I purchased a lovely hanging scaevola or fan flower with both lavender and white flowers a month ago. It did very well for a month. I watered it at least 1x a day and misted the leaves when it seemed droopy. All of a sudden it died. And I do mean suddenly. I took it down from the hook and set it out in my yard with the intention of composting it. Today I was going to remove it from the hanging planter but I did see that some of the stems were still green among the mostly brown stems. So I gave it a severe haircut, watered it and set it in the shade to see if it will recover. Can anyone advise me why this charming plant suddenly died? And is there any chance I can revive it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Scaevola is a very heat and drought tolerant plant that is native to Australia. I think maybe you have been too generous with the watering and root/stem rot has occurred. Let it dry out a bit and maybe it will recover. Only water when it's dry; stick your finger down into the pot to check the moisture. Good luck. |

Thank you, Debbie. My neighbor who works at a nursery told me to water it 2x a day so I stepped up my watering schedule. Maybe too much watering is what did it in. I still didn't discard it because I still see green stems but I don't know whether it will come back... |
I have Fan Flower growing in a pot and several in the ground. I made the soil in the pots and it is mostly pine bark fines. This allows for more oxygen to get to the roots, and it also requires more watering. I water my pots daily and especially with temps in mid 90's. I also have mixed in pine bark fines and composted cow manure in the ones planted in the ground, and they get watered every other day. They are due for a trim, as you can see. |

Opossum, never trust a suggestion to water according to a schedule. Watering needs to be done according to how much moisture is in the potting mix, and that's detected by poking and prodding with your fingers. |
Pots made with Tapla's potting soil recipe are mostly pine bark fines, and when the temps are in the high 90's the pots need watering daily. |
Regardless what the potting mix, what the plant, or what the weather, I would still trust my finger to tell me what's going on under the surface. It's very likely that a well draining medium would need watering daily, and my finger will confirm that. Martha |

Re:Similar to some existing systems (84 comments)
They might want to talk to TomTom as well. A couple of years back they started putting accelerometers in their high end GPS's for this reason. I haven't been in the market for a while so they might all have them now.
Re:It's easy! (712 comments)
Well if "stuff" was created properly it either shouldn't break, except for drivers. Software shouldn't break if it's written properly instead of using undocumented procedures?!
Re:Is this the point in time.. (712 comments)
Yeah cause that's working so well for Apple. Oh hang on...
I'd most want to hear a wider range of sound... (456 comments)
Then I might be able to hear the same as every one else
Nothing new here. (192 comments)
Nothing new here, I have been fiddling with this for years. Go to your printers web page, cut some text and paste it into Google and have fun.
Re:A couple things that kept me from upgrading... (791 comments)
1. The default UI was Metro.
2. They took my start button away.
3. Multi Monitor support was changed (Task bar now goes across all monitors).
While not major, it's still very annoying.
I know you can get utilities/hacks, etc... to fix this, but I shouldn't have to. At the minimum, they should have given options to turn them back on, even if they were off by default. So now they are trying to force their way of doing things on me.
Maybe they'll do better with Windows 9...but for now Windows 7 for me.
1. Windows now boots to the "start menu"? It's a click or key press back to your precious desktop.
2. It's still there, just not wasting as much screen space any more.
3. It's one click to change this (my second monitor has no task bar).
Windows 8 has some nice improvements over Win7, granted some people can't deal with the new way of using it. I guess you don't remember Windows 95 coming out as that made a much bigger jump than the 7-8 changes. At least 99% of Windows 7 software runs on 8 with no problems, getting DOS programs to work on 95 was a PITA most of the time.
Re:When you do things that are bad (471 comments)
That was then. This is now. Apple is already in decline. People are annoyed at the things Apple will not allow. The iPhone 5 is not quite the wait-in-line-for-weeks thing that its predecessors were.
Yes, this. When I purchased my iPhone 4 it was brilliant, and at the time Android really did suck balls. But the iPhone 4s/5 isn't that different really than the 4 so why upgrade? I did upgrade in the end to a Galaxy S3 and it stands out now like the iP4 when it came out.
Apple haven't just dropped the ball, they have lost it down a drain as well.
Re:Awesome! (349 comments)
Ask yourself, really - just how much do you use those pieces of software (and are 5 members of your household actually going to need Word, Excel, etc. specifically)? What would happen if you stopped paying one year because you run into financial trouble (usually = lose your rights to cheap upgrades or even the subscription itself)? Also, in a year's time, are those 5 licensed PC's going to be still running and/or can you move those licenses to 5 OTHER PC's when they stop working?
For a lot of the home users that come to me (even from private school pupil's parents, etc.), a lot of the friends and relatives that ask, etc. then even a one-off $99 wouldn't be worth it.
We use it heaps! I am a full time CS Student, my Wife is a part time student and the kids use it occasionally. I have given Libre Office/Open Office the benefit of the doubt and tried it for a month or so last year, it just didn't work for us. The beauty of the $100pa licence is its almost per user not per PC, so you can move it to new PCs when you get them. At the moment to get this privilege you have to pay extortionate retail licence fees.
Awesome! (349 comments)
That's brilliant value for my house. To quote Ars "For $99.99/year, there's Office 365 Home Premium, giving Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access, plus an extra 20 GB of SkyDrive storage (in addition to the 7 GB that you get for free), plus 60 minutes of Skype calls per month. This is licensed on a per-household basis, and one account can be shared by up to 5 users across any mixture of five PCs and Macs." 5 licenses of OEM Office Pro (a subset of the above) @ $290 each that die with the PC or $100pa for 5 users with upgrades to hardware and Office. It's a no brainer!
Re:I had this issue (415 comments)
Ebook readers aren't great for PDFs, but they are leagues ahead of tablets for reading textbooks. I'd leave it another couple of years until ebooks really get all the wrinkles ironed out, then get an ebook reader. I have a nook and I can store tens of thousands of quality books in there at less than the weight of a paperback.
Yup. I had a tablet that I tried reading on, but it's a nightmare. It's a 10" so it's too big, too bright at night and too heavy (mainly when I fall asleep and drop it on the Wife's noggin!). I love it for PDF's and comics though.
On the other hand my Kindle (non touch) is awesome for books. Whisper sync is great as well for when I wake up in middle of the night, I just continue reading on my iPhone.
Re:It's Not A Bet... (362 comments)
On the other hand, the advances they've made to the core of the OS are very nice. Once you get to the desktop, as long as you create shortcuts for the stuff you use a lot, it is fine. But that new UI is definitely not for large screens.
And that is why MS took this path with the start menu. Their "telemetry" has show that most people pin their most used programs, and rarely use the start menu. I know we all do in this house. That's also why DVD playback/MCE is now an addon, MS where paying for codec licenses that were not getting used. I have been using Win8 all this year on my laptop, which get's connected to a 23" when I am at my desk and love it. Granted some of the ModernUI apps look a bit silly on the 23" but most of them are quite OK on the 15" laptop screen with the touchpad/mouse.
My kids (6-12yo) currently have the RP on their computers and love it. They have had no dramas finding anything and have had a great time customising everything. The whole idea of the app store is great, my 6yo can download free (and for the moment, malware vetted) apps and I don't have to worry as much what they are doing to his computer. Yes I do keep an eye what he is downloading
Re:Wrap rage...? (639 comments)
It's brilliant. I was surprised to see that nearly all the packaging from my Kindle went in the recycle bin. All tech companies need to take note of this.
Re:Still? (145 comments)
He said torrent not iTunes.
And the difference is? The phone is still acquiring new content in the background while playing existing content in the foreground. It's just using different apps/methods. I would hate to think what torrents would do to your battery with the amount of CPU/networking effort required vs iTunes which is simple HTTP.
Re:Crappy AMD drivers?! (261 comments)
Makes me wish I didn't listen to my supposedly (degree in comp. sci., working as a coder for some corporation, never really cared about the details) vastly more computer literate (and I'm no slouch, but I'm more of a hobbyist and less concerned with keeping up with the tech) coworker when I built my last system and instead stuck with nVidia. Hell, my current system (Phenom II hex core, 8 gigs of ram and an AMD 6870HD) gets worse performance in Linux running WoW than my old single core athalon64 3200 with a Geforce 8800.
To counter that, my Lappy with built in a 6770m runs Minecraft better under Linux than Windows. Go figure
Re:And now RIM (188 comments)
Just like Nokia and Palm. "we have a great product people are buying so let's keep doing the same thing". And alone came Apple with the iPod touch/iPhone and Android. They took to long to realise that they had been overtaken and needed to actually innovate for the first time in 10 years.
Re:Natural progressions (314 comments)
E-mail will replace regular mail. It's been a slow process, but the Post Office (in the US and Britain; I can't speak for other countries) is starting to cut back; The majority of what is being sent out are physical goods and junk mail (advertising). Many people here have switched to online bill pay, and most banks offer automatic payment if the company (rarely) doesn't do bill to credit card.
I can say Australia Post is becoming more of a courier company than postal service. They are now pushing an "Digital mail box" service to "Receive - Your own digital mailbox to securely receive important mail. Pay - Easy payment of your bills. Store - Private and secure storage for your important documents"
I don't think anyone has told them this is called email/electronic banking and has been around for years!
If you want a Blackberry (220 comments)
best pick it up before Christmas, I don't see them being around much after that. I would say the same for Nokia but I think the release of the Desktop Windows 8 will save their bacon, but they will be a owned by MS in the next few years I think.
Re:Ripped-off? Just rip it! (587 comments)
This is one of the reasons we rip every DVD to our media server as soon as we buy it. No unskippable bits, no insults from FBI warnings or other time wasting, just the movie or set of episodes or videos that we paid for. There are a couple of drawers full of disks that are no longer needed for viewing (kept as backup and as proof of purchase). Another reason for ripping stuff to the server is simple convenience: not having to dig around for the right disk and stuff it in a mechanical device to play, hoping it has not gotten scratched through handling.
What you said! All my discs have been in the player on average of once, to be ripped, then shelved in the cupboard.

