That is awful. But, "aerial chemical attacks"??? I must be dense; forgive my senior moment, tnangela. |
I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved camellia. It is like loosing a dear friend, I am sure. But what are aerial chemical attacks? Where do you live? Isn't this also dangerous to people and animals? I hope you are able to replace your plant with another just as lovely. |
My city sprays due to west nile virus "season" when dead birds killed by the virus are detected. Is this the type of problem you are referring? |
To be perfectly honest I have not recieved a straight answer from my government officials as to what these aerial chemical attacks consist of, nor are they willing to give msds (material safety data sheets) on what is being sprayed after being asked. I am of the opinion this is the phenomenon commonly called "chemtrails" on the internet. |
Who is it that is doing the spraying? And what is their target? |
Can you show the damage to a newspaper reporter and ask them to ask on your behalf? Also, I would send a sample of the plant to the Agriculture Extension Office for analysis (just in case something else is going on). Maybe they can state what killed the plant. |
I reported aerial spraying last wednesday on 'chemtrailtracking' yahoo group. message #149973 I also reported that by friday everyone would be sick. http://www.volunteertv.com/news/headlines/30271084.html UPDATE 10/03/08 5:35 p.m.: KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Is it carbon monoxide poisoning, that so-called "bug" going around, or something else that made more than three dozen West Valley Middle school students sick Friday while they along with more than 300 of their classmates were on a Civil War reenactment field trip in Corryton? From uniforms to gun emplacements, reenactors have been trying to recreate every aspect of the Battle of Fort Sanders. Fifth grader Kahli Hardin says, "They were showing what doctors would do during the battles if someone got shot, and there was a little boy laying down, and there was a whole bunch of people around him. But it was not part of the act. Parent and chaperone Rocky McClamrock says, "A rescue squad coming up to attend to him." Kahli says, "So people trying to, like, help it and fix it, but, like, it wasn't working." McClamrock says, "And then we saw another one on the ground, and then another one on the ground." Larry Wilder with Rural Metro says, "All from the same school, West Valley Middle School." McClamrock says, "We had heard that six kids had possibly fainted, and one had had a seizure." The Knoxville Volunteer Rescue Squad and Rural Metro declared an emergency. Wilder says, "You'd think nausea and vomiting could be attributable to carbon monoxide poisoning." But Wilder says gas analyzers showed no school buses with dangerous carbon monoxide levels. Given the questions and common ties, first responders knew they'd have to separate the West Valley students from everybody else -- in effect, a battlefield quarantine. . Ambulances or parents took more than three dozen students to four Knoxville hospitals. And buses took more than 300 back to West Valley Middle early. Knox County Schools Spokesman Russ Oaks says, "The Health Department indicated to us that they don't feel there's any need to hold these students, or do any further follow-up. They're not exhibiting any symptoms." One hospital spokesperson says all but one student will be sent home after being checked and treated at Children's Hosptial. Wilder says, "We don't know if it would be a food-borne illness or just general illness." Kahli says, "They were gonna do a reenactment of the battle, but they didn't because of all the kids who got sick." Oaks says, "At this point, we don't have anyone who appears to be in any life threatening conditions." Wilder says some students had abnormal blood pressure on the scene, and their blood oxygen levels weren't right. He says he's also heard some students may have stood next to a bus with its motor running as they assembled for touring the re-enactment. Some were wearing freshly dyed T-shirts, and the site also requires you walk a bit. All of those things might be factors, but no definite cause has been pinpointed so far. ----- UPDATE 10/03/08 4:05 p.m.: KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The number of West Valley Middle School students taken to hospitals during a Civil War reenactment field trip in Corryton Friday has risen to well over three dozen, and at least one student has been admitted to the hospital, according to sources. Twenty-eight students were taken to East Tennessee Children's Hospital in Fort Sanders. One of those students has been admitted to the hospital, the other 27 have been released. Eight other students were taken to Park West Hospital. Knox County Schools spokesman Russ Oaks says there were about 350 students on the field trip, and all of them received new T-shirts provided by the Parent Teacher Association. Oaks says that's an angle that the Knox County Health Department will surely explore as potentially being related to the illness. Knox County Health Department spokeswoman Ranee Randby confirms that Health Department officials are considering, but she says, as the investigation progresses, it's looking less and less likely that the T-shirts are the source of the illness. Randby says all of the children brought their own bagged lunch, so it's unlikely that the illness came from their food. Randby says in addition to Children's Hospital and Park West, students have also been walking into other hospitals, including St. Mary's and Baptist West. The Knox County Health Department has initiated a "full-blown investigation," So far, there's no word on what caused the sudden illness of the students. CORRYTON, Tenn (WVLT) -- Thirty-one West Valley Middle School students have been or are being transported to East Tennessee hospitals after falling ill on a field trip in East Knox County. A spokesperson for East Tennessee Children's Hospital confirms that 26 of the eighth grade students were taken there for treatment of respiratory illnesses. Some have already been discharged. Parkwest Medical Center was expecting the five other students. Rural Metro spokesperson Billy Kear confirms the students are experiencing symptoms consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning, but Kear says it's still too early to pinpoint an exact cause for the illnesses. The students were on a field trip to the Battle of Fort Sanders, a Civil War re-enactment being held on Washington Pike near Corryton Kear says all the buses that transported students to the field trip have been tested for carbon monoxide emissions and the tests came back negative. Kear says the remaining West Valley Middle School students were loaded on a bus and returned to West Valley. While en route to the school, more students became ill and Rural-Metro paramedics transfered a few students to St. Mary's Medical Center. Kear says the students are suffering from dizziness, light-headedness, and one student was reported to be unconscious. Kear says he has unconfirmed reports that several students became sick at the school with similar symptoms on Wednesday. Knox County Schools spokesman Russ Oaks says the Knox County Health Department is looking into the incident. Wednesday, nearly 40 students and a half-dozen adults returned from an overnight trip to Camp Wesley Woods after falling ill Tuesday evening. Oaks says there's no information at this time to suggest that the two incidents are related.

