WebhostingDay: Open-Xchange to Initiate Open Data Cloud
Rafael Laguna de la Vera, CEO of Open-Xchange AG, gave Linux Magazine Online a preview of his upcoming Open Data Cloud at the WebhostingDay 2009 (WHD09) in Cologne, Germany
Laguna de la Vera wants soon to release an open specification and implementation that extracts contacts out of social networks and converts them into an open microformat. Desired applications, such as Open-Xchange, can then read and further process this data.
At WHD09 he showed how Open-Xchange can flow this data into HTML pages, whereby the contacts on these pages can be made accessible to other users. There would also be access controls. A typical use scenario that Laguna mentioned was address synchronizations so that users can match their contacts in groupware, such as in the Xing social network. A further example comes new-to-build work or interest groups that, according to appropriate access controls, can view the datasets of each other in order to get in contact.
The specification and reference implementation that Laguna wants to put under GPL should help rework datasets, from sources such as Facebook, into desired applications. Input on this from the community is welcome, says Laguna.

text: Add to your home's living space by bring your audio and video entertainment outdoors. Outdoor living is in vogue. In climates ranging from the southwest deserts to the colder climates of the upper plains and Northeast, many homeowners are investing in outdoor spaces to enjoy year-round outdoor living. These spaces are just as much a part of house as a family room or kitchen, which makes them natural places to enjoy music and video. Imagine filling the patio or backyard with music for summertime cookouts, watching sports on a high-definition flat panel while lounging in the pool or inviting the neighbors over for outdoor movie night on the 100" outdoor home theater screen in the backyard. Image enjoying your music while gardening in the spring, raking leaves in autumn or roasting marshmallows over the patio fire pit on a winter's evening. It's not only possible, it's probably more affordable than you think. Outdoor entertainment options have come a long way in the last few years. Gone are the days of dragging out a portable audio system for occasional entertaining. Today's installed outdoor entertainment products deliver the same sound and video quality you expect indoors and are designed to be used year-round on patios, decks, pool areas and other outdoor retreats. Outdoor Speakers Inspired by home theater designs, newer outdoor speaker packages offer small satellite speakers that can be optimally placed for stereo imaging and enveloping sound. Some are designed to look like outdoor lighting fixtures, while others offer more traditional rectangular designs. To round out the sound, unobtrusive subwoofers complete the package by adding solid bass frequencies. You can also chose among other discrete designs, like faux rocks, tree stumps, planters and other landscape themes that let speakers blend into your outdoor décor. Simply connect outdoor speakers to a wireless multi-room music system, a full-fledged custom multi-room A/V solution or simply to the "Zone 2" output of your existing home theater or A/V receiver. Outdoor Video A growing category of products, outdoor video brings movies and TV shows to your patio or poolside. Specially designed outdoor flat-panel sets pack high-definition video into a weather resistant case that's perfect for covered spaces like bars, screened-in porches and gazebos. For movie watching, outdoor projectors and screens can be incorporated into fully functioning patio furniture. The options are endless. Whether you're a city dweller with only a small outdoor area or you have a large backyard retreat, spruce up your outdoor space with audio and video entertainment.

Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
DC Daray Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt - Women's
? Share a...
Yep, it's a hoody.
I really love this hoody. The midnight is a very, very dark blue, it's dark enough that some might mistake it for black. I really like the color, and the DC graphic is nice too. I'm picky about colors and they got it right by going for a darker than you would expect blue. The fit is great too, I got a medium and it fits me just right, not too short or too long, and it hasn't shrunken even after a couple of washes. Very comfortable, wore it on a plane and it was fine for cramped seat napping.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the color bleeds a bit. I usually wear just a tank underneath it and if I sweat even a teeny tiny bit then my armpits will be tinted blue afterwards. It's kind of gross but ultimately not too big of a deal for me. It might be for you though. I just make sure I wear an actual t-shirt if I think I'm going to sweat. I don't really wear white underlayers but if I did I would worry they might get turned blue-ish. As I said above, I have washed it a few times and it still bleeds a bit, but it might be getting less the more I wash it. Not sure yet, time will tell.


text: I was rooting around my moms house this weekend and found a 5" Buck knife that had been my brothers when we were kids in the 70's. Being kids, we didn't take very good care of it and the blade is kind of scratched up like I tried to sharpen it with a rock from the creek. Nothing major but could use a little help. What is the best way to take out the minor scratches and scrapes that have been inflicted upon this beautiful knife? I was thinking some fine steel wool but wanted to see what a more knowledgeable person might suggest.

