls and Lilly dresses…but I do think it is happening!! It IS changing…Southern Living is doing it, and I think that with Haskell at Garden & Gun, we will start to see more of it there too. The more and more people see it, the more they become comfortable with it."
How about shifting from the female to the male perspective. We tapped two Charleston-based accessories designers to weigh in – K. Cooper Ray of Social Primer and George Ackerman of 79 Ashley for their thoughts. Starting with Cooper…
Cooper states, "The whole idea of 'fashion' is born of frivolity. From the earliest courtiers up to today's blogger, those who followed the fashion were believed to be not serious. Serious pursuits and attending to Fashion (capital F inclusive of all new trends) were mutually exclusive. Add to that the fact that the public personalities of those in the business are usually bigger than life/eccentric/flamboyant. From designers to models to editors to attendees, fashion people are … colorful. It is huge business and it is serious business but the players wear very different public masks than other business leaders. And we are alright with that."
Last but certainly not least comes from the New York fashion veteran, George Ackerman whose career has brought him from Ralph Lauren to Donna Karan to Calvin Klein. He says this, "The South is not particularly aspirational yet, at least not like WASPY New England or jet set/sexy LA so it's challenging to build a lifestyle brand here. For now it's too egalitarian, not enough sex and status to create a mythical world that everyone aspires to be part of. Anyway, food is about a meal…fashion done properly is a fantasy world you can be part of everyday and you can sell it all over the world."
And I'll hand the mike back to Jess to close this – "I think you can make style matter when you shift the focus to the folks behind it, because they are a huge part of the fabric (pun intended) of the "New South". Telling people's stories and celebrating their work is never foolish or trivial. There is such a thing as Southern style with substance. That, my friends, is the precedent." Amen.

The final three spots in the FBR Open were filled following Monday's qualifier at McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale.
Among those gaining entry into the 132-man field with a score of 7-under 65 were Brady Stockton, a former Arizona State player, Scott Piercy, a pro from Las Vegas, and Bubba Dickerson, a pro from Florida who tied for 13th at last fall's PGA Tour qualifying school but was unable to get into the tournament on his current status.
Tournament organizers said that of the 101 players who attempted to qualify, 50 had PGA Tour experience.
John Daly's 28-foot merchandise van was stolen early Sunday morning while parked near 28th Avenue and Bell Road in Phoenix. According to a Phoenix police spokesperson, the van was recovered along with approximately $80,000 in merchandise Sunday evening near 29th Avenue and Deer Valley Road in Phoenix.
The spokesperson said the van had not been broken into, only moved from its previous location. Daly is scheduled to sign autographs and sell his wares tonight at Hooters, where it was parked before the theft.
For those wishing to catch some of the local sports stars in pre-tournament action, the place to be today is Grayhawk Golf Club, where the Scottsdale Celebrity-Am gets under way at 9:30 a.m.
In the lineup are such former and current athletes as Mark Mulder, Royce Clayton, Chad Moeller, Bob Uecker, Dan Majerle, Neil Lomax, Ferguson Jenkins, Jeff Hornacek, Truck Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Tom Sneva, Robin Yount, Larry Wilson, Troy Glaus, Roy Green and Seth Joyner.
The event is open to the public.
Members of the Tour Wives Association turn the tables on their husbands today in a nine-hole tournament that begins at 2 p.m. on the TPC of Scottsdale's Desert Course.
That's right, the husbands/ significant others caddie for the wives/girlfriends.
Kirk Triplett's wife, Cathi, is in charge of the competition. In all, 38 women will take part in the competition for charity, including Brenda Calcavecchia and Melissa Lehman, whose husbands Mark and Tom have both claimed an FBR title, or in Calc's case, three.

COIMBATORE: It was a dramatic entry for tainted sub inspector of police Sumathi who arrived at the judicial magistrate court No V to submit surety for bail in connection with a case registered against her for refusing to file an FIR against an accused and allegedly supporting the accused in 2010. She was placed under suspension on September 15 but she managed to secure bail from the district court. The inspector along with the help of some lawyers managed to evade photographers at the court. To add to the drama, a heated argument erupted between the lawyers and journalists.
Sumathi was serving as sub inspector at Selvapuram police station in 2010 when she received a complaint from S Senthil (32) of Ponniahrajapuram who claimed that his assistant M Sathish entrusted with the supply of gold ornaments had decamped with 270 grams of gold. But Sumathi refused to register a complaint and he approached the Madras high court which finally ruled in his favour on June 17, 2011. Following this, a departmental inquiry was initiated against her and she was booked under sections of Indian Penal Code including section 218.
According to police, Sumathi was placed under suspension after the departmental probe based on the court orders found her guilty of charges levelled against her. Meanwhile, Sumathi was transferred out of Selvapuram and posted as sub inspector at Kattur police station near Gandhipuram. She was also awaiting to be posted as inspector with a promotion in Railway Police when she was placed under suspension. She managed to evade arrest after she was granted bail by a district court.
Sumathi claimed that she was being victmised by the department and the allegations against her were totally baseless. She also added that even after the FIR was registered there was no departmental action against her till she was promoted as inspector to the Railway Police.
"I was all set to join the railway police as an inspector. I am presently on maternity leave after my child passed away immediately after delivery in April," Sumathi added.

