I purchased two great looking Crinum Asiaticum in an online auction. The bulbs are softball size and they have about 2 feet of growth left on them after being cut back for shipping. They were freshly dug before being shipped to me. The root system appears to be almost completely intact. Now what do I do with them? I live in Zone 8b just North of Houston. Do I plant them in the ground (raised bed, well drained), put them in 5 gal pots for now, or pack then in peat moss and wait till Spring to put them in the ground? |

Can you believe that I have a goofy crinum lily blooming now? Well, what is left of it. The snails devoured it as soon as the buds appeared. Don't know what its problem is. Has been in the ground at least 6-7 years and never done this before. |
Crinum can be planted anytime the ground is not frozen, and it has a long shelf life if you want to store them. Plant them just below the surface in good garden soil. I just moved some about two weeks ago, this will allow them to start growing roots prior to next spring. |

Hi: 1° Lo:-7°
AN AFFLUENT veneer is hiding real hardship in Stratford.
That is the message from the town's Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) which has helped more people than ever in the past year at its Meer Street office.
The charity, which relies heavily on volunteers to dispense free, impartial and confidential advice on a huge range of topics, helped over 5,000 clients in the past year with 14,500 different issues. Of those 5,000 related to welfare benefit and 1,500 to employment, a high percentage of which regarded redundancy.
Bureau manager Sue Green, speaking at the charity's AGM, said: "Many assume that relatively affluent communities like Stratford are almost immune to the fiscal pressures of a prolonged recession. They only see a throng of tourists and bustling activity in the High Street, but this sadly this masks a very real problem.
"There is genuine hardship here - the number of vulnerable people needing help from us due to money problems has more than doubled over the past two years. In fact, over the past 12 months or so we have handled £5 million worth of debt for our clients but in the process we've managed to save 76 households from homelessness.
"But we don't only pick up the pieces and help people get back on their feet. We're being pro-active in helping our clients be better prepared for the challenges that face them and some 1,300 people have had financial capability training from us in the past year.
"We hope that future funding can be secured to allow this pre-emptive, educational approach to become a regular feature of our armoury."
The news comes soon after calls were made by town leaders for the launch of a Food Bank to help relieve 'hidden hunger' in the district.
In August The Observer exclusively revealed Holy Trinity Church was investigating the possibility of setting up a food aid scheme after shocking statistics revealed over 2,000 households in the area were living in poverty, as defined by the government, and were struggling to get enough to eat.

An equipment failure left residents in Valencia and Saugus without power earlier than expected Wednesday…
"We did have a planned outage to start at 9 a.m. (Wednesday)," said Paul Klein, spokesman for Southern California Edison. "But apparently we experienced an equipment failure."
The source of the equipment failure turned out to be a transformer in Valencia, which resulted in the power going out at 2:50 a.m., more than six hours earlier than anticipated.
"We're in the process of replacing the transformer and possibly a switch," Klein said Wednesday.
Originally, the power outage affected 2,262 customers, but as of 9:40 a.m. Wednesday, only 300 customers were without power.
The area affected was south of Rotunda Road, north of Lyons Avenue, east of Interstate 5 and west of Vermont Drive in Valencia.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Hardcover)
Now considered a classic, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is C.S. Lewis's second book of The Chronicles of Narnia, which has captured the imaginations of children for several generations.
About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over one hundred million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Lewis escribio mas de treinta libros, lo cual le permitio alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aun atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada ano. Sus mas distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Cronicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.

