Collecting Seed for Seed Exchanges
A few of the various Plant Societies which I belong to have seed exchanges, and I made a pledge to myself to get my seed collecting done, cleaned, sorted and packaged into little envelopes to meet this year's deadline, which is usually Nov 1. Time always has a way of getting ahead of you, so I was relieved to learn on the Hardy Plant Society's webpage that they have extended the deadline this year to Nov 15, and I can fill out the donation forms online and mail the seed in later! The North American Rock Garden Society is not being so lenient; they want the list of seed being donated by Nov 1st, although they will allow a grace period until Dec 1st to package and send your seed in.
Yes, it does take time to process and save seed, but let me tell you why it is worth all the trouble. First, if you want to grow more of the plants, especially the annuals, which you enjoyed in your garden this year, why not collect the seed and save yourself a few dollars. Second, you may not be able to find a particular seed variety next year. I have found this true when it is an unusual variety that commercial growers do in limited numbers, or more likely their source dried up or had a crop failure. Third, you are bound to collect more seed that you can use, so why not share the bounty by participating in a seed exchange? Most seed exchanges work this way: You become a member of the group, such as the Hardy Plant Society, which collects and pools the seed, then makes the seed available to its membership at a very inexpensive price ($.50). A big plus: seed donors get first dibs at the selection, and get to select an extra 10 packets for their efforts. Groups like the Seed Savers Exchange allow you to purchase seed without becoming a member, but membership has its perks….lots of information, discounts and member's only offerings, plus you're supporting an important organization.
There's a lot to know about collecting seed, but it is beyond the scope of this blog post to get into a lot of detail. Besides, there is so much information now on the internet that you no doubt will find answers to particular seed questions in a web search. I just want to pass on some basic tips.
- Collect seed on a sunny dry day. Wet seed pods can harbor spores which may encourage mold ands spoil the seed.
- Label your seed correctly, especially if you plan to donate to a seed exchange.
- If you grow several varieties of certain plant and they are within close range of each other (for example: several different forms/colors of zinnias) your seed will not come true to type. You may get some interesting variations and colors, but you should label it as such. Also, seed from most F1 Hybrids will not come true.
- Watch seed pods daily for maturity. You want to capture them just before they explode all over your garden.
- Store the seed in paper bags in a dry spot until you have time to clean and sort.
- Separate the chaff from the seed when packaging.

Pumpkin Succulent Arrangements
I have a confession. I am obsessed with pumpkins and gourds, and can't drive by a farm stand without stopping and selecting a bushel full to add to my collection. To me, they are sculpture in an amazing array of forms, sizes, shapes and textures. Those of you who have followed this blog or have visited Avant Gardens know that one of my other obsessions is succulents. I wasn't the first arranger to think of combining these obsessions, but clearly gourds and succulents pair well.
Timing couldn't be better. With frost imminent, I have just dug dozens of succulents out of pots in the garden and will soon run out of space in the greenhouse. As an advocate of the "Slow Flower" movement, extolled in Debra Prinzing 's book by the same name, I'm always looking for ways to use plant materials in arrangements which are in season and on hand in my garden or windowsill. Thinking that you might want to create your own succulent arrangement, I'm passing on this quick tutorial.
Materials needed: a pumpkin or gourd, dry long fiber sphagnum moss, floral pins, spray adhesive and tacky glue, plus an assortment of succulents in an array of shapes and sizes in coordinating colors (that's not hard..most coordinate so well with each other.)
First, use the spray adhesive on the top of the pumpkin so that the sphagnum moss can cling to it, and loosely extend the moss over the crown. (Note: I didn't do it here, but would recommend removing the pumpkin stem). The moss acts as the "planting medium", and will later be sprayed with water to hold moisture. Next, using floral pins and if necessary, tacky glue, secure the trailing succulents onto the moss.
Next begin to add the larger succulent cuttings, like the rosette forming Graptoveria shown here. Apply a little bit of the tacky glue to the base of the stem and carefully arrange in the moss, using a floral pin to secure in place. Continue with the smaller succulents to fill in the bare spots. It will take awhile for the tacky glue to securely dry, so let the arrangement rest overnight, and check the next day to see if the cuttings seem well attached. If a few stems are loose reapply glue. Carefully transfer your pumpkin to a spot where all can admire it.
Your arrangement will look terrific for weeks. The succulents will hold up well for awhile without water, but you can mist the arrangement with water if they become a little shriveled. The sphagnum moss will hold just enough moisture to keep the arrangement fresh. Since you are not hollowing out the pumpkin, the fruit will not quickly decay (as hollowed out pumpkins tend to do). The little pin pricks from the floral pins do minimal damage. Keep the arrangement in a bright cool spot (too much warmth and darkness will encourage decay).
You may find 6 weeks from now that your gourd or pumpkin is beginning to go bad, but the succulent cuttings are still fine. Remove them from the arrangement and try to root them in a tray of sand and perlite. Keep them in a sunny window and you just may have a collection of plants for next year's garden.

