PATNA: Bihar is likely to face acute power crisis during this summer. NTPC's power plant (200 MW) at Farakka (unit-3) has already been shut down for annual maintenance since April 1 for a period of 35 days.
NTPC's another plant (500 MW) at Kahalgaon in Bhagalpur district is non-functional due to the shortage of coal since April 10. Bihar's lone thermal power station at Barauni in Begusarai district is almost non-operational since March 17. It hardly generates few MWs of power a few days in a month, said an official.
Bihar's joint venture power plant which is currently under renovation and maintenance is closed since November 3, last year. Bihar received a meager -- approximately 1200 MW -- of power on Friday from the Central sector as against its sanctioned allocation of 1,772 MW. In addition, Bihar received 500 MW of power from the open market.
To minimize the impending crisis during summer, the BSEB has purchased additional 500 MW of power from March 01 through power trading agreement.
According to official sources, the BSEB, through mid-term agreement at the rate of Rs 4.41 per unit, got 200 MW power from Ahmedabad-based Adani Powers Limited, one of the largest private sector thermal power producers in the country, from March 1, 2012, and this agreement will be in place till December 31, 2015.
The remaining 300 MW of power, BSEB got it from NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited from March 1, 2012, and will do so till August 31, 2012.
Out of the total availability of approximately 1,700 MW of power, Patna Electric Supply Undertaking (Pesu) has been allocated 500 MW of power to meet its demands. The BSEB has to give additional 365 MW of power to emergency services like the railways, Nepal, border areas, power sub-stations and industries, said BSEB spokesman H R Pandey.
As a result, major parts of Bihar, including Patna, witnessed frequent power cuts during peak evening hours.
Bihar has already sought from the Centre additional 500 MW of power. Bihar has also demanded maximum allocation from the hydel power projects developed in Bhutan by the GOI.
The quality of coal is also a major concern for the power stations. The cost of imported and indigenous coal has increased considerably in the recent years. This has resulted in steep rise in the coal prices.
The BSEB has also signed power purchase agreement for procurement of 450 MW of power from Essar Power ( Jharkhand) Limited. It is expected to commence from July 9, 2014.
"The residents will not have to suffer prolong and frequent power cuts this summer. A new grid sub-station at Sampatchak would also be ready by the end of May," said Pandey.

Before I buy an expensive product, I thoroughly do research because really - who likes to waste money? Lol. I heard a lot of good things about this foundation. I've tried a lot of foundations and this is average at best for me. I love the packaging and the pump. I liked this product at first, but after a while, I started to dread using it. The thing I liked about it is that the coverage is pretty good. It covered my acne scars pretty well with the help of a tiny bit of concealer. To me, this is pretty expensive and I wouldn't repurchase...
I tried to like this foundation but no matter how hard i tried I just couldn't. First of all the shade that matched me best was just too dark. My guy would even tell me that I looked a little off than usual. You know when I guy notices makeup looks bad, then its bad. Also I had tiny little breakouts on my normally great skin. It looked like I was in desperate need of a facial or face scrub. Needless to say I wont be repurchasing

This is by far THE BEST foundation i have ever used!! Normally when i buy a foundation it is too pink or makes my skin look orange! This one is a Perfect Match! (Im Shade 120!) Some people said it was hard to blend but i didn't find that to be a problem but i do use a primer! I really try to use this product sparingly because of its price! 40 dollars in California!! But i think its worth every cent! The pump makes it even better because it is alot more sanitary than pouring it out from a bottle!!! As i said before BEST FOUNDATION EVER!
Excellent product! The color selection is great especially for yellow tone girls. This is my first liquid foundation thats actually suppose to be give a medium coverage however I say it is very buildable. Gives you a dewy finish, so you definitely have to use a powder on top to mattify it!! but if you love that fresh, dewy look, its PERFECT!!!
Looks amazing in photos :D what more does a girl want!
only downside is the price. its ridiculously pricey. $50 in CA!!
This is my HG foundation. 110 is light enough for my supremely pale skin and I'm a real fan of the level of coverage I get without it looking cakey or mask like. My skin is super oily and this stuff lasts all day even when I turn into an oil slick by the end of a long day. I'm still on a search for the perfect complimenting set powder for this.
The only complaint I have is the packaging. While I love the pump for cleanliness, it's VERY deceiving how much product is actually left in the bottle once it stops coming out of the pump. I've starting cracking open the seal and pouring out the foundation onto my hand once I hit the "end" of the bottle. I end up getting weeks more of use with the foundation that is still left inside.
I do love the packaging on this product, because it comes with a pump which is different than most other HE foundations. What I didn't like is a little lengthier; I'm a little bias because I had been using NARS Sheer Glow and loved it, so I'm not sure why I jumped on this bandwagon with the HD foundation.
When I applied it for the first time, I noticed it was fairly difficult to blend, and it was a little more chalky than the NARS foundation I've become so used to. It was also rather difficult to blend anywhere there was hair (fine hairs between my eyebrows, upper lip, peachfuzz on my cheeks) and just got caught up in the hairline and left it streaky.
I decided to test drive it through the day hoping it would calm down with body heat, but it didn't. It actually set EXACTLY how it applied; streaky, chalky and cakey.
I gave it a 2 for price because this foundation was just as pricey as NARS, but didn't nearly meet my expectations for a $40+ foundation.
This is definitely my HG foundation :) There are so many different colours to choose from, so it's easy to find your perfect shade. It is pretty moisturizing so my skin does not go flaky after using it, but for the best results it is better to apply lotion under it first. It makes my face look wonderful in photos, and in person as well. Not to mention, it is very light and makes my face feel like I'm not wearing anything. The cons are that the price is a bit high, and it does not stay on quite well....it only lasts a few hours. I always have to re-apply it which is a drag :(
This foundation makes my face look literally flawless in pictures. I really like this foundation, but I only use for special occasions like a night out clubbing or a night out with the fiancee.
Word to the wise: if full coverage is what you're looking for, this may not be for you. Or at the least, you'll end up layering a lot on. My skintone is a little darker where it's drier (near my jawline) and lighter where it's not dry (my forehead, nose, apple of my cheeks). I tend to match towards the darker part because if I went lighter, I'd get an ashy looking cast in that area. Ick. I was using MAC Studio Sculpt, which is full coverage. Needless to say, I matched towards the dark part and ended up with a face that didn't match my chest at all! I went slightly darker again with this HD foundation, but since the coverage is light to medium (IMO), it blends a lot better into the lighter parts of my face, and you can't really notice the difference. It matches the rest of me a lot better, thank goodness!

