Love them! so hard to come by these days |

Looks like an HD price tag? I'd love to find some of these. Every time I see a documentary about hummingbirds, there's Heliconia involved. (That's the only reason I'd abide plain green leaves like that.) I think there are a bunch of different ones. Do those indicate which species they are? |

not to hijack this thread... purple, if you'd like to attract hummingbirds, and you like purple... have you seen Salvia 'Amistad' yet? i know you like purple foliage, but maybe purple flowers would suffice? it's a new plant so it might not have made it to your local stores yet. cheers, nancy |
Here is a link that might be useful: Salvia forum - Salvia 'Amistad'

TY, Nancy, love those purple flowers! I think all Salvia are nectar plants, if you see any others out there, it's a pretty safe bet. So have you brought one of these home yet, Will? I'm dying to repot them, BTW, release them from those strangling bonds, they look like they've run out of room to grow. |

Those Psittacorum Heliconias look good but they rapidly become a bit of a nightmare. No container (or garden) is big enough for them. They just multiply and grow fast. They flower for a long time and there's a range of colours. So if you can keep them confined they're great. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Aug 27, 13 at 8:56
Do they grow like Sans, with a creeping rhizome? Sounds perfect to be killed by winter, which saves me from accidentally starting "little Florida" right here across the border with a lot of stuff. |
Again I work at RONA. And no I didn't buy one, I wanted to though I love the colours. I Don't have any more room for plants. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Aug 28, 13 at 5:03
They have a running rhizome, but it's not all that deep down. They spread out into my lawns and other gardens. I mow them down but they just reshoot. From what I've read on forums though, they die back to the ground at temperatures still above freezing. This is a problem with a lot of Heliconias, they spread out rapidly. Some people here suggest only keeping them in pots. But they rapidly fill pots as well. The flowers are really great though. |

This sounds like a kind of plant I would love to play with - like Cannas but 'safe.' It sounds like you don't have any, Tropic? The flowers or leaves don't do much for me, but if hummingbirds would enjoy it, I'm all for it. I wonder if these can be stored dormant, like a Canna, Gladiolus, or Colocasia bulb? Daggone it, apparently I've failed some kind of quiz. Never heard of RONA store, but I better remember that's where Will works! Don't even tell me that having no more room means that one stops acquiring plants, I won't listen! It's been tried before. Are these plants outside at the store where hummingbirds could visit? Are there hummingbirds in Canada? Last summer I saw a hummingbird moth (not related to actual hummingbirds at all) visiting flowers at a WM, that was cool. |
Lol purple, RONA is strictly a Canadian store. And no these plants are not outside. We have a greenhouse. And yes there are humming birds in Canada. As for no more room for new plants...I have no room for big plants at all. I like to buy them tiny and grow them. The only plant I ever bought in a 10" pot was a cordyline for my mother one spring and I don't know what happened to it. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 16:05
Awww, do you think the hummers know y'all are holding out on them like that? I feel the same way about the excitement of watching the tiny things grow, like already-growing Cannas or Dahlias in a pot don't tempt me, but the bags of naked rhizomes do! Sounds like you would prefer to start with a Ti log than the plant, my kind of fun too. Have you sprouted any avocados? Thanks for the lil' virtual Canadian shopping trip. Hummers also like Cannas! This guy is just flying by for a great chance photo, but I've watched them sample each open bloom time after time. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 19:08
Purp, I've truelly got hundreds of the Psittacorum Heliconias, but it's not all that bad if I can keep them where they are and stop them from spreading. I've also a few other less rampant ones, including the Dwarf Jamaican. Normally they don't go dormant so don't know what would happen if the rhizomes were stored after they got knocked back by cold. Logically you'd think they'd be okay if they didn't dry out completely. I like Heliconias and plan to get some more of the larger ones. Only problem is wallabies like those taller ones - 'every silver lining has it's cloud', LOL. |
Will heliconia survive planted outdoors in zone 8 |

Help Us Identify This Civil War Photo
We need your help identifying the location of this photo! Taken during the Civil War, it was a 1911 gift from Edmund A. Whitman to the Society. The photograph accompanied the materials of his father, Col. Edmund Burke Whitman, a Harvard graduate and army quartermaster in the Civil War. Col. Whitman played a key role in the creation of the cemetery system for the Civil War dead, which was constructed after the war. During the war his career took him many places in the North and South, so it does not narrow the possibilities of this photograph's location.
View a larger scan of the image here. It depicts what appear to be four African American soldiers with a cannon, probably a rifled Rodman breech-loading siege gun, a large cannon designed to knock down enemy fortifications. These Rodman guns were used by both the North and South. Since the Rodman gun fired cylindrical shells that looked like enormous modern-day bullets, the round cannon balls depicted were not used for that gun and may indicate that the emplacement had been in use before the arrival of these soldiers.
The fortification in the photograph appears old, and the grass growing over it indicates it was not very well maintained. Churches and other large buildings and a wide, bending river are visible in the background. It is likely that some of the buildings in this photograph still stand and the modern-day view from the same vantage point is somewhat similar.
The soldiers could have been members of one of several U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery Regiments from the Civil War, designated with the numbers 1 and 3-14. They were raised in 1864, although some existed as state units prior to being called into federal service and re-numbered. Some remained in service, occupying the South after the end of the war. If the soldiers were part of these regiments, it would narrow the possibilities of the photo's location because they often were assigned to border garrisons away from the fighting or to areas of the South occupied by the Union. However, the soldiers depicted in the photograph would not have needed to be members of a heavy artillery battery in order to man a siege gun, and there were African American artillery men not assigned to heavy artillery regiments.
Please help us solve this longstanding mystery! If you think you recognize the location of this photograph or have other related information, please share it in the comments below.

