A man in Deal has sent Dover District Council photographic evidence of a dog owner failing to pick up his dog's mess.
The man captured the images on Monday morning and the council is now trying to catch the offender.
The resident, who has asked to withhold his name and address, said: "This inconsiderate and thoughtless man should be named and shamed.
"He should be caught and fined."
He said the dog owner is a regular offender and many of the neighbours recognise him from his photos.
He added: "The dog excreted directly outside my next door neighbour's house.
"The offender then proceeded to kick one part of three into the gutter, under a car, leaving two pieces on the pavement.
"He looked around very furtively to see whether he'd been spotted."
If caught by an authorised officer, the offender will receive a fixed-penalty notice of £50.
Last week the Mercury reported only four dog-fouling fixed-penalty notices had been issued in Deal, Walmer, Kingsdown and Sandwich in the past year.
Linda Ford, of Sandown Road, Deal, who found 39 piles of dog mess between Sandown Castle and the Royal Hotel in January, called for people to started taking pictures of offenders.
She said: "If we get proof, they might do something about it."

Ray Gun Easter Egg on Little Resistance

Start up the Little Resistance level (2nd Level), and after the boat crashes, call the Air Strike on the location it specifies. Run up to the beach, and head towards the right. Once you reach the right side of the beach, you should find a small puddle. Stand in it for a second or two. Now start heading towards the middle of the beach. You should find another puddle (though smaller), and stand in that one too. Now head towards the far left side of the beach, and stand in the puddle over there in the barb wire, while looking towards the mainland (the trees and everything ahead of you, opposite the ocean). After about 5-10 seconds, the screen will begin shaking, and weird voices will begin playing (similar to the voice in Shadow of the Colussus), and four lion statues will rise out of the ground with Ray Guns in their mouths. Also, I'm sure you can already get the Ray Gun anyways, with the console commands, but this is a cool Easter Egg anyways. --- "What's a ORLY?

This is my long awaited Valentino dress. Not the one I started in January and never finished… Another one, that I only started two days ago. Utter space age.
I chose gabardine because its stiffness. I managed to achieve a classic dress, with a classic design and a classic colour.
For the first time I got the Vogue measurements right! The dress fits perfectly, including sleeves, neckline, length.
I am so relieved I managed to complete my first Valentino, I am so proud to wear it.
The crisp, classic, straight lines make it "self sufficient", I believe there is no need to accessorise it with anything.
The dress has a side back zip and two hooks and eyes on the shoulder, as shown in the images. I chose two flower Vogue Star buttons for the front tabs.
I am really pleased with the result!

Student Teacher Placement (practicum/student teaching/internship) |
Human Resources South Kitsap School District 2689 Hoover Ave SE Port Orchard, WA 98366
South Kitsap
School District is dedicated to contributing excellence to future
educators. Student teaching is
considered to be the single most important experience in a teacher
preparation program. By working together,
we hope to nurture the professional growth of teacher candidates, support the
continued professional development of cooperating teachers, and provide for
quality learning experiences for the children in our school.
All practicum,
student teacher, and/or intern applicants must be enrolled in a State Board
of Education approved college/university education program, with field
supervisors provided by the University. The College/University must
also have a current contract on file with the South Kitsap School District.
All arrangements
to accept student teachers are made through Human
Resources in conjunction with the College and University placement
offices. This includes all
observation, practicum, intern, and student teaching requests. In order to meet the needs of the many
Universities/Colleges', a student teacher placement request must be sent to
the Human Resources Department by the following dates:
The South Kitsap School District places student teachers on a semester by semester basis. Often times, student teachers request a specific placement location and host teacher. South Kitsap School District will make every effort to accommodate such requests. There are, however, times that we may not be able to accept the specific placement request due to events in our district that are not conducive to a good student teaching experience.
The State of
Washington requires that everyone who has contact with students in the school
setting be fingerprinted prior to
starting their assignments.
Student teachers will not be allowed into the classroom
without proof of current fingerprints. Requests for placement will not
be sent until fingerprinting can be confirmed.
All requests
(i.e., observations, practicums, student teaching or internships) must come
through Human Resources. Please
download and submit the Student Teacher Application Packet.
IN THEIR ENTIRETY* Once Human Resources has received all completed documents, by the date as indicated above, the information will be forwarded to the building administrator for placement review. When placement has been confirmed, Human Resources will send a letter of confirmation to the University Coordinator with your student teaching placement information.
For questions,
please contact Brooke Wood at 360.874.7074 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for
considering South Kitsap School District.
We look forward to working with you. Nurturing growth, Inspiring achievement, Building
community. |