tnangela, this sounds serious! You have samples of whatever may be causing the problem on the surface water of the pails in your yard. I just did a search for "chemical testing labs + knoxville, tn." and find that there are two located in your city; BCN Research Labratories and Ames Corp. Here is what you should do. Submerge several glass jars and their tops into cold water in a pan and bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Remove from water with tongs which you have also boiled the ends of and allow all to cool. Then, handling only the outside of the sterile jars, scoop out the oily water in your outside pails and quickly seal with the sterile tops. Take these to one of the labs, explain the situation and hopefully they will test them free of charge as a community service. Once they have an analysis the testing company should know who to contact and how to proceed from there. You may have the needed 'evidence' necessary to solve the problem. |
What a shame! The Blue Ridge mountain region is so pristine. |
Hun, it's called hysteria. You should have seen the "sick" kids at a local middle school when a carbon monoxide alarm went off. Turns out it was a false alarm--the equipment got damaged--but dozens of kids worked themselves into fits and insisted on being seen by EMTs or taken to the hospital--not a few of them encouraged by hypochondriac parents. As for "chem trails"--sorry, that's CONtrails (consisting of CONDENSED WATER) and clouds. You're imagining things and working yourself into a level of hysteria that's quite equal to that of the 11-year-olds. It's pretty silly to think that these mysterious chemicals are making you vaguely "sick" and also targeting your bushes because of some nefarious Plan that the government knows all about. Silly, or disturbed thinking. Stay off the conspiracy boards, and if that doesn't help, see a professional. |

TPI-certified golf-fitness instructor Angie Ause tailors 60-minute private tutorials to each pupil's skills and golf goals. After students display current swing mechanics with their own clubs or a set supplied by Angie, V1 video analyses provide a visual breakdown of the day's lesson, aid apprentices in studying their techniques, and showcase any post-swing pirouettes missed by the naked eye. Participants with six sessions under their belt qualify for a TPI evaluation, which improves swing and strength by combining a physical assessment, an HD-video playback of the session, and 18 individualized video workouts that improve swing imbalances.
Former NFL quarterback and current Hill-Murray head football coach Brooks Bollinger molds blossoming gridiron players into bona fide ballers during an intensive four-day instructional camp. Alongside a team of fellow coaches and special guests, Bollinger and his staff focus on football fundamentals, with crash courses in offense, defense, and special teams. Skill-specific drills will prepare athletic students for a range of in-game scenarios and introductions to rules and terminology such as "in motion" and "run the other way" emphasize gamely discipline. Basic leadership and sportsmanship customs are stressed throughout the camp, and each aspiring Howie Long is rewarded with a T-shirt and a newfound respect for the dynamics of physics.
The Dog House's endlessly edible bill of eats accumulates a satisfying variety of burgers, dogs, sammies, fish, and fried chicken. Settle disagreeable hunger grievances with the justice of comfort foods such as the pulled-pork sammie ($7), then follow its order to pick up a hefty portion of fried pickles ($6) and deep-fried onion straws ($6). The St. Bernard chicken rescues hungry taste buddies with a fine cut of grilled chicken blanketed in cheese, bacon, and mushrooms ($9), and the half rack of St. Louis–fashioned Rottweiler Ribs ($11) fills diners with a satisfaction paralleled only by watching a Meg Ryan romantic comedy. Guests can also quell burger cravings with one of six options, including The Great Dane, a mammoth patty piled with blue cheese, bacon, and mushrooms ($8), or choose to ebb the rising tide of seafood desires with the hand-battered Fish and Collie Chips ($10).
In warmer months, the whimsical patio at McCarron's Pub and Grill?complete with the sounds of trickling water and lush landscaping?is the perfect spot for a cold one. When the weather cools, head indoors to catch the sounds of frequent live acts and enjoy homemade comfort food from the kitchen, which specializes in burgers, sliders, and sandwiches. On Fridays, McCarron's plays host to karaoke, as well as a weekly fish-fry, so visitors can chow on lightly battered and fried filets before getting up to belt out renditions of Gone Fishin'.
Every night of the week is party night at Freddy's Tiki Hut. Karaoke, Bingo, live music, or DJs keep the vibe fun but mellow?and the tropical surroundings and 16 beers on tap don't hurt either. A full menu of homemade bar grub keeps revelers reveling, and ranges from hand-patted burgers to fiery-hot chicken wings and Vienna beef chili dogs.

