Recycled metal sculptures take flight
It only takes a glance at Maurice Berry's birdbath to realise it didn't come with a box and a barcode.

The dish itself is an offset plough disk, and bird that adorns it made from an industrial spring, horseshoes, and parts from harvesters and harrows. Its prominent spiked eyelashes are shearing combs, and the beak is an old pick head.
These days Maurice works as a gardener, as well as being the sculptor behind pieces like this one. But his previous career was in metalworking, and he says it's there he gained an appreciation of the items that find their way into his sculptures.
"Being in the metal industry, I see implements and appreciate that the construction of them would have taken a long time," Mr Berry says. "Some things would have been made in sand-cast moulds, for instance.
"I see the beauty in these things. I use all recycled parts, and I'm basically salvaging them from landfill."
The birdbath was borne of a simple need for such an item, and from there the decision to decorate it with a bird and a tangle of leaves and flowers developed.
"It was made out of necessity as much as anything.
"It was a few days in construction. Most of the time was spent kicking things around the floor of the shed, coming up with the idea of what I wanted.
"I think if you put too much time into it, you procrastinate about where things are going and it becomes very mechanical, but if you put yourself under a bit of time pressure, you just kind of do it.
"There is a demand out there for this stuff, but I don't get into the side of it where I'm just churning them out. I feel you lose your integrity when you start doing that sort of thing.
"You like to challenge yourself, and you like your clientele to have an individual item."

Tedisco: 25 years for knockout "punks"
Assemblyman James Tedisco proposes stiffening penalties for assaults that are committed by "punks" who treat it as a game when they sucker punch people without warning and try to knock them unconcious.
"Killing or injuring a person with one punch is no game and the state's criminal penalties to prosecute these dastardly individuals should not be a joke," said the Glenville republican in a news release.
Tedisco says Senator Hugh Farley is a co-sponsor of the Knockout Assault Deterrent Act, which he said was being drafted Thursday. It would provide for sentences of up to twenty-five years and would eliminate the availablility of youthful offender status for convicts.
Tedisco wants to hold liable any person who takes part in such a crime, not only those who do the punching.
The so-called game has been around for years but police in several states have been seeing a spike in these types of assaults. One man in Hoboken, NJ was killed, as was someone in St. Louis, where the defendant was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In Brooklyn on November 9, a 78-year-old woman carrying shopping bags was attacked. Her daughter said none of her belongings were touched.

Popular with everyone, watercress is a bit like rocket, with its own distinctive, fresh, peppery flavour.
I think it's too strong to be used on its own, but it's wonderful combined with lettuce, used as a garnish and for giving its own unmatched flavour to soups and sauces.

'El Presidente' Is the Comedy That Tom Cruise Needs and America Probably Deserves Somehow
Casting Couch By Samantha Wilson on November 20, 2013 | Be the First To CommentGather round, children, for the story of one international superstar attempting to guilt another into making a slapstick comedy for old time's sake. It's got intrigue, suspense and an open ending — everything you'd ever want in a Hollywood tale. Back in 2010, Tom Cruise was attached to a comedy called El Presidente, directed by Jay Roach and potentially co-starring either Jack Nicholson or maybe even Robert Downey Jr. That clearly never panned out. Now in the beautiful light of 2013, Cruise and new director Doug Liman (who worked with Cruise on the upcoming Edge of Tomorrow) are attempting to make the presidential movie a reality once more — and they want Nicholson back on board. El Presidente centers on a straight-laced secret service agent (that would be Cruise) who is assigned to protect America's least favorite former president, a gross, womanizing boozehound who only ever got the job because he got booted up from Veep when the actual president died. When bad guys threaten the politician's life, the duo must escape together, setting up a buddy comedy/action thriller hopefully involving a lot of patriotic motifs.

After upgrading from SMP7.5 to 7.5P1 on our production setup (which has SQL server offbox) one niggle was that IT Analytics stopped working. All console users were presented with this error,
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot impersonate user for data source 'ITAnalytics'. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser)
Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct. (rsLogonFailed)
After rechecking our settings in the console, we couldn't understand the root cause. Logging in directly to the SQL server and trying to access the reports through the report url, http://localhost/reports, resulted in the same error.
After playing a bit with permissions and getting nowhere, I found this tech article, "TECH213502: Error accessing IT Analytics reports after upgrade to 7.5" which seems to cover the ground required to fix this.
What I did to resolve was,
- In the SMP console is to re-confirm my authentication settings under "IT Analytics Settings" -> Configuration
We don't have kerberos configured here and use "Stored Credential" authentication type. So I just clicked the pencil to reset the service user name and password, and then clicked "Save Security Settings" to finish.
- On the SQL Server, open up the report server url (http://localhost/reports) in Internet Explorer. Navigate to the "IT Analytics" folder and re-enter the stored credentials in the "IT Analytics" and "CMDB" database objects.
Instantly the reporting kicked back into life. If anyone can shed some light as to why this was required please do!

