The board game contest went beautifully. I can't thank everyone enough for all of the support whether you participated and developed an entry, voted and supported the contestants, hosted the entries during voting or just plain rooted on our contestants. I want to thank everyone for your support of our mission. Our success depends upon those developers and participants.
SDGuild contests could use some help, however. Cash prizes are cool and all, but let's get some help from all of you SDGuildlings [see what I did thar? hurrhurr] for some prizes. (Cash prizes will also exist along side this idea. Don't worry :P)
I'm not asking for your money. (aside from the donate button over in the top box on the left of my page, but that's a different endeavor altogether) You can donate a subscription to your game for however long you like be it one month, six months, a year, lifetime or whatever other timeframe you wish. You can do that by clicking here. The link will take you to the "Game Author Donations" portion of the SDGuild's forum. Thanks ahead of time for anyone that either considers it or gifts us a subscription to give away in a future contest.
It doesn't have to be a subscription at all. You can donate anything you like. (Except Lebron James jerseys. We don't accept those.)
Simple Developments Hosting Services are still lacking clients and customers. I think the prices are fairly cheap. If you're looking for hosting, give us a shot, and we'll do our best not to disappoint. All money made during this will be put directly into the contest prize fund and given back to our winners. I'm hoping to generate enough revenue to start offering larger cash prizes as well as a prize for the silver medal. Let's see what we can get done!
We're not all about contests, however. That's just a clever rouse to make you guys develop something! That's right! The secret is out of the bag now. You caught me. So, tell me. Have any of you learned anything yet? Has anyone learned the lesson I'm trying to teach? The lessons go hand-in-hand with my "It isn't about the size" blog posts I made not too long ago. (You can find the first one here and the second one here in case you missed them.)
Here's the basic overview of the idea:
1) Games are meant to be fun. It doesn't take a year to make a fun game. It only takes a good idea and some effort.
2) Making games is also meant to be fun. For all of you that participated in any of our contests, I'm sure you had a few smiles and a bit of a sense of accomplishment at least once or twice.
3) It doesn't take a genius to make a game. Believe me, I'm no genius. (surprise!)
4) Developing, programming, pixel art, GFX and anything that goes with it is a bit addictive. Once you start down that path, you're hooked.
I remember my first game. It was ugly! The object of the game was to run around digging holes to see what you can find. I spent forever on it, due to fail knowledge and inexperience. But I remember when everything finally came together and my crooked little stick figure dudes were shoveling their rumps off and finding gold, jewelry, underground monsters to fight and all kinds of cool stuff. I was proud of that accomplishment. No matter how ugly it was.
So, get in on the hosting and if you'd be so kind, help us out with some prizes to make things more interesting.
Thanks for reading
Don't wait for a contest! Make something!

An estimated 2000 African-Americans worked at the island's hotels, estates, and golf courses. From their arrival until about 1912, they lived in an area known as the Styx, a settlement in the vicinity of what is now the intersection of North County Road and Royal Poinciana Way, not far from Flagler's two hotels -- the Royal Poinciana, on Lake Worth, and the Breakers, on the ocean.
White historians describe the Styx as a squatters' encampment; blacks say the residents rented from white landlords. Whites always looked on the settlement as a place of squalor and lawlessness, an eyesore to be removed.
The fate of the Styx was long the most misreported highlight of Palm Beach history. Legend had it that Flagler, around 1912, spread word throughout the settlement that a circus was coming to the mainland. It was said he gave the residents free tickets and, while they were away, burned their houses to the ground.
The reality was not so dramatic, according to T.T. Reese Jr., a white Palm Beach old-timer. Reese, whose father was director of the landmark Beach Club casino, reports that the proprietors, the Bradley brothers, bought up the Styx. In February 1912, they cut the area into 230 residential lots and ordered Reese's father to clear the neighborhood.
It was perhaps Florida's first gentrification. "I remember watching the squatters and their belongings going across the old wooden bridge with handcarts and other carriers," Reese Jr. told the Palm Beach Post in a 1994 letter. "After everyone had vacated the property, my dad brought in gardeners from the Beach Club and cleared the land, piled up the trash, and burned it on the spot."
The demise of the Styx was a blessing for George Currie. A white West Palm Beach attorney and developer and former mayor Currie had begun planning for a "colored" neighborhood in the city long before the 1912 eviction. His subdivision ran from 15th Street on the south to 23rd Street to the north, with Dixie Highway on the east and the Florida East Coast Railroad tracks to the west.
Currie (for whom a West Palm Beach waterfront park is named) dubbed it Pleasant City -- "a high class, colored sub-division north of town," according to a Currie Investment and Title Guaranty Co. ad in the Palm Beach Post of December 4, 1913. "He gave the streets names like Merry, Cheerful, and Contentment because, he said, the Negroes were naturally happy people," Everee Clarke recounts. "Nobody gave it to us, though. We bought it."
Black settlement in the area, and elsewhere in West Palm Beach west of the tracks, predated Currie's project. But with the sudden influx of families, Pleasant City quickly became the hub of black life and commerce.
On November 20, 1929, the gates of segregation officially slammed shut. A city ordinance marked off the "negro district" along boundary lines that to this day define Pleasant City and the adjoining black northwest neighborhood.
Through the Jim Crow decades of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, Pleasant City disappeared from the white press, and official notice of the black community was confined to the police blotter. "That's just the way white folks wanted it," says Paul George, a professor at Miami-Dade Community College. "Segregation meant invisibility."
Clarke remembers Pleasant City in that time as enterprising and largely self-sufficient. "Most people continued to work on Palm Beach, on the big estates and at hotels," she says. "But when they came home, it was a world of our own -- stores, schools, doctors, lawyers -- all black. We didn't have to go outside for anything."
Born on Merritt Island on July 6, 1926, Clarke spent her early youth in Jacksonville, where she lived with an aunt. She spent summers in Pleasant City on her father's farm near the railroad tracks at what is now 19th Street. "Daddy was a preacher," Clarke says. "But we got a lot out of the land. My brothers used to sell fruits and vegetables to whites on the highway. They'd go out at night and get turtle eggs from the beach -- it was legal, then -- they'd sell them too."
Clarke later lived years at a time in Pleasant City, attending the all-black Industrial High School, then Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri. In 1944, she moved to Newark, N.J., where she worked at a General Electric plant and commuted to New York City's prestigious academy of performing arts, the Juilliard School. At Juilliard, she studied dance with Martha Graham, Anthony Tudor, Doris Humphrey, and José Limón. "I dreamed of being the first black ballerina at the Met," she says.
In 1951, she met and married Vospher Clarke, an electrical engineer, and they quickly had two daughters, Renee and Frances. Raising a family took precedence, and Everee gave up the stage. When she returned to the arts in 1960, it was as director of the Everee Clarke School of Charm and Dance, in Newark. "It wasn't just about beauty," she says. "We'd had black girls refused at a pageant, so we organized our own, 'Miss Teen,' and took it to schools everywhere. We taught poise and personal development."
Clarke was active politically, working on the New Jersey campaigns of black candidates for city, state, and federal posts. "In Newark, if you swept the steps of city hall, that was political," she says. "With politics and my school, I had so much going on up north...." But Newark decayed in the early 1960s, and in 1965, Clarke moved back to Pleasant City with her two young daughters. "This was home," she says. "It was a better place for the girls."