I will be happy to do some research. At first glance, it looks like it may be around Petersburg, VA.

are directly related to economic and social conditions in low-income neighborhoods and to the availability of guns in American society. The rise in teenage homicide and suicide also suggests increasingly high levels of hopelessness, grief, and anger among adolescents. Because of high injury and violence rates, young people in the United States are far more likely to die during adolescence than teenagers in other industrialized countries. Perhaps most important is the fact that the most salient causes of adolescent mortality and morbidity are entirely preventable.
Adolescence is characterized by exploration and experimentation, behaviors that to some extent are developmentally appropriate and socially adaptive, even if they involve a certain amount of risk-taking. Risk-taking involves, among other things, exploration, imagination, developing new and more intimate relationships with peers, testing new levels of independence, establishing a new identity, developing values, unleashing creativity, trying on different hats to see what fits. Carried to extremes, however, risky behaviors may impair mental and physical health. And health risks, such as pregnancy and substance use, may be problems not just when they happen; the consequences of these acts can reach far into the future, and their antecedents are very likely to emerge even before adolescence. But just as adolescence is a time when damaging patterns of behavior can begin to take hold, it also represents an excellent opportunity for the formation of healthful practices.
A large proportion of adolescents in the United States are engaging in sexual activity and at earlier ages than before, often without the knowledge or skills required to protect themselves from unintended pregnancies and infection with sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Studies show that by the 12th grade, nearly 70 percent of adolescents have had sexual intercourse, and approximately a quarter of all students have had sex with four or more partners. This puts many adolescents at high risk for unintended pregnancy, increased incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, and a host of emotional problems associated with a lack of preparation for sex.
For teenagers of different ages, at different stages of cognitive and emotional development, and living under different social, economic, and cultural circumstances, choices concerning sexual behavior reflect very different degrees of rational thinking and conscious decision making. A

Robots.txt (no dir) - Meta (index,follow) - *.hta (password)
I have some question about search-engines and site-copying software.
Suppose, I have an index.htm file, a robot.txt file and 2 directories (dir1 and dir2) in the root-dir, like:
I want a search-engine to index, follow etc all files in dir1, but not dir2!
Is it correct for me to think to do:
index.htm + <meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
robots.txt + disable dir2
Or do I miss something?
Suppose I protect all files in dir2 using *.hta (password)
Can I include these files in the index.htm without being ask for a password, like:
In dir2 i have world.gif
In index.htm I have <img src="dir2/world.gif">
Or is the user being ask for a password / how does it work / from within the url?
When Q2 is yes:
I have no *.hta file on the server, can I make one myself and put it in the root directory?
The name of the *.hta-file needs to be .hta (so [0.3])?
The rest of my .hta questions are answered in wsa's perfect tutorial.
I know that after visiting a site all files are on the HD etc, etc and I am not protecting anything in what-ever way.
However, I do not like copy soft-ware copying everything in one time, can I prevent this? I can not do anything server-side!
Thanks for Your effort / ideas,

Supposedly the Robots txt file permits or prevents the access of robots from searching sudirectories that you do not want them into.
Don't count on it.
However, if you want to keep robots and people not authorized OUT of a folder, then basically you can place an .htaccess file in that particular folder... or as you called it *.hta ...
However.. that won't work...
If you are serving your site up form your own computer, and you are in windows then minor problem... however then you can load up apache and in the config file rename .htaccess whatever you want, that works. If you are posting to a web site on the web then you have to call it, .htacess.
place one with retrictions in each folder you do want limited or no access.
adn in each open to the public folder just don't put one.
c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\
no .htaccess
yes robot.txt
yes index.html etc. etc.
yes login.html to grant access to dir2 after passwrod and
user name confirmed
c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\dir1
no .htaccess
yes robot.txt
yes index.html etc. etc.
c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\dir2 (locked)
yes .htaccess needed to lock folder
no robot.txt not needed
yes index.html etc. etc.

