Shiraz ( listen (help·info) Persian: شیراز Shīrāz Persian pronunciation: [ʃiːˈrɒːz]) is the sixth most populous city in Iran[5] and is the capital of Fars Province, the city's 2009 population was 1,455,073. Shiraz is located in the southwest of Iran on the Roodkhaneye Khoshk (Dry river) seasonal river. Shiraz has a moderate climate and has been a regional trade center for more than one thousand years.
The earliest reference to the city, as Tiraziš, is on Elamite clay tablets dated to 2000 BC.[6] In the 13th century, Shiraz became a leading center of the arts and letters, thanks to the encouragement of its ruler and the presence of many Persian scholars and artists. Shiraz was the capital of Persia during the Zand dynasty from 1750 until 1781, as well as briefly during the Saffarid period.
Shiraz is known as the city of poets, literature, wine and flowers.[7] The word "shir" in Persian means "lion", but it could also mean "milk". It is also considered by many Iranians to be the city of gardens, due to the many gardens and fruit trees that can be seen in the city. Shiraz has had major Jewish and Christian communities. The crafts of Shiraz consist of inlaid mosaic work of triangular design; silver-ware; pile carpet-weaving and weaving of kilim, called gilim and jajim in the villages and among the tribes.[8] In Shiraz industries such as cement production, sugar, fertilizers, textile products, wood products, metalwork and rugs dominate.[9] Shirāz also has a major oil refinery and is also a major center for Iran's electronic industries: 53% of Iran's electronic investment has been centered in Shiraz.[10] Shiraz is home to Iran's first solar power plant.[11] Recently the city's first wind turbine has been installed above Babakoohi mountain near the city.

The earliest reference to the city is on Elamite clay tablets dated to 2000 BCE, found in June 1970, while digging to make a kiln for a brick factory in the south western corner of the city. The tablets written in ancient Elamite name a city called Tiraziš.[12] Phonetically, this is interpreted as /tiračis/ or /ćiračis/. This name became Old Persian /širājiš/; through regular sound change comes the modern Persian name Shirāz. The name Shiraz also appears on clay sealings found at a 2nd century CE Sassanid ruin, east of the city. By some of the native writers, the name Shiraz has derived from a son of Tahmuras, the third Shāh (King) of the world according to Ferdowsi's Shāhnāma.[13]
Shiraz is most likely more than 4,000 years old. The name Shiraz is mentioned in cuneiform inscriptions from around 2000 BCE found in south western corner of the Shiraz city.[14] According to some Iranian mythological traditions, it was originally erected by Tahmuras Diveband, and afterward fell to ruin.[13] The oldest sample of wine in the world, dating to approximately 7,000 years ago, was discovered on clay jars recovered outside of Shiraz.[15]
In Achaemenian era, Shiraz was on the way from Susa to Persepolis and Pasargadae. In Ferdowsi's Shāhnāma it has been said that Artabanus V, the Parthian Emperor of Iran, expanded his control over Shiraz. Ghasre Abu-Nasr (meaning "the palace of AbuNasr") which is originally from Parthian era is situated in this area. During the Sassanid era, Shiraz was in between the way which was connecting Bishapur and Gur to Istakhr. Shiraz was an important regional center under the Sassanians.[14]
The city became a provincial capital in 693, after the Arab invaders conquered Istakhr, the nearby Sassanian capital. As Istakhr fell into decline, Shiraz grew in importance under the Arabs and several local dynasties.[16] The Buwayhid empire (945–1055) made it their capital, building mosques, palaces, a library and an extended city wall. It was also ruled by Seljuk and Khwarezmid before the Mongol conquest.
The city was spared destruction by the invading Mongols, when its local ruler offered tributes and submission to Genghis Khan. Shiraz was again spared by Tamerlane, when in 1382 the local monarch, Shah Shoja agreed to submit to the invader.[16] In the 13th century, Shiraz became a leading center of the arts and letters, thanks to the encouragement of its ruler and the presence of many Persian scholars and artists. For this reason the city was named by classical geographers Dar al-'Elm, the House of Knowledge.[17] Among the important Iranian poets, mystics and philosophers born in Shiraz were the poets Sa'di[18] and Hafiz,[19] the mystic Roozbehan, and the philosopher Mulla Sadra.[20] Thus Shiraz has been nicknamed "The Athens of Iran".[21]
As early as the 11th century, several hundred thousand people inhabited Shiraz.[22] In the 14th century Shiraz had sixty thousand inhabitants.[23] During the 16th century it had a population of 200,000 people, which by the mid-18th century had decreased to only 50,000.
In 1504, Shiraz was captured by the forces of Ismail I, the founder of the Safavid dynasty. Throughout the Safavid empire (1501–1722) Shiraz remained a provincial capital and Emam Qoli Khan, the governor of Fars under Shah Abbas I, constructed many palaces and ornate buildings in the same style as those built during the same period in Isfahan, the capital of the Empire.[16] After the fall of the Safavids, Shiraz suffered a period of decline, worsened by the raids of the Afghans and the rebellion of its governor against Nader Shah; the latter sent troops to suppress the revolt. The city was besieged for many months and eventually sacked. At the time of Nader Shah's murder in 1747, most of the historical buildings of the city were damaged or ruined, and its population fell to 50,000, one-quarter of that during the 16th century.[16]
Shiraz soon returned to prosperity under the rule of Karim Khan Zand, who made it his capital in 1762. Employing more than 12,000 workers, he constructed a royal district with a fortress, many administrative buildings, a mosque and one of the finest covered bazaars in Iran.[16] He had a moat built around the city, constructed an irrigation and drainage system, and rebuilt the city walls.[16] However, Karim Khan's heirs failed to secure his gains. When Agha Mohammad Khan, the founder of the Qajar dynasty, eventually came to power, he wreaked his revenge on Shiraz by destroying the city's fortifications and moving the national capital to Tehran.[16] Although lowered to the rank of a provincial capital, Shiraz maintained a level of prosperity as a result of the continuing importance of the trade route to the Persian Gulf. Its governorship was a royal prerogative throughout the Qajar dynasty.[16] Many of the famous gardens, buildings and residences built during this time contribute to the city's present skyline.
Shiraz is the birthplace of the co-founder of the Bahá'í Faith, the Báb (Siyyid `Ali-Muhammad, 1819–1850). In this city, on the evening of 22 May 1844, he first declared his mission as the bearer of a new divine revelation.[24] For this reason Shiraz is a holy city for Bahá'ís, and the city, particularly the house of the Báb, was identified as a place of pilgrimage.[25] Due to the hostile climate towards Baha'is in Iran, the house has been the target of repeated attacks; the house was destroyed in 1979, to be paved over two years later and made into a public square.[25]
In 1910 a pogrom of the Jewish quarter started after false rumours that the Jews had ritually killed a Muslim girl. In the course of the pogrom, 12 Jews were killed and about 50 were injured,[26] and 6,000 Jews of Shiraz were robbed of all their possessions.[27]
The city's role in trade greatly diminished with the opening of the trans-Iranian railway in the 1930s, as trade routes shifted to the ports in Khuzestan. Much of the architectural inheritance of Shiraz, and especially the royal district of the Zands, was either neglected or destroyed as a result of irresponsible town planning under the Pahlavi dynasty. Lacking any great industrial, religious or strategic importance, Shiraz became an administrative centre, although its population has nevertheless grown considerably since the 1979 revolution.[28]
The Islamic Republic has brought with it a lot of positive changes for the city. Following the Iranian revolution in 1979, the city's municipality and other related institutions initiated important restoration and reconstruction projects.[16] Some of the most recent projects have been the complete restoration of the Arg of Karim Khan and of the Vakil Bath, as well as a comprehensive plan for the preservation of the old city quarters. Other noteworthy initiatives include the total renovation of the Qur'an Gate and the mausoleum of the poet Khwaju Kermani, both located in the Allah-u-Akbar Gorge, as well as the restoration and expansion of the mausoleum of the famous Shiraz-born poets Hafiz and Saadi.[16] A lot of different construction projects is currently underway, which is going to modernize the City's infrastructure. The Shiraz 1400 chain of projects is set to transform the city and greatly modernize the infrastructure. [29] After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Shiraz was re-established as the capital of Iranian Art and Culture. Shiraz is known as the capital of Persian Art, Culture and Literature and it is also named as the third religious city in the country, after Mashhad and Qom. [30].
Shiraz is located in the south of Iran and the northwest of Fars Province. It is built in a green plain at the foot of the Zagros Mountains 1500 metres (5200 ft) above sea level. Shiraz is 919 kilometres (571 mi) south of Tehran.[31] A seasonal river, Rudkhaneye Khoshk, flows through the northern part of the city and on into Maharloo Lake.