Twelve years ago, Frank and Amy Faust bought a 6-acre plot of land in the Loess Hills countryside with the intention of building themselves a log cabin. Instead, they found themselves sidetracked by a new dream—starting a winery. At Sugar Clay Winery, the Fausts now produce up to 10,000 gallons of wine each year, yet, as they told KETV-7, they still take the time to cork each bottle by hand. Visitors can introduce themselves to 14 of Sugar Clay's proprietary varietals in the tasting room, such as the sangria-esque Loess Hills blush or a four-grape ambrosia blanc whose flavors morph from apple to butterscotch and almond with each sip. Outside, shaded decks house guests peering out on views of sloping valleys soundtracked by a chorus of birds hiding among the surrounding cedars. A fire pit warms sippers during crisper nights or on afternoons when a tour group of refrigerators shows up, and live musicians fill the air with notes from dulcimers and acoustic guitars.
In a style fitting with their sword-and-shield emblem, the King's Crossing Vineyard & Winery's yearly renaissance festival harks back to ye olden days with a weekend of days-of-yore-style entertainment. A Scottish band toots the soundtrack to the festivities as visitors hoist flagons of beer and wine and belly dancers enchant viewers with sultry undulations. With multiple opportunities for guests to demonstrate their feats of strength, the fest hosts an archery tournament and dueling matches fought with swords, maces, and enormous turkey legs. The afternoons are filled with informative demonstrations on renaissance life, performed by actors in full period dress.
The 1.5–2-hour event, which starts at 7 p.m. on a Friday of your choosing, takes place in the wine-tasting room. Set in a French Country House, the tastery features Nebraska vintages from sweet to dry, beer, food, and a wine troll. While sipping sips at the special after-hours event, you'll learn wine lessons from the vineyard's owner's daughter, who is studying to be a sommelier. The unintimidating course includes tips on how to rate, taste, and judge a wine, so you'll leave with the ability to determine if a wine has oaky undertones or hints of tire iron.
The masked chainsaw bearers and flesh-eating zombies may have earned Gateway of Chaos a top rating on Hauntworld.com for two-years running, but they don?t do it for the awards. The terrifying show??a combined effort of more than 50 volunteers?elicits screams to benefit the Malvern Area Betterment Association, a nonprofit working to better social, educational, and developmental growth in the Malvern community. In an all- new location comprising thousands of square feet, the haunted house also affords local actors plenty of space in which to flex their menacing muscles, and past years have seen the haunted house changing nightly to keep repeat visitors and ghostly real-estate agents on their toes.
Mead was known as the nectar of the gods ancient Greece, and Moonstruck Meadery takes its own mead-making tradition just as seriously. How much? Just take a look at the team's ever-stretching list of awards to see all the silver, gold, and bronze hardware the team has taken home at international competitions. Their winning creations include a traditional show mead made with alfalfa honey and wild clover as well as fresh-fruit meads that sparkle with summer flavors of cherry, peach, and blackberry. When visiting the meadery, come hungry: a substantial menu of food is available, including honey-crust pizzas that pair nicely with the spirits.
In the days before kegs and bottles, beer enthusiasts would have to cart a bucket to their local brewery, fill it up, and carry it (gently) home. Lucky Bucket Brewing Company pays tribute to brewing history both in its name and its traditional brewing techniques.
Lucky Bucket?s flavorsome creations are crafted inside an 18,000-square-foot brew house with a friendly and familial atmosphere. Gleaming silver fermenters give birth to bottles of a pre-Prohibition-style lager, a pleasantly floral IPA, and the dark, malty imperial porter Certified Evil, and a revolving lineup of their locally-made beer is on tap, featuring the Single Batch series.
The facility operates a craft brewery, as well as Cut Spike Distillery which turns out hand-crafted spirits such as Cut Spike Single-Malt Whiskey. The distillery ages it's whiskey for two years in brand new American oak barrels.

You might want to open a cold one before reaing this. I recently moved to Utah and saw that not long ago(couple years) hombrewing was illegal. I moved from Colorado so this kind of blew my mind. I thought "wonder if there are other states still against it" and I stumbled upon this article. I can't believe it. This is from 2012! Now before some says anything negative about the state or it's citizens, it is not the state or it's citizens but the one's making the laws that allow this to happen... Armed personel raid a hombrewing shop and take $7000+ worth of hombrewing BOOKS, Grain, carboys... I don't know if anyone @ BN has shined light on this but it affects ALL homebrewers and news like this should be spread around. We need to free our fellow homebrewers in Alabama. Here is the article:http://beerstreetjournal.com/alabama-ag ... gun-point/ What would be the best way, we as fellow homebrewers could help in a situation like this?
[COLOR="Navy"]Happy Brewing :)