I am overwintering geraniums in a greenhouse - hoping to keep them flowering all winter, to use as cut flowers. (Did you know they last ages in water?). What pests or diseases should I look out for?. Have had problems with vine weevils and fuchsias in the past, so have given up on them. Are geraniums likely to get VW too?. |

Redken All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner: My hair is fried from heat styling and coloring, but this shampoo and conditioner makes it feel like it hasn't been through the mill. It leaves my locks really soft (like silk, seriously!), and makes blow-drying it straight a lot easier. And since I'm plagued by frizz, this is the perfect smoothing solution.
i.d. Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundations: Since my skin breaks out and is sensitive, I need coverage that won't irritate my skin. This line of foundations fits the bill. I never feel like I'm wearing heavy makeup or a "mask" of makeup. And the coverage is easily buildable, so I can use a little bit in certain spots or wear it all over.
Crest Whitestrips: My teeth are pretty white, and I have these strips to thank for it. Twice a year, I buy a kit for around $30 and my teeth stay white for months. A bright smile is just as important (or even more important!) as good skin or a great mascara!
Fresh Sugar Lemon Body Lotion: I don't usually splurge on body lotions, but I got this as a gift and I know that when I run out, I'll buy tons more. It smells sweet and citrusy, and leaves my skin really moisturized but not greasy. It's pretty close to a perfect body lotion.

By validating audiences at the campaign level, there is the potential for massive discrepancies and friction in the buying process.
There is a lot of talk and hype surrounding audience verification these days. Advertisers and their agencies like the idea of deploying vendors like comScore or Nielsen along with their campaigns to validate the audiences reached within a campaign. The process for verification is pretty straightforward and most folks probably don't think there is much risk in it. However, by validating audiences at the campaign level, there is the potential for massive discrepancies and friction in the buying process.
I can appreciate why an agency would want to clearly understand the composition of the audience reached with their campaign and limit exposure to people outside their core target. However, the current methods for determining audiences create a number of challenges for both the client and the publisher. When a buyer asks a publisher to deliver a certain audience, say men 18 to 34, there are few ways to approach the targeting. The publisher can deliver the campaign in context, like sports, where they know from prior research that they have a high concentration of men 18 to 34, or they can directly target the audience using either first-party registration data or third-party data sources like BlueKai.
But this is where the friction begins. By using a different source of data for targeting versus verification, there will inherently be a large discrepancy in the audiences reported. When a client receives a report that has a major audience discrepancy, there can be a number of negative outcomes:
At the end of the day, no one likes discrepancies and when they happen it creates more work for both the agency and the publisher. The agency often rushes to reallocate spend or make billing adjustments. The publishers are then wasting inventory, losing revenue, and doing additional work to either justify the inventory quality or the associated audience composition. The vendors and their associated data can also be questioned, in which case they risk losing business and adding confusion and cost to the buying process.
How can we avoid this additional tax on the industry while still helping clients and agencies understand the composition of the audiences they reach with their campaigns? I would propose a universal standard for audience verification that can be used by both marketer and publisher. Or, at least, publishers should be demanding that the same data set used for targeting also be used to verify the campaign. The latter is not as efficient, but in the near term it would go a long way to limit audience discrepancies, provide the marketer with assurance that the right audiences are reached, and help limit lost revenues for publishers.

