New Calgary Airport spotting hotel being built
Posted by Matt Falcus | Posted in Airport News, Canada, North America, Spotting Hotels, Spotting News | Posted on 04-08-2014
A new four star hotel is being constructed at Calgary International Airport which promises excellent views of the action.
The 318-bedroom Delta Hotel is close to completion and is linked directly to the airport's terminal. Rooms will face either the aircraft ramp or the curbside – no prizes for guessing which you readers will be interested in!
The hotel was conceived by the airport as an extra source of revenue, and a part of its $1.4 billion terminal expansion. However, it will be operated by Delta Hotels and Resorts. It is the first such example for Delta, who operate 41 other hotel properties.
Calgary Airport recently opened a second runway. It handled just over 14 million passengers in 2013, with Air Canada, Air Transat and WestJet as the principal operators.
The new Calgary Airport Hotel will open in conjunction with the new terminal development in 2015.

5 Defensive Stock Short-Squeeze Plays
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Is it time to get defensive with your portfolio? If trailing returns for the last quarter are any indication, it is.
That's because the last few months have brought outsized returns from traditionally defensive industries -- groups such as health care, utilities and consumer staples.
There are a few reasons why that's the case right now. Most significantly, inflationary headwinds and concerns over the health of the economy are making investors skittish about risk assets -- instead, they're flocking to "safer" income generation instruments. It's that behavior that's creating a potential short-squeeze opportunity right now.
Related: 30 Large-Cap Stocks to Beat the S&P 500
A short squeeze is the buying frenzy that ensues when a heavily shorted stock starts to look attractive again to investors, causing short-sellers to cover their positions -- and share price to skyrocket. One of the best indicators of just how high a short-squeezed stock could go is the short interest ratio, which divides shares short by average daily trading volume in order to get a ballpark estimate of the number of days it would take for short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the short ratio, the higher the potential profits when the shorts get squeezed. Naturally, these plays aren't without their blemishes -- there's a reason that these stocks are being heavily shorted. But for investors looking for exposure to a speculative play with a beefier risk/reward tradeoff, these could be powerful upside plays for the coming year. There are plenty of reasons why stocks in defensive industries may be shorted -- but because they're fundamentally driven investment stories, mispricing and overzealous shorts often shake themselves out quickly. That's why we're looking at five defensive short squeeze opportunities this week. With that, here's a look at defensive stocks with short squeeze potential this summer.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

unable to join champion select
This started yesterday (12/11/12) at approximately 10:30pm est
my friend and I wanted to play a bots game to get our win of the day, after the match was made and i had selected approve to join the champion select lobby, my UI went black except for the bottom set of options (chat, friends online, chat options). We decided it didn't really matter and was probably bugged so, since it was a bots game, i was content with a random champion being selected for me after the timer had worn down. From my friend's perspective it showed that i had not joined the lobby and a yellow triangle with an explanation point filled my location in the lobby. after the timer expired the free champion kassadin had been selected for me and his champion portrait appeared behind the yellow exclamation point triangle. when the second game timer finished up to start the game the lobby was closed and the "this player has disconnected form the lobby" message appeared in the notifications of my friend. My client had not exited and I had not dodged the game. we tried with a custom game but when the host started the game, all the other players joined champion select and I was stuck in the lobby where players joined the game. The same issue with the bots game was reciprocated when i attempted all the pvp formats. I decided I'd wait it out thinking there was some sort of server issue that somehow was preventing me from doing anything, which didn't make much sense since my friend and I were using the same wireless connection in the same room. So I waited until today(about 20 mins ago) to try again. Same issue Note: the timer that should have been added for dodging a game never occurred and i was able to consistently rejoin lobbies as if I hadn't dodged the game. Hopefully that's enough detail. Let me know if I can help in any other way to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else (I haven't been able to find a similar post on the bug reports forum) ***UPDATE*** I ran the repair program available in the patch/news interface prior to log-in, the problem persists. ***UPDATE 2*** i can spectate games but i still can't get into champion select. spectating works as normal |
this does mean I cannot play any games and I'm a little peeved that there isn't a fix for this, or even any notice. I've tried everything short of re-installing the game so I'm gunna need a little help. I'm going to try to see if it's something with my computer or what by trying to join a game on the PBE (once it finishes patching) which I have an active account for. updates to follow
2 Attachment(s)
well the PBE server went down for maintenance right as my computer finished patching... I'm just going to try a complete re-install of the game but before i do... this is the latest log in my logs folder, there's quite a few errors, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem but it would be great if someone could help me in anyway.
I've also included the second most recent log, I personally can't see any correlation between the two, but I don't read code too well... |
So after the reinstall the game has been working again. thanks for the "help", your repair tool doesn't work