Tips for Wintering Over Tender Plants
Very soon, a frosty night will be threatening. If you haven't already, now is time to think about which tender plants you want to preserve for next year. You may have limited space and if you have collected a lot of plants, you will want to prioritize your selections. Here are links on recent blog posts on wintering over tender plants.
Wintering Over I: Taking Cuttings
Wintering Over Tender Perennials Indoors
Rehabbing Succulent Planters
Those of us who live in colder climates may be thinking it's time to rehab last year's tender succulent containers. Over the winter, these planters have been trying to soak up as much sun as possible on windowsills and in sunrooms, but it's a sure thing that by mid spring many of the plants have become unbecomingly leggy. You have two options: disassemble the planter, plant by plant, then cut back and replant in fresh soil, or if the planter is not too overcrowded or out of proportion, you can see if just trimming back is the answer.
I'm encouraging you to be ruthless when you cut back. After cutting off their heads these plants won't look happy immediately, but the alternative could become down right ugly (and, any cuttings that are pinched back can be stuck in sand and rooted for more plants). You may find that some of the spreading succulents have exceeded their bounds and need to be lifted and divided…but you can use these pieces to tuck in around the container where their are "plant gaps". Fertilize your planter …we use a seaweed/fish emulsion. It will take a number of weeks and some warm sunny weather for your planters to start to perk up.
Vertical Succulent Gardens are often in need of cutting back and editing. We usually leave our vertical planters horizontal on benches during the winter, to minimize stretching. Still some plants such as the rosettes of Sempervivum or Echeveria may have become overwhelmed by creeping Sedum and Delosperma, and need to be replaced. We take fresh cuttings and secure them in place with floral pins. Fertilize with seaweed/fish emulsion , keeping the wall planter flat while the new cuttings root in, and move outside as soon as nights stay in the 50′s or above. In a few weeks, growth will begin to fill in the empty spaces, and then you can hang.