hi im just getting to know wild flowers this year,
i found lobiea down by the bank this year [the bank never gets cut] it was big n beauitful! the plants was about 2-3 feet tall. well then i was sitting in my yard yesterday n i looked down to find a tiny small lobelia! about 6inches tall. they both looked the same except size, my yard dose get cut. so im wondering if these two are the same? maybe the one i found in the yard is smaller cause the yard gets cut? or is these two diffrent? i did dig up the tiny lobelias n put them in a flower bed:) |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are quite a number of different lobelias. Great blue lobelia is a perennial that grows in moist soil in full sun and gets to 4 feet. Indian tobacco is an annual that grows on woodland edges in ordinary soil in part shade. You may need a field guide to identify which ones you have. See the link below for more lobelias. |

Syria Accuses and Hamas Denies
Updates on war and peace
In Daybreak, we linked to a story about an Israel airstrike on the border between Lebanon and Syria. This might explain why two Iron Dome batteries were placed in the northern part of the country earlier this week. Here's what we've learned since.
"The target was a truck loaded with weapons, heading from Syria to Lebanon," one Western diplomat told Reuters, adding that the convoy likely didn't include chemical weapons.
Officials in the region told The Associated Press the shipment included Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which could pose a serious threat to the region's balance of power if they fall in the hands of Iranian-backed Hezbollah.
A U.S. official told the AP the airstrike hit a convoy of trucks. Syria television said that Israeli warplanes had actually attacked a research center in Damascus province. The Israeli government declined to comment on the attack. A Lebanese security official, however, denied any strike in Lebanon, according to Reuters.
We also noted a piece by Haaretz, containing a report that Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal endorsed the two-state solution. Well, according to the Hamas website (h/t Challah Hu Akbar), that report has been denied.
Bad news all around. Happy hump day.

text: Hi! I'm new here, and I need some help and motivation! My name is Jennifer, and I began my lifestyle change on April 3. I didn't weigh at the beginning, but after a month I weighed in at 265, so I think I started around 280. As of today, I'm at 246.6 pounds, trying to get down to 130 pounds at 5' 1". I lost quickly at first, but in the last week I've actually gained .2 pound, and I don't know how! It's so very frustrating. I keep a record of everything I eat, and my calories for the last week have ranged each day from 1190 to 1360. I eat 3 small meals and 3 snacks a day, spread out at 2-3 hour intervals. I drink about 100 oz. of water a day. I don't exercise, but I have an active job where I'm on my feet and walking a lot for 36 hours a week. I'm not sure what I need to do to get my weight loss started again. I'm going to try to get some exercise in a few days a week. But what about food wise? Someone suggested to me that my body might be going into starvation mode because of not getting enough calories, and that I should actually eat a little more for a while. I have noticed this week that I've actually fet hungrier than I've felt in the past weeks. I really don't think I should eat less at this point. I'm just lost and discouraged right now, but I don't want to give up. Any advice?

The relationship between the original skinheads of the late 1960s and reggae music are often a source of debate as to the uninitiated they seem curious partners. The raw sounds of reggae were in great contrast to the progressive rock and pop tunes that dominated the BBC playlists; reggae had evolved from the slower Jamaican rocksteady.
The book tells the story of the rise of reggae from 1968 to its height and subsequent demise as by the end of 1972 reggae had evolved to what some say was watered down and string laden, a far cry from the original authentic sounds of the late 1960s which the remaining skinheads could no longer empathise. The major artists of the time, some who have sadly passed on are reviewed with their singles and albums and the compilation budget LP's that were to become a very important mainstay of the reggae scene.