That business is open now, sans homebrewing supplies. They were the one that made the mistake of trying to mix a package store with home brew supplies. While it is illegal to homebrew in Alabama it isn't illegal to operate a home brew store. Go figure. We have a good homebrew legalization bill that is ready for this legislative session. It was signed off on by any real opposition we had, the ABC board and the beer distributors. Alabama and Mississippi are the only states left where homebrewing is illegal.

thats why you have to go out in the woods and make Shine in those states; instead of beer in the garage. don't want those bastards rolling up on you in any case. LEGALIZE FREEDOM!!!
SMALL AXE BREWING "If you are a big tree, we are a small axe, ready to cut you down."-Bob Marley
Thanks Aubie. I just read there was another state but didn't know it was Mississippi. Sounds like this company has a big store in Georgia (HopCity) that has supplies with a package store. It makes sense as they promote a wide variety of brews which appeals to who? Homebrewers mostly Do you know if they got their goods back? How long before this goes up for voting again?
Hey Aubie, Anyone worth contacting to voice some support? I found this website and sent a respectable, supporting email about homebrewing:http://www.abcboard.state.al.us/(S(5...forcement.aspx Kind of ironic, they have a link for cocktails recipes. They show you how to make a 20% abv "Grown-Up Hot Chocolate" but confiscate your grain and plastic buckets

Laced.Slit-skin glances andsour tongue words slip straightinto my bloodstream and fester.And won't you please take back whatyousaid.
On wanting to commit suicide, she wrote.It feels likekeeping a secretfor a very longtime,keeping andkeeping andkeepinguntil suddenly youcan't speak for fearof spitting outthe truth.So it rests bitteron your tongue,and heavy on yourteeth.And you give into silence.
Depression.To be depressed isto carry every unwashed thingin your life in yourarms.The dishes youcouldn't clean pileup with your innards,jostling for spaceamongst the lungs you'vesmoked black and theheart you've lovedthin.Your unwashed sheetshang around your shoulders,gathering dead skin cells andcatching hair you habituallytear from your skull, anervous twitch you neverquite shook.You wake up one morningand find that your hands arestill stained with dirtfrom that time you buriedyour lover in the backyard,wanting to let gobut discovering that lettinggo feels a lot likegiving up andyou're not ready forthat yet,but you will be.
Damaged goods.Sometimes I tell them thatit's a birth defect,that when they draggedme from my mother's wombthey broke me,that my mother left the hospitalwith a cheque in hand to make up for"the accident," of course.Sometimes I tell themthat they said,"she'll live,but it'll hurt her."Because I live andit hurts me and I don't knowhow else to say,"I'm sad all the timeand I can't get out of bed somedays and I've considered thatnot living might bebeneficial to my survival,"and as they try to workthat out I'm heading for the doorwith my head down andmy dignity scraping along onthe floor.
Things I'll tell you when you're older.The monstersdon't fit under bedsanymoreand neitherdo we.
A letter I'll never send.The letter I keep writingto my children.'My darlings,I have never told youthat I once lost you to myown sadness,that your tiny flailingfists once made me feel as ifthe world was striking outat me through you.I used to feed you inthe bath tub, wondering ifperhaps I could let yourweight drag us under.I still believe that it wasyou who kept me afloat.I keep writing this letterto keep me calm, to keep me fromhating myself for ever thinkingof you as burdens.And someday I want to tell youthat I once lost myself tomy own sadness, and thatit was you that keptme here.'
If you need me to.This languagemight belong to theworld and hercitizens,butthis tongueand these wordsare mine.And if I needto spit endearmentsinto the city'shumble streetsfrom her skystretchingbonesto let youknow,then sobe god damnedit.I will.
Give me all your secrets...Give me all your secrets, that I might turn them into birds.I want you to tell meabout your childhood bruises,because darling,I want to knowwhat's made yougrow up so heavily.(So blue and green andyellowed skin.)I want you to tell meabout the bags underyour eyes,how you sat up all nightcrying for a boy on the newsyou'd never known,but thoughtyou could have lovedbecause his hipsstuck out above his jeansand that struck a chordwith the gap of yourlips.I want to know abouthow you wrote your own obituaryand sent it to the paper,just to see how many peoplewould call and abouthow you felt when no-onecalled.So tell me, darling,write your secrets on myback and let mecarry those burdenswith you.
A girl who wasn't you.I met her at the liquor store next door to the grocers.She held cheap whiskey in one hand and my wrist in anotherand I swear when she opened her mouth your voice came out andstrangled me."Don't I know you?"Her words curled around my throat,like calloused hands, like rope."I don't know, I can't breathe."And when her head fell back as she tipped her glass she lookedjust like you with her pinky raised too high and her hand onmy thigh and the pressure was gone. My chest rose and I tookher home.Her dress slid down and that sultry stare was justlike you and as we fell to the floor because the bed was too far Icouldn't help thinking, this is how it should have been.But in the harsh light of morning with the empty bottle besidemy bed I realised I made you up inside my head and laughed,that's so like you.