Give universities more, say Greens
PUBLISHED: 23 Nov 2011 00:01:00 | UPDATED: 23 Nov 2011 11:41:16PUBLISHED: 23 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 23 Nov 2011Joanna Mather
The University of Sydney has cut staff to address budget shortfalls. Photo: Paul Jones
The Greens party has labelled Labor "anti-academic" and called for an immediate funding rise for universities as hundreds of academic jobs come under threat in NSW.
Greens senator Lee Rhiannon gave notice late yesterday of a Senate motion calling for a 10 per cent rise in federal support per university student to stave off job losses and safeguard teaching quality. A vote is scheduled for today.
Senator Rhiannon's motion came after the National Tertiary Education Union claimed Macquarie University and the University of NSW were planning to join the University of Sydney in cutting staff.
On Monday, the University of Sydney blamed a failure to meet targets for enrolment growth for plans to shed 230 academic and administrative jobs. Vice-chancellor Michael Spence said a further $28 million in savings also needed to be made from non-salary budgets.
Senator Rhiannon accused Labor of being as "anti-academic" as the previous Howard government. She said unease over job cuts was not confined to NSW, with losses also on the cards at La Trobe and the University of Melbourne.
"The issue of the quality of education comes into this," she told The Australian Financial Review. "Clearly we've had an approach under successive governments where university funding has been squeezed."
The Tertiary Education Union claims Macquarie University plans to reduce staff numbers by 50 and an unspecified number of jobs in UNSW's faculty of arts and social sciences are due to go. This was despite financial results for each showing surpluses of $100 million or more for calendar year 2010, the latest figures available.
A row over surpluses has also erupted between federal Education Minister Chris Evans and peak body Universities Australia.
Universities Australia has taken exception to a report released by the minister earlier this month that showed universities recorded $1.95 billion in surpluses in 2010.
Senator Evans said the results meant universities should not expect any further injections of funding to emerge from a review of per student, or base, funding levels.
"I have been upfront with Australian university leaders that, in the current budget environment, new injections of funding for universities in response to the base funding review are not realistic," he said, adding that $3.15 billion was being added to university budgets between 2011 and 2015 as a result of better indexation of government grants.
But Universities Australia chief Glenn Withers said the report was "unnecessary and misleading" and the true surplus figure was closer to $680 million. The report said government funding, including tuition loans for students, rose 8.9 per cent to $12.4 billion in 2010. Eighteen institutions had surpluses exceeding $50 million.
Dr Withers disputed figures given in the report.
He said when one-off capital injections such as those resulting from the government's nation-building spend were taken into account, the true underlying operating surplus average was 3.16 per cent, not the 9.05 per cent as cited in the report.
He said a 3.16 per underlying operating surplus was close to the government's own federal budget goal. In September,Treasurer Wayne Swan said he was budgeting for a return to surplus of 4 per cent of gross domestic product over two years.