Last week, How I Met Your Mother aired an episode that implicitly teased a disturbing possibility: "The Mother" — whose first encounter with series protagonist Ted has been teased for more than 200 episodes — will be killed off before the series comes to an end.
But if you're a subscriber to this widespread conspiracy theory, Cristin Milioti (who plays the mother) would like to ease your worries.
"There have been rampant theories throughout the show in the last couple years, and this season, that the story's being told because the mother is dead," says an interviewer from The Hollywood Reporter during a recent chat with Milioti.
"That's insane," replies Milioti. "There's like, some crazy conspiracy theories — which actually just makes me, like, really love the fans more, 'cause I'm like, 'Wow, you guys are really... you're getting to the bottom of, like... something. I don't know, there's such passion there. That is so crazy." Milioti goes on to compare the "Mother is dead" theory to Lost, though she admits she's only seen a single episode — so there's still a chance she'll turn out to be the Smoke Monster. --Scott Meslow
U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 2.6 percent annual rate in 2014's fourth quarter, according to the Commerce Department.
The news comes after the U.S. economy posted its strongest growth in more than a decade, a 5 percent GDP reading in the third quarter of 2014. It also comes two days after the Federal Reserve said the U.S. economy was expanding at a "solid pace."
Economists had estimated that America's economy grew by three percent during the last three months of 2014. Reuters reports that lower gasoline prices heightened fourth-quarter consumer spending.
"The consumer did the heavy lifting, and I don't think there is any reason to expect that to change in the first half of this year because of the enormous tailwind from lower gasoline prices," Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania, told Reuters.
The Grand Canyon fills up with rolling fog normally only once every few years. But on Wednesday, clouds filled the famous canyon for the second time in six weeks. The phenomenon is called a total cloud inversion, and it happens when cold, moist air gets trapped beneath a layer of warmer air. You can watch The Weather Channel explain cloud inversions here, or just enjoy nature's winter treat in this video from The Associated Press and National Park Service below. —Peter Weber
Jay Z is taking on Spotify — he's purchased his own streaming service, the Scandinavian company Aspiro, for $56 million.
Project Panther Bidco Ltd, a company Jay Z controls, told Reuters on Friday that it decided to purchase Aspiro because it was "an innovative, high-quality company with strong future growth potential."
The Norwegian media group Schibsted, Aspiro's main shareholder, said it had accepted the offer, and Aspiro's board is "united in recommending the bid," according to Reuters.
Mitt Romney (R) will announce his plans for the 2016 elections on Friday morning, according to multiple reports.
Supporters of Romney's 2012 presidential campaign received an email Thursday inviting them to join a call with Romney on Friday morning for "an update."
Sources have confirmed to Bloomberg that Romney is ready to announce a decision about a potential presidential bid in 2016. "According to people familiar with the thinking of the two-time presidential candidate, Romney has now gathered all the information he needs to reach a conclusion about whether to run a third time," Bloomberg reports.
The news comes as David Kochel, an Iowa-based Republican strategist who worked on both of Romney's presidential campaigns, has joined Jeb Bush's political action committee as a senior strategist. Kochel advised Romney for more than six years.
On Friday, President Obama will unveil a proposal for a federal biomedical research institute aimed at developing treatments tailored to individual patients' genetics and other characteristics. White House officials tell The New York Times that the "precision medicine initiate" will require an initial investment of $215 million, which will be included in Obama's proposed fiscal 2016 budget. Such personalized treatments are expected to be especially important in fighting cancer. When Obama broached the idea for the institute in his State of the Union address, it was one of the points to receive some bipartisan support.
Birds do it, bees do it, even.... James Carville and Mary Matalin did it. But a surprisingly large number of Americans are solidly against dating (and perhaps falling in love with) someone in the other political party, Jessica Williams said on Thursday night's Daily Show. Williams got some juicy, mind-bending quotes from her panels of inter-party-dating-averse Democrats and Republicans. But what happens when she sends one of the Democrats and one of the Republicans on a date together? "It was a catastrophe," Williams says in a voiceover — just maybe not for the reason you'd expect. —Peter Weber
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said that Death Row Records cofounder Marion "Suge" Knight turned himself in early Friday to face questioning over a deadly incident in which two people were run over by a red pickup on Thursday afternoon. One, a 55-year-old man, died, the other man was injured.
Update: The L.A. Sheriff's Department arrested Knight on Friday morning, on suspicion of murder, and set his bail at $2 million, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Citing witnesses, the Sheriff's Department says that the driver of the truck deliberately ran over the two members of the Straight Outta Compton film crew; Knight's lawyer says that Knight was driving, but accidentally ran over the two men while trying to escape two other assailants.
Sunday is the Super Bowl, and Jon Stewart took Thursday night's Daily Show to tackle the twin controversies surrounding this year's match-up between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. Stewart wasn't overly nonplussed about "Deflategate," or "Ballghazi," but he did mockingly wonder if those were "appropriate nicknames for something this serious." His alternative: "I'm gonna go with the Ballocaust."
Also, Stewart had one good question about who's to blame for New England's under-inflated footballs: "If it's not Belichick or Brady — and it's both — then how did only the Patriots' balls become deflated?" After a too-brief interlude with John Hodgman, Stewart turned to the NFL's forced media appearances of Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
Not only did the league threaten to fine Lynch $500,000 for not meeting the press, but they may penalize him for wearing the wrong brand of hat. "You know, it's just classic NFL to be more worried about what's happening on top of the player's head than the damage that's going on inside it," Stewart deadpanned. "It explains their slogan: 'The National Football League, Worrying About the Wrong S#@t Since 1920.'" —Peter Weber
On Thursday night, Robert Ladd was put to death by lethal injection at the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville. Ladd, convicted of beating Vicki Ann Garner to death with a hammer in 1996, had an IQ of just 67, prompting a legal challenge on the grounds that Ladd was intellectually disabled. The Supreme Court declined to grant a last-minute stay of execution. —Peter Weber

Before Rod McKuen essentially stopped publishing his poems and recording albums in 1981, he was a pop culture juggernaut, a sort of middlebrow Renaissance man, selling more than 60 million of his poetry books and tens of millions of copies of his 200 music and spoken-word albums. At the peak of his career, in the 1960s and '70s, McKuen was "the unofficial poet laureate of America," according to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture. He died on Thursday in Beverly Hills, after a battle with pneumonia, at age 81.
McKuen collaborated with Belgian songwriter Jacques Brel on a string of well-known songs, including "If You Go Away" and "Seasons in the Sun," and Frank Sinatra commissioned and recorded an album of his songs, A Man Alone (1969). He was nominated for Academy Awards for the title songs to A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969) and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969), and won a Grammy for his spoken-word album Lonesome Cities (1968). He acted in TV shows and movies. As a budding poet in the 1950s, McKuen read his work alongside Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and other Beat poets.
His prolific work made him wealthy and famous, but the critics were not particularly kind. As to why he took a long break starting in the '80s, "I was tired," he told the Chicago Tribune in 2001. "I peaked. I left when I was on top." Below, you can watch McKuen sing "Seasons in the Sun," his translation of Brel's "Le Moribond" and a hit for Terry Jacks in 1974. —Peter Weber

Although they haven't yet officially opened the doors to Wright Phillips & Co., principals Jason Wright and Chris Phillips are already giving back by hosting a local toy drive fundraiser to benefit orphan children in Zambia, Africa.
All toys collected during the toy drive will be shipped to Zambia next week in an effort to fill homes in the Tree of Life Children's Village. Operated by Irving, Texas-based Family Legacy Missions International, the Children's Village is a welcoming community of homes built to bring comprehensive transformation to the lives of Zambian orphans from some of the most severe backgrounds of poverty, abuse and neglect. Phillips and his wife, Dr. Erin Phillips, a local neurologist, have traveled to the Children's Village on multiple occasions over the past three years to love and serve orphan children.
In addition to using their office at 1310 ESE Loop 323 as a drop-off location until March 6 for new and used toys, Wright Phillips & Co. will provide a corporate trailer for drop-off at the following Tyler locations:
•February 29 at Texas Bank and Trust located at 2323 W. Grande
•March 1-2 at Premier Fitness located at 5604 Donnybrook Ave.
•March 5-6 at Tony Cruz's XTC Fitness & Sports located at 7922 South Broadway
Wright and Phillips, seasoned real estate professionals and current partners in the local CENTURY 21 franchise, are launching Wright Phillips & Co. March 1, 2012, with a fundamental business philosophy rooted in giving back to the community.
"Our philosophy is simple: We want to assemble and grow a real estate firm whose foundation is rooted in charitable giving," explained Phillips. "Jason and I are both very passionate about our support of charitable organizations, both locally and abroad. And while we are in the business of helping our clients successfully buy and sell real estate, we feel incredibly blessed to be able to do so in a wonderful city like Tyler."
In addition to the toy drive, Wright Phillips & Co. is in the process of establishing its Charitable Partner Program, whereby selected local non-profit organizations will receive a percentage of all real estate transactions completed by Wright Phillips & Co. agents.
About Wright Phillips & Co.
Set to launch March 1, 2012, with a corporate focus on charitable giving, Wright Phillips & Co. specializes in residential real estate sales throughout Tyler and most of East Texas. Co-founder Jason Wright has owned the local CENTURY 21 office since 2003. In addition, he is currently a Tyler City Councilman and board member on numerous local charitable organizations and businesses. Originally from Amarillo, Chris Phillips relocated to Tyler from Nashville, Tenn., in 2008 to continue his real estate career in his home state. Wright Phillips & Co. plans to open additional offices in Amarillo, Austin, and other Texas markets in the future

"Delightful and discerning . . . In this evocative study a remarkable woman, creator of the 'first lady' role, comes vividly to life."--The New York Times
When the roar of the Revolution had finally died down, a new generation of politicians was summoned to the Potomac to assemble the nation's capital. Into that unsteady atmosphere--which would soon enough erupt into another conflict with Britain--Dolley Madison arrived, alongside her husband, James. Within a few years, she had mastered both the social and political intricacies of the city, and by her death in 1849 was the most celebrated person in Washington. And yet, to most Americans, she's best known for saving a portrait from the burning White House.
Why did her contemporaries so admire a lady so little known today? In A Perfect Union, acclaimed historian Catherine Allgor reveals how Dolley manipulated the contstraints of her gender to construct an American democratic ruling style and to achieve her husband's political goals. By emphasizing cooperation over coercion--building bridges instead of bunkers--she left us with not only an important story about our past but a model for a modern form of politics.
Given the updated release of Steve Mariotti's classic The Young Entrepreneur's Guide to Starting and Running a Business on Tuesday, we decided...... READ MORE

Win relief for Gannon
05 Sep 2006 - 07:55:25
Stockport County boss Jim Gannon was a relieved man after seeing his side record their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory at home to Bristol Rovers.
A double from loan striker Glenn Murray was enough to see off the Pirates and lift Gannon's side away from the foot of the table.
He said after the game: "The first five games of the season are gone now, but I always said that we deserved more than just the two points.
"All of the team were strong and the substitutes came on and simply finished the job off for us.
"Credit to Bristol Rovers, they came on to us at times and it was inevitable that we would concede chances, but my players have worked hard and deserved their win."

Science, industry and politics are united, says Phil Willis.
The endless stream of disappointing economic news, and the strong hints that the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) will bring yet more austerity, should send alarm bells ringing in every publicly-funded science facility. The challenge to persuade the Treasury of the case for investment in science as a prerequisite for economic and social wellbeing remains as strong as ever, though the joint efforts to win a substantial settlement for science in 2010 demonstrated that the community is learning.
I say 'investment' because, for too long, the science and engineering communities have allowed public expenditure on science to be badged as 'public spending'. Few private sector companies would regard their expenditure in research and development as anything other than investment, so it was interesting that when the President of the Royal Society recently made this point, he found common agreement with both Vince Cable, the Secretary of State for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and Roland Aurich, the Chief Executive of Siemens UK.
Agree to invest
Finding common accord between science, industry and politics is rare. This moment needs to be nurtured. We must now find further agreement about where investment is most needed and where it will find most favour. That task has always proved difficult and various attempts have fallen short. Equally the science community all too often looks at investment in a rather narrow and parochial sense. This allows politicians to divide and conquer all too easily.
Interestingly, a common area of agreement has emerged which, if nurtured dynamically rather than apologetically, could provide the raw material for investments in a wide range of disciplines. I refer of course to data mining – the 21st century equivalent of the Klondike.
Current Klondike
Today's data miners differ from the gold miners in the Yukon in 1896 in that they have an unimaginable amount of bounty at their disposal. Last year alone, data amounted to some 1.8 zettabytes, according to the IDC Digital Universe study [1]. And the amount is being doubled every second year. To put the volume into perspective: we would need 57.5 billion 32 GB iPads to store it all! What is more, there is hardly an area of scientific endeavour where data mountains are not being created,
with little extraction of their real value.
There are of course many obstacles to effective data mining but it is good to see ministers recognise steps that need addressing. Dr Cable has already acted upon advice from
the Royal Society [2] by affirming the principle that, as in the US, all publicly-funded research data is a national good and should be available with as few restrictions as possible. The launch in 2013 of the Gateway to Research web portal covering projects funded by the Research Councils is yet another example of ministerial support. But, as the Hargreaves Report [3] so clearly pointed out, issues of intellectual property and copyright remain extremely difficult challenges to overcome.
UK ideally placed
Such challenges must be addressed, and swiftly. McKinsey International has estimated that 'big data' technologies, including text and data mining, would create 250 billion for Europe's economy each year. As the most efficient and productive research nation in terms of output per dollar, the UK is ideally placed to take full advantage of the new data gold rush, with health and life science research at the forefront. The NHS has the largest and most comprehensive
database on the planet.
If science is to make a special plea for increased funding in the new CSR, let us build a case around investment, around an area of real opportunity – let the UK become the Klondike of the next decade. Let the data gold rush begin!

I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but I thought I'd try. I used to go to a family owned Cajun restaurant about 30 years ago and they had their version of cheesecake. They made it in a 9x13 casserole dish and it was softer and creamier than normal cheesecake, kind of like pudding texture. I found a recipe recently that was in a 9x13 and had sour cream added to it, but it still had the same firm texture as cheesecake. Does anyone have a recipe that you think would be the one I'm talking about? |

Look for recipes that use fewer eggs in proportion to the cream cheese (or Neufch�tel or ricotta or whatever "cheese" ingredient you're using) and very little or no flour. Eggs and flour are thickening and binding agents that will give a firmer texture. Also, try adding (or increasing the amount of) sour cream to the cheesecake mixture. I usually also add a tablespoon or two of fresh lemon juice. If the mixture is predominately cream cheese (and very little liquid), the cheesecake will be very firm when chilled. Even more important than the specific recipe that you use, DO NOT OVERBAKE! The cheesecake will continue baking after you take it out of the oven, and it will become firmer when it's refrigerated. If you want a soft, creamy cheesecake, the center of the cheesecake should be jiggly when you take it out of the oven. Even the best recipe will be ruined if overbaked. I've tried a lot of different cheesecake recipes over the years, and have gotten great results with nearly all of them. (Of course, I don't select recipes at random. Usually I try recipes that have been recommended to me or that come from serious cooks.) Unlike regular cake recipes which need to be followed precisely, cheesecake recipes are very forgiving. You have some leeway to adjust the quantities of the ingredients, as long as you don't make drastic changes. One last tip -- I always use Neufchatel instead of cream cheese these days because it has 1/3 less fat than cream cheese. It often has fewer additives than cream cheese, which almost always have stabilizers added. I'm very fussy about ingredients, but I can't tell the difference in cheesecake.

Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand?
List of One-Handed Wii and PC Games (221 comments)
In case you decide to pick up a Wii, the following games can be played with only the Wii Remote (based on my own collection):
Mario Kart Wii (designed for two hands but playable with one)
Wii Sports (most mini-games can be played with one hand)
Wii Sports Resort (again, most can be played with one hand)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (downloadable only)
Dead Space Extraction (if memory serves me; I no longer own it)
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Zack and Wiki (if memory serves me)
Trauma Center: New Blood (if memory serves me)
In addition to these, a number of downloadable "WiiWare" titles can be played one-handed, and if you can get used to playing simple games with the controller horizontal (i.e. reaching across the controller for the buttons with the same hand that is using the d-pad), you should be able to play just about any NES game on the Wii's store, as well as many Genesis games. New Super Mario Bros might also be feasible, but you would need some way to shake and rotate the controller.
Some one-handed PC games (generally mouse-only) include:
Greed Cord
Torchlight II
Good luck finding something that works for you!

FMVSS No.126 (ESC system test) Compliant - With the popularity of Zone's 6.5 inch lift kit for the 2007-13 GM trucks, the engineers at Zone Offroad Products have designed the new 2014 kits to retain many of the great features customers have comes to expect with fitment for the new electronic power steering on the 2014 trucks.
The system includes a pair of fully boxed heavy duty crossmembers and robust ductile iron steering knuckles engineered to work with the redesigned steering. A 3-piece differential relocation system is utilized to correct front pinion angle with the center differential brace tying front and rear crossmembers together for a sturdy differential mount. This coupled with the differential skid plate and crossmember brace create an incredibly strong front subframe designed to correct suspension geometry while increasing ground clearance.
To retain factory ride quality a pair of bolt-on strut spacers are used to provide lift. These install easily without the need to disassemble the factory strut. Also included in the kit are a pair of CV spacers, brake line brackets, sway bar relocation, and all the necessary hardware to complete the install.
To lift the rear and level the stance a 5 inch tapered block is utilized along with longer u-bolts, brake line bracket and your choice of hydro or nitro shocks.
This forged steel and forged aluminum control arms from the factory. Zone Offroad Products offers kits to fit both steel and aluminum arm equipped trucks. Check your vehicle before ordering to ensure the correct kit is shipped. Accessories for this lift kit include Zone front skid plate available separately.
As with all Zone Offroad Products, this 6.5 inch lift kit is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Linux Outlaws
In the midst of the Ubuntu Developer Summit for the forthcoming long-term support release named Lucid Lynx, a new issue arose. This was an issue of intense partisanship perhaps. The GNU Image Manipulation Program, otherwise known as GIMP, was proposed for removal from the default installation on the distributed live CD.
Documentation for this is skimpy at the moment. The desktop team's blueprint does not explicitly state that this will happen. The Internet Relay Chat log for that particular session has barely any details except that the popularity contest package for measuring usage ranked GIMP on par with F-Spot. Although the session was filmed, the relevant Ogg Theora video file has not tumbled down the podcast distribution chute yet for review. A blog post at fan site unaffiliated with Canonical is what broke word for those not attending the summit.
Opinions on Identi.ca were across a bit of a range from being okay with the change to opposition through thoughts of counter-proposal to sadness. One user on Identi.ca noted that it is a big difference between stripping something from a live CD and removing something from repositories.
This whole matter presents concerns from the perspective of the Ubuntu NGO Team's blueprint. One of the areas of work enunciated in that plan was that the team would work on offline documentation. Offline repositories are something also considered in a discussion paper on the team's wiki site.
How can the GIMP be made available for those with sub-optimal Internet access? A case might be made that stripping GIMP off the live CD would reduce access to the package for those with less than optimal access to the Internet or no access at all. Unfortunately such is anecdotal at present and there is no hard data to properly back such a notion up.
The first tool to surmount this issue is the Ubuntu Customization Kit. At present that package's own project site shows examples of use in creating localized editions by language. For putting GIMP back into a live CD while stripping out other packages would create a derivative version of the distributed disc images which can over time create things like Linux Mint, CrunchBang Linux, and Katian.
A different work-around that may work better would be to go the route of APTonCD. APTonCD is one option for off-line movement of packages that does not require access to the Internet for installing anything. A similar tool for a command-line world would be AptZip that instead may allow shifting the download burden elsewhere such as to perhaps run on a public access computer at a public library.
As an overarching shift in live CD design, the inclusion by default of APTonCD would alleviate any worries like this in the future perhaps. Backers of GIMP and other packages that might not fit on the disc but still have strong communities can make images of APTonCD discs available. This is a short run solution, though. Increasing the availability of repository mirrors in public access Internet service settings would be a far more preferable solution in the long run.
Within the Ubuntu project, this would be a matter of liaison between the NGO Team and the Desktop Team, perhaps, as it touches upon the matter of trying to make the Ubuntu experience as equal as possible between the industrialized West and the Global South. Outside the Ubuntu project, this remains a matter of knowing what is going on with what you use. Just as it may seem simple to drive an automobile, quite a lot is going on under the hood. Compared to Windows or MacOS, Linux in general is the hotrod that you can upgrade and change just as drivers in the 1960s and 1970s could fuss over vehicles from manufacturers like AMX.

