Gareth Bale has failed to attend training at Tottenham on Tuesday as otherwise expected, as Real Madrid continue to wait on a potential deal.
The Welshman has returned to the UK after a weekend break in Marbella in the south of Spain, amid reports in England that Real Madrid's proposed world record move for the 24-year-old is facing competition from other clubs.
Whilst Andre Villas-Boas indicated his provisional belief that Bale would be back with the London club on Tuesday to begin recovery work on a foot injury, reports are that the winger has not turned up.

The midfielder started his first game for almost three months as the Darts held high-flying Cambridge to a draw on their own patch.
Noble's previous start was against Alfreton on December 21, when he was sent-off for the second time in a month and the fourth time in 16 months.
But after impressing in recent cameo appearances from the bench, Noble deserved – and subsequently took – his chance to impress from the start on Saturday.
Darts boss Tony Burman said: "I needed to bring Nobes back in. I felt he was ready to come back in.
"I had a chat with him before the game because I wanted him to do all the right things and let people talk about him for the right reasons."
Noble clearly heeded Burman's advice because he was the best player on the pitch at Cambridge.
He said: "The manager told me to keep my composure, not to get frustrated if things weren't going well.
"You've got to take your chance when the manager calls on you, however long it's for. You just want to do a job for him."

choosing citrus/fortunella variety for potted norther trees
I am curious how people choose their variety of citrus. I grow a lot of veggies and fruits and i can assure you that as good as my produce is, I can get better tasting of the same at a fruit stand or grocery store when they pick it right. I can tell when it is not right. I can also get it at $0.40 / lb to $1.33 /lb for citrus. Kumquats at $7.00 /lb even if they can be found are worth growing at home The tree are tough. The fruit is small so the tree can get a lot of fruit out with out straining and they ripen all winter long while other trees a dormant. To me the kumquat is the only citrus type fruit worth growing up north.
Can any of you other citrus,ers share how you chose your tree varieties.
I choose my varieties based on how they taste off a tree. I have the luxury of living in "citrus country", so I can sample my CRFG friends' citrus products, go up to UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection or the Riverside Heritage Citrus Grove and taste test there. And, based on reports of various cultivars from some of my expert citrus friends. I have found that picking straight off the tree nearly always trumps anything I can get at a supermarket, and even from the farmer's market. And that's saying a lot, living in S. California, in the heart of citrus country, where so much commercial citrus is grown. So, I do my own taste testing, and I also know what I like with citrus. The kinds of flavors and complexities that appeal to me. I just about only grow what I like to eat or cook with - not a lot of "just because I can" growing here, because water is so expensive. I think what's worth growing is what you like to eat. If you really enjoy it, and are a gardener (and willing to take care of an indoor citrus tree), it's worth growing. If I were living in a non-citrus state, I would never grow kumquats, as I don't like to eat them. So for me, not worth the time and effort. I'd be growing mandarins and pummelo hybrids. And, a Meyer lemon :-)
Patty S.
Thanks for your response. I tried both nagami and meiwa and I liked the meiwa much better. It is worth growing for the sweet tasty skin as well as the flesh. I would not grow any other citrus because of the cold. My hardy chicago is also a real winner up here and I am propagating a bunch of them. Other wise I'll stick with my apple, peaches, pears, and plums, along with grapes, kiwis, strawberries, and blueberries. But a lot of northerners have many trees that have to be brought in every fall and these trees are expensive. Hopefully my kumquats will come through with 'no mess' fresh fruit late fall, winter and spring leaving late spring, summer, and fall for my traditional produce.
I was raised in So. CA where we had citrus trees growing in our back yard. I miss them since I've moved to the midwest.
This is my first real attempt at growing citrus in a container, it was what the store had and I got them at a discount, so that's why I have my 2 Meyer lemon and a Key lime.
If I am successful with these I want to venture on to others, such as clementine, kumquats, variegated lemon and more.
This is an exciting adventure!
I have both Meiwa and Nagami, and to me, they're both equally sour :-) But then, I'm just not a sour citrus fan. At all. Now, my Italian grandmother ate lemons out of hand (it still makes me cringe just thinking of it). She told me you should eat lemons every day (and figs), because it will give you a long live. She lived to nearly 100 and was in just about perfect health to the day she died. So, maybe she was right, but I still can't stand the thought of biting into a lemon, egad. Have several fig trees - every good Italian girl should - and we're enjoying them right now very much.
Patty S.
We too are enjoying our figs. They started coming in early july. We have only got about 15 as our trees are small, but they sure are good. The nagami I got at krogers are very sour. The meiwa however were more sweet than sour. I do not like sour fruit myself but I dislike sweet to. A good grapefruit seems to have the complexities of flavors with out the biting sweet or sour of most citrus. I can buy grapefruit from $0.40 to$0.90 per pound. I am not going to grow them when I can get them that cheap. Kumquats on the other hand are an easy mess free fruit containing essential oils in the skin.. Grow citrus up north is not easy and it is time consuming both in labor and wait The figs on the other hand are very easy to care for and grow. Best of all. they fruit in their first year and grow like weeds.