mini tiller -what brand should I get????
I need to buy a new mini tiller which will get a lot of use in heavy clay soil.Must be reliable.Thinking about a Husky or Patriot or something else that has a good warranty.Any suggestions?
My choice would be the Mantis. A friend of mine loaned me his a couple of times now and I am totally impressed. This unit has chewed through roots and pulled up fairly large rocks that would have given my rear-tine Honda a workout. Mantis has a patent on their tine design plus a life-time guarantee. I will be ordering one shortly because now that I have used one, I don't know how I ever could do without having one at my beck and call.
The Troy-bilt tiller/edger used to be the strongest mini tiller on the market, it had a 2HP Tecumseh engine double the power the 0.9 HP engine that is more suited for a weed wacker. But they discontinued it and the replacement is a "cultivator/edger" that has the same silly tiny 26cc 2 stroke like the competition.
For what it is worth, I believe that the power rating on the Honda GX31 that is on the FG100 was 1.5 hp. At any rate, the only times I have ever had the engine not pull through was when a rock or brick chunk becomes physically jammed between the tines and the transmission housing. There was enough power to generate clutch slippage. I have never had an instance where I felt the tiller was underpowered.
By the way, I looked at the Patriot tiller (I had not heard of them before, and it appears to me to be a clone of the Hoffco Lil'Hoe.) The original FG100 was also built by Hoffco. The tines, handles and transmission housing (as well as all of the attachments) look almost identical to the Hoffco varieties that were offered with the FG100.
The Husqvarna mini tiller also looks to me to be a clone of the Hoffco. Check the handles, deflector, etc. They look identical to the Patriot. It has the 2-cycle Tecumseh engine that used to be on the Troy-Built mini tiller mentioned above. I would choose the Honda mini 4-cycle personally.
Yes the old Honda (Hoffco) FG100 was 1.5 HP 31cc engine
The Troy-bilt tiller/edger I have uses a Tecumseh TC300 2-stroke, 2 HP, 49.2cc yes, it looks like the same engine is used in the Husqvarna CT20. In that case I would advise the Husqvarna for that engine. It has been a strong and mainenance free engine for me. The engine has very good torque I never been able to bog it down or stall it.
I have had mine 5 years now it starts right up and runs great, all I ever did was change a spark plug and clean the foam air filter element like it says in the book.
By the way the Honda replacement tiller, the FG110, now has a smaller 1.1 HP engine that is only 25 cc, so if that is the same Honda engine as in the Patriot, you are looking at an engine half as powerful as the Tecumseh engine in the Husqvarna.
I have one of the Honda FG110 mini tillers talked about.
It starts very easy and is very quiet since it is the 4 cycle and not the noisy 2 cycle. No mixing the oil/gas. It is also very economic to run.
I was amazed after starting mine, warming the engine up (1st. time) then giving it a little throttle. Without the wheels on it I was able to give it just enough throttle to walk behind going across the grass to the area I was going to try it on. Worked perfect. Once to the area, (without the drag bar or wheels on) I gave it throttle and I was more impressed! It is so strong and so quiet. It dug down as deep as I wanted to go and turned the soil to a perfect planting texture. To move along forward all you have to do is slow the engine down just a little or rock the handlebars just a little. It will walk over big roots of trees with no problem. You can take off the outside tines and till a very small row of about 5" I believe which is great for weeding and making water ways for gardens.
There are 4 ways you can transport it. Carry it with the carring handle, put it in a wheel barrell, with a little throttle walk it on the tines or use the transport wheels.
The old 100 had gear problems from what I have read. The new FG110 has changed and incorperated a new worm gear for smooth, strong and reliable tilling.
I LOVE mine needless to say! I use it everyplace now.
Some people even pull theirs backwards. I have done that but cannot understand why others do. Maybe the soil they are working?
I don't know how any other tiller could be as quiet, strong and reliable as the Honda FG110.
I highly recommend it.
I have to wonder where the value is, in recommending a product that is apparently no longer available. If the Troy-Built unit you speak about is so awesome a tool, then one has to wonder why it doesn't show up on the Troy-Built website.
The only "mini-tiller" I can find is the TB144 4-stroke gas cultivator/edger with a 26 cc engine and they conveniently omit telling you the actual weight of that tool.
So......as wonderous as your five year old 49cc powerhouse might be, if it can't be bought today at a store or on-line, then how is anyone going to follow your recommendation?
And yes, the four-stroke Honda powered tillers are the quietest of the gas powered units but the newest Echo 2 strokes have cut their noise level dramatically. Not as quiet as the Hondas but not as pricey either.
After all, it's only a weeding and tilling device......not a lawn tractor.
Here is a link that might be useful: Troy
Let me give my little ryobi some props here. I've had this little cultivator for 3 years now and its worked really good. I bought it a Home Depot for about 200, gas powered 2stroke model. After buying it, i read bad things online, especially about starting. I've never had issues with mine, it always starts easily and runs perfect. I plant a small garden, only about 20x30, but the soil isn't very good. There are quite a few rocks and some roots. This little ryobi handles it fine and is holding up well.
People that buy Ryobi are usually home owner that don't know how to maintain the engine. THey leave gas in for long time, and wrong ratio. Then the equipment die and they whine about it on the web!!!
I talked to someone that use Ryobi for commercial use and consistansly get 500 hours out of each one. Which is very good!!!
I personally like to have good stuff, I got a Mantis with Honda engine. The gear box went out in 8 months because they forgot to put grease in it!!!! They replaced a new one for me. The main thing is the attachments. I love the dethatcher tine on the Mantis.
I've used a Husqvarna CT20 mini tiller and a Stihl mini tiller, both worked well. The Stihl was a bit easier to control, it has small adjustable wheels mounted on it. The CT20 tended to bounce around if you didn't pay close attention.
BTW, my Husqvarna CT20 has died so if anyone has a CT20 they would be interested in selling for parts please let me know.
Jim M
Do yourself a favour, buy a new one direct from Mantis. You have one year money back, no shipment guarantee. THey are very good in warrantee. I have direct experience with them. YOu don't get this service if you get it anywhere else.
If you insist on a used one, get on ebay. But by the time you bid and shipment, you are not going to be much ahead and you are taking a big chance. With direct from Mantis, you get true 2 years warrantee.

Troy Healthcare has acquired the Stopain topical analgesic brand from DRJ Group Inc. and plans to ship a new pain relief gel to retailers early this year.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
HAZELTON, Pa. – Troy Healthcare has acquired the Stopain topical analgesic brand from DRJ Group Inc. and plans to ship a new pain relief gel to retailers early this year.
Financial terms of the agreement weren't disclosed. Troy Healthcare is a subsidiary of Troy Manufacturing Inc., which has made Stopain products since 2002. Troy said the establishment of Troy Healthcare "created the unique opportunity for the company to have unprecedented control over its brand and products from conception to completion."
"With eight years of manufacturing knowledge and experience with Stopain products, Troy Healthcare will utilize its proven expertise in research and development to take the Stopain product line to the next level," stated Bob Miller, speaking on behalf of Troy Healthcare. "The release of Stopain gel substantiates the company's pledge to develop scientifically advanced products for healthy living."
Plans call for the new Stopain Pain Relieving Gel to hit store shelves in early 2011. Troy said the nongreasy, nonstaining and pleasantly scented gel contains 38% more of the active ingredient menthol than any other product in the cooling gel category. According to the company, menthol is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as an analgesic that provides temporary relief from minor pains and stiffness of arthritis, muscle aches, strains and back pain.
Stopain Pain Relieving Gel, which comes in a 2.5-ounce tube with a flip-top cap for easy opening, carries a suggested retail price of $5.99.
The new gel joins the brand's other topical pain relief products, including Stopain Spray and Stopain Roll-On. Stopain products are sold at such chain drug retailers as CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart and Meijer.