January 2015
Overview The Scatter Creek Bridge, located about six miles east of Enumclaw, is an important link on State Route 410. To reduce the risk of damage in an earthquake, a contractor crew is going to install steel column jackets on the bridge's two supporting piers. This is vitally important because there are no local roads to use as a detour if earthquake damage closed the bridge. During the winter, a closure would totally cut off people between the span and Crystal Mountain.That's because SR 410 closes for each winter at Crystal Mountain Boulevard and remains closed until spring. In addition to earthquakes, one of the piers is vulnerable to erosion from the creek's waters. Rocks and other material native to the stream will be added at the base of the column footing to help reduce erosion.The project also will improve fish habitat by removing concrete and rebar debris from the creek left from an old bridge. Crews will rebuild the stream bed and place habitat logs and woody debris for fish.
Why is WSDOT doing a seismic retrofit on the SR 410 Scatter Creek Bridge? The Scatter Creek Bridge is supported by two single column piers, which puts it at a greater risk of being damaged in an earthquake than bridges with multi-column piers. Adding steel column jackets will strengthen the columns and help hold them together during an earthquake, reducing the possibility of bridge collapse. Adding rock around the base of one bridge column will prevent erosion, or scouring, and help keep the column stable during flooding.
The End Result The Scatter Creek Bridge will be more secure in the event of an earthquake or flooding.Fish habitat in the creek will be improved.

BP's CEO, Tony (I want my life back!) Hayward is testifying today before a House Committee, and he just received a heartfelt apology from one of his most loyal subjects. Joe Barton (R. Texas) just apologized to BP.
The Republican Party's quintessential oil Congressman, Barton told Hayward how shameful it was that the Obama Administration would "shake down" BP by demanding that it give up dividends to shareholders and instead set aside a small fraction of their net revenues to the greedy Gulf folks who've been only slightly inconvenienced by losing their jobs, their livelihoods, and their environment. Never mind that BP agreed to this on its own, because it knows or fears it's legal liability may eventually become worse.
I'm so glad Barton, like fellow Republicans Haley Barbour, John Boehner and Michelle Bachmann before him, did that, because I've been worried Americans might be giving BP and the oil industry the wrong impression by telling them we expect them to pay for the damages they cause when they're criminally negligent, kill people, ruin the Gulf and then lie to us about it. This ancient principle of responsibility has run its course and just isn't American anymore.
Now that the oil industry knows how much we appreciate how they've transformed the Gulf into a place safe for unrestricted drilling, it's now time for Congressional Republicans to apologize, on behalf of a distraught and repentant American people, to Wall Street bankers too. We all deeply regret that their profits took a temporary hit before we came to our senses and made them all fabulously wealthy again. And everyone chipped in to make it up to them — like $14 trillion in lost wealth — especially the 15 million who are unemployed or about to be layed off because Congress thinks firing teachers is the way to increase budget revenues.
And thank the goddess that someone finally showed Obama how to show proper respect to people who don't have our interests at heart. All that bowing is nothing compared to the on-your-knees performance by Republican Joe Barton.
God Bless BP! And God Bless the Congressmen they bought and paid for! Ain't American something?
Update: My apologies to Barton! Apparently he was only trying to protect the retirements of small people, like BP shareholder John Boehner:
House Republican Leader John Boehner bought between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in BP, the company responsible for the spill that has spurred an environmental disaster. Boehner, of West Chester, purchased the stock on Dec. 10, four months before the April 20 explosion that set off the spill.
Rep. Mike Turner of Centerville owns between $1,000 and $15,000 in stock in Transocean Ltd., the company that owned the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which was leased by BP and sunk after the explosion, killing 11 workers.
The White House Press Office has a different view:
"What is shameful is that Joe Barton seems to have more concern for big corporations that caused this disaster than the fishermen, small business owners and communities whose lives have been devastated by the destruction. Congressman Barton may think that a fund to compensate these Americans is a 'tragedy', but most Americans know that the real tragedy is what the men and women of the Gulf Coast are going through right now. Members from both parties should repudiate his comments."
Update II: The Hill: Florida Republican calls for Barton to step down:
Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), whose Pensacola district is among the most-impacted areas in the Gulf by the oil spill, condemned Barton for apologizing to BP CEO Tony Hayward during a committee meeting on Thursday.
"I condemn Mr. Barton's statement. Mr. Barton's remarks are out of touch with this tragedy and I feel his comments call into question his judgment and ability to serve in a leadership on the Energy and Commerce Committee," Miller said in a statement. "He should step down as Ranking Member of the Committee."
Even John Boehner is running away. And David Dayen picks up the story from there: Republicans are in full, modified, limited retreat, sort of, based on a "misconstrued misconstruction."
Open Secrets: Where does Joe Barton's money come from?
Nancy Pelosi, How come Republicans vote "no" on everything?

