I am a mother of three who just began staying at home instead of working outside the home. I was a teacher/administrator before this year. I enjoy reading and exercising, and hanging out with my family. If I had a month off from responsibilities, I would spend it on a secluded carribean island.
My favorite dish to cook is my mother-in-law's spaghetti sauce. I am famous for my cinnamon rolls. My favorite restaurant is Granite City.

Hi. We're looking to put up a privacy hedge which will rather long (>150 ft). After doing lots of research, I've narrowed it down to either Podocarpus gracilior I like the look of the Ligustrum the best, but the berries are a pain, and they are also a little invasive. On the other hand, I'm worried that we won't be able to get a nice thick hedge with the Podocarpus. A privacy hedge with holes in it is sort of useless. Any thoughts on which is best and how to plant? Thanks |

How much height do you need for the hedge, what is the width of the bed/growing area, what is the amount of sun and heat the section receives, and by what method do you plan to maintain the size of the hedge? Is the hedge to be against an open fence (see-through, such as chain link) or solid (cinder block/similar), or stand alone? There is no law that states the hedge needs to be all one species of plant; in fact, there are a few landscape rules that might suggest that a row of one plant is often not the best choice. Some depth and illusion can be a powerful element in landscape design. |

Point taken in your second paragraph Gyr_Falcon, but I find mixed hedges often look messy. We want a nice tight wall of green. To answer your questions in the first paragraph: The hedge will be between 7' and 8' The width of the bedding area can be whatever we want, since we are also pulling up the lawn and replacing it with flower beds and a veggie patch. Right now there is 3' between the fenceline and the edge of the lawn. The light situation is full sun all day every day Irrigation will be 12" spacing 1/2" drip hose in a figure-8 pattern Plan to maintain by letting it grow to desired height, then trimming the top with the hope of getting a nice flat top. I'd also like to get a nice flat green front on the street. Currently there is an old rotting white picket fence, which we are going to repair or replace with another, non-rotting white picket fence. It's variable, but it's about 42" high at the highest. I think this will give a nice white frame to the green wall. Anyway, thanks for taking an interest. I look forward to your responses. |
The podocarpus makes a good privacy screen. My neighbors--I think she has her guys shear it twice a year. It has gotten dense pretty quickly. The Ligustrum--sheared as a hedge, it doesn't bloom that much and you don't get a lot of the berries. If you shear it right after it blooms around this time of the year, you can get rid of any developing berries. Ligustrum is going to take a little time to get to 8', but this is a pretty darn tough plant that can live as a great screen for decades. I planted my hedge as 1 gallons about 18 months ago and it's about 6' tall now, though not all that dense yet. I prefer Podocarpus because it is simply a gorgeous plant, one of my favorites for beauty, but either of your choices is going to be a good screen as long as you maintain it well. The Ligustrum would have an initial cheaper price as Podocarpus are more expensive, but initial price is not the major cost of the hedge in the long term--irrigation water and maintenance are. |

Thanks hoovb. That's definitely a nice podocarpus screen, though I think we'd go with a more manicured look once it gets going. Do you have any preferences about the different species? I feel like the macrophallus or macrophallus maki make a better hedge, but mostly what I see around here (SF Valley) is gracillius. I must admit, I love the cleaner look of the Ligustrum and that we can keep the berries to a minimum, but I still worry about it's propensity to get everywhere. Who know this would be such a difficult choice? I've been researching for a month now. |
I researched new trees for the front of the house for three years! Happily my choice is working out fantastically well (so far). Take your time. It is worth it. For the size you stated, if it was my hedge I would do the P. m. maki, simply because the natural size is close to the proposed size of your hedge. I try to work with the DNA of the plant as much as possible, but that one is going to be a little slower than the others. Of course you must already know the classic old choice for screens was Syzygium paniculatum (Eugenia myrtifolia) but the arrival of the Eugenia psyllid changed all that. Here the release of the predatory wasp has made them an option again, but that may not be true in your area. For a smoothly sheared wall of green, you really can't beat it. Mine gets a bit of damage, but looks really good overall. Then there is the 'Green Tower' boxwood which will get 7' fairly quickly, but SFV is pretty hot for that unless it is in shade. Even here close to the coast the ones I have in shade are much prettier--they don't yellow up. I've spent a long time thinking about privacy screens! How I hated looking out my bathroom window only to see my neighbor's bathroom window. How happy I was to find precisely the right plant and see green foliage instead. |
I have three of the plants listed in my garden. It seems to me like the Podocarpus gracilior is more thirsty than the Podocarpus macrophyllus or Ligustrum. I actually love the leaf litter of the gracilior, it is like self mulch and looks nice. |
- Posted by sheckylovejoy USDA 10a Sunset 19 (My Page) on Fri, May 2, 14 at 19:51
One last thing. If I go with the Maki, what sort of spacing should I use? |
- Posted by surfcitysocal none (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 14 at 20:13
I have a very, very large podocarpus gracilior hedge I refer to as Hedgezilla on 3 sides of my backyard that we planted about 15 years ago. While it does provide much-needed privacy...I hate it. It's a bear to maintain. It provides no wildlife benefits. And I hate the fake, man-made monocultural effect it has on the garden. I would love to tear it out, but I think we would suffer shock from the loss of privacy. Instead, I have begun planting a variety of evergreen and deciduous trees in front of it where I have room (and repeating certain ones for continuity) that will provide screening when mature. Some are weeping, some are upright, some are native, etc. and will provide wildlife benefits and provide visual interest. While needing some trimming or lacing out occasionally, these plants won't require the constant, overwhelming maintenance the hedge does. And it's more interesting, in my opinion. Since I'm not a professional designer, I'll read and study, and stare at the hedge to envision what I should do next and where I should put something. Hopefully, when my new plants are bigger, I can gradually get rid of the hedge. It's a work in progress, though. I'm not sure how many feet we have, but it's a lot, and 150 feet of it, I think, might be more than you bargained for. |