Private funds make a difference
Fort Hays State Historic Site
This site reopened in September 2010 with new exhibits made possible with public and private support. The newly renovated visitor center tells the story of the clash of cultures between Plains Indians and American settlers. Exhibits in the newly renovated guardhouse give visitors a glimpse into the everyday lives of enlisted soldiers. Exhibits on the grounds tell of the buildings and people of Fort Hays.
How the $300,000 renovation and reinterpretation happened
The State Historic Sites Division received $114,000 from a Preserve America matching grant for the guardhouse.
The Kansas Historical Foundation approached the Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan and Senator Bob Dole. They provided $150,000 for the match.
Private funding also came from annual member donations to the Kansas Historical Foundation during the 2009-2010 drive for the unrestricted Kansas history fund. A total of $25,000 from the unrestricted history fund was critical to finish the Fort Hays State Historical Site reinterpretation in fiscal year 2010.
Additional private funds were raised through the Partnership Historic Sites tax credit program.
Special Exhibits
State appropriations to the Kansas Historical Society, the state agency, have been reduced several times in the last couple of years. Funding for special exhibits was included in these reductions. In order for the Kansas Museum of History to present a new exhibit to bring in repeat visitors, private funding must be pursued to cover these costs.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., provided a donation of $20,000 to help create the recent Cars: The Need for Speed special exhibit.
Capitol Federal Foundation provided a gift of $17,500 to help to created 150 Things I Love About Kansas History, the special sesquicentennial exhibit opened Kansas Day 2011.
These two exhibits would not have been produced without private funds.
Field trip subsidies
The Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan generously provided field trip subsidies to schools from northwest Kansas in observance of the Kansas sesquicentennial in 2011 to visit the Kansas Museum of History's special exhibit, 150 Things I Love About Kansas.
The Johnson County Heritage Trust Fund grants helped to cover the costs of field trips to Shawnee Indian Mission State Historic Site in Fairway.
The W.S. & E.C. Jones Trust helps to cover the costs of field trips to William Allen White House State Historic Site in Emporia.

MH370: Malaysia Airlines plane search halts overnight
An international air search in the Indian Ocean for possible debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has ended for the day, officials have said.
Australia, New Zealand and the US said bad weather had hampered their efforts in the area 2,500km (1,550 miles) south-west of Perth.
Four planes were trying to check whether two objects seen on satellite images were debris from flight MH370.
The Kuala Lumpur-Beijing plane with 239 people on board disappeared on 8 March.
It is an "utterly baffling mystery", according to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, as the hunt for flight MH370 continues in the icy waters of the southern Indian Ocean.
Merchant navy ships are converging on the area south-west of Perth, along with military vessels and aircraft, scouring the seas for what could be vital clues.
Academics say the relatively large size of the unidentified objects spotted by satellite - about 24m in length - suggests that if the fragments are part of the missing jet, the aircraft was largely intact when it hit the water.
Oceanographers here in Western Australia believe that if the debris is from the Malaysia airlines flight it probably crashed about 300-400km to the west due to prevailing currents. The search stretches across 7.7 million sq km - an area larger than the entire landmass of Australia.
It first lost contact with air traffic controllers and then disappeared from radar.
Satellite information releasedMeanwhile, a British satellite firm has told the BBC there were very strong indications 10 days ago that the 777 Boeing would be found either in the southern part of the Indian Ocean or in Central Asia - and not in the South China Sea or the Malacca Straits where Malaysia had continued to search.
London-based Inmarsat said its engineers realised at an early stage that the aircraft had probably flown for several hours on a northern or southern track, and it was very unlikely that the plane could have headed north over countries with sophisticated air defence systems.
The company further said that it had informed the Malaysian authorities of the information, through an intermediary company, on 12 March, but this was not publicly acknowledged until 15 March.
Furthermore, the authorities continued to search in the South China Sea and Malacca Straits during that time, despite the information suggesting that the plane had flown on much further.
The BBC's Andrew Moore says the Malaysian authorities have already come in for criticism from the relatives' families and that these revelations may fuel that anger.
'Extremely bad'A statement by Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) said the four planes had searched the vast area without success.
"The search will continue on Friday," it said.
Two Australian Orion aircraft searching the area on Thursday were joined later by aircraft from the US and New Zealand.
Amsa said the aircraft had covered an area of 23,000 sq km (14,000 square miles).
The captain of the first Australian air force AP-3C Orion plane to return from the search area described the weather conditions as "extremely bad" with rough seas and high winds.
David Wright, an ABC News reporter who was on the P-8 Poseidon, said all the sophisticated plane had spotted was "a freighter and two pods of dolphins".
A Norwegian merchant ship, the St Petersburg, has also arrived in the area after responding to a shipping broadcast issued by Australia's rescue co-ordination centre.
It will be joined by an Australian naval vessel, HMAS Success and a British coastal survey ship, HMS Echo.
'Best lead'Earlier on Thursday, Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein described the possible sighting of debris on satellite images taken on 16 March as a "credible lead".
The largest object appeared to be 24m (78ft) in size, the Australian authorities said.
A number of sightings of possible debris have been investigated since the plane went missing but so far none have proved to be linked.
The objects identified in the images were of a "reasonable size", Amsa's general manager John Young said.
"This is a lead, it is probably the best lead we have right now. But we need to get there, find them, see them, assess them, to know whether it's really meaningful or not."
He warned the objects spotted in the sea could turn out to be unrelated to MH370, possibly items such as containers that had fallen from ships.
"On this particular occasion the size and the fact that there are multiple [objects] located in the same area really makes it worth looking at," Mr Young added.
Michael Daniel, a former US Federal Aviation Administration official, told Singapore's Straits Times: "If they have a strong feeling or indication that the debris belongs to the aircraft, one of the first things authorities will do is drop sonar buoys in the water.
"If the black box (flight recorder) is there, the buoys should be able to pick up the signals. This could take up to 48 hours but it all depends on how near or far the ships and other assets are."
Satellite signalInvestigators had identified two corridors of territory - one to the north and one to the south - spanning the possible positions of the plane about seven hours after take-off.
This was based on its last faint signal to a satellite - an hourly "handshake" broadcast even when the main communication systems are switched off.
Malaysia says search efforts are continuing in both corridors, involving a total of 18 ships, 29 aircraft and six ship-borne helicopters.
Meanwhile, relatives of those on board are still waiting for concrete news.
Bimal Sharma, a merchant navy captain whose sister Chandrika was on the plane, told the BBC he had experienced "hope and then despair and then hope and then despair".
"I have been very hopeful because it was intentionally diverted, so I don't believed it was crashed," he said. "It's been a very, very difficult time, and very emotionally stressing.
"The area where Australia is looking - I was a captain at sea - I have been through that area several times. This area has got a concentration of garbage - plastics and wood. I don't know, I don't want to believe it as yet."