Nintendo moves from one era into an exciting new one, and has kept the whole industry abuzz with excitement at the prospect of its new Wii console.
Now the Wii is here and there are already some great games available for it, but all the excitement surrounding Wii has somewhat overshadowed some of the fantastic GameCube releases that arrived in 2006, so along with the best Wii launch games, here are the best GC games that deserve their moment in the spotlight.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
After nearly three years of waiting, and over a year of agonising delays, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is every bit as awesome as we'd hoped.
Nintendo has created by far the biggest and most awe-inspiring version of Hyrule ever packed so full of intriguing characters, side quests and secret caves that seeing everything will take even the most seasoned Zelda at least 50 hours. But that's 50 hours of pure glory for every Nintendo fan who does it.
The GameCube version is every bit as amazing, but if you want the full Twilight Princes experience you need to play the Wii one, with actions like fishing, throwing bombs and shooting arrows made awesome by the Wii Remote.
Red Steel
When Nintendo unveiled the Wii and movement-sensitive controller, Ubisoft immediately jumped on board, pledging an astonishing nine games for the Wii launch period, and the one that got everyone excited was Red Steel, their ultra-slick first-person shooter.
Us gamers are suckers for anything remotely Japanese, so the game's all-over Japanese theme and Tokyo setting made it all the more appealing. With it's sword fighting that let players slash the Wii Remote to slice up yakuza gangsters, Red Steel was one of the most unique FPS experiences of 2006.
Tomb Raider Legend
After a run of painfully average adventure managed to leave the reputation of one gaming's biggest stars in complete ridicule, Tomb Raider Legend arrived and brought Lara Croft back into contention.
Some complained that it simply repeated many of the tricks and puzzles of the original game that released on PlayStation in 1996, but for most of us, that was a complete godsend. Forget all those bike-riding, roof-hopping gimmicks, TRL is pure, rock-pushing, tomb raiding goodness from start to finish.
Wii Sports
Wii Sports has bare-bones graphics, is without any deep tournament modes and you can see most of what it has to offer in the first hour of play. Yet this pack-in game is one of the most important games of 2006 because it demonstrates perfectly how Wii and movement-sensing controller will revolutionise gaming on the new console.
It's the game that the millions of potential gamers - who don't already buy games - will see being played in shops or at a friend's house and decide immediately that they must own Wii. For that reason, it does exactly what it was intended to do - show off the Wii, and has no doubt contributed massively to the overwhelming success of the Wii. And it's bloody good fun in multiplayer too.
Wii Play
Again, just like Wii Sports, it's not about depth or features with Wii Play. It's about the role that it plays in demonstrating how amazing the Wii is.
Its nine games were designed to demonstrate each and every function of the Wii Remote, and with the exception of one or two slightly pointless games, many of them are genuinely addictive too. We find ourselves here at CVG competing daily to get the highest score in Shooting, or working together to crack every level in the rock-solid Tanks game. Billiards is great and so is Find Mii. And for just a fiver (it comes with a Wii Remote for £35), Wii Play is worth every penny.

"It's Complicated..."
And then he was like I have to leave as im getting late to work, so while he was stepping out, I returned back everything he gave me including the birthday presents and teddy bears. and he left. I am lost now. I really love him and need him back. I know that I'm not doing this due to the sense of being rejected, but because I actually love him. He says that he wants to move on hence he isnt showing any love and that he was hesitating to meet today too. He said i should stop pleading as its just pushing him away from me.

