Slip of the Tongue
04:06 min
Youth Slam
Director: Karen Lum
Producer: Youth Sounds Factory
Winner of the Jury Award
More About Slip Of The Tongue from Director Karen Lum
I shot and edited Slip of the Tongue last summer (2005) in various locations in downtown Oakland, CA, and in my own house. I used Final Cut Pro and other editing equipment at the youth media organization where I belong, Youth Sounds Factory.
Slip of the Tongue originated when I was asked to participate in a filmmakers conference in Connecticut in 2005. In order to go, I had to produce a one minute PSA that incorporated the theme of how youth are making a difference. Being a lover of spoken word, I wrote out a vague treatment about how many youth utilize poetry to change the world through self-expression. The organizers of the conference immediately rejected my treatment and told me that I needed to have a solid story line. Then one day, the idea suddenly came to: I would take a poetry recording and apply images to it. The slam poem "Slip of the Tongue†by my friend Adriel Luis stood out to me since it actually told a story and was structured just like a film with an introduction, conflict, climax and resolution. And so after 2 weeks, I finished my 1 minute PSA, and eventually, it turned into a complete 4 minute short.

For Easter, Watch People Smash Eggs on Their Foreheads — Daily Distraction
Seems like a waste of perfectly good eggs, doesn't it?
Seems like a waste of perfectly good eggs, doesn't it?
Do you like your eggs scrambled? Fried? Maybe an Omelet? Tell the truth, because it could tell us about your personality.
Who knew that an egg could say so much about you? In a recent study, researchers asked over 1,000 people about certain personality traits they have and the way they like their eggs cooked.
Though technically a religious holiday, Easter has become more synonymous with milk chocolate candies in the shapes of eggs and bunnies, fruity snacks in springy hues and all sorts of decadent desserts. Stock up on the goods in stores, but also think about making a few of your own delectable treats this year.

U.S. 'citizen diplomats' honored for volunteering abroad
By helping improve lives around the world, they rebuild the America's image abroad.
Courtesy of U.s. Center for Citizen Diplomacy
Donna Tabor never thought of herself as any kind of diplomat, associating the word with government emissaries "getting $200 haircuts to take expensive plane rides to meet with their counterparts from other governments."
But this week the former television producer from Pittsburgh was honored along with five other Americans for her accomplishments as a citizen diplomat: an ordinary American taking America's best qualities abroad through activities that improve lives and promote understanding.
In Ms. Tabor's case, a vacation in Nicaragua in 1992 led to a "passion for changing the world" that today has her helping Nicaraguan farmers send shade-grown coffee to the US while managing a gourmet restaurant with young former gang members and drug addicts.
Among the other Americans honored: a young woman from New Jersey whose student-run organization works to improve the lives of young people in Rwanda while also developing American students' understanding of Africa; a Montana mountain climber whose chance stay in a remote Pakistani village led to construction of a school – and a life dedicated to expanding education in Central Asia; and an Iraqi-born businessman promoting Arab understanding of America and opportunities for Arab-Americans.

Lydia Goehr, Columbia University - LICA Seminar Series 2009Date: 18 June 2009 Time: 4.30 pm LICA Seminar Series 2009. Speaker: Lydia Goehr, Columbia University. Venue: Lancaster University, Bowland North Seminar Room 10 Title: Broken strings, Dismembered Bodies: Paragonal Theses on the Embodiment and Disembodiment of Music Broken strings, Dismembered Bodies: Paragonal Theses on the Embodiment and Disembodiment of Music This talk explores different dimensions of a history of philosophy and the arts in which musical instruments have been broken or their players dismembered or otherwise disembodied. It considers several paradoxical theses: a thesis of music's disembodiment that demonstrates just how embodied the art of music is; a metaphysics of music that prefers a music that isn't heard; a musical view of the world in which the eye is awarded priority over the ear; and a celebrated conception of purely instrumental music that forgoes an interest in the instruments by which it is produced. The talk takes a strategically indirect approach: it asks what we can learn about music by looking at the painting, poetry, and philosophy that has competed with it. Lydia Goehr is Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University. In 2005, she received a Columbia University Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching and in 2007-8 received The Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC)'s Faculty Mentoring Award (FMA).

California, Berkeley, where she gave a series of lectures on Richard Wagner. In 2002-3, she was the visiting Aby Warburg Professor in Hamburg and a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. In 2005-6, she delivered the Royal Holloway-British Library Lectures in Musicology in London and the Wort Lectures at Cambridge University. In 2008, she was a Visiting Professor at the Freie Universität, Berlin (Cluster: "The Language of Emotions"). She is the author of The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music (1992; second edition with a new essay, 2007); The Quest for Voice: Music, Politics, and the Limits of Philosophy [essays on Richard Wagner] (1998); Elective Affinities: Musical Essays on the History of Aesthetic Theory [essays on Adorno and Danto] (2008), and co-editor with Daniel Herwitz of The Don Giovanni Moment.