Are we all hedonists?
Hedonism in a nutshell is the idea of wanting to maximize pleasure while minimizing pain.Many of us look down on this idea, dismissing it as base and vulgar and, well, animalistic. Surely there is more behind our actions than the maximization of pleasure and the minimization of pain? But the more I consider it, the more I begin to think that perhaps we are all hedonistic in at least some way. Many of us want to claim that we work for "the greater good," that we want to better society, that we want to leave a better world for our children. But why do we do such things? Do we love humanity? If so, then we feel good when we feel like we are helping humanity, do we not? And "feeling good" is a fine definition for "pleasure," is it not? So is altruism simply hedonism in disguise, then? And most religious people (like myself, for example) are willing to abstain from momentary pleasures, and willing to endure momentary pains, in order to become better, but what it really boils down to is that we are striving for the eternal happiness that's promised in some sort of rewarding afterlife. I wonder, is this not simply long-term hedonism? And if we are all indeed hedonists, is there anything wrong with that? Discuss |
In hedonism, pain is fine, so long as it is outweighed by pleasure. We can also take the example of the hedonistic view of thievery. It's basically ok as long as the thief gains more pleasure from stealing than the pain inflicted on the person he takes it from. This is certainly frowned upon by virtually everyone. This is why consent and coercion are so key to my philosophical tendencies. Furthermore, I would say that charity is an act of rational selfishness. It is not hedonism in disguise. Last edited by Xygonn; 11-12-2010 at 05:22 PM.. If I appear to be ignoring your posts, it's probably because you are on my ignore list.

Sure, hedonism is good using your definition. It's too simplistic though.
We are to varying degrees empathetic beings. So, I can derive pleasure or pain through others experiences. Empathy allows the ability to want pleasure for others and even show acts of altruism. The existence of hedonism does not destroy altruism. They both exist even while seemingly being at odds with each other. Give me absolute safety or give me death!
Hedonistic description does, to a high degree, dominate the field of psychological study. In the modern age, especially in western culture, it is generally supposed that people do what they do because they enjoy doing it, and, when talking about a civilized society, this might seem like a tolerable supposition. The psychological perspective, however, is complicated. I'll illustrate with a simple example. My job is not a source of pleasure, yet I continue to work it. If you were to follow the consequences of working my job, you could deduce that one inevitable result of this tendency is the regular receipt of a paycheck which, at the very least, provides the means by which I may sustain my health and general happiness (in the base way, such that the paycheck provides the means by which I may protect myself from various natural forms of discomfort such as rain and cold weather). These consequences, while necessary for the maintenance of a foundation for happiness, is not intrinsically a source of pleasure; that is to say that the elimination of displeasure, especially when that displeasure is of a sort that threatens the health of the body, cannot be described as necessarily pleasurable. Further, hedonism as a philosophical perspective posits that pleasure is the only true good. Ethical hedonism does not tolerate the suggestion that one might deviate from this truth to produce pleasure for others. The below anecdote illustrates the discrepancy between utilitarianism and hedonism. Note that this discrepancy is not always applicable. Joe has a gun. Nadine has recently cheated on Joe in a humiliating and embarrassing way. Her death would bring him great pleasure and satisfaction. Ethical hedonism, which argues that we should do that which brings us the greatest pleasure, would contend, though abrasively, that Joe should shoot and kill Nadine. This disturbing prescription conflicts in an obvious way with the more popular recommendation of utilitarianism: that Joe do nothing. The implications of Joe acting in a strictly hedonistic way are far-reaching and vulgar. The act, if allowed and recognized as good, would disrupt the possibility for a peaceful and safe civilization. Even barring sociopathic tendencies, this is true simply because sources of pleasure are idiosyncratic. Hedonism as an individual ethical guide provides no regulation of destructive behavior and stands in stark contrast to that which promotes the aggregate good. Of course, I understand what you're saying. It is generally supposed that we choose to behave in ways that promote the aggregate good so that, at least, there exists the chance that we might experience more frequent and more potent pleasures. I'm not convinced of the integrity of this claim, however. I know and have known people who could most accurately be described as sadists. I don't mean that in the demonizing sense. These people are generally are far from wicked, yet these people prefer the antithesis of pleasure to pleasure itself. Pain and discomfort drive them toward their definition of progress. Have you ever heard someone make the argument that they work better on a deadline? Time and time again to push a project back to a deadline, only to have a few heart attacks trying to do it all, start to finish, the night before it's due? I suspect, too, that if popular ideas of what pleasure is are discussed, it will be found that the sort of definition that could be applied to pleasure is entirely dissimilar to that of goodness. If I buy myself a new camera, it will certainly bring me pleasure. Is the act particularly good? I expect a great many people would draw a line there and say no, and that opinion contradicts the hedonist perspective. Last edited by Mixels; 11-15-2010 at 08:37 AM.. |