In my bathroom againGod's in my bathroom again,he's shaving the patches of hisbeard and pulling clown-facesat the soap. Last nighthe held me as I lay in a fever,made little screams, keptthe hot tongues from my face,the mushrooms from myspine.He says his old girlfriendtried to drink his blood, thatit messed him upfor a while. He saysit's been a long time.God looks sad, jingling histeeth at me like loosechange. The clicks of myheart make me sick;folding his pyjamaswould bethe kind thingto do.
A letter to myself.You're destroying yourselfand I love you.Your arms arebarbed wireand I love you.You pull themacross yourcageribskinand I love you.You're a one and twenty year,eight month old war andnobody's a winnerbecause there's onlyyou in this skin.I left you alonebut I love you.I wrote you a poemand I love you.I'm full of youand I love you.
lovesong for sailorboyRead aloud and explained (somewhat) here.i have always loved words as you love the seabut i have grown to hate prepositionsbecause i have always had wordsabout youwith youto you--but never for you.words for everything except you.but i have words for this, soi'll take them one by one.about.the ocean was your first love andi could always see it in your eyes.most would call them blue--justblue like a swell over a sandbarblue like the spring sky over a poppy field.but i don't think anyonegot as close as i did and they're not bluenot shorebound andsafe--they're gray like the steelbellied sea itselflike the horizon at dawn as itencircles youhems you into an impossibly vast canvaslike a demarcation lineor a promise. one you always chased.with.maybe i had a streak of ocea
ZestSunset is early,a cast-off orange peelfloating on the lake.
Honestly dishonest.I'd kissed you seventeen times before they tore meaway from the coffin.This could be tragically romantic but I'm lying;I wasn't allowed through the chapel doors.
if people didn't filter their emotions and justthrowing yourself onfloors doesn't fix anything,but it sure seems to.
Ocean EyesYour skin would be laceBetween my fingertips,Tangling with streamsOf golden sunlight thatButton you up,Leaving intricate patternsThat tell your secretsWith every thread.You'd breathe like a mermaid,The scent of the sea echoingIn our veins,Like teenage heartsPumped full of lust.Too fast.Like heels on marble floors,But you're soMuch closerThan that.You're blood in my lungsAnd air in my heart,But I live onlyOff the raindropsThat fall fromYour soft, sea-stone eyesWhen a smile curves your lips.The edgesGathering me,Unraveling me.(I carve you in the sand,But ocean tearsWash you away.)
What they never teach you about grief1. You will not cry demurely in socially acceptable situations.Instead you shall perform the walkinghowl;and cry hysterically, calm down, and cry, and calmas you try to gather yourself on the way to the station.2.You will be late for work - you will see the dress you worelast time you saw your lost one -and you will hold it and breathe into it as if maybe just maybeyou will smell them or feel them or it will change thingsand then find you cannot hold it together while wearing it,change, and miss your train.3.You will find this happens over and over and you buy new thingsso that they are not 'oh I wore this with you and now you are gone'but also, you will stand in the fitting room and sobbecause now they will never see how smart you look in this.4. You will keep face 95% of the time and then ruin itby crying in the toilets and being sent home. 5.You will still want to laugh and socialise and drink and kissbut all these things will
GreyI like the color grey;it's not black and it's not white,but sometimes it's a little blue.