McGuinness attacks Bloody Sunday Guardian 'speculation'
The families of those killed on Bloody Sunday are angry at newspaper 'leaks' ahead of the Saville Inquiry report.
Thirteen people on a civil rights march were shot dead by paratroops in Londonderry on 30 January 1972.
The Guardian said Lord Saville's report - which has taken 12 years to compile and is due to be published on Tuesday - will say some were unlawfully killed.
Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness said the leaks were "heaping anguish upon anguish" upon the families.
Mr McGuinness, who admitted to the inquiry he was an IRA commander in Derry at the time, said it was important to wait on the detail of the report and not rely on speculation.
He said: "Those who are tempted to run with stories need to take on board the terrible suffering that these people have endured for almost 40 years. Why exacerbate it at this stage with only four days to go?"
Asked about the possibility of soldiers being prosecuted 38 years after Bloody Sunday, he said: "I've heard people say in the city over the course of the last number of weeks that they would like to see prosecutions, and they would like to see convictions - but they are not really interested in seeing people go to prison.
"There will be varying views in the city here about what should happen.
- Thirteen unarmed people shot dead by British soldiers in Londonderry on 30 January 1972
- Fourteen civilians injured after troops opened fire during civil rights march in mainly nationalist Bogside area
- Led to international condemnation
- Official British government report published within 10 weeks of shootings dubbed a whitewash by families for excluding key evidence
- Set the British government on the road to suspending the unionist administration at Stormont two years later, taking over direct rule control of law and order in Northern Ireland
"I think in the here and now, all we're really interested in is what is going to be Saville's judgement on all of this next Tuesday."
Liam Wray, whose brother Jim was killed, said the leaks were wrong.
"This report is going to come out in full in four days' time," he said.
"It would be a more sensible and dignified approach for journalists who are sensible to say: 'Look, respect the families and respect the situation. They are under great stress. We will wait until the day.'"
The government said the speculation added to the stress of those involved.
A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Office said: "The report will be published in a few days and everyone can read it then.
"The people directly affected by all of this - the families of those killed and injured, and the soldiers - have waited a long time for this report, and speculation of this kind only adds to the stress and anxiety that they must all feel."
Public domainThe Guardian have not seen the report but have been briefed by people who may have seen it, believed to be political rather than military sources.
The paper's Ireland correspondent, Henry McDonald, said he does not know how many of the killings are likely to be described as unlawful.
BBC Northern Ireland reporter Paul McCauley, who covered the inquiry, said the speculation that some of the soldiers would be accused of unlawful killing could be supported by information already in the public domain.
He pointed to the finding of the first Bloody Sunday inquiry, conducted by Lord Widgery in 1972, which found that four people shot dead in Glenfada Park had posed no threat to soldiers.
- Set up in 1998 by then Prime Minister Tony Blair, based on "weight of new material available"
- Began oral hearings two years later in Derry's Guildhall
- Chaired by Lord Saville of Newdigate, alongside two other judges from Australia and Canada
- First witness heard in November 2000, the last in January 2005
- Longest and most costly inquiry in British legal history
- Some evidence heard in London over fears for safety of soldier witnesses
- 2,500 witness statements, of whom 922 were called to give direct evidence
Pathology findings also showed those victims had been shot in the back while running away.
Lord Widgery found those shootings "bordered on the reckless" and that one of the soldiers who fired 19 shots had not been telling the truth about his actions.
The Guardian said it was not clear whether Lord Saville would directly recommend prosecutions.
Our reporter said the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) would have much to consider before taking such a step.
"The soldiers have taken part in two very public inquiries, they have been given immunity on self-incrimination. The PPS would have to take all that into consideration and then decide whether there would be a genuine possibility of any solider being successfully prosecuted."
Our reporter added that the Bloody Sunday families are not happy about the leak because they had "gone to great lengths" to be allowed to see the report before it was laid before Parliament and published.