I decided that the vintage porch glider and table and chairs needed a new fresh look. As you may know from past posts I love purple. I looked at a ton of shades and then the guy at Lowes said that this color was what I was looking for and that he could do it in the paint that I wanted to use . I got a Valspar oil base paint for metal. It sure is lovely to work with. I would have used Rustoleum but they can't put these colors in it. The table and chairs were stripped and sanded and spray painted by me a few years ago. I was never happy with the finish. The glider was a free be from my neighbor and I had it sandblasted and supposedly powder coated and then I spray painted it lavender. The guy that did it didn't do a very good job but too late now. I really put on a lot of thinner coats this time with the Plum Good. I am so happy with the shiny finish and hope that it will repel the stains from leaves etc as Fall comes. I smile every time I come out the door :) before...from 2011: now: |

What a lovely surprise, I love purple too. It looks just great. |

Oh, I love it. What a great color with the green bushes and the white siding! |
I really like purple, but it wouldn't work with my old Cape in gold white cranberry door and bottle green shutters, but WOW - it sure look fabulous in YOUR yard!!! They looked nice before. but this color is wonderful, and I can see why you smile when you see them. |
Oh how fun - I love it! |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 20:35
Thank you !! I need to re-spray the two plastic stack tables. I usually have a lot of pots of flowers out there so set the whole thing off but with all the traveling we are doing every Summer there is no way to keep them watered. my3dogs....funny ..you are right purple wouldn't go but I have seen your landscape/ river...it is stunning..you don't need any purple ! Ya'll are all sweet ! thank you again. c |
Wonderful color -- so very summery and yummy! |
- Posted by cooperbailey (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 20:52
very cool. Did you have to prime them before using the oil base Valspar? |
Beautiful--great color choice! |
Love it! |
Much better! I like the deeper color even better! Looks terrific. :) If you decide to go even deeper still at some point, you have to check out Elderberry Wine. Scrumptious color. If we had a place to use it here, we would have, in a heartbeat. OMG you would love if! |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 22:04
I don't even care much for purple generally, but those look great! Beautifully done. |
- Posted by lizzie_grow (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 22:26
Ooh...pretty....really pretty!! |
Love it! Such a fun color! Wish I could find a glider locally like that. Have looked but no luck so far. |
That shade really looks great with the brick and greenery! The yellow house in the background doesn't hurt either. Very nice patio area! |
- Posted by desertdance (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 23:31
I like the color! Looks really awesome! But now, cushions should be orange, don't you think? You do need cushions! |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 23:39
That is just fantastic. I have been saying that I am starting to become obsessed with a perfect eggplant/aubergine/purple, and here you have it! Very clever for you to use it on your outdoor furniture like that! |
It looks great!!! |
Love me some plum! All that's lacking is a pot of yellow Daisys for the table! :) I was also going to mention a colorful pillow for the glider, but my outdoor pillow blew away last week and I can't find it anywhere! lol I just hope it doesn't ruin someone's combine in a couple of weeks. :( |
Well that's all kinds of happy! Very pretty. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 7:43
Looks great...all you need to do is pop some coleus into the ground and you can carry the purple into the landscape all summer long.... |
Oh that purple makes me smile! you have such a happy home! Nice work! |
Wonderful color! Just the right amount of unexpected :-) The previous color looks more periwinkle blue--- nice, but the purple looks perfect! |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 8:47
WOW!! How sweet to get up to such great notes from you all ! Talk about a boost to the spirits. I'll answer a couple things. Desertdance: I do need cushions...sigh..but I need new ones out on the front porch more and have done nothing about it. Getting the material and someone to sew as well as upholstering that needs to be done on the old wicker ...seems to hard . I would also like a really small umbrella for that purple table. Haven't seen any that small. Do you sew ?? Make housecalls ??? :) Annie that is a gorgeous coleus. Here is a pic of what the area used to look like every Spring/Summer.. kellie it is a Valspar color. I hope you find just the right one for you ! oakley ..funny...such amazing wind ! I too hope it doesn't get sucked up in a combine ! cat...that is the thing about the oil Valspar...you have to use certain colors as the others won't go in the paint. They have a display and you have to pick from those. I am glad I found one I love !! kswl..the glider had really faded. Another reason for using a brush and oil paint. I hope this lasts but I have a lot left LOL !! marylu I saw 2 different yards in our neighborhood with almost the same old glider and table and chairs...all needed love and attn. Perhaps I need to make a midnight trip and get them for you !!! roarah.what a sweet thing to say..thank you ! arlosmom...thank you ! thank you mel ! snookums, lizzie and bronwynsmom..thank you !! I didn't realize about the yellow house...but it does make a nice background. bronwynsmom..it is amazing but if you think about it there isn't anything that purple doesn't go with..it is almost a garden neutral ! anitamo, WMA and teacats...thank you !! Sue ..no I just did a through cleaning and that was enough. I think that if there is loose paint or rust they suggest sanding and cleaning and priming. In the pics you can't tell but there is a fair amount of paint on the table and chairs. I really would love to splurge and have them sandblasted but would need to pay big bucks and find someone that is more reliable than the last guy. The paint was intact on the glider. It is lovely paint to work with. c |