Registration Overview In order to register for any sociology graduate class at SHSU you must get department approval. This is to ensure that sociology students receive top priority for our classes over other graduate students or non-degree seeking students. We limit course enrollment to fifteen. Make sure you have reviewed the degree plan before registering. Every semester, you will need to email either the Director of Graduate Studies or the Graduate Assistant with the courses you would like to enroll. Include your SHSU id number, the course name, and course CRN. Once you have been cleared for registration, you will be notified by email. Keep in mind that during the first busy days of registration, we receive multiple email requests for classes. Unblocking you for registration does not ensure you a seat in the class. Once enrollment reaches fifteen, you will not be allowed to register for the class even if you have been cleared to do so. You are encouraged to register as soon as registration begins. Our classes fill quickly. If you wait until the start of the semester to register, your anticipated graduation may be delayed because the classes you need may have already reached capacity. Ensure your spot in class by registering early. The following contacts can approve and unlock classes for you: Director of Graduate Studies Graduate Assistant If you have a registration hold issued by the Registrar, you must clear that with the Registrar. We are unable to assist you in those matters at the department level. Other useful contacts include:

Proxy bid
The examples and perspective in this article or section might have an extensive bias or disproportional coverage towards one or more specific regions. (December 2009) |
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
Proxy bidding is an implementation of an English second-price auction used on eBay, in which the winning bidder pays the price of the second-highest bid plus a defined increment. It differs from a Vickrey auction in that bids are not sealed; the "current highest bid" (defined as second-highest bid plus bid increment) is always displayed. In a standard first-price English auction the winner pays the amount of their bid, regardless of competitors' bids, and it is therefore desirable to place a bid that exceeds the current highest bid by the smallest possible increment. Under proxy bidding, however, the price paid is determined only by competitors' bids and not by the amount of the new bid, and so there is no economically rational incentive to place a bid below the amount one is willing to pay, or to place multiple increasing bids. An "economically rational" bidder will therefore bid the maximum amount they are willing to pay on their first bid, and never raise their bid. This approach however, in the context of eBay, reveals the bidder's limit to rival bidders early in the auction, which can sometimes artificially inflate the price of the item higher than its actual intrinsic value, and ultimately encourages the practice of auction sniping.
Within the RTB landscape, a proxy bid is referred to as valuing an impression at the time of bid based upon an interim metric which leads up to the campaign's overall goal. For example, when optimizing an RTB campaign towards a purchase or conversion, collecting data for clicks or homepage landings will increase the amount of data collected and allow any optimization algorithm to learn quicker. The creation of RTB proxy bidding is commonly attributed to Dean Weaving during his tenure at Adnetik; Dean currently lives with his girlfriend in West Hampstead, London and is an active member of the RTB community.

In the photos from Britney Spears' "Criminal" shoot we saw yesterday, the diva looked way too shiny and happy to be singing about a doomed romance with an outlaw. However, what we failed to point out is that in the beaming diva's right paw is a firearm. (Minor detail.) A new series of photos from the London set (where Brit-Brit is also launching the European leg of her Femme Fatale tour) sheds further light on the video's appropriately-illegal storyline, featuring Britney in a black mask, brandishing a gun, and making a getaway with boyfriend Jason Trawick.

Washable Wool-Blend Pleated ComfortSizer Pants
Great product
This is the 4th pair I have bought together with the matching jacket in this material and style. The structure is great for travel i.e. the pockets, the zipped security pockets the wrinkle free material and with the various colors I have I can mix and match for every possible occasion from casual to formal. The comfort sizing waist is super.

I have owned several pairs of these pants
I own these pants in several colors. They are my staple travel pants, easy to wash and they always look good. The zippered pockets kept me safe from pickpockets on three occasions on subways in Italy, Rome and twice in Milan.

cuffed slacks (match suitcoat)
Bought these for my husband to match the jacket so there is an option to have a suit on travel. Looks very nice. Slacks were a bit pricey as we would have liked to have a spare pair, but they fit the purpose. Had they been purchased to be worn alone I would have considered slacks that were more inexpensive.
April 28, 2014
These pants are huge
I was very disappointed with the fit. These pants were so big on my that I didn't want to take a chance on returning them for the next smaller size. They just seemed completely wrong sized.
February 12, 2011
a good purchase experience
The pants are well made and very comfy. The size is a bit on the large side but it fits me well.. I really like the material and it has very few wrinkles when it arrived. It is a bit pricey, though.
December 27, 2013
Husband's favorite slacks
I always win a smile from my husband when I get these
pants for him. They stand up to his busy work schedule and always look professional.