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (6/3/14) — Hopkins County Schools graduated 456 total students from Madisonville North Hopkins High School, Hopkins County Central High School and Hopkins County Academy during last week's commencement exercises.
The 54 students from Hopkins County Academy represent a record high, according to Assistant Superintendent Deanna Ashby.
"We're excited about the initiatives going on there to deter the dropout rate," Ashby said.
Many MNHHS and HCCHS graduates will be going on to college and received funding to that end.
"Combined between both high schools, we had over $2.5 million awarded in scholarships," Ashby said. "Our students have worked really hard, and we're proud of them."
Also on the Board's agenda, was the formation of bass fishing teams at MNHHS and HCCHS.
According to Ashby, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association has sanctioned competitive bass fishing for high schools in the state. Both MNHHS and HCCHS have decided to participate.
The board approved organizing the teams and hiring coaches.
The board will meet again at 12 p.m. Wednesday in a special called session to hear Superintendent Linda Zellich's presentation of the Capstone report.Ami Clayton

Arizona Cardinals
Analyst: Have little faith in Sanchez, but less in Lindley
Outside of two first-half touchdown drives and a 312-yard passing day, quarterback Ryan Lindley looked every bit the part of a rookie making his NFL debut in the Arizona Cardinals' 31-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams last Sunday.
Not only did he throw four interceptions on the day, Lindley of course also became a footnote, as cornerback Janoris Jenkins became the first rookie in Rams history to return two interceptions back for touchdowns in the same game.
Combine that with the fact he completed less than 60-percent of his passes and failed to connect with Larry Fitzgerald after the first quarter, and it's safe to say things cannot get much worse for Lindley over the final five weeks of the season.
Nonetheless, it's important when evaluating the 23-year-old to remember that he's less than a year removed from San Diego State, and that rarely are sixth-round selections anything more than projects during their rookie season.
While Kurt Warner and Ron Jaworksi seemed to understand that, ESPN.com's Ross Tucker apparently didn't feel the same way.
Speaking on the Football Today Podcast, Tucker was asked to address the Cardinals' game Sunday against the New York Jets and wasted little time going after Arizona's rookie quarterback.
"I don't have a ton of faith in Mark Sanchez, but I have less in Ryan Lindley," Tucker said. "Watching that guy play against the Rams, he threw some of the worst passes I've ever seen in the NFL.
"Those interceptions were just awful."
Lindley was not known for his accuracy coming out of college, and that will definitely be a point of emphasis over the final few weeks of the season. With that said, taking shots at a quarterback with 72 career attempts is a bit much.

We just received a Poulan pole saw from Northern Tool. I was very relieved to see that it has an adjustable carb, although the adjustment screws are not slotted. Instead they have very fine splines.
Searching ebay turned up a seller in Florida who has the splined screwdriver. We will wait until the screwdriver arrives before even starting the pole saw. That way it can be broken in on a nice slippery 32:1 oil mixture and a rich fuel setting for cool running and long engine life. To get to this point on my 026 saw, bought 11 years ago, and Echo string trimmer, bought 8 years ago, I had to search out and install adjustable carbs to replace the fixed jet units. Those 2 tools are thriving on the 32:1 oil premix and slightly rich running carbs. After a lot of very hard work the pistons still look perfect and the compression seems just like new. |
Follow-Up Postings:
R&L: To the contrary with todays modern oil technolgy 32:1 is a waste of money and can cause excessive carbon deposits and piston demon heat and ring blowby . I have not mixed anything richer than 40:1 in over 15 yrs. , which was a Outboard motor during breakin . After which 50:1 was routine . I believe the Stihl if mid 90's vintage spec'd 50:1 and I know that the Echo recommends 50:1 also . But each to his own I guess lol . |