American Sign Language
American Sign Language
ASL 101 and ASL 102 are offered in the fall and spring semesters. These courses are designed for beginners and are taught by Irene Schock.
Course Syllabi
- SIG 101: Intro to American Sign Language I (Fall 2013)
- SIG 102: Intro to American Sign Language II (Spring 2014)
Why Study ASL?
- American Sign Language (ASL) is the language of the Deaf community in the United States and much of Canada. It is critical for communication and also the vehicle necessary to gain access to the rich heritage of Deaf culture.
- ASL is estimated to be the 4th most commonly used language in the U.S.
- ASL uses a gestural-visual modality in which manual signs, facial expressions, and body movements and postures all convey complex linguistic information. Learning ASL can give students a new perspective on how human languages are structured. Because ASL uses a different modality of expression than the oral-auditory modality of spoken languages, students begin to discover properties that are common to all languages.
- ASL is not a derivate of English. It is a fully developed language, with its own systems for articulation, forming words and sentences, and meaning.
- Knowledge of ASL gives you access to another literary tradition, found in both poetry and theater.
- Students of ASL also learn about other aspects of American Deaf culture, including the values and outlooks of Deaf people, and social and educational aspects of deafness.
- The study of ASL provides practical training for students entering a range of professions in the field of deafness, and may strengthen students' qualifications for various non-deafness careers. Study of ASL also provides excellent preparation to students for professional careers as:
- sign language interpreters
- sign language instructors
- counselors
- government specialists
- audiologists
- speech pathologists
- program administrators
- community service personnel

dropzone with your video person waiting to film it all.
A freefall Videographer can capture your experience, filming the skydive and landing, as well as the 'candid' interviews, special effects and music - producing an 6-8 minute professional production, ready before you leave (as well as a CD of photos for you to take home)

I just changed from my reg cable box to HD box and have been trying since exchange to get time to display ,after many times being told , unplug , turn off ect... I was finally told that my new HD box does not display the time .
Are all the HD boxes the same , no HD box displays time/ channel ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If the box has a display you can toggle the time
With your Comcast remote press
cable box setup
select "front LED display" and change from "current channel" to "current time"
done that , they told me my box I had did not display , thats why I was wondering IF there was a HD box that did
Most of the non-DVR HD boxes do not have front displays.
If you have Cisco or Scientific Atlanta equipment the newer RNG150 does not
If you have Motorola equipment the Pace RNG110 and the Motorola DCX3200 do not. The refreshed DCX3200 P2 does have a front display but is not widely deployed by Comcast.
If you have Motorola equipment, stop by your local Comcast office and your only choice is a DCX3200 P2. There are some older Motorola HD boxes like the DCT6200 with front displays. This older very large box only has DVI output and not HDMI.
03-05-2012 10:42 AM - edited 03-05-2012 10:43 AM
For Cisco or Scientific-Atlanta cable boxes -
If you enable the current channel as the front panel display type (following the steps JayInAlg listed above) , you should see the current channel number displayed while the box is on and a blank LED front panel screen when the cable box is turned off.
If you would want the current time displayed on the front LED panel, you would need to set the Front LED Display to current time and then it should display the time when the box is powered off.