Shiraz has a moderate climate with regular seasons.[31]
Shiraz contains a considerable number of gardens. Due to population growth in the city, many of these gardens may be lost to give way to new developments. Although some measures have been taken by the Municipality to preserve these gardens, many illegal developments still endanger them. The rainfall in recent years, during which atmospheric conditions have changed perceptibly, has been comparatively sufficient, and has reached 23 inches in a year, but the average rainfall is between 14 and 18 inches.[32]

Shiraz is the economic center of southern Iran. The second half of the 19th century witnessed certain economic developments that greatly changed the economy of Shiraz. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 allowed the extensive import into southern Iran of inexpensive European factory-made goods, either directly from Europe or via India.[34] Farmers in unprecedented numbers began planting cash crops such as opium poppy, tobacco, and cotton. Many of these export crops passed through Shiraz on their way to the Persian Gulf. Iranian long-distance merchants from Fars developed marketing networks for these commodities, establishing trading houses in Bombay, Calcutta, Port Said, Istanbul and even Hong Kong.[34]
Shiraz's economic base is in its provincial products, which include grapes, citrus fruits, cotton and rice.[35] Industries such as cement production, sugar, fertilizers, textile products, wood products, metalwork and rugs dominate.[35] Shirāz also has a major oil refinery and is also a major center for Iran's electronic industries. 53% of Iran's electronic investment has been centered in Shiraz.[36]
Agriculture has always been a major part of the economy in and around Shiraz. This is partially due to a relative abundance of water compared to the surrounding deserts. Shirāz is famous for its carpet production and flowers as well. Viticulture has a long history in the region, and Shirazi wine used to be produced here. Shiraz is also the most important city in Iran for IT, communication and electronic industry and transportation.
The Shiraz Special Economic Zone or the SEEZ was established in 2000 with the purpose of boosting manufacture in electronic and communications.[37][38]
As of 2006, Shiraz has a population of 1,227,331, the majority of whom are Persian.[39] Most of the population of Shiraz are Muslims. Shiraz also was home to a 6,000-strong Jewish community, although most emigrated to the United States and Israel in the latter half of the 20th century.[40] Along with Tehran and Esfahan, Shiraz is one of the handful of Iranian cities with a sizable Jewish population, and more than one active synagogue.
Shiraz also has a significant Baha'i population, the largest in the country after Tehran.
There are currently two functioning churches in Shiraz, one Armenian, the other, Anglican.[41][42]
Shiraz is known as the city of poets, gardens, wine, nightingales and flowers.[43][44] The crafts of Shiraz consist of inlaid mosaic work of triangular design; silver-ware; carpet-weaving, and the making of the rugs called gilim (Shiraz Kilim or Sheraz Kalim) and "jajim" in the villages and among the tribes.[32] The garden is an important part of Iranian culture. There are many old gardens in Shiraz such as the Eram garden and the Afif abad garden. According to some people,[who?] Shiraz "disputes with Xeres [or Jerez] in Spain the honour of being the birthplace of sherry."[45]
Shiraz is proud of being mother land of Hafiz Shirazi, Shiraz is an important centre for Iranian culture and has produced a number of famous poets. Saadi, a 12th and 13th century poet was born in Shiraz. He left his native town at a young age for Baghdad to study Arabic literature and Islamic sciences at Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad. When he reappeared in his native Shiraz he was an elderly man. Shiraz, under Atabak Abubakr Sa'd ibn Zangy (1231–1260) was enjoying an era of relative tranquility. Saadi was not only welcomed to the city but he was highly respected by the ruler and enumerated among the greats of the province. He seems to have spent the rest of his life in Shiraz. Hafiz, another famous poet and mystic was also born in Shiraz. A number of scientists also originate from Shiraz. Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi, a 13th century astronomer, mathematician, physician, physicist and scientist was from Shiraz. In his The Limit of Accomplishment concerning Knowledge of the Heavens, he also discussed the possibility of heliocentrism.[46]
Within a relatively short driving distance from Shiraz are the ruins of Persepolis, Bishapur, Pasargadae, and Firouzabad. At Naqsh-e Rustam can be found the tombs of the Achaemenid kings as well as the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht, which has been thought to be either a Zoroastrian fire temple or possibly even the true tomb of Cyrus the Great. Maharloo Lake is a popular breeding ground for various bird species.
Naqsh-e Rostam site contains funerary related works belonging to the Elamite (second millennium BCE), Achaemenid (550–330 BCE) and Sassanid (226–651 CE) eras. Naqsh-e Rostam is a site believed by archaeologists to have been a cemetery for Persepolis, where Achaemenid, Parthian and Sassanid royalty were laid to rest. Located about 3–4 kilometers northwest of Persepolis in Iran's Fars province, the site contains funerary relat