It's no secret that we're big fans of Amy Schumer, and we're freaking out over this new preview for her hilarious show, Inside Amy Schumer, which will return for a second season on April 1 at 10:30/9:30c on Comedy Central. I personally can't stop watching the 2-minute clip, and it's just serving to make me impatient for the amazingness that's in store for the new season. The lineup of guest stars is littered with past BUST cover girls, including Janeane Garofalo and Parker Posey, which makes sense since, SURPRISE, Amy Schumer will grace the cover of BUST's Apr/May issue! And I don't wanna spoil anything, but you are going to flip out when you see the photo spread. Until then, go LOL or whatever type of Internet laughs people do now, over this hilarious clip.

-> The J0ker posted... Amazon.com: Only available at scalper prices TiamatKiller posted... Which is ironic considering that many people believe that the Wii U multi-plat games look only as good as their Sony/MS counterparts. If you're looking for a graphical showcase for what a system can do, you shouldn't be looking at multiplats. Come on man, you know that. | |
The J0ker posted... Amazon.com: Only available at scalper prices online is one thing but both of the BB"s near last time i was there had at least the white models... --- Ex Sony Fanboy | |
So, Wii U had one of the best console launches this whole decade and that makes it doomed? Stay classy, fanboys. --- Your favorite game will always be underrated. Their favorite game will always be overrated. | |
MathewManson posted... To begin...what hype? The Wii U had and still has no hype--those mentioning "hype" are clearly deluded to the launch of this system. Lack of launch titles? Are most of you twelve, missing the launch of every other home console in existence? The Wii U is out for a week, it sells better than the 360 and PS3 in their first weeks, though we will compare the sales of the Wii U to a system which has been upgraded like three or four times now and is targeting a casual audience with cheaper prices and Kinect? Now I know why the United States has so many problems. Yeah, the media hype has been average-above average. But the anti-hype has been through the roof. When you consider that factor the Wii U's sales are actually really impressive. The Wii had a lot of **** thrown at it no matter how well it sold. The Wii U was going to get a massive hate campaign whether if it was overpowered or not. Look at all the hate the Pro Controller got. That was built to be what the "hardcore" claim they wanted Nintendo to do. Imagine if the Wii U was everything the Pro controller stands for. Do you think there would be nothing but love? No, they would have just reverted back to calling Nintendo kiddy again and regurgitate the "third party game don't sell on Nintendo" talking point. | |

Celebrity Apprentice: Did Snow White Lisa Rinna Get A Raw Deal?
Actress and Host Lisa Rinna got booted from Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice last Sunday and it wasn't a pretty site. Dionne Warwick and Star Jones, flaming Scarletts, were a tough tag team against Rinna and ultimately even Trump agreed, Rinna was out.
Now, according to E!, Jones is filing suit against Rinna for harrassment over tweets posted demeaning Jones. One particularly damaging picture was of Rinna with a cartoon monster with the quote: "Great Shot of Me and Star Jones."
So what's the deal?
What I know from my work with love sabotage is that Snow Whites don't like Scarletts. Scarletts don't like Snow Whites. And neither of them have much time for Rapunzels. What ends up happening is that women are enraged at each other and rather than banding together to create something good, they undermine each other. Some in numbingly public ways.
Lisa was hurt by the blatant disrespect and lack of support Warwick and Jones displayed. Making it worse, Trump agreed. Being publicly flogged for her weaknesses as a leader, Rinna struggled to defend herself. Even though Jones and Warwick were clearly off the mark in their ideas for the project. Rinna paid the consequences. Her sweet nature wouldn't let her rant and blame. Hello, sister.
Can a Snow White be successful in business? Not for Mr. Trump! His team is better served by the sharp Scarlett style. It would have been interesting to have Ivanka in the room. I wonder how she would have communicated to Lisa.
Here are some of the challenges a Snow White faces in business:
1. Being Sweet: Now everyone LOVES Snow White as a friend or partner. Why? One word: Accommodating. Snow White can't stand for people to be upset with her. She will bend over backwards to avoid conflict. She is compromised in negotiations because she hates going for the jugular. Rinna did NOT want the Project Manager role but accommodated the demands of others. Snow White through and through. Even when she posted the tweet...she used a cartoon style character!
2. Being Diffuse: Some might call it scattered or even disorganized. Snow White is tremendously creative. When she cooks, the kitchen looks like a hurricane hit it. She can multi-task and work on three projects at the same time. She is able to filter out the non-essential and when she is passionate about her task, her creativity makes real magic. Warwick and Jones not only withheld support and guidance, they raked Rinna over the coals for her very nature.
3. Being Vulnerable Under Attack: Snow White does not attack...unless under extreme stress. Wanting to see the best in others, she does not focus on weaknesses and would never criticize someone in public. Star Jones would be a smart choice as your attorney with her shark like persnality, her Scarlett nature serves her. Snow White's posting of the pic of "Star the Monster" is not the best way to deal with a problem, agreed, but it wasn't all that brutal of an attack either.