"Everything's Archie" was mostly repeats of segments from the original "Archie's Comedy Hour." The Comedy Hour, originally a one-hour show of all new material from 1969, had been sliced and diced so that it's individual segments could be shown in a 30-minute format. The music segments from "The Comedy Hour" were last seen on "Everything's Archie" in 1973. Those music segments were never seen again as they were not included in the 1976 syndication package, and are presumed forever lost as the film elements no longer exist in the Filmation library.
The opening theme animation for "Everything's Archie" was mostly the same as for "The Archie Show." A new theme song was produced that was very, very similar so that the lip movements appeared to be the same. However, instead of "Archie's here, Betty's here, Veronica too", the song now became "Here comes Archie, Uh Huh, Here Comes Betty, Veronica too". The Sabrina animation of her riding her broom around her name in the sky was also included in the opening theme animation since Sabrina skits, originally from "Comedy Hour" were also included in this show.
Ron Dante has reported that he did not perform the vocals for this opening theme, even though the voice is very similar to his. This show came out in 1973 and The Archies had disbanded as a group in 1972.
"Everything's Archie" was a very short-lived series, and was replaced by "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" which showed the Sabrina segments from "Archie's Comedy Hour."

+Eternity Warriors 2 takes smartphone and tablet gaming to another level with gorgeous graphics and rich content. The only downside is that you'll spend almost as much time waiting for the game to load as you will spend actually playing it. However, it's worth the wait to enjoy this deep, expansive dungeon crawler.
Eternity Warriors 2 takes its cues from popular dungeon crawlers like Diablo as it lets you take control of a powerful warrior, fighting your way through caves full of zombies. The levels get progressively more difficult as you get progressively stronger and use your spoils of victory to level up your character. While the formula is nothing new, this game stands out thanks to its stellar graphics. This game's detailed level rendering could pass for a 64-bit console without much problem. Eternity Warriors 2 has a cool weapons system that supports upgrades and leveling, as well. In addition to letting you save the game, locally, you'll like the option to sign in with your Google account to save your game and pick it up on another device. While the game's enemies aren't particularly challenging, there's enough of them to shake up the game and keep it exciting. On our device, the game took about three minutes to load at first, and then had to load for 30 seconds or so at the end of every level.
This game goes a long way on its beautiful graphics, but there is some fun to be had with it outside of those, as well. Eternity Warriors 2 feels like some of the classic SNES or early PC hack-and-slash games, which is a major compliment. It's a great nostalgic romp that doesn't overstay its welcome, even if the levels are a little repetitive.

Heidi Warmelink got in a little trouble in the top of the fifth but she got UM-Dearborn to ground out with the bases loaded to keep the Wolves off the scoreboard. Ashley Niedermayer led off the bottom of the fifth with a double and scored on a Rachel Bode single to end the game at 8-0.
The Golden Eagles put up three runs in the bottom of the first and three more in the bottom of the fifth inning of game 2 and went on to a 6-1 win. Haley Castillo singled and scored on a Lauren Pasciak double. Warmelink singled and moved Pasicak to third. Pasciak then scored on a sacrifice fly by Megan Oberst.

Cornerstone added three more in the bottom of the fifth to make it 6-1. Pasciak led off with a single and Warmelink hit a two run shot to make it 5-1. Megan Oberst stepped up to the plate and followed Warmelink with a back to back home run to give CU a 6-1 lead. Neither team scored after that inning. Cornerstone walked off with a five run victory. Rachel Nelson improved to 8-2 from the circle. Cornerstone improved to 21-3 overall and 5-1 in the WHAC.
Cornerstone will return to action next Wednesday when they travel over to Davenport for a double header beginning at 4:00 p.m.

CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois would have the strictest regulations for high-volume oil and gas drilling in the nation under a proposal introduced Thursday and drafted with help from industry and environmentalists — an unusual collaboration when it comes to a practice intensely scrutinized over claims it can cause pollution and health problems.
The Hydraulic Fracturing Regulatory Act would require oil and gas companies to test water before, during and after drilling, and hold them liable if contamination was found after drilling began. It also would require companies to disclose the chemicals used in the process and control air pollution, as well as provide for public hearings and allow residents to sue if they believed they had been harmed.
Such provisions are uncommon in states where hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," happens, and Illinois would be the first to require so many, environmental and industry officials said.
"This is a situation where Illinois really is leading the way," said Ann Alexander, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council's Midwest program, who participated in negotiations. "We hope we are setting a floor for others to be able to build on (because) there is very much a gold rush mentality."
Allen Grosboll, co-legislative director at the Environmental Law and Policy Center, said it's likely the measure will pass the Legislature because of the unusual negotiations between industry, environmentalists, lawmakers, regulatory agencies and Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
"One of the more stunning aspects of this is legislation is that (lawmakers) invited the environmental community and industry to the table and, in more than five months of negotiations (produced) what I think is the most comprehensive fracking bill in country," Grosboll said.
Fracking uses a high-pressure mixture of water, sand or gravel and chemicals to crack and hold open thick rock formations, releasing trapped oil and gas. Combined with horizontal drilling, it allows access to formerly out-of-reach deposits. The industry — which is eyeing the New Albany Shale formation in southern Illinois — insists the method is safe and could create thousands of jobs.
Critics are urging lawmakers instead to support a 2-year moratorium on the practice to study scientific evidence surrounding contamination and potential health effects, as well as the impact on water supplies.

