Lázaro Cárdenas del Río (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlasaɾo ˈkardenas]; May 21, 1895 – October 19, 1970) was a Mexican general and statesman who served as President of Mexico between 1934 and 1940. He is known for nationalization of the oil industry in 1938 and creation of Pemex, the government oil monopoly.
His administration overhauled agrarian reform, initiated by the Mexican Revolution, and created the "Ejido" system in the Mexican agricultural sector. He granted asylum to exiles of the Spanish Civil War, and strengthened the educational system. These achievements, coupled with efficient political maneuvering, helped consolidate the rule of the National Revolutionary Party. Renamed as the Institutional Revolutionary Party, it continued to dominate Mexican politics and rule the nation through the 20th century.
Early life[edit]
Lázaro Cárdenas del Río was born on May 21, 1895 in a lower-middle-class family in the village of Jiquilpan, Michoacán. Due to the death of his father, from age 16 Cárdenas supported his family (including his mother and seven younger siblings). By the age of 18 he had worked as a tax collector, a printer's devil, and a jailkeeper. Although he left school at the age of eleven, he used every opportunity to educate himself and read widely throughout his life, especially works of history.
Cárdenas set his sights on becoming a teacher, but was drawn into politics and the military during the Mexican Revolution after Victoriano Huerta overthrew President Francisco Madero. He backed Plutarco Elías Calles, and after Calles became president, Cárdenas was appointed in 1928 as governor of Michoacán. During his four years as governor, Cárdenas initiated a modest re-distribution of land at the state level, encouraged the growth of peasant and labour organizations, and improved education at a time when it was neglected by the federal government. Cárdenas ensured that teachers were paid on time, personally inspected schools, and opened a hundred new rural schools. Due to his grassroots style of governing, Cárdenas made important policy decisions based on direct information received from the public rather than on the advice of his confidants.[1]
Presidential career[edit]
Calles continued to dominate Mexico after his presidency through what were considered "puppet" administrations. After two of his hand-picked men held office, the PNR balked in 1932 at supporting his first choice, Manuel Pérez Treviño. Instead they selected Cárdenas as the presidential candidate. Calles agreed, believing he could control the younger man. This was not so.
Cárdenas' first action after taking office late in 1934 was to have his presidential salary cut in half. After establishing himself in the presidency, Cárdenas led the Congress in condemning Calles' persecution of the Catholic Church.[2] In 1936, Cárdenas had Calles and twenty of his corrupt associates arrested and deported to the United States.[3] The majority of the Mexican public strongly supported these actions.
The development bank, Nacional Financiera, (México)[4] was founded during his term as president. Although not extensively active during that period, in the post-World War II era of the Mexican Miracle, the bank was an important tool in government industrialization projects.
Cárdenas became known for his progressive program of building roads and schools and promoting education, gaining Congressional approval to allocate twice as much federal money to rural education as all his predecessors combined.[1] He also promoted land reform and social security during his time in office. Regarded as a great social reformer, Cardenas helped the rural poor through his agrarian land reforms and extensive school building programme.[5]
Cárdenas openly supported the National Revolutionary Party's six-year plan of social and political reform.[3] The plan called for
- restoration of the system of ejidos (common lands) through a strong agrarian program to combat the domination of the large haciendas;
- modern secular schools to teach scientific doctrines and combat the Catholic Church; and
- workers' cooperatives to oppose the excesses of industrial capitalism.[3]
Cárdenas ended capital punishment (in Mexico, usually in the form of a firing squad). Capital punishment has been banned in Mexico since that time. The control of the republic by Cárdenas and the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) predecessor Partido de la Revolución Mexicana without widespread bloodshed effectively signalled the end of rebellions that began with the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Despite Cárdenas' policy of socialist education, he also improved relations with the Church during his administration.[6]
Cárdenas did not use armored cars or bodyguards to protect himself. In the presidential campaign of 1934, he travelled through much of the rural areas by auto and horseback, accompanied only by Rafael M Pedrajo, a chauffeur and an aide-de-camp. His fearlessness generated widespread respect for Cárdenas. He became the first occupant of the official presidential residence of Los Pinos. He had the previous residence, the ostentatious Chapultepec Castle, adapted as the National Museum of History.