Wondering if anyone could point me in a direction for the following... I want to create a search page on my site. I have been able to create a simple 'wildcard' type search i.e. one textbox which searches every column in my table. I am trying to create more of an advanced search so the user can select combinations of things and see the result e.g. they could search a user with first name 'Joe', who work at 'PizzaHut' and who have logged in during 'July', it's all set up in the database, just not sure how to implenent into a php page...
Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Submitted by Vickie on
You came home today and dinner wasn't done, the toys were everywhere,
and I told you that it was your turn to put the kids to bed. You sighed
and rolled your eyes. You looked a bit frustrated. So was I. Let me
explain why in a way you'll understand it.
I know you like to keep your workspace neat. You keep your pens in a
convenient spot, your papers are organized--even the icons on your
computer desktop are right where you want them. Imagine if every time
you went to use the bathroom or the break room, you came back to find
that some little desk imp had come out while you were gone, even if
you'd only been gone five minutes. Your pens are scattered, half are
missing lids, and one was used to color on your cubicle wall. Your
papers have random scribbles on them, some are torn and crumpled, and
you can't find that important office memo that you knew you left in a
conspicuous spot. Even the icons on your computer have been rearranged,
and there are fingerprints on the screen. You'll loose part of your
afternoon straightening up, and if you go to the vending machine to
reward yourself with a candy bar for a job well done, you'll come back
to find your space torn up again.
Now lets change up your coworkers. I know some of them have accents
that are pretty thick. Let's say you can hardly understand a word they
say. They really want to tell you something, but you aren't getting it.
You try, but even with some wild charades thrown in, you can't make
out what they want. Then they get upset because, once you finally
figure out they were asking you for a highlighter, you gave them a
yellow one when they wanted orange. They throw it across the room,
stamp their feet on the floor, and scream in your face. That isn't all.
They have two feet and two hands that are fully functional, but if
they need something in another room, they always ask you to get it for
them. If you ask them to complete their part of a group assignment,
they give you a lot of excuses why they couldn't do it. If you insist,
then they tell you that you are mean and won't speak to you for a while.
If you complain to your boss, he'll just tell you that is the way
they are.
What about the work you do? I know you have some pretty big projects
coming down the line. Lets say you do them to the best of your ability.
You leave for the night, take some time to relax, then come back the
next day to find that your computer ate your work. You try every avenue
you know, you call in tech support, but it is gone and you have to
start over. Lets say that happens every day for a week. Then for a
month. Would you take it for a year?
If every day your desk was messed up when you didn't do it, your
coworkers were difficult to work with, and nothing you ever did stayed
done, how long would it take before you gave up? A week? Two weeks?
You've got some staying power, I know, but soon enough even you would
crumble. You'd bang your head on your desk, pull at your hair, and turn
in your two weeks' notice.
I think you can see exactly where this is going, so perhaps it would be
redundant to tell you that there are little imps here at home that
ensure that nothing stays clean for long. You know what it is like to
deal with a toddler in a tantrum because you're dad and you've tackled
the time outs, too. You help with the dishes, so you know that the sink
is seldom empty. The laundry could all be clean and put away at night
only to be in dirty piles again in the morning. Once I tell you what my
day has been like, you're pretty quick to help out.
Still, you might wonder why I don't quit. Why I'll never quit. In case
I haven't told you lately, let me tell you why. It's because I love
you and those dastardly little imps. Madly. With wild abandon. Though
having the house clean, the laundry folded, and the dishes put away
does carry some of its own reward, I don't do it because I enjoy it. I
do it because I desperately love the ones I'm doing it for. When you
tell me the dinner was delicious, when you notice the bathroom is
sparkly clean and thank me for it, and when your kids give me sticky
kisses and tell me they 'wuv' me, I melt all over again.
Yes, sometimes I'll be frustrated. Some days I'll need a break (thank
heavens for date night, or even late nights spent doing nothing more
than watching a show with you). There may even be times when I don't
want to do it, but I'll come back around. I'll do it. Maybe not all in
one day, and maybe there will seldom be days when everything is done
well, but I'll keep at it. You and those precious little people who
look like you make it worthwhile.
When you find your socks folded and put in their place, when you come
home to a warm balanced meal, and when you see your kids happy and busy
playing in a cluttered room that is clean underneath, I hope you'll see
those moments for what they are. Little pieces of my heart. Small
expressions of a very big love. When I don't get it all done, I hope
you won't mistake that for a lack of love. I'm just very human and I
don't always have the time or the drive to do it all. My love is as
constant as dirty dishes, as lasting as the piles of clothes in the
laundry room, and as tenacious as our two year old when she clings to a
piece of candy. Although you might not say it quite the same way, I
know you feel it, too. With that in mind, maybe our bad days are still
pretty darn good.