GG. have just looked up the order. It was for begonias and 200 summer bulbs, to be dispatched by 31st March, so should be here any day, hopefully..
That was short and sweet Dave
Morning All.
Lovely morning here in Lincolnshire. slight frost but no ice on the pond.
I'm waiting for my order from Thompson and Morgan I ordered via the Daliy Mail, begonias a few other things, i've forgotten what, so will be a surprise when they arrive.
Have a good day.
Sounds idyllic Lizzie. Hope if my daughter decides to get married again, she's had one go but got a rotter, she would go for something like that. She and her partner are busy getting their home together and show no interest in marriage, perhaps a case of once bitten.
looks great Flo. I expect you are busy planning to set it up and with so many lovely plants to choose from it will no doubt be a great pleasure. Could just do with some warmer weather.
LeadFarmer, great looking garden! congratulations.
We are always looking for ways to improve ours.
Thanks for sharing everyone.
We have more frogspawn this year than we have ever had and we have lived here since 1965. Everyday we get more and more Some that was laid first is looking a bit manky but hopefully the rest will have a chance.
Nr Lincoln.
Bright sunshine and a degree warmer than yesterday reaching the dizzy heights of 8c. but it is creeping up, so not too bad.
Hi everyone.
Bjay, yes it works for peas, we have done some several times and have got some on the go now. If you are troubled with mice digging them up, snails or pigeons its a good idea. We have got ours in the greenhouse to give them a bit of a head start, so you have to be careful not to over water them, a mistake we have made in the past.
Been to town and of course came back with a couple of things I didn't actually go for including some more trailing begonia corms. I've lost a couple of mine over the winter, they have gone all mushy, so thought I would replace them.
Is this small text a thing that is going to stay? Most annoying, I know you can adjust it but it is a bit of a bind.
Bjay. - Hope your foot continues to improve
Of to get tea ready.
Got to go into town today to get paint for the newly repaired gate, one job that got done over the Easter weekend, to blooming cold to be outside. OH managed to get some pricking out done, french marigold and some potting up, just wish it would warm up
Will have a look round Wilko's to see if they have got any bargains.
Not much else to report in this neck of the woods.
Catch you later, new and old forkers.
Hi Becks.
I wanted the rose compost because I'm putting them in pots, just gives them the correct soil for the plant when confined to a pot, it's got a bid more body. If I were planting in a border I would put my homemade compost and bonemeal in the hole to give them a good start, well rotted manure dug in, would be even better, if you can get it..
Just been out to pot up a couple of roses,Little White Pet, to have on the patio to find that the compost we bought was the wrong sort We ask the chap at the garden centre to load us a bag of Tree, Shrub and Rose compost and he gave us hanging basket compost, should have checked as he loaded it I suppose, but we bought grow bags and some more stuff and didn't notice.
Will now have to make another journey to GC
Sound as if everyone's been busy today, but it's still too cold to be out for long.
Leftovers for tea then a relaxing evening after having to family over yesterday.