In Response To: Re: You have a good idea (Peter D'Adamo)
I have been taking a suppliment called Pro-Anthocyanidins (Red WIne Grapes) that contain the tannins Peter was referring to. You can find them in most good health food stores. So you don't HAVE to drink wine to get the benefits of grapes... mind you, it's not as much fun!

The Safespot Integrated Project is a co-founded project by the European Commission Information Society Technologies among the initiatives of the Sixth Framework Program which has the aim of improving awareness of the vehicles surrounding situation through a concurrent and synergic behavior between vehicle and infrastructure.
Safespot integrates a communication system based on the standard 802.11p; specifically, it considers a cooperative environment where a Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is used to transmit safety-relevant information between vehicle and infrastructure units.
The availability of messages from other traffic actors greatly enriches and enhances the range of information available to the vehicles safety systems compared to more conventional systems that only use on-board sensors.
All of this information is used to warn the driver through a humanmachine interface using visual and acoustic messages.
It has been implemented the hard-ware architecture compliant with the Safespot system in a PTW (Powered Two-Wheeler) vehicle: it is designed in order to collect and store data retrieved from local sensors and from sensors belonging to other vehicles or to infrastructure units received through the network.
The work in progress is the implementation of applications which will perform dangerous scenario analysis and driver warning.

I would love to hear from you...
I promise to keep your information super duper top secret. Just as I do not want people spamming my inbox, the privacy of my readers to very important to me. I do gather some data from everyone who stops by my site, however none of this information is shared with outside parties, not even my husband. Also, for your own peace of mind: Damsel in Dior promises to not accept any products of sponsored posts from companies that I could not otherwise post about. ALL of my opinions are my own and no one can make me, or pay me, to think or write otherwise.
Damsel in Dior reserves the right to remove any previous posts without notice or explanation. I absolutely love hearing from readers and enjoy each and every comment. However, any comment deemed inappropriate or negative, including general spam, offensive comments or rude language, self promotional spam or other items unrelated to the post will be deleted without further notice or explanation.

It is true that I accept side bar advertisements in the form monthly sponsors approved by me or sponsors provided by a third party ad network. Trust me, I will not post anything I do not love {no matter how much they pay or how many items they send}.
Please be thoughtful when you are using any images taken from my blog. Each and every post you find here was designed by me {Jacey} exclusively for Damsel in Dior. If you Pin, Tweet, Facebook, Blog, etc please care about the time and effort I've put into the post and link back to the original content which you found here. All layouts, designs, original test, blog headers and photo's must be credited and linked to the original post with written permission.

I am more than happy to team up with like-minded brands/companies to collaborate on all things style related. However, these posts will be written in my own words, using my own brain and reflect my own opinion. Please contact me for more information on pricing etc… at email@example.com
Damsel in Dior works very diligently to establish a valued network of advertisers that readers can relate to and benefit from. If you feel your company/brand is a good fit for the blog, please e-mail email@example.com.
I am a size 0-2, Small, 26 in Jeans and 8 in Shoes.
I work with various photographers but my Los Angeles "go to" is Felicia Lasala. My husband also snaps a few from time to time and we use a Canon 6D with a 50mm lens. While we are completely flattered to hear compliments on our photos, we actually use the "wing it" strategy and have no photography training.
I created Damsel in Dior in September 2011.
Yes, but I do not write solely for Damsel in Dior. In fact, I started Damsel in Dior after I was already writing for several other online publications. I consider myself a freelance writer/blogger and I work from home. However, Damsel in Dior has recently become my #1 priority.
My #1 piece of advice to people who want to blog is to start a blog. Start writing, compiling images and getting your thoughts down. You can worry about the aesthetic later. The branding and overall idea for a blog is the hardest part in my mind. I would also suggest taking a Photoshop class {or Illustrator, InDesign, etc…} to help polish your graphics as well as investing in a nice{ish} camera. Images are everything and so is having original content. What is original content? An example of "original content" are my "What I Want Wednesday" posts. This is an editorial series I created and design all of the graphics myself. I would also suggest getting connected in social networks such as IFB and attending conferences such as ALT Summit {which I went to starting out}. Also, commenting on other blogs and engaging with other bloggers is a great way to network and build friendships inside the blogging community. E-mail blogger friends and ask if they'd be interested in collaborating to help spread the love.
I truly wish I had an easy answer for this one other than this: It wasn't easy and it still isn't easy. I suppose sticking to the formula that you have to treat your blog as a business is helpful. Create an editorial calendar and stick to it so that your readers know what to expect. Engaging with fellow bloggers and making friends definitely helps so that you both promote each other. Growing your readership takes a lot of time, patience and persistence but if you are dedicated, hard working and create unique and original material, the readers will come.
While I find this question a little personal {well, how do you make money?, HA!}, I completely, 100% understand why people ask it. Blogging is a new industry to make money in and it can be very confusing to people as to how a blogger makes money. I use affiliates such as RewardStyle that provides me with special links to use in my posts. In return, I may receive a small commission {a percentage of the sales}. Not all of the products I post on this blog are linked with affiliate sites and the program 100% positively does NOT affect what I choose to put on the blog. Occasionally, I will work with brands and companies and do a sponsored blog post or fun video, however I will not post about anything that I wouldn't otherwise post about {for free}. You can read more about this in my "Policies" section.
I use Yvonne for color and Joseph for cut, both are at MeCHE salon in Beverly Hills, CA. I absolutely hate getting my hair done so, as I'm sure you've noticed, I usually let my roots grow in until it's on the verge of ridiculousness.
These questions go hand in hand because for me, I am always blogging. 24/7. Damsel in Dior is a reflection of the style in which I live my life, so the blog has to follow the pace of my life. If I'm not at the computer physically blogging, I am either out taking photo's, brainstorming a blog, writing down ideas, dreaming up new material, meeting with people, taking conference calls or documenting my experiences so that I can share them with you. While I don't get to take a vacation or time off, I can't complain because I have designed it that way and I absolutely love what I do. However, an actual writing of a blog and graphic design can take between 1-3 hours depending on the content.
I am so very lucky to have something to do every day that I cannot wait to wake up and do. Blogging is a combination of all of my infatuations: photography, style, computers, graphics and most of all: writing. It's a never ending obsession that I am blessed to be able to call my career. The absolute best part about blogging is when I hear from readers, brands and fellow bloggers, because if it weren't for them, Damsel in Dior would not exist.
The misconception that it's "easy" and having people judge that this is what I treat as my full time job. It's also difficult on days when I just want to go make-up less and throw on a t-shirt and sweats and not have my picture taken…but those days seldom exist. It's a good problem to have.
I create all of my graphics using Adobe Photoshop. The incredibly amazing and talented Gadabout Creative designed my blog & logo.

WHMS 7th grader wins county spelling championshipBy B.J. Williams Administrator Carolina Santiago (center) wins the 2014 Hall County Spelling Bee. 2nd runner-up Pratham Adajania is on Santiago's left and 1st runner-up Evelyn Karkalamudi is to her right
OAKWOOD - Carolina Santiago, a 7th grade student at West Hall Middle School, is no stranger to the Hall County Spelling Bee. She remembers all too well how she missed one letter in the word 'malachite' a year ago.
"I said m-a-l-o and is was m-a-l-a," said Santiago. This year, however, Santiago, was flawless and spelled her way to a first place finish in the county competition, spelling the word 'howitzer' for the win. The 7th grader acknowledged that the other words she was dealt (annihilation, macrocosm, comedienne, for example) were words she had studied, but the winning word was new to her. "I though it was h-o-u, but then I thought of the word 'how'...and so, I was like, okay," she said. Then she dove right in, and spelled her winning word correctly. Santiago, a native of Cuba who speaks both English and Spanish, said she has always loved reading, and when she was a little girl, she always selected books over toys when given a choice. Santiago's closest competitor was Evelyn Karkalamudi from Chestnut Mountain Elementary School. The 4th grader was one of the youngest competitors in the group of 31 students. She stumbled on the word 'bayou,' but she will travel with Santiago to the District Spelling Bee, which is scheduled for March 1 in Winder. The 2nd runner-up in the competition was Pratham Adajania, a 6th grader from South Hall Middle School. West Hall Middle School hosted this year's competition at Blackshear Place Baptist Church. © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / 2005 / Mayor Announces Asset Management Review Findings |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2005 Release M-106
Mayor Mufi Hannemann today announced the Asset Management Review Team has completed its study and made a wide range of recommendations. The blue-ribbon panel of 11 business leaders was established on May 31 to examine all 700 parcels of real estate owned by the City and how the City manages them. The review team found the City lacks a comprehensive and coherent policy or strategy to manage its assets. That has resulted in a number of more specific obstacles and situations such as Block J being "sold" several times. The team found many of the assets do not relate to the City's core missions and divert resources from other, more essential properties. The review team recommended that the City develop a clear and consistent policy for asset management that takes into account City priorities and that asset management be consolidated under an asset manager. "We are currently reviewing the Asset Management Review Team's full report, but we wanted to share some of those insights with the public," said Mayor Hannemann. "We have not made any final decisions on the team's recommendations but we believe several of them merit further discussion." The team made several specific recommendations that it feels will realign the City's asset portfolio with its priorities. They include: · Sell City-owned affordable rental housing properties and their associated commercial and parking areas, while ensuring that the properties are kept in affordable rentals. · Sell one of the three City golf courses in the Waipahu-Ewa area (West Loch, · Redevelop the Kaimuki parking lots. · Establish a public-private partnership to manage the Honolulu Zoo. Since the team completed its work, the City received an offer for In order to follow up on the review team's work, the City has issued and received responses to a request for professional services for an asset management consultant. That consultant, once selected, will help develop a coherent strategy for managing the City's assets and will assist the City in reviewing and selling assets. The Asset Management Review Team was created as an outgrowth of the Mayor's Review, a comprehensive look at City finances and operations that was completed in the opening months of the Hannemann administration. Jeffrey Dinsmore, former Victoria Ward Ltd. General manager and vice president of development-Hawaii Region for General Growth Properties, was chairman of the Asset Management Review Team. -30- Contact: Bill Brennan, 527-6928 Mark Matsunaga, 527-5767 |

Media's Weird Ethics: Pretending to Be Someone Else Is Worse Than Facilitating Global Catastrophe
By 56 Comments
There's a popular verb in headlines about climate researcher Peter Gleick's admission that he used trickery to get damning documents out of the climate change-denialist group the Heartland Institute: "Activist Says He Lied to Obtain Climate Papers" (New York Times, 2/21/12); "Scientist Peter Gleick Admits He Lied to Get Climate Documents" (L.A. Times, 2/21/12); "Climate Researcher Says He Lied to Obtain Heartland Documents" (WashingtonPost.com, 2/21/12). What you wouldn't gather from all these pants-on-fire condemnations is that there is a long and honorable tradition, from Nellie Bly feigning madness to expose mistreatment of the mentally ill to the Chicago Sun-Times' Mirage […]

Cases and Culture

In Utilitarianism, John Stuart Mill wrote that "[t]here exists no moral system under which there do not arise unequivocal cases of conflicting obligation" (1957, ¶2.25). This is what makes the practice—as well as the teaching—of bioethics so difficult and the reason that many students and members of the general populace are wont to believe that doing "the right thing" is relativistic. Engaging in careful, protracted moral reflection, particularly in cases that clearly present such "conflicting obligation," is hard. It is intellectually and emotionally taxing as well as time-consuming, requiring material resources and ongoing, honest dialogue with others. Unfortunately, our modern systems of biomedicine that train health care professionals are hard-pressed to include in curricula (in meaningful and lasting ways) "people skills," communication skills, and cultural competence, not to mention the philosophical foundations of ethics that might guide practitioners through tough cases.

Salmon With Roasted Grapes and Thyme
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Healthy Recipes, May 22, 2013
A few weeks back I posted a curried quinoa salad recipe. Over the winter I ate that salad as a main dish or lunch but recently I decided to pair it with a protein for a new dinner option. I decided to use salmon because it cooks up in the oven in no time and I don't have to fuss over it. I love topping fish with roasted tomatoes but didn't like the idea of the tomatoes with the curried quinoa so I opted for grapes which act similarly to tomatoes in many recipes. The sweet roasted grapes paired with savory thyme was a delicious addition to my already tasty grain salad.

Meditation, hypnosis change 'brain signature'
Amir Raz gets some funny looks when he talks about using hypnosis and meditation techniques to build attention spans in a hyperactive MTV world.
"Mention contemplation to a lot of people, and all they think of is some kind of (wacky) spiritualism, people sitting around a darkened room with candles, chanting," says Raz, a McGill University professor who holds the Canada Research Chair in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Attention.
"Our ideas are shaped by Hollywood movies. So you talk about hypnosis, and people see something out of a Woody Allen movie, a guy in a turban with bushy eyebrows who wants to put you to sleep."
But "trim away the folkloric fat," and Raz, a cognitive psychologist who worked his way through graduate …

Samsung SyncMaster 955DF 19" Monitor Review - PAGE 1
Austin Bailey - Tuesday, May 8th, 2001 Like Share
Looking Closer
Even a short while ago, a budget 19 monitor would usually have a screen with high curvature and have limited controls. By contrast, the 955DF has a perfectly flat screen, and an abundance of controls whose functions are equal to more expensive monitors. The controls layout of the 955DF is nearly identical to that of its more expensive brethren, the 900NF, which we praised for its intuitive and easy to use controls. Here again the controls are well thought out and very easy to use. The control panel is completely hidden from view, and pops out with a simple touch. Amazingly, Samsung has packed this monitor with some pretty advanced control features, such as adjustments for RGB color, linearity, clear moiré, and focus.
Performance Without the Cost
Because of the price of the monitor, we were pleasantly surprised by the objective performance of the 955DF. The monitor shipped to us with some geometry problems most of which we managed to correct using the extensive controls, but we never managed to correct the slight pincushion, bottom screen distortion, and straight line linearity discrepancies. This also resulted in some noticeable smear patterns and a fairly noticeable moiré effect in finely patterned test screens. Focus and sharpness were the monitors strong points test patterns showed an extremely uniform sharpness throughout the screen that was impressive even compared to monitors in the $400 range. Where the monitor actually falls somewhat behind is in pure color performance and color gradient performance. Black and white purity and gradient tests found the 955DF to be far below the 900NF in black/white sensitivity and purity. Grey gradients were not easily distinguishable, and pure whites lacked vibrancy. Pure colours and colour gradients were around average. None of these flaws really mar the value of the monitor, though we were most disappointed with the pure colour tests, where we found that individual colours did not separate crisply from each other.
In subjective tests, the monitor performed extremely well another sure sign that objective results do not always appear obvious in real world usage. High resolution pictures were colorful and looked good at a glance. There was some noticeable hazing on pictures with fine details, such as the detail found in swirls of mist or groups of clouds, but we think that in most applications you will not notice any significant loss of detail or image quality. In gaming stills we found the monitor to be around average for a 19 monitor. Colours in games appeared slightly washed out, especially in games with dark thematic undertones which is something to be expected considering the weaker grey gradient performance of the monitor and its weak pure color purity test results.
Overall, the monitor performs quite admirably for this price range. In spite of the few flaws we do find, you will notice little problems when using the monitor for day to day windows applications or in gaming. If you are a discriminating gamer with a keen eye for detail and colour quality, youll probably want to pass on this monitor. If you do CAD or precision graphics work where colour accuracy is important, youll likewise want to look for a more professional grade monitor. Nobody is claiming this monitor will suit the needs of a graphics professional, but Samsung has definitely placed the 955DF in a position to appeal to the average consumer with a need for a classy and low-cost 19 flatscreen monitor.

For the first few days it was okay. Then there was a small red dot on the screen.
The same thing goes with my first Lcd Monitor: Sync 151s.
I thought it was a manufacturing defect since it was there the moment i start using it.
But i guess it's not. My second monitor also have the same problem. What happened? Any Idea?

Comments about Coleman Signature Outdoor Gear Propane Lantern:
First time, I have ever had a lantern but loved during last year when I took it hunting. I loved the light output and quality of lantern itself. I used on tank in a three day trip but mostly was on high and then I still had fuel on the early morning of the fourth day, which I used the lantern in the morning at the time of packing up to go home. Operating instructions need to be more defined or simply saying that the lantern must be match lit first before the general use of the northstar lit system.

When my son was born, the doctor saw that his testicle was very swollen and blue. I can say that it looked very bad and we and the doctor didn't know what was wrong with him. At two days old he went to surgery and the doctors had to take the testicle because it was twisted and they could not save it.
The doctor says that this probably happened to him a few days before the birth. When my son turns 5 years old, he will get another surgery to put in a fake testicle.

Credit disbursement for women entrepreneurs grew 85.40 percent during 2010-2013 mainly due to the simplification of loan conditions, Bangladesh Bank said in a statement yesterday.
Banks and non-bank financial institutions disbursed a total of Tk 3,346.55 crore to 41,695 women entrepreneurs in 2013, according to the central bank. They gave away Tk 1,804.98 crore to 13,831 entrepreneurs in 2010.
The BB has already instructed all banks and non-bank financial institutions to provide women entrepreneurs with collateral-free loans up to a certain limit at low interest rates.
Women entrepreneurs are also receiving loans from the central bank's refinancing scheme on a priority basis, BB Executive Director Nirmal Chandra Bhakta said in a press briefing yesterday.
The central bank called the press briefing to announce the schedule of a daylong "women entrepreneurs' conference and product display" to be held on Thursday to encourage women to borrow more from the financial institutions.
The BB will organise the conference and the fair in association with CARE Bangladesh, Japan International Cooperation Agency and Standard Chartered Bank at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel in the city.
More than 1,000 women entrepreneurs, who took loans from different banks and financial institutions, and chiefs of all leading chambers and associations are expected to attend the conference.
BB Governor Atiur Rahman is scheduled to inaugurate the conference.
The conference will comprise two panel discussions on "women in business networking and organisation" and "responsibility of different stakeholders in women SME development".

I managed to get my mom to cooperate, and I now have a "doctor's appointment" at 2 P.M. tomorrow. Note the quotation marks. My plan to skip the dreaded pep rally has succeeded! Now if I can just skip the next 4 or so, I'll be all good. I'm sure they'd get suspicious if I suddenly had various health issues every time we had a pep rally, though.
Why do I hate pep rallies so much? Well, the ones at my school are insufferably lame. If you've sat through one, you've sat through them all. The gym has no air conditioner, and having the entire middle school and high school packed in there does not help things. I have absolutely no school spirit, and most of our cheerleaders aren't even that cute, anyway! There is, however, one thing that makes me want to avoid them like the plague. That, my friends, is the game. (Haha, I'm sorry!) No, not that game, the pep rally game. They always have a stupid game in which someone from each grade is randomly selected to have to play. There is no fate regarded as more horrifying than being picked for the game. If you are picked, you must go and embarrass yourself in front of the entire student body. Oh, yes. I've never been picked, but there is a first time for everything.
Man, I really hate my school. I guess that's fairly obvious, though. Nice teachers are rare. Many of the ones I have this year are either passive-aggressive bitches or they treat their classroom like it's Nazi Germany and instate some kind of freaky, totalitarian dictatorship from Hell. I like two of them, and that's about it.
Anyway, enough school ranting! I'm sure you guys all want the latest French Class Girl report. In French class, she told me all about the time she saw her dream girl, although she didn't call her that. I think the phrase "the most gorgeous girl in the universe" pretty much qualifies, though. Of course, she described the girl's hair in very, very vivid detail. She then proceeded to fart and blame it on Irritating Girl.
The best part of the day, though, was when she and IG told me that they found one of my friends to be quite cute. This friend is female. Immediately after school I gathered up all my other friends who knew about FCG, ran up to her, and broke the news. I have never seen someone look so horrified in all my life.
Her: What's going on? Why is everyone gathered around me...?
Other Friend: Tell her, Super Duck.
Me: My freakazoids think you're cute.
Her: ((gaping, open-mouthed expression of abject horror))
Oh, my god, now I can't let her go anywhere alone at school or else they might jump her and attempt to make her their bitch or something. That seems like a very FCG-ish thing to do, you know.
But I'm not sure I'd go to that great of lengths to avoid them. They are really hot and stuffy, though. I really don't like them.
No one escapes from life alive
about the pep rallies, I was unfortunate ehough to get piavked though, it was terrible, and my school has this yelling contest and we had to yell our classes graduating years, and whomever was loudest won...what did we win you ask?soar throats and headaches, thats it :(
have fun avoiding the next 4
Lots of people skipped the pep rally today... In my post, I said my school is occasionally run like it's Nazi Germany. Today was one of those times. They were going to literally call roll for everyone in the entire school and make sure no one was skipping or else there would be consequences. Smart people, however, planned ahead and had a cooperating parent feign an appointment. You know what I think its weird? They treat their pep rallies like they're sacred, and yet no one gives a shit if people skip academic assemblies. Hmm.

NSW on brink of war against locusts
PUBLISHED: 09 Aug 2010 11:37:17 | UPDATED: 09 Aug 2010 11:43:30PRINT EDITION: 09 Aug 2010
Farmers are expecting the worst locust plague in 30 years Photo: Jason South
Farmers are being urged to join a coalition of the willing as NSW faces the worst locust plague in a generation.
The pernicious pest is predicted to run riot this spring, with wet, warm weather last summer and autumn providing ideal egg laying conditions.
Those eggs are about to hatch, and the NSW Farmers Association and the state government are warning the locust swarms between August and November could be the largest seen for 30 years.
The first locusts are expected to appear in the state's north and far west, but central NSW and the Riverina are expected to be worst hit.
The state government unveiled its new Locust Co-ordination Centre in Orange on Monday as part of an $18.5 million response, with Primary Industries Minister Steve Whan urging farmers to form an effective coalition.
The centre will be used to determine where, when and how insecticide is deployed as well as closely monitoring swarm levels and particular hotspots.
There are also regional control centres in Dubbo and Wagga Wagga on standby to co-ordinate local efforts.
"Today marks the beginning of the official campaign," Mr Whan said in a statement on Monday.
"I have received a briefing from the Plague Locust Commissioner at Plague Locust State Co-ordination Headquarters and I am confident we are ready and battle lines are drawn.
"Surveillance, mapping, logistics and co-ordination teams are finalised and ready."
But Mr Whan said farmers must take the fight to the insects.
"To successfully minimise the impact of the plague we need an effective coalition of forces and that's why today I call on the state's farmers and land managers to join us and play their part," he added.
NSW Farmers Association president Charles Armstrong applauded the measures, saying the government's response was reassuring.
"When you start talking about these levels of insecticides, planes to spray them ... it starts to get very expensive. This sort of money being spent is reassuring," he said on Monday.
He said farmers were as prepared as could be expected, but couldn't really take any action until locusts began hatching.

Seriously Confused. Need Evergreen Bed Help!
I've tried really hard to do a lot of research but I still can't seem to come up with a plan that I like. Can someone save me from the constant banging my head against the wall? Also some help identifying some of the plants in my inspiration photos would help. I'm not very good at this. :( Not sure about what plants, spacing, positioning after all this time looking and reading. I'm in NJ zone 7a.
I have a small corner of the front landscape that I've been unhappy with and I'd like to convert it into a small evergreen garden bed. There are currently 2 arborvitae, about 5' tall 3.5' diameter in the space. I'd like to fill in the front (bottom in plan) and the side by the driveway with some more evergreen shrubs to fill it in and give it a nice layered look. I already have a plan on what to plant between the arborvitae. I want a multitextured/colored look that's neat but not manicured looking.
So far I've been considering azaleas, euonymus, wintercreeper, dwarf blue juniper. I like the japanese barberry but don't want an invasive plant but found Loropetalum Purple Pixie which has similar color. It seems to be low growing.
Here's what the area looks like now plus how I plan to shape/mulch the bed.
Here are some photos from around my neighborhood and around the web that have the look I'm going for. Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated.
Landscaping is about the creation of space, but the project you present is instead about the creation of an object. So it's hard to understand and relate to it as there is no context of space conveyed by your plan photo. What I can say about it is get rid of that triangle of grass that I've X'd out. As well as being odd visually, it will be a maintenance difficulty. A fluid connection between the mulch areas would be better.
As far as identifying plants in your pictures, the variegated one in second row looks like variegated dogwood. the last picture looks like dwarf yaupon holly. Other than that I see miscellaneous low-growing Juniper, Barberry, blue spruce, dwarf alberta spruce, dwarf mugho pine and hydrangea. But for ID you need to provide pictures larger than postage stamp size. It would be better for you to search Google Images for "dwarf evergreens" and just hover over the pictures to find out the plant names. For submitting pictures to a Gardenweb forum for ID, there are probably better forums other than landscape design... like "evergreens" or "your state".
Thank you for your help. I understand this is not the ideal situation. I'm just trying to make the best of the way things are. After much thought I've determined it's not a good idea to move the arborvitae for a number of reasons. It doesn't seem like a lot of thought was put into the original placement of the arborvitae. The location I think allows it to be treated as a small vignette. I'd just be happy if someone with more experience or a better eye could come up with a good arrangement so I don't wind up with a large empty mulch bed in front.
The inspiration photos I posted are thumbnails if you click on them you should see a larger one.
I've googled almost every related term I can think of I'm still stuck. This page was helpful for finding some shrubs. http://www.donnan.com/shrubs_evergreen.htm
The curve looks much nicer. Thank you.
Maybe we can start with what types of low growing shrubs others have used to plant around the base of small evergreens like these arborvitae? Pictures would be helpful.
If it helps... this is front rendering of the area. I can't take a photo because of some work going on there right now.
And this is kind of where I tend to get stuck and not liking where I'm going.
Yellow shrubs on the side are a yellow winterceeper.
Light green in the middle are green mound juniper.
On the left is a dwarf blue star juniper but looking for something like a low evergreengroundcover.
The red one is a fire nandina. Really liked the first photo in the second row and want to try and find something like that.
Purple is the purple pixie. Not sure if it fits.
Well, Tomjersey, the goal you're after doesn't jive with my ideas about landscaping so I'm limited in the suggestions I can make. Maybe someone else will jump in. Looking at some pictures of Buchart Gardens--which is renowned for the Candyland garden style--I notice that most beds are comprised of widely spaced, larger mound or cone shaped plants surrounded by beds of lower level, interconnecting plant masses. The masses are a patchwork quilt comprised of small curving groups of like plants. Everything is curving. There don't seem to be any straight lines. Neither are there "gateways"... where two matching plants flank a space (let's stretch it... or a singular object. I'm not talking about gateways for a PATH, but for their beds.) In your proposal, you're violating these two... I can't call them rules, as they're based on the whim of a certain garden style, so you're violating the Buchart code of arranging. Rather than relying on primarily pairs of matching plants, you might try working with three like plants that "encircle" adjacent plants. You don't have much room, so there's just not going to be so much variety in this little space. As it is things seem quite jammed together.
Thank you for continuing to respond. Your replies are helping me to narrow down what I'm going for.
The Buchart picture you posted is what I'm going after in terms of variety of size, texture and color except I'm looking for more muted colors. The problem is trying to replicate that in such a small space doesn't translate well.
Trying to surround the trees with the same type of plant is what gave me the candles in a wreath feeling I didn't like. Here's an example.
I found a Kaleidoscope Abelia that I think will work well in terms of color texture and size. Here's a picture of it in an arrangement like I'm dealing with.
I know this is unusual. Not a lot of thought seemed to go into the placement of the trees and I'm trying to find a way to make them work a little better in the space. Right now there's just grass around the trees which makes mowing a pain.
So far I've figured this out.
I want the shrubs to grow jagged and natural so they have a soft feel and don't require trimming to keep them in specific shapes but I do want a general flow that moves towards the ground around the perimeter.
I need a selection of shrubs that grow about 2' tall to go up against the base of the trees.
Then some smaller 8-16" shrubs to go outside of those and then possibly some ground cover.
Does that sound about right?
I'd like a mix of colors and textures that work together and I want them to be evergreen and hopefully non toxic to pets.
I'll try asking in the conifer forum as well but can you think of any shrubs that fit these criteria that neither you or I have mentioned?
By the way. If I don't make a decision and get the plants by this weekend I'm going to have to wait about a month before I can plant them. Is waiting that long good or bad as far as plant selection and timing for planting.
I don't know if this is a help or not. What rubs me the wrong way to begin with are the larger plants so close to the driveway. Just toying around with your photo, I ditched those two and it looks better to me on account of it. (Promise not to tell I did this...)
It looks nice but I don't want to get rid of any of the trees. This all started months ago when I planned on transplanting them to another location where I could start fresh but for various reasons I can't put that much effort into removing them right now.
It won't look perfect but it will hopefully look better than what it looks like now.
Let's try this... Forget about the shape, the location. What are some plants that are less than 3' tall that you think go well planted along with arborvitae in general?
It would be better for you to take photos that show the ideas you are considering to the garden center and let them show you what would work and is AVAILABLE now. If you fall in love with something in an online picture, it may require a long, hard hunt in order to find it in real life. See what's at the garden center ready to go home now.
I've had mixed results with my garden center so I like to research plants before I go there. This week is going to be hectic and I'm hoping to get the plants this weekend and do my research this week.
If you or others could throw out a list of shrub varieties I can look into I'd really appreciate it.
In case any one's still reading this.
I also posted in the Shrubs forum trying to get more help.
I'm having a hard time describing the look I want. A mixture of textures colors and sizes.
These two pictures have that feel I'm looking for.
From http://www.renegadegardener.com/
From http://www.nrouges.tk/my-garden-in-may-kyle-of-lochalsh-scottish-highlands.html
I'm thinking you'd be wise to take your inspiration pics to a local nursery that is known for their expertise and plant selection.
If you provide the dimensions and sun exposure this area gets, I'm thinking they would be able to assist you in specific plant selection for your area.
If NJ is like it is here, even the best nurseries are fairly picked over for selection at this time of year. You might want to wait till spring and not be limited to what they have on hand late in the year.
Plantings in a planting bed are not my strength so I'll refrain from giving advice. Good luck.

The glucose tolerance test is a lab test to check how your body breaks down sugar.
Tests to screen for diabetes during pregnancy are done differently.
Oral glucose tolerance test
The most common glucose tolerance test is the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Before the test begins, a sample of blood will be taken.
You will then be asked to drink a liquid containing a certain amount of glucose (usually 75 grams). Your blood will be taken again every 30 to 60 minutes after you drink the solution.
The test may take up to 3 hours.
A similar test is the IV glucose tolerance test (IGTT). It is rarely used, and is never used to diagnose diabetes. With IGTT, glucose is injected into your vein for 3 minutes. Blood insulin levels are measured before the injection, and again at 1 and 3 minutes after the injection. The timing may vary.
Make sure you eat normally for several days before the test.
Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before the test. You cannot eat during the test.
Ask your health care provider if any of the medicines you take can affect the test results.
Drinking the glucose solution is similar to drinking very sweet soda.
Serious side effects from this test are very uncommon. With the blood test, some people feel nauseated, sweaty, light-headed, or may even feel short of breath or faint after drinking the glucose. Tell your doctor if you have a history of these symptoms related to blood tests or medical procedures.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Glucose is the sugar the body uses for energy. Patients with untreated diabetes have high blood glucose levels.
Most often, the first tests used to diagnose diabetes in persons who are not pregnant are:
Glucose tolerance tests are also used to diagnose diabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test is used to screen for, or diagnose diabetes in people with a fasting blood glucose level that is high, but is not high enough (above 125 mg/dL) to meet the diagnosis for diabetes.
Normal blood values for a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test used to check for type 2 diabetes in those who are not pregnant:
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A glucose level than is higher than normal may mean you have pre-diabetes, diabetes, or gestational diabetes.
Between 140 and 200 mg/dL is called impaired glucose tolerance. Your doctor may call this "pre-diabetes." It means you are at increased risk of developing diabetes over time.
A glucose level of 200 mg/dL or higher is used to diagnose diabetes.
Serious stress to the body, such as from trauma, stroke, heart attack, or surgery, can raise your blood glucose level. Vigorous exercise can lower your blood glucose level.
Some medicines can raise or lower your blood glucose level. Before having the test, tell your health care provider about any medicines you are taking.
You may have some of the symptoms listed above under the heading titled "How the test may feel."
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