"In A Little Luck, Jeff Worley presents that rarest of commodities—a voice encyclopedic in its attentions, clever, self-aware, and deeply likeable. Worley's humor throughout is dark and smart, his phrasings elegant. I would give A Little Luck to the reader who loves the work of Ted Kooser or Rodney Jones. I'd give this book to the reader who does not yet realize he loves poetry."—Sandra Beasley, Final Judge
Jeff Worley's first book, The Only Time There Is, won the Mid-List Press First-Book Poetry Prize, and his second book from Mid-List, Happy Hour at the Two Keys Tavern, was named 2006 Kentucky Book of the Year in Poetry. Now retired from the University of Kentucky, he lives in Lexington with his wife, Linda.
Harlow tells the story of eighteen-year-old Leslie Somers, who trudges his way through the dark Louisiana backwoods one winter in search of his father. As he walks through the woods, Leslie thinks of the other male role models in his life: the men who took him hunting and fishing, the men who mistreated him.
Since Leslie has been forsaken by his mother, he can only imagine a life with this man he has never met: his father, Harlow Cagwin. But when Leslie finally finds Harlow, the man is not what the boy had expected.
The two end up on a crash course toward destruction, crime, and twisted relationships that will leave one of them dead, the other a hardly recognizable version of his former self.
David Armand, born and raised in Louisiana, has worked as a drywall hanger, a draftsman, and as a press operator in a flag-printing factory. He now teaches at Southeastern Louisiana University. In 2010 his first novel, The Pugilist's Wife, won the George Garrett Fiction Prize and was also published by Texas Review Press.
The Waiting Girl explores the exterior and interior landscapes as they apply to identity, specifically celebrating the Appalachian South and Cape Cod. The poems in this collection carry readers from the cracked red earth of Georgia to the cobblestone streets of Nantucket. Through these bold environments, Ganaway delves into the nuances of mania and melancholia, illuminating the bittersweet nature of bipolar disorder, and raising awareness of this still largely misunderstood state of being.
Erin Ganaway's poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in The New York Quarterly, Third Coast, The Texas Review, and elsewhere. She was a featured poet in Town Creek Poetry, and her poems were selected for inclusion in Best New Poets, as well as the Georgia volume of The Southern Poetry Anthology. Ganaway holds a Master of Fine Arts from Hollins University. She divides her time between Atlanta and Cape Cod.
The Jumper is an old-fashioned, modern novel both dark and funny. Its central character, Jimmy Strawhorn, grows up on a ranch in West Texas thinking he's an orphan but is summoned to Baton Rouge, where he discovers his past is stranger than he can imagine.
Jimmy tries to navigate his urge to jump from high places, his fear of falling in love, and a complex family history full of deceit and racial ambiguity. At the same time, two other eccentric main characters, named Sandra and J. T., deal with dangerous pasts and presents of their own as Jimmy's arrival alters their lives.