Mmmmmmm. Luscious color! |
How lovely! There is a farm down the road from me that I always admire when I drive by. It has a wildflower garden with plum painted furniture too. |
Oooh, so pretty. I just love your garden too, makes me want to go sit and read a book out there. |
I love the fun pops of color it makes. I might must get as brave as you and do a little outside fun colored furnature painting. ( I keep chickening out ) Is it still early in the year where your at?The ground still looks pretty barren. |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 14:17
thanks kd ! dee...next time you go by there take a pic ! thank you! marti that is exactly what I do :) thank you ! madeyna...no the plantings up close to the patio are what you are seeing...all very small as I re-did them last year. Hydrangeas and 2 rose bushes along there. Behind the glider is lush with plantings...also we have tree roots which suck the life out of everything after a time. I have had to replant the area back there every year since 2007...I am pretty tired of that LOL ! Glad you like the colors...post pics of yours when you do them ! c |
I,m thinking bright orange . Husbands thinking not;) I just planted 30 hydrangeas under some large trees . I am hoping the water sucking thing doesn,t happen here. I live in the northwest though so we do have plenty of rain to go around. |
I LOVE YOUR NEW COLOR! I liked the set before, but this makes me smile as I am a purple loving Irish girl :-) Your house and yard are so lovely to look at. |
- Posted by desert_solitaire (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 19:34
love your vintage glider!!!!! my MIL had one EXACTLY like yours and seeing it again brings back such wonderful memories.... those gliders were the bomb! i would pay a pretty penny just to find another one in good condition! fantastic job, trailrunner! |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 20:26
thank you irish ! You gotta love purple..it is just so perfect :) desert..thank you for telling me that ! I am so glad you enjoyed the pics and have such sweet memories. I would love to have my Grandmother's wonderful porch glider and chairs and footstool and coffee table. It was all on a glass porch in OH. All done in the loveliest chintz you ever saw...I am sure my parents gave it to the junk man ..sigh. It was worth a fortune now. Keep looking and I know you will find one..there are a lot of them around here. c |
- Posted by outsideplaying (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 21:25
It's so great and I love it! Perfect! I can see yellow, just like the purple and yellow coleus Annie posted. I'm thinking of a big Georgia O'Keefe painting I've seen somewhere with those colors. That glider is THE BOMB!! |
Love it! Purple is my favorite color. |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 22:06
outsideplaying...I have some yellow paint and some bright blue. Those old windows on the wall of the little house need shutters and paint...I think you are inspiring me !! Thank you for your enthusiasm !! thank you texan ! mine too. c |
Just saw this and had to add my "love it" to the others. Just a great look and a great play of color with all the greens and other colors. How fun! |
- Posted by allison0704 (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 13:14
Love the new color! |
Love it! We also have a vintage glider and the pattern looks like your chairs. I also have a chair, but I think the pattern is more like your glider - haha ours are reversed! Ours are painted dark hunter green and my husband sprayed them (he has access to a paint booth) with auto paint. They have held up great! I have table, chairs and chaise in wrought iron - matching color. I don't use a pad on my glider either (it's comfy as is), but do use pillows. My husband has been known to fall asleep on the glider LOL. tina |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 13:47
Thank you for chiming in lascatx ! I moved around some pots this am and it certainly is pretty after all the rain :) Thank you allison !! tina that is so funny ! Please post pics..I am sure everyone would love to see. I know I would . I sure wish I could have gotten my auto repair guy to do it for me..he is just to busy and has stopped all painting but car repairs. May have to make a road trip to see you ! You are right it is all very comfy without pads..need to look at throw pillows just for the fun element :) I have table 4 chairs and 2 chaise also in dark green wrought iron. I sprayed them a few years ago and they have held up very well. I do use cushions on them..they really need it . I still need a new umbrella sigh...c |
- Posted by tuesday_2008 (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 18:38
I loved the old paint job when you showed it a couple of years ago and love the new purple even better! It is perfect for your grounds. I have a couple of very old chairs that I need to refurbish, but I can't find anyone with a sandblaster. Did you have all the pieces sandblasted? Is it possible to sand/strip these types of old chair by hand? I really need to get mine finished. |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 20:46
Hey Tuesday..I stripped the table and chairs by hand..it is a bear of a job ! I used my electric palm sander with some sand paper I got at the automotive shop and then I used gel stripper. I got a lot off but wow..it is a horrible job. The glider was sandblasted and then given a gray base coat. He was not cheap..$150 and after a couple years the rust is back in some places and I can see where he did a poor job when I turn it upside down. He was in a hurry..sigh. I am hoping that with the multiple coats of this great new Valspar paint that I have it under control. When I look back at the pics of it when I got it I should have just painted it myself. It only had the original cream on it...sigh...would have been way cheaper and done better than letting him at it. So my suggestion is to be sure the person you get is going to do a great job or else sand and strip as well as you can and then get a gallon of the Valspar oil base paint for metal. They only tint a gallon. Good Luck and let me know if I can help...uh...LOL..with advice :) Here is a pic of the chairs when I was stripping it years ago...ugh.. this is how they looked when I bought them...a layer of black undercoating over all the old paint..uhg.. this is after sanding and stripping... this is how they looked in 2009 when I finished..not bad and I used spray paint by Rustoleum...they faded over the 4 years so I am hopeful the Valspar will be better. |

Wow! Great job and I love your color choice! |
- Posted by tuesday_2008 (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 12:38
Thanks for the info! If YOU (our energetic Trailrunner) say it is a "bear of a job" I will probably save this project for my retirement days! I don't seem to have half the energy you have:). |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 12:49
haha tuesday ! Post a pic and let's see what you have to work with. Are they metal ? I would love to see your chairs. A mask and a good sander ....post a pic ! c |
- Posted by powermuffin (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 13:03
Love them! They are so much fun! I really like your brick patio too. Our cottage has purple trim, a bit more sedate, so I sprayed our patio table purple (not sedate) too. I also painted a couple of benches purple. Love purple in the garden! |

If you're like many of our guests, you may enjoy learning a bit about the history of the places where you vacation. Read the overview below, ask as many questions as you want during your visit, and notice the many rare photographs hanging on the walls at the Winnetu Hotel and Mattakeset Properties.
Mattakesett Properties
Mattakesett was built in 1968 by Stanmar, Inc. and the Snider family. The name "Mattakesett" is a tribute to the original Mattakeset Lodge (Note only the one "t") that flourished between 1874 and 1905 – and was located not far away from the present site.
The original Lodge was popular for its clambakes, dances under the stars and, most importantly, its uniquely south-facing location by the sea that was consistently cooled by the gentle sea breezes during the heat of summer.
Winnetu Evolution | Railroad Map |
Advertising poster and railroad map, circa 1890. Click images to enlarge.
Before the days of air conditioning, there was no more enjoyable place to be than the old Mattakeset Lodge. Not much has changed since then! Portions of the old lodge still stand today in Edgartown (see photo, above).
To accommodate the demands of its day, a narrow-gauge railroad was built, connecting the Oak Bluffs Steamship Wharf (same location as today) with Edgartown – and then out to Katama and the Mattakeset Lodge and South Beach. The South Beach rail stop was at the same site as today's Winnetu Hotel. The railroad ended service in 1892 – a victim of poor management and washouts from storms.
Winnetu Oceanside Resort
The Winnetu Hotel opened on June 29, 2000. It was carefully designed to reflect both the Vineyard's late nineteenth century, shingle-style character, and also provide all the modern conveniences guests expect today.
In addition to being the site of the old railroad beach stop, this spot also served as a Naval air and sea base during World War II. After the war, the base was converted to a hotel; a.k.a., the"Katama Shores Motor Inn." The old hotel was removed in 1999 to make way for today's Winnetu Hotel.
Both Mattakesett Properties and the Winnetu Hotel (a.k.a., "Winnetu Oceanside Resort") continue under the ownership and management of the Snider family.
Please take a few moments to read the historic marker outside the entrance to Lure Grill at the Winnetu Hotel. There are some interesting stories to read, such as the one depicting an aerial practice run during World War II, from the naval base, which accidentally dropped a bomb on a neighbor's house!
Winnetu Oceanside Resort is the quintessential Martha's Vineyard Resort at spectacular South Beach, Edgartown, offering both Martha's Vineyard hotel accommodation and Martha's Vineyard vacation rentals. As one of the Island's leading resorts, our range of resort activities is extensive - Winnetu is your ideal vacation destination.