She's MY FRIEND!
Vickie and I have been friends for a few years now and I am so thrilled she finally shared this! She has some wonderful musings on life and marriage and children, and it's mind boggling to think I get to rub elbows with such an intelligent, articulate Momma!
Vickie, you always make me smile, even in the darkest of times. I love you, my dear friend. I look forward to reading many more letters over the years and I hope to share some of them with my children, when they get older. You have the most amazing family, I can't thank you enough for letting me be a part of it. :)

backup server
here is what I've planned for my backup server:
2 x 80GB (1 of them for redundancy)
2 x hard drive fans
The rest will be old hardware and a hard drive for the OS (FreeBSD).
Key items:
I'll likely have remote servers rsync data (or just run them off its crontab).
Monitoring hard drives with smartmontools and shutdown if its check fails.
Does anyone have any comments/suggestions? I haven't setup a backup server before so I'm not sure how it will turn out (also not sure if rsync is ideal)

CHANDIGARH: The new year saw 17 new lives beginning in city's public hospitals. Some of the well-known private clinics also registered one or two births each.
Dr Indu Prabhar, gynaecologist at a Sector-16 based clinic, said, "There was no fad for New Year babies this time. That was the case when millennium was approaching."
All deliveries in public hospitals were emergency cases. Kiran, a resident of Mohali, who gave birth to her first child, had not planned her delivery. "The delivery was due. It just happened on January 1," she said.