US Congress has just been notified of the $1.96 billion sale to Taiwan of 12 surplus Lockheed P-3C Orion maritime-patrol aircraft. It's still classified as a "possible" sale because Congress could say no, but this deal has been in the works a long time…a long, long time.
The US first offered to sell a squadron P-3Cs to Taiwan in 2001 as part of a bigger arms package, but political inflghting in Taipei blocked approval of the special budget for years. The logjam finally broke in June when the Taiwanese legislature approved the Orion purchase.
Taiwan will be the 17th (military) operator of the P-3. It has already checked over the ex-US Navy aircraft in desert storage and picked out the airframes it wants (including three TP-3As for spares). Lockheed Martin will refurbish them to the Navy's current AIP standard, including replacing the wing to restore the full 15,000h fatigue life.
Finally, replacement is in sight for Taiwan's S-2Ts

The Lawbringer: A primer on private servers {WoW}
Jan 29th 2011 1:56AM First of all, Private Servers I'm sure benefit Blizzard more than it harms it.
It's a gigantic trial version of the game, which entices players to go for the real deal.
When you play in a Private server, you get to see a lot of working stuff. Most of the bugs and problems you point out have been corrected. Once a new Expansion goes, emulators get the last one working almost 100%. When Wotlk launched, BC was pretty much wholly scripted. Same for Cata.
That expansion you are set back by playing in a PServer makes you want to pay for the real game. The ones that don't is because they mostly can't.
Most kids in most countries can't pay for the subscription, which are the bulk of PServers, they wouldn't play or even get to know WoW if it wasn't for PServers. Once they grow up and get a job they may subscribe, when they wouldn't otherwise.
And neither of you are mentioning Open Source policies, Freeware, or the many music stars who give their CD's for free to download online.
Paying for a CD/DVD to help the artist is fine for underground artists who pay all themselves, but for big names, the money goes straight to the distributing company, not the artist. Check Coldplay, Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails.
Blizzard makes more money than they could ever spend even if tripling all their employees wage for the rest of their life. It's just that it's business rotted mentality to always increase revenue.
I'm all up for the freenternet mentality of white hats hackers.
Also, the WoW Client you can get for free in Blizzard's ftps. You are buying your account update, nothing else.
The Lawbringer: WoW in China {WoW}
Sep 24th 2010 1:06PM Indeed, that's probably the reason of the censorship.
China and it's authoritarism makes me feel sick everytime they censor stuff.
I never understood video-games, movies or books censorships, of any kind, be it an Anti-Nazi literature or Mein Kampf, as long as the people reading/playing/watching aren't mentally ill or something.
In that case, if it's not a video-game or a book, it's something else, in which case it doesn't make sense to ban everything "just in case".

Great game, and its even greater that it gets a mention in WoW.

Interesting news from Sourcebooks this AM: they're launching an online reading club, "Discover a New Love" for romance fans. For $9.99 per montg for six months (my apologies for the misinformation), members get exclusive discounts off ebooks (up to 40% according to the site), and the books they buy are DRM-free on a trial basis. Plus, each month's membership yields one free ebook from a selection of four.
The inaugural books featured are Mairana by Susanna Kearsley, Enraptured by Elisabeth Naughton, Lady Maggie's Secret Scandal by Grace Burrowes, and One Hot Cowboy Wedding by Carolyn Brown. There are four additional titles in the Discover store, priced from $4.19 to $14.00. Membership is not required to shop in the bookstore, though the free titles and exclusive opportunities are for members only. And, while she hasn't started writing yet, the blog at Discover a New Love will be hosted by Barbara Vey of Beyond her Book. Which is totally awesome in every possible way (Go, Barbara!).
The online book club will include "online parties and chats with authors, and exclusive early releases to members," and, according to the press release, "many of the featured ebooks will be available on a worldwide basis." So no DRM and possibly geographic restriction-free? That is worth a bit of celebrating. CEO Dominique Raccah also threw down the virtual gauntlet to other publishers, saying in the press release and accompanying Wall Street Journal article that "she will make the site available to other publishers, [but] it is unclear whether other houses would allow their titles to be sold without restrictions on book sharing."
Sourcebooks, who published Everything I Know About Love I Learned from Romance Novels, is offering one 6-month subscription for me to giveaway. Woo!
Standard disclaimers apply: I'm not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to anyone worldwide 18 years of age or older, and wearing SCUBA gear. Astronauts in the space station are eligible, but sorry, Mars Rovers are not. Hold all questions until the end. For external use only. Do not use while sleeping or bathing.
So have at it: what Sourcebook romance novel would you like to read as part of the club? I'll select one comment at random on Friday 13 April (sorry, forgot the deadline!), and the winner will receive six months free access to the Discover a New Love online book community.

FedEx Forum
Attendance: 15,936
Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Marreese Speights scored all 22 of his points in the second half and the Sixers tied a franchise record by sinking 14 shots from beyond the arc in a 120-101 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Jason Kapono led the way with a 5-of-7 effort from three-point range as he ended with 15 points. Jodie Meeks sank 4-of-7 from long range for Philadelphia, which rallied from a 10-point deficit to snap a six-game skid.
Andre Iguodala ended with 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Sixers, who went 14-of-26 from three-point range.
"We did a good job of executing the offense, penetrating and kicking," Iguodala said. "We got some open looks."
Mike Conley had 23 points for the Grizzlies, who lost for the seventh time in nine contests. Zach Randolph totaled 19 points and 10 rebounds.
After trailing 58-51 at the half, the Sixers shot the lights out over the final 24 minutes, going 29-of-47. They had just two turnovers in the second half, compared to nine for the Grizzlies.
Darrell Arthur sank a short jumper to give Memphis a 66-61 lead with 7:42 left in the third quarter, but the Sixers used a 15-3 spurt to go in front. Kapono hit a pair of three-pointers and Green capped the burst with another three with 4 1/2 minutes left. Philadelphia widened the margin to 13 later in the period before settling for an 86-78 lead going to the fourth.
Memphis never got closer than eight points in the last quarter, and the Sixers pushed the lead to 112-95 with under six minutes left following a three- pointer from Meeks.
"Those guys have a good transition team," Arthur said. "It was tough guarding them."
The Grizzlies held a 26-21 lead after the opening quarter and pushed that to 38-28 with 9:14 to go in the half following an Arthur jumper.

