I've made these 3 totems and are not sure if they would sell at a craft fair better as they are or if I should make them to be in the garden on a pole. I just don't know and my hubby thinks they should be in the garden on a pole. This is the place to get some experienced opinions. Thanks

Wow...those are gorgeous! I'd say it would depend on a couple of things. First, how tall are they? They look like they might be smaller than some totems, so they may indeed look better on a pole. You'd have to glue another vase to the bottom of the them to make them "sit" on the pole better I think. But, if you're looking for a totem in a smaller garden setting, then these might just fit the bill. I have a couple of small totems that are only about 18-24" tall, but they work well where I have them. Hope that helps a little... |
Thanks Marlene. They are only 17" tall. Putting a vase on the bottom was what I was going to do if I wanted them to be on a pole. Decisions, decisions. I think I would like to put them on a pole so they catch the sun. Marilyn |

VEry pretty Marilyn! I have one of mine sitting on an upsidedown plant pot. But if they are not on a pole, the bottom plate should be bigger. I just looked and I don't have a pic of the totem on the pot, just in the house before I put it out. Kathy |
Kathy, you just gave me a great idea for the Craft Fair I'm going to be selling at in a couple of weeks. I was thinking that if I didn't have these set up to go on a pole no one would want them. Now you gave me the solution! I will bring a few plant pots to set them on so people will be able to see how they can display them. Thank you for the great idea. And I will put a larger plate for the base. Marilyn |
If they are mounted on "poles" they can be adjusted to suit any background plants. |
Very pretty. You know they would look great as a topper in a birdbath. |

Very pretty totems...I like that you used glass birds...sorry no advice for you as I don't make these ...just have one birdbath made & it has lasted 3 yrs outside (except in winter). Jeanne S. |

GILLETTE, Wyo. — Campbell County is spending $870,000 to realign a road at the Gillette-Campbell County Airport, but general passenger traffic should not be affected.
Cheyenne-based Simon Contractors will begin the road work Monday.
Airport director Jay Lundell said the road is being realigned to improve operations at the general aviation facility — but construction should not affect traffic to the main terminal. The road serves corporate, personal, freight and air ambulance services at the airport.
"General aviation encompasses a lot of business here at the airport," he said.
Lundell said the road is being realigned because people can't turn left from employee and customer parking areas at the general aviation facility. Re-aligning the road will allow the airport to move the main entrance for general aviation from the south side to the east side of the building.
Lights will be added to the road, in addition to some asphalt work. Rental car companies also will have space for a new parking lot with a car wash, Lundell said.
"It's very deteriorated and we need to do something with the existing area where they park," Lundell said of the rental lot.
Construction is expected to take 45 days, and Simon Contractors plans to work six days a week to finish the project.

Hi all. I recently posted about a shrub that I couldnt recall the name of. It is an oleander shrub, which I also found out is not supposed to be hardy to my zone.
I thought it was dead, but I did the scratch test, and it's still green beneath. Now I have two problems. First of all, it appears to be dead. What should I do with it? SHould i cut it back, remove the dead leaves? I don't know. I'm thinking that I should test from the top with scratches, and cut off anything above what shows green beneath. Sound right? And then, we had a mild winter, it could be just plain dumb luck that the bush survived at all. I am thinking, since I do like the plant, you know, when it's not dead and brown, I'm thinking of potting it, and bringing it in over winters from here on out. I think that should be alright, since I don't think they get more than maybe 8 feet tall. I could be wrong about that. Seems the ones I remember from Florida were never very tall. But they bloom alot all season, and I do get plenty of sun in my dining room for it. But I'm not sure. It's hard to find information on roots, and I'm worried that potted may not be a good idea for it's roots. They are essentially I think small trees. Indeed I'm not even sure which they qualify as, small trees or bushes. Any advice? Anyone know anything about oleanders? Unless advised otherwise, I think I will go ahead and cut it back and pot it. Oh that too, I was worried about. Do you think it would hurt it to be dug up at this time? Or should I cut it back and leave it there to give it time to recover from the winter first? Thanks much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wait longer to see if it grows back. Cut off dead/nearly dead after obvious flush of replacement growth appears. If it doesn't sprout back all summer, toss it. |