Christian Women's Job Corps provides lessons, hope to women
POSTED: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - 5:10pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - 1:56pm
Henderson, TX (KETK) — Women in Rusk County are feeling empowered thanks to the Christian Women's Job Corps.
The Job Corps offers free classes to teach women job, computer, interviewing and life skills.
Administrator Christie Gambrell says they aim to teach lessons that really matter.
" We've been doing health and nutrition because that's the number one reason women lose their jobs..they're responsible for the health of their family..if the children are sick..the man usually doesn't take off from work..the woman does."
Maryam Glili moved to Henderson from Afghanistan. In addition to job skill classes, she takes english classes. She says before she started the program, she felt overwhelmed and defeated by the american culture and language. Now, she says she's ready to live the "American Dream."
"I can do anything..get good job..go to college."
Janet Richardson hasn't always worked at the Job Corps, she was a student first. Richardson says the empowerment she received, had to be shared with others. She says it's the gift that keeps on giving.
"One of our former students texted me and says I got a job..and it was like oh my goodness..you know you're just so happy for them."
When Blanca Canengos came to The Christian Women's Job Corps four years ago, she says she could only speak a few words of English.
"I have a little special girl..and i need to talk with the doctors and the school."
Now, Canengos says she can communicate with doctors and teachers to provide a better life for her children.
The Job Corps also helped her become a U.S Citizen, which was a goal of Canengos'.

Despite the rising costs of gasoline and airfare, it is still possible to indulge in a satisfying vacation without spending a fortune. Enjoying a vacation without overspending is not as difficult as it may seem, and cheap hotels are one way through which this goal can be accomplished. Many times, inexpensive accommodations are the key to an affordable vacation. Those who know choose such hotels, especially if they can be flexible with their travel dates, will find that an exciting and memorable vacation is well within reach.
Requesting hotel discounts
One of the most frequently overlooked ways to acquire an accommodation discount is to ask for one. Almost all resorts and hotels provide substantial discounts for individuals who are taking their trip in celebration of a special event such as an anniversary, birthday or honeymoon. In addition, certain hotels will offer an upgrade if a better suite or room is available that would otherwise remain unoccupied. However, very few hotels will make a customer aware of such options unless they are asked. Therefore, it is in one's best interest to inquire about such discounts upon check-in.
Those who are traveling to a large urban area will find that accommodation prices vary considerably depending on the hotel's proximity to the city. When booking a room in a metropolitan area, money can often be saved by reserving accommodations just outside the city. Hotels that are located on the outskirts of a city are typically much less expensive than those located in the city's downtown district. Travelers who are planning to drive to their vacation destination should consider this money-saving tip.
Off season travel
Hotels often provide discounts to travelers who are willing to book their accommodations during the off season. Such discounts are frequently as high as 50%. An added benefit of off season travel that comes as a pleasant surprise to many vacationers is the additional money they save on other aspects of their vacation. Many restaurants and attractions offer discounted prices during non-peak times of the year, resulting in added savings. Numerous individuals also find that shopping, dining and sightseeing are more enjoyable activities when their chosen destination is not extremely crowded. Although it may take a bit of research to locate cheap hotels or special discounts, the money that can be saved when such steps are taken make it well worth the vacationer's time.

Emilio Pucci Spring 2013 | Runway
Emilio Pucci Spring 2013
This season, there have been plenty of explorations in eastern exoticism. Vera Wang did it, Prada too. But no one, for Spring 2013 anyway, has done it as sexily as Peter Dundas did today with his languid play on the "opulence of Indochina."
Sheer was the name of the game here, and it came in the form of white chiffon and organza that covered (well, not really) the body in loose layers and billowing shapes. Wide-leg trousers, tunics, tank tops, and even a trench coat seemed to float off the body in barely there wisps; some pieces were anchored only by strategically placed opaque panels or delicate, crystal-embellished embroidery in dragon and tiger motifs. A later group consisting of silky anoraks, kimono-style jackets, column gowns, and slouchy pantsuits came in liquid-like silk and printed with bold blossom prints or adorned with metallic appliqué. Though less revealing, they embodied the same sensual spirit.

waste management that doesn't cost the earth
We believe that commercial waste disposal, commercial waste collection and commercial waste recycling shouldn't have to cost the Earth and that complete diversion away from landfill is a must if we are to deliver a future for the generations to come.
We make recycling easy, helping you to maximise your effort and value. We provide a responsive, reliable service employing innovative and environmentally sound solutions from a wide range of sources.
To support this objective, here at Nationwide Waste Services, we believe in finding a secondary use for the waste we collect where possible, in order to fulfil our obligation to our planet and to our customers.
Bearing in mind that landfill operators have implemented cost increases, as well as the continuing hikes in landfill tax and waste disposal costs, the advantages of our service far outweigh traditional waste disposal methods, as alongside the environmental benefits waste recycling and reuse brings, customers can save on average between 10-15% on their annual waste management costs also.
In a nutshell, we make recycling easy, minimising the cost to the planet and the cost to your pocket.