I try to do most of the normal boat maintance myself, but as always there are some items that I don't have the knowledge or tools to do it right. I have found that 87% of the time I do require another person to do a job, I find that I have to go behind them to,
1. Ensure that what I wanted was done correctly (not Half A***d)
2. Clean up the area where the work was done
At a rate of about $65.00 per hour I really get upset having to do this. One time I had a DC system rewired and you wouldn't belive the trash all over the place, I had so much scrap electrical junk in the bilge, I was afraid to use the bilge pump, I had to crawl in there and hand the junk to my wife bit by bit.
Anyway I do try to fix thing's myself, that way when it breaks down again I can only blame myself.

This coming spring I will be gardening on a balcony. I currently garden in raised beds with the exception of a dryer drum. The raised beds are filled with 100% compost and do extremely well. The dryer drum is filled with 5 sq. ft. Osmocote potting soil and doing very poorly. I think it is a water retention problem. Has anybody had similar experience? I won't have my compost bins anymore and I don't trust commercial compost. My best guess is I will have to water every day or install a irrigation system. Any suggestions are appreciated. John |

Follow-Up Postings:
To gain more perspective into soils and water retention in container environments, I would suggest reading "Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention XVII", written and posted by Tapla, within this forum. It's a great knowledge base from which to begin, in my opinion, and has helped numerous gardeners, including myself, understand their growing issues from the soil up, as it were. The article talks in depth about soil and water in that confined environment from a scientific point of view, and how it relates to the needs of the plant's roots. Healthy plants begin with healthy root systems, and growing within the rather confined space of containers is vastly different than growing in the garden/ground. When it comes to soils, Tapla is our resident "go-to guy"! Happy Gardening! |

Thanks for the link jodik, good information but making my own potting soil won't be an option in my new residence. After reading the post, I am wondering if Miracle Grow with moisture control is worth the price difference. I wonder what they use for moisture control. John |

Do some research through the forum archives on Miracle Gro potting soils - I think you will find that consensus on this product is pretty poor and even poorer on the "moisture control" formulation. The moisture control product most often used with commercial potting soils is acrylic polymer crystals (brand name, 'Soil Moist', 'Watersorb'), the same thing they use in disposable diapers. One does not necessarily need to make your own to obtain a good quality potting soil. Sometimes it is just a matter of locating a good commercial base product (NOT the MG!!) and adding to it, either drainage enhancers like pumice, perlite or clay and/or texture and durability with bark fines. |

Retaining water is what you want to avoid unless your schedule does not allow you to water plants often. Your mention of being able to water daily should alleviate the need for something like that, and watering almost any pot daily, especially one so big, and that has a predominance of peat or moisture control crystals in it is probably way too much/often. Does the dryer drum container have a hole in the bottom? Some soils come with time-release fertilizer in them, so adding more can be too much. Could that be an issue? |

I started a new series on my blog where I sew a garment inspired by an old family photo of my mum, aunt and grandma. This blouse was inspired by a dress my aunt wore, so I took the peter pan collar and the dots and translated them into a contemporary blouse.
Read more about the project on my blog where I also explain, how to sew a concealed button panel.