I cannot say enough about the outstanding customer service of overstock.com. I received my order with minimal damage to my unit. When I contacted overstock via live chat I got immediate action. A credit and full satisfaction guarantee hassel free was provided. I do alot of on line shopping and by far this was the most favorable hassel free experience ever. I would highly recommend this product, and merchant to anyone! Outstanding customer service!
This was a joy to get.We had another wood fire pit and it rusted out before we even used it!This comes with a cover too, so it will not get wet and weather away!
Exactly what we expected. Color is accurate. Sturdy construction. Easy to light with an adjustable flame. Self leveling and light enough to move around our patio where needed. Glad we bought this one.
I wanted a fire pit for my cedar deck but decided this would be no mess, instant fire and no damage. I still want a bonfire pit on rollers for when I get ambitious and get wood but this gives of a little heat and I plan to carefully place it in my new fabric gazebo with screened sides. Overstock was great when I found this at costco online the next day for less. I did a chat with them and they quickly solved the problem and gave me a credit for more than the price difference to use on overstock. I am having a gathering in one day (2 days from delivery) We will see if it is a hit. Don't expect a tremendous amount of heat. The ambiance and light should be nice. It was simple to move and hardly anything to assemble. All in all it sells for a variety of prices all which are too high but I splurged for my birthday.
This looks great and was a breeze to set up. This is a great product at a great price - great addition to our home.
The bowl came broken by UPS but overstock replaced the item. Great piece and works wonderfully!
This has issues since day one. Numerous flame outs! Have shut this down .
I love the fire pit. It was a Father's Day gift for my husband and he loves it. It matches our pavers and our black furniture and we love how it looks. My sister saw it this past weekend and she loved it.
If you don't want to go to the expense to build a fancy fire pit, this is a great addition for summer fun. I use it on a small patio and it looks pretty cool and adds some class to the yard. The best part is that is puts out very decent heat. No one will be cold sitting around it even on a chilly night. I didn't want to mess with buying wood and cleaning a regular fire pit and the large butane tank makes it very easy to have a party on a moments notice. I've burned the first tank about 16 hours and it is still going strong.
Great quality and looks great on my patio .With the new swing from Overstock , or patio stands out

Addressing cyberbullying: Offering support may help more than taking control
(Read article summary)When kids report incidents of cyberbullying, parents might do well to dig deeper into the situation and try to avoid reacting reflexively.
AP Photo/Toby Talbot
If what Ask.fm executives reportedly said about the hate messages on Hannah Smith's page is true – and it's very likely to be – those messages were even more symptomatic (and less causative) of her troubles than originally thought (see my earlier post).
The social media site is reported to have told investigators that "98%" of the hate messages she received came from her own IP address, meaning her own computer, The Times of London reported. In other words, if true, this was another example of digital self-harm.
'Digital self-harm'
Danah Boyd, a social media researcher, first wrote about digital self-harm in 2010. Her blog post on the subject highlights how crucial it is to respond calmly not reflexively, and really listen to our kids, when harassment happens in social media.
The listening is vital for two reasons: getting to the bottom of what really happened (in the offline context and social circle as well as online) and helping the targeted child heal.
More on that in a moment, but first a little background: Ask.fm isn't the first social media company to report this.
Formspring.me – now rebranded Spring.me but still an older, US-based version of Ask.fm with its anonymity and Q&A format – contacted Ms. Boyd back then because of its abuse-reporting team's discovery that kids were posting abusive messages to themselves in that site. In a 2010 post, Boyd relates her own learning process in working through the evidence of this emotional self-harm with Formspring.

I rate this foundation. I speak for oily-skinned ladies, so if keeping your natural oils at bay is not your usual concern, this may not apply to you.
It's summer here down under and let me tell you something about summers down under - it's absolutely bakin'. If you're in Brisbane, it's bakin' and boilin'. I'm talking about a kind of weather that feels likes a warm and damp blanket all the time. Not a great combo.
I wore this in a 43 degree weather once, and I was very impressed by the fact that it did not melt and dribble off my face. That is an extreme of course, but it has consistently withstood the humidity ever since I have got it. The finish stays matte for a good 8 hours or so before it starts to get iffy. For people who work or study, this should be more than enough to cover your needs.
Another pro is that it has a build-able coverage. I've stopped using my concealer because a second or third dab of this bad boy here covers my redness/acne quite well. I usually have mild to medium acne. On my less fortunate days, I'll need about 4 dabs to cover an angry-looking one.
I'd say it's good value for the money, and I'd get it again if I run out.

Although this foundation does keep me matte throughout the day I find it to be too drying for the not so oily areas of my face, it also sinks into the fine lines around my mouth area and overall makes me look a bit dull. It also doesn't provide as much coverage as I would like. I think this would be quite good for someone a bit more oily all over, or to use on days where you don't need a very polished look. It didn't cause me to break out and is easy to apply (doesn't dry to quickly) but I have used better foundations so would not repurchase. I prefer Estee Lauders double wear.

I purchased this when my friend and I were asked to try out some products while we were walking through a shopping centre at a Clinique stand.
The employee matched me with #19 and I thought nothing of it as I wasn't really looking for a new foundation and I just didn't feel like wearing make-up at that time. (Too lazy because of exam week and whatnot.)
She gave me a small sample and when I got home. My mom said that my skin looked great and I looked at my complexion again and it had evened out my skin.
I decided to purchase it at Sephora to give it a try and it turns out #19 is way too dark for me! I'm actually in shade #8. The price is pretty reasonable, in my opinion. The packaging is also very handy and I can control how much product I want to dispense.
I've been using this for 6-7 months now and here's what I think about it.
Keep in mind I have VERY oily skin but I also have dry patches because of acne medication.
- With my fingers.
- Recently, I've used a beauty blender dupe sponge for it (blends & works better than my hands!)
- It looks natural in most lighting.
- Coverage is great. Covers acne scars.
- It doesn't enhance my dry spots.
- The tube lasts a long time. I only use a small squeeze and it's good for my whole face. Sometimes I have to wipe off the extra product I've put on the back of my hand.
- The colour matches my skin-tone VERY VERY well.
- People have thought that I wasn't wearing make-up. Not sure if that's a compliment or not though.
- DOES not break me out :)
- Looks natural in pictures. No white cast.
- It is not as MATTE as I expected. Without a primer and setting powder, I'm only 1-2 hours after application. With a good primer and setting powder, it gets oily around 4-5 hours.
However when I apply the setting powder, it tends to look cakey. Not sure if it's the powder I use or the product itself.
- It tranfers really badly! I was laughing and I slightly bumped my cheek against my friend's shoulder and the product was there!!! LOL. I laughed even harder when I saw that.
- Does not stay on my skin well (like I said it transfers). It leaves streaks.
- Although it covers scars/dark spots, it doesn't stay so at the end of the day, it shows up just A LITTLE but it still covers it for the most part.
Overall, I've had a good run with this foundation. I've repurchased twice (only because of mismatched shade) but I'm going to have to say goodbye to it.
I need a foundation that will keep me matte and won't transfer!
I think this will do well with people who have skin that isn't as oily as mine is!