Cárdenas allowed Russian exile Leon Trotsky to settle in Mexico, reportedly to counter accusations that Cárdenas was a Stalinist. Like his 1920s predecessor Álvaro Obregón, Cárdenas understood that left wing and labor union support was critical to maintain control of the republic. The CROM union of Luis Morones, accused of corruption, was marginalized as Cárdenas promoted the "purified" Confederation of Mexican Workers of socialist Vicente Lombardo Toledano. The CTM and Toledano in turn supported Cárdenas' deportation of former president Calles. Cárdenas was not as left-wing as Leon Trotsky and other socialists would wish, but Trotsky described his government as the only honest one in the world.
Cárdenas tried to support the Republican government in the Spanish Civil War, but those efforts were largely thwarted by the administration of US President FDR Roosevelt. After the war ended with the defeat of the loyalist Republicans, Cárdenas ordered his ambassador and envoys in Europe to provide safe haven and protection to all exiles, including Republican President Manuel Azaña, who went into exile in France. He was sought for deportation by the victorious Nationalists and by the Vichy French. Azaña died in Montauban, France in November 1940 of natural causes, while under Mexican diplomatic protection.
Tens of thousands of Spanish refugees reached Mexico, among them distinguished intellectuals who left a lasting imprint in Mexican cultural life. The range of refugees may be seen from an analysis of the 4,559 passengers arriving in Mexico in 1939 on board the ships Sinaia, Ipanema and Mexique; the largest groups were technicians and qualified workers (32%), farmers and ranchers (20%), along with professionals, technicians, workers, business people students and merchants, who represented 43% of the total.[7]
Cárdenas is considered by many historians to be the creator of a political system that lasted in Mexico until the end of the 1980s.[citation needed] Central to this project was the organization of corporatist structures for trade unions, campesino (peasant) organizations, and middle-class professionals and office workers within the reorganized ruling party, now renamed the Party of the Mexican Revolution (PRM). During Cárdenas' presidency, the government enacted a great deal of the land reform that Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata had envisioned, and redistributed 45 million acres (180,000 km2) of hacienda land to peasants.[8] Additionally, urban and industrial workers gained unprecedented rights for unionization and won wage increases. The railway Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México was nationalized in 1938 and put under a "workers' administration." Cárdenas and subsequent presidents also used the PRM and its successor, the Institutional Revolutionary Party or PRI, to maintain political control. Leaders of the worker and campesino organizations were expected to deliver votes and suppress protests in exchange for personal favors and concessions to their constituencies.
At first, the oil nationalization policy earned Cárdenas great respect among Mexicans and in many other Latin America countries.[6] In later years, however, Cárdenas' oil policy proved to be unpopular.[9] Vincente Lombardo Toledano took advantage of Cárdenas' unpopularity and organized pro-Communist militias.[9] Lombardo's actions are considered to have contributed to the rise of right-wing militias commanded by General Juan Andreu as well.[10]
In the elections of 1940, Cárdenas, hoping to prevent another uprising in the country, endorsed the PRM nominee Manuel Ávila Camacho, a moderate conservative.[10][11] Cárdnas hoped Ávila would salvage some of his liberal policies[10] and be a compromise candidate compared to his conservative opponent, Juan Andreu. Open and free campaigning was anticipated.
But the campaign and elections were marked by violent incidents; on election day the opposing parties hijacked numerous polling places and each issued their own "election results." After "official" results declared Ávila as winner, Andreu threatened revolt and tried to set up a parallel government and congress. Ávila crushed Andreu's forces[9] and assumed office.[9] His inauguration was attended by US Vice President-elect Henry A. Wallace,[9] who was appointed by the US as a "special representative with the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary" for Mexico.[9]
Oil expropriation[edit]
Central to Cárdenas' economic project was the nationalization of Mexico's vast oil production in order to gain more revenue from oil. An oil boom had taken place following strikes in 1910 in the area known as the "Golden Lane" or "Golden Belt", near Tampico. Oil drilling in such areas resulted in Mexico becoming the world's second-largest oil producer by 1921, and supplying approximately 20 percent of domestic demand in the United States. But the Tampico fields decline markedly after 1923, and much US oil investment went to Venezuela.
Cárdenas' efforts to negotiate for a greater return from Mexican Eagle, under the managerial control of Royal Dutch/Shell and Standard Oil of New Jersey, were not successful. The companies rejected a solution proposed by a presidential commission. On March 18, 1938, Cárdenas nationalized Mexico's petroleum reserves and expropriated the equipment of the foreign oil companies in Mexico. The announcement inspired a spontaneous six-hour parade in Mexico City; it was followed by a national fund-raising campaign to compensate the private companies.
The legislation for nationalization provided for compensation for the expropriated assets but Cárdenas' action angered the international business community and Western governments, especially the United Kingdom. The Mexican government was more worried about the lack of the technical knowledge within the nation to run the refineries. Before leaving, the oil companies had ensured they left nothing of value behind , hoping to force Cárdenas to accept their conditions.
Mexico was eventually able to restart the oil fields and refineries, but production did not rise to pre-nationalization levels until 1942, after the entry of the United States into World War II. The US sent technical advisers to Mexico to ensure production could support the overall Allied war effort.
In 1938 the British severed diplomatic relations with Cárdenas' government, and boycotted Mexican oil and other goods. An international court ruled that Mexico had the authority for nationalization. With the outbreak of World War II, oil became a highly sought-after commodity.[12]
The company that Cárdenas founded, Petróleos Mexicanos (or Pemex), later served as a model for other nations seeking greater control over their own oil and natural gas resources. In the early 21st century, its revenues continued to be the most important source of income for the country, despite weakening finances. Cárdenas founded the National Polytechnic Institute in order to ensure the education and training of people to run the oil industry.
Post-presidential career[edit]
After his presidential term, Cárdenas served as Mexico's secretary of defense until 1945.
It is often said that Lázaro Cárdenas was the only president associated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) who did not use the office to make himself wealthy. He retired to a modest home by Lake Pátzcuaro and worked the rest of his life supervising irrigation projects and promoting free medical clinics and education for the nation's poor. He also continued to speak out about international political issues and in favor of greater democracy and human rights in Latin America and elsewhere. For example, he was one of the participants in the Russell Tribunal for investigating war crimes in Vietnam.
Lázaro Cárdenas died of cancer in Mexico City on October 19, 1970 at the age of 75. His son Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas and his grandson Lázaro Cárdenas Batel have been prominent Mexican politicians.
In his honor, his name was given to a number of cities, towns, and a municipality in Mexico, including Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, the municipality of Lázaro Cárdenas, Quintana Roo, Lázaro Cárdenas, Jalisco, and other smaller communities. There are also many streets that have been named after him, including the Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas in Mexico City and highways in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexicali. Šetalište Lazaro Kardenasa (Lázaro Cárdenas promenade) in Belgrade, Serbia, is also named after him, as is a street in Barcelona, Spain, and a monument in a park in Madrid dedicated to his memory for his role in admitting defeated Spanish Republicans to Mexico after the Civil War in that country.
In 1955 Lázaro Cárdenas was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize, which was later renamed for Lenin as part of de-Stalinization.
President Cárdenas and his administration are given credit by socialists for expanding the distribution of land to the peasants, establishing new welfare programs for the poor, and nationalizing the railroad and petroleum industries, including the oil company that Cárdenas founded, Petróleos Mexicanos. Toward the end of his presidency, unhappy landowners and foreign capitalists began to challenge his programs and his power.
Cárdenas' party, the PRI, continued in power until 2000. This is attributed by some to electoral fraud and coercion. This legacy led his son, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, to form the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) to contest the 1988 presidential election. Since that year, the PRD has become one of the three major parties in Mexico, gaining working class support that was previously enjoyed by the PRI.
In his Political Testament, written the year before his death and published posthumously, he acknowledged that his regime had failed to make the changes in distribution of political power and corruption that were the basis for his presidency and the revolution. He expressed his dismay in the fact that some people and groups were making themselves rich to the detriment of the mainly poor majority. It was said about Cárdenas at his eulogy that, "he was the greatest figure produced by the revolution… an authentic revolutionary who aspired to the greatness of his country, not personal aggrandizement."
Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay patterned his people–oriented government on the principles which he found within a biography of Cárdenas written by William Cameron Townsend.[citation needed]

Lois Lightfoot - 27/10/2014
Every so often a dance comes along you know will just work and do well, yet again Tina has come up trumps from someone who�s not the biggest fan of Night Clubs I would really recommend taking a look at this one. This is a nice manageable night club that�s aimed at the higher Improver but with enough to keep the intermediates happy, set to a haunting Travis Tritt track that I can see a lot of the acts picking up on, easy restart on the 3rd wall & a basic night club step tag this one filled the floor time and again over the weekend.

Where do they get them from!! Another smooth flowing 48/4 Intermediate dance from PandA. Love the Olly Murs track, love the Choreography. Nothing to difficult and a pleasure to dance. Should be around for a while, and certainly a floor filler. Highly recommended!! PandA does it again!! Thanks from Llandudno.

Mike Parkinson - 24/10/2014
Always loved this track, original from Paul Simons way way back, along time ago, but brought right up to date from The Vamps. This easy little dance has gone down well at all my classes, Willie & Heathers done a smashing job keeping the dance nice and simple, enjoyable and can be enjoyed by not just the Intermediate plus, but by all levels. Singalong Time!! Enjoy It!!
Dear Future Husband
Mike Parkinson - 24/10/2014
Was a little hesitant when I first looked step sheet, after a closer look I decided to give it a teach. The hardest part is the 8 count in on the ahhhhh's! My dancers and myself were a little unsure at first, but went down better than I'd expected. A great track of music from Meghan Trainor fitting the dance perfect, don't worry about the Tags & Main Dance, it will all fall into place, once you start. Well worth a look at and a teach for Improver Plus, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Give it a try!!
Denise Nicholls - 24/10/2014
very popular in classes, quick teach, restarts easy to spot, nothing difficult at all, nice music and a nice dance to go with it, filled the floor each time.
When Love Runs Out
Mike Parkinson - 24/10/2014

What if we did that to the (say) top 100 billionaires — let the country take over the management of their money, let them buy whatever they want (with the exception of a few things like nuclear centrifuges, small armies, congressmen, corporations, judges, things like that). Let them buy whatever they want out of their fund otherwise, no real restrictions on amount beyond that. Put them on oh, call it "The Treasury List".
Would that fix the disparity between the 1% — 99% ?"

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
At the ATypI TypeTech Forum in Helsinki last year I talked about the future enhancement of the batch functionality for (OpenType) font generation in DTL DataMaster. I am pleased to announce that the programming has been finished and that the font generation of for instance a complete type library can be controlled by relatively simple command files now. Information concerning the fonts, font formats, character layout files, code pages, input and output directories can be stored in a command file. These command files can be activated by command files, so a hierarchic system can be built to control the output of for instance separate type families or specific font formats or everything at once. To make the creation of a command file easy, DataMaster can write such a file during font generation, which subsequently can be altered with a text editor. At the FM Track in Lisbon (http://www.fontmaster.nl/pdf/temp/FM_Track_Lisbon.pdf) I will demonstrate the new functionality.

NBA Finals Preview: 9 Things To Know Before Making Your Pick
It might get lopsided.
The Spurs haven't beaten Miami since March 2011, and that season the two teams traded 30 point wins over a ten-day period. Last year, on the way to the NBA Title, the Heat cranked the Spurs by 22 in their lone meeting. So don't be surprised to see a blowout or two. Moreover, these are two of the top five scoring teams in the regular season - they can put up points in a flash.

One branch shot up from the ground and produced pretty mr lincoln. There are many stems one or two inches at ground level but don't seem to grow. Is this the way it should be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did you have to cut this rose back to the ground this spring because of winter die back? Chances are all those stumps with a few green leaves on them are from where you cut and that tall one with the bloom on it is a brand new cane that shot up this year. I have a number of roses that did the same thing. The leaves on the stumps came out first and have been feeding the plant so it could send out that new cane. Now it has more leaves and will start getting more food and energy and hopefully with some time and good care the rose will send up more new canes but right now it's working on building up energy to be able to do that. Keep it watered and give it some fertilizer and be patient. |

hi Seil This was a bare root that I bot at Walmart earlier this yr but you are exactly right that this rose is off a brand new cane. Actually you helped with the planting. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/roses/msg0415215915324.html |
Not knowing your weather conditions I can't give you watering advice. I will tell you that watering deeper, less often rather than just a little frequently is the better way to go. Your rose looks perfectly healthy so I'd say you're doing OK! |

ArchDaily's 50 Best Houses of 2014
For another year, in 2014 ArchDaily has featured hundreds of houses from designers around the globe, with homes that appear to float above ground, sink below grade, snake through forests, jut over cliffs, and blur the line between building and environment. This year, we've seen some of the most intuitive, outlandish, and creative designs cropping up around the world, from São Paulo to Ho Chi Minh City to Stockholm, and to celebrate the end of the year we've rounded up our 50 best projects from 2014, representing an incredible range of living environments from the world's most innovative architects.
Enjoy the sandy surrounds of House in Miyake or the minimalist paradise of Love House; or escape for a getaway to Weekend House in Downtown São Paulo. Find out which houses stray from the norm, reviving the wooden cottage and redefining the stone cabin with a touch of linearity and serious panoramic views. Step inside wondrous spaces that soar skyward or connect with the earth, speak to the divine or convene with the spiritual – and yet all share the unmistakable feeling of 'home.'

RIBA President Steven Hodder said of the shortlisted schemes: "With each of the projects, the architects have added real value to the homeowner's happiness and wellbeing.

Why Japan is Crazy About Housing
Japan is famous for its radical residential architecture. But as Tokyo architect Alastair Townsend explains, its penchant for avant garde housing may be driven by the country's bizarre real estate economics, as much as its designers' creativity.
Here on ArchDaily, we see a steady stream of radical Japanese houses. These homes, mostly designed by young architects, often elicit readers' bewilderment. It can seem that in Japan, anything is permissible: stairs and balconies without handrails, rooms flagrantly cast open to their surroundings, or homes with no windows at all.
These whimsical, ironic, or otherwise extreme living propositions arrest readers' attention, baiting us to ask: WTF Japan? The photos travel the blogosphere and social networks under their own momentum, garnering global exposure and international validation for Japan's outwardly shy, yet media-savvy architects. Afterall, in Japan – the country with the most registered architects per capita – standing out from the crowd is the key to getting ahead for young designers. But what motivates their clients, who opt for such eccentric expressions of lifestyle?
Build Your Own Neutra Home!
The mid-century modern master, Richard Neutra was well known for his cutting edge modernism. Since Julius Shulman immortalized his houses in his iconic photographs, Neutra's bright, airy homes have widely been seen as the pinnacle of modernism and desirability. One problem though, they're in high demand and it's not exactly like they're making any more Neutra buildings; in fact, quite the opposite is true and as a result they have become a pretty expensive commodity.
Read more about how to get your very own Neutra home after the break…
House Vision 2013 Exhibition Hits Tokyo
Graphic designer and curator Kenya Hara has put together a three week-long exhibition in Tokyo focusing on the future of the Japanese house. Hara argues that the housing industry can no longer be isolated but must be combined with other industries, technologies and ideas, including energy, transportation, communication, household appliances, the "vision of happiness" pursued by adults, the representation of Japanese traditions and aesthetics as well as a future vision of health. All of these elements he hopes to present and discuss at the House Vision Exhibition where more than ten types of futuristic houses are on display and daily seminars with expert urban planners, developers, contractors, architects, telecom and even gas organizations have been taking place.

6 Reasons Why You're Still Single
Meet Linda. Linda was in her mid-thirties when she came to me. She felt worthless, hopeless, and tired of meaningless hookups. She didn't love herself, or even see herself as worthy of dating a man who would treat her like a queen. After working with me in group coaching and doing other relationship-readiness work, Linda is now dating amazing men — the kind of men she used to be afraid to even talk to. She is so confident in her new life that she chose to leave one special man behind in her hometown (something she would never have done in the past) to pursue a dream job opportunity abroad, knowing that it is important for her to create the life she loves now, and confident in her belief that if he is "the one," he will be there when she returns. Linda is happy, relaxed, extremely satisfied with her life, and looking forward to discovering what the future holds.
Meet Sheryl. Sheryl is in her mid-fifties and is soon to be an empty-nester. Sheryl is successful at work and has been divorced for six years. She has never dated much, instead focusing most of her attention on her children and creating an independent life — something she didn't have when she was in her unhealthy marriage. Sheryl came to me because she knew that it was finally her time, but she was terrified that if she entered into a relationship she would lose everything she had worked so hard to create. Through both group coaching classes and private coaching sessions, Sheryl realized that she had been so busy trying to control, create, and manage her life as a single mom that she didn't even realize that she was unable to accept love, help, or generosity. She had a heavy heart and was terrified of dating. Through our work together, Sheryl learned to relax, enjoy her life, and receive all sorts of love and attention. She learned to stop working so hard and to instead allow things to unfold. In just a few months, Sheryl was able to accomplish more of the things on her to-do list than she ever had before — and all without stress. She dramatically improved her relationships with her children and embarked on a trip she had long dreamed of taking. She began to know herself, trust her own judgment, and feel deeply. Sheryl now feels that she is truly ready to embark on a new era of her journey that includes dating.
The common lesson in these two stories is this: we are not broken. We do not need to be fixed. The truth is, however, that many of us wear masks — learned default patterns or habits — that help us to feel safe and get by, but also keep us stuck. But we are much more than our bad habits or default tendencies. If you choose to remove the mask, anything is possible. By committing to developing a perfect blend of skills, intention, and action, you can have the life you've dreamed of. What actions will you take today to begin living an authentic life? How will you choose to live a life free from the trap of self-protection? What will you do to ensure that your future is more than just a repeat of your past?
Take time today to choose to live life as the blank canvas it is. You are the artist and director. Be bold, take a risk, and let go. The results will be nothing short of miraculous!

When looking at the mission results for this first mission, it will say that Woods was saved. There's no other way around it and if you don't save Woods during the mission, the game ends. It's more or less a red herring that there could have been a different outcome that may have happened, but there isn't. There's only one way through the mission and you aren't given any choices during it.
Much like the first mission, there is only one way through this one as well. Although the after action report may make it seem like you cannot recover the Celerium, you must to progress the story. Not doing so will end the game as a failed objective.
Now is when the game starts to offer certain choices that will affect dialogue and game options. Your first major choice is during the interrogation of Kravchenko. You have the ability as Mason to either put a bullet in Kravchenko while he's talking, or resist the urge by rapidly tapping the button. If you do plug him, you will not learn that there is a mole in the CIA. If you resist however, the later dialogue with Noriega will change to reflect that there is a known spy.

Ultimately it depends on what you want from your stencil; Such things as repetition of use, detail, ease of travel, whether you are stenciling on a horizontal surface or vertical even whether you'd doing it upside down can all be affected by what you cut the stencil from.The best, and only, way to find what works best for you is to experiment, something that after years of stenciling I still do. So sorry I can't just tell you the best material to use and you pop off and make amazing stencils straight away.

Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: Rag & Bone
Rag & Bone Earn Their Stripes with Their Fall 2011 Arctic Ski-Inspired Collection
>> For the second Fall season in a row, the Rag & Bone boys have created a lot of want in the ten some-odd minutes it takes for their run of show. The futuristic bent that was introduced in their Spring 2011 collection stayed, but this time worked its way into a number of the Rag & Bone staples — cropped fitted jackets, kilts, knee socks, and cape coats. This was mashed together with a newfound fascination with texture: cow hides, nubby knits, neoprenes, shearlings, wools, and fringes were all represented.
As Marcus Wainwright noted backstage, "It started with Inuit people — the indigenous people of the Arctic circle — and on the other side of it, there was a French skiier called Jean-Claude Killy — so '70s ski — and it just went from there." As for the brilliant blue that was used so liberally in the second half of the show — where did that come from? "In looking at all of these pictures of the Arctic and the snow and the sky bounced against it," Wainwright explained, "that unbelievable blue — Klein Blue — that kind of blue of the sky, was just amazing against the ivory and the grey of the beginning [of the show]. It's a fun color."
The cool Rag & Bone girl was well-accounted-for as usual, both front row (Erin Wasson, Jessica Stam, and Alexa Chung), and on the catwalk (Bette Franke, making a runway return after taking a season off, Arizona Muse, Joan Smalls, Fei Fei Sun, Saskia de Brauw, and Britt Maren). Boots tended to be thigh-high and low-heeled. As for the clutches, which were strapped to the models' hands by glove-like contraptions, leaving their fingers free — would those be put into production? "It may well do if people like them," Wainwright answered. "I don't know. We just did it just for the show, we always do those things ourselves, but yeah, probably." He and Neville had both cracked open Peroni beers immediately post-show, while their children ran around backstage. So what's the plan now that the show is finished? "I have had one beer," Wainwright replied. "I'm going to have a few more. I feel pretty good about it. I was excited about the music [done by Thom Yorke], and it's good."

Domestic orders placed Monday - Friday by 6 p.m. Eastern Time will be packed and shipped the same day, pending verification of billing information and the shipping method selected. International orders and orders containing gift cards, out-of-stock items or refrigerated items will be processed as quickly as possible, but won't necessarily be shipped out the same day.

Unlike previous icons, the multicolored MyPlate breaks good nutrition down to these basics:
There's no place on the new icon for desserts or other snack foods. Instead, these count mostly towards the daily "empty calories" allotment, which includes foods with added sugars and solid fats like butter or shortening.
With empathy to busy parents, and recognizing that they have competing demands that may keep them from feeding their families as well as they would like to, the new icon provides a simple checkpoint. "...We do have time to take a look at our kids' plates," says the First Lady. "As long as they're half full of fruits and vegetables, and paired with lean proteins, whole grains and low-fat dairy, we're golden. That's how easy it is."
The MyPlate icon will soon hit schools, supermarkets, and restaurants, so we'll more often see the reminder to fill half of your plate with produce. Instead of worrying about measuring exact portion sizes, you can now eyeball it to see if you're falling within the new guidelines. This should make it infinitely easier to plan healthy meals and choose what to order when eating out.
The MyPlate icon is just one part of the plan to help get Americans eating better and tackle the obesity epidemic. A host of interactive information and helpful links are available at ChooseMyPlate.gov. "What we have learned over the years is that consumers are bombarded by so many nutrition messages that it makes it difficult to focus on changes that are necessary to improve their diet," said Vilsack. "This new campaign will help unify the public and private sectors to coordinate efforts and highlight one desired change for consumers at a time." Here are some of the key messages that the will be addressed by the MyPlate campaign:

I live 'bout 20 miles inland from Charleston, SC. Twice this summer I have seen a orangey-brown snake in the pine straw (with a bit a leaf litter) along the foundation of my house. They are about 4 ft long, medium thickness, no distinct pattern, and they ran away too fast to see what shape the head was or to photograph. Both times they ran under the porch. I don't really care what it actually is, long as it's not dangerous to my Scottish Terrier, who wouldn't have the sense to stay away! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The color, size and speed, sound a lot like an Eastern Coachwhip Snake (which is harmless). Usually Eastern Coachwhips on the east coast are darker by the head than the tail and are orangey-tan over anywhere from 2/3 to most of their body. By the description that would be my guess. If you do get a picture (it doesn't have to be high quality or a close-up) I can confirm that for sure. In any rate, it doesn't sound like anything venomous or dangerous to a Scottish Terrier. |
I looked it up in some Google images and if there are times when the darker color toward the head is not so noticeable, then that must be what it was. (My getting a photo is unlikely since I tend to not think clearly when I encounter a snake. ;> ) Thanks Wayne! |

stronghold, a Philistine city ( Joshua 15:47 ), about midway between Gaza and Joppa, and 3 miles from the Mediterranean. It was one of the chief seats of the worship of Dagon ( 1 Samuel 5:5 ). It belonged to the tribe of Judah ( Joshua 15:47 ), but it never came into their actual possession. It was an important city, as it stood on the highroad from Egypt to Palestine, and hence was strongly fortified ( 2 Chronicles 26:6 ; Isaiah 20:1 ). Uzziah took it, but fifty years after his death it was taken by the Assyrians (B.C. 758). According to Sargon's record, it was captured by him in B.C. 711. The only reference to it in the New Testament, where it is called Azotus, is in the account of Philip's return from Gaza ( Acts 8:40 ). It is now called Eshdud.
effusion; inclination; theft
Ashdod, or Azotus
(a stronghold ), ( Acts 8:40 ) one of the five confederate cities of the Philistines situated about 30 miles from the southern frontier of Palestine, three from the Mediterranean Sea, and nearly midway between Gaza and Joppa. It was assigned to the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:47 ) but was never subdued by the Israelites. Its chief importance arose from its position on the high road from Palestine to Egypt. It is now an insignificant village, with no memorials of its ancient importance, but is still called Esdud.
ash'-dod ('ashdodh; Azotos; modern Esdud):
One of the five chief cities of the Philistines. The name means stronghold or fortress, and its strength may be inferred by the fact that Psammetik I, of Egypt, besieged it for many years (Herodotus says 29). Some of the Anakim were found there in the days of Joshua (Joshua 11:22), and the inhabitants were too strong for the Israelites at that time. It was among the towns assigned to Judah, but was not occupied by her (Joshua 13:3; 15:46,47). It was still independent in the days of Samuel, when, after the defeat of the Israelites, the ark was taken to the house of Dagon in Ashdod (1 Samuel 5:1,2). We have no account of its being occupied even by David, although he defeated the Philistines many times, and we have no definite knowledge of its coming into the hands of Judah until the time of Uzziah (2 Chronicles 26:6).
Ashdod, like the other Philistine towns, came under the authority of the Assyrian monarchs, and we have mention of it in their records. It revolted against Sargon in 711 BC, and deposed the Assyrian governor, Akhimiti, who had been appointed by him in 720. Sargon at once dispatched a force to subdue the rebels and the city was severely punished. This is referred to by Isaiah (Isaiah 20:1). Amos had prophesied such a calamity some years before (1:8), and Jeremiah refers to "the remnant of Ashdod" as though it had continued weak until his day (Jeremiah 25:20). Zephaniah (Zec 2:4) refers to the desolation of Ashdod and Zechariah to its degraded condition (Zechariah 9:6). It continued to be inhabited, however, for we find the Jews intermarried with them after the return from Babylon (Nehemiah 13:23,24). In the Maccabean period we are told that Judas and Jonathan both took it and purified it of idolatry (1 Macc 5:68; 10:84). In these passages it is called Azotus, as it is also in the New Testament (Acts 8:40). In the 4th century AD it became the seat of a bishopric. It had been restored in the time of Herod, by the Roman general Gabinius, and was presented to Salome, the sister of Herod, by the emperor Augustus. It is now a small village about 18 miles Northeast of Gaza.

Sorry for my ignorance but I wondered if Japanese Mapples can be planted in Las Vegas (NV). I'll be moving to Las Vegas soon and would love to have several JM in my yard. Any insights, advice, information will be appreciated very much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Very doubtful without a HUGE amount of effort and care. As I am sure you know, the golf courses and casinos plant very many non-native plants outside. However they do so at a huge expense and with a round the clock professional grounds crew. The summer heat of Vegas is not very conducive to growing Japanese Maples. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 5, 10 at 11:34
Neither are the soil conditions and irrigation - generally far too alkaline to keep a JM happy, discounting the heat issue entirely. However, there have been posters here from Arizona who have grown JM's successfully, typically in a container situation and with sufficient shade and careful attention. I'd look through the forum archives to see what they had to say. |
I wouldn't say it's totally impossible to grow Japanese maples in Vegas. There are people growing Japanese maples in Texas. USDA zones are just a general guide & your own micro climate plays a bigger role in whether your plants will do well. Southern CA is considered desert for the most part, but Japanese maples do quite well here. I'll tell you your maples will look terrible in the summer due to the high temps and arid winds. You'll experience leaf burn and maybe even some new growth die back. If you live in the mountains outside of Las Vegas they may fair better in the summer. I'd plant in on the north or east side of your house (morning sun/afternoon shade). Plant the more heat/sun tolerant cultivars. Hope this helps. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 13, 10 at 11:43
I'd try asking in your regional forum......you may get much better feedback from gardeners in your immediate area rather than general speculation from those of us who grow JM's in more suitable climates :-) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Nevada Gardening forum
Thank you all very much for your advice. From what I've heard, it may be very difficult to plan a JM here (and it may require lots of TLC which I cannot afford). I'll find another tree to plant instead. |
- Posted by toronado3800 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 21, 10 at 22:52
Ruas, Phoenix has an unbelievably nice botanical garden. Full of succulents and drought tolerant trees. It was a real eye opener for me. If I was planning some landscaping in Vegas I would go check that out, get some planting ideas. All is not lost in Vegas if you like trees. Follow Luyeno's advice. Get yourself out to Red Rock and Mt Charleston. Both a comfortable drive from town, both have a little elevation and enough moisture to support some vegetation. Neat wide open clear night sky also. Brings up something I heard at the beginning of an episode of Cops. The officer moved to Vegas from the Midwest. He said he loved the warm weather and if he ever missed snow he could go visit it for a while then drive back home! |