Saturday, June 20
Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Attendance: None
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Jeff Weaver pitched better than his younger brother, Jered, as the Dodgers hung on to edge the Angels, 6-4, in the middle installment of this weekend's three-game Freeway Series.
Jeff Weaver (4-1), 32, clearly had the better stuff on Saturday, giving up two runs on six hits with four strikeouts in a five-plus-inning outing for the Dodgers.
"Mentally and physically I am exhausted. One of the most ill-felt victories ever. It wasn't easy for either of us. We made history and now it's time to move on," Jeff Weaver said.
Jered Weaver (7-3), 26, allowed six runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts in a 5 1/3-inning start for the Angels.
"I made some pitches that were up and they made me pay. I wish I could have put up a better performance. It was very draining. It's nice to get it over with," Jered Weaver said.
It was the eighth tandem of brothers in MLB history to face off as starting pitchers. The last time opposing brothers squared off was 2002 when Andy and Alan Benes went toe-to-toe for the Cardinals and Cubs, respectively.
Andre Ethier had a two-run triple for the Dodgers, who have won five of their last seven. Russell Martin went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored.
Kendry Morales stroked a solo homer and Gary Matthews Jr. belted a two-run shot for the Angels, who had a seven-game winning streak snapped.
The Angels scored a run in each of the first two innings to take the early lead. Bobby Abreu put the Angels on the board with an RBI single in the first, and Morales led off the second with a solo shot over the right-field wall.
The Dodgers scored a pair of runs in the third to deadlock the game. Martin started things with a one-out home run to left. Matt Kemp walked, Juan Pierre singled, and Rafael Furcal walked to load the bases. Orlando Hudson then hit a sacrifice fly.
The Dodgers took control of the game by putting a three-spot on the board in the fifth. With runners on first and second and two outs, Casey Blake stroked an RBI single to center. Ethier followed with a two-run triple to center to give the Dodgers a 5-2 margin.
Martin scored on a wild pitch from Kevin Jepsen in the top of the sixth to make it a 6-2 game.
The Angels put runners on second and third with two outs in the home half of the frame, but Juan Rivera went down swinging to end the threat. During the Angels' next at-bat, they had men on first and second with two outs. Ramon Troncoso got the Dodgers out of a minor jam by getting Chone Figgins to ground out.
The Dodgers loaded the bases with one out in the top of the ninth, but failed to score a run.
Jonathan Broxton came on for the Dodgers in the bottom of the inning. Broxton gave up a two-run homer to pinch-hitter Matthews, but was able to secure the win.

We banned the bag in 100 communities.
In 2013, more cities and counties stood up to protect Pacific wildlife and passed bans on single-use plastic grocery bags. Now, more than 90 communities in California, from Marin to Los Angeles, are living bag free. Thanks to citizen support, California now has a network of 124 underwater state parks that protect our coast and wildlife.

"The staff was especially helpful personalizing the text. The finished product was on excellent quality paper and was pleasing to everyone involved in the party planning."
"Perfect! We received many compliments on this card. Staff at little prints helped with adjusting size so we could fit our text in. Tiny Prints is a terrific company to deal with, and I highly recommend it. If I could make a single suggestion, I would ask that more room be left for text on the various design choices. Also, hosts should allow enough time for printing turnaround time."

Federal Moto – The Norton Commando Tracker via Silodrome
The Norton Commando is a motorcycle that I have a lot of time for, many consider it one of the greatest motorcycles of all time and I'd be inclined to agree pretty enthusiastically.
Originally introduced in 1967, the Commando won worldwide acclaim that continues to this day, it won the coveted Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for 5 straight years from '68 to '72 – staving of stiff competition from the new generation of motorcycles coming out of Japan.
The custom Commando tracker you see here is the work of Federal Moto, a relatively new Canadian custom motorcycle workshop based in Edmonton, Alberta and run by Justin Benson, Randy Venhuis, Shaun Brandt, and Kyle Nichols.
The expansively detailed write up the team at Federal Moto did for this bike is so good I've decided to post it here unedited. It covers every aspect of the build from start to finish and should interest those of you who want to know exactly what goes into building a custom motorcycle to this level.
So depending on the time of day in your part of the world, go make yourself a coffee or open a beer, then scroll down and have a read.
"We found this 1974 Norton Commando 850 on a farm in Rimbey, Alberta. It ran, barely, and had a ton of attitude. We wanted to create a surf style tracker that you could ride around the city, or cruise through the rockies all the way to the coast. We only had one condition: maintain the soul of the classic design and feel that Norton had built 40 years ago. We made some major design changes to the shape and feel of the bike, but the spirit is all still there. We can only hope that the employees at Norton would be fighting each other to take it for a spin if it rolled onto the factory floor.
We began by taking the bike down to the frame. Norton Commandos have a very thick centre tube that slants downward towards the tail of the bike, making it very difficult create the perfect line we wanted from headlight to taillight. First step was cutting the rear section of the centre tube out and re-shaping the frame to have one clean line. It took some engineering, but we've welded and formed the frame to be just as strong as the original. After that we shortened the frame by 18 inches in order to sit just in front of the centre of the rear wheel, and shaped a new rear hoop. This was the beginning of tracker shape we were going after.