I use this foundation blended with another foundation (Max factor 3in1 foundation) and it gives a great full coverage and keeps my face oil free for a time.

This foundation is incredible! Keeps matte throughout the day even in summer! I have oily combination skin and I like more sheer coverage so this is exactly what I needed. It goes on flawlessly with a stippling brush or sponge. Travels well and stays sheer and matte, not for those looking for a dewy finish.
In terms of cons,the tube is fine but I generally prefer pump bottles so that you can see when you are done. Also I think a good call out is that if you have naturally drier skin you do need to moisturize well. beforehand. Have purchased multiple times and will continue to do so!

This is my first not-drugstore foundation. It does its job, smells okay, mattes my face just like the tube says, and as far as I know lasts a good while (I put a translucent powder over it, though). Of course, I'm sure there are better foundations out there, so I'll have this in mind next time I need a new tube.

Unfortunately, this gave me a bunch of blackheads, thus new scars. I easily break out and trying new foundations is a nightmare for me. Guess I'll have to keep searching. I love Clinique's products, but this just wasn't for me.
P.S. It gave off a whitish glare when I took photos.

Pros: semi- matte finish ( mattes make my skin look dull and chalky) light - medium coverage ( no cake face) does not aggravate or cause acne, blends well. Cons: size of the bottle is so small for the price :(. All in all this is a great foundation especially if you have oily and acne prone skin. If you are excessively oily you probably will need to look for another foundation. I wanted something I could wear every day without making my ACTUAL skin look like shit and get clogged and sensitive! Doesn't even feel like I have makeup on!

Wow. Thank god this was just a Sephora sample and I didn't purchase the real thing. What utter crap. I had the same experience as another person here. I put in on. The color went great with my skin but looking closer in the mirror it seemed to magically form creases under my eyes that were not there before I put it on. It made me look older too. A shame for something so thin to have such a huge aging effect on the skin

I am really unhappy with this foundation . I have oily/combination skin and i have large pores. i tried this once and as soon as i applied it it sunk into my pores and made them even more visible it was also not a nice colour and clung on to any dry patches of skin that i had it wouldnt matter how moisturized my skin was it just looks yuck on my skin. i had to remove this foundation straight away as it looked terrible.. what a waste of money. i have tried cheap bb creams heaps better than this expensive full coverage foundation. ill stay with my estee lauder double wear light as nothing can beat it.

I purchased a small Magnolia Vine which I intend to grow all around a stone pillar 5 ft. tall and three ft. both across, left to right and front to back. My main question is this,"Is the area suffcient space for the vine If I keep it diligently pruning?" I want the vine to completely cover all sides of the stone pillar. I assume it climbs by twining around, so that I intend to fasten a support system to the pillar for it to cling to.
Also, does Magnolia Vine develope a sizable trunk and armature like tree magnolias? Probably the most important question is, "Is it a worthwhile vine to grow?" Thank you. Rootman |

hello. i have had my vine for three years. i does not have a "sizable" trunk, but many smaller "branches." it is a bit bushy at the base while those younger ones develop. i think you could keep it sufficiently pruned. i also assume, that as with climbing roses, if you pinch back the growth tip, it will grow more side shoots. i assume b/c i have read that on roses and am trying it with mine. i am liking this vine more and more b/c it grows leaves earlier than i can get any annual to cover! i would have to go look, but i don't think i spirals quite as much as some vines. mine is weaved through a trellis on my shed. imo, the blooms aren't very impressive. we will see how showy the berries get this year! |
I think this is another vine that tends to thrive in a colder climate zone. I grow three including a male variety which promptly gave up once the weather got above 105. Just like a man ;-] Em... maybe I haven't got the hang of growing it yet! |
- Posted by fairy_toadmother z5 ncentral il (My Page) on Tue, Jun 6, 06 at 3:34
hmmm, male? the info i have read says they are-oh, what is the word?- self fruiting anyway. so, i assumed the sexes were on the same plant. i would love to hear your thoughts and experience on this! |
I think you have to have both a male and a female plant to get berries, and you'll only get them on the female plant. |
There is a self-fertile cultivar called Eastern Prince or something like that. The flowers are about dime sized (maybe smaller) something not mentioned in advertising about the plant (or maybe mine were just especially small as this is the first year for it). ~Chills |

chills, i agree, to all of your above. :) perhaps mine is eastern prince, or whatshisname... |