ESSEX — On Friday night, at 6:45, a Wood Drive resident called to report a dog was shot with a pellet gun. Although it was unclear whether or not the animal died, charges may be pending for the party responsible. The case is still under investigation by police who would not divulge any more information.
A driver was so angered by an Essex resident's driving, he followed the resident from Beverly to Essex. Police said the incident started in Beverly on Route 128 as the two were heading into Essex. At 9:37 a.m. Sunday, the driver following the Essex resident reported to police that the Essex resident was driving erratically and irresponsibly. The Essex resident was issued a warning.
Another driver, operating a gold-colored sport utility vehicle, was reported to be driving erratically on Choate Street on Saturday at 10:23 p.m. Police tracked down a vehicle matching the description; however the responding officers said the operator was not driving erratically.
On Saturday, there was a report of harassment involving a driver. Shortly before 9 a.m., an Essex resident was driving on Haskell Court when somebody began making obscene gestures; the resident has a restraining order against the gesturer. Police said the matter was under investigation.
A deer was struck by a pickup truck Sunday shortly before 7 p.m. The animal was hit on Western Avenue; there was no damage to the truck or injuries reported by the driver, but the deer died. The Department of Public Works was notified to collect the carcass.
Icy road conditions were reported Saturday at 4:21 p.m. by police around Eastern Avenue; the Department of Public Works was notified.
On Sunday night, a good Samaritan turned in a checkbook he found at a Main Street business. Police are trying to return it to the owner.
Early Monday, shortly after midnight, a Winthrop Street resident was transported to Beverly Hospital.
Police Chief Peter Silva urged residents to keep their car doors locked and valuables out of sight during the holiday season. He said gifts and other items can make a great target for a thief or burglar.
"As always, report any suspicious activity," he said.
James Niedzinski can be reached at 978-283-7000, x3455 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reinventing monopolies: Part 1
They all have a beginning, a middle and an end
Thomas Frey
In 1936, Edwin Howard Armstrong unveiled an improvement in radio that would later become known as FM radio. Working out of an office on the 82nd floor of the Empire State Building, an office provided by RCA, Armstrong was on the verge of revolutionizing the radio industry. But it was a revolution that would not happen for several decades.
Armstrong was a true innovator in communications technology, first patenting three breakthrough technologies between 1914 and 1922. By early 1923, Armstrong was a millionaire as a result of licensing his patents to RCA.
David Sarnoff, then President of RCA and former friend of Armstrong, decided the switch from AM to FM would undermine the current AM monopoly. Sarnoff came to see FM as a threat and refused to support it further. What once seemed like a sure thing quickly turned into an industry black sheep.
After countless years of court battles with RCA and others, financially drained, Armstrong gave up the battle. Removing the air conditioner from the window of his 13th floor apartment in New York City, he jumped to his death on Jan. 31, 1954.
Due to the actions of RCA, FM technology sat on the sidelines for two decades waiting for legal battles to play out. It wasn't until 1952 that Blaupunkt would become the first radio manufacturer to offer FM receivers for cars, and it wasn't until 1978 that listenership to FM stations would finally exceed that of AM stations in North America.
The story of FM radio typifies what we've all come to think of as the overarching ruthless power of monopolies. But what a monopoly is and how it gets formed is being reinvented by some very shrewd business people using tools that didn't exist 20 years ago.
The Human Nature of Monopolies
In economic terms, a monopoly exists when a single entity has enough control over an industry to determine the terms of access for products or services.
In a free enterprise system, the game of business is a competitive sport that rewards aggressive personalities. As a result, some monopolies form naturally out of the competitive nature of generally accepted business practices such as with Google's search engine, Microsoft's Office products, or Facebook's social networking system.
One thing they all have in common is an "unusual competitive advantage" stemming from economic barriers such as economies of scale, capital requirements, cost advantages, and technological superiority. However they can also be formed around legal barriers and deliberate actions.
In the recently released book "The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires" written by Columbia Law Professor Tim Wu, Tim does a masterful job of describing the history of communications in the U.S. starting with the telegraph and the growing power of Western Union.
As Dr. Wu describes, nearly every new form of communication technology begins with a period of experimentation followed by overly optimistic speculation on the freedom and openness it will bring to the masses But over time, one dominant player will emerge to usurp control of the industry, and turn it into a monopoly.
The Life Cycle of a Monopoly
One thing history has taught us is that all monopolies end. Given the fact that they end, we can begin to distinguish the characteristics of the beginning, middle, and end as well as the turning points along the way.
Government sanctioned monopolies granted to the likes of power, natural gas, and cable TV companies requiring their own infrastructure tend to have much longer cycles. Natural-forming monopolies in rapidly changing tech spaces, like the short-lived dominance of MySpace in social networking circles, can be measured in months, not years.
As Professor Wu says, "Info-monopolies tend to be good-to-great in the short term and bad-to-terrible in the long term. Today, a single search engine has made virtually everyone's life simpler and easier, just as a single phone network did 100 years ago. Monopolies also generate enormous profits that can be reinvested into expansion, research and even public projects: AT&T wired America and invented the transistor; Google is scanning the world's libraries. The downside shows up later, as the monopolist ages and the will to innovate is replaced by mere will to power."

But Coldplay are getting a second chance at making sense of their 2011 album title with a six-part comic book series, published in early 2013 by Matt Groening's imprint Bongo Comics Group. The project was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, but the band have leap-frogged the promotion cycle and used their song "Hurts Like Heaven" to soundtrack an animated teaser-trailer for the upcoming release.
Written by Academy Award winner Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda) and illustrated by Alejandro Fuentes, the story is basically this: In the world of Silencia, a gang of humanoid streetwriters called the Car Kids paint the city with neon graffiti-mana in some kind of civil disobedience against Major Minus and his army of Silencers. Because, in this dystopia, sound and color are illegal. Two of the Car Kids — Lela and Aiko — fall in love, just as they get captured by foot soldiers. The art direction closely mirrors the bright, explosive colors of Mylo Xyloto's album art and Coldplay's current stage design.
What exactly does any of this have to do with xylophone toes? Maybe it'll be explained in the DVD extras one day.

This is the full name of a recent movie.
Is this use of the apostrophe consistent with modern guidellines?
Note that Lee Daniels is the name of the director.
Yes. There is variation in practice, but as noted in MWDEU, it is common to use the apostrophe alone with multisyllabic names ending with /s/ or /z/.

Perhaps we find ourselves in an alternate universe? [guidellines]
I do n't think that this use of the "'" is consistent with "modern guidellines"
but what of the etymology of "apostrophe" itself?
See, for instance, http://oxforddictionaries.com/us/words/apostrophe
With personal names that end in -s: add an apostrophe plus s when you would naturally pronounce an extra s if you said the word out loud: He joined Charles's army in 1642. Dickens's novels provide a wonderful insight into Victorian England. Thomas's brother was injured in the accident. Note that there are some exceptions to this rule, especially in names of places or organizations, for example: St Thomas' Hospital ... With personal names that end in -s but are not spoken with an extra s: just add an apostrophe after the -s: The court dismissed Bridges' appeal. Connors' finest performance was in 1991.
(I personally would omit the final s in Dickens's, both in pronouncing it and writing it.)
A nice concise one from the World English Dictionary:
from Late Latin, from Greek apostrophos mark of elision, from apostrephein to turn away
One might add "via French" to that "from late Latin".
It's common enough that I'd call it a style choice.
Garner doesn't mention the topic, which is surprising.
MWDEU calls it "the chief variation" regarding apostrophe use, and says "some writers" do it.
The Cambridge Guide to English Usage gives the most explication of the issue. It outlines four different practices: 1) Literary, classical, and religious names get the apostrophe only, all others apostrophe s (e.g., Keats' and Jones's) 2) As above, except only names of more than one syllable get the apostrophe s (e.g., Menzies's, Keats's, and Jesus') 3) Any name ending in a "long 'eez' sound" uses an apostrophe only (e.g., Jones's and Xerxes') 4) Any name whose possessive is pronounced with the same number of syllables as the plain form takes only the apostrophe (the guide points out that this one is the most problematic, as pronunciation varies)
Pullum and Huddleston are most on point. They say, "there is a good deal of variation here and it is not possible to give hard and fast rules. The bare genitive [i.e., apostrophe only] is most widely used with classical, religious, and literary names [...]. Elsewhere it is normally restricted to names pronounced with a voiced /z/ rather than voiceless /s/ [...]. Examples like Ross' are sometimes attested but they are of questionable acceptability; Ross's is the normal form, and in speech the /iz/ is required." Simply substitute Daniels for Ross in their example.
Editing Canadian English says, "there is little agreement in the treatment of the possessive of proper nouns ending in a sounded s or z." [This book also notes that many corporate names in Canada omit the apostrophe where their name would traditionally have it in order to comply with Quebec's language laws, which forbid the apostrophe in such cases. That of course isn't relevant to the topic at hand, but it's very Canadian.]
It violates MLA style.
It violates Chicago style.
It violates Oxford style.
It violates Australian government style.
In summary, there doesn't appear to be any regional variation in the practice. It's muddled everywhere that English is written. The only consistency seems to be found among professional publishing houses, who would require Daniels's Butler. But movie studios aren't obliged to follow the follow the style manuals of publishers.
In the case of movie titles, I would suspect that the graphic artists designing the posters and ads have more influence on the subject than the copy editors. The choice will be to go with whatever looks cleanest and best, rather than traditional editorial rules or how the words are pronounced.
As I said here, it should historically be said with three syllables ("apostroff"), and it is odd that purists don't complain about the vulgar four-syllable pronunciation.