text: Hi everyone. I'm new to this site, but I guess I've been kind of a "lurker" for a while, mainly in the Weight Loss Surgery forum. I've been battling with the decision to have WLS for quite sometime now, and I've finally made the decision that this will be the best option for me. I'm going tomorrow to talk to my doctor about it, and I was wondering if anyone had any advise about talking to your doctor about WLS?

The information in this article applies to:
I want to be able to adjust how my cabinets display in both the Materials List and in the Cabinet Schedule. How can I do that?
Many architectural objects in the program, from walls to cabinets to images, have components and accessories associated with them that are calculated in the Materials List.
In addition to editing and adding information for objects and their accessories in the Materials and Master Lists, you can edit and add information directly to these objects in the Components dialog.
You can also define the components for a variety of items saved in unlocked libraries of the Library Browser. When a library item is placed into a plan, its component information goes along with it.
In the Library Browser tree view, right click to highlight and select an unlocked symbol in the Library Browser and choose the Components option to open the Components dialog.
Accessory quantities can only be edited when one object is selected. If multiple objects are group selected, accessory quantities are locked.
Cabinet Schedules
Schedules and the object labels associated with them can be edited in the Schedule Specification dialog.
If a shape is selected, and Show Labels is checked, cabinets show the shaped label with schedule number and nothing else. All other label options, except for Character Height and Initial Offset, will have no effect. If no shape is selected and Show Labels is also selected, window or door are labeled according to the format defined on this tab and the Label tab for the specific object.
Schedule to Text and Renumber ScheduleSchedule to TextClick the Schedule to Text edit button to convert the selected schedule to a tabbed text object. You can then edit the schedule as text. When a schedule is converted to text, it no longer updates automatically. In addition, shaped labels displaying as specified in the schedule's specification dialog will no longer be present. You can copy the text from the Text Specification dialog and paste it into other applications.
Renumber Schedule Schedule numbering is dependent on the order in which objects are placed in the plan, as well as the floor they are on.
When an object is edited, its schedule number may or may not change:
If an object with a Quantity of 1 in the schedule is edited, its position in the schedule will not change. If a group of objects listed on the same row in a schedule are edited simultaneously, their position will not change. If an object listed on the same row in a schedule with other similar objects is edited so that it is no longer similar enough to share the same row, it will move to the bottom of the schedule. To reorganize the items in a schedule so that their order is based solely on their Label information, select the schedule and click the Renumber Schedule edit button.

Has anyone got experience of ultras? I was thinking that if you've done 50 miles in one go (or so) then marathon running and concentration should greatly improve. Or is it just a different game?
Like that! Break it down into smaller manageable chunks
Hi there,
I thought sharing ideas on the most difficult part of the marathon could be good for everybody.
Here's mine: at mile 20 I go for 23 breaking it down mile by mile. My rationale is that if I get to 23 the finish line is too close to give up and then I try to keep up the pace for one more mile, one more and one more.
What's your strategy?
I think everybody has the right to reward themselves after running 26.2 miles!
And on the serious side, it seems like a week off entirely is what many experts recommend. The argument goes: ok, you're a runner and chances are you're a compulsive one like most people who practise this sport. So, take at least a couple of days off and then start cross training or going for short easy runs if you really have to. But for the first week, you're actually better off just resting and maybe walking a little bit.
After my VLM my mom came over from Italy for a few days. She's an amazing cook and she has bloody well put me right No running for the first few days also helped though. Always gone back too soon before.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has finalized new fees to take effect in March 2013. The PTO believes these fees will aid in reducing pendency of patent applications within the agency.
The PTO is relying on the additional revenue to increase resources that will reduce currently pending application levels and allow the agency to keep pace with new filings. Over the next three years, the PTO expects to reduce the pending backlog from approximately 600,000 to approximately 335,000. The PTO has a high expectation of reducing the time from filing to issuance from about 32 months down to 20 months by fiscal year 2017.