1 If you return, Israel- [this is]*The bracketed text has been added for clarity. the Lord's declaration- [if] you return to Me, if you remove your detestable idols from My presence and do not waver, | 1 "If you will return, O Israel, return to me," declares the LORD. "If you put your detestable idols out of my sight and no longer go astray, |
2 if you swear, As the Lord lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness, then the nations will be blessed by Him and will pride themselves in Him. | 2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way you swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives,' then the nations will be blessed by him and in him they will glory." |
3 For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: Break up the unplowed ground; do not sow among the thorns. | 3 This is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: "Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns. |
4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord; remove the foreskin of your hearts, men of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. Otherwise, My wrath will break out like fire and burn with no one to extinguish [it] because of your evil deeds. | 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, circumcise your hearts, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done-- burn with no one to quench it. |
5 Declare in Judah, proclaim in Jerusalem, and say: Blow the ram's horn throughout the land. Cry out loudly and say: Assemble yourselves, and let's flee to the fortified cities. | 5 "Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' |
6 Lift up a signal flag toward Zion. Run for cover! Don't stand still! For I am bringing disaster from the north- a great destruction. | 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." |
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his lair to make your land a waste. Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins. | 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. |
8 Because of this, put on sackcloth; mourn and wail, for the Lord's burning anger has not turned away from us. | 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. |
9 "On that day"-[this is] the Lord's declaration-"the king and the officials will lose their courage. The priests will tremble in fear, and the prophets will be scared speechless." | 9 "In that day," declares the LORD, "the king and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled." |
10 I said, "Oh no, Lord God , You have certainly deceived this people and Jerusalem, by announcing, 'You will have peace,' while a sword is at our throats." | 10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, how completely you have deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats." |
11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, "A searing wind [blows] from the barren heights in the wilderness on the way to My dear people. [It comes] not to winnow or to sift; | 11 At that time this people and Jerusalem will be told, "A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; |
12 a wind too strong for this comes at My call. Now I will also pronounce judgments against them." | 12 a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them." |
13 Look, he advances like clouds; his chariots are like a storm. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined! | 13 Look! He advances like the clouds, his chariots come like a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined! |
14 Wash the evil from your heart, Jerusalem, so that you will be delivered. How long will you harbor malicious thoughts within you? | 14 O Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts? |
15 For a voice announces from Dan, proclaiming malice from Mount Ephraim. | 15 A voice is announcing from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim. |
16 Warn the nations: Look! Proclaim to Jerusalem: Those who besiege are coming from a distant land; they raise their voices against the cities of Judah. | 16 "Tell this to the nations, proclaim it to Jerusalem: 'A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of Judah. |
17 They have her surrounded like those who guard a field, because she has rebelled against Me. [This is]*The bracketed text has been added for clarity. the Lord's declaration. | 17 They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,' " declares the LORD. |
18 Your way of life and your actions have brought this on you. This is your punishment. It is very bitter, because it has reached your heart! | 18 "Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!" |
19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in agony! Oh, the pain in my heart! My heart pounds; I cannot be silent. For you, my soul, have heard the sound of the ram's horn- the shout of battle. | 19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. |
20 Disaster after disaster is reported, for the whole land is destroyed. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, my tent curtains, in a moment. | 20 Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment. |
21 How long must I see the signal flag and hear the sound of the ram's horn? | 21 How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the trumpet? |
22 For My people are fools; they do not know Me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing what is evil, but they do not know how to do what is good. | 22 "My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good." |
23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty. [I looked] to the heavens, and their light was gone. | 23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone. |
24 I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the hills shook. | 24 I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the hills were swaying. |
25 I looked, and no man was left; all the birds of the sky had fled. | 25 I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky had flown away. |
26 I looked, and the fertile field was a wilderness. All its cities were torn down because of the Lord and His burning anger. | 26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert; all its towns lay in ruins before the LORD, before his fierce anger. |
27 For this is what the Lord says: The whole land will be a desolation, but I will not finish it off. | 27 This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. |
28 Because of this, the earth will mourn; the skies above will grow dark. I have spoken; I have planned, and I will not relent or turn back from it. | 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back." |
29 Every city flees at the sound of the horseman and the archer. They enter the thickets and climb among the rocks. Every city is abandoned; no inhabitant is left. | 29 At the sound of horsemen and archers every town takes to flight. Some go into the thickets; some climb up among the rocks. All the towns are deserted; no one lives in them. |
30 And you devastated one, what are you doing that you dress yourself in scarlet, that you adorn yourself with gold jewelry, that you enlarge your eyes with paint? You beautify yourself for nothing. Your lovers reject you; they want to take your life. | 30 What are you doing, O devastated one? Why dress yourself in scarlet and put on jewels of gold? Why shade your eyes with paint? You adorn yourself in vain. Your lovers despise you; they seek your life. |
31 I hear a cry like a woman in labor, [a cry of] anguish like one bearing her first child. The cry of Daughter Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands: Woe is me, for my life is weary because of the murderers! | 31 I hear a cry as of a woman in labor, a groan as of one bearing her first child-- the cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands and saying, "Alas! I am fainting; my life is given over to murderers." |

PSU Football team and volunteer fire company host Make-A-Wish event
By: Lauren Hesnley
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.-- It is THON weekend. Since THON started 42 years ago, thousands of Penn State students have worked together to raise more than $101 million. All of that money is going to the Four Diamonds Fund in the fight against pediatric cancer. And it is not just all about what is going on inside the Bryce Jordan Center student athletes are getting involved, too, as well as the community.
The Penn State football team opened up their locker room for a THON Make-A-Wish event. The football team hosted about 30 Make-A-Wish families. The team took families on a tour of the facilities which ended with an ice cream social.
For us to be able to take what we do as football players and to be able to affect these children's lives and their families it makes our year. We love these kids and it makes our year to make these kids happy, Miles Dieffenbach, Penn State guard said
Players autographed footballs and jerseys for the families.
Even emergency responders in the community are getting in on the THON action. The Alpha Volunteer Fire Company opened up its doors to host Four Diamonds Fund Families. Children got the chance to check out things inside the fire trucks, go for bucket rides, and dress as a firefighter.
I just get great satisfaction, just helping the kids, giving them a little something to look forward to and in fact we have two children who came last year who are returning back to this event this year, Jeff Martin, fire chief with the Alpha Volunteer Fire Company said.
The fire company has 30 active firefighters who are also Penn State students.