What do you guys think would be a creative new team set-up?
I've read a lot of recent posts about how there seems to be a specific order in which the champions must be played. So tell me, other than the current meta, what is the most creative team set-up you can think of that might actually work?
Top - Sustain Mage (Vladimir, Swain, Karthus, Cassiopeia)
Mid - Carry able to hold the lane (Ezreal, Caitlyn) Bottom - Mana Manipulator Sona/Soraka + Veigar And a jungle of course. Ban Taric and/or Graves and bottom lane is fine |
Better ban talon also because if you don't your top Mage will get blown up
My grand master plan: Urgot, Blitzcrank, Alistar, Skarner and Singed.
I have a vision of Urgot going mid, swapping an enemy where Blitz immediately picks up rocket grab. Skarner then drags them to Singed. Singed throws, Alistar is behind him facing the other way for the punt. I just want to see how far you can get one guy. :P Edit: I'll admit I would not win a great many matches, but who knows? Maybe the new meta IS in displacement? O_o |
I always like Kennen, Shen, Akali combo. Maybe add Soroka for the support and Lee Sin for the jungle.
Shen initiates, Kennen stuns, Akali and Lee Sin clean up any survivors. Soroka heals for good measure. |
i've been interested in seeing a basic team comp (jungler, ap caster solo mid, solo top, and a usual ad cary bot with soraka as the support) however, the soraka will roam completely (cv and teleport for summoners). because of her mana and health heals she'll basically act like a roving health platform. she'll junction between each lane for short periods basically bringing the healing and mana regen to the solo lane champs (and the jungle) to avoid them ever having to b and to reduce their need to buy health pots/mana pots thus freeing up gold. it's probably been done before, i've heard tales of the cows who roamed the rift in years past and their magestic punts, but soraka has the boosted ability to heal and regen mana for the laner. this gives 3 (4 if you count jungle) lanes worth of solo exp. and soraka doesnt need the gold or really much moving into late game to be viable provided she uses her silences and heals at the right times
I enjoy games where you have two tanks (e.g Leona and Rammus) then as long as you have some damage dealing characters AP and AD carries things tend to go pretty well. The pure CC from two people both playing tank is amazing.
I was galio earlier today and had another tank Alister. I flash in and ulti, alister knocks up, by this point Brand and Graves have killed Cait and Vegia. The rest of their team run. So two pure tanks is something I would like to see more of. |
Orianna, Morgana, Tristana, Janna, Shyvana
Then you hope that their mics break up at the start of words. |
ban eve, janna (she too pretty)

Recent Florida Panhandle Reviews
Perfect weather, nice location, beautiful room
We recently spent 6 nights at Karen's place. First, she is a wonderful hostess and easily so easy to contact. She answered every question quickly and with detail. The room was perfect for 2 people. Every morning we were able to walk in different directions and explore Rosemary, Alys, Inlet and Seacrest. Dinner choices were plentiful and all within walking distance. We loved Havana Beach and Wild Olives for dinner and The Donut Hole for breakfast. The small pool is right outside the door, but we took the short walk to the lagoon pool, which was lovely with palm trees and lots of seating. We did find the beach walk a bit of a hassle with coolers, chairs, etc. as it really isn't directly across the street. I think during the summer season the shuttle runs regularly, they weren't running while we were there. I do wish there had been somewhere to hang towels and bathing suits, but that seriously is a small complaint when you consider Karen has fully stocked her place and you can literally show up with just your bathing suit, clothes and sunscreen! You can tell she takes pride in the small and large details of her studio. Thank you for a nice week.
Relaxing getaway
This was a great place to stay. It was right in the mix of everything. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. We will be staying here again next time I visit my sister. Thanks Benny :)
Great Trip in a Fantastic Condo
I recently stayed in Reba's Retreat for a long holiday weekend. My family (two adults and two young children) had a fantastic time. The unit is perfect for two adults or a family with one or two young children.
The condo was clean and in great condition. The kitchenette has everything you need for your beach stay – mini-fridge, blender, microwave and toaster oven. The location can't be beat – right between Rosemary and Alys Beach, and you have access to the amazing Seacrest lagoon pool. The Village area has grown over the last couple of years so in the same building complex is a candy store, restaurant, yogurt bar and numerous shops. And don't forget the shops and restaurants next door at Rosemary and Alys Beach. Our favorite is the Alys Beach donut truck – just a short walk or bike ride away.
My family will definitely consider Reba's Retreat for our next beach vacation.

In Greek mythology, a monster of Crete with the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was the offspring of Pasiphaë, wife of King Minos, and a snow-white bull sent by Poseidon and intended for sacrifice. When Minos kept it instead, the god punished him by making his wife fall in love with the bull. The Minotaur (whose name means Minos bull) was imprisoned in the Labyrinth built by Daedalus. After defeating Athens in a war, Minos forced the Athenians to send human tribute to be devoured by the Minotaur. The third year the tribute was sent, Theseus volunteered to go, and with the help of Ariadne he killed the monster.