Hi. I have gottten several cuttings of roses that did well in this environments with no blackspot, disease, spraying, etc. I have dipped them in rooting hormone, placed them in potting soil/perlite in cups with drainage holes, and put the whole thing in a huge rubbermaid storage container. There is a small amount of water in the bottom of the container. I keep the lid closed all day, indoors next to a window. Lots of leaves are dropping off, one container has some mildew so I removed it, and a few cuttings have black stems. Should I not leave the lid on so much? Should I remove those cuttings with black stems? Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Perhaps too humid, but perhaps too hot if the window gets sun. Generally, cuttings like bright light but not direct sun. The soil/perlite might also be holding too much water. Perlite by itself would be better, or with a smattering of soil if you think the cuttings might like a little to feed on once they root. From your description, it sounds like your cuttings are goners, but try again. Steve. |

Don't know where in AL you are, but I would guess you are relatively close to birmingham. Try looking for a hydroponics store in the area, and try cuttings using coconut coir. The best by far for rooting cuttings. There seems to be quite a few in north Al. I'll be glad to help you locate if you let me know where in the state you are located. |
- Posted by fgilles02420 z6 MA (My Page) on Sun, Jul 9, 06 at 17:27
I second the recommendation for using coir. My success before this year was, frankly, pathetic for rooting roses. Now I'm using coir as the medium - and for dampening the coir and watering in the cuttings I use very dilute hydrogen peroxide (1 cup water plus 1T hydrogen peroxide) along with Hormex 8 rooting powder. For me, its led to astonishing success. By the way the easiest place to find coir may be Petco, or another large pet store. It's sold as reptile bedding in compressed bricks. |
I think it's the heat. Generally the rule of thumb is that if the climate is warm, you will need to root in the open under shade or use a misting system. if it's cold or very cool, you get more sucess rooting in closed environment. I have a comprehensice guide for rose rooting in the following link. |

BATS IPO Canceled in Share Crash
Trading issues on its filing and other irregularities, like an Apple fall, were first notified by BATS at 10:48:41 eastern time. "Please be advised that BATS is currently investigating system issues trading in symbols range A through BF. Will advise," the alert said.
In early Friday, trading Apple shares were briefly halted because of the BATS snafu, but closed at $596.05, a fall of less than 1% on the day. A trade of 100 shares on BATS exchanges caused Apple's stock to fall nearly 10% to $542.80. Those trades were canceled, BATS said in a statement that called the trades "erroneous."
"As a result of this systems issue, three erroneous trades occurred on the BATS BYX Exchange in Apple Inc. (APPL), one of which caused a volatility halt in that stock," the company said in a statement. "The erroneous trades were broken under BATS' clearly erroneous trade policy." To be seen is if BATS will attempt a re-listing on stock markets and whether it would try to do so on its exchange. "It's unfortunate that on the day you want to shine the brightest, you fall flat on your face," said Mike Shea, a managing partner at Direct Access Partners prior to the company's IPO withdrawal. "This is not some game changing event." "Making Markets Better," as BATS' slogan goes, or making markets better? BATS daylong saga may revive a larger debate into the risks of high-speed trading as regulators piece together the company's disastrous Friday. BATS operates two stock exchanges in the U.S., the BZX Exchange and the BYX Exchange, which currently account for about 11% to 12% of all U.S. equity trading, according to the company's Web site. The site showed that at 10:45:26 a.m. New York time, 10 orders of BATS shares were traded at a price of $15.25. "The IPO auction execution for symbol BATS has been printed on Tape B at a price of $15.25 with a size of 1,199,652. The symbol BATS will be halted until further notice," Bats said in a 11:53 a.m. ET alert. After alerting traders that its own shares would resume trading at 1:20 p.m ET, Bats said that shares would continue to be delayed. "We will advise on further updates," said Bats in a 1:03 p.m ET alert. Near the close of trading, the company pulled its IPO entirely, but said that all trading issues had been resolved. Overall, BATS is the third leading U.S. stock exchange by volume, surpassed only by the New York Stock Exchange (NYX) and the Nasdaq (NDAQ). The company -- who's name stands for "Better Alternative Trading System" -- was founded in 2005 to take on the dominance of those exchanges and an overall consolidation in the industry. As a competitor that caters to high frequency traders, BATS earned nearly $1 billion in 2011 revenue and turned a profit of $23.6 million, according to its year-end financial statements. In November, the company completed an acquisition of London-based electronic exchange Chi-X for $330 million. Both companies earn revenue by executing trades on their exchanges and providing market data. Two years ago, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 700 points on what's been called the May 6 "Flash Crash." During that episode, traders said bursts of giant stock orders flooded high-speed equity trading markets, a new type of computerized stock trading that have become a bigger part of overall market volumes. Nearly $1 trillion in U.S. stock market value was shed over the 20 minute crash, which prompted the shares of some companies like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Accenture (ACN) to fall as low as a penny and others to rise to $100,000. After the crash a Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission investigation found that a large, but valid algorithmic trade of $4.1 billion sale in futures contracts tied to the S&P 500 had precipitated the market malfunction. In response, the regulators launched circuit breakers for single stock and index product trading. Those circuit breakers were triggered in the halting of Apple's shares on Friday and in various other "mini flash crashes." The Wall Street Journal reports that the SEC also has opened an investigation into whether the market drop was precipitated by traders' use of cancelled trades called "quote stuffing," in addition to other practices. That inquiry may extend to Friday trading glitches at BATS, the Journal reported. In February, BATS disclosed that it had received a written request from the SEC's enforcement division "related to the development, modification and use of order types, and our communications with certain market participants," the company said in a filing. The exchange's largest investors are private trading firm Getco and investment banks like Citigroup (C - Get Report), Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report), Credit Suisse (CS) and Bank of America (BAC - Get Report). Those banks, in addition to Deutsche Bank (DB), Sandler O'Neill, Wedbush Securities, Raymond James, Rosenblatt Securities and Nomura were to be lead and co-managers of BATS' initial public offering; however, BATS said the underwriting agreement was canceled on Friday. The Lehman Brothers estate and electronic exchange Getco were expected to be among the biggest sellers of BATS shares in the offering, according to the company's IPO filing. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New YorkCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 with IMAX
1998 Broadway,
New York,
36 people favorited this theater
Showing 76 - 100 of 283 comments
What movie has stayed the longest at this theater? I say titanic.
$21.50 plus a $2.00 fandango fee if you can't get to the theatre.
how much are reserved seats for a 3-D IMAX film
at Lincoln Square?
15/70mm is also referred to as imax 70mm tall and 15 sprocket holes long traditional 70mm widescreen is only 5 sprocket holes creating a 2.2 aspect ratio
Reserved my seats today for Saturday. Got mu usual favorite seats. Love reserved seats. Wish more theaters in NYC offered the service. Looking forward to enjoying 15/70mm. It will be a sad day when this screen goes digital.
Are they still handing out invites outside this theater for test screenings???
Have not seen them lately
Thanks Much
I like it too….amc should do that for all of its thetaers.
I absolutely LOVE the reserved seating policy. Anyone complaining about it is a fool. Plan ahead, make good choices. Wouldn't you rather make a decision ahead of time on your seat selection rather than wait 6+ hours for a blockbuster opening?
I like real imax better than digital. ..the aspect ratio is taller.
sorry for repost—-it appears it will
Does anyone know if Pacific Rim Imax will run here or will it stay "Kryptonian"?
i wonder if anyone especially the theater's management has realized that the info on the plaques next to the auditoriums entrances aren't always? for instance the plaque for the Loew's Capitol says it was torn down at the end of 1967. so i wonder how i saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" in its original Cinerama roadshow engagement at the Capitol the last week of April 1968? i am highly surprised even shocked to a certain degree that the plaques weren't fact checked before they were put up.
Normally I visit this venue for the IMAX experience. But sometimes a particular movie will get me here, as it doesn't open in my region for quite some time.
This past Saturday 6/8/13 saw me visit and have a screening in the downstairs "Canal" while oddly configured, was a comfortable, big screen and well presented.
One of the things I get a kick of here is actually the commercials. Between the real estate agent, camps and I was surprised to see a spot for "Book of Mormon"
Enjoyable overall experience at this spot.
Saturday afternoon went to see 'Star Trek Into Darkness' on the IMAX screen. It was a wonderful experience. Loved the reserved seats. I purchased my tickets a few days in advance and was able to get my favorite seats in the theater. I prefer sitting in row M which is the back row where my line of site is about half way up the screen. I have to say 70mmIMAX is way ahead of the current D-IMAX. I am glad that AMC seems to be keeping this a 70mm film theater. I did notice that AMC is selling all the tickets for a 3D presentation where Loews used to hold back the 4 seats on the left and right sides of the theater. If you notice those seats are a different color.
I love this theater. But in seeing "OBLIVION" this morning, I had to experience the "RESERVED SEATING" policy for the first time. This is a disastrous policy in my book.
It not only wastes time at the ticket booth, but it doesn't take into account that many patrons may have "sight line" issues when it comes to seating. Especially if the film is in 3D. And it takes away choice in regards to where people (especially those who come in early) prefer to comfortably sit.
This isn't a Broadway musical or concert we're talking about.
I shot off an email and a FACEBOOK rant to AMC and the theater regarding this absolutely stupid policy.
Otherwise, "OBLIVION" was stunning to see in IMAX. But with all the other big summer releases making their way, unless you pre-plan and know EXACTLY where you want to sit, good luck enjoying this theater's new IMAX seating policy.
I've posted the Loews auditorium original screen size in the Intro above.
Thank you. It was a very impressive display. Another reason this theatre gets the respect it does.
oh I found the link with the photo I referenced.
No, it's film. That's why the run's been so long. I recall a photo taken of the 99 boxes of IMAX film needed to run it.
I finally saw Hobbit here on its last night. About a 10 week run…..pretty rare in these times.Maybe 20 people. I'm pretty sure it was digital—-not an ounce of dirt anywhere.You have to be a giraffe to see what the projector is.