US and Australian Olympic teams get lost
Jenny Booth
Updated 35 minutes ago
Two Olympic buses got lost this morning and spent more than three hours transferring jetlagged US and Australian athletes from Heathrow to the Olympic Village in east London. Commuters complained that the new M4 Olympics lane caused extra congestion, and it emerged that nine police forces have been called in at the last minute in addition to the 3,500 military staff recruited to supplement Games security, as the London Games suffered a few teething troubles in the run up to the opening ceremony on July 27. Kerron Clement, a US track athlete who won the 400 metres hurdles world title in 2007 and 2009 and is the defending Olympic silver medallist, tweeted that the US bus took a four-hour detour. "Um, so we've been lost on the road for 4hrs. Not a good first impression London," the 26-year-old tweeted. "Athletes are sleepy, hungry and need to pee. Coul

IMF slashes growth forecast for Britain
Britain's economy will grow at a fraction of the pace predicted just three months ago as the euro crisis acts as a drag on the country's recovery, according to the International Monetary Fund. The UK's gross domestic product will rise by 0.2 per cent in 2012, compared with a prediction of 0.8 per cent given in April, the Fund said in an update to its World Economic Outlook. Growth will accelerate to 1.4 per cent in 2013, but that is far less brisk than the previously predicted 2 per cent expansion. The downgrade was sharper than for other major advanced nations, according to the IMF, which as a group will expand by 1.4 per cent in 2012 and 1.9 per cent in 2013. It compares with a 0.8 per cent growth prediction for 2012 from the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Treasury's independent forecasting body. The predictions reflect the worsening perfor
Population up 7 per cent in a decade
The population of England and Wales has boomed by seven per cent over the last 10 years — the largest growth in numbers seen in any period since records began. Figures published by the Office of National Statistics said there were 56.1 million people living in England and Wales on the day of Census 2011, an increase of 3.7 million since 2001 when there were 52.4 million people. When figures from Scotland are published later this year, the overall UK population is expected to reach 63.1m. Every region of England and Wales saw population growth, with London having the greatest increase of 85,000, or 12 per cent. The Capital now has a population of more than eight million. The ONS said more than half of the population growth was driven by migration and 45 per cent resulted from the number of births over deaths. The figures mean that that England is now

Need help/advice about what to do withy DD
Not sure if this belongs here, but here it is (warning: this could get long):
I'm getting very worried about my DD who is 10. She has zero self confidence and is an extreme perfectionist, and I'm beginning to worry about her future. She has always been this way. When she was 2, she would do something (something completely ordinary and mundane like sit down on the floor) then repeatedly ask "did I do it?" and no matter what I answered she would throw a fit. We eventually took her o a therapist who diagnosed her as having a sensory processing disorder. We did OT as long as we could afford it, but had to quit after a few months. Things did not get better. We took her to a psychiatrist who diagnosed her as having general anxiety, put her on meds and recommended another counselor. Meds helped a little, the counselor was terrible, so we tried another one who was even worse then the first! So we gave up on the counselor idea. All the while, she was struggling with school. She would have outbursts, run out of the classroom, refuse to participate, etc. Kindergarten was nightmare. First grade wasn't much better. By second grade, she was refusing to do most work and ended up spending lunches and recesses in the principle's office in order to catch up. That is when I pulled the plug and decided to try homeschooling her. Homeschooling has been rough. I can force her to do her work, but I have to sit next to her all day long to make sure she does it. I can't get anything else done during the day (I also have 3 other children that need looking after). She sabotages work that I know she is capable of doing and puts an absolute minimum effort into any given task. She refuses to write, and it's not physical handwriting that is the issue. She won't type or dictate to me either. If she thinks she can't do something perfectly the first time, she won't even try. She can't brush her own teeth because she thinks she doesn't do a good enough job, she refuses to tie her own shoes, and she won't bathe herself (same reason as teeth brushing). She can't even put on her own coat most of the time! It's like having a giant toddler! I'm at my wits end. I love her more than life itself and I keep asking myself what I did to make her this way. Has anyone else had a child like this? Do we need to keep trying therapists until we find someone she clicks with? What can I do to help her? I'm terrified she will grow up feeling worthless and incompetent and try to hurt herself (although she has never expressed any feelings like that to me). Advertisement |