Day Off - Chicago-3
14 May 2001
Day Off - Chicago-3
This morning and afternoon, whilst most of our touring party was still unconscious, a huge storm blew into Chicago, making for pretty spectacular scenes over Lake Michigan. I had planned to go sight seeing, but the torrential rain looked like it was going to take the edge of the pleasure of a gentle stroll. By 3 or 4 things had cleared up, so I ventured out with my buddy Harold who's here visiting. We went out to a suburb called Oak Park, which was home to legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Its a pretty residential area, with most buildings dating back to the turn of the century and many of them designed by FLW himself. We picked up a map from the FLW museum and took a lengthy and leisurely walk around the neighbourhood. I absolutely loved it, as there's some beautiful buildings. He was a man unafraid, was our Frankie. Most amazing of all though is the time he was working. A lot of these places look like classic Art Deco buildings, but they were designed and built in 1905 or earlier, 30 years before Deco went mainstream.
By nightfall we were pretty shagged, due to last night's excesses, so decided to make use of the DVD player in my hotel room. The hotel we're staying in is absolutely fabulous, but as the week has worn on, some of its 'eccentricities' are coming to the fore. They have a DVD library, so having inspected the extensive selection listing, I rang reception and asked them to send up 'High Fidelity'. "Ah, yeah Sar, at once, you hab secon choy?" Second choice.... OK, how about 'The Birds'? "OK Sar, 'Hey Fodilito' and 'Der Bards', yes, right way". I wasn't overly surprised when the phone rang five minutes later. "So sorry, we no have, you have thirt choi for me now?" No worries, then, let's do 'Bladerunner', with a back up plan of 'Dog Day Afternoon'. "Ah yeh, Sar, BadeRarr an Doe Dae Arboloon". I settled back to wait for the next phone call, and was slightly surprised to hear a knock at the door. Outside was our video librarian proffering a DVD. Wesley Snipes in "Blade". Well, it was a valiant effort, I suppose. No, no, I explain before she attempted to escape, this is the wrong movie, I wanted BladeRUNNER. "Ah OK, I go get now". Five minutes later and not entirely unexpectedly, the phone rings again. "No, Brado, sar. So sorry we no have...." Shall I come down and have a look for myself? "Ah yes...." Down in the hotel lobby there was no sign of the DVD librarian, so I asked an entirely different person behind the counter, whom I have never seen before, if I could have a look at the video collection. She rather nonchalantly took me to a large cupboard, pulled open the door to reveal about a hundred DVDs and walked away, without enquiring as to who I was or even if I was staying at the hotel. Little wonder they haven't got much of their collection left, I mused, as I looked along the shelves, picked out 'High Fidelity' & 'The Birds' and went back to my room.

When Libyan rebels shot and killed toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi Thurday, they brought an end to the rule and life of one of the modern world's most controversial — and colorful — authoritarian rulers.
Gaddafi, who once had himself crowned the "king of kings of Africa," and on another occasion the "Guide to the era of the masses," erratically, and sometimes brutally, led Libya for more than 42 years. He managed one of Africa's biggest oil producing countries and leveraged that power on the world stage. He also regularly drew headlines for his sense of fashion, which was marked by bright colors, long, flowing robes and flashy sunglasses.
Gaddafi's hold on power began to disintegrate in February when Arab Spring-style protests erupted in the eastern city of Benghazi. Gaddafi security forces met the protesters with violence, leading civilians to take up arms and form a rebel army. The rebels battled Gaddafi's well-armed forces for months before finally taking Tripoli, the capital, last month with the help of NATO airstrikes. Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown and where the leader made his final stand, fell to rebel forces on Thursday.

on June 1, 2012It's been an interesting week as regards all the fuss and bother around the world concerning ladyparts and the ladies who have them, and the men who would rather be in charge of them. Down in Oklahoma, somebody's conscience did some real damage.
(I beg of you. Don't read the comments. It's too nice a weekend.)
The woman in Oklahoma probably should consider herself lucky. She could be living in Brazil, where the Clan Of The Red Beanie flexed its medievals a couple of years ago at a nine-year old rape victim:
Jose Cardoso Sobrinho, the conservative regional archbishop for Pernambuco where the girl was rushed to hospital, has said that the man would not be thrown out of the Church, because although he had allegedly committed "a heinous crime", the Church took the view that "the abortion, the elimination of an innocent life, was more serious".
We all know that the institutional Church considered the rape of children to be, at best, a minor annoyance but, wowser. Luckily, though, this took place all the way back in 2009, and in Brazil not in the United States, and the Church never would think of doing something like this here.
The greatest of these, you may recall, is charity.