John DonneJohn Donne (1572-1631) was the most outstanding of the English Metaphysical Poets and a churchman famous for his spellbinding sermons. Donne was born in London to a prominent Roman Catholic family but converted to Anglicanism during the 1590s. At the age of 11 he entered the University of Oxford, where he studied for three years. According to some accounts, he spent the next three years at the University of Cambridge but took no degree at either university. He began the study of law at Lincoln's Inn, London, in 1592, and he seemed destined for a legal or diplomatic career. Donne was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton, Keeper of the Great Seal, in 1598. His secret marriage in 1601 to Egerton's niece, Anne More, resulted in his dismissal from this position and in a brief imprisonment. During the next few years Donne made a meager living as a lawyer. Donne's principal literary accomplishments during this period were Divine Poems (1607) and the prose work Biathanatos (c. 1608, posthumously published 1644), a half-serious extenuation of suicides, in which he argued that suicide is not intrinsically sinful. Donne became a priest of the Anglican Church in 1615 and was appointed royal chaplain later that year. In 1621 he was named dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. He attained eminence as a preacher, delivering sermons that are regarded as the most brilliant and eloquent of his time. Donne's poetry embraces a wide range of secular and religious subjects. He wrote cynical verse about inconstancy, poems about true love, Neoplatonic lyrics on the mystical union of lovers' souls and bodies and brilliant satires and hymns depicting his own spiritual struggles. The two "Anniversaries" - "An Anatomy of the World" (1611) and "Of the Progress of the Soul" (1612)--are elegies for 15-year-old Elizabeth Drury. Whatever the subject, Donne's poems reveal the same characteristics that typified the work of the metaphysical poets: dazzling wordplay, often explicitly sexual; paradox; subtle argumentation; surprising contrasts; intricate psychological analysis; and striking imagery selected from nontraditional areas such as law, physiology, scholastic philosophy, and mathematics. Donne's prose, almost equally metaphysical, ranks at least as high as his poetry. The Sermons, some 160 in all, are especially memorable for their imaginative explications of biblical passages and for their intense explorations of the themes of divine love and of the decay and resurrection of the body. Devotions upon Emergent Occasions (1624) is a powerful series of meditations, expostulations, and prayers in which Donne's serious sickness at the time becomes a microcosm wherein can be observed the stages of the world's spiritual disease. Obsessed with the idea of death, Donne preached what was called his own funeral sermon, "Death's Duel" just a few weeks before he died in London on March 31, 1631. The above biography is copyrighted.

This recipe makes the absolute most of a less than tender, but inexpensive and marrow bone-endowed, cut of meat. Sonrise Ranch is my favorite source for shank.
3 pounds grass-fed beef shank sprinkled with salt & pepper
3 tablespoons tallow, bacon fat, lard or cooking fat of choice
4-5 shallots, thinly sliced
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary, stems removed and minced
1 cup of dry red wine
1 quart homemade beef or chicken stock, heated
creme fraiche
Heat large Dutch oven to medium high and melt 1-2 tablespoons fat in bottom. Brown each beef shank on both sides until golden, taking care not to crowd the pot with too many at once. Set aside on a platter.
Melt another tablespoon fat in bottom of pot and add shallots and rosemary. Continue cooking until fragrant and golden, then set aside and drain fat.
Deglaze hot pan with wine while scraping golden bits off the bottom.
Return shank to pot and top with caramelized shallots/rosemary and increase heat.
Add hot stock 1/3 of the way up the sides of the shank.
Crumple a large piece of parchment (roughly the size of the pot lid) then smooth out on top; this will steam the meat and render it very tender.
Cover with lid and transfer to a 280-300 degree oven for three-four hours. Ideally, you want it falling off the bone.
Remove shanks, shallots & herbs and set aside.
Strain liquid through gravy separator and return stock to the hot pot. Reduce until thick & velvety, then reduce heat and stir in creme fraiche until emulsified.
Meanwhile, roast and puree sweet potatoes. Serve by placing a large scoop of sweet potato puree in the bottom of a bowl, then spoon in meat chunks and pour reduction sauce over everything. Be sure to remove marrow from each shank bone, and either add to pot or place a scoop in each individual bowl.
Garnish with a spoonful of sauerkraut. Warm, satisfying and very comforting.