Johnson suffered non-life threatening injuries to her body and forehead.
She continues to recover.
Police say the hit-and-run vehicle was a dark-blue Cadillac with the letters "HTL" on a Pennsylvania license plate.

@Clippers - Great question. I think you should look outside of the field of English. As long as you are reading a lot of novels you will get all the training you need in vocabulary, grammar, form and all the other tools you need to write.
What is harder to find is imagination and experience. Learn as much as you can about the world and then you will begin to see stories everywhere.

A Thank You From Landon's Family
To the town of Estes Park,
I want to thank everyone for their donations. It means more to us than words could possibly say.
No one ever imagines themselves to be in a position to take care of a child as special as Landon. He has taught our family and everyone around us about unconditional love. He means so much to so many people and it means the world to me that everyone has participated in raising awareness of his disease and to raise much needed funds for our family. Again, thank you so much!

I was updating thoughts on VV Brown and Kanye West, and thought I should touch bases.
Meetings are being held today as to who we report to, and who is directly in charge of VH1Soul, so that we know who to take your complaints to. Believe it or not people… there is no "Head" of VH1Soul. Just a lot of us interns running around handling different aspects of the channel. Since everyone reported to someone different (and most them people have been laid off… eeeesh), everything is all over the place. Now that everyone is back in the office, its time to rally and focus on who we need to take this to directly, and how we can get it to these people in the most effective way.
I'm talking too much, really (this post might delete or self destruct shortly after you read it), but I want you to know that we DO hear you, and we are working on SOMETHING, fast. for now, if you have a twitter, you can shoot all questions to @SaveVH1Soul, or @EmpressEricka. We will try to do our best to get at you with any info that we have.
All we ask is that you PLEASE continue to spread the word. Retweet anything valid you read, tell your friends whats going on. They were trying to keep this a secret from us AND the viewers… like, one day *COUGH*March 1st*COUGH* you were basically going to just wake up and have NO VH1Soul… or have it merged into BETJazz. Now theres NO way, knowing the amount of people out there who enjoy this programming…. that we were gonna let VH1Soul go out like VH1Rock (yeah, I didn't forget that sh*t. VH1Classic does NOT count). Now heres the thing… If you've got Beyonce' on Z100 talking about how much SHE loves VH1Soul just a few days ago… then somethings gotta be done, don't you agree?
Thank you for all your support.

The Bluffton PD has been doing a pretty good job of patrolling Buck Island Road for speeders since the annexation and I hope they increase their patrols. I just left my house and headed towards Bluffton on Buck Island Road and some yahoo passed me going about 60 and almost caused me to hit an oncoming bicycle.

As the primary telephone answering device for our company I am constantly amazed at the number of people who call and just say "let me speak to Joe". They don't bother to say good afternoon this is Sam could I please speak to Joe? Noooo, just let me speak to Joe or they ask for someone and I say "I'm sorry he is not in the office at the moment could I take a message?" and their reply is "when will he be back?". Well let me be the first to educate people on business telpehone manners: 1. When you call a business please identify yourself.

According to the consultants the county has hired to do the Southern Beaufort County Regional Plan within the next 15 to 20 years we will be short $345 million for roads, schools and parks and we currently have 67,179 residents in Southern Beaufort County which means that if each of us paid $342.36 per year for the next 15 years we could handle that. However, by voting for an increase in the sales tax we can shift a good portion of that debt to the thousands of tourists who flock here every year. Heck we paid for the Hwy 170 widening in short order with a sales tax increase.

Thank you to the 81 voters of Buck Island/Simmonville Road --- now, thanks to your inability to see the "Big Picture" not only will the people in the annexation area pay more in property taxes but all the people who shop at any of the commercial businesses in the annexation area will pay more for the goods and services those businesses sell. I guess ya'll don't realize that those businesses will not only have to pay more in property tax but will also have to buy a Town of Bluffton Business License.

I would like to bring something to everyone's attention - belive it or not the Palmetto Chapter of the American Red Cross doesn't even have a decent Emergency Response Vehicle (EVR). The one they have is old and almost not in operable condition. My husband and I just went to Brunson, SC and picked up an ERV that they aren't using anymore and although it is better the one they currently have it still isn't the greatest.

I want to thank everyone who has participated in the blogs on this site to bring this horrible incident to light. What a great community we live in. I just finished reading Erinn McGuire's post to my previous blog where she quoted in part from the police report that was filed on this incident. Erinn thanks for posting this for all to see. My basic point still remains -- Mr. Sipla (sp?) had a responsibility to provide adequate food, water and shelter for this dog and he did not.