Brandon BohanonCatcher
Freshman at UHV
Offense: .239 Avg., 92 AB, 22 H, 1 HR, 1 3B, 1 2B, 12 RBIs, Defense: .963 fielding percentage, 9 E, 9 PB, 19 CS, 37 SB.
Brandon Bohanon was home schooled as a young boy, but his true classroom was the ballpark.
Brian Bohanon was the Texas Rangers' top pick in the 1987 major league draft.
During his 12-year major league career with six teams, Bohanon would often bring his son to the ballpark.
"He's been in a clubhouse all his life," Brian Bohanon said. "When you're younger and you pay that much attention to the game, it has to help you."
Brian Bohanon remembers his son taking cuts in the batting cage and working with the hitting instructor while he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies.
But the best training Brandon Bohanon received was watching his father pitch.
"My mom and I kept his pitch count," Brandon Bohanon said. "I would see how would do things through the innings."
Brandon Bohanon followed in his father's footsteps and attended North Shore High School in Houston, but became a catcher in the process.
"It's something I fell in love with," Brandon Bohanon said. "My dad's been able to help from a pitcher's standpoint as to how to understand the came and call the game."
Bohanon's catching skills were good enough to attract the attention of University of Houston-Victoria head coach Terry Puhl.
Puhl offered Bohanon a scholarship with the intention of letting him back up Jose Quintanilla for a season.
When Quintanilla wasn't able to return, Bohanon became the Jaguars' starting catcher as a freshman.
"I think his biggest thing has been catching the upper college pitcher who's throwing a cutter and a runner," Puhl said. "At the beginning, he was kind of snatching at it and missing and there were some passed balls. Now, he's seeing it on a regular basis. He's made the adjustment and he's improved his throwing skills too."
Brian Bohanon wasn't worried about his son making the transition from the high school to the college level.
"I thought he was ready maturity wise," Brian Bohanon said. "I knew he would have to get better at this pace of the game. He's learning the game and one thing that's going to help him as he gets older and fills out is his strength."
The biggest challenge facing Bohanon was handling a pitching staff composed primarily of seniors.
"I kind of control the game and listen to their opinion a lot," Brandon Bohanon said. "Since they are seniors, they know what they're talking about. I've kind of mixed in what my dad's taught me and it's worked out this season."
Bohanon's ability to call a game hasn't surprised UHV closer Pete Ontiveros.
"I knew coach Puhl wasn't going to recruit somebody who wasn't good," Ontiveros said. "We're usually on the same page unless I know a specific batter and how I want to pitch to him. I'll discuss it with him before I go out there."
Bohanon enters the Association of Independent Institutions tournament having caught 34 games this season. He has nine passed balls, a fielding percentage of .963, and has thrown out 19 of 56 runners attempting to steal.
Bohanon's biggest struggles have come at the plate, where he's hitting .239 with one home run and 12 RBIs.
"I want my catcher to move the ball," Puhl said. "If you can move the ball, a lot of good things can happen at this level. With Brandon he's kind of hot and cold. He just needs to get a little more consistent."
Bohanon won't use inexperience as an excuse for his lack of offensive production, and has every intention of getting better.
"I've always been the type the more the merrier," Bohanon said. "The more opportunities I have the better for me. I came in here expecting to be the starting catcher and wanting the full load of it.
"I've always prided myself in my hitting and defense behind the plate. Hitting wise was not what I expected, but everything else has been what I expected."

1st Sesquicentennial event a success
The first Pierce Sesquicentennial event occurred last Thursday at the Pierce Community Center. Old time music greeted those who arrived for the 5 p.m. coffee hour.
Performers were Lauren Kaboth and her parents Richard and Margaret Whitten. Many enjoyed singing along to familiar tunes. Dinner, served Potluck style, (including every dish one could imagine), started at 6, followed at 6:30 by the evening's featured speaker, Judge John Bradbury.
Mr. Bradbury's grandfather was brought to Pierce as a six week old infant by wagon from Walla Walla in 1868. Excerpts from his later journals regarding the early days of Pierce were shared with those of us who gathered for a taste of old Pierce history. Also intertwined was the story of Israel B. Cowen who came to Pierce in 1862, carried its mail on foot to and from Lewiston in 1863 and '64, served as Shoshone County's Sheriff from 1866 to 1872, its probate judge in 1863, was twice a member of the Territorial Council, county commissioner from 1901-1907 and Postmaster a number of years.
Truly he was one of Pierce's historical heroes. Judge Bradbury continually stressed that it was a hearty folk who came to this part of the country and stayed. All of those who attended were impressed and encouraged by the proud story. Thank you, Judge Bradbury!
February's historical speaker will feature Norm Steadman, Mayor of Weippe, and longtime resident. He will take the stage to share tales with us at the town's Winter Festival Bonfire at 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Community Center. Be sure to mark your calendars and don't miss this coming event!

Thank this author by sharing:
By Steve Jones, 2010/09/17
I saw a post recently where someone talked about trying to get better performance from a report. They were selecting 5mm rows from a table and wanted to see if there was a more efficient way to chunk out this data so that the instance would not report memory errors.
My first question is what kind of report has 5mm rows of data? That's just too much data.
From your experience, talking with people, looking at what they analyze, how big is a report? How much data can you really display on a report and make it useful for users?
I'm thinking here in terms of the raw data you show. A pivot table can summarize millions of records, but realistically I thin kit becomes hard to examine more than a few hundred data points on a page. Whether they are raw data or aggregates of other data, it seems there's some limit to what a report should provide.
After all, that's why we have drill-down :)
Let us know this Friday what you think; what you have observed? Maybe we'll help others to build better reports that are more practical and useful to end users, as well as easier to develop.