On March 12, 2014, the Department of Labor (DOL) published in the Federal Register a proposed amendment to its disclosure requirements for "covered service providers" to retirement plans under ERISA § 408(b)(2) that would require a separate "guide" if those disclosures are contained in multiple or lengthy documents.
Under the proposal, a guide would be required if a covered service provider's 408(b)(2) disclosures are contained either in more than one document or in a document in excess of a (to be determined) specified number of pages.
The proposed guide would not be a summary of the disclosures. Instead, it would be a roadmap to the location of all the required information in the disclosure documents, i.e., of:
For each of these disclosure elements, the guide would provide a document and page reference, or other "sufficiently specific locator" such as a section number or a hyperlink to each required element of the disclosure that would enable the responsible plan fiduciary to "quickly and easily" find the required disclosure.
Also, the guide would be furnished as a document separate from the disclosure materials, with the intent that it would be prominently identified to the responsible plan fiduciary reviewing the disclosures, and include contact information for a person or office available for questions about the location or substance of the disclosures.
Changes to the information provided in the guide would have to be furnished only annually.
In its regulatory impact analysis, DOL estimated that there are approximately 12,000 covered service providers furnishing 408(b)(2) disclosures, and their additional cost to provide the guide would not exceed $22.2 million annually.
DOL specifically requested commentary on numerous aspects of the proposal, signaling a possibility that any final rule could diverge materially from the proposal. Comments are due June 10, 2014. DOL also intends simultaneously to conduct focus groups among small plan sponsors to test the efficacy of current 408(b)(2) disclosures and of the proposed guide. DOL expects to publish the results of its focus group testing after the close of the comment period, and may reopen the comment period in light of those results.

How so? Most performers who've just issued their first album on a new label are prudent enough to avoid slagging their imprint's parent company. But not Johnson, 38, who goes after Seagram, owner of the nothing records subsidiary that just put out Naked Self, The The's latest, with the enthusiasm of a starving dog in a butcher shop.
"The conglomerization of the record industry is very worrying, and Seagram is one of the worst offenders," he declares in a British accent thick with indignity. "I don't think it has any business running a music company, to be honest; they should stick to drinks. The music industry is unlike an industry where you're dealing with inanimate objects, because you're dealing with people's feelings on both sides: the people who create the music and the people at the record company who really need to be enthusiastic about it in order to bring the best of it to other people's attention. It's not the same as selling cans, drinks or cars, and I don't think you can go about it in the same way -- and the rumors that I hear through the industry bear me out. In talking to a lot of people who work for them, the dismay amongst the employees is shocking, and the morale is terrible."
Such comments call the phrase "career suicide" to mind. But despite his trademark disregard for self-censorship, Johnson, now living in New York City near Wall Street, has managed to maintain a nice standard of living in a notoriously fickle profession for around two decades -- a far greater span than the ones enjoyed by uncounted musicians who assumed that the road to longevity was paved with the principles of sucking up and playing by the rules. It'd be nice to think that quality had something to do with it, especially considering that Naked Self is quite a potent offering. But odds are good that Johnson has survived in large part because of his single-minded persistence and a passion that has hardly flagged since the early '80s. The majority of angry young men who emerged during the original punk and new wave era have either mellowed substantially (Elvis Costello) or turned into parodies of themselves (John Lydon, who's now trotting out his Johnny Rotten shtick for the amusement of aging VH1 viewers). Johnson, however, still seems to harbor a bottomless reservoir of resentment and anger. Even the popularity of innocuous teen pop riles him up.
"There's so much dross out there now and it's shocking that they can get away with it," he says. "I can't believe the tolerance level of the general public. Maybe they're starting to turn it off -- I don't know -- but I'm surprised it's taken so long for something to come along and blow this stuff out of the water. Because it's enough to drive you around the twist."
At the same time, Johnson takes pains to leaven his inveterate misanthropy with the occasional upbeat remark. When he refers to himself as an "optimist," he instinctively pauses to allow for the laugh he knows this assertion will prompt. But he repeatedly argues that the obstacles to creative expression endemic to the current music environment actually present artists with wonderful opportunities (he praises the DIY approach to commerce associated with Frank Zappa and Ani DiFranco) and acknowledges in an awkward but sincere manner the impact on him made by his son, Jack, who's three.
"It just opened me up," he says. "The whole experience of seeing your child born touches you in ways that you can't even imagine. It's not something that can be contrived, and it really affected this album."
Don't worry: Naked Self isn't a collection of marshmallowy lullabies for the pre-toilet-training set. The disc, built around a support crew consisting of onetime Iggy Pop guitarist Eric Schermerhorn, MC900 Foot Jesus drummer Earl Harvin and studio pro Spencer Campbell, is overwhelmingly dark and foreboding, with plenty of jagged guitar noises and doomy tempos complementing Johnson's meditations on urban angst ("Boiling Point"), ennui ("Shrunken Man") and exploitation ("Swine Fever," which kicks off with the inspirational lines "Fee fi fo fum/Smell the blood of a gullible bum/Brain dead bored bought into the fraud/Bigger! Harder! Faster! More!"). And while the three songs Johnson wrote for Naked Self following Jack's arrival on the planet are more melodic than his other inventions, they won't cause many listeners to compare him with Little Mary Sunshine. "Soul Catcher," for instance, includes the verse "I can barely face it/My life is halfway through/And I still haven't done/What I'm here to do," while "Weather Belle" is a snapshot of passing strangers ("It's the first and the last time/That we'll ever meet") that's more dour than wistful. As for the delicate, acoustically driven "Phantom Walls," it juxtaposes outwardly benign advice ("Open your heart again/And let the walls dissolve") with sentiments that can be read in a decidedly creepy way, such as "Don't try to run away/Because pain can be your friend." Thank you sir; may I have another?