Solo Top LF competitive team for s3!
Hello all, i am CrG KhrizoniiC. Here in the past few weeks i've been trying to form my own team, hold tryouts, etc. but that didn't go as well as i wanted it to. So i've decided to personally try to find a place that i can fit in and make an immediate impact. A place where i can listen and follow, as well as take constructive criticism when needed. My knowledge of the game is vast, and i learn more every day. I watch Streams/Tourneys all the time. Every day, actually. I always strive to be better, and i always strive to better myself. That being said, here's some things about myself.
Real Name: Ryan Wilson Age: 18 Champion Pool: Vlad, Jayce, Olaf, Diana, Darius, Irelia, Malphite, Kayle, Riven, Shen, Singed, Teemo, Yorick, Akali, Gragas, Wukong, and Renekton. This pool is always expanding and i am willing to buy any champions that i need to. s2 Elo/s3 Elo and Experience: In s2, i hastily jumped into Solo queue, like a lot of people do, with a slightly limited knowledge. At first it was rough, but i didn't get too far into Elo hell. I stopped for an extended time to drastically improve and make myself better. I started watching streams, reading articles, and improving my champion pool/knowledge. At that point is where i found out that i wanted to keep improving, and keep learning to a point where in season 3 i want to find a team to go competitive. I played some more solo queue and my Elo got to about 1400. Teams may be hasty to give me a shot because that number is low. All i can ask for is a tryout to prove myself. That's all i ask. What i can bring to your team: I bring the attitude and willingness to win. I want to win. I know what it takes to win and i am always ready to learn. I want constrictive criticism from my potential teammates. I want everyone to be dedicated. I am ready and willing to practice MULTIPLE hours a night. Just drafts, customs, or just discussing strats/comps. Theorycrafting never hurt anyone, that's for sure. I am very easy to get along with, and rage isn't in my vocabulary. I don't rage, and i don't yell. I am very calm in pressure situations and i respond well to them. One thing you never have to worry about, is my attitude and anger level. I want to come into the team knowing i'm the recruit and i will listen to whatever i'm told. I won't be "that guy" that thinks he owns the team, on the contrary actually. In conclusion, i'm ready to make my move with a team with the common goal. Even if you think you're a suitable duo partner, then post here or add me. I'm not looking for a fresh group of players, i want good players. I want a team that has the knowledge i do. If you are looking for a Top and you are ready to move into the competitive world, then i'm your guy. I just need a tryout to prove it. I hope to hear from you soon :) - Khriz |
Bump. Can tryout right now.
Bump, will tryout NOW and all day tomorrow. I'm serious people. Champion pool has gotten bigger and i want to find a team ASAP. Only serious teams contact me.
Bump, trying out all day!
Also looking for a Duo queue partner, as of right now!
add me if ur interested, we have 4 people and all we need is a top now

Its bulbs were to small to be tulip and it only has 1 leaf :) i thought it was a tulip before i dug it up HELP |

Our tulips start this way too... But we also have them mixed with daffodils... either or? |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Fri, Feb 28, 14 at 18:07
How large were the bulbs you thought too small to be tulips? Definitely not daffodil foliage. |
- Posted by michael1846 6 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 28, 14 at 19:42
They were like if you bought the green onions in the bags (for leaves) and you went up an inch and threw away the top the part left would be the size about an inch and its a narrow bulb. |
I say tulip, too, ones that have run out; so the bulb may be real tiny. If they have been in the ground too many years with no care they will look just like this eventually with no additional leaves and no flowers either, and the bulbs just get smaller and smaller. Not worth saving as cheap as well cared for commercial tulip bulbs are. |
Tulip - they frequently produce single leaves when they are starting to deteriorate or have yet to bulk up, as OldDutch says. |
- Posted by Dzitmoidonc 6 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 1, 14 at 9:17
A tulip that only makes a leaf like that is called a "veuve" (widow) in French, because it has lost its mate (the flower). It can be rehabbed. When the leaf fades, dig it up and hold it in a completely dry place, like a garage or something. (Critters will chomp on it if they can.) Then in late fall, plant it back into the bed at the proper depth. Sometimes the new bulbs formed grow deeper than they should and eventually do not bloom, that may be what is happening. What many people don't realize is that a Tulip bulb only blooms once, then dry up. The next blooms will come from the new bulbs that grow alongside the blooming specimen. So your bulb just needs a good year with good conditions to restart the flowering cycle. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 1, 14 at 9:43
did you get this from Mi bulb.. ??? you have an immature tulip... no question about it ... offhand.. tulips that bloom.. are a couple years old ... yours is not ... if properly cared for.. it will bloom in a year or two ... not this year ... its growing the bulb this year ... ken ps: dzit ... says they only bloom once.. they do NOT say.. they bloom the first year ... |