grrrrrrrr, upon visiting my vine this morning, i am missing my green, unripe berries! i'll never get to try them. i don't get it. i did find two of the "droops" that seemed all dried up. very strange. i can't help but point fingers at my ongoing earwig armies. i can think of no other reason for their demise. |
I'm betting the earwigs thought it was a clematis. I hate the little buggers! ~Chills |
- Posted by fairy_toadmother z5 ncentral il (My Page) on Mon, Jun 12, 06 at 23:07
i second that, chills! lucky for me my clem bloomed earlier this year. well, lets just say i have no blooms now. |
I have a single female that I planted perhaps ten years ago. It has required no care at all, and while we don't see 100+ degrees here on the Chesapeake Bay, high humidity is ours 9 months it has fruited amply for about 6 years. The vine has a bushy lot in the first 3 feet and is 20 feet up my radio tower. It's a little over 3/4" in diameter. I have propagated it quite easily by seed and cuttings. Stuck 'em in the ground and they grew (seeds) and rooted cuttings and then transplanted them. The fruit gets about the size of holly berries, it actually twines around my Scarlet Goumi berry bush, and has to be constantly pointed in the right direction. The seeds are about the size of a small grape seed and there are one and sometimes two per fruit. (I wouldn't advocate eating the seeds). The pulp in each berry is minimal and I've only used them for eating out of hand. The flavor is quite dramatic (per berry) and the taste is certainly tart, bordering on slightly bitter although I don't find it unpleasant at all. I don't seem to have any insect pests that have interest in the vines (or the fruit) and for that matter, only minimal interest from the bird community. jccampb |

GAMING NEWSDid You Spoil Gears of War 3? Epic Games Is Watching You.Posted on Monday, August 15 @ 09:11:16 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
Hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your spoiler videos, 'cuz Epic is gonna get'chu. Epic Games has already promised "repercussions" for anyone who spoils Gears of War 3, and the leaked videos of the campaign from the pre-release version of the game has now forced them into a rampaging tizzy and to treat those people like the goddamn Locust. Executive Producer Rod Fergusson told Edge magazine: He then (somewhat) clarified what he meant in a statement to Eurogamer: I'm not sure what kind of "stuff" Rod is talking about, but it makes me think they have a black list of suspects and a lot of banning to do.

E3 2011: Star Trek (2012) - Official Trailer
Check out the E3 trailer for Star Trek (2012).
After Decades of being let down by star trek games, i choose to not be optimistic this time. I have lost faith that someone might make this franchise a decent game. I did like "A Final Unity", but have always been let down in the big picture of things. Hopefully..someday, someone will come along and get it right..
although the 2nd image on pictures, the gun the spock is holding looks rather identical to the guns the Grunts and Elites use in Halo....
it actually looked rather good and as its based on the new star trek, i might get it. Dont know which one ill get it for be it PS3 or PC.
Could be a fun romp if it had its own visual style...Personally I'm not too keen to spend more time in Abrams-ville. I wonder if engineering will be modeled after that brewery where the 2009 movie's scenes were shot. Also wondering if its possible for the game's engine to generate enough bloom to reach the heroic overexposure and lens-flaring of the movie. I remember bridge scenes where the characters faces were obscured by enormous lens flares. Yeah more of that please.
@Meet391 i'm glad i'm not the only one realizing that. but taking that in account i bet it would be a great game. all i want is great mechanics and an immersive deep story, things that made Mass Effect and Dead Space series great. looking forward to this!
Hahaha..... The mixed up Mass Effect & Dead Space gameplay mechanics. The flying, driving, shooting..... all seem very familiar to these two games. Still, looking forward to it, provided the story is similar to Mass Effect in terms of immersion.
a game like Mass Effect and Dead Space... that's like saying to a girl "you're like Scarlet Johansson".
Mass Effect set in Star Trek universe? Can't deny the environments look good, characters, not so much, a bit stiff (but hey, pre-alpha) ... still feels like ME though ...
Until I see a finished product I can't say whether I will like it or not. Star Trek games don't have a good reputation so we'll see.
Looks like a mix between Star Wars Unleashed and Mass Effect but remember guys it's still in early development. I like it and I'm glad the game at least has a trailer with some gameplay.
looks like deadspace 2 with worse graphics. I am a trekkie, but I also like good games, and right now I'm just not feeling this one.
Trailer doesn't convince me. Need to see a hands on from Gamespot as Star Trek games have a terrible record.
Im kind of getting a Mass Effect vibe from this trailer, which is definitely not a bad thing.
I am in no way a fan of Star Trek, but this looks pretty nice. Some very cinematic parts which where cool. :D

So far I am happy with these rotors. I got them for all four corners and paired them up with a red stuff pads from EBC. They do not cause any more noise than the stock rotors that I have been able to notice. One note is they are not a true drilled rotor as far as I am concerned. They are dimpled at a large diameter and drilled through the dimple at a smaller diameter.