Hopeful Assessments
If you're like me, once the snow retreated you walked about your garden searching for hints of growth. For me the first signs came from the snowdrops and now the crocus are showing color, as well as the narcissus which are sending forth their green pencil shoots. We've cut back the old Epimedium and Helleborus hybridus foliage. Ah yes, there they are: the tightly curled flower buds just waiting for a bout of milder temperatures.
Our conifers are all looking okay, and right now the tropical looking Trochodendron we planted last summer is looking pretty darn good (fingers kept crossed). On the other hand the Bamboos, both the Fargesia rufa and Phyllostyachys aureasulcata, took a real beating. The browned foliage will be replenished with new growth, but the thing is that won't happen until mid May…. can we really stand looking at it for that long? We have no choice but to live with our brown Phyllostachys forest, but we may just have to cut the Fargesia to the ground and spare ourselves the view of winter's scourge. It means we'll sacrifice some height this year, but I'm sure we'll get at least 3' of it back this summer, and next year the Fargesia should reach 6' or more.
It's still too soon to tell with most perennials. Unless the evidence is an obviously mushy crown, it's really just a wait and see. We've had many a plant resurrect itself from deep roots in late spring, once the earth has sufficiently warmed. Good news is the Beesia deltophylla, covered with a blanket of fallen leaves for the winter is promising growth.
Here's what I recommend. Take pictures of the what your garden looks like now, and then document again in 6-8 weeks. Keep these images as a record of reference for the future, so when things look skeptical in early spring, you have hope.
Forcing Winter Branches
You wouldnt know it by looking out my window today, but this past Sunday afternoon it hit 50 degrees. I walked about the garden taking inventory, and just as I had hoped, buds were beginning to swell on spring flowering trees and shrubs. To my delight, the Hamamelis (witch hazel) blossoms were beginning to open. It was a perfect time to cut some branches for forcing indoors.
Forcing is not difficult, but it helps to understand a few basics. Many woody plants (trees and shrubs) set their flowering buds during the previous growing season. They must undergo a dormant period (about 6 weeks) of cold temperatures. A sustained warm moist spell following this dormant period will break dormancy. You need to mimic this warm moist spell to trick your cut branches into thinking it is spring.
1. Walk about your garden in search of subjects, observe, and prune
You can actually tackle some pruning as you search for stems for forcing. As you select branches, remember to consider the shape you want your tree or shrub to grow. Prune on a mild day, preferably in the afternoon. The day's warmth will aid the plant in taking up water and sugars from the roots. Branches force more easily if they are less than 1/2 inch in diameter.
One of the easiest plants to break dormancy is Forsythia. Other plants to consider are Willows (Salix), Witch hazel (Hamamelis), Winter hazel (Corylopsis), Quince (Chaenomeles), Viburnum, Dogwood (Cornus), Flowering Cherry (Prunus). I thought I would experiment a bit while I was taking inventory , so I also cut branches of Spirea, Magnolia and Birch (Betula).
2. Hydrate your stems
After you have gathered your array, fill a deep bucket or large pan with warm water, (for really big branches a bathtub works quite well). Submerge your cut branches in the warm water and leave them in a warm spot overnight. You can add a small amount of lemon-lime soda or even Listerine (approx. 1T per quart of water) which will act as a preservative. The next day, under very warm running water, make fresh cuts to your branches. If you have thick branches (1/2 or more), you can split and splay the stems an inch or so for better water absorption. Begin to arrange, or keep these stems in a cool space (45-50 degrees) for a week or so, until you are ready to arrange them.
3. Create your arrangement
In a fresh vase of water with a bit of preservative, create your arrangement. Some branches will burst open immediately, but others will need more coaxing. Remember your first attempts are about experimenting. Branches which have an interesting shape or color will look fabulous even if they do not force (I'm thinking about the curly willow I used). Every week or two venture outside and select more branches. Take notes on what stems forced well in early February, and which ones might require more time outdoors as winter weather transitions into early spring.
I will post an image of this container in about a week, and you can see how successful I was.
Winter Wreath Making Tips
Hinoki Cypress Wreath with Elkhorn Cedar. Love the little cones on the Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) and the undersides of Elkhorn Cedar (Thujopsis dolobrata) are fabulous!
Mixed Greens Wreath. Dwarf Blue Spruce (Picea glauca 'Montgomery'), Littleleaf Boxwood (Buxus sinica 'Justin Brouwer'), plus several cultivars of Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa cvs. 'Confucious', 'Crippsi', and 'Jade')
Mixed Greens Wreath with Golden Berried Blue Holly (Ilex meserve 'Golden Girl'), Littleleaf Boxwood (Buxus sinica 'Justin Brouwer'), Various Hinoki Cypress
Littleleaf Boxwood (Buxus sinica 'Justin Brouwer') with Blue Holly (Ilex meserve 'Blue Princess' ) plus wreath making supplies
After 25 years of planting unusual evergreens on our property, I feel like now our plants have enough growth to afford plenty of interesting options for creating winter wreaths. This year's crop provided me with lots of interesting material, and while I was taking cuttings I was also pruning at the same time.
I hate making the same composition twice, so each wreath has a character of its own. I've used various wreath making forms in the past, but this year I went back to using wire forms which I covered with moistened long fiber sphagnum moss secured with a 22 gauge florist wire.
Here are a few tips:
- You will need a lot of material for even a small form, especially if you want big fat full wreaths. The amount shown in the silver pan was just about enough to create a 16″ wreath.
- If your base is 12″ wide, expect the finish sized to be about 18″ (or more in diameter, depending how far out your branches extend).
- Broadleaf greens such as Boxwood, Holly and Rhododendron desiccate quickly, especially if they are placed in a warm space or in a sunny spot. Using a base that has moistened sphagnum and tucking in the branch tips of the little bunches helps keep them hydrated. Mist or soak your boxwood or holly wreath often. Also, applying an anti desiccant helps prevent the leaves from drying out.
- Holly berries are often tucked along the inner lower branches. Try to position the cuttings so you can see the berries, then trim back as necessary.
- Repetition of your assorted bundles helps you create a balanced circle.
- After you create your wreath, hang it and step back to see where it may need editing. You can always trim back or tuck in more cuttings.
- Weather resistant ribbons add a touch of color to simple wreaths made from one or 2 plants, such as boxwood or holly. I prefer not to use ribbon when I have a lot of interesting leaves and cones to admire.
Giving Thanks
As much as gardeners quickly express frustration about weather, insect pests, or deer browsing, we really are a thankful lot. We are thankful more often than we acknowledge : for sunshine, rain, snow cover, good bugs, birds, rich earth….Most importantly, I think we are grateful for the plants which grace our gardens.
After yesterday's much needed torrential rainfall (thankful!), this morning's view from my window is tranquil except for the activity at the bird feeders. I'm viewing a corner of our garden which is designed with plants that provide winter interest: Hinoki Cypress Chamaecyparis obtusa, Japanese Forest Grass Hakonechloa macro, Little Bluestem Schizachyrium scoparium 'Blue Heaven' , Hellebores Helleborus 'Golden Lotus', a beloved Japanese Maple Acer palmatum 'Katsura', a Wheel Tree Trochodendron aralioides (recently planted, fingers crossed…putting it through the hardiness test) plus the showiest plant right now, Winterberry, Ilex verticillata 'Berry Heavy' which like all of the hollies this year is heavy with fruit.
Soon the birds will pick off the winterberry fruit, and this picture will change as it will again and again throughout the year. I am reluctant to see blossoms fade and watch leaves fall, but then I realize I am truly grateful that this picture from my window is always changing. A new day, a new season awaits which will provide new gifts to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wintering Over Non Hardy Plants
We've been asked recently if we had ever written a post on wintering over tender plants in cold climates. The answer is yes, we have, but it certainly would be convenient if we posted easy access links to the 3 articles for those who may have missed the postings or for those who want a quick refresher.
Wintering Over Tender Perennials Indoors
Wintering Over Roots of Tender Perennials
Winter Prep for Succulent Pots
We plant up some pretty large non winter hardy succulent containers here at Avant Gardens, and we are always asked "Do you move that big pot inside for the winter?" Our answer: "No, we just take it apart and repot the plants which we especially want to save." Yes, space is always an issue, and we have greenhouses.
Most home gardeners do not have a greenhouse, but have a sunroom or a bright indoor space that is south or southwest facing. Non hardy succulents do not need a lot of heat, and will be fine in spaces that stay above 35-40F degrees. This could mean a space in a cool attic, basement or in a garage that stays above freezing. Because available space is often limited, you may want to select the choicest, slower growing specimens (such as a large Echeveria or Aeonium) and not save every small clump of sedum or string of pearls.
Here is a brief photo essay demonstrating the dismantling of a big planter. Be sure to have on hand an array of different sized containers and a sharp draining succulent potting mix to pot up your specimens.
Your planters are probably looking spectacular in September, before nights start dipping into the 30′s.
Last October we were surprised one morning when temperatures dipped below freezing the night before, and realized it was time to bring our plants indoors.
Transfer the lifted plants into a handy wheelbarrow or cart.
You don't want to use pots that are too big. Remember you probably do not have a lot of room, plus the pots (roots) will stay drier if there is not excess soil.
Do not fertilize during the winter, and water only as needed. The frequency will depend on how warm and sunny a space you have. Check for pests periodically. Mealybug has a way of suddenly appearing on plants indoors. A simple cure is using rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip or piece of cloth and rubbing off the offenders. Rotate the pots so that your plants do not lean in only one direction towards the light.
If at the end of the winter you have rather awkward, leggy plants, do not be afraid to cut them back sharply. The plants will respond with new tighter growth as longer days provide more sunlight. If you want more babies, let the cuttings heel and then stick on a slightly moist propagating tray of sand and perlite. Begin a light fertilizing program in March or April, as when plants and or cuttings show new growth. We recommend an all purpose seaweed/fish emulsion for succulents.

Seeking special status for Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called for bandh in the state on Sunday.
On eve of Bihar bandh called by JD(U), Nitish Kumar led in beating utensils to protest against the Centre denying special category status to the state on the lines of the one given to Seemandhra.
CPI, CPI(M) and Samajwadi Party have pledged support to the `Bihar bandh` on March 2, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said on Thursday, but refused to enter into any "give and take" with BJP.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday reiterated his call for a statewide bandh on March 2, terming as "betrayal" the UPA government`s decision to grant special category status to Seemandhra while "ignoring" a similar demand made by his government.
Protesting against the denial of special category status to Bihar as given to Seemandhra by Centre, people will beat utensils during the Bihar bandh on March two.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday urged people to go for civil disobedience to make March 2 `Bihar bandh` a success on the issue of denial of special category status to Bihar.
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar termed as `after thought` BJP`s decision to support his call `Bihar bandh` in return of support to `rail roko` agitation to protest against Centre`s discriminatory approach.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar termed as `after thought` the BJP`s decision to support his call `Bihar bandh` in return of his support to their `rail roko` agitation to protest against the Centre`s discriminatory approach.
With JD(U) and BJP launching separate agitations to protest the Centre`s denial of special category status to Bihar like Seemandhra, BJP on Saturday said if Chief Minister Nitish Kumar supported its `rail roko` stir on February 28, it would also join his March 2 statewide bandh.
Bihar`s opposition RJD has called a bandh in Saran district Wednesday to protest the death of 11 students, mostly girls, after they consumed mid-day meal at a government primary school.

Bihar bandh has been called by Bharat Swabhiman Samiti to protest against Ramdev`s eviction.

Dragon Ball Z Kai (ドラゴンボール改 「カイ」 Doragon Bōru Kai) |
Dragon Ball Z Kai (ドラゴンボール改 「カイ」 Doragon Bōru Kai) |
I love dragon ball z and Kai. I am surprised that they did a new song for the opening, I thought that they would keep the song and change the visuals like they do all the time.
The new opening is good though.
So Gohan is now sixteen and has started going to high school, after being home schooled for most of his younger years.
on his way to school, he decides that the best way to get to his new school is to sprint there, running faster than most cars can go. he would then happen upon the scene of some robbers having a shoot out with the cops. Gohan suddenly, gets the bright idea to stop then by going super saiyan and kicking the shit out of them. (Over kill lmao)
After he takes care of them and leaves, the daughter of the supposed world strongest man, a girl named Videl arrives and is told that a mysterious golden hair youth took care of the robbers.
Videl is also told that the youth had on the same high school uniform as she did (Gohan you idiot.
later on that day at school, gohan is introduced as the new student in Videl's class.
Videl's bestfriend a girl named Erasa, is the first to try to talk to him. Erasa introduces Gohan to Videl.
A few minor things happened that day, before Gohan went home and then to bulma's house.
We are introduced to Goten, Gohan's little brother, and Trunks, Bulma and Vegeta's kid.
Gohan tells Bulma about his predicament and she supplies him with a hero suit to hide his appearance while he fights crime in hercule city.
Overall this was a good start to a show I grew up with.
Loved the animation.
@takashichea: in no ways than one lmao.
Gohan teaches videl and Goten to fly, Chi-chi foreshadowing Gohan's and videl's marriage lmao.
Goku being only able to lift up to 10 tons is an inconsistency since he trained in 100x earths normal gravity.
It's a super saiyan bargain sale lmao, one of Vegeta's best lines.
Oh, that's great news. I was waiting for the English dub. I won't visit pirated sites to watch anime. Making that my rule ever since I promoted the discussion threads and making simulcast guides.
I couldn't stand the Japanese voices for Goku and the others. It's more of nostalgic, mother goose thing.
I forgot to bring headphones today in the library.
I finally got a chance to watch the trailer. It's pretty hyped up. Sean Schemmel went full out with his acting. I heard from so many DBZ fans that this movie suck. I should have lower my expectations, but oh well.

By Dora Levy Mossanen
(Touchstone, Paperback, 9780743246781, 304pp.)
Publication Date: June 28, 2005

Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Set amid the elegant châteaux of Belle époque France and the closely guarded world of nineteenth-century Persian women, Courtesan unfolds with the breathtaking cinematic sweep and stunning visual grandeur of an epic film. At its heart are three unforgettable women: Madame Gabrielle, the courtesan whose fateful liaison with the shah of Persia reverberates in the lives of her daughter, Françoise, and her rebellious and brave granddaughter, Simone, whose journey plunges her into the cutthroat diamond trade, where the secrets of an ancient culture may hold the truth she desperately seeks.
Dora Levy Mossanen was born in Israel and moved to Iran when she was nine. At the onset of the Islamic revolution, she and her family fled to the United States. The recipient of the San Diego State University Editor's Choice award and the author of Harem, a widely acclaimed novel translated into numerous languages, Dora Levy Mossanen lives in Beverly Hills, California. She can be reached at DoraLevyMossanen.com.
"A cross between Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Da Vinci Code, Dora Levy Mossanen's new novel invites us into a great courtesan's satin-lined bed and draws us into the carnal grip of turn-of-the-century Paris and Persia."
-- Alison Leslie Gold, author of Fiet's Vase and The Devil's Mistress
"...an exhilarating epic that roams from Persia to Paris to South Africa, carrying the reader along on a wave of intrigue, murder, and romance."
-- John Rechy, author of City of Night
"From the first page of Courtesan, I felt as if I had stepped into a mirage. The dream landscape Mossanen builds, one stunning image at a time, cements her place as a magic realist with a decidedly erotic twist."
-- M. J. Rose, author of The Halo Effect
"Dora Levy Mossanen masters the fine-tuned powers of language. She has the rare talent to transform the 'lust-vein' of our imagination into a panoply of lyrical imagery, at once visual and sensual. Her characters live out loud in the best tradition of a Zola-styled narrative."
-- James Ragan, poet and author of Lusions
"A sweeping romance with intrigues in both fin de siècle Paris and repressive Persia, Mossanen's engrossing second novel (after Harem) follows the sentimental education of a young seductress. Though Simone knows from a young age that she's too romantic to follow her courtesan mother, Françoise, into the family business, her grandmother, famed Parisian madam Gabrielle (née Ester Abramowicz), isn't so convinced. A really handsome man, she figures, can seduce Simone, and thus initiate her into the habits of wealthy courtesans. Gabrielle sets upon Cyrus, a handsome Persian jeweler, and Simone is intrigued by the man who supplies only the rarest diamonds to the shah's court ("Was the origin of red diamonds the blood of mistreated diggers, the blazing eyes of dragons guarding illicit mines, or the tears of children forced into hard labor?" she wonders). She succumbs to his charms -- but then they fall in love. Simone moves with her new husband to the rugged mountains of Persia to make a quiet life living as Jews in a Muslim country, but her happiness is short-lived. Abrupt shifts between times and locations confuse, but the engaging plot wins out. And while the sex scenes are a bit overcooked (Simone "directed the creamy gaze of her breasts" at a suitor), readers will find themselves gripped by spirited Simone's many adventures."

Reviewed Emeril's Homemade Sweet and Spicy Pickles
Aug 28, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"SUPER!! I have never made pickles before and I feel like I got a homerun on the first try! This will be my recipe to stick with. I used 24 jalapenos from my garden instead of the cayennes and removed seeds from about half so they wouldn't be too hot. I always get tired of cucumbers from the garden, now I will want to plant more than ever.""

This year, an estimated 23,380 adults (12,820 men and 10,560 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with primary cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord. It is estimated that 14,320 adults (8,090 men and 6,230 women) will die from this disease this year.
About 4,300 children and teens will be diagnosed with a brain or central nervous system tumor this year. More than half of these are in children younger than 15. This section deals with adult brain tumors; learn about brain tumors in children.
In addition to primary brain tumors, there are also secondary brain tumors or brain metastases. The most common cancers that spread to the brain are lung, breast, unknown primary, melanoma, kidney, nasopharynx and colon cancers. The rest of this section covers primary brain tumors only.
Statistics should be interpreted with caution. These estimates are based on data from thousands of people with a brain tumor in the United States each year, but the actual risk for a particular individual may differ. It is not possible to tell a person how long he or she will live with a brain tumor. Learn more about understanding statistics.

I've had the pleasure of watching them grow big and famous, theyre a dutch band and i've seen them live a couple times.
They're lead singer's voice comes out really well even when she's trying to top the volume of some hundreds of fans. ^^
Not to mention that she manages to catch people's attention with those arm/hand moves she always does.
they seemed pretty cool people and theyre starting to match up with the big Evanescence/Nightwish etc
Add Stand my ground to that single list btw, that one gets played often here,

"It was exciting to catch a guy that can dominate like that."
Bengie Molina
"Knowing a guy can dominate like that and knowing it's just the first start, it's very exciting. You're very intense out there because you want do so well for him."
"I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don't mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding."
Anais Nin
"No question there was one guy who could dominate this ballpark and hit balls out ? that was Barry. We miss him on the field, an MVP guy. We've been spoiled here."
Felipe Alou
"Their backcourt guys kind of dominate the ball, and their offense is run in such a way that, in the end, the right guy is going to take the shot. When they make 3s like they did against Boston College, they become pretty lethal."
Oliver Purnell
"It was an exciting season. In past years we had been dominating and blowing teams out. It was fun to show up to the rink and know you had to play your best every night."
Chris Spillane
"This is just a case where a good wrestler has had to go against a really dominant guy a lot of times during the season. We can't do anything about it other than to realize that while you might not have the best record, you do have plenty of experience against a quality opponent."
Alan Carter

In today's Washington Times, Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) calls on President Obama to stop the delays and approve the Keystone XL pipeline. Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman approved the Nebraska reroute last week, paving the way for the president's final approval. It has now been 1,594 days since TransCanada first applied for a Presidential Permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline, which will bring much-needed jobs and energy security to America.
TransCanada First Submitted Application to Construct Keystone XL to the U.S. Department of State on September 19, 2008
POLITICOJanuary 24, 2013White House urges patience on Keystone
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration will not be pushed into making a hasty decision on whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
President Obama rejected the Keystone XL oil pipeline this time last year, a result that Canada had every reason to be dismayed by, as did Americans whom the project would have employed. The issue is coming back, and the president has even less reason to nix the project than he did last time.
Energy and Commerce Report Reveals $4 Billion in Stimulus Grants Has Gone to Foreign-Based Companies
January 18, 2013 |
On Thursday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee released an in-depth analysis that revealed a significant portion of stimulus-funded renewable energy grants have gone to internationally based companies; specifically, one out every four dollars spent on the Section 1603 stimulus program has gone to foreign entities.
The war on jobs and affordable energy is real and continues to pick up steam with a swarm of new regulations coming out of President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency contributing to more mine closures and plant shutdowns across the country. Last week, we witnessed the latest round of victims in the war on coal, with Georgia Power Co. announcing its plans to shutter 15 fossil-fuel-fired electric units, impacting nearly 500 jobs in the state.

Jonathan Gray, the 43-year-old who runs Blackstone Group LP's real estate business, is the latest billionaire to emerge from the world's largest manager of private equity and property.
An 800-pound gorilla, the joke goes, can sleep wherever it wants. Blackstone Group LP, manager of the world's largest real estate fund, has no time to rest.
Blackstone Group LP expects to increase sales of its property holdings in the next year, with potential buyers including real estate investment trusts and sovereign wealth funds, said Jonathan Gray, the firm's global head of real estate.
Jonathan Gray, head of global real estate at Blackstone Group LP, will join the firm's board of directors after his business brought in $1 billion in profit in 2011.
Jonathan Gray, head of global real estate at Blackstone Group LP, gave $25 million to the University of Pennsylvania to start a center studying cancer treatment and prevention.
On a rainy night in November, Mark Futral, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, approached a white ranch house in Flowery Branch, a northeastern suburb of Atlanta, crowbar in hand.
Investors buying foreclosed U.S. homes might have less than two years to accumulate properties as competition and rising prices shrink the pool of cheap assets, according to Blackstone Group LP, the largest buyer.
"We really believe in a Vegas recovery."

I like to hang out on Twitter.
It's a nice place to get to know people more intimately in this huge blog world.
Lately, I've been reading a lot of tweets about ugly blogging. Mom bloggers bad-mouthing other Mom bloggers.
I'm hardly in the know, but I think it has something to do with intertwining product reviews, PR pitches and free trips in with family stories instead of posting those items on a separate review blog of sorts.
Or maybe it's about so-and-so having a bigger house and driving a nicer car. That's what the moms on the school porch talk about.
And then again, it could be about you-know-who at recess taking my best friend from me. That's what my 9 year old daughter complains about.
Frankly, I think it's the age-old girl problem.
It probably won't go away.
I've talked about being an extrovert on my blog and an introvert in real life. But sometimes in this blogworld, I feel disconnected. I feel like an island.
I'm usually the last to learn of such matters. I like to stay out of blog conflict. I don't know the details. I don't know the names. And I don't want to. It's not that I don't have an opinion either way. I do. I clearly welcome PR pitches (hello, Chick Fil A, we need to talk about unlimited sweet tea). I'm extremely selective and you won't see a lot of it here.
Because that's not why I blog.
(But if that is why you blog, then wear those shoes proudly).
It's important to me to maintain who I am. I can't pretend to write about something I don't care about.
And that's really the point I'm getting at, why do you blog?
Define that for yourself. I'm finding that even though I'm open to marketing that fits me, the amount of offers and enticements and distractions grow everyday. And that's why it's important for me to remember that if it's just me and my keyboard (like it was a year and a half ago), I do this for me. I want to be proud of what I contribute to the blogworld.
So whatever you decide to be, be your best. And give other bloggers (and neighbors with bigger things and girls on the playground) a chance to be themselves. We are all unique. Every blog is different.
But please remember that every word you publish is making an impact. The good and the bad.
And the ugly.