Curious about three separate plants I have in containers right now: Raspberry: I am unsure what is causing this entire section of the plant to die out. The rest of the plant is not affected. (I've tried to capture the issue in these photos) http://img836.imageshack.us/i/img0572b.jpg/
Blackberry: experiencing this red/burn around the bottom leaves. Is this something natural? http://img196.imageshack.us/i/img0576ac.jpg/
Cayenne Pepper: The pepper have remained this size for about 3-4 weeks. When should I expect them to turn red (as indicated they would). Is it ok that the leaves are turning yellow-ish? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/img0575ns.jpg/ Many Thanks: |

In order for the others to help you, they will need more info on your growing methods. What type of soil are your plants in? JoJo |
Potting Mix (About 4 months ago) Jungle Growth and Miracle-Gro. Ample drainage. Watering based on finger-test. Mainly filtered tap water, but as with Florida, slightly higher chlorine levels. Making attempts to switch to rain water. Direct sunlight 6+ hours a day. Morning - afternoon. Some shade provided late afternoon due to shadow from house. Light fertilizer (Organic water-soluable nitrogen), less than recommended mixed in with watering, but have only done so twice as the potting mix indicates it will feed up to 3 months. I did add some powdered eggshells a month ago, but not that much, Hope this info helps. |

VTA joins social network for neighborhoods 01/24/2015 The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has joined with private social network Nextdoor to clue in residents as to what is going on with the county's public transportation provider. VTA plans to use Nextdoor to share information and gather public input. 01/23/2015 - Officials have scheduled the first community meeting for the approved affordable housing structure on Park Avenue, near Diridon Station in San Jose.
01/21/2015 - Isidiro Omar Gomez may have been homeless, but he had a network of friends who helped raise the money for a 'proper and dignified' burial after Gomez died on Christmas Eve.
01/21/2015 - Officials have scheduled the first community meeting for the approved affordable housing structure on Park Avenue, near Diridon Station in San Jose.
01/21/2015 - A community meeting to discuss a long-term plan to improve and maintain Almaden Expressway has been scheduled for Feb. 12 at the Almaden Community Center. Almaden is one of five expressways in the county that are slated for upgrades and improvements as part of the Expressway Plan 2040.
01/21/2015 - Longtime Almaden resident Matt Kamkar has resigned from the San Jose Planning Commission to work as a senior council assistant for recently elected District 1 Councilman Charles 'Chappie' Jones. The council is seeking applicants to fill the vacancy on the planning commission.
01/21/2015 - There's still a lot of soccer left to be played before the Leland and Santa Teresa boys collide on Feb. 3, but the way things have been shaping up so far, that game should have a direct impact on the championship in the Santa Teresa Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic League.
01/21/2015 - Every coach in the history of sports has told their players that nothing is over until that final whistle blows, and the Lincoln boys basketball team just gave Sobrato a refresher course in that theory.
01/21/2015 - Leland's Josh Kim caught fire last week, and the boys on the Prospect basketball team just couldn't put him out. The 6-foot-2 senior forward led Leland with 21 points in the 68-50 victory over Prospect on Jan. 16 to maintain Leland's undefeated record in the Mt. Hamilton Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic League.

and what crossbreeds do you plan . |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a lot of hybrid vitis grapes in my garden. Have mostly crossed American Species with Vinifera Muscats, but also have some really exotic crosses, Like Rupestris x Cordifolia hybrid, crossed with vitis Caribaea, as well as a hybrid of ES 2 4 7 x Vitis Coignetiae. Have a lot of extra seeds I could share from these crosses. |
I'll be doing a bucnh of test crosses among about 5 lines of peppers, both hot and sweet, focusing on early maturity and yield. I also plan to cross a couple of snap peas and butternut squash, focusing on gourmet quality. |
- Posted by Walter_Pickett 5-6 KS (My Page) on Mon, Feb 2, 04 at 11:40
I am working on a 7-week sweet corn, a squashbug resistant Butternut squash, a day-neutral chiltipine (wild pepper, a mild chiltipine, inbreeding Elberta peach, recurrant selection in strawberries, and hope to get some apple breeding (and eating) stock this year. Walter |

I'm crossing in every combination, 20 varieties of tomatoes this year. Next year, I plan on crossing another 20 different varieties of tomatoes, while I work on selecting and further crossing this year's offspring. My intent is to create incompletely stabilized varieties by making non-inbred selections, which will then be hand pollinated. Yes, I do have some specific goals in mind. One is to create a series of "Marianna's Peace" hybrids that are early enough to grow in zone 3. (Late varieties do yield fruit here, but we're lucky to get 2 or 3 ripe tomatoes from them before frost hits, and not everyone has cold-frame technology). I am trying several ways to get an early Marianna's Peace. I also want to try to improve that pretty "Basinga" both with and without hybridizing. Multiple single specific character trait selections, at least 8 of them, with strict dual-best-plant selections in each of the 8 lineages, along with trying to remove what looks to me like "inbreeding-depression" by neighbor-plant, same-variety cross pollination just might make this pretty little tomato earlier. (Among all the selections, I intend to have one duo set be the taste-test winner, mainly by being the most similar to the original. Bias on the part of my hedonistic taste testing friends, well... oh well. Would that count as part of regional bias? After all, what I want to do is make some of those late crop varieties available to this fickle part of zone 3, and the local humans here belong as part of zone 3 too!) I have many more intentions, and am sure some will show themselves to me as I grow them out next year. Side question about "Hillbilly": Seems like every catalog describes it differently. Can anyone recall what Hillbilly tomato was like years ago? I also will be crossing 3 kinds of melons this year, again, selecting for what will ripen here, and for flavor. For these, I will be the sole taste tester, unless some two legged varmints get to them first. (Can table salt really be put into shotgun shells? KIDDING!) At any rate, nobody I have 3 kinds of watermelon to cross also. I admit it will be an absolute miracle if I can get even one to ripen, but I will use every trick I can think of or discover. Meantime, does anyone know where I can find wild african watermelon seed? Somewhere on the internet I saw a photo of a green and black one shaped kind of like a hubbard or cushaw squash, and it had bumpy skin. Wild African watermelon input just might do the trick. I also plan on crossing 5 heirloom pole dry beans this year for my own purposes. The descendents of the five I cross this year will all be crossed with some of the larger-plant varieties of bush dry beans next year. I want to create a series of non-runner, very vigorous and large bush dry bean varieties to plant in my 4' by 18' framed raised beds, along the long north lengths of each bed of melon for wind breaks. The vigorous and diverse dry pole beans will, as always, be planted to grow up my tomato cages. Beans are so good for soil!!! Wish I had a hundred pounds of innocculant. Marshall Smyth |
Wow Marshall. I am edibreeding too, dehybridizing 'Winterbor' kale, trying to get my sweetpotato collection to flower:-), and I am getting Sandwich-slice squash to select for adaption down here in GA ;-);-):-). The rest of my garden is going to make the money to sustain such crosses. Billy |
I forgot the Mutant Jerusalem artichoke with large tubers. |
I've also crossed some fall bearing Raspberries to the Korean wineberry and have about 7 bearing plants now, five of which are fall bearing as well. Would love to cross Tayberry to Sylvan or some such hybrid. |
Wondered if anyone else has plans to make crosses amongst the blackberries and hybrids. I recently was told that Kotata berry, Sylvan berry and Tayberry are all hexaploid, so I think the chances of a viable cross with them is good. I want to cross tayberry x Kotata this season and welcome any tech. advice as to when is the best time and such. |
I don't have any expert advice on brambles to offer, so this may seem elementary. Careful timing of such a cross is more important if you're working with different ploidies or if one parent is better used for pollen or seed only (therefore it probably doesn't apply to a hex x hex hybrid berry cross). Different bloom times may dictate the direction of the cross unless you want to store pollen frozen; if the bloom overlaps you can easily perform the cross both ways. Depending on how much faith you put in the source of your information about ploidy, you might want to try the cross both ways regardless in case they don't actually have the same chromosome number. If one direction takes but the other doesn't, it might indicate that they are in fact different. I'm not exactly sure how it works in the genus Rubus, but with some plants if you end up with a pentaploid (from tet x hex) you could have some fertility problems in the first generation offspring. I like Rubus quite a bit and began experimenting with some crosses last summer, but have done little more than learn from a few of my mistakes so far. It's been fun! |