Ewalk, I am neither a metalurgist, lubrication engineer nor chemical engineer. However, I have decades of experience in racing off road motorcycles in organized competition on the Mojave desert of California. While participating in that sport, I read everything I could get my hands on concerning the mechanical aspects of the sport. One of the articles I read was based on actual dynomometer testing of 2-stroke race bike engines with oil mixed at different pre mix ratios. Because increasing the quantity of oil in the premix increases the viscosity of the premix, carburetor metering changes to compensate for the increased fuel viscosity was part of the test to maintain a constant air-fuel ratio. I know this is hard to believe, I also found it surprising, but a 20:1 premix ratio was most powerful in the tests. The testers theorized that increased lubricity decreased power losses to friction. After publication of that article, I ran my own race bikes and my sons' race bikes at 20:1. Instead of the expensive "designer" oils sold for high prices in small containers, I used garden variety Castrol 2-stroke oil that I bought at case quantity discounts and actually spent less money on premix oil than my friends who were using the expensive "designer" oils are 50:1 to 60:1 ratios. As for carbon deposits, 2-stroke design has evolved to include complex "power valves" that are restrictions placed in the exhaust ports to vary the size of the exhaust port depending on engine RPM. That exhaust port restriction is where I expected carbon depostis to form quickly. To my pleasant surprise, the Castrol is so clean burning even at 20:1 that only tiny amounts of carbon formed there as well as on piston crowns and in ring lands. There was almost nothing to clean away when I opened things up for maintenance. The ultimate bonus of this is that when I would tear an engine down after a season of racing, I would find cylinder walls, piston skirts, rings, rod bearings and crankshaft bearings wet with oil. The hone marks were still clearly visible in the cylinder walls after a year of racing abuse! From that I was sold on the concept of abundant lubrication for increased engine longevity. Just to have something to do I would replace the piston rings. It is my understanding that manufacturers of 2-stroke equipment are under a lot of pressure from emissions bureaucrats to recommend very lean premix oil ratios and to build in very lean carburetor mixtures. My experience with my Stihl 026 saw and Echo string trimmer is that they run vastly better (easier starting, more power, higher RPMs)with adjustable carburetors tuned slightly on the rich side of optimum than they did with the lean factory fixed jet carburetors. I have worn out many chains and a few bars on my 026 in the past 11 years but when I pull the muffler to clean the spark screen and look in the exhaust port at the cylinder and piston those items look perfect. The exterior of the saw shows it's done a lot of hard work however. |

Garrick's Villa
Garrick's Villa is a Grade I country house located on Hampton Court Road in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The structure was originally constructed in the Middle Ages. The country house was initially listed as Hampton House prior to its acquisition by David Garrick in 1754. Numerous alterations were made to it during Garrick's tenure by Robert Adam,[1] [2] including the portico, the building of an orangery and the construction of a tunnel under the road to connect with his riverside lawn. A wing on the left of the house was added in 1864.[1]
During the early part of the 20th century the house was the family home of Sir (James) Clifton Robinson (1848-1910), Managing Director and Chief Engineer of London United Tramways, and a single private tram track leading into the grounds was constructed.[3] The house was converted into flats in 1922.[1] In 1969, the building became the centre of a neo-Georgian estate.[1] This incorporated Garrick's Orangery, much altered, with an upper floor that had been added in 1922.[1]
On 25 October 2008, during building works on the house, a fire broke out and was brought under control five hours later.[4]

The Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail is recognized as a nationally significant resource relevant to the westward expansion of the United States. Although administered by the National Park Service, it is not like a typical national park with borders. Rather, it is an historic "road" or route used by hundreds of thousands of emigrants between the mid 1840s and early 1870s as they made their way west to begin a new life or to seek their fortune.