Q&A: Nancy Meyers on It's Complicated
I'm under thirty, I'm not married, and I'm not a woman. So when speaking with Nancy Meyers about her new movie, It's Complicated, I felt a bit like an interloper. I had the same feeling when I saw the film at a screening packed with women of a certain age—unlike my neighbors, I didn't audibly moan at the sight of Meryl Streep tilling her perfect, organic vegetable garden, or cracking the feuilletée crust of a freshly baked chocolate croissant, or walking in on a naked Alec Baldwin. (To be fair, in the latter case, neither did they.) In fact, the only bit I could personally relate to was the sequence when the three get too stoned to function. Still, I found the film to be a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. Kind of like a lazy brunch at Le Pain Quotidien. Or like strolling through a Williams Sonoma where, even if you can't afford anything, you can still snack on some of the free hors d'oeuvres from the test kitchen.
Meyers is one of the only female writer-directors to make studio films. She's also one of the few Hollywood screenwriters to follow the write-what-you-know principle. As a result, she's cornered the affluent divorcée market in an industry heavily oriented towards males under 35 and dominated by comic book movies and extraterrestrial adventure. In It's Complicated, our January cover girl—Meryl Streep—plays Jane, a fifty-something mother of three grown-up kids, who, after having given up on love, all of a sudden finds herself sucked into a love triangle between her cocky ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) and the sweet, nerdy architect (Steve Martin) assigned to redesign her kitchen.
Though I wasn't exactly her target audience, Meyers responded congenially, even when I essentially accused her of mongering lifestyle porn. She also touched on the importance of emotional truthfulness, the eternal appeal of Meryl Streep, and the surprise of learning her two male leads would co-host the Oscars.
Julian Sancton: I always thought—or rather hoped—that people got smarter about relationships as they got older, and this movie makes me think that might not be the case.
Nancy Meyers: (Laughs.) What would lead you to believe that? I don't know that what [Meryl Streep's and Alec Baldwin's characters] did was a mistake. Which is why at the end of the movie they both say they don't regret that they did it. I think what it did for them was to finally give some closure to a 30-year relationship. So, I don't look at it that way. The heart is the heart. Things are going to happen. You're going to make mistakes at every age. And it's possible to find your way into a healthier relationship. The whole point of that relationship [between Steve Martin's and Streep's characters] is that he's a different kind of guy. He's not another guy who's going to have enormous issues and problems.
So, Yes, they learn! They're the light at the relationship tunnel, you know?
Your movies recalibrate romantic comedies around a slightly older demographic—why do you think such films are so rare?
Because you tend to see a lot of what exists. I make studio movies, and in studio movies, you tend to get a lot of titles that end with "–man." You know, Superman and Ironman and…
A Single Man, A Serious Man, A Solitary Man.
(Laughs.) There's a lot of "man" movies! I think people in Hollywood feel safer with those movies. Most movies are directed by men. Men generally want to tell stories about men, more so than about a woman close to 60 years old. Nora Ephron and I both directed movies about an older woman this year, and we got the same woman to be in them. That's not to say that my next movie needs to have the woman be so close to my age. In my last movie [The Holiday], the girls were a lot younger.
I think when a woman is writing or directing a movie, some of us will make them about older women, some of us about younger women, but it does seem true that some women—not all women—want to tell stories that reflect some truth in their own lives.
How much of Jane's story was inspired by your own life?
I would say that the heart of the problem is something that I share. I know what it's like to have kids of that age, be close with your family, have your ex-husband live in the neighborhood and married to somebody else. That's something I know a lot about. But the "What if" version [where the ex-spouses reconnect], that is not me. (Laughs.) But that is very fun to write.
I guess you're always wondering what might have happened. And you get to explore that fantasy through your movie.
One of the things that Alec says, about getting back together, is that our problems are actually gone. The things that tore us apart aren't actually problems anymore. A lot of that is true. It's ten years later; these guys broke up when they were in their 40s. They're in a different place. And now that his marriage [to a younger, flat-bellied woman played by Lake Bell] is not working out, I don't blame him for revisiting this woman and wanting her back. It's just not the right thing for either one of them. It's definitely not the right thing for her.
Do you see it as sort of a wish-fulfillment fantasy, like an anti-Big? You know, middle-aged divorcés acting hot and heavy again?
You think only in movies divorced people get back together? (Laughs.)
No, no!
You mean that your wife would take you back after you made a mistake, or that your husband would come and seek you—
I don't know how many people really would wish for that, but I imagine it is something a lot of divorced people have, from time to time, thought about. 'I wonder if we're really done. I wonder, if we got back together, what it would be like. I wonder…' Partly to me, it's fodder for comedy. And partly, there's a truth in it.
I'll tell you this, though. I did do a lot of research before I wrote this. I went to see this psychiatrist in Beverly Hills and I said, 'I don't want to write a movie that a lot of people are going to find untrue—that a man would be interested in his first wife again, after being married to a young girl.' And he looked me straight in the eye and he said, 'I've been in this practice for 40 years. It is something I have heard time and time and time again. Once they get into these marriages, something happens. With these older men and these younger girls, it doesn't always work, and these men say, "Why did I walk away from it?"' And a lot of times, they're still friends with those women. And the women move on from them. Or sometimes they do get back together. But he said, "Don't worry about it. This is absolutely true."
It's more than simply about physical attraction.
Exactly. And you know what? As you get older, you want different things. You want that comfort. That's why they call it comfort food. It's home. He wants to be back in his home.
Comfort, and the comfort of food in particular, plays a big part in your film. I heard gasps of pleasure in the audience at the sight of the croissants being made.
That was fun. That was fun to make them. Yeah, well, it's part of Jane's nurturing and mothering—food is part of her character. She feeds everybody; she takes care of people. She even says this to her psychiatrist: "Is this just my caretaker thing?" It's one of the character traits of this woman. And that's why one of her friends warns her, "Do not try to save him." And then later in the movie, when I've got Alec in the garden, the first thing he says to her is, "Thanks for saving me, Janey."
What would you say to people who think, as I do, that this movie is lifestyle porn, flashing this impossibly lavish lifestyle for people to gasp at in envy?
I'm a fan of that kind of visual detail in a movie, like the Merchant Ivory movies, or The Talented Mr. Ripley. I remember Gwyneth Paltrow and Matt Damon and Jude Law all sitting outside having breakfast in Italy. And it's like, "Oh, where is that? I want to be there!" You know, why did To Catch a Thief take place in the French Riviera? Why didn't it take place in Manhattan? I don't know. This is part of moviemaking, that we transport the audience someplace.
Also it has to be real for me. It has to be a kind of a world that I'm comfortable in. Because I think the character I created would live in a comfortable house like that. The house is almost a twin to the adobe-style house I lived in for 20 years. I didn't have that much property and I didn't have the garage-courtyard thing.
But more important than whether there are nice pillows on the bed is, Does it reflect truth in people's lives? Is it about something? That's what I'm after. Yes, there really is fresh basil cut and put it in a pitcher on her sink. But you know what? We went out in the garden and did it.
Let's talk about the casting. We agree with you and Nora Ephron that there is something about Meryl—we put her on our cover, after all. But why do you think she's having such a moment right now? Why makes her so perennially appealing?
She's so wonderful and I think it's fun for the audience. They know with each movie they're gonna get something else. With so many actors, it's the familiar that you look forward to, and I think with her it's the originality that you look forward to. She let her guard down in this movie and she gave a really fabulous comedic performance, and played off both of these comedy icons as fabulously as you'd want her to. I think the Meryl experience is that she's gonna take you somewhere. And it's going to be something new, and it isn't what you saw her do last year.
And even in my movie—I was thinking about this the other day when I was watching it—I don't know if I've seen her relating so much with girlfriends in her movies. She plays a great girlfriend. She plays a great mom in my movie. She plays a great ex-wife. She's great on a date. She gets stoned. She plays being stoned great.
All three of them do, actually.
They all do, right? She plays being in bed with somebody and having that 'Uh-oh, what the hell have I done?' moment. She plays that great.
She barfs into a drawer pretty well, too.
She throws up into a night table drawer. She plays that great. It's really fun watching her. I think the audience has a great time watching her, I really do.
And finally, what do you make of your two male leads hosting the Oscars? I guess it's not bad publicity for the movie, right?
I couldn't believe it. I heard it about an hour before it was announced, and I said, "You're kidding! Both of them?" I think it's great. I think they'll play off each other very well. They're really different types and. It'll be great for us, I guess, even though it's well after we come out. But it'll be fun.