The 31-year-old centre-back is content that his off-pitch troubles are now over and is excited by the fresh faces being brought to Stamford Bridge this summer
Chelsea captain John Terry is pleased to be back playing again and says he is focusing on football after a summer to forget, off the pitch.The England international, fresh from fighting a court case for allegedly racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, was subsequently acquitted of all charges and is keen to get back to matters on the pitch, after playing, and scoring, during his side's 3-2 friendly defeat to the MLS All-Stars.
"I'm delighted to get back to football, concentrate on what I love doing," Terry told reporters.
"I'm very pleased to be here with the side and concentrating on getting fit first and foremost – and cracking away early on in the season.
"We have got some big games coming up and I'm looking forward to being part of that."
The club have strengthened heavily this summer with the arrivals of Eden Hazard from Lille, Marko Marin from Werder Bremen and Oscar from Internacional taking the club's spending over £65 million, but Terry believes this is merely a sign that owner Roman Abramovich's interest in the club is as strong as ever.
He added: "He's down at the training ground, he's around the hotel, he wants to know what's going on, what kind of training we are doing.
"It is really refreshing to see and I think it's good for the new players to see that.
"You have to [spend]. You look at what other clubs are doing, what Man City are doing, even PSG who I thought were very good the other day [in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in New York].
"There is so much money out there. Even after winning the Champions League it is so important that we keep competing. And thankfully we have got an owner who is very much prepared to do that."
Turning his attentions to the international scene and Terry is hoping to be a part of Roy Hodgson's friendly squad for their match against Italy in Switzerland on August 15, the side's first game since they were knocked out by the Azzurri at the quarter-final stage of Euro 2012.
"It's encouraging when you take a step back," Terry insisted. "Obviously being knocked out was disappointing but under Roy it was good.
"And it's important that I'm here now. Just concentrating on my football."

When you sart to learn English ,how you remember new words from learning?
The most effective way for me is learning by doing, that is use it instead of memorizing it. At first you can try explain the new word to others in plain English (You can get it from some English-to-English dictionary like longman) and then use it and say it time by time. That is it!
I search lyrics songs, and look for the words i dont know, and each time i sing them, those words come to my head over and over again :D
Listen to the word's pronunciation, say the word, write the word.
It helps to use the Dolch List of the most common English words.
Very Good Alejandra!
I use e-flashcards like Anki, Mnemosyne, etc, lyrics, audiobooks with the transcript, reading news articles (with and without audio), (e-)books, and blog posts to learn vocabulary. I usually like to learn vocabulary through content. So that way I know how to effectively use the new words or phrases.
Read lots of novels and practice.
Yeah,rencently i am listening to Enlish music ,and i learn new words from the lyrics,i think it is a good way for me to remember.
And i also learn to sing English songs,i find that it is hard ,but don't worry i will study hard.
Keep it in mind , to learn vocabulary is to speak or write . To practice your words is the king .