Feather pillows without the feathers
By maznviv
from Hertfordshire
About Me Mid-range Shopper
Enough feathers used to fill half the pillow. You can put thumb one side and forefinger the other, squeeze and you can feel barely anything between. Complete waste of money. Two of these would make up one pillow.

Avoid if you want to sleep
By Gillian
from Perth
I bought these recently in store, so did not have these reviews to put me off. How on earth are these for sale? They say they are medium support on the packaging, no way they are, they are too soft for that... It also says they are good for back sleepers but the description here on the site says ideal for side sleepers. Which is it?!Also, and this is the biggest FAULT, they make a noise every time you move, even if you breathe! How am i supposed to sleep with a crinkly noise in my ear all the time? Guessing the designer never tried them out. What a complete waste of money!

They are really noisy, it is like trying to sleep on a bag of empty crisp packets and about as comfortable. Feather and down is far better.

Brubeck, Dave
Brubeck, Dave
biographical name(born Dec. 6, 1920, Concord, Calif., U.S.) U.S. jazz pianist and composer. Brubeck studied composition with Darius Milhaud before working as a jazz pianist. He formed a quartet with saxophonist Paul Desmond in 1951. His use of unconventional metres contributed to his immense appeal: the recording of Desmond's Take Five became the first jazz instrumental to sell more than a million copies. This exposure brought many new listeners to jazz, particularly on college campuses during the 1950s and '60s.

We had the wonderful opportunity of staying at the Perrgell Bed and Breakfast for our wedding. The hosts were very hospitable and helpful in providing us with information about sightseeing and trips. The food was excellent. We will definitely highly recommend Perrgell to our family and friends.

My spouse and I have stayed in Perrgell Bed&Breakfast from August 30 to September 03, 2012. What we have found there exceeded our best expectations. The area is beautiful with views of mountains and wine yards all around. The village of Killi is quiet, traditional with fresh air and scents of flowers and trees. The hosting couple was so kind and friendly and willingly served us with everything we desired. The tasty gourmet breakfasts, cooked freshly every day, were just awesome. The room was spacious and very, very clean. We were impressed by the knowledge of the host in Cyprus area which he have transferred to us by planning for us daily tours around the island. We would have stayed longer if only we could. We recommend the place to anybody who is looking for an enjoyable vacation in Cyprus

We have stayed with PERRGELL 4 days in the beginning of June. The place is something else: beautiful house in a calm village with wonderful views. Spacious and clean room and exceptional breakfast, different menu every day, really exiting! On top of all this - the hospitality of the couple who run the place makes you feel like you would like to stay there forever...

11 days at Perry's wonderful place was e treat. Perfect base to discover the Paphos, Akamas and Trodos sights, high enough to escape summer's heat. The room among the best I seen in terms of B&B. Traditional B&B, only one room offered, makes you feel part of the family, the breakfast varied and a good and healthy start of the day. Clean, personal and comfortabel.

Very nice and welcoming people, friendly and helpful with the touristic tours, a charming little room with a beautiful bathroom, all comfortable and very clean, and a huge delicios surprising breakfast everyday. The accomodation is situated in a small village in the mountains, you will be able to meet the real cypriot people and see their real everyday life. A very good accomodation for relaxing and enriching holidays!