SPFL: New Scottish league brands unveiled
The Scottish Professional Football League has revealed the names of its league competitions.
The new body was set up following the merger of the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League.
The new top-flight will be called the Scottish Premiership, with the old First Division renamed the Scottish Championship.
Divisions Two and Three will now be known as Scottish League One and Scottish League Two.
"A mountain of work has been done over the summer to get to this point and I believe there is much more that can be done," said SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster.
"The new league set-up reflects very much the recommendations Henry McLeish made in his report for the future of Scottish football.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster"We should see a stronger, more vibrant championship and more vibrant bottom of the table in the Premiership with play-offs now introduced"
"To have clarity on the names of each division and to have a logo that demonstrates the passion, the excitement and the drama of Scottish football, I'm thrilled."
Pressed on the branding's similarity with the English Premier League, Doncaster said: "People are certainly familiar with what it represents and when the names changed in England we saw the Championship being elevated in terms of stature within the game.
"And our sincere hope is that will also be the case here. So many of the changes we've created in terms of redistribution - around £1.5m being re-distributed away from the top division into the second tier; to have play-offs to keep the division alive within the Scottish Championship right the way to the end and so much of the benefit will be about the Championship clubs and ensuring full-time professional football is viable at that level."
Asked about the search for a new sponsor for the league, Doncaster said: "We've only been in existence for three weeks and have the clarity and certainty as to the structure that people would be investing in. We've now got the branding and the names that people can now start associating with the different tiers of football in this country; let's see where we get to.
"With the benefit of four years of clarity and certainty with broadcasters, with Sky Sports and BT, that puts us in a very good place for conversations with partners and sponsors moving forward.
"Today gives us the chance to think about all the positivity that should be ahead and a real, exciting season, I hope at every level of the game. We should see a stronger, more vibrant championship and more vibrant bottom of the table in the Premiership with play-offs now introduced.
"I'm really excited about the future and confident we can look forward to a season ahead where we can concentrate on the football rather than all the off-field matters that have dominated the agenda for so long."

26th July 2013 - 11:06No matter how we dress it up, Scottish football is a very, very, poor product. We are well on our way to part time-football at most clubs and are led by a very select group of people whose only interest is self-preservation. Rangers and Celtic may survive, due to world-wide interest, but in the medium term, the rest are doomed, unfortunately. The qualitys just not there and we can't bring it back.