Before tackling Animal House's take on college administration (a theme that must be of interest to us all as Dartmouth prepares for the presidential transition in July), I'd like to consider the pause inserted quietly between the behemoth juxtapositions of Delta and the Administration "Bvilding." Often overlooked, the scene in which Delta brother Boone unconvincingly comforts his dissatisfied girlfriend Katy nevertheless acts as one of the most applicable moments in Animal House to modern life at Dartmouth. Or at least to anyone familiar with the age-old Dartmouth tradition of consoling friends moping over the un-dateability of guys they meet in basements over FoCo brunch. Every one of those tired complaints emerges here: frat brothers are immature (Boone charms Katy merely by pouting, it seems). They value bro-bonding over campus romance — as soon as Boone proposes a weekend at Katy's parents' place, she automatically assumes the trip will include Boone's frat buddies riding along to "empty my parents' liquor cabinet," and she's not entirely wrong. Boone says, "It's just going to be you and me…and Otter and another girl." (For more on Animal House's fascinating homosocial bonds, visit the previous Analyzing Animal House post). We can't forget narcissistic, either. While… Read more »
The Cinephile: Did the Oscars Play it Safe This Year?
With much of the post-Oscars attention focused on a ceremony some called banal (the choice of Seth MacFarlane as host really upped expectations of provocation), the real question remains —how safe were the Academy Awards choices this year? Yeah, Argo won Best Picture, Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress, Amour for Best Foreign Language Film and Paperman for Best Short Film, Animated, as everyone predicted (that last one maybe only for film nerds). But that doesn't mean the choices weren't controversial. In fact, this was probably the most exciting year for debate about the actual accolades in recent history. Here's a look at some other potentially scandalous wins — and why or why not they should be questioned. Best Picture: Argo Leading the contentious tone of the choices is undoubtedly Best Picture winner Argo, whose screenplay's inaccuracies and themes have been dismissed as promoting "a retrograde 'white Americans in peril' storyline." The Iranian Mehr news agency even called the film's Oscar success an "an advertisement for the CIA." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w918Eh3fij0 Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained As much as Django might have been the most fun to be had in theaters all year, Christoph Waltz's win evokes all that seemed… Read more »
The Cinephile: Analyzing Animal House — An Introduction to Delta, or: Why We Frequent Frats
We all remember our First Time at Dartmouth, our introduction to the subterranean world for which our campus is so (in)famous. Maybe you first experienced it with a big group from your floor during Orientation, or perhaps when a friend told you to meet him or her at some unfamiliar Greek letter or other and you plunged into the deep of the frat basement alone (quel horreur!).
Upon descending those steps, you may have first been struck by the assault on one's senses — the acrid scent of beer, the percussive knocking of pong paddles against tables as players self-congratulate or fling their unlikely instruments of glory in pursuit of The Save, music slavishly promulgated from top 40 pop-filled playlists, the fluid cycle of introductions that may or may not be acknowledged the next day. But I don't want to get all David Foster Wallace foot-notey on you, because this is a world we all know too well. And while the First Time, our communal induction into Dartmouth's dominating social structure, may be somewhat traumatic, it is also undeniably exhilarating. Our introduction to Delta House in Animal House suggests why…. Read more »
The Cinephile: Analyzing Animal House — "Knowledge is Good"
From a close read of the first few scenes of Animal House (1978), I'd like to rupture the illusion that its comedy does not merit further thought than the surface laughs we get every time we read the Faber College motto, "Knowledge is Good." These first few scenes (credits included) show it to be a movie that should be taken seriously. Director John Landis was largely untested at this point in his career, but his instinctual grasp of how to begin a great battle of us versus them prefaces his tremendous, commensurate later work such as The Blues Brothers (1980), An American Werewolf in London (1981) and Trading Places (1983). Consider: the film begins with a stately neoclassical building looming over the frame, reading "Faber College 1962." Cut to two young, suited men emerging from an L-shaped dorm that looks it may have been the height of architectural style at the time. Recall that Chris Miller '63, a former member of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity — now Alpha Delta — penned the script, along with The National Lampoon's Harold Ramis and Douglas Kennedy.

Though this week saw the Sundance Film Festival and further Oscar politicking, The Wrap's big reveal on Thursday that J.J. Abrams will direct Star Wars Episode VII (2015) has trumped all other news. Though just a few months ago Abrams told us he wouldn't take on Star Wars, Disney's choice rings of destiny. The marriage of J.J. Abrams and Star Wars, the ultimate consummation of devoted fan and pop culture icon, seems to be ordained by the Fates — or the Force. In all his work, Abrams masterfully evokes pop culture touchstones and assembles referential material into something modern and new — he's Tarantino for the sci-fi set, with less pretension and a good helping of awe. Abrams' previous film and television endeavors flirt regularly with Star Wars, deliberately or unintentionally and his oeuvre is a treasure trove for the Star Wars fan. In Abram's early genre-mashup televison series "Alias," the double-agent protagonist Sydney Bristow echoes Princess Leia in her intelligence, determination and notable acting chops. Like Leia infamously playing slave to Jabba the Hutt, Sydney assumes feminine wiles with the true intention of pursuing the ultimate goal of equality with the intelligence agency father figures that pepper the show….

Cinephile: Oscar-Nominated Scores
With such rich offerings in theaters, film awards season always produces an unavoidable sense of guilt. The limited-release availability of the nominated films — this year, those may include Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), Amour (2012), and The Master (2012) — and the requisite two-hour time investment make it utterly impossible, even for the most enthusiastic, to see all the nominees….