I would look for an actual psychologist as opposed to just a "therapist", or a psychiatrist (who are actual doctors trained in medication not therapy). If she was in school I would recommend an evaluation. In our district children can get services for psychological issues, and she could maybe get OT too. I hope things turn around for you!!
Re: Need help/advice about what to do withy DD
I'm just so frustrated because she is so smart (in addition to her IEP she also qualified for the gifted program) but she refuses or is otherwise unable to apply herself. It seems like nothing we do helps. I was hoping someone would know something we can try that we haven't thought of. Any book recommendations for us as parents would be much appreciated, too! |

And it's obviously too late, but a teacher/school refusing to follow an IEP is violating federal law. They could be sued. An IEP is a legal document that must be adhered to. The school doesn't get a choice. |

Bright not broken is a great book. It is more geared towards intelligent kids that struggle with autism but anxiety plays a part with those so I think it would be helpful

Re: Need help/advice about what to do withy DD
My 11 year old DS sounds much like your DD. He is extremely anxious and rigid, he gives ups instantly if things get hard. He has zero frustration tolerance. He also has terrible sensory issues and wicked anxiety, including separation anxiety and social phobia. School has been a nightmare for us too. Once he's actually there, he's ok, but his anxiety leads to tantrums and resistance/oppositional behavior before school, and usually he'd have a meltdown upon returning home when the tiniest thing would be wrong or his schedule altered. Yet our two attempts to homeschool have not worked either. He won't "let" me teach him anything. At school he is reported as bright and gets good grades, but when I try to talk to him about anything he doesn't "get it" and seems to have zero interest in just about anything academic, even stuff that I would think he'd find fun, like games and such. If I let him take the lead, he just spends hours reading or playing Legos. Which is fine, but he can't do that all day. He needs to have some basic skills.
We just re-enrolled him in school after homeschooling since Sept. He was doing ok but on the 4th day he woke late and he thought it was Friday, a short day, and when I corrected him that it was Thursday and "remember, they don't do short days here" he WIGGED OUT and refused to go. Over the past two days he will barely eat. He just wants to read or watch movies. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. We tried meds too for him but they either don't work or have terrible side effects. Anti-anxiety meds made him appear in a stupor, even the lowest dose. SSRI med helped a bit with his "scary thoughts" but didn't touch his overall anxiety. We even tried ADHD meds and that provoked such agitation that he became self-injurious (another issue he has when he tantrums) He was tested for autism at age 9 and again at age 11. The results are mixed. Though his first evaluator said he was likely on the spectrum, his ADOS at age 11 did not qualify him for a diagnosis, though he was close. The school therapist said that extreme anxiety can sometimes mimic autism. There are times I feel he definitely has ASD, and other times, I don't know. His two older brothers are on the spectrum (Aspergers) so you'd think its a no-brainer, but so far we have not had a definitive diagnosis. We too have found that counseling doesn't do much to help. My family pressures me to take him to more doctors, more therapists, and I admit, I am at my wits end...but I don't think anyone really can help me. We went thru the ringer with the oldest and all we got was more labels, more meds, and more bills. Still the same kid with the same behaviors. If they did go away, it was always temporary and then he'd circle around again and it would all start over. There are no easy answers, and some of these kids just don't fit into a neat diagnosis/treatment. People who don't live with it just don't understand. My heart goes out to you. You aren't alone.

Re: Need help/advice about what to do withy DD
You are so very welcome. I am glad it helped, I didn't want to go into a long sob story...but I know that for me reading other people's experiences always helps me feel better. Feeling alone is one of the worse feelings. Unfortunately, too many of us are dealing with this nowadays. I think we often suffer silently.
You asked for some advice, so I have been thinking about that since my last post. I would probably do the ADOS with her just to clarify her diagnosis. If she is on the spectrum, you could read up on it and though it doesn't change anything, it can help you understand and not take it personally when she has an off day. I too just pour over everything detail trying to figure out what went wrong and where. Was it all those antibiotics as a child? Is it dairy? Too much TV? Pollution? Our modern lifestyle? On my worst days, I totally blame myself. On my better days, I try to move past that to radical acceptance of my child, exactly as he is. Not easy. But we usually do better on those days.

Summer Tomato Lentils
This Recipe Is:
1 cup
lemon, zest and juice
1/3 cup
goat cheese
2 large
shallots, peeled and sliced thin
3 cups
baby tomatoes
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1/3 cup
finely chopped chives
1/3 cup
chopped basil
1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon
garlic salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Cut tomatoes in half. On the baking pan, toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil and garlic salt. Turn the tomatoes so they are cut side up, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Rinse and drain the lentils, pick out any scrappy pieces. In a medium pot, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, add the lentils, turn down the heat to medium, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Test the beans for doneness; the liquid should be absorbed, add more if they are not soft to your taste. Put them in a large bowl and crumble in the goat cheese so it melts in the warmth. Add the lemon zest and juice, and gently fold to coat.
- While lentils are cooling, make the crispy shallots. In a small saucepan, heat up the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on medium. Add the sliced shallots and cook about 15 minutes, until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Gently fold the Dijon mustard and fresh black pepper into the goat cheesy lentils. Add the basil, roasted tomatoes, and crispy shallots. Add salt to your preference.
- Serve in a pita or butter lettuce wraps!
I cook my lentils in unsalted water, as salt is said to toughen the beans -- they will taste most fresh if the seasoning is added at the end.