25th July 2013 - 21:16@440 - m/well fan... I'm a season ticket holder at Celtic and my plan is to go to the AWAY games this season... might see better games ? no offence to Mwell / Ross C / Inverness etc but all we see at CP most of the time are teams shutting up shop... !! That's why I like ( the teams mentioned above ) coming to Celtic - at least they have a go ! God Luck All :)

25th July 2013 - 21:01instead of away games this season, myself and 9 or 10 other m/well fans in our group will be golfing,snookering or down the bookies/pub, had enough of the P being extracted. Hope many others do the same.

25th July 2013 - 20:56Just seen Hibernian's result, a 7-0 thrashing at home versus the giants of Malmo. Ultimately these league reforms are utterly futile, it's only a matter of time before Scottish domestic football will have to pack it in on a professional level.
Feel sorry for the few clubs with a proud history.

While Taste of India's modest mall location may cause some to pass by without a second glance, it belies authentic, flavorful cuisine and courteous service that consistently earn rave reviews from a loyal customer base. The eatery is best known for its lunch buffet, which sustains hungry diners with more than 20 platters of Northern and Southern Indian cuisine separated by a neutral territory of desserts. The full menu offers lamb, chicken, and beef curries, tandoori specials, and refreshing scoops of mango ice cream.
Amid colorful Indian art and handicrafts, the dining room at India House Restaurant fills with the aromas of more than 250 eclectic dishes. Chefs draw on regional cuisines from Delhi to Bombay, fusing flavors with techniques borrowed from street fare and homestyle tandoori cooking. Besides dousing chicken, lamb, and seafood in flavorful sauces, they also craft healthful vegetarian dishes so that those eschewing meat don't have to size up nearby houseplants for their palatability.
Home cooking can be hard to find when home is on an entirely different continent. But the owners of Himalayan Restaurant knew how to bring the flavors of their South Asian home to Chicago. They sought out Chef Bishnu Subedi, who relies on his 12 years of experience as well as his training in a Kathmandu culinary school. Befitting the subcontinent's rich and diverse history, Chef Subedi designs expansive menus, which embrace the Northern Indian, Nepalese, and Asian subcultures that define the region's cuisines.
This cultural fusion is readily apparent in dishes such as the momos: steamed Nepalese-style dumplings that are typically stuffed with minced chicken or vegetables and served by street-food vendors throughout Nepal. Northern Indian flavors completely shine through on certain dishes, including the tandoori chicken, which marinates overnight in spiced yogurt before the chefs quickly barbecue the meat inside a traditional clay tandoor oven. House-made paneer cheese and fluffy naan also evoke the flavors of South Asia; the restaurant further embraces its cultural roots by serving Indian beers and water from melted Nepalese glaciers.
Brothers Devinder Singh and Sital Singh opened Taste of India to share the flavors of the Indian subcontinent with eaters. In the kitchen, chefs use halal meats to prepare chicken, lamb, and beef curries such as chicken tikka masala and beef shahikorma cooked in cream with a spice-and-nut blend. An in-house clay tandoori oven produces specials such as chickan kabobs and paneer tikka—cheese cubes marinated in yogurt sauce and roasted with spices.
Thai and Indian influences act as the epicurean muses for chefs at Zaafaran, where fresh, healthy ingredients compose exotic entrees. The dinner menu invites guests to strap on their tongues' waders and discover seafood-fraught dishes such as the crab singapore, a stir-fried jumble of lump crab steeped in Singapore-style gravy ($20), or the saag tadka curry, where swells of tumeric yogurt and cream surge across sautéed spinach ($9).
Shah Jee's has dished out warming Pakistani food for more than 16 years. Whole-wheat roti flatbread scoops up sauces from chana masala and saag paneer, both of which are vegetarian and seasoned with spice blends from Pakistan. Daal masoor mingles red lentils with garlic, herbs, and spices, and chicken masala highlights halal meat that's been simmered with tomatoes and onions until tender. The chefs also whip up daily specials, many of which are vegan, vegetarian, or prone to blushing when called special.

MILAN A 72-year-old motorcyclist has been released from the hospital after being involved in a fender bender with a car near his home.
Milan resident Harold E. Maines, of 34 Broad St., suffered head, shoulder and leg injuries after the Edison Drive accident, Chief Jim Ward said. North Central EMS transported the patient to Fisher-Titus Medical Center after the collision at 12:38 p.m. Sunday.
The driver of the car, Elaine Sturgill, 53, backed from her 99 Edison Drive driveway when her car barely bumped the wheel of Maines' bike, Ward said. The chief explained that the collision turned the handlebars of the Honda 50 motorcycle, which sustained very minor damage, but was enough to throw Maines from the bike.
"It was one of the small motorcycles," the chief said.
Sturgill was charged with improper backing. Ward spoke to Maines' son who reported his father was home as of Monday morning.

US missile defense deployments in Europe, now the nucleus of a NATO system to protect alliance European territory against emerging missile threats, have long worried Russia: After all, an effective missile defense has the potential to undermine Russia's nuclear retaliatory capability against the United States.
There are two key reasons why the Iranian nuclear problem has been deadlocked for so long: a crisis of confidence and the absence of any feasible proposal that would address the concerns of both sides.