Res ipsa loquitor—the thing speaks for itself—as the lawyers say. But does it? Not in Michael Lieberman's new book of poems, Bonfire of the Verities. What speaks here is doubt and the commitment to cast aside the apparent truths we all accumulate.
Michael Lieberman is a research physician and poet who has published six collections of poetry and a novel, Never Surrender, Never Retreat. Texas Review Press will also publish his novella, The Lobsterman's Daughter, in 2014. Lieberman lives in Houston with his wife, the writer Susan Lieberman.
Billy Carlyle is a professional fighter starting to lose. His eyes cut too easily and his friends—Gabriel, an aspiring actor, and Sam, an artist preparing for her first gallery show—try to persuade Billy to leave the ring.
From the streets of Manhattan to the gyms of Paris, from struggling with hard pasts to harnessing the primal pull, Both Members of the Club is a story of friendship and ambition and violence set against the world of boxing, a place where bodies get tested and truths are exposed.
"This astonishingly personal and touching account of a trio of friends who have emerged from a parentless, family-less childhood to form a lifetime bond is reminiscent of the best of short fiction from the previous century. The narrator and narrative voice of the story is compelling and fascinating, and the two principal characters who round out this small circle are driven by such a power of love and mutual responsibility that it's moving in almost every way. It's a stunning story that resonates long after the last page is turned."—Clay Reynolds
Adam Berlin is the author of the novels Belmondo Style, which won the Publishing Triangle's Ferro-Grumley award, and Headlock. His novel The Number of Missing is forthcoming from Spuyten Duyvil press. He teaches writing at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City.
In Hide Island, his sixteenth book and eighth collection of stories, Richard Burgin explores themes of love and crime, memory and identity, abuse and redemption, and the contradictory battle between our fierce struggle to live lives worth remembering and our desire to disentangle ourselves from a past we wish to forget.
The stories involve an extraordinarily variegated group of characters—ranging from doctors and drug dealers, prostitutes and businessmen, to writers and domestic workers. Hide Island gives voice to the profoundly tormented as well as those who seek and find enlightenment, justifying Joyce Carol Oates' praise in Newsweek's The Daily Beast that "What Edgar Allan Poe did for the psychotic soul, Richard Burgin does for the deeply neurotic who pass among us disguised as so seemingly 'normal' we may mistake them for ourselves." And why the Boston Globe concluded that "Burgin's tales capture the strangeness of a world that is simultaneously frightening and reassuring, and in the contemporary American short story nothing quite resembles his singular voice."
Richard Burgin's stories have won five Pushcart Prizes and been reprinted in numerous anthologies. A resident of St. Louis, Missouri, he is the author of sixteen books, including two novels, Rivers Last Longer and Ghost Quartet, eight collections of short fiction, as well as the interview books Conversations with Jorge Louis Borges and Conversations with Isaac Bashevis Singer.
The eighteen poems in this collection recall a boy's childhood and coming-of-age in a small town in the rural Southeast of the 1960s. Much of the physical evidence of the world in which the boy lived has disappeared over the intervening years as a result of the death of parents and friends as well as profound changes in the natural and social environment of the region. These poems attempt not only to revisit what has been "lost," but to "find" anew the emotional meaning and significance of the people, objects and things of nature that populated the world being remembered.
"The seemingly simple and direct diction of these exquisitely crafted poems belies the wisdom, insight, and epiphanies looming beneath their crystalline surfaces."—Larry D. Thomas, Final Judge
David Lanier, who currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, lived for many years in Washington, D.C., where he was on the faculty of the Georgetown University School of Medicine. His poems have appeared in Poetry, Poet Lore, Southern Poetry Review, Marlboro Review, Louisville Review, and several other small magazines.
Set on the Texas/Mexico border during the early years of Reagan's "War on Drugs," Mariguano tells the story of contrabandisto Don Julio Cortina's ill-fated attempt to secure the Plaza at a national level by fixing the 1988 Mexican Presidential elections.
The story is told through the eyes of Cortina's son, El Johnny, who bears witness to his father's cocaine-fueled transformation from devoted head of family to self-destructive head of a criminal organization that is rife with betrayal and deceit.
Anyone who wants to understand the tragedy of modern-day Mexico and America's complicity in the Mexican drug wars will want to read Mariguano, a novel that recalls classic crime narratives such as Nicholas Pileggi's Wiseguys or William S. Burroughs's Junky but also reads like the work of the best Mexican and Latin American novelists such as Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez.
Juan Ochoa is licensed to practice law in his beloved Mexico. Ochoa has been everything from pistolero to professor and is currently teaching English at South Texas College. He lives happily with his wife and daughter in Mission, Texas, on Inspiration Road. Ochoa is an avid boxing fan.
Weaving multiple storylines with vivid description of characters ape, Haske's debut novel brings new life and a unique voice to the fiction of rural America. North Dixie Highway is a story of family bonds, devolution, and elusive revenge.
When Buck Metzger's childhood is interrupted by the disappearance of his grandfather, several family members and close friends plot revenge on the suspected killer. From remote towns in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, to the Texas/Mexico border, to war-torn Bosnia, Metzger struggles for self-identity and resolution in a world of blue-collar ethics and liquor-fueled violence.
Joseph D. Haske, Chair of English at South Texas College in McAllen, was awarded the 2011 Boulevard Emerging Writers award for short fiction. His work is featured in journals such as Boulevard, The Texas Review, AleCart, and Fiction International. He lives in Mission, Texas, with his wife, Bertha, and their children, Ferny and Joey.