The day was absolutely scrumptious here. I'm hoping that is a good omen for the rest of this summer of '06. Today was in the high 70's with a light breeze, mostly sunny. I don't think the day could have been more pleasant. Things are starting to pop here working up to the mid July crescendo of color in the borders. I just love this time of the year when most of the heavy mulching is done and most of the containers are all planted and sited in the gardens. Now is time to start staking the tall stuff and grooming the containers. I love fussing around with the containers 'polishing' things up so all looks tidy.
I didn't know abutilon made such an incredible show of flowers. This is Abutilon 'Bella'hybrid. (So do you have any of these Eden?) I'm so pleased that the Sedona coleus and the Plectranthus 'Vanilla Twist' are making a comeback after the chew fest they put up with from the still unidentified insects.
So here is Doug's trellis covered as it should be.
This is shaping up to be one of my favorites from this year.
So this year I did three very large containers in red, white and blue. How fun is that?
Endless Summer is going to be blue this year. Yea! I'm loving this with the white astilbes.
This dwarf fuchsia 'Peggy' is absolutely blooming its heart out. What a darling.

This is the small obelisk where my 'Asao' clematis was blooming earlier.
And last but not the least. I'm loving this combination of nepeta and yarrow
Happy summer everyone!

AAAW Deanne, I like many things in this collection...Doug must be so proud...of both you and his own handiwork! Your shot of astilbe and Endless Summer is a delicate delight. The days of texture and foliage have given way to colour now...and all is beautiful! I love the lighting from dawn til dusk! |
Wow Deanne, every picture more beautiful than the one before it in this series. Once again you've outdone yourself with your containers and gardens too. Why oh why can't I get fuschias to bloom like yours? I do have one of the little bella abutilons in yellow, lol. What's the trailing plant in that first container? Thanks for posting these. I've really enjoyed looking at them and will come back to them again and again for inspiration. Eden |

Be still my heart... Deanne your garden is just breathtaking. The trellis looks like its been there for years its so full. Hey, I have that 3 color geranium. Funny but that was the one that I had such a hard time getting cuttings to take. I think I got 1 extra plant. I'll bet the propagation queen could get them to root. LOL It looks great in that container. Michelle |

Deanne - fantastic - I can't believe that Doug's trellis is newly installed & the plants were moved to that area -- amazing! Guess all that rain did wonders didnt it? I too am extremely fond of the Endless Summer & astilbe combo, you have such a great eye -- & I love the Campanula & Phlox as your artful eye has combined it! Truly everything looks wonderful & soooo "masterly" (new phrase for a master gardener????). Thanks for sharing. -Cindy |

Wow Deanne! I'm sorry I missed this this morning, but what a lovely afternoon treat! :-) I agree about your favorite pot! I love it too...so dramatic! That abutilon is lovely, as is the planting with it in it. I too can't get over how lush the trellis Doug made *just this year* is...wonderful and Doug is certainly a talented man. Well, everything is stunning Deanne and certainly belies (hey - good word, huh?) the crummy weather you have been having! I *love* that arch between the two beds and that kittie statue is just perfect! ;-) Boy sure have seen a lot of lovely sheds lately and *really* makes me feel guilty about mine...LOL! What a lovely enviroment you have made for Doug and yourself. I love the twilight pics too and can just imagine how wonderful it must be to sit out on your pation in the evening. Thanks for sharing it all Deanne! You are quite an inspiration. Ei |

Wow! Wow-oh wow-oh wow! (V. resorts to the thesaurus function of Word) Deanne, your garden is an absolute WINNER, a complete SMASH, a total TRIUMPH and SENSATION, not to mention an absolute KNOCKOUT! It could never be considered a FLOP(note this is an antonym). Okay, a bit of silliness but the photos are truly stunning! Thanks for taking to time to take these photos and to post them here for us to enjoy! (Not to mention the time that went into creating those gardens) V. |
Each one is a masterpiece! |

Hi Deanne! I came back to admire your pics again...they are just so lovely and inspirational! Are my eyes playing tricks on me or are there two "pictures" of dahlias in the shade area? :-) Did you paint them? Glad I came back to look again, there is always more to see and enjoy. I too love the astilbe with your hydrangea. Do you feed your hydrangea acid to get it blue? The dwarf fuchsia *is* amazing! You really have a way with combinations and I am always staring at your edgers...LOL! I'm *still* hoping you can come and give me some help! I just don't know *what* to do with the edges and cheated again this year and used annuals to help fill the empty spaces. Deanne, if you come you can save me years of wasting money on annuals! :-) Not trying to twist your arm or anything...LOL! Truly, everything is just wonderful Deanne and I'm sure I'll be back here to look over your lovely gardens again and again. Ei |
Beautiful Deanne! I'm heading out to work some more here. If I don't get (and keep) my nose to the grindstone, I'll never have anything but blech around here. Thanks for taking & sharing the pics. T. |
Hello, hello! Thanks so much for all the positive feedback everyone! I REALLY appreciate it. Eden, re fuchsias blooming well; I've found that if I push them and give them as much sun as they can take they bloom better. They will tell you when it is too much with burned flowers and leaves, although expect some burning when you first expose them to additional sun. Some of the varieties can take more than others. Some of the more popular hanger types like 'Swingtime' and 'Dark Eyes' will only take half day and need protection from the mid day sun but some of my uprights like 'Lena', and 'Beacon' can take quite a bit more than that. Then of course they need additional watering and food to deal with the additional growth. ~~ The trailing plant in the first container is a Coprosmia kirkii and is an interesting, variegated, trailing shrub from New Zealand. It is only hardy to zone 8 so I'll have to see what I can do to winter it over in the basement. Cindy, some of those plants on the trellis were already there. I had a smaller trellis there last year so the 'Carefree Delight' rose and the 'Proteus' clematis have been there two years. Drema those 'Manhattan' lilies opened today! V you crack me up. Eileen, yes, indeed, there are two prints of dahlia paintings in the shade area but no, I didn't paint them although every year I intend to do something for that area. I haven't yet made the time to do it. It seems I'm too busy propagating plants in the winter. LOL I found these cute little easels at Home Goods as well as the prints that are on sealed hardboard. They were pretty cheap so I don't mind them only lasting a season. OK I'm about ready to hit the sack. Thanks again all for taking the time to look at my pics. Deanne |
All I can say is 'WOW'!!!!!! :) Jerri |

OK I won't say gorgeous-I realize the word should be *glorious*. I am definitely getting Nora Leigh when I use my gift cert.-I decided that a while back but now I love that campanula too. Is the campanula a new plant or older? I have to say any of the campanulas I have are troopers and I love the clear color they display. Love the dahlia paintings(yours?)in with the hostas and the mini hostas in the rock crevice! Doug's trellis looks like it's been there forever and always covered with plants-amazing from when we saw it bare! I can't single out because I just like all teh selections you use. Thanks for posting these. ~B |
Oh my god! your gardens are fabulous! I love stone beds....yours are out of this world! The pictures just draw you in...and make you want to be there............ Like something out of a magazine......wow Haziemoon |
Fabu Fabu, to coin your appropo phrase. I absolutely love your garden. What delectable ambrosia for the eyes you and Doug have created. I do so enjoy reaping the benefits of your artist's eye for color and form. I'm hopeless in picking out plants to pair together. Doug deserves a prize for building that wonderful trellis too. Yours is a perfect match, with your painting with flowers on his hardscape canvas. Yeona |
Deanne, your photos and gardens are just stunning! (But I knew that already having seen them first hand at last year's Idyllunion). Thanks for the lovely botanical eye-candy! Taryn :) |
Deanne, I don't get here often anymore, but what a treat this morning to see your lovely garden! Everything is wonderful and such a joy. I always am inspired by your combinations. Thank you. |
Deanne, I want that Sutherland Gold! I shovelpruned mine this year. Oddly enough but your Endless Summer is way ahead of mine in the flowering department. The one I moved this spring doesn't have any flower buds at all. Beautiful as always! Sue |

Alan Grayson, Barney Frank: I'm smiling because I like you
When I was a youngster, I was a republican. I was a republican because my dad was a republican. From his perspective and our semi-privileged living situation, it really was the way to go. It would have been traumatizing to our finances to have to pay more in tax and get nothing for it. My father was specifically referring to health care in this instance. Since we already had employer provided health insurance, paying a tax for health care would have been nothing but a burden. I was a young unlearned one during the Clinton years.
Voluminous taxes for universal heath care would have been painful to us because we were really middle class. My parents had deemed us "middle-upper class" because my parents had no idea, what gap truly existed between us and the true middle-upper strata and upper-crust in American socio-economics.
When I moved to Los Angeles I learned what true "middle-upper" and "upper-crust" status is. It's appalling. It's gratuitous. It's absolutely slovenly for the most part. It's really not all that rare.
I've come to realize that paying for health care wouldn't hurt the rich a bit. But it would hurt republican senators and congressional representatives to soak those that pay their um, hell, I'll call it what it is - bribes*.
Michael Moore's new film (trailer) poses the idea, from presumably some middle America farmer sitting in his truck, "there has got to be a war between the people who got nothing...and the people who got it all."
There will be. It will begin on the topic of public option health insurance. Though it appears, much to my pleasure, that this war won't be fought literally between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It will be fought between their representatives on the floor of the Senate and the Congress.
Senator Alan Grayson said some pretty uncouth things about republicans recently. Barney Frank falls into this category as well.
I like it when things are uncouth. I like any reason to use that word uncouth. I'm very happy to see that the representatives of the proletariat in America are getting dirty in public, rather than behind speech writers and money laundering and positively well-deserved sex.
I'm happy that he used a nasty shocker-word, "holocaust" to describe the current fate of Americans without health coverage. However inaccurate because this atrocity knows no racial bounds. It's up to grab whatever it's legislators will throw at it. At this point, that's pretty much everybody.
I'm happy that he just went on the Rachel Maddow show and stated that the republicans he's dealing with are "knuckle-draggers". In a world in which you can help your fellow man without hurting yourself, it is pretty god damned Neaderthal-esque to forfeit that option.
While I much dislike the idea of using individuals posed as average Americans in Town Hall meetings to ferociously pulverize a positive agenda, I much like the plan to use one's suit and tie and seat in a legislative office to fight this fight. After all, that's why we voted in people like Barney Frank and Alan Grayson. America knows, deep in its collective moistened subconscious that we need loudmouthed assholes like these guys to keep shit moving downstream.
If you didn't take on a job like legislator to give your constituents a voice, just what did you do it for? Oh yes yes, the fatty fat fat checks, the praise, and the fun times rubbing elbows with the political elite that you've been mindfucking yourself to since you were in grad school.
I think Mssrs Grayson and Frank actually did stop their mindfucking episodes a while ago, or are taking a hiatus to yell with a voice as loud as we all wish we had. I want this to get bloody. I want this to get evil. Either party can all the other a liar, they can call each other murderers, get nasty. I want to see some passion. What's that feminists bumper sticker say? Well-behaved women rarely make history? I do think it's true that these days, well-behaved representatives rarely catalyze change.
*And I am fully aware that republicans are not the only legislators taking bribes.
I'm with you all the way; I want to see the Dems get nasty, mean, forceful, and as you say, "PASSIONATE" about this…, well…, as they are calling it…, "debate", which really is not a debate at all regarding healthcare "REFORM"; it is about preserving healthcare profits, nothing more.
You write, "Since we already had employer provided health insurance, paying a tax for health care would have been nothing but a burden. I was a young unlearned one during the Clinton years."
"Unlearned" --- that's exactly to whom these Republicans appeal.
Here's the problem: Not all elected Republicans oppose reform ... maybe not even a public option. But even of those who support it (silently), they oppose a Democrat leading the battle ... because if he succeeds ... on this or any other social reform ... they're dead in the water for at least eight years. To their hierarchy, that matters, So they are united.
So be it. If the Dems were equally united, game over ... reform occurs; option's in place. But they're not ... because there are too many "types" of Dems, each defending their own turf ... e.g. if you're a Dem in SC, you dislike anything that says "Property of US Gov't" on it ... so they fight among thenmselves, and in doing so, delute their strength. United, they win; dislodged, they lose. Therefore, we lose. Maybe Frank is calling the wrong people knuckle-draggers.
Dems should act as grownups in Congress. They shouldn't sink to the level of Joe Wilson. That's not the fight they should be joining.
Being restless in defeat is rational; being revolutionary in victory is highly suspicious.
It's past time to stop being nice.
I liked your post and I think Grayson leveled the playing field a little - we needed it - for that I was relieved hear Grayson as well. (Rated).
But, I have to say, personally, I tend to lean where Rod and Stellaa are coming from (which aren't entirely the same place). If we keep shouting back, we will dilute our strength as Rod said. Stellaa has a mean handle on this deal, too -- we need consistency. And, as you pointed out as well, there are Dems and Repubs in the pockets of healthcare right now.
Thanks for the post - great thoughts.
Mr. Grayson is just voicing the frustration of millions of Americans who are or know someone who is (or has) fought for the right to receive health care THEY'VE PAID FOR!
I agree that the Dems need to rally round Grayson and forsake their medical industry $$$ for a cause that will surely get each and every one of them re-elected for a long time to come. Come on guys -- you've got enough votes, make it happen.
I like your post Asta -- can you tell?
thanks for the thought provoking post.

Bradford Wildfire Burns 7 Acres
A wildfire in Bradford has claimed approximately seven acres of land. The blaze started as the result of a permitted burn controlled by the farmer that owns the land. The Maine Forest Service warns that the fire danger is high around the state right now and will only get worse with our expected stretch of hot, dry weather.

The ticket listed the railroad's stops, beginning with Denver and ending with Buena Vista (the railroad never made it to the Pacific, but the nineteenth century wasn't big on truth in advertising). The conductor would mark the passenger's final destination and then place the ticket -- known as a "hat check" -- above the seat, so he'd know which travelers had already checked in.
Most of the places they traveled to sounded familiar, even to a resident of modern-day Denver. Bear Creek, Littleton, Platte Canon, Pine Grove, etc. But there it was, an oddly named town that Richard Boulware had never heard of: Saxonia.
Boulware, a former public-relations official at Denver International Airport and its predecessor, Stapleton, had taken up historical research after retiring in 1998. His brother, John, who runs an antique store on South Broadway, bought the ticket at an antique show and gave it to him, knowing that Boulware was fascinated with the old narrow-gauge railroad that had run along the South Platte River into the high country.
"I saw Saxonia on that and said, 'What in the hell is Saxonia?'" remembers Richard Boulware. "That's what set all this in motion."
For much of the summer of 1999, Boulware explored the often rugged terrain along the north fork of the South Platte River, trying to find Saxonia -- a place the train would have taken you for $3.75 back in 1880. Local historians told him they had never heard of it, so he spent weeks searching through microfilmed copies of the Rocky Mountain News and the Fairplay Flume, looking for clues. He discovered several short stories about the town, which had sprung up in 1880 when a large smelter opened in a remote spot along the river. To Boulware's great surprise, he found that, for a while, as many as 300 people lived in Saxonia, which was surrounded by more than a dozen mines.
Boulware could hardly believe his luck -- he had stumbled on an all-but-forgotten mining town at the edge of the metro area. "This is 55 minutes from Denver, and nobody knew about it," he says.
It took three attempts before Boulware was finally able to locate the actual site of Saxonia.
Hiking in from the side of a steep canyon, Boulware followed a narrow deer trail down to the South Platte. At one point he stumbled on a steep slope covered with gravel and plunged toward the river until he was able to grasp a small pine tree and stop his fall. He tore up his knee and bloodied his face. "I haven't been so scared since my old Navy flying days," says Boulware, 65. "If that pine tree hadn't been there, I would have done an Indiana Jones swan dive into the river."
Boulware's blue eyes sparkle, and his deep voice rises in excitement as he recalls his discovery.
Today, Saxonia isn't much more than a wide spot in the river surrounded by an expanse of U.S. Forest Service land. Sheer canyon walls on the south side make access from that direction almost impossible, while the north side is only somewhat less rugged. But it was clear that Boulware had found Saxonia, because the smelter's brick-and-stone chimney still stands among the pine trees. Besides that structure, the only other signs of the lost town are crumbled foundation lines in the dirt and a few rusty mining implements.
Combing through deeds on file at the Jefferson County courthouse, Boulware found a map of the town, filed in 1880, that showed the exact location of several buildings related to the smelter and a spur of the railroad used to deliver ore, as well as the locations of the town's boardinghouse, the Saxonia company headquarters and a tavern.
Because so little is left, Boulware feels an urgency to protect what remains of Saxonia. He has become frustrated with the U.S. Forest Service and accuses it of showing little interest in helping to save the spot. Discovering the town was like finding a new planet, Boulware says, and he wants to see it preserved so that future generations can enjoy it.
But Saxonia was probably closer to a shooting star -- it existed as a town for probably no more than four years. By 1886 most of the buildings so carefully mapped out in that 1880 deed were gone, and the land was given back to the animals that cross it as they head to the river for a drink. The railroad bed still runs along that river for miles, though, and when the wind comes howling down the canyon you can almost imagine the roar of the steam engine as the South Park train chugged into town.
"We're still discovering the secrets of Saxonia," says Boulware. "She doesn't easily give up her secrets."
In the 1880s, no Colorado town could survive for long if it wasn't on a rail line. People went where the rails took them. The railroads moved food, building supplies, mail and souls into a forbidding wilderness, and they carried out the precious metals that made the settlement of the Rockies possible.

In outdoor plants in pots and planters (not in the ground), are coffee grounds good for them? How much is too much (percentage of coffee grounds to potting soil or dirt)? Thanks for any thoughts on this. I still think a potted plant forum would be a good one to have :) |

Hello all,
I'm looking to purchase, online, the Marriotta Miniature Rose. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells it. Can you suggest a site for minis that might carry it? Thanks! |

Helpmefind.com is a great resource to find rose information, including vendors. They list only one, Almost Heaven Roses and AH shows it in their online catalog. Hope this helps. |

You will like the quality of their roses. I bought 3 of their roses this year when they had a booth at our district rose meeting. |

Theheatherfarm.com sells Marriotta as well as numerous other minis..... although I'm not sure if they ship outside of Canada. |

Economies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are at risk from a deepening debt crisis in the euro area and rising energy prices, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development said.
Economic growth in the 29 countries in which the London- based EBRD invests will be 3.2 percent this year, slowing from 5 percent in 2011, the bank predicted today in an e-mailed report. The region will expand 3.7 percent in 2013, according to its forecast.
Eastern Europe faces renewed contagion from the euro crisis as uncertainty over Greece's future as a member of the currency union endangers credit flows and export markets, the EBRD has warned. Under its baseline scenario, it assumes the crisis will be contained, with a mild recession in the euro region.
"The euro-area crisis will continue to negatively impact those economies in the transition region that are the most intertwined with those of the euro zone," the bank said. "A further worsening of the euro-zone crisis or an oil-supply shock are both possible and pose significant downside risks."
Eastern Europe relies on financing from western lenders such as UniCredit SpA and Erste Group Bank AG, which own three- quarters of the region's banking industry. The banks are cutting funding to their eastern units as stricter regulatory requirements force them to sell assets and bolster capital.
"As European parent banks continue to deleverage, subsidiaries in the transition countries will see reduced cross- border funding and therefore extend less credit," the EBRD said. "These bank-related capital outflows are expected to continue in the coming months."
Foreign banks' exposure to emerging Europe fell by less than 3 percent in the last quarter of 2011, about half the drop recorded in the previous three months, the EBRD said, citing data from the Bank for International Settlements. In central Europe and the three Baltic nations, cross-border bank claims dropped by about 5 percent in both the third and fourth quarters, according to the report.
The EBRD, owned by 63 countries and two intergovernmental institutions, was created in 1991 to help transform the economies of former communist countries.

Romantic self meeting: me, myself and i
Isolation. Not about loneliness, but introspectiveness. Not about a particular place, though i have a totemic tree, quite far from where i live now. More about finding the right movement, the one moment, for me. The one that doesn't exist. The time to walk, to just stop, no matter where, no matter who is looking, and take some pictures of my sincere me of the moment. My movement. My instant. My thoughts come sort of ghosts and look right into my eye. My camera. My mind. My heart. My solitude. My companion. Self-portraits using the self timer... Lonely romantic session on a modernistic set: Hospital Sant Pau, Barcelona.

Macromedia Applies For OSI Certification
Re:Acid test (186 comments)
OSI: Open Source International.
DFSG: Debian Free Software guidelines.
The OSI definition is the same as Debian's
Open Source and Free Software are two entirely different things.
See the contradiction? In fact, if you'd done your homework a bit more you'd see that the DFSG are not the same as the OSI rules. Debian's rules are stricter, which is why the Apple license doesn't qualify.
And please lose the condescending attitude. It dosen't suit you.