Thank you bboy. As it happens, I have since learned that oleanders can have very destructive roots, though apparently they can do well even north of me. Nonetheless, as it was planted right next to my pool, (thank God not at the end with the pump lines), and apparently will go searching for water, I cut her back and dug her up and potted her immediately. |
- Posted by quirkyquercus (My Page) on Thu, Apr 13, 06 at 20:02
That might have been overreacting. Oleander is very common in southern and central florida. I couldn't believe it when I saw it for sale in the walmart garden center the other day along with live oak and other florida-esque plants. Maybe the truck got lost and delivered to the wrong store. I can't imagine oleander tolerating z7 winter. |
"Wait longer to see if it grows back" I think I would do just that. Normally Common Oleander [Nerium] can be easily transplanted during spring through summer. My potted specimens sometimes do lose all of their leaves during the winter months. Just for experiment maybe you should leave one alone and heavily mulch at the base of the plant during the winter months Hope this helps some. |
- Posted by wanna_garden z7 Georgia (My Page) on Fri, Apr 14, 06 at 11:22
Well actually, I found another very long thread concerning oleanders, it was a very old thread, so I didn't want to revive it, but there there were people saying they grew them in n. or s. carolina, which really surprised me. Anyway, my husband isn't really....into... my gardening, so I know he will not be sympathetic if the oleander were to strangle any lines, bust through our pool wall, screw up our septic system etc etc. Apparently alot of people have had bad problems with the roots of these. I understand if you keep them well watered you have no worries, but I just don't wanna be worrying about it, you know? And I do imagine this will look very nice potted and on my back deck. But I wanted to ask you, about winters, and the leaves falling off of your's. Did you keep it in house or in a basement or such? I guess they don't need any cold winters, since they're hot weather shrubs. Oh! Okay, nevermind, you're zone 8/9! LOL. Well they come back nicely every spring I guess, correct? |
Yes I am in Arizona which now allows me to brag about the nice weather we are having up until June and it's H-ll from there. Lol. So far I have not had any problems with it not springing back once the weather warms up. I kept mine in a small Bonsai |

I live in Toronto. I brought my potted Oleander in for the winter and am keeping it in a cool corner with a little light. I water it about once a week. The leaves have dried but pretty stayed on the plant all winter. I thought it was dormant for the winter but now it's spring and there is no sign of life. Is my plant dead? All opinions will be welcome. |

Oleander plants in backyard are in their 2nd season and look bad. one the leaves look like they are trying to dry up and the other the leaves keep turning yellow and fall off or we pick them off. DO WE HAVE A DEFIECENCY OR A DISEASE? Thanks |
I live in Oklahoma and also found some beautiful Oleanders at the local Wal Mart garden center. They are beautiful but don't know if they can survive our harsh winters. I didn't know anything about it when I brought it home and planted it. I found some helpful information and posted the link for you. |

Government schools across the State must teach English from Class 1 to encourage parents to keep their children in the public education system, Kimmane Rathnakar, Minister of State for Primary and Secondary Education, has said.
Speaking after the inauguration of the Vidyavahini project under the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) here on Tuesday, he instructed officials of the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to work towards streamlining teaching. "Currently, a lot of parents pull their children out of our government schools simply because they want their children to learn English. Even if examinations are not conducted, we must teach the language from the early stages," he emphasised. The Vidyavahini is an IT-enabled project for the department to monitor and supervise various initiatives implemented under the SSA.
Mr. Ratnakar said he had commissioned a report on the status of Urdu schools in the State, following reports that these schools registered high dropout rates.
He also spoke about plans to use funds, sourced from the 2 per cent that private companies are supposed to reserve for corporate social responsibility activities, to develop public schools. Mr. Ratnakar proposed that corporates could adopt schools. He said that around Rs. 300 crore was needed to be able to upgrade the current public education system in the State.
"We do not have this much money. Which is why it will be good if the 2 per cent profit contribution, mandated under the Companies Act, is used for this purpose," he said.

"At some point during the making of 'Hips Don't Lie'," recalls Serge Tsai, "I turned to my assistant and said 'Man, this sounds like it's going to be big.' But I didn't know it was going to be that big." Tsai's amazement is understandable, as 'Hips Don't Lie' must have exceeded the wildest expectations of everyone, even the two performing stars, Shakira and Wyclef Jean, by becoming by far the biggest single of 2006, and one of the biggest singles of all time. It reached number one in almost every charting country in the world, including the UK and the US, became the second most successful single (after Cher's 'Believe') since 1999 in the United World Chart, and sold about nine million copies worldwide.
'Hips Don't Lie' is a remake of a track called 'Dance Like This', co-written and produced by Wyclef Jean for the 2004 movie Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, which had Claudette Ortiz, formerly of City High, sharing vocal duties with Jean. Serge Tsai engineered most sections of the two songs and also mixed both versions. 'Dance Like This' and 'Hips Don't Lie' share the main vocal hook as well as the characteristic descending brass sample, which is originally from the song 'Amores Como El Nuestro' by singer Jerry Rivera; everything other than the sample was re-recorded in the new version. While the original leans towards hip-hop, the 2006 update has a percussion-rich, world music feel.
Structurally, the new version is a showcase for the old entertainment adage 'always leave them wanting more'. The original version clocks in at 4:08 and repeats the main hook ('I never really knew that she could dance like this...') 12 times, while the 'Bayla' chorus section appears four times. By contrast, 'Hips Don't Lie' lasts only 3:37, repeats the main hook a meagre six times, and the 'Bayla' section appears just once. Shakira wrote a new section, which includes the words 'Hips Don't Lie' and occurs three times, functioning like a new refrain. A new rap, the frequent cheering ('Shakira! Shakira!'), and the Columbian percussion add to the general celebratory feel.
A structural novelty is that the main hook is only featured in the beginning and the middle of the song, but not at the end — contrary to the original, which follows the common format of repeating the main hook at the end. Add the new version's short length, and the structure seems to compel listeners to put it on again, and again, perhaps explaining why it was the most-often played song in a single week in the history of American radio.
Musing on the phenomenal success of 'Hips Don't Lie' and the central part Shakira played in it, Tsai comments "The initial idea was to do a remix with Shakira singing the part of Claudette, but when she came to the studio, she became so excited about the song that they decided to redo it. She had a big influence on where she wanted the record to go. She was there from the beginning to the end, and it was fun, because she knows what she wants. We mixed her very upfront, because it was her record, there was no other way. The earlier version of the song was good, the new one is great. I think a lot of people relate to the world music thing. It has a strong party feel, and they really captured that."
Shakira insisted on being present for as many of the recording sessions as possible, and since she was in the middle of a world tour, the recordings for 'Hips Don't Lie' took place in a variety of locations, among them Miami, London, the Bahamas, Columbia, and, of course, New York, at Platinum Sound, the studio of Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis. Duplessis, aka 'Wonda' is Jean's cousin, and he also co-wrote and co-produced 'Hips Don't Lie'.
"During recording they were really vibing," recalls Tsai. "We started with Shakira in Miami and we always have the same setup, with Jerry playing MPC3000 and bass guitar, and guitars and keyboards in the room. She had all these musicians coming in, including at some stage a Columbian group. She wanted to have the same drums as on her single 'La Tortura' [2005], which were kind of reggaeton, so they created a drum loop and later in London replaced that with a programmed pattern, recorded by Gustavo [Celis, the other engineer on the song. Tracks recorded by him are marked GC in the Edit window screens]. We always have a microphone up, and I always have my SSL in record/mix mode, so I can instantly record, whatever is happening. For example, Shakira did a last-minute ad lib maybe two hours before we started printing the mix."
Final mixdown for 'Hips Don't Lie' was at Pacifique Studios in Los Angeles, where Tsai ran the Pro Tools Session through a 96-input K-series SSL desk. The session consisted of 93 tracks, but many of them were stereo, bumping the total number of audio voices to well over 100. "I had to do some submixing in Pro Tools," comments Tsai. "Track 65, for example, is a [Wy-]Clef vocal stem, and there are guitar stems and a keys stem. It may seem like a lot of tracks, but you can see that a lot is greyed out [ie. muted]. There are a lot of layered drums, with drum loops and live percussion. Things come in and out all the time, particularly in the rhythm — the beat moves all the time. And I combined many vocal ad libs, if they didn't occur in the same place."
When discussing how he treated the different elements of 'Hips Don't Lie', Tsai begins with its most important feature, Shakira's vocals. In this context there's first some controversy to get out of the way. There have been accusations that the Columbian singer's vocals on 'Hips Don't Lie' were heavily treated with Auto-Tune, and it has been held up as an example of the damage that unnecessary over-use of Antares' pitch-correction software does to the cause of music. "Everybody uses Auto-Tune these days, so of course there's some tuning on her vocals," replies the mixer. "But it's not heavy, heavy tuning. Most of the stuff that you hear is exactly how she sang it, without any tuning or other tricks. We tuned the vocal in process, so it wasn't like using a plug-in. And she does have that quality in her voice, she also sings in the Arabic scale. She can do things like that with her voice."
Whatever Tsai and the song's producers did or did not do to Shakira's vocals, her singing clearly lifts the song and nails the main hook. She brings a supple rhythmic feel that sits perfectly with the rhythm section. Tsai also remarks that Shakira's vocals didn't need a lot of work on his part, in contrast to Wyclef Jean's — not because the latter were of bad quality, but because, in the mixer's words "I had to create space for Shakira, and curve Clef's vocals around her's. The song was about her, and Clef's vocals were meant to complement. Most of what you hear is a single vocal by Shakira, and she carried that so cool. She sang seven harmony parts, but they're only used occasionally. By contrast, Clef's vocals had a lot of layers, so we had to make sure he didn't overtake her, which is why you see some radical EQs on his vocals."
Shakira's lead vocals: Urei LA2A, Sony S777, Lexicon 960L, Empirical Labs Fatso, Waves Renaissance De-esser and Renaissance Compressor
"I recorded Shakira with a Telefunken Elam 251 through a Neve 1073 mic pre, no EQ on the return in the mix, and only an LA2A on the insert. The reverb on her vocals was the S777, set to the small hall in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. There were certain words on which she didn't want any reverb, so we had to automate the reverb send on the SSL. The main reverb in the track was a delayed plate from the 960L, used in moderation. I don't like things that are overwhelmed by reverb. And I tell you one thing, I have not heard a plug-in sound as good as the 960L. It's a crazy box.
"You can have eight sends on an SSL — six auxes and cue left and right — and the first four are dedicated to my Lexicon 960L, which is fully loaded. I'll have a TC 2290 on another send, usually set to a quarter-note delay with a little panning. Aux six tends to be connected to a [Lexicon] PCM70, and the cue left and right to an Eventide H4500. When working in Pro Tools, I also use a lot of plug-ins, including delays and filtering. This is cool because you can go really deep into automating plug-ins.
"I still prefer the sound of analogue, which is why I like to mix through an SSL. One plus one is different in a computer than on an analogue desk. I also have the Inner Tube Atomic Squeezebox, which has eight vacuum tubes in it, and there's no way you can replicate the sound of that box in a computer. In the case of Shakira's vocals, I used the Fatso to thicken the sound a little bit. It's like tape simulation, it does harmonic compression or something. I often use it on vocals. I'll send things I want to process to bus 25-26, into the Fatso, and then bring that back to the board.
"The only plug-ins I used on Shakira's vocals were the Renaissance De-esser, just to get rid of any high sibilance above 4k and smooth things out, and the Renaissance Compressor, which is set very gently, with quite a long release of 50.2. It's not capturing a lot, because the threshold was way up at 1.6. The Renaissance and LA2A are pretty much doing the same thing, but I added the LA2A more for warmth. With digital recording you try to add as much warmth as you can. And the Elam is a $15,000 mic, so you don't want to mess too much with its sound. I was just trying to make the sound cut through, not over-process it."
Wyclef Jean's lead vocals: Inner Tube Atomic Squeezebox, Waves Renaissance EQ, Digirack EQ III
"I used the Atomic Squeezebox on Clef's vocals, not too much compression, just to add some warmth. There was a lot of radical EQ on his vocals, to create space for Shakira, mostly taking out low end, which you can see on the Renaissance and on the Digirack EQs. On the latter I also took out most of the mids. In general I like to take off any rumble from the room things are recorded in. I like to keep my low end clean, so I take out what's not necessary."
Horn sample: SSL G384, Digirack Mod Delay II, Waves PS22 Spread and L2 Ultramaximiser