This is understandable, since many people prefer to exist in a low energy state while still enjoying the products and services afforded by a functional high energy state. Anyway, liberty is only suitable for individuals capable of self-moderating behavior. It's a shame that the rest of Americans are forced to enjoy the consequences of these degenerate human beings. Well, numbers count in a democracy and they are the foundation of other governing systems through overt applications of force. So, the real problem is a progressive corruption of culture and the retrogressive behaviors it engenders.

INdian Visa application
i am confused regarding the process for obtaining an Indian Visa using vs global sevice
i have entered info on line and printed off form.
a coupld of bits you have to complete are odd- like reference in India ?
also teh jobs section is limited but i can you pick a nearest fit.
i then get a 2" x 2" photo ( bigger than normal passport size?)
and send off with passport and a declaration with a special kind of return envelope ?
also to send fees but says postal order? surely a cheque is ok ,
has anyone done this and is it as confusing as i think or am i being thick.
i live in Dorset so don't really want to pay to go up to London myself.
i am going 7 Feb , so guess have plenty enough time to work it out!
any advice thanks
I got mine OK beginning of december. I agree, very confusing.
I couldn't find a job remotely like mine but a close fit worked OK
I found the Indian reference from somewhere in all the information on the trip
A normal envelope was fine
A cheque was fine
I had to have the photos taken by the people in Jessops shops. Just tell them the size you want and they will do the rest.
I got everything back in a week
Good luck

Lenovo Looking to Buy Seagate, May Raise Political Concerns
Re:No wonder the US$ is in free fall (255 comments)
"The US economy in free fall grows at a rate of 4%/yr. China will have to grow at 10% for the next 100 years to equal it in size."
Your calculation is incorrect.
US GDP in 2006 was 5 times of China.
With your assumption that US economy grows 4%/yr, and Chinese 10%/yr.
5 * (1.04)^n = (1.1)^n
n = number of years = 29
Therefore with those grow rates it would take China 29 years to overtake US economy.
In reality the difference in their GDP grow rates is greater, so it should happen much sooner.

Just a few days ago I made the comment relative to budgets and said ask a hospital CEO what it is like to budget for things are exist tomorrow that are not here today, well this is pretty close, as an unexpected expense. The safety and effectiveness of the sterilizer can't be verified, so out they go and hospitals buy new ones.
Cost of Healthcare – Nobody Will Get This Right ... Anyway, this is a bit of a boom for competitor Johnson and Johnson as the agency has begun recommending the purchase of their product for a replacement. BD As mentioned below, FDA provides no financial assistance, the hospitals eat it. In the last year, the VA has been in the news about sterilization a few times with people being tested for hepatitis and HIV exposure, so there's no choice here at all.

I'm planning to plant Lycianthes rantonnei in our side yard to hide the ugly side of a Bird of Paradise growing in the neighbors' yard. I know it is easy care and loves the sun and can get very big.
I'm wondering how much space to allow it to grow full size in southern CA. I had one in the front yard that was too big for the space (before I knew better) and needed almost weekly pruning. I want to let this one go to full size. Will 8 feet on each side be enough? It will be near the drip line of a well-established (at least 25 years old) tangerine tree, but not touching the tree. |