Growing orange trees from seed is surprisingly straight forward, and something that anyone can do if they have a warm, sunny windowsill. Getting the seed is probably the hardest part of the whole operation. You can either buy on-line through a specialist supplier or, if you only want a few, collect your own from shop bought fruit.
Once you have cut open the fruit and exposed the seed, remove the seed and wash off any fruit residue. You should always clean seed collected from within fruiting bodies as they will normally contain chemicals which actively prevent seed germination.
Place the 'clean' seed into a glass of water and discard any that immediately float to the surface as these will not be viable. Smaller seeds may rise to the surface as air bubbles form on the surface of the seed coat.
If you have a variety of seed sizes you may also wish to discard any that look undersized as these are unlikely to have a large enough store of energy required for successful germination. Once you have selected your seed it can be dried off and stored in an envelope until required.
Orange seed – like all citrus – have a natural dormancy period and so will require a period of cold temperature in order to initiate germination. They will germinate without this cold period but results will be poorer.
Luckily, most citrus fruits are transported using a cool-chain system so they have already been 'pre-chilled' before they reach you. If not, this can be overcome by placing the seed into the vegetable compartment of any household fridge and left for a few weeks. First, secure the seed into a paper towel by folding the towel it back on itself a couple of times, then place into a plastic bag or sterile food container before leaving it in the fridge.
After approximately three weeks - although they can be left in there for a month or so should they need to be – they can be removed from the fridge ready for potting on. Soak the seeds for a couple of hours or so before planting them into 2-3 inch pots. Only sow one seed per pot using a good quality, free draining soil based compost such as John Innes seed or No 1, then water in..
If you can, place the pots into a heated propagator at a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, otherwise transfer them to a warm, bright position such as a kitchen windowsill. Water periodically so that the compost doesn't dry out, but make sure that the compost is never left waterlogged either.
Germination should occur any time from 4 – 6 weeks, but don't worry if it takes a little longer as orange seeds have been known to take several months before they show.
The newly emerged seedlings can be left in their pots for a further 3 – 6 months depending on how they develop but once they get to about 4 or 5 inches they can be potted on to the next size pot using a John Innes ericaceous mix or No 2 potting compost. So long as there are no frosts predicted the young orange plants can be put outside to harden off over the next two to three weeks.
During the growing period they can be regularly watered and feed with a water soluble fertilizer once a week. You can often get yellowing of the leaves with orange plants due to chlorosis but this can be dealt with by feeding an acidic plant food.
Tip out the seedling depending on whether you are growing your orange plant as a bush, wall shrub or standard, or you can leave it alone - allowing it to take on its natural shape.
Unfortunately oranges are not particularly cold hardy although they will tolerate temperatures as low as 4 or 5 degrees Celsius for short periods without to much trouble.
For northern European countries it is best to keep all oranges under protection during the winter periods, but once the threat of frosts are over they can then be hardened off for a couple of weeks before spending the rest of the growing season outside in the full sun.

The latest from Paramount:
The actual numbers are in and not only did MADAGASCAR 3 beat Sunday's weekend estimate by grossing $76.4M internationally in 28 territories this past weekend, but it also set a number of records within the individual territories.
• In Argentina, MADAGASCAR 3 posted the best opening ever for any movie, live-action or animated, outgrossing the Avengers by 10%, Harry Potter 7 by 16% and Pirates 4 by 47%. Compared with other animated titles, the opening was 38% better than Shrek 4 and 72% better than Toy Story 3. What makes the Madagascar 3 opening all the more impressive is that the film did not open either on a holiday weekend or during school vacation.
• The Brazilian opening of MADAGASCAR 3 was the territory's biggest opening ever for an animated title ahead of Rio, Ice Age 3 and Shrek 4, and also represents DWA and Paramount's biggest opening ever. MADAGASCAR 3 represents the territory's 4th biggest opening ever behind Avengers, Twilight 3 - Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.
• In Chile, MADAGASCAR 3's opening was the third best opening for an animated title in a non-vacation period.
• In Venezuela, the opening of MADAGASCAR 3 was the best opening ever for an animated title and the third best opening for any film, live-action or animated.
• The opening in Trinidad of MADAGASCAR 3 represented the best DWA and Dreamworks opening of all time, as well as the best all-time opening of any animated title.
• In China, the MADAGASCAR 3 opening is the #2 opening weekend of all time for a foreign animated film, behind Kung Fu Panda 2 (RMB 105M for the Sat-Sun 2-day weekend).
• Singapore's MADAGASCAR 3 opening represented both the #3 all-time best opening for an animated title (behind Kung Fu Panda 2 and Kung Fu Panda).
• In India, the MADAGASCAR 3 opening was DWA's second-best of all-time (behind Kung Fu Panda 2) and the third highest grossing opening weekend for an animated title of all time.
• The opening of MADAGASCAR 3 in Colombia was the best opening weekend this year for an animated title and the second-best opening this year for any film (behind Avengers).
• Malaysia's opening of MADAGASCAR 3 represented the second best opening for an animated title of all time (behind Kung Fu Panda 2).
International grosses from June 8-10, 2012:
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted: $75.5 million from 28 markets. International cume = $75.5 million. Worldwide cume = $135.9 million. Top Three Markets: Russia ($16.5 million); Brazil ($11 million); China ($10.5 million).

Snow White and the Huntsman: $24.6 million from 52 territories. International cume = $83.5 million. Worldwide cume = $182 million.
Marvel's The Avengers: $7.8 million from 54 territories representing 95% of the market. International cume = $824.4 million. Worldwide cume = $1,396,300,000.
Los Angeles, CA -- Tickets are now on sale for the IMAX release of The Dark Knight Rises, the third film of the critically acclaimed trilogy that introduces Gotham City's newest super villains, Bane and leading lady Selina Kyle. Director Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated epic conclusion hits IMAX theatres worldwide day-and-date with the traditional release on July 20.
While making the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan was the first filmmaker to use IMAX® cameras in a major motion picture release. Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more extensively on The Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience® -including the film's prologue - incorporating a record of more than an hour of footage filmed with IMAX cameras. These specific sequences, which will expand to fill the entire screen exclusively in IMAX, will deliver unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for moviegoers.
"Director Christopher Nolan, Producers Emma Thomas and Chuck Roven, and Cinematographer Wally Pfister's cinematic vision is unparalleled and continues to set the bar for excellence," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "They are long-term partners and we're happy to team with them and our friends at Warner Bros. to offer IMAX fans an opportunity to experience this highly-anticipated conclusion to the Batman trilogy the way it was meant to be seen - in IMAX theatres."
Sequences shot in 35mm have been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale ("The Fighter") again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard ("La Vie en Rose"), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar® winner Michael Caine ("The Cider House Rules") plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby") reprises the role of Lucius Fox.
Sunday Update: Paramount estimates that Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted will take in $60.35 million during its debut frame.
Saturday Update: Paramount reports that Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted managed $20.450 million on Friday. We're projecting a $61.4 million debut frame.
Thursday Update: Paramount reports that Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted already has $7.5 million in the bank from only three territories:
Russia: $3.7 million from 881 locations—the strongest opening ever for an animated flick in Russia.
Korea: $1.9 million from 502 locations
France: $1.9 million from 685 locations
Madagascar 3 opens in 28 markets this coming weekend including Russia, China, France, Korea, Brazil, and Mexico—day and date with the U.S.
Sunday Update: 20th Century Fox estimates that Prometheus' debut haul is $50 million.
Saturday Update: 20th Century Fox reports that Prometheus took in a healthy $21.4 million on Friday. We're projecting $53.5 million for the weekend.
Friday Update: 20th Century Fox reports that Promethus took in $3,561 million from midnight shows at 1,368 North American locations for a location average of $2,603.
Comparable midnight openings include Avatar ($3.537 million), TRON: Legacy ($3.5 million) and X-Men: First Class ($3.37 million). Avatar opened to $77 million; TRON: Legacy did $44 million; X-Men: First Class grabbed $55 million.

Change is inevitable and the changes we have embraced in 2014 have been major.
In June, we celebrated our 30th Anniversary with a kickoff event in Philadelphia at the WBENC National Conference & Business Fair. One of the highlights of this event a new editorial feature called "WBEs Who Rock" (and later, "MBEs Who Rock") and the unveiling of our new cover design. We will once again celebrate some rockin' entrepreneurs with the 2nd Annual "WBEs Who Rock" and 30th Anniversary Wrap Party during the WBENC National Conference in Austin, Texas, in June. Contact us at email@example.com for sponsorship information.
After 30 years, we made the switch from our signature painting to photographs. Based on the favorable commentary, we have made a move in the right direction, and we're not done yet! In addition to a new cover design, we expanded our discussion of global issues to include not only Canada, but the U.K., Australia, Nigeria and South Africa. We will continue to explore issues of diversity and inclusion in the international arena in 2015 and beyond. We have expanded our reach with an increased presence on social media via Twitter and Facebook. And, we also expanded our media offerings to include video and other digital media options. We encourage you to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more.
Finally, we ended the year on an extremely high note with the culmination of our anniversary celebration during National Minority Supplier Diversity Council (NMSDC)'s annual conference. Over 500 guest and dignitaries joined us at SeaWorld in Orlando, FL to help us celebrate our last 30 years and launch us into the next 30. Check out our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/mbemag, to see all the fun.
And, what better time to receive recognition by NMSDC as the 2014 Supplier of the Year in Class 1?
We couldn't have done it without the support of our many advertisers.
As we move into the future, we are excited about the direction in which we are headed and the information we will be providing. You can expect cutting-edge new features that notches up the discussion about diversity and inclusion; and the continued commitment to excellence and reporting on issues critical to the growth and development of minority- and women-owned firms.
We have made many strides over the last 30 years, but there is still a lot that needs to be done as evidenced by the continued challenges to diversity and inclusion in the courts, in the boardroom, and on the streets.
We will keep on fighting the good fight on behalf of economic equality for all communities, and we hope you will join us.
On behalf of Team MBE, I wish you and your families a safe and happy Holiday Season and a Prosperous New Year!

In this, our 30th Anniversary issue, I thought it appropriate that we hear from our founder. So I asked Ginger Conrad to once again grace the Publisher's Page with her thoughts. -Barbara Oliver
I am seldom at a loss for words, but I now find myself wondering what of value I might say after a 3-year absence from the day-to-day concerns of publishing. How do I express what 30 years of this magazine has meant to its readers? Perhaps a look back to the beginning might be in order.
Equal opportunity for minority and women business owners was a relatively new idea in 1984 when I decided that starting a business would be easier than looking for a new job. After doing a bit of research, it was clear that the issues confronting businesses that were government contractors, large and small, were not going to disappear without some "affirmative" action on their part. This was a topic that I thought was worthy of discussion in the press-hence, MBE magazine.
As with any path in life, it was often a bumpy road. But we were committed to supporting the cause of equal opportunity for small, minority- and woman-owned businesses. Following the lead of Congressman Parren Mitchell and other stellar leaders, progress was made, not mile by mile, but inch by inch. Ralph Thomas, Anthony Robinson, Hank Wilfong, Harriet Michel, Susan Phillips Bari, and many others stepped into the fray and kept the momentum going. It was an exciting time and we are happy to have been a part of it.
Yet we wonder if the zeal has diminished. Have we become complacent? Who continues to fight for the cause? Who are our leaders of tomorrow? Who will answer the call to action?
It is my fervent hope that every reader stands up and says, "I will. I will do my part. I will do my best to meet the challenges and carry the torch for minority- and woman-owned businesses."
I am sure that everyone on the staff of MBE magazine will work to continue to tell the stories, report the progress, and discuss the issues. MBE will be around until the job is done…whenever that is…as long as it takes. For now, on this 30th Anniversary, we will salute the past, treasure the memories, and keep marching forward.
--Ginger Conrad

Did you notice anything different when you picked up the magazine today? Perhaps, a new cover design caught your eye. So, now that you've seen this special cover, what do you think?
MBE is innovating but deeply rooted in a rich tradition of brand that brings the supplier diversity community to life. So, no, we are not changing our signature look. However, we are excited about this month's cover design because we wanted to reflect the bold and creative visions of the enterprising women that are covered inside this issue's pages. These women, along with the subjects of our profiles and others mentioned here, represent the next generation of supplier diversity.
They are smart, bold, confident, and fearless. They have been possessed by a vision of their businesses and made moves to pursue it. These women do not take no for an answer-and they know how to leverage their certification and relationships to build alliances.
This is our Women's Issue and we have it packed with a lot of progesterone. It's a woman's world, after all-and this becomes truer every day. Perhaps the most inspiring theme that emerges in story after story is one of collaboration and teamwork. Competition, while still a reality, has taken a back seat to an attitude that seeks to win contracts and tackle tasks in conjunction with their peers, and not against them.
The theme of a common struggle and working to make the world more accessible for minorities and women, who will be pursuing their own dreams of business ownership in the future, is as consistent as collaboration. These women are cognizant of their own battles and work not only to make their own way in the world, but also to prepare that way for other entrepreneurs.
From Donna Stevenson's successful software solution for MWBE contract and compliance management to the resounding successes of the 14 WBENC Stars, you'll find the stories of the remarkable industry leaders within these pages will inspire you, educate you and entertain you. So, enjoy the new look, read and share our stories. This is our tribute to the women of our world.
Add a comment Add a commentWow! What a month June turned out to be! We debuted a new look on the cover of our May/June issue and the response was nothing short of amazing. Everyone was very complimentary.
Then, we had a rocking 30th Anniversary Launch Reception during the WBENC National Conference and Business Fair in Philadelphia. Our thanks once again to co-host Mortgage Staffing Solutions, entertainment sponsor, Grady Health System, and WBENC.
Out with the old…
This response to our new look and subsequent conversations prompted us to make the decision to use photographs for our covers going forward-beginning with our September/October 30th Anniversary Issue. The painting of a minority and/or woman business on our front cover has been one of our signatures for the last 30 years but it is time to make a change.
We have had several artists over the years but the most recent, Robert Sherrill, has been with us for the last 10 years. While in high school, Robert competed in regional shows and did scenic backdrops for school plays. He got a job as a technical draftsman following graduation. He then entered Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, to further his perspective. Painting was where Robert's passion lay, so he began having art shows anywhere possible-antique stores, cafes, etc. Then some commercial opportunities revealed themselves in the form of designer and art director. As he said, "It was fun and prosperous, but not painting." Now, he paints upon commission, figures, landscapes and urban areas.
This issue's cover portrait is Robert's last for MBE magazine and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors, wherever they may take him. I encourage any of our cover features since 2004, who have not already done so, to reach out to him at email@example.com, find out how you may purchase your portrait. Thank you, Robert. You have been a true asset to our publication.
Please visit our Pinterest page, www.pinterest.com/mbemag, to view our cover portraits from the past 30 years. And, be sure to keep an eye out for your invitation to our 30th Anniversary Experience at SeaWorld Orlando on November 1.

I had the pleasure of speaking with a young woman from one of the Eastern European countries earlier this month. She told me of her start in business. She came to the U.S. as an adult, having no knowledge of English. The only job she could find was at the 7-Eleven. But this was not her American Dream. She worked hard to learn the language but still could not find a job that satisfied that dream.
So, she decided to start her own business. According to her, "Since I was the only one who wanted to hire me, then I decided to hire me."
What does it take to be an entrepreneur-to strike out on your own and hire yourself?
Well, you need courage to face the uncertainty of the future-courage to overcome the internal voice that tells you that failure is likely, courage to step out from under the security umbrella that comes with having a steady job. It takes a person who is brave enough to take the first step toward an endeavor and be the final say-to know that their success (and often the success and security of others) relies on them entirely, to know that the buck stops with you.
That's the kind of courage that Hiten Patel (Going All In) had when he acquired the company that is today known as Collabera. He took the chance, left the corporate world, and braved the unknown. But, courage alone is not enough. It also takes vision-the kind that Hernan Etcheto (An Incredible Edible) had when he looked at an egg and saw more than meets the eye. He saw the potential for improvement. And so he went out on his own to make that improvement. His new product represents a major step forward for the food sciences with benefits for our service men and women and many others living in places where fresh food isn't a luxury that they can afford.
It takes tenacity-the kind Lisa Michelle Chretien (Making Moves) showed when she burst into an industry dominated by men with little experience running a business. Chretien, who today has contracts with some of the most impressive trade show regulars, didn't throw her hands in the air and give up in the face of S-corps and C-corps, neither did she when she looked around the room and saw few female cohorts. She was going to start her own business in the trade show industry, and that was final. If tried and failed-fine. But she was going to try.
Most of all, I believe it takes a strong belief in one's self and the willingness to work hard. That's what these entrepreneurs had and that's what they did. That young lady is very successful now and I hope one day soon to be able to tell her story in our pages. Until then, we will continue to celebrate your successes through courage, vision, and tenacity, by telling your stories. But, remember, we won't know them unless you share them with us. Go ahead and connect with us via social media or just drop us a line when you have something to say.

Whether they fit or not, I'm just glad no one said "hey, Blood Angels!" Then again, I'm a bit against them and Space Wolves, for no real, definable reasons anyone else will like. They are among the more personality-bearing Chapters, though.
I've always been a Vanilla Marines fan, but yeah, they might not be the best, and bit cliche as "Squad Leader." Salamanders could work nice.

Helpful iWork Tips
iWork comes free when you purchase an iOS 7 device such as iPad Air. The following tips can make time with these apps more productive. Here are some pieces of advice to ease your way; most of this information works for all three apps.
Lost Features. This one is kind of a bummer, but knowing about it might save some time and aggravation. In the latest version of iWork (2.0.1), 13 features were dropped. These include:
Selecting non-contiguous text
Outline view in Pages
Duplicate pages
Select all instances of a style
135 templates
Templates. Though there are fewer templates in iWork 2.0.1, they are still some of the best out there. Use templates to get a jumpstart on design and blow those PowerPoint users' presentations out of the water. You can go to sites such as freeiworktemplates.com and iworkcommunity.com to get additional templates to make your presentations look even more unique.
Getting Help. The Help feature in iWork is pretty darn helpful. Tap the Help icon in the upper-right corner of the app screen and balloons appear in various spots to point out what you can do by tapping a particular button or icon. One of those balloons labeled Learn More about using XX (where XX is the app you have open) offers more Help topics; tap it to open a help window.
iCloud for Document Management. If you use Pages for iCloud, your iPad will automatically store your documents online. You can access them from any of your iOS devices or a Mac. You can even edit documents in your browser with Pages, Numbers, or Keynote for iCloud. Use iCloud in Settings and after entering your ID, tap Documents & Data to turn it on. A list of apps allows you to turn the iCoud feature on for the iWork apps.
Password Protect Documents. Some documents are more private than others. If you create one you want to keep secure, you can set up a password for individual iWork documents. To do so, with the document open, Tap the Tools button and then tap Set Password. Type in your password and confirm it, along with a hint to help you if you have a memory lapse.
Organize Documents in Folders. If you've created quite a few documents — for example, a slew of Keynote presentations or dozens of spreadsheets in Numbers — and are organizationally challenged, consider creating folders to keep them in order. In Keynote, for example, just Tap Presentations to go to the Presentations Manager and tap Edit. You then simply drag it onto another presentation you want to store with it in a folder. Enter a name for the folder and then tap Done. Repeat this procedure to place as many presentations as you like in that folder or create additional folders.

Although most Hebrew and Greek words for lion are used in a figurative sense, nevertheless we can draw a number of inferences regarding the perceived characteristics and behavior of literal lions. They are, among other things, strong ( Pr 30:30 ), especially in their teeth ( Job 4:10 ) and paws ( 1 Sam 17:37 ), fearless ( Prov 28:1 ; 30:30 ), stealthy ( Psalm 17:12 ), frightening ( Ezra 19:7 ; Hosea 11:10 ; Amos 3:8 ), destructive ( 1 Sam 17:34 ; Micah 5:8 ), and territorially protective ( Isa 31:4 ). Yet for all its seeming autonomy, the lion is ultimately dependent on God ( Job 38:39-40 ; Psalm 104:21 ), answerable to him ( Job 4:10 ), and subdued in the millennial age ( Isa 11:6-7 ).
The many notable qualities of the lion are often applied figuratively in a variety of ways to individuals and nations. The king is frightening in his anger ( Prov 19:12 ; 20:2 ), the soldier courageous ( 2 Sam 17:10 ), national leaders vicious ( Ezek 22:25 ; Zeph 3:3 ), enemy nations destructive ( Isa 5:29 ; Jer 2:15 ) and protective of their conquests ( Isa 5:29 ), and personal enemies stealthy in their pursuit to harm ( Psalm 10:9 ; 17:12 ).
God is described with a number of leonine features. He is strong ( Isa 38:13 ), fearless in protecting his own ( Isa 31:4 ), stealthy in coming upon his prey ( Jer 49:19 ; Hosea 13:7 ), frightening ( Hosea 11:10 ; Amos 3:8 ), and destructive ( Jer 25:38 ; Lam 3:10 ; Hosea 5:14 ; 13:8 ). In am 3:8 "The Lion" even appears as a title for God.
The idea of a Lion of the Tribe of Judah is problematic because the fundamental passage ( Rev 5:5 ) is grammatically ambiguous and because there is no exact antecedent parallel. First, it is unclear whether in Revelation 5:5 we have one title of Christ (Lion of the Tribe of Judah) or two titles standing in apposition (The Lion; The One of the Tribe of Judah). Second, the alleged parallels are only approximate parallels. In Genesis 49:9 there is no lion of Judah; rather, Judah is a lion. In 2 (4) Esdras 11:37; 12:1, 31 the Messiah is pictured as a lion, but not specifically of Judah. In the Testament of Judah 24:5 the Messiah is from Judah but not specifically as a lion. Given the imprecision in the alleged parallels, the cautious interpreter would not make much of the tradition that combines "lion" and "of the Tribe of Judah" into one idea, but rather would understand Jesus the Lamb to be called Messiah under two images derived from separate traditions.
Finally, the lion figure is expansive enough in its manifold facets to suggest its application to Satan. Such meaning is possible in 2 Timothy 4:17, but 1pe 5:8 is its classic occurrence. Here Satan is portrayed as both frightening his prey and silently stalking it to devour it. This devouring is best seen as potentially successful and as consisting of physical death. Therefore, professing believers should not lose faith, even in the face of the devil's most relentless pressures to give up.

"The most powerful, daring and impressive of all carnivorous animals, the most magnificent in aspect and awful in voice." At present lions do not exist in Palestine; but they must in ancient times have been numerous. The lion of Palestine was in all probability the Asiatic variety, described by Aristotle and Pliny as distinguished by its short and curly mane, and by being shorter and rounder in shape, like the sculptured lion found at Arban. It was less daring than the longer named species, but when driven by hunger it not only ventured to attack the flocks in the desert in presence of the shepherd, ( 1 Samuel 17:34 ; Isaiah 31:4 ) but laid waste towns and villages, ( 2 Kings 17:25 2 Kings 17:26 ; Proverbs 22:13 ; 26:13 ) and devoured men. ( 1 Kings 13:24 ; 20:36 ) Among the Hebrews, and throughout the Old Testament, the lion was the achievement of the princely tribe of Judah, while in the closing book of the canon it received a deeper significance as the emblem of him who "prevailed to open the book and loose the seven seals thereof." ( Revelation 5:5 ) On the other hand its fierceness and cruelty rendered it an appropriate metaphor for a fierce and malignant enemy. ( Psalms 7:2 ; 22:21 ; 57:4 ; 2 Timothy 4:17 ) and hence for the arch-fiend himself. ( 1 Peter 5:8 )
(1) Occurring most often in the Old Testament is 'aryeh, plural 'ardyoth. Another form, 'ari, plural 'arayim, is found less often.
1. Names:
Compare 'ari'el, "Ariel" (Ezra 8:16; Isaiah 29:1,2,7); char'el, "upper altar," and 'ari'el, "altar hearth" (Ezekiel 43:15); 'aryeh, "Arieh" (2 Kings 15:25); 'ar'eli, "Areli" and "Arelites" (Genesis 46:16; Numbers 26:17).
(2) kephir, "young lion," often translated "lion" (Psalms 35:17; Proverbs 19:12; 23:1, etc.).
(3) shachal, translated "fierce lion" or "lion" (Job 4:10; 10:16; 28:8; Hosea 5:14).
(4) layish, translated "old lion" or "lion" (Job 4:11; Proverbs 30:30; Isaiah 30:6).
Compare Arabic laith, "lion":
layish, "Laish," or "Leshem" (Joshua 19:47; Judges 18:7,14,27,29); layish, "Laish" (1 Samuel 25:44; 2 Samuel 3:15).
(5) lebhi, plural lebha'im, "lioness", also labhi', and 'lebhiya' (Genesis 49:9; Numbers 23:24; 24:9); compare town in South of Judah, Lebaoth (Joshua 15:32) or Beth-lebaoth (Joshua 19:6); also Arabic labwat, "lioness "; Lebweh, a town in Coele-Syria.
(6) aur, gor, "whelp," with 'aryeh or a pronoun, e.g. "Judah is a lion's whelp," gur 'aryeh (Genesis 49:9); "young ones" of the jackal (Lamentations 4:3). Also bene labhi', "whelps (sons) of the lioness" (Job 4:11); and kephir 'arayoth, "young lion," literally, "the young of lions" (Judges 14:5). In Job 28:8, the King James Version has "lion's whelps" for bene shachats, the Revised Version (British and American) "proud beasts." the Revised Version margin "sons of pride"; compare Job 41:34 (Hebrew 26).
(7) leon, "lion" (2 Timothy 4:17; Hebrews 11:33; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 4:7; 5:5; The Wisdom of Solomon 11:17; Ecclesiasticus 4:30; 13:19; Bel and the Dragon 31,32,34).
(8) skumnos, "whelp" (1 Macc 3:4).
2. Natural History:
The lion is not found in Palestine at the present day, though in ancient times it is known to have inhabited not only Syria and Palestine but also Asia Minor and the Balkan peninsula, and its fossil remains show that it was contemporary with prehistoric man in Northwestern Europe and Great Britain. Its present range extends throughout Africa, and it is also found in Mesopotamia, Southern Persia, and the border of India. There is some reason to think that it may be found in Arabia, but its occurrence there remains to be proved. The Asiatic male lion does not usually have as large a mane as the African, but both belong to one species, Fells leo.
3. Figurative:
Lions are mentioned in the Bible for their strength (Judges 14:18), boldness (2 Samuel 17:10), ferocity (Psalms 7:2), and stealth (Psalms 10:9; Lamentations 3:10). Therefore in prophetical references to the millennium, the lion, with the bear, wolf, and leopard, is mentioned as living in peace with the ox, calf, kid, lamb and the child (Psalms 91:13; Isaiah 11:6-8; 65:25). The roaring of the lion is often mentioned (Job 4:10; Psalms 104:21; Isaiah 31:4 (the Revised Version (British and American) "growling"); Jeremiah 51:38; Ezekiel 22:25; Hosea 11:10). Judah is a "lion's whelp" (Genesis 49:9), likewise Da (Deuteronomy 33:22). It is said of certain of David's warriors (1 Chronicles 12:8) that their "faces were like the faces of lions." David's enemy (Psalms 17:12) "is like a lion that is greedy of his prey." "The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion" (Proverbs 19:12). God in His wrath is "unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah" (Hosea 5:14). "The devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). "Lion" occurs in the figurative language of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. The figures of lions were used in the decorations of Solomon's temple and throne (1 Kings 7:29,36; 10:19).
4. Narrative:
Nearly all references to the lion are figurative. The only notices of the lion in narrative are of the lion slain by Samson (Judges 14:5); by David (1 Samuel 17:34); by Benaiah (2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22); the prophet slain by a lion (1 Kings 13:24; also 1 Kings 20:36); the lions sent by the Lord among the settlers in Samaria (2 Kings 17:25); Daniel in the lions' den (Daniel 6:16). In all these cases the word used is 'aryeh or 'ari.
5. Vocabulary:
The Arabic language boasts hundreds of names for the lion. Many of these are, however, merely adjectives used substantively. The commonest Arabic names are sab`, 'asad, laith, and labwat, the last two of which are identified above with the Hebrew layish and labhi'. As in Arabic, so in Hebrew, the richness of the language in this particular gives opportunity for variety of expression, as in Job 4:10,11:
"The roaring of the lion ('aryeh), and the voice of the fierce lion (shachal),
And the teeth of the young lions (kephirim), are broken.
The old lion (layish) perisheth for lack of prey,
And the whelps of the lioness (bene labhi') are scattered abroad."
In Judges 14:5-18, no less than three different terms, kephir 'arayoth, aryeh, and 'ari, are used of Samson's lion.

Something I always want to talk about with people but never really do because I'm not sure if this is a thing that everyone necessarily agrees on, and I don't want to come off looking like some kind of NERD, but, I LOVE HOLIDAY TV SPECIALS! I also love holiday episodes of normal TV shows. Do you?! I hope you do. And since, once again, it seems like almost everyone is too busy creating holiday memories or flying in planes or riding in buses or sleeping or buying thoughtless gifts at the very last minute to report any important news for us to discuss, why not discuss something that we actually care about? HOLIDAY TV? Great, I'm on board with this plan too. My favorite special is, of course, the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special, because that is the best one. That's why I picked it for my favorite. It has everything: Clonky, songs, fruitcakes, Oprah, Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, Grace Jones, an episode of the Penny cartoon, a dreidel, ETC. It is the best. I also love the Twilight Zone Christmas episode, "The Night of the Meek." Every 30 Rock Christmas episode is great. And of course, you know, A Charlie Brown Christmas and the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special. Those are the classics. Oh and I really liked last year's Community claymation special that I think was kind of ill-received with some people. I thought it was great, though! So, those are all very good. But so many are very good. What do you guys think is very good? Is the Pee-Wee special your favorite too? Yes?

A thousand times yes to this! I find it to be on par with Charlie Brown to be one of the most genuine Christmas specials around. A simple story with a simple message in a beautifully realized world.
This post kind of sums up exactly what's great about it: http://amuchdeeperlevel.blogspot.com/2011/12/otter-sincerity.html
All the Henson specials are great ("The Bells of Fraggle Rock," "Muppet Family Christmas," and "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street") but Emmet Otter stands apart, given how tragic it becomes for this family of woodland creatures who have done nothing but be pleasant and moral. It reminds us of those less fortunate and how Christmas can be a burden as well as a blessing.
Goddamn you, YouTube. Why do you have everything?!
A Muppet Family Christmas is my favorite. It has the Muppets, Sesame Street AND the Fraggles all in one special.
I love that one too! Sadly I only have it on a taped-from-TV VHS my mum made me and no longer have a way to watch it. I must fix this.
Merry Christmas.
Fun fact: I drafted a Star Trek: The Next Generation Christmas episode in the early 90′s when they were accepting spec scripts. It had to do with Q teaching Data about Christmas. I was 9.
In addition to the aforementioned "Muppet Family Christmas Special," I have to nominate for vice president "Opus 'n' Bill's: A Wish for Wings That Work: An Opus Christmas Story"
Last night I watched the Christmas episode from Season 1 of The West Wing. Toby organizes the funeral for the homeless vet! I may have cried…
I tear up just thinking about that one! And even more, once I read this:
I know everyone stopped watching the Simpsons years ago, but their latest episode is pretty good. Pretty good. http://www.hulu.com/watch/309601/the-simpsons-holidays-of-future-passed

SalonCapri to Host Second Annual Jazz Brunch Series
Treat yourself to a new look while enjoying live music, munching on treats, and sipping some luxury beverages.
As spring finally blossoms and puts a nip on the bud of the unforgiving winter, you might be thinking that a fresh new look is in order, too. Thankfully, that's where SalonCapri comes in.
Every Saturday starting May 3 through June, salon will host its second annual jazz brunch series, where every visit comes with live music, snacks, and drinks.
As grand as it is already just to get primped and pruned on Newbury Street, imagine this: an expert stylist works magic on your locks, while you lean back and relax with a complimentary pastry in one hand, and a fresh beverage in the other (coffee, juice, mimosas). And to top it off, a jazz band serenades the entire experience. This year's live music will be performed by Chroma, a group out of Berklee College of Music.
Yes, it's a luxury when compared to frequenting Supercuts or "sampling" the beauty products at Sephora. But if you have to spend an hour nervously getting your hair done anyway, wouldn't you rather do it with seasoned experts while indulging in a croissant and espresso? It's an all-star way to get it done.
SalonCapri (last year's Best of Boston winner for Best Hair Salon) is located on the second floor of 11 Newbury St., Boston, 617-236-0020, saloncapri.com. Jazz brunch events take place Saturdays, May 3 through June 28, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Appointments recommended.

A 49-year-old man is free on bond and awaiting trial, after being charged with using his former employer's business account to obtain more than $21,000 worth of goods from an automotive parts store in Naperville.
Joseph T. McGinnis surrendered June 14 at the Naperville police station, and was released after posting $5,000 bond, the mandatory 10 percent of his $50,000 bail. He faces trial in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton on a felony charge of theft or unauthorized control over $10,000 but less than $100,000 in cash or property, according to court records.
McGinnis lives on the 10700 block of Royal Porthcawl Drive.
Police Sgt. Bill Davis said McGinnis was arrested after several thefts between August 2010 and May 2013.
"McGinnis was a former employee of an auto repair shop in Glen Ellyn," Davis wrote Friday in an email. He allegedly made "numerous" purchases and charged them "to a business account that (he) did not have authorization to use," Davis wrote.
The allegedly fraudulent purchases were made "at an auto parts store in the 700 block of Enterprise Court," Davis wrote. An online telephone directory indicated a NAPA Auto Parts store is located there.
Davis said "the total amount charged to the account was in excess of $21,000."
An examination of court documents revealed McGinnis has no criminal record in DuPage, Will or Kane counties. His preliminary court appearance date is pending.

The left side offers ten locations to set a Macro, and also offers a button to reset all of the functionality back to default. At the right, it shows all of the keys that can be used to assign a macro to, on the five various profiles along the top. There are of course the profile buttons, Function button, and the Windows key, that cannot be reprogrammed.
In this image, we are setting things up from profile one, and we randomly picked the T-key to assign the first macro. Once the key is selected, the M1 offers a dropdown box of standard commands you can choose; the ability to launch an application, or program your own specific Macro to said key.
The Macro editor is basic, and simple to use. I recorded something simple at the left by using the record button at the top, and when the settings gear is clicked, a second window opens for single fire, continuous fire while pressed, or continuous fire until the next button on the keyboard is read. The folder buttons will allow the import and export of any Macros you may have already developed, as well as offloading whole profiles when you need more than five games worth.