Going into the final four games of the season, you knew it would be a rough stretch for the Devils. They had to contend with the top three teams in the conference -- Cromwell, Morgan and H-K -- as well as Old Saybrook, a team just behind the Devils in the conference standings.
First up was the Old Saybrook Rams at home on Feb. 10. The Rams prevailed 51-43.
Morgan Kuehnle led Coginchaug with 21 points and shared rebounding honors with Caryn Sibiskie, with eight. Kim Romanoff added 10 points for the Devils.
Next up was the Cromwell Panthers, on the road, Feb. 14.
The local girls hung tough throughout the game, trailing by only one entering the final period. But Cromwell outscored the Devils in the final period 11-7 to come away with a 43-38 victory.
For the Devils, Kim Romanoff had seven assists, and Caryn Sibiskie pulled in six rebounds, with Naomi Rinaldo adding five boards.
Next was the Morgan Huskies, who the Devils hosted on Feb. 17.
Coginchaug got off to an abysmal start, trailing 18-8 after one period, and never fully recovered, as Morgan chalked up a 51-39 victory.
Kim Romanoff led the Devils with 13 points and five steals. Morgan Kuehnle scored 11 points, and Caryn Sibiskie chipped in with 10 points. Sibiskie shared the rebounding honors with Kate Williams and Naomi Rinaldo, who each pulled in five boards.
The last regular season game was at the H-K Cougars Feb. 19. In a see-saw battle that saw the locals trailing by one entering the final period, Coginchaug prevailed on the road, 49-46.
Kim Romanoff led the Devils with 16 points, and also had three assists. Caryn Sibiskie scored 14 points and led the team in rebounds with seven. Morgan Kuehnle dropped in 12 points, and chipped in four rebounds and two assists. Amy Arcari scored three, and Kate Williams and Naomi Rinaldo each scored two for the Devils.
Coginchaug finished the regular season with a 14-6 record, and was 13-5 in the Shoreline Conference, which left it tied for third.

Indian Ocean islands hit by rising sea levels and bleaching coral reefs.
VICTORIA, Seychelles — Climate change can often seem like something that will happen in the distant future to people living in faraway places. But what if you live in one those faraway places and the future has already arrived?
"We are seeing the early effects of climate change," said Rolph Payet a leading environmental expert, special advisor to the Seychelles' president and Nobel laureate in 2007, alongside Al Gore in 2007 for his work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
On his fingers Payet checked off a list of impacts already hitting the Indian Ocean archipelago: warming oceans, rising sea levels and shifting unpredictable rain patterns.
"Our concern is that we are moving to a point of no return where the climate goes down a slide that you cannot stop. We are not far away from this tipping point," he warned.
85,000 people live in the Seychelles, the vast majority on Mahé, the largest of the 115 islands. Its interior is made up of soaring granite peaks tumbling with thick jungle and fresh waterfalls but most of the people, their homes, shops, businesses, hotels, roads and even the airport are squeezed into a narrow coastal strip just a meter or two above the clear calm Indian Ocean waters.
When a massive tsunami hit Asia in 2004 the tidal aftershocks rolled across the Indian Ocean as far as Africa's east coast. The waves met little resistance in the Seychelles where the capital Victoria was submerged in shallow seawater.
The waves washed around a miniature silvery replica of London's Big Ben clocktower that stand's at the little city's heart and lapped up against the gates of State House.
"Rising sea levels are the biggest threat to the islands," Payet told GlobalPost.
Coral islands will be most dramatically affected by sea level rises as their palm-fringed beaches and luxury resorts sink beneath the seas.
Last October the government of the coral atolls that make up the Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives donned scuba gear to hold a cabinet meeting underwater. Their country is on average just two meters above sea level so the dramatic stunt was designed to draw attention to the Maldives' inevitable demise if global warming continues.
"We're now actually trying to send our message, let the world know what is happening, and what will happen to the Maldives if climate change is not checked," President Mohamed Nasheed told journalists after he resurfaced.

We have constructed a database system named CHRONIS (CHROmosome and Nano-Information System) to collect images of animal chromosomes and related nanotechnological information. CHRONIS enables rapid sharing of information on chromosome research among cell biologists and researchers in other fields via the Internet. CHRONIS is also intended to serve as a liaison tool for researchers who work in different centers. The image database contains more than 3000 color microscopic images, including karyotypic images obtained from more than 1000 species of animals. Researchers can browse the contents of the database using a usual World Wide Web interface in the following URL: http://chromosome.med.niigata-u.ac.jp/chronis/servlet/chronisservlet. The system enables users to input new images into the database, to locate images of interest by keyword searches, and to display the images with detailed information. CHRONIS has a wide range of applications, such as searching for appropriate probes for fluorescent in situ hybridization, comparing various kinds of microscopic images of a single species, and finding researchers working in the same field of interest.