There's one on my street that is untended, and it is about ten feet tall, twelve feet across, but bare all at the bottom. I think someone may hack it back at the bottom occasionally. You may also want to consider Duranta. Renee |
Thanks, Renee. Why do you recommend Duranta? |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Tue, Aug 17, 10 at 21:27
I like the growth habit. The branches cascade downward. I prefer the chartreuse/green or green/white variegated varieties to the plain dark green ones. They are evergreen, easy to prune and to keep to a nice shape, and they are not too messy. They don't get a woody, dead interior. I believe they can be damaged by frost, though. I'll try to get some good photos tonight and post them. |
Thanks, Renee. The reason I'm leaning toward the Lycianthes (or is it Solanum?) is because, having grown it before, I know how easy-care it is and the long bloom period (almost continuous and year-round) no matter how often it is pruned, its drought-tolerance, the flowers, etc... making it very suitable for this spot. You didn't mention its drought tolerance. The Lycianthes seems to thrive with just occasional water (in our rich clay soil). |
When I lived at the coast I grew Lycianthes. One was trained to a lollypop tree form the other was was allowed to grow free form. The free form was not dense enough and always looked straggly. The tree form required pruning so often to maintain the shape, it seemed I was always pruning off the flowers. After a few years I tired of them and grew something else. However I never saw a plant easier to grow, or more tolerant of a gardeners neglect. Al |
...I never saw a plant easier to grow, or more tolerant of a gardeners neglect. That's why I want to grow it. I did have one in the front yard, in a spot WAY too small for it (this was when I didn't know any better) and it needed almost constant trimming. I never sheered it ... I always just trimmed the branches that were too long or wayward. I didn't think it looked straggly, but maybe the frequent trimming helped that. Our neighbor has one which she allows the gardeners to sheer into a dense shrub -- a look I intensely dislike! The sheering makes it smaller than the plant in front of it and always cuts off the blooms. Fortunately, it bounces right back and is covered with new blooms in time for the next sheering. I don't think it gets much water and (except for the sheerings) always looks great. |
I have both duranta and blue potato bush in my yard, and I like them both. In my (limited) experience, I think the foliage is prettier on the duranta. Renee's right, it kind of waterfalls and I like variegated leaves. BUT, the lycianthes has great flowers year round, and I chop it back periodically to keep it from getting too straggly. |

WOW!! Beautiful! I mean your yard, not just the Duranta. I looks very pretty... does it need to be grown next to the fence? I would like something that is free-standing about 4-5 feet away from the fence so the flowers and leaves don't drop in the neighbor's yard, and to allow passage between it and the fence. |

Thanks Jenn. That pretty grassy path is now dirt. Sob. I think this one is a mutant- it's so big. My other ones are not so huge, and in particular, the green-leaved ones seem to stay smaller. My dad and my sister-in-law have them planted in a free-standing situation. They are usually not so top-heavy. Mine is like that because it is heavily shaded by the ivy and pyracantha and because I have trimmed it back at the bottom. When left to their own devices, I think they grow into more of a deodar-type shape. Renee |
Renee - that's beautiful! Jenn - one thing to consider if you want it next to a walkway, duranta, at least the kind I have, has VERY sharp thorns as I learned the hard way (oops) since mine is planted near the hose and sprinkler controls. But the flowers are SO pretty. |
Nancy, thanks for the tip on the thorns. Because of that, it would not be good for this particular spot. Renee, thanks for all the info on the Datura. It sure is beautiful! |

A two-door version of the next-generation Nissan Sentra compact hasn't been ruled out, according to a Ward's Auto report.
It's been many years since Nissan has offered a Sentra coupe, but if there's enough demand, we might eventually see a Sentra Coupe SE-R Spec-V.
To have that scenario reach reality, though, it will have to be a "high-volume and high-share" product.
"I'm not looking to fill every niche, every opportunity," said Larry Dominique, chief product planner for Nissan North America, to Ward's Auto. "If I let my product planners go, they could come up with 15 other cars we should have."
We're not sure where this leaves the upcoming Nissan Murano convertible, but we can tell you that Nissan hopes to reduce vehicle weight by 15 percent for models completely redesigned after 2015 compared to their 2005 predecessors. Using better construction methods, new materials, and re-engineered parts, Nissan believes it can reach its weight loss goals. A 15 percent weight loss can translate to an emissions improvement of up to 6 percent, an engineer for Nissan said to Automotive News.
It takes more than just good fuel economy to sell cars and, to that end, Nissan says that the next-generation Versa, Sentra, and Altima will more clearly look like they belong to the same family of vehicles.
Through the first eight months of this year, Versa sales are up 18.2 percent to 69,715 while Sentra sales are up 5.9 percent to 63,664.
Against competitors like the Honda Civic and Kia Forte Koup, do you think adding a Sentra Coupe would be a good idea for Nissan?