I just dug up a small bed of tulips, daffs and grape hyacinth. There weren't a whole lot of mature bulbs, but I've got LOADS of little pea/marble sized ones.
So my question is this: what do I do with them? Do I find a place to plant them now? Keep them until fall? If so, how do I store them until fall? Please and thank you!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is difficult for the gardener to throw away these small bulbs, but for most of us it is the thing to do. The time and energy spent growing these on to a size where they may some day bloom is a waste of your time better spent elsewhere in the garden. Al |
:( Well, what about the mature bulbs? Plant now or in the fall? If fall, how should I store them until then? Thanks! |
Bulbs large enough to bloom should be stored(after being sure surfaces are dry)in a cool place with good air circulation. I hang mine in mesh bags in the basement, an area we would use as a wine cellar if we had any wine to store! Al |

It took one more game than head coach Trish Flowers wanted, but the Cleveland Lady Raiders reached down and held off Rhea County 3-1 in volleyball action inside the CHS volleyball gym Monday night.
The Lady Raiders won the first two games by scores of 25-20, and 25-16 before dropping game three 25-22. Cleveland came back in game four to close out the match with a 25-17 win.
"I thought they came out and played really well the first set, but they laid down in the third. There are just a couple of things that we have to tweak in order to beat even better teams," said Flowers.
"It adds a win to our record and I'm proud of the way some of our players played. We served well, and we've got to continue to serve well."
Freshman outside hitter Emma Flowers had a big night for the Lady Raiders (9-3, 1-1 District 5-AAA) coming through with back-to-back-to-back-to-back kills to open the first game. Flowers ended the night with 24 kills.
Kellee Geren made it 5-0 with the first ace of the night. A kill by Geren and two aces by Kayla Lee put Cleveland on top 9-2. Addie Strode and Allison Botts got into the action with kills that put the Lady Raiders out front 15-6.
Kayla Lee had a busy night with 37 digs to lead the Lady Raiders. Lauren Lee finished with 15 digs, Geren and Botts each booked 14 and Flowers ended the night with 10.
Lauren Lee led the team in aces with 4, followed by Botts with three and Kayla Lee and Geren with two apiece.
The Lady Eagles fired back with six straight points before Botts stepped in with back-to-back aces that gave Cleveland a 20-13 lead. Another Flowers kill made it 27-17. Rhea battled for three more points before Cleveland closed out the win.
The Lady Raiders were forced to come back in the second game after falling behind 8-2. Sophomore Lauren Lee stepped to the line and served up 13 points including four aces and kills by Strode and Flowers that put Cleveland out front 17-8. Amber Morman put the finishing touch on the win with a kill to make it 26-16.
The Lady Raiders trailed the better part of game three and were never able to make up ground on the Lady Eagles, falling behind 14-9 and 21-14. Cleveland managed to close the gap late but fell 25-22.
The final game of the night saw the Lady Raiders jump to a quick lead. Cleveland built a 22-10 lead on the strength of a Geren ace combined with kills by Flowers, Morman and Morgan Moffett. The Morgan-Moffett combination came through with blocks to put Cleveland out front 24-11 before Rhea County rallied back with six consecutive points before the Lady Raiders put the game away with a Moffett kill.
"They were just keeping up (in game three). Against Girls Preparatory School last weekend we were down 14-7 in the deciding set and we came back and beat GPS. It's happened twice this season where we've showed fight and heart. That's something I feel we have always struggled with as a team. I feel we have more of it this year," said Flowers.
"I hate to encourage arrogance, but I really feel we are going to have to step up and show a little more fight on the court, and believe we can do it. We don't have to be arrogant, but we have to have swagger," explained Flowers.
The Lady Raiders get back into their district schedule tonight with a road trip to Soddy-Daisy. The first serve is set for 7 p.m.

Ddp help!!!!!
Since most of the meals are given in huge quantities, I was wondering if it's possible to use my snack credit for breakfast? Please help. . .new to the dining plan
Yes. You could do nothing but eat snacks all day if you wanted to. You are given a set amount of credits (meal & snack) and you can use those credits at anytime that you choose up until midnight of the day you check out.
Thank you:-)
We used our snack credit in mk for breakfast. Though it's changed a little but the hugh cinnamon roll is a snack credit.
At our resort, POFQ - we could beignets, biscuits and gravy for breakfast with our snack credit.
The ham and cheese croissants in France are awesome as a snack credit too!!