How do I get these gardenias back in shape?
I have four gardenia bushes that have been the victims of neglect. They are growing fine, but have become leggy and lack shape. At the moment, they also have some leaves that look rather dry and brittle. I think they got a touch of the recent cold we had, although I covered them.
I have no idea what variety they are, they were funeral home plants from when my mother died in 2002. I started with two, and when they produced offshoots I separated them and they've done well, although they don't bloom much. They get perhaps three hours of direct sun during the summer, otherwise they are in partial shade.
Is it OK to prune them rather drastically, and start over with shaping? How much can I safely cut off? I realize they may not bloom this year, but that is OK, since they don't much anyway. I would rather have them look a little neater, and work on the blooming issue later.
From an old eHow article....
Prune occasionally. Unlike some bushes and shrubs, Gardenias actually donÂt require pruning for health, but rarther more for shape and basic maintenance. They do not need to be pruned annually.
Prune for size and shape. The real purpose of pruning a Gardenia is to remove any deadwood, and maintain the size and shape suitable for your garden. This also prevents your Gardenia from becoming too "leggy" and losing their fullness.
Gardenias set their flower buds for the following year during the fall. Prune after the blooms have wilted and faded away, usually mid to late summer to avoid cutting away the new buds.
Use sharp pruners to avoid ragged cuts. Ragged increases the chance of infection and disease.
Trim any type of branch. Unlike some shrubs which put forth blossoms only on new wood, you can prune both green (new) and brown (old) wood on a Gardenia, because the shrubs set buds on both, ensuring blooms will appear no matter where you prune.
Don't water immediately after pruning. Give the "cut" a few hours to seal over.
If I ignore the risk of cutting away the buds, which there are few of anyway, is there any danger in pruning them now? And how much can I prune? 25%? half? To the dirt? (I wouldn't do that). If I wait until fall, they will be terribly out of control. But I'm really concerned that I don't do them damage, as they are rather keepsake plants.
The sun issue notwithstanding... since you have 4 of them - conduct an experiment and shape one of them back now until it either looks good to you (if 25% is within your comfort zone, go for it) or the plant simply isn't leggy anymore. You're in a warm enough zone to probably do no more "damage" than sacrifice some bloom.
If that works for you, prune the others back in the same manner mid to late summer after any blooms have faded. To preserve the legacy aspect of your plants, living with legginess for a few extra months seems a small price to pay.
The literature says that gardenias can be pruned as far back as you like but - ideally when they are dormant (depending upon where you live). This allows the stems to heal over when the plants aren't actively growing. Don't cut all the leaves off. Some leaves need to be left so the plant can produce food for the root system.
Thanks to both of you for the tips. As to the sun, I was reading old threads here, and I thought I read that they can handle some direct sun, but prefer partial shade. Perhaps I read that wrong. They grow well where they are, and the only place I have that is substantially more sun, I really can't enjoy them. I'd have to stand in the middle of the street.
I like the idea of making one of them a lab rat. I'll do that and see what happens. And you're right, small sacrifice for plants that are important to me.
My gardenias got a bad case of whitefly and sooty mold several years ago and in frustration I cut them back as far as I could with the tools I had at the time, from 5' tall to about 18". (It was a good thing I had limits -- I was pretty frustrated.) They grew back beautiful and healthy and two years later you couldn't tell they'd ever been pruned. I think it was late spring when they got whacked.

Rainbows appear after mighty storms, When things look their very worst, Just when the skies are darkest gray, Look for the rainbow first. |
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise,
That He will guide us through any storm, That He will see us through all our troubles, No matter what their form. |
When you feel battered by life's storms,
And you are filled with doubt and dismay; Just remember God's rainbow is coming It's only a prayer away. |
Words so grand roll off my tongue, "Lord, I'll follow all the way" But seldom do I think to ask, "Lord, have You plans today?" |
So in these early morning hours, When time is yet unclaimed, With heart sincere, I come to you, My plans to You I bring. |
Is there someone, Lord who needs my prayers?
Or a word I need to share? Are there acts of love that I can do? Please, Father, let me be aware. |
This day, this hour, I give to You, Use it as You may, For nothing, Lord would thrill me more Than being used of You today. |
As I faced my Maker at the last Judgment, I knelt before the Lord along with the other souls.
Before each of us laid our lives, like the squares of a quilt, in many piles. An Angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a tapestry that is our life. As my Angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how ragged and empty each of my squares was. They were filled with giant holes.
Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in everyday life. I saw hardships that I had endured, which were the largest holes of all.
I glanced around me. Nobody else had such squares. Other than a tiny hole here and there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color and the bright hues of worldly fortune.
I gazed upon my own life and was disheartened. My Angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and empty, like binding air.
Finally the time came when each life was
to be displayed, held up to the light, the scrutiny of truth.
The others rose, each in turn, holding up their tapestries.
So filled their lives had been.
My Angel looked upon me, and nodded for me to rise. My gaze
dropped to the ground in shame. I hadnt had all the
earthly fortunes. I had love in my life, and laughter. There
had also been trials of illness and death, and false accusations
that took from me my world as I knew it. I had to start
over many times. I often struggled with the temptation to
quit, only to somehow muster the strength to pick up and begin
again. I had spent many nights on my knees in prayer, asking
for help and guidance in my life. I had often been held
up to ridicule, which I endured painfully; each time offering
it up to the Father in hopes that I would not melt within my skin
beneath the judgmental gaze of those who unfairly judged me. Now
I had to face the truth. My life was what it was, and I
had to accept it for what it had been.
I rose and slowly lifted the combined squares of my life to the
light. An awe-filled gasp filled the air. I gazed
around at the others who stared at me with eyes wide. Then,
I looked upon the tapestry before me. Light flooded the
many holes, creating an image. The face of Christ. Then
our Lord stood before me, with warmth and love in His eyes.
He said, Every time you gave over
your life to Me, it became My life, My hardships, and My struggles.
Each point of light in your life is when you stepped aside
and asked Me shine through, until there was more of Me than there
was of you.
May all your quilts be threadbare and worn having Christ shine