We chose this B&B because it was in a perfect location to see all of West Cyprus. The room was very clean and our private bathroom was perfect. We were made to feel like family. Yafit is so friendly and showered us with all kinds of wonderful food. Her food is fresh and amazingly varied. The garden is beautiful and had our own private table on the balcony. Beautiful stone house. Wonderful people. We will be back for more. Thank you Uri and Yafit

Four-star Adonis Thomas picks Gators over Tide
The Florida Gators recruiting roller coaster reached another peak on Friday when four-star linebacker Adonis Thomas (Lawrenceville, GA) became the program's 10th verbal commitment of the 2015 cycle.
Thomas (6-foot-3, 219 pounds), a unanimous four-star prospect and the No. 63 overall player in the nation per ESPN, chose Florida over Alabama during a ceremony at Central Gwinnett High School. Notre Dame was a semi-finalist for his services.
The Gators first offered Thomas back on Nov. 23, 2013. He visited Florida's campus three times since, attending Junior Day on Feb. 1, stopping by unofficially on March 29 and spending three days in Gainesville, Florida, starting June 9.
Four-star linebacker Adonis Thomas made his commitment to Florida with a custom embroidered hat (@rivalsmike) pic.twitter.com/R1dq9We8Xn
— Woody Wommack (@RivalsWoody) August 1, 2014
Since losing four commitments in a 10-day span in July, the Gators have filled each slot, adding pledges from four-star offensive lineman George Brown, Jr. (Cincinnati, OH) on July 25, three-star wide receiver Kalif Jackson (Neptune Beach, FL) on July 29 and three-star OL Mike Horton (Atlanta, GA) on July 31.
Florida also gained a pledge from four-star Jerome Baker (Cleveland, OH) on July 11, giving the Gators a pair of big-time linebackers in their 2015 class.
The additions of Thomas and Baker are especially important for Florida, which did not sign a linebacker during the 2014 recruiting cycle.
Thomas's commitment was first reported by Woody Wommack of Rivals.com.

An ancient palace has been discovered near the tomb of emperor Qin Shi Huang by archaeologists in China, according to local media outlets.
It is the largest complex found so far in Qin's second-century mausoleum, which is home of the famous terracotta army and covers 22 square miles.
The palace is believed to be around a quarter of the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing, with it being estimated at 690 metres long and 250 metres wide,
Researcher Sun Weigang said the discovery includes 18 courtyard-style houses with a main building at the centre.
Sun explained the palace is a predecessor of the Forbidden City, which was later occupied during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Although the palace is more than 2,000 years old, archaeologists said the foundations have been well preserved.
They have found stony roads, walls, gates, brickwork and pottery shards.
Qin's tomb is guarded by 6,000 life-sized terracotta warriors, which were first discovered in 1974.
The terracotta army was declared a world heritage site by the United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organisation in 1987.

This is our first year of bee keeping and they died, probably due to harsh winter. We want to re-use the hive. How do I go about cleaning the hive and suppers?

Basically shake out dead bees as good as you can, clean bottom board, I wash with soapy water...on all hives in spring. Bees will clean up the rest,.. even take out dead bees stuck in their cells. |

Will I need to restock with a colony or will bees come back. noticed some activity. also some honey left in the shallow. should I leave that. what about the wax and the dark cells in the super. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Tue, Apr 12, 11 at 0:15
It looks like you have robbing going on when you see some bees go in and out, theyr'e stealing the honey. You need a inspection to see what's going on inside. If so, close off the hive and get a new package. What is the dark ....are these bees? Perhaps mold, to some degree they can clean it up, I would scrape off most first. |

this series is probably the most irritating thing on videogum, its like they're trying to out quirk each other, not funny.
The most annoying part is that we are all legally obligated to read it and comment on it every week. Oh well! Tough break. Life is the worst.

youre just too funny and whimsical. and seeing how ive only commented on one other chat, that proves your comment completely baseless, ive read a few and determined after this one, that this series is completely useless, and as much as it may get all of you bandwagon trolls off, its just childish and not worth reading, this is what i have concluded after reading, so i'm sharing my completely personal opinion with the community because thats what these sites are for.