Welcome to the fantasy world of Glorantha at Glorantha.com, the place on the web to experience the richness and wonder of Greg Stafford's Glorantha. This is nexus of Gloranthan activities regardless of whatever rules system you use.
Welcome to the fantasy world of Glorantha at Glorantha.com, the place on the web to experience the richness and wonder of Greg Stafford's Glorantha. This is nexus of Gloranthan activities regardless of whatever rules system you use. Books are a big deal for the Moon Design team – not just RPGs and fantasy literature, but history, mythology, religion, and classics of literature. You might have noticed that the Guide to Glorantha and HeroQuest Glorantha have bibliographies of sources and suggested resources. We're going to be expanding on that in our new Gloranthan Readings page. For the time being, books are organized by Classics, Reference Books, Epics and Sagas, and Fantasy. We'll have a short synopsis of a book, why we think it is worth your time to read, and even a link to Amazon so you can buy it (if you don't already have it). You can even suggest books to add to this list – if I haven't read it, I'll put it on the stack. Every week or so, we'll add another book with a synopsis and a few comments. First up, of course, are the books we've already recommended, but we'll adding to that list soon enough. First on the list is Herodotus, "The Histories". Seriously, if you haven't read Herodotus you owe it to yourself as a literate person to stop what you are doing and get it. Now. Herodotus wrote the first history book – an account of the wars between the Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta against the Persian Empire, written from the perspective of an educated Greek in the 5th Century BC. The Histories serves as a Greek sourcebook for Persia, Babylon, Egypt, Scythia – even India! For Glorantha-philes, there's a tremendous amount of inspiration here. The roots of the story of Sartar against the Lunar Empire isn't "Braveheart", they are the Persian Wars. Like a good Gloranthan, when Herodotus wants to get down the ultimate cause of the conflict, he goes to mythology and the Trojan War. Like a good God Learner or Arkati, he discusses the religion of other peoples within the constructs of Greek mythology. Seriously, click on the link to Amazon and just buy it, and then read it. Click The Histories, Revised (Penguin Classics) to check it out on Amazon.com. So why don't you go over to Gloranthan Readings and check out what we've got up? We are also enabling Comments on blog posts now [Neil: or trying to] so you can do the discussion directly on the site like we do with Prince of Sartar. In Glorantha, synchronicity is the rule. Events that are meaningfully related occur without a causal relationship. Argrath sails to the Homeward Ocean and meets Harrek the Berserk; Argrath befriends Mularik, a descendant of Arkat who recognizes Argrath as the incarnation of his ancestor; Harrek and Argrath show up in the Mirrorsea Bay just in time to fight the Lunars in Esrolia. These are not mere expressions of chance or random coincidences – they are meaningful coincidences, synchronicities. Perhaps they express the will of Arachne Solara, the Cosmic Spider whose web holds the universe together. Jung would rightfully object to the misuse of his term synchronicity – for in Glorantha, these "coincidences" have a cause in the patterns established in the God Time. Frayed and rent as it is with the Hero Wars, the Compromise seeks to reassert itself. Calling upon the power of a Rune* can summon both ancient enemies and allies of that Rune. Using that Rune may well trigger seemingly unrelated connected to conflict from the Gods War. The more powerful the use, the more powerful the event triggered. Heroquesters thus find rivals and friends drawn into their quests; Nysalor results in Arkat; Jar-eel in Harrek (or perhaps Argrath). Perhaps these are not coincidences but part of the Cosmic Spider's web that mortals and even gods find it difficult to perceive. *It is generally believed in Glorantha that the Runes pre-exist mortals (and many believe they pre-exist the gods) and were not invented. They are not only concepts but autonomous entities which are more than concepts or symbols. The magicians of the Sartar Magical Union are popularly called "warlocks" after a derisive comment by the Lunar general who opposed them at the Battle of Sword Hill. They have been taught techniques to wield great magical power through meditation and other strenuous disciplines. They include men and women in roughly equal measures, as well as a substantial minority not so easily classified, far more than in the surrounding population.
Argrath has taught them to perceive a higher consciousness through their inner eye; these teachings are very similar to those Arkat taught his companions but include some element of draconic communication.
The meditative disciplines practiced by Argrath's warlocks include dance, chants, breathing techniques, postures, and other rites. Some rites include elements of Auld Wyrmish, both spoken and danced. The warlocks belong to other cults as well as that of the magical regiment; Lightbringer cults predominate, but some warlocks are Malkioni, shamans, and even Lunar cultists. Argrath's magic uses an eldritch blend of Arkati secrets, Praxian shamanism, God Learner theory, draconic mysticism, and even Lunar illumination, combined with more traditional cult practices. The magicians in most units come from a variety of different magical backgrounds and cults; by using Argrath's teachings they can summon their collective over-soul (wyter). To do this, the magicians perform arduous disciplines, which can take the form of meditation, austerities, chants, ecstatic dance, and even sex, to achieve a higher consciousness and unshakeable focus. This technique is sometimes called "egg hatching" or "hatching and birth" and is analogized with the labor every mother puts in delivering her baby. While performing their collective rites, the magicians are physically defenseless and must be defended by bodyguards.
Many commoners suspect the warlocks are Argrath's bonded tricksters (and a substantial number are in fact Eurmal cultists). The warlocks are widely feared, and their cryptic and often transgressive words and deeds do not endear them to the superstitious. They are none-the-less under the direct protection of the Prince, who favors them greatly.
The languages of all Gloranthan mortals developed from a single source, which the God Learners called "Mortal Speech". Mortal SpeechRunic SpeechElder Races speechA few thoughts on the elite of the Lunar nobility. The highest nobility are those who are within two or three generations of the Red Emperor. So a few numbers to see what that pool might look like. Since 1460 (say 160 years ago), there have been ten masks of the Red Emperor. Before that, the Red Emperor had existed 1250 to 1449 (about 200 years) and had fathered at least a 100 children. Some of these children and their families were recognized by Magnificus during the restoration of the Empire after 1460. Many others had been destroyed by Sheng Seleris or had rejected their birthright to survive in the Celestial Empire.
So let's assume in 1460 there were 20 "Lunar Imperial Nobility families" that had survived Sheng Seleris. This includes Hon-eel, some of the priestly lineages (possibly House Assiday), and many of the families that have rights to travel on the Silver Bridge. These are the Old Nobility with the most status (although not necessarily the most powerful.
In the last 160 years, there have been 10 Masks of the Red Emperor. The Emperor typically maintains several consorts and concubines. Some (like Magnificus, Robustus, and Militaris) many; some (like Artifex, Celestinus, and Reclusus) very few. Let's say on average, each Mask sire one child a year. That's a 160 direct descendants. Each is the founder of an imperial lineage (with a few weird and powerful exceptions like the Tharkalists).
By now, the "average" imperial lineage is 4 generations old, with about 300(!) descended from the founder. That means the New Lunar Nobility probably numbers about 45,000 people (!).
For comparison, that's about three times the size of the modern Saudia royal family. Like that, power and status is concentrated in about 2,000 to 6,000 individuals, who probably include:
1. All the satraps
2. All the Provincial Kings
3. Most of the Imperial bureaucracy
4. The entire Full Moon Corps
5. Most of the important priesthoods
6. All the Masks of the Red Emperor
In fact, in the Lunar Heartlands, it might be difficult to find someone of power who isn't part of the extended imperial family (this is at its most extreme in the Silver Satrapy and probably at its least extreme in Sylila).
We are entering the end-game of the Kickstarter for 13th Age in Glorantha and the Gloranthan Sourcebook. As of the time of this post, we have about 47 hours left and are less than $2000 away from raising $100k! If you haven't already, now is your chance to pledge at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/416625372/13th-age-in-glorantha and reserve your copies of both 13th Age in Glorantha and the Gloranthan Sourcebook. Plus much more! We've already unlocked the Lunar College of Magic and are inches away from unlocking the Sartar Magical Union! Now is the time! Don't disappoint Gagix Two-barb the Scorpion Queen of Jab! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/416625372/13th-age-in-glorantha What defines a magical battalion as a military unit in Glorantha? It is not raw magical power or heroic status of the individuals in the unit; Prince Argrath and his companions posses more raw magical power than a full battalion of the Major Class, and demigods like Harrek the Berserk or Jar-eel the Razoress are beyond the ability of such magicians to even attack. The magical battalions of the Lunar College Magic (and later of the Sartar Magical Union) consist of 50 to 250 magicians (priests, sorcerers, shamans, devotees, etc) who are trained to coordinate their activities to create a magical effect beyond the sum of the individual members. In the Lunar Empire these are standing organizations operating under the authority of the Red Emperor. In Sartar, these are secret magical societies that cross often tribal boundaries but are allied with Prince Argrath. Typically, a magical battalion summons a manifestation of their collective divinity – sometimes conceived of as an "over-soul" or wyter, sometimes as the patron deity of the battalion. For purposes of convenience, we'll call it the battalion wyter (an Orlanthi term not used by the Lunars). The battalion wyter is capable of acting a considerable distance from the magicians of the battalion – normally between 20 and 30 miles, although some battalions are capable of projecting their wyter as far as 60 miles or more. The battalion wyter manifests itself differently depending on the battalion. The wyter of the Eaglebrown Warlocks was described as a "great brownish eagle with two curling horns, which pulls together clouds with its wingbeats, peals of thunder with its wings clapping, sheet lightning from its eyes when it blinks, and casts down lightning bolts from its feet." The wyter of the Spell Archers was described as a huge fiery spear cast down from the heavens. The wyter of the Crater Makers is a manifestation of the Red Goddess who hurls down rocks from the heavens! What is common with each of these magical wyters is their ability to cause damage and havoc among enemy soldiers. An Irrippi Ontor sage once estimated that the wyter of any battalion of the Lunar College of Magic had approximately the same destructive capacity as a regiment of soldiers from the Heartland Corps. The difference was that it could attack from many miles away and was rarely itself able to be directly attacked. |