Al Reyes Rumors
Odds and Ends: Aurilia, Vazquez, Al Reyes, Varitek
Some random links for today…
- McCovey Chronicles thinks Rich Aurilia would be a nice fit for the '09 Giants.
- Tyler Kepner of the New York Times says the Yankees never really had to give up on Javier Vazquez.
- The Mets released Al Reyes; he never pitched for them. Reyes had nine saves for the Rays in April of last year, but it's mostly been downhill since then.
- Jason Varitek does not want to talk about 2009. It's hard to see the Red Sox offering him more than one year.
- RotoAuthority discusses the fantasy baseball code of honor.

Week in Review: 8/17 – 8/23
Another week in the books, and we keep seeing big names moved after the July 31 non-waiver deadline. Let's look back on the past week:
- The Dodgers acquired Greg Maddux from the Padres for two minor league players to be named later. Nice acquisition to bolster their rotation, and does anyone want to place bets on how excited 20-year-old Clayton Kershaw is to get tips from Maddux every day for the rest of the season?
- The Pirates are exploring the idea of trading Jack Wilson this offseason more and more. Given the slim free agent market for shortstops, he would likely gather a lot of interest.
- Nate Robertson's struggles this season have lost him his spot in the rotation, but have they also lost him a spot with the Tigers after 2008?
- Orlando Hernandez needs surgery on his foot, and that could likely mean that El Duque's career would be over.
- Lots of speculation lately about where Ben Sheets is going to land after 2008. And while there's no way to tell right now, Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman have stepped up and said they would like the Astros front office to go out and sign him in the offseason.
- A lot of minor-league deals signed this week: Kip Wells signed with Kansas City, the Mets added Al Reyes, the Astros signed Jose Castillo, the Red Sox signed Dave Ross, and the Braves took a flyer on Rodrigo Lopez following his Tommy John surgery last year. The Jays made a trade to acquire Jose Bautista for a PTBNL as well.
- The Rangers would like Milton Bradley back in 2009, and the feeling is mutual, though negotiations will wait until after the season. Similarly, Frank Thomas would prefer to stay with the A's in 2009.
- Eric Gagne, David Riske, and David Weathers all cleared waivers this week. The first two make sense to me, but given Weathers' success this year, his affordable contract for the rest of the season, and all of the teams desperately seeking bullpen help, it seems strange that no one would place a claim on him. Here's an updated list of all the players who have been confirmed to have cleared waivers this year.

Odds And Ends: Lane, Taveras, Cubs, Reyes
Round three from the MLBiverse…
- The Red Sox have signed former Astros outfielder Jason Lane to a minor league deal.
- Troy E. Renck says that Willy Taveras could be moved this winter and speculates that the Nationals might be a good fit if Lastings Milledge is moved from center field.
- Paul Sullivan says the Cubs are not likely to make many changes this winter with only four key free agents. One of those free agents, Ryan Dempster, said that he would prefer to stay with the Cubs.
- Omar Minaya says Al Reyes turned down a major league job with another organization to take the minor league deal with the Mets.

Mets Sign Al Reyes
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets have signed reliever Al Reyes. He's earning $2.3MM this year, most of which the Rays are covering.
Reyes, 38, posted a 4.37 ERA in 22.2 innings this year along with decent peripheral stats. Reyes missed time this year with biceps tendinitis and a shoulder impingement, and also made the news for an April bar fight. Solid signing for the Mets; it's not hard to envision Reyes picking up a few saves.
Odds and Ends: Jeter, Al Reyes, Schilling, Dunn
Let's kick things off with a link roundup.
- River Ave. Blues wonders about Derek Jeter's future with the Yankees. The Yanks don't have to deal with it until after the 2010 season.
- Reliever Al Reyes is now a free agent. The 38 year-old still has a bit left in the tank.
- Baseball America's Jim Callis lists the draft's best coups.
- Curt Schilling is leaning toward retirement. If he does come back, here is a reminder of the 12 teams he was willing to play for last year aside from the Red Sox: Indians, Tigers, Angels, Mets, Phillies, Braves, Dodgers, Padres, D'Backs, Cubs, Cardinals, and Brewers.
- Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post says the Rockies need to keep Todd Helton.
- Ken Rosenthal says the Dodgers' failure to block the D'Backs' waiver claim on Adam Dunn was a mistake.
- Sam Mellinger explains that Eric Hosmer was smart to hold out for $6MM.