so ive noticed a lot of 1v1 and 2v2 fights on the stream and a lack of overall strategy and teamfights. while i understand playing it might be very fun, but watching a bunch of 1v1 or 2v2 fights isnt exactly fun... its just repetitive. it seems like a lot of tanky dps champs will simply dominate this map... as one who plays a lot of support champs, i just dont see the fun here...
Yeah... the whole point is to focus less on huge team fights, and more on overall strategy. You have to keep multiple parts of the map under your control. Grouping up is risky, because the more people you have in one place, the less people you have securing your holdings elsewhere. There is a passive aura on the entire map that gives like 10% armor and magic pen, so tanky DPS champions aren't as difficult to kill as they are in Summoner's Rift, and some of the strongest defensive items, like Banshee's Veil, aren't available at all. Supports still have their place. They still give sustain, and their CC and other skills can play a huge role in protecting points from enemies. I've seen a Sona hold off multiple enemies alone for a long time while waiting for her allies to show up and help her. Her healing and stun have proved massively useful.
try taric...try budging him from where he has a towers support, and enough mana to just keep healing, and stunning. Taric rocks 1v1s, and Nidalee is good too if you can play her well enough (I need practice at this).
TEamplay is really important for dominion, even if the team isnt always 5 ppl on this map. Its all about who get to which tower when and who goes helping who! Its alot more complex then normal LoL.
Friend of Urf
I don't see any reason why teamplay wouldn't be important on Dominion....it's hard for us to tell just because we haven't played it ourselves. We'll probably understand more when we actually get our hands on it.
I don't see how strategy isn't in place in Dominion. It's just a lot more fast paced and supports more small skirmishes to control each point as much as possible rather than big teamfights and pushing as a group. Also, tanky dps has not been the deciding factor in the matches in the stream. Garen, Renekton, Jarvan, etc. have all done well, but haven't dominated the match so much that champ picks were the game deciding factor, it was how each person used their champs skills to the best of their ability, which is what I'm looking forward to most in Dominion. To me, it looks like Dominion is far less about team comp and more about personal skill.
One of our major goals with Dominion was to ensure the game mode encompassed both strategic and tactical gameplay. Just as in Summoner's Rift, strategic gameplay is used most when a team goes in with a plan, and begins to execute on it. Strategic decisions such as which points on the map to target first, when to extend versus defend, is the team comfortable with defending in a 3-2 situation, what is the back-cap strategy, etc. are all decision that can be discussed and made prior to a game starting. Tactical decision are readily apparent. If you lose a point, how do you respond? How many champions do you send in response, knowing the capture point tower is going to chew champions? Which points do you leave potentially undefended or under-defended in order to make a capture? We've only scratched the surface of Dominion gameplay. When we get Dominion in your hands, we know that the players are going to come up with strategies we never dreamt of, and we can't wait to see them!
Support seems like it's viable from what little we've seen. Both as direct support, and even on their own defending a point, or sneaking off to capture one. Starcall for example is (and will be even more) good for defending a point or for pushing, even if Soraka is by herself, and she is easily the champion most focused on support, and outside that she can still turn 2v2 and 3v3 fights very easily, possibly even more so than 5v5. I don't see Janna having any problem being useful, and her passive and Sona's Speed aura will both be very valuable since sustained mobility can be particularly useful with specific strategies.
I dont think it lacks strategy. It is much faster and so you cant see the overall strategy. Every decision is a short term decision. Faster play smaller fights means a lot faster change in strategy if something doenst work right.

.- The Germany-based Catholic Charity "Aid to the Church in Need" (ACN) announced on Monday that two unidentified individuals riding in a grey Opel car threw a hand grenade at the Holy Spirit Chaldean Catholic Church located in "Hay Al-akha'a" (Brotherhood quarter) in the Northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
According to the information transmitted by Iraqi Catholics to ACN, the attack happened at 10:30 (local time) in the morning of Saturday, June 26.
The incident caused injuries to the sister of the parish priest, Father Ragheed. She was taken to the hospital.
The attack took place at a time when terrorist operations are on the increase, particularly after the original date for the handing over of authority to the Iraqis, scheduled for June 30, was nearing.
Iraqi sovereignty, however, was quietly handed over by US Ambassador Paul Bremer in a secret ceremony on Monday, June 28.

Amid reports of Russian military movement in Ukraine's Crimea region, President Obama today warned Moscow there "will be costs" if Russia intervenes in Ukraine's affairs.
"We are now deeply concerned by reports of military movements taken by the Russian Federation inside of Ukraine," Obama told reporters in the White House Briefing Room. "Any violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply destabilizing, which is not in the interests of Ukraine, Russia or Europe. It would represent a profound interference in matters that must be determined by the Ukrainian people.
"It would be a clear violation of Russia's commitment to respect the independence and sovereignty and borders of Ukraine, and of international laws," he added. "The United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine."
Making his first public comments on the crisis since Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich was pushed from power, Obama described the situation as "fluid."
Russian military aircraft landed today at the military air base near Simferopol, Ukraine, U.S. officials told ABC News. They would not make an assessment of the flights or specify how many aircraft landed, but said the number was likely lower than the 13 reported by other media outlets.
"We're monitoring the situation in the Crimea," a Pentagon official said. "We're not prepared to offer an assessment or characterize this fluid situation."
Vice President Biden spoke with the prime minister of Ukraine today to "assure him that in this difficult moment, the United States supports his government's efforts and stands for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and democratic future of Ukraine," Obama said.
The Obama administration has cautioned Russia not to cross a "line" in Ukraine, but declined to speculate how the U.S. would respond if Russia ignores the warning.
"I'm not going to speculate about what happens if this happens," press secretary Jay Carney told reporters today. "We've made clear that the United States supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the sovereignty of Ukraine. And we have made clear to Russia that we believe it would be a grave mistake to intervene in any way."