Sorry to be starting a thread about this, but I can't find where Ms Glass and I had a conversation about leather edging. She kindly pointed me towards a nylon wheel with a groove in the edge. You can stick a 1/4" bolt through the hole in the middle, run a nut down on it, chuck it into a drill and spin it on the edge of your piece (after anointing with beeswax) and produce a nice burnished edge. Only problem is that they only seem to make one size of this item (about 1/4"), so if your leather is thicker or doubled you're SOL. However, my wife, The Lovely Mrs Freefall, said "Looks like a pulley wheel." Voilas! Went to AIH, bought 3 pulleys of different width- 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2. Removed the pins, stuck appropriate screws and nuts through the center, working great. Spent about $10 on all the crapola, but I'm very happy with the outcome. If I wasn't such a techno-tard I'd post pics. Someday I'll get my neighbor kid to take me by my little hand and do it. Anyways, hope this helps somebody, and thanks again Glass!

Great idea. You obviously married up.
Yah, she's the best thing ever happened to me. But don't tell her I said so.
No sweat. Don't tell mine either.
Did you tell them, Winds?
Yup, bet she did. It's that woman voodoo telegraph thing.

In the 1930s, big bands and lauded musicians played a famous bar called Weilers and would one day become Memories Dinner Theater. The music bounced off the very same 2,500-square-foot maple dance floor, tamarack log ceiling, and twin stone fireplaces that remain today, though Memories has since expanded its entertainment options beyond song and dance.
As guests feast on three-course meals, the theater's roster of top-notch actors tackle dramas, musicals, audience-interactive murder mysteries, and comedies. The laughs continue on Chicken Comedy nights, when funnyman Rob Haswell hosts renowned comedians whose jokes keep diners chortling in between bites not of rubber, but of broasted chicken and food from an unlimited buffet.
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction and demonstrations.
For the students of To The Pointe Performing Arts, no dance step is just a dance step. Because the school follows a holistic approach to learning dance, every step comes with a bounty of knowledge—its place in the style, its cultural origin, the muscle movements it requires, and the discipline required to master it. Whether they're 6-year-olds encountering their first tap shoes or high-school students refining their skills in Russian ballet technique, the team of experienced dance instructors make it their business to forge not only great dancers but educated citizens of the world. In addition to youth classes, the studio also offers DanceFit and tap classes for adult students.
In 1947, on New York City's Park Avenue, the first Fred Astaire Dance Studio—cofounded by the eponymous toe tapper himself—opened its doors to the public. More than six decades later, now boasting schools across North America, the dancing institution still adheres to the legendary Mr. Astaire's curriculum and instruction techniques.
Specializing in social ballroom and competitive dances, the schools' current consortium of professional instructors shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through dance lessons that span from classic ballroom and foxtrot romps to the modern steps of salsa, swing, or mambo. In addition to classes, the studio hosts social practice parties where up to 40 students hone newly acquired rug-cutting capabilities. As foot-charming music blares from the speakers, instructors work to cultivate a lively social setting where each guest can dance, mingle, and surgically correct their second left foot without fear of embarrassment.
First Stage recently celebrated its 26th anniversary as a children's theater, producing professional productions and developing new plays. It has hosted 40 world premieres and worked with renowned artists and authors including Stephen Schwartz and Cornelia Funke.
Through its theater academy and education program, First Stage aims to inspire a love of learning amongst young people with active teaching tools and a curriculum that emphasizes imagination. The theater-in-education programs reach roughly 20,000 students every year through theater residencies and in-classroom workshops such as the Bully Ban workshop, which teaches students how to respect one another and prevent harassment through improvisational exercises. Schools can also partner with First Stage to bring the arts into their facilities with field trips, workshops, and arts-integrated teaching.
Until science allows customized breezes to play concertos through trees and tuned blades of grass, people must fetch their concertos from live musicians. Today's Groupon sings to the ears with premium orchestra-seat tickets to Ohlsson Plays Chopin by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra for $20, a $57 value. In two performance dates at the stunning Uihlein Hall on Friday, April 2, and Saturday, April 3, at 8 p.m., pianist Garrick Ohlsson will capture and tame Frédéric Chopin's famous Piano Concerto No. 2 and two other solo piano pieces in celebration of Chopin's 200th birthday.

Additional Tweaks
So far, we have covered the art of overclocking in a very broad scope. While the concepts are solid, not every system was created equal. This section will give you some ideas as to how to create a more stable environment for your stressed system components. And remember, overclocking is a matter of trial and error. Sometimes the settings you use will work like a champ and sometimes they will just make you look like a chump. Never be afraid to experiment, but be prepared for the possible consequences if it fails. And make sure that you are intimately familiar with one setting in particular...CMOS Reset! If you don't know how to reset the default CMOS values, then stop right now and find out. This will save you a world of trouble when you finally lock down the entire system. And rest assured, if you do any real pushing of your system, you WILL lock down the system. By knowing how to reset the CMOS values up front, you won't be caught by surprise when you hit the reset button and the system just gives you a blank screen and no hardware activity.
Special note: Since this is where you are likely to start playing with settings, I will remind you of the disclaimer located on Page 1 of this guide. Though slight, there is a risk of doing irreparable damage to your components. You are now entering an area that enthusiasts willingly travel, but please understand that you may be shopping later on for replacement components.
We'll start right off with one of the most important facets of the enthusiast system; cooling. Though not a tweak per se, it is vital that you have sufficient cooling in place for the entire system. Without this element at the beginning, you are doomed for failure in regards to the best possible performance of your system as a whole. Three main areas need mention and they include processor cooling, case cooling and video card cooling.
- Processor Cooling
If you have frequented TweakTown for any length of time, then you will certainly have seen numerous reviews for Heatsink/Fan (HSF) units. This is the component that attaches directly to the processor to aid in the removal of heat. This heat is produced naturally while the processor is busy crunching those numbers and churning that data, but it produces even more heat when overclocked. A quality HSF is essential in an overclocked system. There are many varieties from a huge amount of manufacturers to choose from. And while the debate is still ongoing about which is the best, the bottom line is that as long as your choice is able to remove the heat produced, then it is working as well as can be expected.
Just for reference sake, I will list some of the higher echelon coolers to give you a starting place for your search. Some of these coolers include the Alpha PAL8045, Swiftech MCX462, Thermalright SLK-800 and Thermaltake Volcano 7+. This isn't an all-inclusive list by any means, but it should give you a starting place for your cooling research.
Something else to consider is Thermal Interface Material (TIM), also referred to as goop by many. This is the stuff that goes between the processor and the heatsink to fill in any irregularities between the two metal surfaces. Without getting into a discussion on the concepts of cooling, let's just say that it is suicide to install a heatsink without any TIM. I can almost assure you that you'll be in the market for a new processor in the very near future. Good compounds to consider are Arctic Silver III and Evergreen Technologies TherMagic.
- Case Cooling
I have had several people ask me why they get poor temperature readings after they went out and bought a top of the line heatsink. Nearly every time that I have been asked about this, the reasoning was inadequate case cooling. After all, the world's best heatsink can't do squat if all it has to work with is hot air!
This is where case cooling comes into play. The best results are usually seen when you allow for the natural rising of heated air. If you have intake fans placed toward the lower/front portion of the case and exhausts placed in the upper/rear portions, then you allow for nature to do part of the work for you. It is also a good idea to have the same general amount of exhaust as you have intake. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, but should be at least close. This gives the HSF on the processor plenty of nice, cool air to work with while dispelling the heat.
- Video Card Cooling
Now why in the world would I mention video card cooling in an overclocking guide? Because the video card is likely the second highest heat producer in your system (particularly the nVidia based cards). Since heat is our sworn enemy, we need to try to eliminate as much of this element as possible to get the best results we can.
Most modern video cards will already have some sort of active cooling installed when you purchase it. By active cooling, I refer to the use of electrical fans and not just the use of a metal heatsink device. Many of these cooling solutions will work just fine, but if you decide that an upgrade is in order, then you'll find several around. Thermaltake seems to have most of the market cornered where video card cooling is concerned, so you won't go wrong with either a Crystal Orb or the G4-VGA coolers.
One point to remember is that the GeForce3 series and GeForce4 series video boards have different pin layouts for the fans. Double check the video card cooler you're looking at and make sure it is for your particular video card.

Today, the magazine is launching GQ Rules, a 30-day online program where GQ editors Glenn O'Brien, Jim Moore and Adam Rapoport will provide style tips via written anecdotes and short video clips. And there's an incentive for men to log on: sweepstakes. GQ will give away daily prizes from Clinique Men and Bluefly.com, while one guy can win a trip for two to New York, a $25,000 wardrobe from Corneliani, and an appearance in the magazine's pages. Men can still appear on the Web site if they do not win the grand prize; a photo upload feature allows users to upload their own pictures showing how they've applied the style tips. The program will run through the end of the year.

We mow about 2.5 acres and currently have a cub cadet z-force 60 inch zero turn mower. It takes about 1.5 hours to mow. There are only about 8 trees and 2 sheds to mow around. The zero turn is so rio ugh if a ride that it hurts my back and neck after mowing about 30 minutes. I am thinking that a regular garden tractor would be more comfortable but this is the only mower I've owned so I don't know. Am thinking of selling mine and buying a regular lawn tractor if it would increase the comfort and not add too much time to mowing. -how long would it take to mow with a good lawn tractor and 48-52inch deck? Some are listed at 7 mph which is the same as my zero turn -is a lawn tractor gong to be more comfortable on uneven/rough terrain? -my cub has a 23hp Kawasaki engine and only 196 hours. It is a few years old but it good shape. How much do you think I could sale it for? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
IMO the LT will be about 1/3 slower Even though the LT will go 7 mph I dough you will be able to mow that fast? Why not look into air ride seat for you Zero turn? IMO you will really take hit on the Zero turn if you attempt to sell it. See what others have to say? |

Salem's girls survived against a strong push from a promising Newton team with a bright future, but Newton's boys dealt the Seminoles their second loss of the season.
Newton, both the girls and the boys, got convincing victories over county rival Eastside. The girls started it off with a 76-51 victory and the boys followed it up by winning 57-43.
The Covington News and The Rockdale News have once again transcended county lines to bring you the third annual Newton County-Rockdale County All-Area Football Team.
With 1:28 on the clock in the first quarter against Salem, Newton point guard Precious Price squared up and released a shot she'd taken hundreds, if not thousands, of times before.
Newton guard D.J. Hill put the rest of the region on notice Friday night against cross-county rival Salem, dazzling fans with highlight plays and blinding speed on his way to a career-high 19 points in a 72-45 blowout.
The Salem girls' varsity basketball team rebounded well after its first loss of the season Tuesday, outlasting Newton 57-55 on the road in the Lady Rams' third game in four nights.
Newton senior Tori Pharr made her college decision official Wednesday morning, signing her National Letter of Intent with the North Florida Ospreys women's basketball team.
The Newton Rams return to action tonight, welcoming cross-county rival Salem to their home gym in a non-region match up.
The Newton Rams boys' varsity basketball team tipped-off its 2013-2014 season on the hardwood Tuesday night, prevailing 68-28 in a rout over rival Alcovy in their first game in the Rams' new gymnasium.
The Lady Rams opened up their new gym in a big way Tuesday night, defeating rival Alcovy 57-34 in their inaugural game at the new Newton High.
For the second year in a row, the Newton Rams hosted a home playoff game.
The Newton Rams varsity football team welcomes the McEachern Indians to Sharp Stadium tonight for the first round of the state playoffs, fresh off a 49-30 win over Morrow last Saturday in the Rams' final regular season contest.

Monday afternoon on the hardwood, Newton High women's varsity basketball coach Tiffani Johnson pulled her team together for a quick talk.
The Newton High Lady Rams cross country program competed this past weekend at the Georgia High School Association Class 6A State Cross Country Championships.
Featuring a double pass, a fainting fan and a punt kicked into the back of a teammate's head, Saturday's contest between the Newton Rams and the Morrow Mustangs proved to be bizarre on its unusual weekend date.
The Newton Rams have an opportunity Saturday afternoon to even their record on Senior Day, as they host the visiting Morrow Mustangs in their final regular season game of the year.

Han Solo'S Greedo Killer Gun Gets Papercraft Treatment, Still Would Beat Greedo in a Fight
Remember that scene in Star Wars where that ugly, trash-talking green slimeball Greedo gets in an argument with Han Solo, whips out his gun and ends up getting shot? Now you can recreate that scene (with your friend playing the part of Greedo, that of course) with this awesome papercraft DL-44 gun – the same weapon donned by Solo in that fateful scene.
The intricate papercraft kit from Uhu02 has every detail of the original, right down to the trigger, scope, and mysterious looking knobs on the sides of the gun.
Assuming you're adept with an X-Acto, tape and glue, you can make one for yourself by joining the Zealot Hobby Forum, becoming an active user, then downloading the pattern here. If you're like me, you'll probably just get tape and glue stuck to your fingers and end up cutting yourself and bleeding to death. Or maybe you just won't ever get that far since the Zealot Forum only lets serious papercraft fanatics download files.

Applied for my FFL and NY state gun dealers license Jan 12th In New York you need a state dealers license to sell handguns. ATF took the money from my account on Jan 17th My town has no zoning or business license required, i have a official letter from them stating that for my IOI. (Industry Operation Investigator) I have received my NYS sales tax number. I have been working on my store while waiting for my ATF meeting. Also studying ATF publication 5300.4 in preparation for that meeting. I have a list of the areas from 5300.4 the IOI will go over, if anyone would like i will share it. So here i am patiently waiting to hear from the IOI any day now

DON'T BUY DELL!!!!! BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow. PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
congrats! I mailed mine in the week before Christmas and had my FFL before the end of January. The ATF meeting was easy ask questions and don't over complicate it.
Here is a picture of my store, it was a gun shop in the mid 80s, that was the garage door where i framed in. When it warms up and the snow goes, i have more plywood to finish covering the end and will prime it white. Not sure on final color.
Congrats Kieth, looks like a good start you've got there. All of the meetings and inspections I've had with the ATF folks have gone real well. They are very courteous and professional, and not nearly as scary as most people would have you believe.
the Sheriff's office just called; my NYS Firearms Dealers license is done and ready to pick up.
My FFL application was forwarded Feb 22 to the local field office. I should be hearing soon for my meeting with the IOI

Perrigo Co. (PRGO) jumped in New York, pushing the premium over the generic drugmaker's Israel-traded shares to the widest in six months, on speculation the U.S. will make more pharmaceuticals available without a prescription.
U.S.-listed shares of the Allegan, Michigan-based maker of generic over-the-counter drugs surged the most in three months to close $3.98 above stock traded in Tel Aviv, the largest gap since Aug. 16. MagicJack VocalTec Ltd. extended its advance this week to 17 percent as the Bloomberg Israel-US 25 Index (ISRA25BN) of the largest U.S.-traded Israeli companies gained for the first day this week, climbing 0.9 percent yesterday to 86.10.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration scheduled a hearing this week to start March 22 to consider allowing more prescription-only drugs to be made available over the counter from mid-2014, according to an agency statement. The change may boost Perrigo revenue should its generic asthma and migraine medicines and copy of Pfizer Inc. (PFE)'s Lipitor cholesterol treatment become more available, according to Caris & Co.
"The fact that Perrigo could make a store-brand version of each of these drugs as soon as 2014 is huge," Linda Bolton Weiser, a New York-based analyst at Caris who has a "buy" recommendation on the stock, said yesterday. "It opens up a whole other opportunity for growth."
Perrigo, which was the best performer last year on Israel's benchmark TA-25 Index, may get an additional $300 million in sales annually should generic cholesterol drugs go over the counter, Bolton Weiser said. Perrigo climbed 4.1 percent to $107.12 in New York yesterday after its shares in Tel Aviv rose 2.9 percent to 390.20 shekels, or the equivalent of $103.14.
FDA Switch
The FDA is considering switching asthma medicines, migraine treatments, blood-pressure drugs and cholesterol-lowering statins to over-the-counter status, Bolton Weiser said. The agency could issue a recommendation in as soon as six months time.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) the world's largest maker of generic drugs, added 1.1 percent to a four-week high of $45.29 in New York yesterday. Teva shares traded in Israel rose 0.9 percent to 170.90 shekels, or $45.17.
Israel's TA-25 Index advanced 1 percent to 1,091.98, the measure's third increase in four days.
MagicJack, whose founders invented the technology used to make phone calls over the Internet, jumped 4.8 percent to $21.49, the highest price since April 2006. Investors are buying the stock after the company announced plans to release its first financial report to U.S. regulators during the week of March 12, said Tim Horan, an analyst at Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. in New York.