Brocade and Thales Announce Integration of Thales Encryption Manager for Storage with Brocade Encryption Switching Solutions
Industry's First Standards-Based Encryption Key Management Appliance and Leading Encryption SAN Switching Solutions Deliver Simplified, Cost-Effective Storage Encryption
November 6, 2009 12:00 by Aarti Nagraj
Brocade® (NASDAQ: BRCD) and Thales© today announced the integration of Thales Encryption Manager for Storage (TEMS) with the Brocade encryption SAN switching solutions. The combination of TEMS, the industry's first standards-based encryption key management appliance for storage, and the Brocade encryption SAN switching solutions protect enterprise data and helps organizations meet growing compliance demands. The solution cost-effectively simplifies the storage encryption process by eliminating the need for storage professionals to deploy multiple storage encryption systems and helps ensure safe and reliable data access.
The Brocade Encryption Switch and Brocade FS8-18 Encryption Blade are part of a family of fabric-based encryption platforms that helps organizations meet their security and corporate governance objectives by encrypting critical corporate data with high performance and centralized fabric management. These leading-edge solutions offer an innovative approach to fabric-wide encryption for data-at-rest within the data center. The Brocade encryption SAN switching solutions provide encryption for both disk and tape storage systems.
The Brocade encryption SAN switching solutions are tightly integrated with TEMS, a ready-to-use appliance that consolidates and automates the management of encryption keys for storage systems in a transparent manner — delivering unified, fine-grained, and auditable encryption key security controls. This solution enables organizations to adopt storage encryption with the confidence that their encryption keys are under control and secured in a cost-effective management system.
Brocade and Thales are committed to the development and adoption of open standards. TEMS is the first key manager to support the draft IEEE P1619.3 key management specification. Subsequent releases will also support the recently announced OASIS KMIP key management standard, originally co-authored by Thales.
"Our Hitachi data resilience solution is comprised of industry-leading technologies and services designed to protect and preserve customers' critical business information. It does this wherever the data resides, and as it grows and transforms," said Asim Zaheer, vice president of Corporate and Product Marketing at Hitachi Data Systems. "Standards-based data encryption solutions from Brocade and Thales integrated with Hitachi Data Systems storage systems will help organizations preserve the integrity of their sensitive information. The solutions also enable compliance with corporate and regulatory policies throughout the data's lifecycle."
"Encrypting sensitive information has become a security requirement for organizations across all industries, especially as data breaches continue to make headlines. Establishing standards like IEEE P1619.3 and KMIP is a significant first step toward simplifying encryption key management, but it is up to leading vendors to offer solutions that support these standards," said Jon Oltsik, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Thales and Brocade have taken this important step by integrating TEMS with the Brocade encryption switching solutions, enabling organizations to seamlessly deploy storage encryption without concern over key management requirements such as reliability and data recoverability. This partnership demonstrates the continued momentum of KMIP and other industry standards, and should help accelerate the adoption of encryption for stored information as companies continue to bolster their security initiatives."
The Brocade encryption SAN switching solutions recently received FIPS 140-2 level 3 validation, a standard defined by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and the most widely adopted security benchmark for cryptographic solutions in government and commercial enterprises. Thales Encryption Manager for Storage will undergo evaluation for FIPS 140-2 level 3 certification. These certifications help provide the assurance that the products have been developed in accordance with internationally recognized best practices and demonstrate a continued commitment to developing comprehensive, robust solutions designed to meet the highest levels of security testing.

Nearly 25,000 students of schools of Coimbatore Corporation have been trained by Aram Foundation Charitable Trust
Nearly 25,000 students of schools of Coimbatore Corporation have been trained by Aram Foundation Charitable Trust for five months to enable them face the world with confidence.
The project 'Happy Child' was executed jointly by the Coimbatore Corporation and Aram Foundation in 83 schools.
While on the one hand students were taught to be courteous, neat and tidy, on the other they were also taught to control anger, forgive wrong doers, be helpful to people with disabilities, etc.
The valediction of the project was held at the chamber of Mayor of Coimbatore S.M. Velusamy on Tuesday when 415 students selected from the participating schools received certificates under five categories — 100 per cent attendance, neatness, courtesy, altruism, and overall performance.
According to Latha Sundaram, Managing Trustee of Aram Foundation, the project was implemented in the schools by 450 research scholars drawn from various colleges in the city.
"They were trained on the modules and delivery methods and sent to schools along with representatives of the Foundation to conduct the training. The focus was on developing soft skills, helping them improve relationship with the teacher, educating them about their right to education, defending themselves from abuse, controlling anger, etc," she said.
A psychologist was engaged for providing counselling and guidance to those with behavioural problems.
Students used the helpline provided to them to make several calls when they needed guidance.
At the end of the project, students were asked to evaluate the content by filling up a self-evaluation booklet. The feedback received by the organisers was positive. Also, a survey was made about the impact.
Heads of institutions, teachers and elders associated with the students responded, and it was found that 92 per cent respondents had said that there was a visible change in the behaviour of the students.
The Foundation hopes to carry forward the project as another phase in the next academic year.

He was due to embark on a three-year architecture course as part of a scholarship from Westminster College.