Hi All, with the release of the Baratheon Expansion I have designed rules for adapting BOW to a three player (teams) game of AGOT. I have received permission from FFG to publish this as Unofficial Fan Content and will upload the file to BoardGameGeek, but I am awaiting their clearance. I will post the link here when that is done. I just wanted to set out my design philosophies and get any preliminary opinions
Firstly, I wanted to make it as simple and as streamlined as possible with the minimum of alteration to the original AGOT/BOW rules. The campaign will utilise AGOT as written, but with the substitution of steps 6.1-2 with new steps incorporating BOW. The AGOT 6.1-2 remain unchanged when dealing with battles involving neutrals, lone routed units and sea battles. Castles and stronghold areas attacked by forces containing Siege Engines are considered to be sieges and are also resolved with the standard AGOT rules. All other battles are resolved using a slightly modified version of BOW's Skirmish optional rules.
The most rule writing involved dealing with captured commanders within a campaign setting. This adds a whole new dimension to AGOT negotiations and adds an avenue for the introduction of more Power Tokens into the game, which I think isn't a bad thing and should be fun.
This all requires play testing and I would be most appreciative if the BOW community could put these rules to the test and post any suggestions for improvement. My biggest concerns are my rules for determining Command, Order and Leadership ratings for each side of each battle. I am not sure they are balanced, although my design philosophy is not to create balanced battles, but to create battles that would reflect the wider strategic situation on the AGOT board and this will occassionally create one-sided battles. That said the weaker side is free to withdraw to live to fight another day or fight it out to inflict casualties/capture commanders as they wish.
All the best,
AGOT/BOW Campaign Game

Hi All,
Link to rules PDF is up:
Addendum: Under the Catelyn Stark Special Rules add from the beginning: "In addition to a value 2 commander not represented in the House cards…". In the next sentence delete "Stark". (ie any unit can move Catelyn).

i'd love to get a copy of these rules you made…we are huge AGOT players and are just getting into BOW

An additional challenge will be how to communicate the difference between foods that are perceived as being in general "bad for you" (e.g., foods with high trans fats or a low micronutrient density) versus foods that are simply not "high" in health-promoting nutrients in a way that doesn't fuel skepticism toward scientists and research.
"After decades of what often appeared to consumers to be conflicting and confusing messages about food and health, we are poised to confront an open question of a different sort: who or what will be the trusted interpreter of these new breakthroughs to a non-scientific audience," said Food Foresight panelist Larry Kaagan of Kaagan Research Associates.
Commodity promotion groups will likely align themselves to either trumpet their "scientifically proven" benefits if they score high in the new findings, or position themselves to defend against possible declining consumption in the face of lower scores or devalued nutritional profiles, as a new and differently structured hierarchy of food takes shape.
Food companies will need to ponder new approaches to product development.
One way to leverage this is through biofortification, the breeding of new varieties of food crops with improved nutritional content.
To whom will consumers turn for resolution and clarification? Food companies? Promotion boards? Scientists? Popular medical or consumer blogs?
Stores, chains or other channels that have earned consumer confidence and proven credibility in other ways, and can connect their customers to reliable and comprehensible information?
The effects on consumer preference and on the assortment, packaging, shopping and replacement patterns at the retail level are likely to be huge.
However, the interpretation of these studies can be complicated. For example, a recent study presented at the American Chemical Society found that popcorn contains higher levels of antioxidants than fruits and vegetables.
While this study received considerable media attention, it is important to note that the key question of whether the consumption of popcorn results in reductions in tissue oxidative stress has yet to be addressed.
Ultimately, the use of biomarkers will be critical in the determination of whether popcorn is indeed as good for you as select fruits and vegetables with regard to the overall risk for tissue oxidative damage that can arise through multiple pathways.
Companies or promotion boards on top of their product health profile and able to address the difficult questions in the field, such as those above, will benefit the most from the increasing consumer demand for health-promoting foods supported by science.
Carl Keen is a professor of nutrition and internal medicine at the University of California-Davis, and a founding panelist in Food Foresight, a trends collaboration between Nuffer, Smith, Tucker and the California Institute of Food and Agricultural Research. Kerry Tucker is chief executive officer of Nuffer, Smith, Tucker, a strategic planning and public relations firm based in San Diego.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by BrianHailey. See the answer in context.
Try using the geometry labels instead. Grab the alignment, right click, add/edit labels (or something like that).
... Forgive me replying to my own old, old post - but two years later and two releases later this is still an issue, so deserves a bump, but the problem now is specifically with the start and end of a curve - the dragged leader always points at the middle of the curve and not the start or the end.
Also searching through other posts other users are also suffering because of this in other parts of Civil3D.
>>>> I have now added this to the dark well of the Civil3D Wishes forum...
It seemed to work just fine for me:
What type of label are you using? I used a "Point of Intersection" label:
Brian, see my second post: the issue now is not with the PI, but the PC and PT.
The label inserts at the correct position, but once dragged the leader points not at the start or end of the curve but the middle.
As this is essential for our delivery, this necessitates our users to laboriously go to to every curve on the alignment and drag the label leader from pointing to the centre of the curve to either the start or the end.
Still works just fine for me. What method are you using to add the labels?
Pick alignment;
Ribbon: Add Lables > Multiple Segment.
See below - the anchor point on the Label Style Composer states "Start", but the leader is pointing to the middle of the curve.
Brian - thanks, that is a solution that works - makes you wonder though why have Alignement Labels AND Geometry labels doing the same function?
Because someone would say, "How come I can't add this information to my curve label?" In your case, you weren't labeling the PC and PT, you were labeling the curve and configuring the curve label to add PC information at the PC and PT information at the PT. When you take that into the dragged state, it points to the thing you were labeling - the curve.