Local beekeepers claim their yearly loss rates within their bee populations has gone from an average of 10% per year to 30% per year over the last 10 years, though they are unsure whether the cause lies with a mite and a virus it might be spreading or with the increased use of certain pesticides by local farmers. According to a recent report prepared by Greenpeace seven pesticides currently in use in Europe present a real danger to bees. Bees are essential in nature in pollenating a wide variety of plants and trees. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

I'm sure I've seen one of these here or there in person, but have never been aware of it. Can anyone tell me about P. mume and it's many apparent cultivars? Whitman Farms calls it less disease-susceptible than other Prunus, is this accurate? How hardy is it, really? I've seen it rated anywhere from zone 5B (probably a stretch) to 7B as a minimum. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In Seattle dies back when there is a bad spring just like other susceptible ornamental stone fruits (such as Higan cherry trees) but seems to differ in being able to bounce back better. And in not being blighted as often. Fragrance is great, one independent garden center or another in the area over the years will be stocking it much of the time. But publicly visible, long term examples remain scarce. One thing I have observed from my own plantings is that cherry plum root-stocks used by at least one important West Coast wholesale source appear to actually be highly incompatible, with the apricot growing rapidly after planting, to make a top of some size - and then deteriorate markedly at the same time that an explosion of root-stock sprouts appears. On one site there is now an actual spreading infestation of cherry plum suckers that is going to have to be dug out, as the once lovely scion now dwindles away. Unselected Japanese apricot seedlings can sometimes be nasty, with tiny flowers and numerous stiff spurs with spiny tips. |

I wonder what Lucille Whitman grafts hers on to? |
I'm very happy with my P. 'Peggy Clarke', but the rootstock is a nuisance. I got it at Raintree...I think Camforest grows them from cuttings, not grafts. Bloom has varied from late February to early-mid April after this last incredible winter...but it still bloomed. No foliar disease issues at all; many other Rosaceous trees have a terrible time here with my very humid (even by east coast standards) summers. 'Ivan's Belle' completely defoliates by midsummer! Though at least it was finally able to fruit this year: they are hideous tasting and not much better looking. Certainly no potential to be as pretty as a standard European rowan tree, even if it did not defoliate. |
This post was edited by davidrt28 on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 17:54
Worth pointing out because I think it is widely misunderstood...the fruit of P. mume is edible, w/o processing. Doesn't have to be cooked to detoxify it or anything...which can be done with mountain ash if you're really in a bind and about to die of scurvy or something ;-). It's just small, and not very sweet, but definitely taste like a plum. If you somehow had a tree full of them and the birds didn't get them - mine do - you could certainly make jam from them or just eat them if you were willing to go through the hassle of picking something so small. In the obscure and eccentric category of "fruits barely worth eating" though, I'd still say Arbutus unedo 'Elfin King' is more satisfying. No pit to worry about, for one thing. Mine was killed to the ground but is coming back. Fuchsia regia is nice, too. That died out because it got shaded, not because of the winter. I would rate it higher than Leycesteria, which taste very interesting but are a true pain in the neck to pick. |

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea on Saturday reiterated a proposal for unconditional talks with South Korea to ease tensions on the divided peninsula.
The North's latest offer comes days after South Korea dismissed earlier calls by Pyongyang for negotiations.
Tensions between the two sides escalated after a North Korean artillery barrage on a South Korean-held island near their disputed maritime border killed four South Koreans in November.
The attack — the first on a civilian area since the 1950-53 Korean War — occurred in waters not far from where a North Korean torpedo allegedly brought down a South Korean warship eight months earlier. That attack killed 46 sailors. Pyongyang has denied responsibility.
"We do not want to see the present South Korean authorities pass the five-year term of their office idly without North-South dialogue," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement, carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
"There is neither conditionality in the North's proposal for dialogue nor need to cast any doubt about its real intention."
Unification Ministry Chun Hae-sung said South Korea will review the latest offer, noting North Korea has not sent an official request for talks. He did not give any further details.
The North this week called for unconditional and early talks with South Korea. Seoul dismissed the offer and urged the North to show it has changed through actions, not words.
North Korea's sudden willingness to talk fits a well-established and — for diplomats engaged in the often tortuous negotiations in the past — tiresome pattern. Pyongyang, the complaint goes, creates a crisis and, when panic and fear envelope Seoul, Washington and Tokyo, then offers the possibility of negotiations to win badly needed food, fuel and other aid.
Washington and Seoul have been vague about what they want from the North to restart talks. The U.S. has indicated an openness to a resumption but is urging the North to demonstrate a "seriousness of purpose."

Those looking to cleanse, tone, moisturize, and fight wrinkles all at the same time are supposed to have found what they need in this product, at least according to the claims. These individually-wrapped, water-based towelettes (right, just ordinary towelettes) are said to be your do-it-all option (though sun protection was left out, so right away you know this isn't an all-in-one solution for keeping skin healthy). All these really do is minimally cleanse skin and provide it with a smattering of antioxidants. Most of the intriguing ingredients are listed after the preservative (caprylyl glycol) and as such don't count for much. The realistic way to view this product is as a slightly moisturizing toner you wipe over skin after a workout or long day outdoors if you're not wearing makeup. That's the "EZ" part, but you'll still need a real cleanser and the rest of your skin-care routine because this is only the beginning, and a poor beginning at that.
EZ4U Facial Towelettes provide the benefits of four skincare products (cleanser, toner, wrinkle fighter and moisturizer) in one comprehensive and convenient towelette. The perfect way to maintain healthy skin on-the-go, this multi-tasking, individually-wrapped treatment delivers potent anti-aging and botanical ingredients to refresh and improve your complexion anytime throughout the day.
Purified Water, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Bicarbonate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Sodium PCA, Bisabolol, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Germ Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, 1-Methylhydantoin-2-Imide, Arbutin, Lactic Acid, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Acrylates/Carbamate Copolymer, Dimethyl Sulfone, Zinc PCA, Caprylyl Glycolic, Bentonite, Copper PCA, Mannitol, Butylene Glycol, Octoxynol-p, PEG12 Dimethicone, Simethicone, Disodium EDTA, Cyclodextrin, Pentasodium Pentetate, Phytic Acid, Potassium Citrate, Potassium Gluconate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid
As you may have gleaned from the name, dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross created this skin-care line. Based in New York City, he claims that all of his products provide "maximum results without side effects," a statement any doctor should know better than to make. For instance, a consumer would logically assume, especially coming from a doctor, that "maximum results" means the products in question really will firm, lift, tighten, plump, or peel the skin. But Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare products don't provide maximum results, not in the least, and definitely not in any of the ways suggested by the marketing copy. In fact, although Gross includes some very impressive ingredients in his products, they cannot make good on the most enticing claims he makes for them.
As for the promise of "no side effects," that is easily refuted with a simple overview of his underachieving products. A quick summary: lavender oil can cause skin-cell death, sulfur is extremely irritating and drying to skin, ascorbic acid can be sensitizing, as can retinol, and the synthetic active sunscreen agents he uses can also present their share of problems. That's not to say that all of these ingredients are bad for skin (only the sulfur and lavender oil qualify for that description), but it's foolish to make a blanket statement that your cosmeceutical-type products are free of side effects. How could he possibly know what a person may react to?
Gross also asserts that he uses cutting-edge technology in his products, a point which I concede given the number of superior moisturizers and serums he offers, all of which compete nicely with other well-formulated products. His products are expensive, but if you're going to spend a lot of money on skin-care products, you should be purchasing state-of-the-art formulas, and these do rate. Of course, this technology (read: efficacious ingredients) doesn't extend to every Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare product, but overall this is one line whose formulas have improved considerably since the previous edition of this book, and that is excellent news!
Several of the products in this line contain emu oil. While there is research indicating that emu oil is a good emollient that can help heal skin, it is not that different from other oils that offer the same benefit, such as grape or olive or even mineral oil for that matter (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology, August 1996, pages 159–161).
Last, please ignore the tired claim that these products are your alternative to surgical procedures and that they use medical-grade ingredients. Concerning the latter, there is no such thing; Gross uses the same cosmetic and over-the-counter active ingredients found throughout the cosmetics industry. And although his line offers some remarkable products, none of them can provide results equivalent to Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments (and definitely not a face-lift).
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all MD Skincare products are fragrance-free.

San Antonio, Texas - As the day draws closer to a close, enough scores have come in that we are beginning to get a clear idea of who the top six shooters will be in the Men's and Women's finals.
The sun finally came out an hour ago and the overcast earlier in the day prevented the temperature from getting too hot, making today a pretty good one.
Blake Tripplett of Bethel University has posted a very impressive 99 to take the lead in the men's standings although there are competitors close behind him ready to take the lead in the finals. Currently there is a six-way tie for the fifth and sixth places in the finals that could come to an intense shootoff if no one elses jumps up on the leader board.
From Lindenwood University, Megan Orle's 98 commands the women's scoreboard. There is a two-way tie for sixth among the women which would also come to a shoot off for that last spot in the finals.
Scores below the jump.

Yes, she's doing fine. Next week she should be inside 330, and if she does well (say, qualifies and wins a round) in Cali, she could come very close to top300 (maybe 2-3 spots outside). That would be really nice, but it would take a bit of luck with the draw to achieve. Hope she gets ready for the clay

Thank You for Standing UpPosted on Jan 23, 2012
By Chris Hedges I spent Friday morning sitting on a wooden bench in a fourth-floor courtroom in the New York Criminal Court in Manhattan. I was waiting to be sentenced for "disturbing the peace" and "refusing to obey a lawful order" during an Occupy demonstration in front of Goldman Sachs in November. Those sentenced before me constituted the usual fare of the court. They were poor people of color accused of mostly petty crimes—drug possession, thefts, shoplifting, trespassing because they were homeless and needed a place to sleep, inappropriate touching, grand larceny and violation of probation. They were escorted out of a backroom by a police officer, stood meekly before the judge with their hands cuffed behind them, were hastily defended by a lawyer clutching a few folders, and were sentenced. Ten days in jail. Sixty days in jail. Six months in jail. A steady stream of convictions. My sentence, by comparison, was slight. I was given an ACD, or "adjournment in contemplation of dismissal," which means that if I am not arrested in the next six months my case is dismissed. If I am arrested during this period of informal probation the old charge will be added to the new one before I am sentenced. The country's most egregious criminals, the ones who had stripped some of those being sentenced of their homes, their right to a decent education and health care, their jobs, their dignity and their hope, those wallowing in tens and hundreds of millions of dollars, those who had gamed the system to enrich themselves at our expense, were doing the dirty business of speculation in the tall office towers a few blocks away. They were making money. A few of these wealthy plutocrats were with the president, who was in New York that day to attend four fundraisers that took in an estimated $3 million. For $15,000 you could have joined Barack Obama at Daniel, an exclusive Upper East Side restaurant. For $35,000 you could have been at a gathering hosted by movie director Spike Lee. Most of those sentenced in that courtroom do not make that much in a year. It was a good day in New York for Barack Obama. It was a bad day for us. Our electoral system, already hostage to corporate money and corporate lobbyists, gasped its last two years ago. It died on Jan. 21, 2010, when the Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission granted to corporations the right to spend unlimited amounts on independent political campaigns. The ruling turned politicians into corporate employees. If any politician steps out of line, dares to defy corporate demands, this ruling hands to our corporate overlords the ability to pump massive amounts of anonymous money into campaigns to make sure the wayward are defeated and silenced. Politicians like Obama are hostages. They jump when corporations say jump. They beg when corporations say beg. They hand corporations exemptions, subsidies, trillions in taxpayer money, no-bid contracts and massive loans with virtually no interest, and they abolish any regulations that impede profits and protect the citizen. Corporations like Goldman Sachs, because they own the system, are bailed out by federal dollars and given essentially free government loans to gamble. I am not sure what to call our economic system, but it is not capitalism. And if any elected official so much as murmurs anything that sounds like dissent, the Supreme Court ruling permits corporations to destroy him or her. And they do. Turn off your televisions. Ignore the Newt-Mitt-Rick-Barack reality show. It is as relevant to your life as the gossip on "Jersey Shore." The real debate, the debate raised by the Occupy movement about inequality, corporate malfeasance, the destruction of the ecosystem, and the security and surveillance state, is the only debate that matters. You won't hear it on the corporate-owned airwaves and cable networks, including MSNBC, which has become to the Democratic Party what Fox News is to the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party. You won't hear it on NPR or PBS. You won't read about it in our major newspapers. The issues that matter are being debated, however, on "Democracy Now!," Link TV, The Real News, Occupy websites and Revolution Truth. They are being raised by journalists such as Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. You can find genuine ideas in corners of the Internet or in books by political philosophers such as Sheldon Wolin. But you have to go looking for them. Advertisement Square, Site wide In this year's presidential election I will vote for a third-party candidate, either the Green Party candidate or Rocky Anderson, assuming one of them makes it onto the ballot in New Jersey, but voting is nothing more than a brief chance to register our disgust with the corporate state. It will not alter the configurations of power. The campaign is not worth our emotional, physical or intellectual energy.

By Nick, January 23, 2012 at 10:18 am Link to this comment I agree 95% with the article - but I will say this… NOT VOTING for OBAMA and allowing any REPUBLICAN to become president makes the struggle harder. Does it not make sense to at least vote for the lesser of two evils? We will have to "play the political game" while we nurture the populist movement or it will all be for nothing.

By SharonMI, January 23, 2012 at 9:20 am Link to this comment I updated my American Dream poster (with the Depression Mother on it) to say 99% in red duct tape and went to join the 2 peaceniks in our little town's center of town fountain area. They weren't there and there were no footprints in the snow. I stood there for ~an hour and a half. I got some waves and plenty of honks. A sheriff vehicle drove by three times but it is a circle in the middle of town so I wasn't too freaked out. The only (outside)Occupy in Michigan is on the other side of the state so I decided to try 'n' raise awareness.
By Kris Ingesson, January 23, 2012 at 9:18 am Link to this comment Among the many obstacles to overcome is the lure of false prophets. A few days ago Chris Hedges was invited to an interview with one, Alex Jones. I don't know how familiar people here are with Jones, but let me tell you; Jones is not merely a conspiracy theorist who expresses unorthodox views. He is a conman; a high-tech hustler who sells poor, semi-literate people an excuse for their fear and hatred. A simple glance at his website shouldn't leave any doubt in an astute mind, that to Jones the bottom line is the bottom line; all that Survivalist paraphernalia, I call it the Apocalypse-Industrial Complex. Some years ago Jones had Noam Chomsky on his show, what Jones said to his listeners after the interview had concluded was comical, yet some undeniably believed him. I have no idea if Hedges would even consider accepting Jones invitation to begin with; I suspect he might be too busy. And I'm not necessarily saying Hedges shouldn't make an appearance on Jones's show, he still has a sizeable audience, god knows why.

By Quit the Duopoly!, January 23, 2012 at 9:04 am Link to this comment The first thing we should all do is quit our party membership. If anyone is still registered as a Democrat or a Republican, you are just helping the corporate empire pull the strings of their puppet parties. Even if you don't vote for a Republican or Democrat, you still support their existence by registering with their party. Imagine if/when they have no members. What will the corporations do?

By Paul in NYC, January 23, 2012 at 5:46 am Link to this comment I will disagree with one point made in the piece and that is voting for the Green Party. They have not earned my vote because I question their motives, their agenda and their seeming lack of seriousness when it comes to offering up candidates. The Greens, at least the most vocal and visible ones, often come across as the most narrowly focused activists from the most radical parts of the left. They often speak to their followers and few others. I want the Greens to go out and find themselves someone who speaks to the issues of the common working person and not just offer yet one more form of libertarianism or anarchism masquerading as a third party. I also get very turned off by what seems like a cultlike sycophancy on the part of Green members as well as some of the connections to the LaRouche idiots. |

The Best Darn Dachshunds in Texas
Welcome to Hound House Farm! Get ya a bale of hay and sit a spell, relax and enjoy. I promise there is no bite'n here, we are just too darn sweet for that.
Here at Hound House Farm our goal is to be one of the BEST Miniature Dachshund Breeders not only in Texas but around the world. We are always working hard to be a step above in the Dachshund world, striving to only produce the finest quality Miniature Dachshund you can find. We are very confident and proud in our breeding program, feeling very lucky to have our fine four legged family members. We are always looking to improve with every breeding that takes place here. Only the best will do!
Every breeding is carefully planned, taking into consideration each parent's strengths and faults so that we can match them up with the best mate possible. We do not produce quantity, ONLY quality. We have some very outstanding babies here that sport impressive pedigrees and are great specimens of the Dachshund breed. We never add a family member spontaneously or out of compulsion, lots of thought and research goes into each member here. We want the best so that we can give you the best.
There are several things that are expected of a Hound House Farm Dachshund so we can assure you that you are getting a wonderful companion that will be with you for many years to come. First is a great disposition and personality, we will not breed a dog that has aggression issues. Our babies are very well socialized and will welcome you in our home. They will bark to let us know we have company, greet you with kisses and a "LOOK AT ME" attitude. Secondly we look for conformation. There is no such thing as "the perfect dachshund" but we sure do try to come close. We like to see lots of bone structure for a more sound and well put together dog along with a nice head, ear set, deep chest, almond shaped eyes and of course those low to the ground legs. We love the lush coats in our longhairs and the sleek silky look in our smooth coats. Last but not least is the color and pattern. Our colors include your classic reds and black and tans. We also have chocolate and tan along with the famous English Creams. We have babies in solid, dapple and piebald; in both long and smooth coats. We will never produce a double dapple.
We very much enjoy getting to know our potential doxie family members, therefore, we do require that you fill out a very simply puppy application so that we can get to know you better and try to match or help you decide on the best puppy for your family. Each puppy or dog has their own personality, that is why we love the Dachshunds breed so very much, so we try to learn what you are looking for in your new companion.
We will NOT under any circumstances sell to puppy mills, brokers, pet stores or anyone associated with them. Only the best families will do for our babies.
We would love to welcome you to our extended doxie family and look forward to getting to know you. We are sure you will find your new baby right here with us at Hound House Farm.
We are located in Blum Texas
(between Ft Worth and Waco off of HWY 35)

GMC Envoy Replacement Cold Air Intake Information
Sometimes, all you need is a thrifty, well-built, dependable form of transportation, the GMC is what you want. Great power and high performance are dependent on high-quality components and accessories. A high-performance vehicle definitely requires the most high-end replacement parts you can buy. Luckily, air intakes can be put in place by beginning mechanics using just simple tools - for most intakes, only a screwdriver. A GMC Envoy Cold Air Intake enhances your horsepower by enhancing the quantity and reducing the temperature of air used by the engine. Your Cold Air Intake is a specific gadget applied in order to increase the complete power and effectiveness of the vehicle's motor by means of bringing in chillier outside air and incorporating it specifically to the engine. Usually, Cold Air Intakes upgrade real power levels by around 10%, but this will vary widely depending on the usefulness and quality of the intake. Cold Air Intakes can be found in an assortment of styles and are a reliable supplement or substitution for regular air intakes that are generally somewhat inefficient by comparison; high-end intakes may boost gas mileage and performance.
They are available for the following GMC Envoy years: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02. This part is also sometimes called GMC Envoy Intakes. We stock cold air intake parts for most GMC models including Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500 HD, Yukon, K1500, Yukon XL 1500, C1500, K1500 Suburban, Terrain, Sonoma, Jimmy, Sierra 2500, C2500, Sierra 1500 HD, Yukon XL 2500, C1500 Suburban, C2500 Suburban, Sierra 3500, Canyon, C3500, R2500 Suburban, K3500, V3500, K2500 Suburban, S15, R1500 Suburban, K2500, Sierra 3500 HD, S15 Jimmy, Sierra C3, V1500 Suburban, R3500, V2500 Suburban and R2500.
We stock these Cold Air Intake brands for the GMC Envoy: K&N, Airaid, Volant, Banks Power and AFE.

Overall good. A few concerns:
The heat shield seems somewhat flimsy with thin metal and only two screw-down points.
The instruction guide has conflicting diagrams vs. pictures.
Very difficult to install air temperature sensor without pushing through rubber grommet.

The Yadkin Valley Wine Tours travel among the vineyard rows and through the dark cool of barrel cellars, letting guests get up close and personal with the wineries of the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills. Chauffeured excursions by van or bus roll along back-country roads and scenic highways and make stops at wineries along Swan Creek, Shallowford Trail, Yadkin River Trail, and others.
At each winery, the guide unveils a little piece of North Carolina's winemaking heritage, explaining why the area's grape-growing climate is considered similar to that of Burgundy and the Italian Piedmont, just with much, much more distant views of the Alps. Afterward, a wine tasting lets everyone drink in the local flavor and learn proper tasting technique. Tours often follow the themes of the season, combining wine tasting with mining for gems in the summer, taking in the changing foliage in the fall, and stops at toasty fireplaces in the winter.
Drawing from the more frightening pages of the area's history, Carolina History & Haunts? guides lead lantern-lit tours of eerie and haunted locales. The ?Nightmares Around Elm Street? tour sends groups through the specter-laden streets of Greensboro, while the Beyond the Grave tour braves uptown Charlotte?s paranormal avenues to learn the fates of the less fortunate and possibly even witness a prankster ghost grabbing a dog's tail as it's chased.
Carolina History & Haunts partners with local businesses to give tour goers discounts on accommodations and food, and large groups are eligible for discounted pricing and private tours.
Queen City Segway Tours offers two-hour tours of downtown Charlotte aboard easy-to-maneuver Segways. Each Segway is equipped with high-speed microprocessors, solid-state gyroscopes, and powerful electric motors that keep riders of all ages balanced as they discover their Seg-legs. Cruise past sights such as the Wells Fargo Cultural Campus, Bank of America Stadium, Frazier Park, the Irwin Creek Greenway, and the historic Fourth Ward District, or customize your own route through the city's lesser-known lava pits and leopard-infested labyrinths. Tours are led by a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, and with group sizes limited to a maximum of six, you'll never have to worry about lagging behind. Whether you're visiting the Queen City for a day, or you've lived in its trees all your life, an expedition from Queen City Segway Tours is an exciting way to see Charlotte.
Named one of "ten great dates" by Charlotte Magazine, VanLandingham Estate's picnic dinner guarantees an exquisite, elegant evening. Picnic sites are available through the estate's five-acre charming garden and grounds. Upon arrival, you and your romancee will be directed to either a private table or a cushy blanket, with food and wine prepped for romantic consumption in a large picnic basket specially designed to thwart smarter-than-average cartoon bears. This deal comes with the "Simply Southern" meal, so your basket will be overflowing with barbecue pork sandwiches, fresh fruit salad, a green bean, corn & tomato salad, and creamy banana pudding. Also included in the basket are lemonade and a bottle of the red or white house wine. While dining, you and your date can sink into the wildlife beauty of the gardens, with the waterfall's gentle whoosh, and birds singing the score of The Barber of Seville. Couples can also share the evening with the furry friend in their life, as dogs are welcome.
With snowy manes aflutter in the wind and tawny haunches trotting leisurely along paved streets, Bo and Thurmond?the horsepower behind Camel City Carriage Company?dutifully ferry passengers around Winston-Salem?s city center. Piloting Bo and Doc on public and private tours, sisters and company founders Toni Phillips and Gina McClamrock, along with their father, Ron, happily regale passengers with interesting and invented area history as well as recommend restaurants for post-ride feasting. The old-timey carriage?s striped cover shields riders from inclement weather, keeping precipitation and rainbows? ends from infiltrating tours.
Whether you're gliding through the streets on a self-balancing Segway or paddling through scenic waterways on a standup paddleboard, it's easy to unleash your adventurous side with Triad ECO Adventures. Explore historic Winston-Salem atop one of the aforementioned Segways during guided tours that zip through the arts district and observe downtown's wild packs of businessmen in their natural habitat. The company also offers standup paddleboard lessons, which can be enjoyed at three area lakes or during introductory lessons at an indoor pool.