Week In Review: 8/3 – 8/9
Here's a quick look back at some of the bigger stories on MLBTR over the past week:
- D'Backs ace Dan Haren signed a very affordable extension with the team, which would keep him in Arizona through 2012 with an option for 2013. Great deal for the D'Backs and their fans.
- Brian Giles was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox, which is now believed to have been an effort to block the Rays from acquiring him. Giles blocked the trade to Boston with his no-trade clause.
- The Rockies acquired Livan Hernandez from the Twins. Minnesota won't receive a player in return, but unloads Hernandez's remaining $1.5MM on his contract, as well as his 5.48 ERA. Seems fine to me.
- Fifteen teams watched a throwing session from Freddy Garcia. Here are a few reactions.
- Relievers on the move: The Cubs DFA'ed Scott Eyre, and traded him to the Phillies the next day. The Rays acquired Chad Bradford from the Orioles, and DFA'ed Al Reyes in order to make room for him. In a rare inter-division trade, the Royals traded Horacio Ramirez to the White Sox. Huston Street was claimed, but is staying put.
- Position players on the move: Felipe Lopez signed with the Cardinals, the Mariners released Jose Vidro, and the Marlins signed Paul Lo Duca in addition to claiming Brad Ausmus off waivers. No word on whether or not a deal will be worked out for Ausmus yet.
- A few glimpses into 2009? Rafael Furcal hopes to re-sign with the Dodgers. Bobby Abreu hopes to be wearing Yankee pinstripes again, and the Nationals hope Willie Harris is a part of the organization again as well.
- Tim made a list of waiver trade candidates for both the American League and National League and compiled a list of players who were known to have cleared waivers in 2007. Remember, these are just players who would likely clear waivers, whether because of their talent level or contractual status. Teams often place big-name players on waivers that they have no intention of trading.

Rays Designate Reyes
Last night, veteran Al Reyes was DFA'd by the Tampa Bay Rays to make room for Chad Bradford. Reyes is 38 and has a 4.37 ERA (actually a touch better than last year's mark of 4.90). He's had two stints on the DL this year, and has had a 5.14 ERA in 8 games since last being activated. Reyes said he needs to get the ball more than "every four or five days" to stay consistent, but also said he wasn't surprised by the move. He's making 2.3MM this year.
The Rays have 10 days to make a move. I'm on the fence here; on the one hand, Reyes is 38 and has shoulder problems and a terrible ERA for a reliever. On the other, he had 26 saves last year, and with the way that saves are currently valued in baseball, I feel like some team is bound to roll the dice with him.
Topkin On Percival
I recently named the St. Petersburg Times' Marc Topkin as Rumor Royalty for the Rays. He was kind enough to answer a few questions for the site.
MLBTR: Who gets more saves in '08, Troy Percival or Al Reyes? Is there any chance the Rays shop Reyes now?
Topkin: Percival will get most of the save opportunities, probably all except when he needs a day off. Reyes could be traded, but I think Wheeler is more likely to go. (Unless one of them learns how to pitch lefthanded!)

Crawford To Cubs Rumor Shot Down
ESPN 1000's Bruce Levine suggested yesterday that the Cubs were preparing an offer for Carl Crawford. However, team officials told Roger Mooney today that there's nothing brewing. Apparently the rumor was Rich Hill, Eric Patterson, and a prospect for Crawford. That doesn't seem sufficient anyway. There was even some talk of a three-way deal involving the Brewers and Yankees, which was from Gotham Baseball. According to Mooney, none of it is for real. You be the judge.
In other Rays news, they picked up Al Reyes' $2.3MM option and passed on Greg Norton at $1MM. No surprises there. UPDATE: Reyes actually has a $1MM base salary plus $1.3MM in incentives.

Mariners Discussing Jeff Clement For Al Reyes?
It was established yesterday that the Mariners are after Devil Rays reliever Al Reyes, desiring a young catcher in return. Naturally, we raised Jeff Clement's name.
Today U.S.S. Mariner comments on that idea, saying that Clement for Reyes has legs. Needless to say they don't like the idea. I agree – it would be a steal for the Rays. As noted yesterday, Reyes hasn't been effective since mid-June.

Using test tube studies, the scientists attached gold nanoparticles to a group of beta amyloid fibrils, incubated the resulting mixture for several days and then exposed it to weak microwave fields for several hours. The energy levels of the fields were six times smaller than that of conventional cell phones and unlikely to harm healthy cells, the researchers say. The fibrils subsequently dissolved and remained dissolved for at least one week after being irradiated, indicating that the treatment was not only effective at breaking up the fibrils but also resulted in a lower tendency of the proteins to re-aggregate, according to the researchers.
The same approach also holds promise for treating other neurodegenerative diseases that involve protein aggregation, including Parkinson's and Huntington's, says study leader Marcelo J. Kogan, of the University of Chile in Santiago. He says that the approach is similar to that of another experimental technique that uses metallic nanoparticles to label and destroy cancer cells. Animal studies are planned, Kogan says.
There's currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease and no one is sure of its exact causes. The disease affects an estimated 4.5 million people in the United States, according to the National Institute on Aging. That figure is expected to rise dramatically as the population ages, experts predict.