Edit: Since I'm getting a lot of the same questions, I'll answer them here.
- The water is just clear resin.
- The fish are made from polymer clay.
- No, the animals are not real.
- This was done over the course for three days.
- As the koi ponds are one of my popular items, I will not be making a tutorial or explaining how to make parts of them. Sorry!
A one of a kind large Altoids tin koi pond is now available on eBay!
It features two koi fish (one black and white, one calico), a turtle, and a frog, all hand sculpted from polymer clay. It also has some underwater plants, stones, and a crushed slate substrate.

SO I was basically sold on a Kimber Ultra TLE II with laser guard. Probably will run me $1300 at my lgs. Went to my lgs today to check their kimber stock out and they literally had every ultra kimber model BUT what I was looking for(including ultra combat II). They can order the TLE with lg for me if I want.
Well anyways I went home to look online for something and somehow came across the Springfield EMP. The Springfield actually impressed me and changed my whole train of thought on the kimber. The EMP comes in .40 which is nice because I already have a sr40c and reload .40. The other thing that impressed me was that it comes with THREE (quality too) mags as opposed to kimbers ONE(crappy) mag and also comes with a little slide holster and double mag holster which kimber comes with nothing of the sort. Both come with trijicon night sights.The fancy foam fit to parts case the EMP comes with is better than kimbers too but no bonus points cuz I don't really care about the case as it won't save my life lol(unless I beat someone over the head with it maybe).
Here's what separates the two a little. The EMP doesn't come with crimson trace laser grips although I suppose I can purchase separate and throw them on. I can get the EMP for probably $1000-1100 at my lgs without laser but I can get the kimber TLE WITHOUT laser for $964. Both are same size and weight and look. Well I'm leaning toward EMP because of the .40 cal option and comes with more in the box. BUT I want you guys to sway me with your opinions on QUALITY of each of these weapons based on your experience. Fire away.

How to reduce expenses and debt – whether you are responsible for a country or you are the head of a household, you are looking for ways to cut back on spending and borrow less money. We're all sharing a common experience affecting cash flow – The Great Debt Contraction.
So how do you look for ways to cut expenses and debt? A good place to start is by getting Bankrate's view about how families get into debt.
A) Reduced income while expenses stay the same.
Too often we delay bringing expenses in line with a reduction in income for a host of good reasons and let debt fill the gap. The sooner you adjust to your new reality, whether it be temporary or permanent, the better off you'll be.
B) Divorce.
Maintaing two homes and loss of tax benefits have a big effect on expenses.
C) Poor money management.
A monthly spending plan is essential. Without one you have no idea where your money is going. You may be spending hundreds of dollars unnecessarily each month and end up having to charge purchases on which you should have spent that money. Planning is no more difficult than writing down your expenses and income and reconciling the two. You will be surprised at how powerful you'll feel when you are making thoughtful decisions about where and when to spend your money.
D) Under-employment.
People who experience under-employment may continue to think of it as only temporary or if they are coming off unemployment feel a false sense of relief. Yes, you deserve a break, but this is not the time. Get those expenses in line with your current income. Down the road if you increase your income due to more hours, a second job, or a better job, then is the time to start adding in some of the previous spending before you became underemployed.
E) Gambling.
You may think of it as entertainment but it is a guaranteed exchange of money from you to "the house." It can be addictive, hard to stop and loans are freely available. Gambling establishments may be the only place you can mortgage your house while intoxicated and have it be legal.
F) Medical expenses.
Gaps in coverage, lapsed policies and increasingly costly alternatives make this a popular category. Most health care providers take credit cards. If you think it's for convenience, think again. The medical industry wants to get paid at the time service is rendered. They know that if they don't, the chances of their getting paid drops. This means more debt for you, less for them. To be fair, they are not in the lending business, but this only masks a bigger problem.
G) Saving too little or not at all.
The simplest way to avoid unwanted debt is to prepare for unexpected expenditures by saving three to six months of living expenses. With a savings cushion in place, a job layoff, illness or divorce will not cause immediate financial strain and increase debt. You always hear, "Pay yourself first." Do it and it will grow and be there when you need it. No one has ever regretted having a savings cushion.
H) No money communication skills.
t is important to communicate with your spouse or significant other and your children about finances. Keep the lines of communication open and discuss financial goals and spending styles. If you are married to a spender and you are a saver, you will want to map out a strategy for you both to get what you want. Know what credit accounts you each have and promise each other to be honest about what each other spends. Many people find out that their spouses have racked up thousands of dollars in credit card debt and they had no idea that the accounts even existed.
I) Banking on a windfall.
Spending tomorrow's money today is very tempting. Especially if you believe that tomorrow will come no matter what. A planned job bonus may not be a sure thing. The inheritance that you believe will come your way may not. The lesson is don't spend the money until the check clears.
J) Financial illiteracy.
Many people don't understand how money works and grows, how to save and invest for a rainy day, or even why they should balance their checkbook. The schools don't teach it, your parents may not have sat you down and explained it. It doesn't matter. You are responsible for your life and your money anyway. Financial mistakes are increasingly expensive and complicated to resolve. Get educated and get in control.