text: ''Magic Kaito'' is a four-volume (currently) manga series starring Kaito Kuroba, an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent. He has a pretty sweet life: a small but nice house, a loving mother, and a childhood friend in Aoko Nakamori, whose father just happens to be a respected Inspector at Ekoda's Division Three. He's also incredibly smart, athletic and has fast fingers. Everything's perfectly fine, until one day when he finds out about a recent resurgence by a local villain, a mysterious PhantomThief clothed in white and famous for his signature [[BadassCape cape]], [[NiceHat hat]] and [[HighClassGlass monocle]] who specializes in using stage magic and street magic to steal his targets. Feeling challenged (since all {{Shounen}} characters must inevitably have some form of ego in order to advance the plot), he decides to find out all he can about the man.That's when he stumbles upon the secret room in his house filled with props and innumerable pieces of junk. And also a white tux, a cape, a top hat and a monocle. Alarmed by the discovery of a veritable Bat Cave in his own home, young Kaito suits up as best he can and heads out to ask some questions. Turns out that the guy currently running around is not only an old friend of the family, but Kaito's dead father was the original PhantomThief - until one day he was brutally killed in an 'accidental' explosion on stage. The old friend of the family, Jii, is under the impression something incredibly funny happened, and not anything particularly ha-ha funny either.Well, turns out he's right, and now the only way to find out what happened is to lure the killers out into the open the only way Kaito knows how: by taking up his father's mantle and becoming the new PhantomThief.His new name? Kaitou Kid.Sound familiar? It should. The Kaitou Kid also happens to be one of the most popular characters of ''DetectiveConan'' - the infinitely more famous detective show by the same mangaka, Gosho Aoyama. The two series are set in the same 'verse, and since Magic Kaito volumes stopped being produced, you can thank CanonWelding for his continuing existence and that of his peers. At first, ''Magic Kaito'' is very much a formulaic comedy - Kaito notices something shiny, attempts to steal it, and Inspector Nakamori attempts to stop him (most likely failing) - but, just like its better-known successor, the series quite promptly catches CerebusSyndrome, although this series somehow manages it sometimes during its second volume, which is probably some kind of record. Well, yeah, it's still very formulaic afterwards; but the fact that Kaito has a purpose after that point becomes a major part of his motivation. The series is pretty notable, not only for its contribution to the ''Detective Conan'' universe, but also for featuring a lot of arcane magic which, sitting next to ''Conan'', would likely [[HowUnscientific render most of its logic moot]]. (Then again, it ''is'' a manga about one of the more chaotic characters of anime and manga. There's no time for logic when you can manipulate time and space.)----!!This manga provides examples of:* AbnormalAmmo: Kaito's gun shoots ''[[DeathDealer cards]]''. Of all the things...* AIIsACrapshoot: Robo-Kaito.* ArtEvolution: This manga's early artwork can be very jarring if you've dropped by from reading any volume of DetectiveConan, or even from the Shounen Sunday specials.** Indeed. The first and second volumes of the series show Gosho's style was much more cartoonier and, in some ways, sloppier: lanky bodies, thinly inked lines, and [[MangaEffects abuse of screentones]]. His style got more proportioned, refined and cleaner as time went on. * BelligerentSexualTension: Kaito and Aoko play this to a T.* BettyAndVeronica: Or something like that. For Aoko, she could pick either Kaito or Hakuba, [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend although everybody knows how this one goes in Gosho's work.]] However, both can be pretty arsy.* BlackMagicianGirl: Akako Koizumi is, admittedly, a CuteWitch.* BruceWayneHeldHostage: In one chapter Kaito is kidnapped by a clueless MadScientist who then unleashes Robo-Kaito on the world while keeping Kaito tied up. MadScientist gets mad and confused when Robo-Kaito runs off to play Kid at night. When Kaito finally escapes, explosions and FridgeBrilliance ensues.* ButNotTooForeign: Hakuba might seem like a pompous Brit (and is even introduced with the Union Flag), but he's only half-English. This is pointed out during his first appearance when, despite being one of the most well known [[GreatDetective detectives]] in England, he's also shown to be the son of the highest-ranking police officer in Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolitan's Superintendent General).* CallingCard: Kaito always sends a letter ahead to let the police know what he's going after in the form of a riddle. If nothing else it means that he finds out quickly when someone is planning on framing him for something, and can take steps to properly humiliate them.* TheCameo: Not so much in the manga, [[Manga/DetectiveConan Conan]] showed up in a lot of the first adaptation into anime specials, which results in a mean ContinuitySnarl if you think about it too much.* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Kaito and Aoko.* ClockKing: Saguru Hakuba, who uses his freakishly accurate pocket watch to keep track of time down to the hundredths of a second and knows just how late Kid will be to any given heist...and well, apparently Kid picked this up to a certain extent while fighting Conan.* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Kaito might be the desperado, but he's still the one that wears white.* ColorfulThemeNaming: It's Gosho Aoyama, it exists. Everyone's name is related to a color: Kaito '''Kuro'''ba, '''Ao'''ko Nakamori, '''Gin'''zo Nakamori, '''Aka'''ko Koizumi, Saguru '''Haku'''ba, and even Keiko '''Momo'''i.* CrazyPrepared: In chapter 31 [[spoiler:Kaito is mentioned to have multiple plans in place for his current heist, all lettered. He also knocked out a random police officer and disguised as him, then disguised as ''himself'' on top of the police officer disguise, just in case. Heck, he crazy glued the officer disguise in place in case Nakamori pinched him. It came in handy.]]* DatingCatwoman* DirtyCop: [[spoiler:Nightmare, aka Jack Connery, ICPO.]]* EurekaMoment: In one chapter, Kaito figures out how a street magician got a parliamentary pin after a kidnapper claiming to be the Kaitou Kid took the Japanese Prime Minister, when Aoko tells him the key to beating the boss of their video game is to defeat the king controlling him first.* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Partly due to Kaito [[IdiotBall kicking it while it was asleep.]]* EvilOverlordList: Kaito's read it. Snake most certainly hasn't.* {{Flanderization}}: Fanfiction loves this for Hakuba. See Ho Yay.* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Variation, in that Kaito dresses as his alter ego, Kaitou Kid, for a skiing/costume contest (MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext)* GravityIsAHarshMistress: During the Angel Crown heist date chapter/special.* GreenRocks: Pandora, the stone Kaito is looking for, is a mystical gemstone that bequeaths immortality to whoever holds it underneath a certain comet.* IfICantHaveYou: Akako figures that, if she wants to control all men on the planet, she might as well kill off the one who she can't control.* ImpossibleThief: Some of the stuff Kaito manages to pull off are pretty nuts.* ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick: Most of Kaito's tricks simply aren't possible with real-life stage magic. * LatexPerfection: Kaito, when he has a mind to do it. Often though he doesn't bother, leading to a time where Inspector Nakamori saw his face, forcing Kaito to disguise as Aoko and taunt the Inspector with the lie that he regularly disguises as someone from his life.* MacGuffin: See Green Rocks. Also, any piece of artwork Kaito is aiming to steal will usually become one, considering said object will little have any effect on the plot (except that one time the [=MacGuffin=] was a statue).* TheMeanBrit: As Hakuba is pretty much a [[BritishStuffiness straight guy]], Kaito may lean toward labeling him this way -- though Hakuba is [[ButNotTooForeign half-Japanese]].* NotHimself: Inspector Nakamori. [[SarcasmMode Thanks a lot]], [[IfICantHaveYou Akako]].* PairTheSpares: Hakuba/Akako is a preferred pairing with Kaito/Aoko fans.* PantyShot: Played with. Upon seeing Aoko's panties, Kaito is scared because her panties have fish pattern. Aoko is then all too eager to show her panties.* PhantomThief: Kaitou Kid's profession.* RevolversAreJustBetter: Kaito's card gun is a revolver. His enemies have sniper rifles. Then again, they're specifically trying to shoot him out of the sky.* RuleOfCool: Most of early Magic Kaito can be summed up as "Why is there a pirate submarine/mad robot/[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes fish]]/dark sorceress intent on stealing Kaito's heart? ''Because there can be''."* SecretIdentity: Only Kaito and Jii are meant to know that Kaito's the Kid.* StageMagician: Kaito's father was one and Kaito is pretty much practicing to become one.* SuitUpOfDestiny: He has a very unique suit (for a PhantomThief at least) so of course this trope's going to be somewhere.* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Inspector Nakamori very much so. To a point Hakuba, but with less ButtMonkey and more near-successes.* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: Kid in early Magic Kaito chapters frequently uses various types of rocket-powered vehicles, be they skates or devices that can ride down the side of a building. And then of course there's the hang glider cape...* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Kaito is afraid of fish. It especially becomes a problem when he has to rescue Aoko from a sunken pirate submarine (don't ask).* YouKilledMyFather: Kaito's main motivation against the bad guys is to get them back for murdering his father onstage and playing it up as an accident.----

An app that finds a parking space
Comment on this storyLondon - Sensors alerting motorists to empty parking spaces are being installed in British streets for the first time.
The small sensors, embedded in the asphalt of each parking bay, can tell whether a car is present, absent or has over-stayed its allotted time.
The data will be collected centrally and sent via smartphone or tablet apps to drivers, who will be able to pay for the space via their mobile.
There are also plans for the alerts to be sent to parking wardens.
The system is in use in San Francisco but the British trial is believed to be the first in Europe. It is being piloted in central London by Westminster Council on 135 bays over four streets.
The council, which charges up to £4.40 (about R50) an hour for on-street parking, said: "It will reduce congestion and minimise the need for motorists to endlessly trawl the streets searching for somewhere to park." - Daily Mail

The UGA Symphony Orchestra is one of, if not the, premier large ensembles in the Hugh Hodgson School of Music. Our student-comprised symphony orchestra, conducted by professor Mark Cedel, can stand with any university-level orchestra in the nation. And many beyond it.
This week, the UGA SO will feature five soloists from the school of music, winners of the concerto competition in the Hodgson School:
Five of the Hugh Hodgson School of Music's most talented young musicians will join the UGA Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday, January 28 as soloists in the ensemble's annual Concerto Concert. Tickets for the performance, which begins at 8 p.m. in Hodgson Hall, are $10/$5 for students and available via the UGA Performing Arts Center box office at 706/542-4400 or online at pac.uga.edu.
"This will be one of the most exciting events in my 21-year history here at UGA," said Mark Cedel, Director of Orchestral Activities. "The repertoire is fantastic, and makes for an extremely challenging—and rewarding—concert for the orchestra, soloists, and conductors."
The students were selected after advancing through a rigorous competition process within the Hodgson School. The performance will feature flutist Amelia Dicks on Nielsen's Flute Concerto (Mvmt. I); a performance of Shostakovich's Violin Concerto (Mvmt. IV) with violinist Teresa Grynia; saxophonist Brandon Quarles on Tomasi'sSaxophone Concerto (Mvmts. I & II); pianist Yoonsook Song on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 (Mvmt. III); and a performance of Rapsodie on a Theme of Paganini by pianist Grace Tian.
Not to be missed - some of our very best student performers on stage. And when Cedel speaks so excitedly about a program, well, tickets!

Spoken word paired visual art holds great possibiltiy for fun, exploration and reflection. By mixing media and art forms, we can access new creative space in the minds of veiwers and artists. And what better place to access new creative space than the Dodd:
The Lamar Dodd School of Art will hold an Art Party Jan. 30 from 6-8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of four concurrent exhibitions. The event will also celebrate The Georgia Review's winter issue with a series of roving pop-up readings and micro-performances.
Jenny Gropp, managing editor of the Review, and local prose and poetry writer Sabrina Orah Mark will read from their work, and Historic Sunsets, an experimental French dream-pop duo fronted by Thibault Raoult, will play music. Copies of The Georgia Review will be available, and Wildfood Catering will provide light refreshments. The event is free and open to the public.
The evening will feature an exhibition by the art school's visual artist-in-residence Mequitta Ahuja, whose portfolio of richly textural self-portraits "Automythography" appears in the Review's latest issue. Ahuja, who holds a master's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and lives and works in Baltimore, will be present at the opening. Her paintings have appeared in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Lawndale Art Center in Houston, Arthouse in Austin, Galerie Nathalie Obadia in Paris and the Thierry Goldberg Gallery in New York. Ahuja has also shown work at the Bakersfield Museum of Art in California, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and the Studio Museum in Harlem, among others.
Don't miss what sounds like a fun night - and a celebration of this cross-unit collaboration. Congratulations to the faculty and staff who envsioned and arranged this. Our arts community continues to flourish and grow.

The amount of dissolved carbon in the world's oceans is roughly equivalent, and likely greater, than atmospheric concentrations of CO2. Some of it gets semi-permanently sequestered, some gets released up into the atmospheric in a process that has been in place for millions of years. But with the global carbon picture changing, understanding the details of these processes has become more urgent: the slightest changes in ocean temperature or acidification (not hypothetical: we know these conditions are in flux) could usher in major changes in the relationship between the carbon in the atmosphere and in the ocean. Recently published research by UGA marine scientists reveals some important components in the marine carbon cycle:
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in December, describes the cryptic currency of carbon cycling with new details on microbial food web processes.
Though atmospheric carbon receives the lion's share of attention from climate scientists, an equal if not greater amount of carbon exists in surface ocean water. Pooled as organic matter that both removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when it is formed and transfers it back when it's degraded, the mechanisms behind what happens to this carbon in the surface ocean have been poorly understood.
"Our paper shows that we may not be looking at the right compounds, or at least all of the right ones, when we work to understand how organic material is processed in the marine carbon cycle," said study co-author Mary Ann Moran, a Distinguished Research Professor in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences department of marine sciences.
"We found two compounds that had not been considered before, yet may be among the most important compounds being transferred from phytoplankton to dissolved organic matter, then recycled by bacteria."
Read the whole thing, but especially between the lines. As with any subject, a great deal of study is required just to be aware of leading-edge developments. I speak with scientists frequently, from a range of various fields, and [at least] one thing is becoming clear: scientific research is fast approaching a series of 'hyperspace' moments, where advances in particular fields, coupled with advances in technology and especially data management, will begin to allow significant cognitive leaps in our understanding of the physical world, including the human body and cosmology. To consider another recent example, the discovery of the mass of the Higgs boson at CERN LHC. It was a truly stunning feat, and these advances will continue to work in concert and build on each other, along with expanding data capabilities, to produce a clearer picture of our world - and hopefully provide new and better guidelines on how we might manage it better. And we need all the help we can get.
In a major step forward in confirming once and for all that the arts and sciences do matter - and how! - the Franklin Chronicles - Arts and Sciences Matters - presents its newest iteration.
In fact, an entire suite of newly designed Franklin College sites were launched on Friday, January 16. Just look at all those new pages, now with better organization, easier-to-find information for all of our audiences. All to serve you better.
Enormous thanks are due our web services team, especially Stephanie Sharp, senior IT manager for the College. Anyone who has ever been even tangentially involved in a website re-design knows how much goes into it - from information architecture, to functionality to making it all look pretty. Amazing job - Franklin has the best people, and we are humbled by their amazing work every single day but especially on one that involves the launch of so many new sites.
Bravi. And thank you.

'I'm in the middle of the river'
One of the early 911 calls came from Brian Sturgill, 26, who had just flown into Minneapolis from San Diego 90 minutes earlier on a business trip. Hoping to go to the Twins game, he was trying to find a hotel and was driving over the bridge in his rented Chevy Impala, admiring the Cadillac in the lane next to him, when he felt the bridge shake.
The road broke in front of him and the car fell, its back half smacking into the water. Terrified, Sturgill tried to open the driver's door, but it was jammed shut. Part of the windshield was shattered and he tried to kick out the rest of the glass. But with only old flip-flops on his feet, the glass didn't break. The window in the passenger door wouldn't break either.
The car shifted. Sturgill tried the driver's door again, and it opened. He waded into several feet of water and walked up onto a slab of concrete in the middle of the river, stripping off his polo shirt in case he had to swim.
The Cadillac was on a piece of concrete 15 feet across the water. The driver climbed out, covered with blood and oil. Sturgill grabbed a piece of splintered two-by-four and pushed it over to him, telling him to come over.
Sturgill's back ached. His hands were scraped and bleeding.
That's when he called 911. It was just before 6:12 p.m.
Operator: Minneapolis 911.
Sturgill: Yes, I was on the bridge. It just collapsed.
Operator: OK, are you hurt?
Sturgill: Not bad. I'm in the middle of the river though.
Operator: You're in the middle of the river, are you in a car?
Sturgill: Yeah -- no, I'm out of the car.
Operator: Are you floating in the river then?
Sturgill: No, I'm on like a little island part in the middle. There's a lot of people here too. And I think there could be people trapped in cars is what I'm really worried about.
Operator: Yeah, we have help on the way. Have they gotten there yet?
Sturgill: I haven't seen anyone yet.
Operator: OK, because help is on the way. We have firetrucks, the police, the ambulance. I will let them know. How ... many people are on the island with you?

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
What do you think of this? Any Advice?
Hi everyone,
I am in the middle of creating a logo for a company and so far I have come up with this. I have created this font myself just for the logo, so what do you think? I am really struggling to resolve the "Clothing Co." part. Can anyone suggest a font?. All comments are welcome.
Thanks Heaps!!!!

I have created this font myself just for the logo
Looks more like you customized Kaufmann.
It has been based on a font yes....but not that font. Cheers
Does anyone else have some advice?
I'd say you ruined some of the curves from the original font. But other than that it seems simple and straight-forward enough. What kind of clothing?
But it is nice that you've connected the S and the n.
very good point there...how could this be fixed
Omg thats weird, it looks like the same font I used except it had a different name. I have posted a new pic of the "g" also so its not mistaken for a "q". Its male clothing. Thanks heaps for your help.
"how could this be fixed"
Consult a lettering artist or someone who specializes in scripts to fix the hiccups.
does anyone think that the text "Clothing Co" goes well with snag? Anyone have any ideas what font would look good with the "Snag"?
Why are there no drop shadows in the counters?
Nick Cooke
I agree with Miss Tiffany, you should leave those curves as they were. Also that "g" looks weird.
What kind of clothing is this for ?
There must be some way out of here...
I too would drop the shadow,
lighten the strokes slightly to moderately,
in so doing, get more space between letters,
close up the top 'bowl' of the "a" so it is similar-to but not identical-to the "g",
or, if this does not make immediate sense, do as Michael said.

Not all of Francis's critics sound like a McCarthyite version of Foghorn Leghorn. But this refrain is common: the pope is beyond his competence in matters of science and public policy, at least where the environment is concerned.
Sabbath piety and sabbath politics
Christian interest in the sabbath has focused on the family, the home, and the church. Our culture's assault on leisure, however, extends beyond Sunday.
The most troubling electoral result of the year, as far as I'm concerned, was the Scottish vote on independence. Not the referendum's failure itself—few people outside the UK had much of a stake in that either way—but the fact that elite opinion elsewhere seemed relatively unshaken by the implications when 45 percent of Scots voted to dissolve the United Kingdom.
America is extraordinarily tolerant of the NFL. "Pro football, it seems, can do anything but drive us away," wrote the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rosenthal in August. He described moves the NFL has made that would ruin another business: undercut your partners, maintain a nonprofit status while paying huge executive salaries, accept unnecessary public subsidies, stay out of Los Angeles so your teams can use the prospect of moving there as leverage to keep demanding those subsidies.
And this: alienate women, who make up 45 percent of the NFL's viewership.
"Why is the world silent while Christians are being slaughtered in the Middle East and Africa?" asks Ronald S. Lauder. The World Jewish Congress president frames the question in a larger paint-by-numbers argument defending Israel's assault on Gaza and criticizing the moral instincts of "beautiful celebrities," reporters, and the U.N. who have not responded adequately to the brutality of Boko Haram and ISIS.
An argument like Lauder's is liable to predictable demands for greater American military involvement in the region. But the silence he names is real.
"We live in a time of exile. At least those of us do who hold to traditional Christian beliefs."
So says Carl Trueman at First Things, making the case that the Reformed tradition will weather the "exile to cultural irrelevance" imposed by secularism and the sexual revolution better than other Christian traditions. This provocative premise touched off an online symposium on the question of which tradition is best equipped to endure this condition of exile.
Five Years in the Middle East
Nathan Deuel shows us things few readers will have seen or guessed at. His stories take us places that are familiar yet unknown.
What will marijuana policy reform look like?
Twenty-two states now have legal cannabis markets of some form. Regulations are being made up on the fly, with consequences not yet known.
A pastor's habit of reverence
Ritual actions can linger, even as belief fades in and out. If there is indeed a renewal of high-liturgical worship, I would guess that this is why.
The swift and unexpected political demise of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) at the hands of his own party's primary electorate last night has already called forth endless analysis. Beaten by an economics professor who ran on a shoestring and whose major source of institutional support came from talk radio hosts, Cantor has been charged variously with focusing too much on preparing to be the next House speaker, with running an ineffective campaign that spent no money on voter contact but $200,000 on steakhouses, with being too soft on immigrants (Cantor proposed a path to legal status for immigrants brought into the country illegally as children), and with being too negative and unfair in his campaign ads. There is even speculation that Cantor was defeated by Democrats voting in Virginia's open primary.
Whatever the mix of factors, the primary defeat of a House majority leader—something that has apparently never happened in the 115-year history of that office—indicates a politician, and a party, caught sleeping by a restless electorate.
A conversation with a sex worker advocate
In 2011, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott labeled the Super Bowl "the single largest human trafficking incident in the United States." Since then, an annual flurry of media stories suggest a strong link between the national sporting extravaganza and an increase in forced prostitution. Responses to this perceived increase include awareness campaigns and heightened enforcement.
The debate over prostitution
There's a growing consensus that we should stop treating people who sell sex as criminals. But that's about where the consensus ends.
Lincoln turned toward the philosophical case for abolition for the same reason Roosevelt turned toward the Four Freedoms: because so much death could not be allowed to leave the world untransfigured.
My civil religion vacation
Battery Park's carnival atmosphere was just what my family was looking for. We needed to be somewhere with fresh, crass air—far from our parsonage home.
A few friendly pointers
So you've decided to make your way in life by bilking ministers. How can you increase your odds of walking away with some cash?
Luke 10:38–42
My grandmother died in 2005, on the eve of the feast of Saints Mary and Martha of Bethany. The next day I went to the weekday eucharist at St. James Cathedral in Chicago, and the story of Martha and her sister brought me instantly to tears. Like so many women of her generation (and not only hers), my grandmother was deeply identified with her hospitality and service. She was a lot like Martha, and I loved her for it.
I am more troubled now than I was then at the way this story is gendered in our reading.
Amos 8:1–12; Colossians 1:15–28; Luke 10:38–42
On a busy day recently I pulled into a gas station and filled up my car's gasoline tank. As I stood next to the car, I noticed that metallic stickers on the gas pump verified that the state department of weights and measures had tested the gasoline and approved its sale.
Amos 7:7–17
Amos is a difficult prophet to preach because he is so little interested in the possibility that the fate of the people may improve if they return to God. Yet the encounter between the prophet and Amaziah the priest in today's lesson is thrilling, even cinematic.
Amos 7:7–17; Colossians 1:1–14; Luke 10:25–37
When I was in high school I was fascinated with the field of evolutionary psychology. With the help of authors like Robert Wright and Richard Dawkins, I believed that I could see through the veil of what we humans do and what we say about what we do and then discover what was at the heart of our motivation.
Pulling the beam from one's eye is not an afternoon's task. It takes a whole life of faith—and Alan Chambers's faithful words offer an honest example.

New bermuda sod was put down on our new-construction lot in the Dallas area around the first week of last October. I kept it watered and put down a 15-5-10 fertilizer before winter dormancy set in. I applied a Lesco 0-0-7 pre-emergent in March, right before green-up started. I plan on putting down Lesco 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 here in a week or so and following the Bermuda Bible schedule thereafter. The problem is that my lawn lacks any thickness whatsoever.... it's just flat, with some dandelions and other weeds typical of new, unestablished lawns. It is beginning to green up, but I'm having a hard time understanding if there's more that I should do at this point. Should I just be patient since the roots really didn't have a chance to mature before dormancy set in last Fall? I'd like to give it the best possible chance for success before the Summer months arrive. |

There is a difference between green up and growth. I'm seeing growth in George West but only patchy growth in San Antonio. The initial hint of greening was several weeks ago, but things are finally moving now. This has been the longest fall-winter-spring I can remember in South Texas. So yes, patience. |