"The loop was in stereo and came from the MPC3000. I used different effects on it than on the 'Dance Like This' original version. On 'Hips Don't Lie' I EQ'd the horns on the SSL on the return, and I may have bussed it to the C-bus to the SSL G384 compressor. I have four 384 compressors, and will have them on the A-bus, B-bus, C-bus, and D-bus, so I can play with the dynamics, send stuff to a bus and return it. The Mod Delay is set to eighth notes, mixed in at eight percent, to give it some space and make it trail a little longer. The delay goes into a PS22, just to spread things out a little bit more, and then into the L2, to maximise it and make it pump, so the horns always sound loud. Without it, they'd be less prominent."
Bass and guitars: Neve 1073 EQ, Tube-Tech EQ1, Urei 1176
"The sub-bass was a keyboard sound from a Roland XP80, or it might have been a sound from the MPC3000, I don't remember. It was played by Jerry [Wonda]. He also played a five-string bass guitar, for which I used a little compression and EQ via the board, with a Neve 1073, probably a Tube-Tech EQ1 and the 1176. I think I boosted around 100Hz and added a little brightness as well. I'm not 100 percent sure what settings — I go by feeling and try not to over-process things. The guitars on tracks 14-15 are marked NY, but were recorded in London. They were all live. I probably had a little chorus on them, some compression, and some EQ, but nothing in the computer."
Drums: Empirical Labs Distressor, Tube-Tech EQ1, Sony Oxford EQ, McDSP Filterbank F2, Waves L1 Ultramaximiser
"The key to this track is that there is a lot of low end, and it's very heavy on the drums and percussion, so that needed a lot of careful EQ. Track 22 is a drum loop made by Gustavo, and I've used the Sony Oxford EQ to bump things up around 75Hz and roll off below 50Hz. On the kick drum there's an EQ with an even bigger bump, +20dB at 50Hz! This kick drum was supporting the kick drum in the loop. I also had an EL8 [Distressor] and a EQ1 on the kick, I think, with a slight bump at 60Hz. Almost all the tracks marked GC are drums that replaced programmed drums.
"The bass drum breaks in the turnaround, where you only hear the bass drum with vocals, were programmed. Some of the kicks were programmed out of time on purpose, and Shakira laid her vocals over them exactly the way they sound. The drums in general had a reggaeton flavour, and so instead of the snare hitting two and four, it has a rolling snare. The snare was probably programmed. I use the McDSP Filterbank EQ to add around 142Hz, to make the snare sound cut through, and roll everything off below that, so it doesn't get in the way of the kick drum.
"I also put a 'reverb bomb' on track 23, which is a soft, low boom on the '1', that I maximise with the L1, so it comes through. It boosts everything above the threshold, and I set the ceiling to zero. You hear it on all the turnarounds. We did rides on the turnarounds, to make the beat move a little on the '1', and Shakira really liked this. These were all SSL rides, so we had to put the faders into really fast mode, and just do a little ride on the '1's and the turnarounds to bump these up a bit."
Percussion: Focusrite D2 and D3, Waves C1 Gate/Expander, Waves Q4 Parametric EQ
"There is so much stuff going on in the percussion that a lot of my treatments were done to make sure that everything has its own place. The C1 on the shaker has a threshold around 21dB, with quite a fast attack, and a fast release as well. The D3 I used on Archi Pena's percussion was also just to keep that sitting in the track. Just a little compression, nothing too heavy. I think it was some authentic hand drum — there were a couple of those on the track — and the compression just helps them to cut through a little better. It has a slow attack [109.8ms], just to catch slow, heavy things.
"I added EQ around 83Hz and 9045Hz using the Q4 on the percussion in the Cumbia section because you need some brightness on a record like this — it's a happy record. So I tried to get the brightness from this; plus you want it to cut through, and the high end also helps with that. The two tambora tracks, also in the Cumbia section, complement each other. One was a low sound, a boom, the other a stick thing with a higher sound. One was panned to the left and the other was panned to the right. I tried to make the lower tambora sound rounder, dipping heavily at 4.8k using the D2 to take all the mid out. I just wanted the low tone so it sounded better in combination with the higher sound, which I boosted at around 12k.
"I mixed back into Pro Tools. The Session was 44.1kHz/24-bit. I would have loved to have done it at a higher resolution, but it was way too big to go 88.2. I did print back at 88.2/24. We did a lot of print backs, lots of passes with vocals up or down a dB, so we had many different versions of where the vocals sit. In the end it was important to make it Shakira's song, and I think we accomplished that." And, one could say, with some understatement, a lot more...

Jesus called on people to change. Not just a little, but dramatically. The 'kingdom of God' is the term Jesus used to express his vision of a profound transformation of human beings and human institutions—social, political, economic and religious—to fully express the character and nature of God—a God of love. To accomplish this vision, Jesus worked toward the creation of a new kind of community dedicated to values of compassion, generosity, peace, and justice. He was creating a movement for change, a people engaged in a vast conspiracy of love.

To use the language of incarnation that is so central to John, Jesus incarnates the way. Incarnation means embodiment. Jesus is what the way embodied in a human life looks like."

Where did the idea come from?
The first idea was the story about Pauli, a young, unemployed man in Vienna but it provided too little material, and for a long time I wanted to make a film in the East. So I decided to do was bring the two together and have an East-West story.
I wrote a number of stories about people moving from East to West and from West to East but then cut it down to these two main stories. In Vienna you could find 10,000 stories of people like Olga, from the Ukraine, or Moldova, or Romania or the Balkans.
How much of the film is written in stone beforehand, and how much do you invent through while shooting?
The screenplay is there principally for the financing, for the preparation, for the casting. But when you're actually preparing to shoot, when you're doing the actual casting, when you're looking for locations, you have new ideas and then others are rejected.
I didn't know how the film would end, or rather how the two individual stories would end, but as you develop the material I then decided what would be right for Olga and what would be right for Pauli.
In the screenplay Pauli was going to end up working as an actor in porno films but it turned out that would have been entirely superfluous and unnecessary.
The film walks a fine line between documentary and fiction. Do you see much of a distinction?
Both interest me. The authentic, the documentary is very exciting but there's also freedom in fiction, in creating things, but what I think is most exciting is to have a fictional plot but embed it in a documentary context.
The result of that is you get maximum authenticity but you also get surprises which makes the film more than the sum of its parts. At times this feels more like a documentary than fiction.
That's part of the insecurity for the audience. But the film is so unflinching in its gaze and at times extremely difficult to watch.
You've said in the past you like to disturb the audience...
The idea is to disturb but not in a negative way. What I want to happen is for the audience to come out of the cinema different to how they went in. It's a constructive path in that sense.
What was it like filming in the Ukraine?
It was unimaginable to discover in winter that thousands of people live without sufficient heating or no heating at all, where it's almost as cold inside as it is out.
Your Ukrainian assistant director says he only saw you smile under extreme circumstances. Do you thrive on those conditions?
The case with extreme conditions is you get great scenes out of them, great images, which, of course, means I'm in a great mood when that happens.
Of course, you could interpret it the other way round, that I always laugh when other people suffer, but that's not how I see it.

Ferrets and sled dogs get EU pet passport boost
Published on Jun 10, 2013 10:24 PM
BRUSSELS (AFP) - Ferret, dog and cat owners got a boost from the European Union on Monday when it said it was broadening its pet passport scheme for animals that are taking part in competitions or sporting events.
The current limit of five pets that a person is allowed to bring across EU borders will be relaxed - so long as the owner can show that the animals are travelling for work and not for play.
"Under the new regulation owners may be exempted from that limit if they can prove that they are taking part with their animal in a competition, exhibition or sporting event (e.g. with a team of sledge dogs)," the EU said in a statement.
The new regulations, approved by the 27 EU member states on Monday, are set to come into force next year.

Taken from the SA website, "For the sexaholic, any form of sex with one's self or with partners other than the spouse is progressively addictive and destructive. We also see that lust is the driving force behind our sexual acting out, and true sobriety includes progressive victory over lust."
SLAA is a program that focuses on the relational component of the illness. This could involve multiple relationships, romance, or problematic fantasy about others or relationships as well as compulsive sexual behavior(s). An advantage of this program is that it deals with the relational components of the addiction. A drawback is that it tends to be more disposed towards women in LA.
As they say on their website, "We in S.L.A.A. believe that sex and love addiction is a progressive illness which cannot be cured but which, like many illnesses, can be arrested. It may take several forms - including (but not limited to) a compulsive need for sex, extreme dependency on one person (or many), and/or a chronic preoccupation with romance, intrigue or fantasy. An obsessive/compulsive pattern, either sexual or emotional (or both), exists in which relationships or sexual activities have become increasingly destructive to career, family and sense of self-respect. Sex and love addiction, if left unchecked, always gets worse."
SCA - Sexual Compulsives Anonymous
I'm not as familiar with this program and the next program. In LA, my understanding is that SCA is more widely attended by those in the LGBTQ community. Whereas SA clearly defines sobriety, and does so between a heterosexual couple, SCA is open to the expression of sexuality between couples - whether gay or straight.
Taken from their website, "Our primary purpose is to stay sexually sober and to help others to achieve sexual sobriety. Members are encouraged to develop their own sexual recovery plan, and to define sexual sobriety for themselves. We are not here to repress our God-given sexuality, but to learn how to express it in ways that will not make unreasonable demands on our time and energy, place us in legal jeopordy -- or endanger our mental, physical, or spiritual health."
SRA exists in LA, but is a smaller program. As they express it on their website, "Sobriety is the release from all compulsive and destructive sexual behaviors. We have found through our experience that sobriety includes freedom from masturbation and sex outside a mutually committed relationship."

How the Sha of Happiness conquered BlizzCon 2013
Inspired by Angryorc and other WoW-themed roleplay characters such as @Arakkoa on Twitter, Shappi (as she's popularly known) created the Sha of Happiness character to shine a little light into the WoW community at large. "I've been posting on the EU/NA Warcraft/D3 general forums and more for about five years now, and I've been disheartened at the farewell posts and them stating that it didn't feel like a home for them anymore," she explains. "Whether it be Sanctuary or Azeroth, everyone should have a safe space. I strive to provide something like that for people on Twitter."

A group of the top tour operators were given a sneak preview of the Kruger National Park's newest overnight facility, the Tsendze Rustic Campsite today (Thursday October 19, 2006).
Designed with a back-to-basics theme, Tsendze Rustic Campsite includes 34 camp sites, two ablution facilities and two camp kitchens. Scheduled to receive its first guests from November 1, 2006 onwards, the facility is conveniently located seven kilometres south of Mopani Rest Camp and about 20 kilometres north of the Giriyondo/Makhadzi turn off on the H1-6 main road between Letaba and Mopani rest camps.
Keeping with the theme of Tsendze Rustic Campsite, services provided have been kept to the basics with warm water from gas geysers and lighting in the kitchens and ablutions provided by a solar battery system. There will be no electricity supplied to the campers at the camp and generators will not be allowed to operate, thus ensuring that noise levels are kept to an absolute minimum.
Each campsite is equipped with a refuse bin and braai facilities with taps shared between every three campsites. Ablution blocks feature two unique "open-to-the-skies" showers. Guests will be required to check-in at Mopani Rest Camp Reception where a specific site will be allocated to them.

Apple's TouchID Fingerprint Scanner: Still Hackable
actually this is serous (70 comments)
From a legal standpoint if you are arrested, detained, pulled over, a cop cannot force you to unlock your phone without a court order. However the loophole is if they can get into your phone by responsible means, it falls into discovery (no password or using something stupid like 1234). One could argue since they already have your fingerprint, they are not forcing you to unlock your phone therefore it's free game.

Jul 5, 2013 - Awesome video. Video optimization has been creating a huge buzz for quite awhile now. With how YouTube is the second largest search engine, it makes perfect sense for marketers to emphasize on video optimization.

Hi all im a few years in and cant get enough trees. I have a pickering and a carrie, both potted. I was reading another thread where someone recomended buying a full size mango tree in addition to "condo" trees. Which sounded like a great idea since I was recomended to not harvest my dwarf trees for 2 years. :-( So please help me pick a new full size mango tree which will be potted and kept indoors till summer time greenhouse/sunroom in winter, I also plan on keeping this tree a bit bigger at 8-10' tall. |

Maybe a Maha Chinook, Lemon Zest or Sweet Tart????? |
By chance do you have any potted experience with any of these? |
- Posted by cmichael258 9a (My Page) on Fri, Jan 24, 14 at 18:10
I have the MC and LZ; however, both were 7 gal. purchased this Summer and are not very large. I did buy both with the intention of leaving in pot for at least a few years (and perhaps permanently). |
Sounds good. Did you get any fruit last year? I plan on getting a 7 gal too this summer. Im just not sure which one. To be compleetly honest I will probably end up just getting 2 more for a total of 4 POTTED mango trees! I'll order from pune island nursery so far im definitely getting a glenn and looking at another that I think ill realy like. Im concidering the golden nugget. Any input of either of these? |
- Posted by cmichael258 9a (My Page) on Sat, Jan 25, 14 at 19:20
No fruit from either tree. I want them to get larger before I do and the LZ has been a very slow grower. Good luck with the additional 2. |
Thanks. Good luck to you as well. |
Tyga - my humble opinion is that the Gold Nugget is not a top tier mango! I have one though (but in the ground) I've never tasted it's fruit, but from what I've read there are better choices. I think just about any tree can remain in a pot with proper pruning - both root and canopy.. Maha Chinok, Glenn, Lemon Zest are all good....Pina Colada, Coconut Cream maybe....I love Kent and Keitt as well....so many good varieties out there.... not sure you can really go wrong with whatever you pick, including Gold Nugget..... Good Luck....MDog |
Thanks for the info Mdog. |