I was told an unbelievable story this morning so I call the Beaufort County Sheriff's office to confirm before I wrote this blog. Over the 4th of July weekend the owner of Sunshine Nursery allowed his guard dog to die of heat exhaustion. The dog was discovered by some citizens who flagged down a Sheriff's Deputy who climbed over the fence at Sunshine Nursery to try to revive the dog, couldn't revive him so transported him to a local vet who pronounced the dog dead.

[Enclosure A] Elizabeth Town July 5 1865 Dear Sir I received yours of 22d June some time since, and being half sick & run to death with office & Court business, has delayed my answer In reference to my recollections of Abraham Lincolns father & Mother &c you have been laboring under a mistake, My own recollection of the Matter assures me that you were Mistaken & a letter I have from Abraham Lincoln himself Confirms all, The old man Lincoln "Thomas Lincoln" but when here he was always called Linkhorn The old Gentleman was a young unmarried man when I first knew him in 1805 or 1806, he was a very illiterate man a tolerable Country house Carpenter worked some on my fathers house in 1805 and afterward done all the Carpenter work on Hardin Thomas' house, the work is yet to be seen tolerably sound, He married Nancy Hanks whose Mother was a wife of old Sammy Youngs, [1] the same old man that married Sousana Sawyer Thomas Lincoln as the name was always spelld but pronounced Linkhorn was a low heavy built clumsy honest man, his wife was rather a heavy built Squatty woman, (the Lord only knows except Abe Enlow did where Abraham Lincoln got his length & his sense) [2] Abraham Lincoln was born Feby 12 1809. near Hodgens Mill then in Hardin County now Larue & the Hodgen Mill is now Hodgenville, the County seat of Larue County. How old Abraham Lincoln was when the old man left Hardin County I can not tell, However Abraham before he left went to school to Caleb Hazle who lived beyond Hodgens Mill After old man Lincoln moved to Grayson & then to Indiana he lost his Hanks wife and then he came to Kentucky to get another wife Do you remember Sally Bush who married Danl Johnson the Jailor who lived on the alley below me. Johnson died of the cold plague [3] about the 4th or 5 day of April 1814 and if I mistake not you & Rhodes Vanmetre, Wal. Whitaker & myself laid Johnson out he left one or two children one named John Johnson. She lived an honest poor widow until 2d December 1819 & she lived in a round log Cabin just below me about that time old Mr Thomas Lincoln came to Kentucky for the express purpose of Marrying the widow When he called to see her about the following Conversation took place T. Lincoln Well Miss Johnson, I have no wife & you have no husband I came a purpose to mary you I knowed you from a gal & you knowed me from a boy I have no time to loose and if you are willing, let it be done Straight off Mrs Johnson. Tommy I know you well & have no objection to marrying you, but I cannot do it straight off as I owe some debts that must first be paid" He asked her for a list of them which was given, he went & paid them off that same day next Morning I issued his license & they were Married Straight off on that day & left & I never saw her nor Tom Lincoln since Abraham Lincoln just before the Presidential election in answer to a letter from me, informed that his father was long since dead that his step Mother was living with her son John Johnson and was comfortably off Lincoln had no half brother or step brother named Bush, but if any they were named Johnson or if any children followed and after Abrahams election & before left for Washington he called on his step Mother It is to me matter of Astonishment about Lincolns rise from such obscurity to the first office of the Nation He was certainly a favorite of providence and I am thoroughly Convinced that he was not only a good man, but one of Natures great men. A yarn is told of him that on one occasion he was splitting rails with only shirt & breeches on Collar open & in that plight was not very likely to look at, a man happened to be passing with a gun, Called to Lincoln to look up which he did, the man raised his gun in an attitude to shoot. Says Lincoln What do you mean, the man replied that he had promised to shoot the first man he met who was uglier than himself Lincoln asked to see the mans face & after taking a look remarked If I am uglier then you, then blaze away opening his shirt bosom. I have received a letter from Mr Herndon himself & have not yet replied, You may send this letter Some body in Iowa, has been beseeching me for one of Lincolns original letters. I have five, the only one I felt willing to spare was marked, private & Confidential. Absolute press of business and illness has made this delay. but it has enabled me to speak more accurately By searching the old Marriage Register I find that Sally Bush was married to Daniel Johnson 13 March 1806 by Ben Ogden ME. preacher I know from personal knowledge that Johnson died early in April 1814 The Marriage Register was badly kept indeed was not kept at all, previous to my being clerk. I made out the Register from Ministers returns on licenses in the office up to 1813 and in doing so I overlooked or did not find the record of the Mariage of Thomas Lincoln & Nancy Hanks Thomas Lincoln died near 10 years before the date of A. Lincolns letter to me May 1860 [4] so the old gentleman died about 1850. on a farm bought by Abraham Lincoln & presented to his father & Step Mother She the Step Mother is still living & near about 80 years old lives with her son in law John Hall in Effingham Co Illinois 8 Miles from Charleston & 18 miles from Mattoon these last facts I have from our Townsman Isaac Radly who saw the widow about 16 days ago She had no child by Tho Lincoln. Yours truly

Dec 17, 2012 11:24 PM by Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Several California lawmakers are reacting to the mass shooting a Connecticut elementary school by calling for new laws that they say are aimed at increasing safety, either through gun control or improved security at public schools.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced federal legislation that would ban new assault weapons, as well as magazines, drums and strips of more than 10 bullets.
State Sen. Leland Yee says he will introduce a bill to close what he calls a loophole in the state's ban on assault weapons and is considering changes to state gun laws on everything from background checks to storage regulations.
Sen. Kevin de Leon said his proposal would increase the restrictions on purchasing ammunition by requiring buyers to get a permit, undergo a background check and pay a fee.
And state Sen. Ted Lieu announced plans to re-introduce legislation aimed at requiring schools to be better prepared for emergency situations such as a gunman on the loose.