An epic finale, and it's in rhyme
And so we've reached the end of this mini-series. We start with Warren slowly freezing to death inside Mr. Freeze's cell. It's so cold in there that he actually loses his hair, nose and a few fingers, making him vaguely resemble a shark, more on that later. Etrigan has engaged the Skarva and Doodlebug all while narrarating in rhyme. We learn that the tongues from last issue belonged to the Skarva who take them, restoring their long lost ability to speak. The goal of Doodlebug and the demons is to summon forth a powerful demon called Cthugha, the same demon who had been Bug's muse this whole time. As Etrigan is subdued and Bug begins the ritual, the Skarva try to gather the inmates as sacrifices. They do so by summoning the ghosts of their past victims, including White's wormy assistant who he screwed over a few issues ago. He finds Warren and threatens to personally drag him to hell. Warren however having finally cracked is actually not frightened at all by the ghost of his former co-worker and instead berates him for having been weak and only killed himself because he was a coward. Then he decapitates him, yeah he decapitates a ghost. I guess his he has ghostly fingers and thumbs now or something, it's weird but who cares. Meanwhile, Batman stops the Joker from killing some guy named Allen Evenella. Yeah, Batman's still in this. Back to the cool part of the story, White encounters Jane Doe in the Warren White suit. He comments on how he's no longer that person, Jane is still the fish while the real Warren has become the Shark. SYMBOLISM! Anyway, the scene is cut short when Jane was to run from a whole army of her past victims, among them, Anne Carver who suddenly senses that she's needed elsewhere. White saves Humpty from the ghost of his grandmother who is shocked to see Warren so disfigured. He says that he should put him back together but Warren says sometimes to fix things you have to take them apart. Warren and Humpty make their way to the ritual chamber to see what all the fuss is about just as Doodlebug finishes summoning Cthugha, at the cost of his own life. Etrigan and myself both have a good laugh. The Skarva have summoned him in order to return to their positions as the torture lords of hell. Appartently the giant lovecraftian monstrosity that is Cthugha has a unique gimmick. Like Etrigan, he only speaks in rhyme but in turn can only understand others if they also speak in rhyme. Fortunately, Etrigan has cursed the Skarva's tongues so they would be unable to speak in rhyme. Warren, seeing a business opportunity agrees to use Humpty to help negotiate for them as Humpty speaks good rhyme to English. Cash makes his way into the room via the air vents. He sees what he's up against and thinks that he can't handle it and they should call Superman... or a priest. However, the ghost of Dr. Carver appears and assures him that he'll do just fine and Cash suddenly has a ghostly hand where his hook used to be. Cash charges in but the Skarva are ready and transform the remaining inmates into powerful monsters. Cash has no problem kicking their asses however. Etrigan gets free and helps Cash in the fight. So to recap, we have a badass prison guard and a Demon from hell fighting an army of Uber Batman Villains. This is awesome. The Skarva summon an Ultra powerful Killer Croc but Cash has gotten over his fear and tears off a piece of his skin with his bare hands. Meanwhile, Cthuga announces that he and White have struck a deal. So he leaves, taking the Skarva with him. Afterwards, White explains to Etrigan that part of the deal was that the Skarva would indeed become the torture lords of hell once again, but would be forced to torture each other. In exchange, when Warren gets to hell, he'll be sticking it to all the people who have made his life hell in Arkham. As the chaos subsides Jane Doe tries to escape, only to get punched in the face by Batman. Batman theorizes that the things they saw were a result of Scarecrow's fear gas so Doc Arkham decides to put his ass in the hole for three months. And so the series ends with Warren having re-established himself as a business man within Arkham using his connections to do favors for the inmates as well as having several guards in his employ. Warren sees a guy similar to what he used to be get off the prison bus and proclaims "Who's the new fish?" Oh and by the way, Cash apparently made a Wallet out of that piece of Killer Croc he tore off, nice.
What Works:
Wow... just wow. When I first read this I was not expecting it to get this balls out insane, but damn this really is an awesome finale. I love Cash and how badass he is fighting the monsters. I love that Etrigan gets spotlighted. This series overall is essentially a characters study of a sane man who was driven insane by being in Arkham. It's done very well and I highly recommend this series.
What Doesn't:
Nothing comes to mind. This really was an epic end to a great story.
Any of you who have read this retrospective, thank you. Now the only question is filling the time between now and the time school starts again when I have easier access to my local comic store.