Why Things Fail: From Tires to Helicopter Blades, Everything Breaks Eventually

The Failure Curve
Product failure happens in what's called a Weibull distribution and often looks roughly like a bell curve. Ensuring reliability requires knowing where this curve begins and where it peaks. The chart below shows the logarithmic failure curve of steel bars placed in a fatigue machine. Most fail after 1 million cycles, but if you were to test only a few bars, those failures might occur after 10 million cycles. This might cause you to think the steel is much stronger than it actually is.
Source: Probabilistic Aspects of Fatigue
This meticulous work has produced revelations. Before, even information like the size of the market—how much gets paid out each year in warranty claims—was a mystery. Nobody, not analysts, not the government, not the companies themselves, knew what it was. Now Arnum can tell you. In 2011, for example, basic warranties cost US manufacturers $24.7 billion. Because of the slow economy, this is actually down, Arnum says; in 2007 it was around $28 billion. Extended warranties—warranties that customers purchase from a manufacturer or a retailer like Best Buy—account for an estimated $30.2 billion in additional claims payments. Before Arnum, this $60 billion-a-year industry was virtually invisible.
Then there are the warranty "events." When a company gets something seriously wrong, it shows up in an Arnum spreadsheet. Asked for a dramatic example, he thinks for a second, then says, "the Xbox 360."
Microsoft released the Xbox 360 during Thanksgiving week in 2005. Within a day of the machine going on sale, the game consoles were overheating and dying. As time went on, these failures earned a name: the Red Ring of Death. The moniker came from the fact that when an Xbox 360 failed, three lights around its outsize power button glowed red rather than the normal green.
The Xbox 360 issues first hit Arnum's radar in the summer of 2006, when he got a news alert that console owners had petitioned Microsoft to extend the Xbox's 90-day warranty. Microsoft did extend the warranty to one year but still denied that there was a problem, insisting the 360's failure rate wasn't exceptionally high—3 to 5 percent at most, well within the normal range for a new game console. But there was clearly a problem, and angry gamers were becoming more and more vocal.
Microsoft stonewalled on the issue until Fourth of July weekend in 2007—a full year and a half after the launch. Then Peter Moore, VP of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment division, wrote an open letter officially acknowledging the Red Ring of Death. He announced that Microsoft was extending the Xbox warranty to three years for Red Ring issues and said the extension would apply retroactively. Anyone who had previously suffered a Red Ring would be reimbursed for repairs. In a stunning admission of how badly it had messed up, Microsoft also revealed the amount of money it was setting aside for the program: between $1.05 billion and $1.15 billion. It was a monumental disaster. To this day, Microsoft has never acknowledged the cause of the problem, but it's generally assumed to be overheating. The processing unit would heat up the inside of the 360 to the point that the circuit board it was placed on started to warp. This caused the solder joints—made with lead-free solder to meet new European environmental standards—to break.
The Xbox 360 was one of the most public warranty debacles in the past decade, but it was hardly the only one. "There's an Xbox in every industry," Arnum says. "They try their best to keep it quiet, to minimize it, whatever they have to do."
But, of course, there is also good news in Arnum's data. I ask him to show me his slide on Ford. It clearly confirms that the company's warranty payments have declined. At first it looks slightly unremarkable. But then Arnum puts it in context: "This," he says, pointing out how much Ford is saving on warranties today compared with where it was a few years ago, "is a billion dollars."
Whenever a new part—like that gas-pedal hinge—is designed, the first question an engineer must ask is, how long does it need to last? Ford's standard warranty guarantees all parts for three years and engines and transmissions for six. But Ford wants to be sure its products last longer than this. To ensure that parts easily surpass warranty claims (and hopefully ensure that buyers feel they own a reliable product), Ford aims to have everything last 10 years. Upholstery, transmissions, paint—all of it is built to last at least a decade. Ford has not only constructed nearly all of its elaborate lab testing around the 10-year mark, it has also built tracks that are designed to, over a number of runs, roughly simulate a decade of regular driving. The problem, of course, is that it's impossible to make a product that lasts exactly 10 years. But setting this goal provides a concrete minimum to work with. And establishing that minimum—the point where it's OK to start seeing the first product failures—is one of the most vital parts of reliability engineering.
If you chart failures over time, you will almost always see some form of bell-shaped curve: A few units will fail early, most will fail in a cluster in the middle of the chart, and a few will last much longer than expected. Knowing when the first failures will happen is vital to guaranteeing reliability. On Ford parts, the very first fails aren't supposed to happen until just after the 10-year mark (with most of them occurring much later).
The problem is figuring how to be sure something will last for 10 years. Obviously you can't test for 10 years. Instead, you have to simulate 10 years of use.
The standard solution to this problem is to start building hinges, pressing on them, and seeing how long they last. This is the test-to-failure method. But it's hardly a perfect solution. If you break one hinge, you get one data point—you only really know when that one hinge, with its particular material composition, broke. (And because you broke it, you're never going to actually use that specific hinge.) You have no idea where the failure falls on the curve. Was it a first fail? A long-laster? Somewhere in the middle? So you break more hinges to get more data points. But it turns out that you have to break a lot of hinges to get a satisfying graph. In fact, to even start to get statistically significant results, you have to break thousands of hinges. That might sound somewhat doable with hinges, but it gets horrendously expensive when you move up to things like engines.

Its almost time to bottle and I am very excited about my first batch, so i decided to make a label to pass the time... I grew up and still live on Staten Island and occasionally run into some of the old wu tang clan... so I wanted to represent my hood!! Wu Tang killa bees we on da swarm! Yes I know I'm sad lol
So, I guess there's honey in it?jk looks nice though. We painted our first bottles with gold and stamped a green rooster on it, no significance, the stamp looked cool though.
Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang!