How I Became An Inbox Ninja
Overcome by Email Avalanches
I never had to deal with the problem of having too much email until I landed my new writing job 8 months ago. Suddenly I had a whole avalanche of incoming messages to handle and a whole new culture to learn!
In the beginning I struggled to find the right balance of being on top of email and still having the focus and time to do my job. With most of my mornings spent replying to email and handling the administrative stuff that came out of it I found my work hours effectively cut in half – there had to be a better way to handle my email.
The First Step Towards Email Freedom
The first key came in Lifehacker's Trusted Trio hack. The method is simple, keep only 3 folders in your email client:
1) Action
To hold the emails with tasks that need to get done.
2) Archive
Everything else that's just for reference's sake or action emails that have been done gets stored in here.
3) Hold
A temporary holding folder for reference emails that might be needed in the next few days.
The end goal is to keep the inbox empty so you know you have everything you need to do or know processed and held in an easy to reference location.
This method really worked for me because I installed Google Desktop Search which integrates into Outlook. Anytime I wanted to look for an email I just used the search function which cut out any need to process my emails into folders.
I also had to deal with annoying new email notifications and this constant urge to check what was new in my emailing life – so I switched off my Outlook whenever I wasn't using it and only checked my email twice a day, once before lunch and once in the afternoon. This really freed up my time to focus on my work instead of my email.
This method worked well for a time – but I noticed that stuff would still pile up in my Action folder and it still produced extra work and stress to look through that stuff. I pondered over it but couldn't find a solution until…
The Big 'Aha!' Moment
I couldn't sleep one night and started surfing online for a way to cut down my email processing time even more and make it even less stressful.
What I didn't realize was that Lifehacker had already figured out the solution for me with its separate your email from your to-do's post.
When I read it, the proverbial light-bulb lit up in my head.
Email is a sucky task manager. Email is a way to communicate, not a way to manage your time.
All emails must be converted to to-dos. Up till then, my Action folder had been useful, but it had really only been serving as a reminder folder. I still had to process what each email meant and the actions I had to take each time I looked through the Action folder.
After reading that article, I went through my Action folder and made a to-do item out of each and every one of them and then subsequently archived my emails. This gave me a clear inbox and clear action steps from my email.
How to Become an Inbox Ninja
I've been using this system for a while now and it's been the most elegant solution thus far; reducing the time I spend on email and maximizing my productivity.
1) Aim to pare your inbox down to zero. Your inbox should be the place where new inputs come in, not where old inputs get clogged up. Process your email when it comes in.
2) Emails that need action on them need to become to-do items. Figure out what steps need to be done and put them on a to-do list. Don't use your email as a reminder!
3) Process other emails to either 'Archive', 'Follow-up' or 'Hold'. The 'Follow-up' folder serves in place of the old 'Action' folder, for emails that you need to follow-up on once the to-do has been done. I sometimes place emails in 'Hold' for stuff I don't want to yet process and whittle them down later that day.
4) Refine the system. This means to continually find ways to cut down the unproductive time spent on email. For me, this meant unsubscribing to emailing lists I never read anyway, being ruthless with the junk email that comes my way and limiting the time I spend checking my email.
To become even more of an Inbox Ninja, Merlin Mann of the always excellent productivity blog 43Folders has a fun talk on 'Inbox Zero' explaining these principles in more detail:
