The Potters confirmed the loan signing of Chelsea's Victor Moses on Saturday – a few hours before their opening day defeat by Villa at the Britannia Stadium.
An Andreas Weimann goal was enough to give Villa the three points, and Hughes insists he will not be forced into making any panic signings.
"We don't expect to do anything more. It's a case of working with the group that we have got," the Welshman said.
"Victor's a good young player and hasn't had many opportunities in the past couple of years. He's got pace and he's got power, and that's what we need."
Hughes admits that Villa were tactically superior in Saturday's clash and believes his side need time to gel - with new boys Bojan Krkic, Mame Diouf and Phil Bardsley failing to have an impact on the game.
"In fairness to them, they came and had a game plan. They worked hard at it and made it difficult for us to play the way we wanted to play. We have to accept that," he said.
"When you concede the first goal in the Premier League, that's a huge disadvantage and that really played into their hands. It was more difficult for us because they were able to sit back and we had to be cleverer in our play, show more guile in and around their final third and we weren't able to.
"That was difficult for us but it's a learning process. We have a number of players that haven't been with us for long and we need to work with them. It was a day that we expected to do better but credit to Villa – they got the goal, got their noses in front and were able to see the game out."
Bojan arrived in the summer with a lofty reputation, having been touted as a future star during his days at Barcelona. However, the Spaniard failed to shine on Saturday and Hughes believes the 23-year-old needs time to adapt to the Premier League.
"I thought he did OK. In the second half we didn't find him in the areas where he can do the most damage and that was true for a number of our creative players," Hughes admitted.
"We need to find a way to get the best out of his ability that he undoubtedly has."

+1 Perhaps the OP can take items from these responses and make a generalized list (which is the first step). Perhaps Borticus will kindly sticky this thread if the OP creates a list in his first post?
1) I know that many big fleets out there will not use SNB doffs (yes, even post nerf) unless they are being used on them.
2) TBR is definitely broken and and is a no-no in fair play
3) "Danoob" shuttles
Those are to get the list started (at least until Tuesday for one of them)
While no one can stop people from using exploits, broken items and the like, at least the knowledge can be increased and culminated into a "community endorsed" list to show cryptic what is wrong about their balancing.
Make this thread serve multiple purposes.
my new saying is "cryptic made me do it" in lieu of the the "devil"

Hi my names emily. I've tried to conceive for over four years now. I've just had my first ultrasound from IVF number three. First cycle failed and second cycle we miscarried. This third cycle we transferred two hatching blast and one blast that didn't look good at all. We learned today we have three!! Two identical in the same sac and then the third in its own sac.

£2.90 from Ebay (UK), with screen protector, hard case, slightly rubberized, but not too much to be "sticky" when sliding into pocket. Very thin, will add very little bulk/weight to phone, and will stop the back getting scratched from laying around. Prefer this option to a protector on the back as well. All the cutouts are well cut, and appear to be in the right places. Back, side, and maybe a little corner protection, clips on. Sorry about the quality of pics.
Linky thing for anyone interested

Car Problem Reports
Toyota Corolla Catalytic Converter
Toyota Corolla Problem
8 Reports
Model Years Affected: 1999, 2001, 2002
Average Mileage: 145,750 mi (83,000 mi - 190,000 mi)
Visitor, 1999 Toyota Corolla, 170,000 mi
My Corolla had the P0420 code. The fuel line was recently serviced, and then this code came up within days afterwards. This car has been burning oil for years. I have to pour about 10 quarts a year into the car. I went ahead and got the catalytic converter replaced, though I am not sure if this was necessary. The car has 170,000 miles so I assumed that the part probably was worn out.

K Phite Fungicide
I am looking for a very small amount of K Phite. I found a source to buy it from but it is $87 for 2 1/2 gallons which is more than I wanted to spend for this. I have one daylily that I purchased that I am worried about getting rot. I bought Scandinavia about a month ago and paid a pretty penny for it only to lose it to rot. The seller finally agreed to send a replacement and I am worried that it may be getting rot as well. All of my other daylilies are fine but I need to treat it before I lose it too. I have heard that K Phite does great in stopping rot in it's tracks. Would anyone be willing to sell me a small amount? I would really appreciate it!
"Rot" is not very descriptive :-) Daylilies can get a number of different types of root rots and they may respond to any number of fungicides, depending on the organism.
FWIW, Aliette is a phosphonate based systemic fungicide similar to K Phite that is pretty widely available and in affordable small quantities. You can purchase it online.

I started this blog so the child I gave up for adoption could get to know me, and in turn, her children, as well as share stories for a family that lives too far away. So please keep it friendly, kid safe, and open to discussion, not criticism. This is my home. You can live in yours as you wish, but this is my place.
Enjoy your time here and I hope you come away with good thoughts and memories.

CHAPTER 3 COST-VOLUME-PROFIT ANALYSIS TRUE/FALSE 1.To perform cost-volume-profit analysis, a company must be able to separate costs into fixed and variable components. Answer : True/False 2. It is assumed in CVP analysis that the unit selling price, unit variable costs, and unit fixed costs are known and constant. Answer : True/False 3. In CVP analysis, variable costs include direct variable costs, but do not include indirect variable costs. Answer : True/False 4. In CVP analysis, an assumption is made that the total revenues are linear with respect to output units, but that total costs are non-linear with respect to output units. Answer : True/False 5. If the selling price per unit is $20 and the contribution margin percentage is 30%, then the variable cost per unit must be $6. Answer : True/False 6.The selling price per unit is $30, variable cost per unit $20, and fixed cost per unit is $3. When this company operates above the breakeven point, the sale of one more unit will increase net income by $7. Answer : True/False 7. If the selling price per unit of a product is $50, variable costs per unit are $40, and total fixed costs are $50,000, a company must sell 6,000 units to make a target operating income of $10,000. Answer : True/False 3-1 8. An increase in the tax rate will increase the breakeven point. Answer : True/False 9. If variable costs per unit increase, then the breakeven point will decrease. Answer : True/False 10. If a company increases fixed costs, then the breakeven point will be lower. Answer : True/False 11. Companies that are substituting fixed costs for variable costs receive a greater per unit return above the breakeven point. Answer : True/False 12. A company with a high degree of operating leverage is at lesser risk during downturns in the economy. Answer : True/False 13. If a company has a degree of operating leverage of 2.0, that means a 20% increase in sales will result in a 40% increase in variable costs. Answer : True/False 14. In multiproduct situations when sales mix shifts toward the product with the lowest contribution margin, the breakeven quantity will decrease. Answer : True/False 15. If a companys sales mix is 2 units of product A for every 3 units of product B, and the company sells 1,000 units in total of both products, only 200 units of product A will be sold. Answer : True/False 16. There is no unique breakeven point when there are multiple cost drivers. Answer : True/False 3-2 17. When there are multiple cost drivers the simple CVP formula of Q = (FC + OI)/ CMU can still be used. Answer : True/False 18. Service sector companies will never report gross margin on an income statement. Answer : True/False 19. For merchandising firms, contribution margin will always be a lesser amount than gross margin.... View Full Document

Apparently it was not, as I had suspected, chosen at Burning Man by a 37-year-old stock broker who suddenly started calling himself Shaman Dan. More
WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE NAMING YOUR KIDS AFTER SMALL ANIMALS? More
Kate Winslet gave her new baby an adorable name, but whether it is cute or bizarre depends a lot on which parent's surname he got. More
What is the royal baby, Prince of Cambridge, named? Well, it is not Andrew, Nick, Caleb, Lord Disick or Blanket. For the record. More
None of us are allowed to make fun of Kim Kardashian's baby name ever again, because little North West's name was pre-approved by Anna Wintour herself. More
It is currently a fact that we, the people, know precious little about the inner workings of Kate Middleton and/or her royal fetus. But that paradigm shifted just a little bit yesterday when a well-wisher offered Princess Katherine a stuffed teddy bear and she reportedly said "thank you, I will take that for my d…" Wait, oops, never mind. I command you to un-hear that at once! More
So, someone named their child Hashtag.
Little Hashtag is going to, from an early age, have a deep rooted desire to compartmentalize everything. You know that scene in high school movies where some nerdy kid shows a chart of how the cafeteria arranged in order of popularity? Hastag is going to do that. Unfortunately, since no one has ever done that in real life, people are going to think that Hashtag is a lunatic.
But he's going to make great lists, later.
Here are some likely outcomes for other names, since this will be a trend now. More

Yesterday I moved a batch of a Belgian Quad from primary to secondary. I was hasty in moving it and didn't check the gravity until I had it moved to secondary and had cleaned out the primary bucket. Big mistake because as an after thought I took a sample from the secondary and found it to be 1.038. Here are some specifics: This is an extract recipe with an OG=1.10 with an expected FG=1.02. The yeast used was Wyeast Trappist 3787 which should be a good for high gravity. So given the OG I'm over 8% ABV but there's still way too much sugar left and I'm concerned it will be too sweet or I'll end up with bottle bombs. As mentioned this should get to 1.02 (actually just slightly lower) and an ABV over 10%.
What are my options?
Leave it in secondary and see what happends? I wouldn't think it wouldn't come down much more now.
Move back to primary and repitch?
Lesson learned to not rush things and ALWAYS check the gravity before moving but given where I am now I could you some help and suggestions.
I think you have to repitch. And that 8% ABV is going to be a hinderance. I would suggest making a starter and pitching at the high Kraesen stage. Or, if you have something else fermenting, when that is finished, throw the Belgian on the yeast cake. Good luck!
Primary: Loghouse Honey Porter
Cold Conditioning: nada
Bottle conditioning: February IR, Batch 50 Bock,December Marzen
Drinking: Black Friday Vienna,Winter Solstice Moon,Ben's Doublealt,Jim's Altbier, Gunslinger Cranberry Graf, Waldo Lake Amber,Apricot moon, La Fin de L'Annee, Das Terminator Dopplebock, several others
I agree that I need to repitch. I don't think leaving it in secondary & hoping that it continues to ferment is a viable option.
My main concerns with a successful repitch are:
1) Repitching without the high ABV killing the yeast (which you mentioned)
2) Can I repitch in carboy or should I move back to primary bucket?
3) Repitch with the same 3787, a Safale with yeast starter or other?
You can always bomb it with 3711. That stuff eats anything. I think it would ferment a spoon if you stirred too long.
From the Wyeast website...
What's it taste like?
If you decide to do a starter, I would go with a DME that matches your style beer, and the gravity that it's at right now, let it spin up for a few days, or until (as others suggested) the Krausen stage, and pitch. Good luck. I would hate to see a good Belgian quad not turn out right. I think you'll be fine though.
I went to my LHBS and described the issue and they recommend I use a wine yeast (Lavin K1-V1116) to start up the fermentation. I asked if it would need a starter and they say "Nope, just hydrate and dump into the carboy." They said the characteristics of the wine yeast are neutral so it won't change the flavor and it's used to high gravity so it should kick start the process. So, now I'm not sure if I should use the wine yeast or make a starter from a beer yeast.
I dunno if I would use a wine yeast as that might impart some weird flavors. You might try heating up the brew in secondary. Get it up to about 75F or so and see if that drops it down some more. You could also try re-pitching at high krausen because that would probably get it fermenting again.

AMHERST — With the tasks of finding a new conference for the football program, and maybe all sports, the UMass athletic department is in the midst of a time period that will likely affect it for years and maybe even decades to come.

Citing concerns for Northeastern's travel in an expected snowstorm, UMass associate athletic director Tim Kenney said UMass and Northeastern are exploring the possibility of moving up the start time of Wednesday's game, which is currently set to tip at 7 p.m. The schools were monitoring weather forecasts and other logistical necessities. If the start time is changed, there will be an announcment Tuesday morning. According to Weather.com, heavy snow is expected Wednesday in Amherst.

So I bounced them as well as a handful for other. I think when Florida gets healthy they'll probably be back in top 10 and certainly the top 25, but until then... I ranked

Dicey finds herself in new friends, in a growing relationship with her grandmother, and in the satisfaction of refinishing the old boat she found in the barn. Then, as Dicey experiences the trials and pleasures of making a new life, the past comes back with devastating force, and Dicey learns just how necessary -- and painful -- letting go can be.
Now that the four abandoned Tillerman children are settled in with their grandmother, Dicey finds that their new beginnings require love, trust, humor, and courage.
"The woman put her sad moon-face in at the window of the car. 'You be good,' she said. 'You hear me? You little ones, mind what Dicey tells you. You hear?' "
"Dicey sat in front. She was thirteen and she read the maps."
Thus begins the first page of several thousand that comprise the seven young adult novels that would become known as the Tillerman Cycle. Dicey Tillerman is the girl in the front seat with the map, though at thirteen, with cropped hair and without "bosoms," she is often mistaken for a boy. This mostly works to her advantage, because the woman with the moon-face — her mother, Liza — is never seen again. The plan had been for Liza to drive her family from their beach shack in the sand dunes of Provincetown, Massachusetts, where she can no longer pay the rent, to the house of an allegedly wealthy aunt in Bridgeport, Connecticut, whom the children have never met. Instead, Liza ditches her children in the parking lot of a Connecticut mall. Dicey has eleven dollars and fifty cents, her three small siblings — James, ten; Maybeth, eight; and Sammy, six — and a map.
She decides to walk. Down Route One, across rivers, down the coast, through the Yale campus, the children walk, sleeping in campgrounds and abandoned houses and fishing and clamming and eating stale doughnuts and bruised fruit. When the "wealthy aunt" turns out to be a sour cousin who works in a garment factory and, on the advice of her Catholic priest, decides it best to break up the family, the children take off on foot again, down the coast of Maryland to Crisfield, a tiny coastal town outside Annapolis, to find Liza's mother, whom they have also never met.
This past spring and summer, all seven of the novels in the Tillerman Cycle have been reissued in shiny new hardcover editions, many stamped with the gold and silver award medals that indicate their status as modern classics. Thirty years later, it's striking to realize that the publication dates of these novels — 1981 to 1989 — correspond exactly to the years Ronald Reagan was president. In an era that revered cowboy capitalism and disparaged single mothers, broken homes, and "welfare queens," Cynthia Voigt wrote — and won awards for — novels about poor children, ditched by their unwed mother and saved by two other single women: a thirteen-year-old girl and, eventually, a sixty-something barefoot widow (Ab Tillerman, a.k.a. Gram).
The Tillermans, in many ways, conform to classic American notions of the noble poor: They never borrow money, never take charity (Gram even must be convinced that she has "earned" her Social Security payments), and always work hard at any job — scrubbing windows, delivering newspapers, crabbing — they can find. ("The Tillermans weren't greedy, to be rich or to own things, or to be famous, either," Dicey tells us. "They just wanted to be able to take care of whoever they were supposed to, just to earn a living — because your living wasn't a present, it had to be earned.") They are frugal (they bake their own bread, grow their own vegetables, use dried milk instead of fresh, and commute the ten or so miles to town via bicycle and boat), yet they know what to value (real butter and maple syrup, used sparingly; hand-carved wooden toys over plastic; antique tools; old books).
The Tillermans' fastidious self-reliance is so complete that it verges on the anachronistic — these are people who, in the eighties, consider cars a frivolity — which lends the novels a patina of timelessness and links them to a much older, distinctly American mythology: These children could have made their walk during the Depression, put up preserves with Laura Ingalls Wilder, found themselves in an orphanage with Anne Shirley, or crossed a river with Huck Finn. The songs they sing could come straight from the Alan Lomax American songbook and, for a time, they even take up with the circus. Dicey herself recognizes her affinity with the earliest American immigrants, who came "because they wanted to live and work in a land that civilization hadn't already polished and divided, because they loved wildness and wanted to match themselves up against the wildness and see how they did." You'd probably say that a girl who led three children into the wilds of the Eastern Seaboard and kept them fed and sheltered for two months, using roughly the same methods employed by people centuries before, did pretty well.
This adherence to such narrative archetypes is what gives these stories a surprisingly subversive power. The Tillerman Cycle is an American family epic: the first novel in the series is so clear in its purpose that it is actually called Homecoming. But the richly textured American families described in these novels stand in stark contrast to the rigid definition of "family values" pushed by the dominant politicians of their era. They fight the Catholic Church, in the form of Cousin Eunice and her priest, when those allied forces try to label the children "good" and "bad" and separate them to be adopted. They fight the kids at school, who call them — in an insult that recalls a pre-modern social order — bastards.
Even the name Tillerman, it turns out, comes to the children through matrilineal lines. At first, it seems that the children's father, Francis Verricker — who shows up in a flashback scene with a babe named Honey — just wasn't the marrying kind. But we later realize that the partner who refused marriage was Liza, who didn't like watching what marriage did to her mother and insisted her children carry on her last name. And though Gram points out that she herself was not born a Tillerman — the name belonged to her late husband, John — it is she who gives the children their most distinctive shared feature: their hazel eyes.
Those eyes, with their mixed-up colors, are as good a metaphor as any for a family in which difference, even extreme eccentricity, is frankly celebrated. Dicey's best friend, Mina, describes Dicey as "pretty strong meat," and the same could be said for all Voigt's characters, including Mina herself. Dicey initially describes her grandmother as "a good enemy," which leads her to conclude that "she might make a good friend." Indeed, the two become an astonishingly good parental tag team, skillfully recognizing that James is smart but is terrible at follow-through, or that Maybeth may learn better through pictures and music than books, and resolutely respecting each child's difference. It's pure pleasure to watch them as parents — especially when one steps back and realizes that they are a teenage girl and an aging woman.
From the earliest books in the series, Voigt introduces several black characters, including the man who runs the circus and helps the children, and Mina, one of the best-liked girls in school. Later in the series, Crisfield's racial history becomes much more explicit: The Runner, book number four, takes place in the late sixties and is told from the perspective of the children's uncle, nicknamed Bullet, a high school athlete who died in Vietnam and has explicitly racist attitudes. The next book, Come a Stranger, describes Mina's more subtle experience with racism as the "ex-token black girl" at a ballet camp with rich private school girls, and how she gets back to feeling comfortable being loud and confident taking up space.
The final two novels circle back to the Tillermans. In Sons from Afar, James and Sammy go on a quest for their prodigal father; Seventeen Against the Deale brings all the children to the cusp of adulthood: Dicey, twenty-one and starting her own business as a boat builder; James at Yale; Sammy an athlete; Maybeth singing and baking. Liza Tillerman, as so many mothers in fairy tales, doesn't make it, but her children are satisfyingly intact. They've obviously learned how to survive, but in the final two novels, they do an awful lot of failing, too. Perversely, this seems to underscore their resilience: failure, for a Tillerman, becomes a kind of creative problem solving.
But I'm not so sure about Frankie Verricker. Throughout the series, the children's father shimmers on the edges of the stories, never seen but often described by others: the mother whose daughter he spirited away, the teacher who praised him for his brilliance, the teacher who expelled him for his troublemaking, the women he charmed, the men whose money he stole. By the end of the novels, his children still count him as missing, but if your eyes are sharp enough, you may catch him lurking around the margins toward the end of the series, taking a good long look at what he left behind. In true trickster fashion, he doesn't reveal himself, and none of his children have a full enough description to recognize his character's mug shot. But the reader does. My money says that the prodigal father does return, as an open secret between the author and the diligent reader who has followed his family through seven novels. But he doesn't come for the sons. He knows where to go. He looks for the girl with the map.

Reviewer: Amy Benfer
1. The theme of decoding permeates the novel. As Newton and Ellis investigate the third murder, Newton observes, "All of nature is a cipher, and all of science a secret writing that must be unravelled by men who would understand the mystery of things." And in the prologue, Ellis notes, "Newton looked upon all of creation as a riddle…I think he believed that a man who might decipher an earthly code might similarly fathom the heavenly one." By the end of the novel, how much progress has each man made by way of decoding? Has Ellis decoded Newton? Has Newton gotten any closer to deciphering the "heavenly code"?
2. Upon meeting Ellis, Newton instantly launches into a James Bond-esque sizing-up, deducing that Ellis is talented with both rapier and pistol, plays cards, has had too much red wine the night before, and has recently been intimate with a dark-haired woman with whom he'd drunk juniper ale—a feat that flusters Ellis and provides comic relief in the narrative. Where else in the story do we see Newton being purposefully sly and funny? Do these moments alter your perception of him?
3. What charade do Ellis and Newton pull off in order to extract information from Oates? What knowledge do they gain from him? How does it affect what they do next?
4. After Newton and Ellis chat about Newton's discoveries concerning gravity, Ellis breaks away from the story to note, "In all respects he was a paragon, a human touchstone that might try gold, or good from bad." Does this starry-eyed admiration shift in the course of the novel? Ellis goes on to witness Newton's seeming heartlessness, his facility with lying, even his apparent willingness to trade his niece's virtue for his own career advancement. Do these things change Ellis' opinion of the master?
5. What is the significance of Twistleton's mysterious utterance, "Blood is behind everything. Once you understand that, you understand all that has happened"?
6. Newton introduces Ellis to the use of prisms and the principles of refraction and refrangibility. Why? What is the metaphor here? How does Ellis act as a "prism" in the course of events that follows?
7. Halfway through the novel, Ellis realizes that he has lost his faith. "It was Newton's mathematics that reduced the cosmos to a series of algebraic calculations, while his damned prisms ripped apart God's rainbow covenant with Noah. How could God remain in heavens that were so keenly observed through a telescope and precisely described as a series of fluxions?" Ironically, Newton does not seem tormented by a similar conflict. How does he merge his faith and his science? Is the science/faith conflict pertinent in today's world? Where do you see it played out?
8. How does Newton accomplish his dream of besting Rene Descartes?
9. The dramatic backdrop of this story is the Tower, where coiners and soldiers are perpetually at odds due to the Recoinage Act of 1696, which has forced them to share the space. What does Ellis mean when he says, "The Tower was more than just a prison and a place of safety to mint the coin; it was also a state of mind, an attitude that affected all who came into contact with its walls"?
10. Ellis's condition for working with Newton is that Newton "will always correct my ignorance." Does Newton do a good job of this? By the end, what has Newton taught Ellis, and in what ways has he left Ellis more confused than enlightened?
11. Who are the Templars? How do they figure into the Huguenot plot of revenge against Catholics? What do Newton and Ellis do with the information about the Templars that Mister Pepys gives them?
12. Newton has a close call with the authorities when he is summoned to appear before the Lords Justices to defend himself against allegations that he is a heretic. How does he debunk Count Gaetano's charges? Why is the Count's derisive comment about the Dutch a mistake?
13. What do you make of Newton? Is he a likeable character? Do you trust him? Do you think he really believes his maxim that "true knowledge is the greatest treasure of all"? What do you make of his relationship with his niece?
14. Why does Ellis say that he swore not to tell this story while Newton was alive? Why does he reject the analogy of Newton leaving behind a golden thread "by which we may find our way through God's labyrinth," in favor of the harsher image of a chasm or abyss, "into which Newton, by virtue of his system of the world and falling bodies and mathematics and chronology, lowers us upon a rope…"?

Dicey's Song by Cynthia Voigt is a powerful story. The Tillerman children are inspiring and Dicey, the main character, represents the person we should all strive to be as a brother or sister. The author, Cynthia Voigt tells their story as they struggle to make ends meet and establish themselves in their new home at their grandmother's house, with such talent. Though the end may be a little predictable in leading up to it, once there, it is impossible to keep the tears back. Ultimately, Voigt teaches what it is to keep a family together, working and supporting one another. Dicey's Song is an excellent book and is highly recommended to read.

I read the first book- Homecoming- and loved it so much that i couldn't wait to read the the second book. It immediately absorbed me and it was hard to stop reading. The book takes you on the wild journey of a 13 year old girl who has traveled cross-country with her siblings, and found a home with their grandmother. The book shows you the trials of learning to be dependent after living independent for so long. As she goes through school, and gets a job, she comes to hear some grave news. Her mother has died. She and her grandmother go to cremate Dicey's mother, while Dicey's sister, Maybeth, has a hidden talent for piano that is discovered. She gets a wonderful piano teacher that really helps the family out. The book was very intriguing and it made me want to keep reading, and keep reading. I cant wait to read the next book in the series!

Dicey's Song
Dicey, Maybeth, James, and Sammy Tillerman got abandoned by their mother at the beginning of the summer. They traveled long and far before finally getting to their grandmother's house where they are now. Dicey soon gets a job and makes a friend named Mina. Maybeth is having trouble learning how to read but her music teacher thinks that she would be great at piano and Maybeth turns out to be amazing. Dicey has to give up a big chunk of her salary though to pay for the lessons. Dicey starts having trouble letting their grandmother plan and pay for items. They end up getting a call about their mother from an asylum saying that she will not wake up from her sleep. Dicey must learn to let go and reach out to others.
I give this book three stars because it is not as interesting in the beginning because there was not a big conflict. There are also not a lot of events throughout the whole book. It is not as important to read the first book Homecoming because she explained what happened fairly well. Overall I thought this book was okay because it was written well, I just wish that more events happened.

This is absolutley posotively 5 starts thumbs up. It follows the book Homecoming and to give a breif summary about the first book. Four kids, Dicey,13,James,10,Maybeth,9,and Sammy,6, who got abanoded by their mother in a mall parking lot. Left to fend for themselves the kids have to make it from the top of Conneticut to the bottom of Maryland WALKING!!!!!!!! With only a few dollars they made it to their grandma's house. Getting there she didn't want them only letting them stay for the night. Staying longer and rubbing off on her are allowed to stay.
In this bookk it is about the day to day struglles. A pageturner mind blowing book. This is a must read for a book that can be read fast. The kids have newlives at a new school. Having to let go of everything she had always know and trusted Dicey becomes worried she can't and is dobtful about her grandma being able to do this. The other kids are making new freinds and getting invited to parties. Doingwell for the most part at school, the kids are getting good grades. One day in Dicey's class they had a project to do. Hoping to do it by herself Dicey gets to work. After getting nudged several time Dicey turns around to a warm smile of the other smartest girl in class. Wanting to work together Dicey agrees and they ace the project. The next day after class the girl awaited to walk Dicey to her next class. Dicey cold on the outside kept turning it down. The girl keeps it up and to find out the rest get the book.

Dicey is the best older sister anyone could possibly want. She taught me so much about life--about people more specifically. I was amazed that one so young would realize these things AND use it to improve the quality of their lives. Her determination to do the right thing -- NO MATTER WHAT! hit me right in the heart. Her resourcefulness is astounding. I actually went out and bought the sequel to see how it continued. (That's a first for me!) It made me review my 'parenting skills,' to see how they matched up to hers.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Dicey's song was a really good book. I wanted to keep on reading and reading until i finished it because I wanted to know what would happen next. Anyone could read it. Its about this young girl who has to take care of her siblings and live with her grandmother that everyone says she crazy but not and she hardly knows. She doesn't live with her mother because her mother didnt want to take care of them anymore and the 4 kids had to live on there own for a long time. thats what happened in homecoming and then it added on more about finding and living with there grandmother.

This is a very emotional story that will capture your heart. As a thirteen year old girl Dicey must deal with a lot after her mother leaves her and her siblings. They must adjust to living with their grandmother. Dicey says, ¿I have the feeling that I know who I am, only I¿m not any more.¿ You must read this book to find out if Dicey ever learns to deal with her mother¿s absence and life with her grandmother. This book was a Newbery Medal Book. This book is a realistic novel and would be appropriate for ages 12 and up. This is a situation that could really happen to a child and this would be a great book to help them deal with such circumstances. I really enjoyed reading this book. Cynthia Voigt is the author of Dicey¿s Song. Before Ms. Voigt became an author she was an English teacher. This book is part of a series of books written by Ms. Voigt. She has won many awards for both her children¿s books and her young adult books. Voigt, Cynthia. Dicey¿s Song. New York: Simon and Schuster, 2003.Was this review helpful?

Cynthia Voigt was born in Boston in 1942 and grew up in Connecticut. After she attended college, she swore that she would not become a teacher. On the other hand, she could not help it and did become a teacher. Her dream was to become a writer, but she had to hold off on her dream until she got married and started teaching. When her son was born, she found time to write. She loves to read and watch movies. Her book, Dicey¿s Song, won the Newbery Medal in 1983. A lot of her books are based on real places. Voigt said, ¿Dicey is the child she would have liked to have been and Gram is the person she would like to become. The reading level of this book is fifth grade, eighth month. Some themes of the book include love, family, commitment, integrity, and excellence. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. It is a story of trying to hold but let go at the same time. In the book, it says, 'But I'll tell you something else, too. Something I've learned, the hard way. I guess'¿Gram laughed a little¿'I'm the kind of person who has to learn things the hard way. You've got to hold on. Hold on to people. They can get away from you. It's not always going to be fun, but if you don't¿hold on¿then you lose them.' Gram lost her husband and all of her children left and never came back. She was alone and nobody there to talk to. Momma walked out on the children so Dicey, James, Sammy, and Marybeth end up at Gram¿s house. Dicey has had to watch the younger siblings and she wants to be selfish by re-doing a sailboat she had found in Gram¿s barn. Their problems and sorrows did not go away easily. They had to learn all about one another and Gram ends up adopting them. Dicey begins to grow a strong bond with Gram, who talks about reaching out and letting go it takes a crisis for Dicey to finally understand what Gram meant. Read the book to find out how Dicey reveals this mystery. Dicey¿s Song is an incredible book. It teaches about commitment and the bonds of family. Dicey is a girl I admire because she does everything to try and help her family out and she does not care how she does it. It takes courage from Dicey and support of Gram to keep this family together. It is truly an amazing story. I loved it. Voigt, Cynthia. Dicey¿s Song.

Total Time:
Active Time:
Makes: 8 to 10 servings (1 10-inch tube cake)
This tube cake gingerbread is the creation of my friend Rick Rodgers. Once while he was visiting food writer Bruce Aidells, who is a beer aficionado, they wondered how the intense flavor of stout, the Cabernet Sauvignon of beers, would work as the liquid in a gingerbread. The idea isn't new after all; I found old Irish recipes using porter ale (a weaker form of stout) in gingerbread, as well as in porter cake, a spicy fruitcake that is also soaked with stout after baking. The dark, dense, malty flavor of the stout ends up making a gourmet, yet old-fashioned, gingerbread that balances the inherent sweetness of the sugar and molasses. I like to use one of the special decorative fluted tube pans to make this cake look really special. Serve warm slices with a small dollop of Orange Hard Sauce melting on the side.

Sabal Palm Gallery kicks off Friday with Thursby
Published: Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 5:46 p.m.
Imagine strolling through a quaint downtown. Beyond the consignment shop full of curiosities and around the corner, you see an artist painting a life-sized fiberglass horse in a gallery of color and comfort.
Sabal Palm Gallery and Studio
Gallery reception/Jack Thursby exhibit
When: 5 p.m. Friday
Where: Sabal Palm Gallery, 108 E. Fort King St., Ocala
Cost: Free
Downtown Art Walk
When: 6 to 8 p.m. Friday
Where: Downtown Ocala, east, west and south of the square
Information: 671-7469 or ArtWalkOcala.com
This is downtown Ocala, folks, and the new gallery is another notch in its cultural landscape.
The Sabal Palm Gallery and Studio along East Fort King Street does not fit the mold of a "classic" gallery, said owner/artist Jackie Schindehette. Formerly Voilart!, Schindehette and Sharon Crute opened the space in 2009. Crute, a noted equine artist, is no longer an owner and is pursuing other artistic endeavors.
This left Schindehette with a new palette.
Here, she created Horse Feathers, her fiberglass horse offering for Horse Fever 2011. But, mainly, she fills the gallery space with works by local artists, including herself. Sabal Palm also is a place for hands-on art, on-site creation, classes and discussions with local artists.
Sabal Palm has been open for months. But Schindehette is celebrating its grand opening Friday and christening a September exhibit of new works by well-known Ocala painter Jack Thursby.
"The gallery is beautiful," said Ronnie King, a painter with the Marion Cultural Alliance's Artist Within project. "I love to come in because it releases my creativity and brightens my day."
Two distinguished Ocala artists, Margaret "Peggy" Watts and Linda Harlow, also display their works in this gallery accented with golden walls and an oversized couch. Fine art, they contend, can be accessible and affordable.
"Visitors may watch as we paint, take a painting class, or just hang out and talk art," Schindehette said.
Harlow leads the program Reflections of the Masters, through which replicas of the masters are produced and sold by a local consortium of artists. The program will be featured at Sabal Palm in January.
In the meantime, there's Thursby.
The Ocala artist, renowned for his mastery of controlled realism, will debut his newest works this month. A former professor and chairman of the art department at the College of Central Florida, Thursby has been and continues to be a perennial best of show award winner at art festivals throughout the state.
"He is a phenomenally creative artist and a master craftsman," Watts said. "The 3-D quality of his newest work is amazing. He is generous with his expertise, and anyone who has studied with him is extremely fortunate."
"I watch people a lot," Thursby said about his creative process, "listening and paying attention to little things."
Schindehette is thrilled about hosting Thursby's new works. Her space revels in local art, and landing Thursby as a grand-opening anchor is, quite frankly, a "coup," she said. Friday's reception starts at 5 p.m., and it runs amid September's Downtown Art Walk.

Bringing a well preserved antique fireplace back to perfection!
Inquiries begin with either an e-mail through our website, L'esperance Tile Works, or a phone conversation requesting information and pricing. If the pattern that needs to be reproduced isn't already in our catalogue, then we'll need a really good photograph with a straight on perspective, or most preferably, an actual tile. Cost ranges from $500.00 - $1200.00 to create a reproduction, depending on the depth of caving and intricacy of the pattern.
The reproduction that I'll highlight in this and the following posts, is a tile originally from the JG Low Art Tile Company, border # X23 on page 4. The fireplace in question needed only a few pieces of the border, but the process is the same whether it's a few pieces, or a full fireplace border.
The fireplace is situated in a bedroom in a condo in Portland, Maine.
|All tiles are original from the JGLow Art Tile company, circa 1904.
|Amazing how well preserved this gorgeous fireplace is!
You can see a full tour of the house here
The customer sent us some closeup photos of the tiles, along with a small fragment of one of the originals that had broken. The mission was to recreate the tile and match the glaze.
|This photo is a clear, straight on view of the border tiles.
|Original tile fragment
To match the glaze as closely as possible an original tile is needed. Images sent via e-mail or from the web aren't true enough due to the variations in monitors and camera settings.
|Glaze library with some blues
After I receive the original tile I go to my glaze library which has accumulated tests over the last 35 years! I can usually find a very close match from there, however, that is just the starting point. I'll mix 2-3 small batches of the glaze formulas and test them on some decorative and field tiles - usually seconds that are warped or cracked. After confirming that the recipe is still in the range, I'll then mix a batch large enough to glaze the entire order. That batch also gets tested, and altered if need be.
|Two of the closest glazes mixed
I'll then send my closest matches to the customer for approval. In this case I had 2 that were very close, but sometimes the tone of the glaze will change when set next to the originals on site. Since the glaze match usually happens while the carving is in process, I'll use another border to show how the glaze will sit on the details. My glaze flows away from the high points and settles darker in the recessed areas - very similar to the glazes I'm attempting to match.
We got and overwhelming approval of glaze "B" - the one on the bottom.
I'll show the carving process in the next post, so stay tuned!
Thanks so much and please contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions about the process, or if you have a tile you would like reproduced.

Review: Delicious crab. I trust the quality of the crab meat provided by Vital Choice. Karen is the best customer service representative ever!
"great product"
Elizabeth Rodriguez on 1/11/2015 4:03:44 AM
Review: This is so much better than your normal canned crab. It has large, meaty chucks of crab.
I use it in so many recipes but my favorite is just to toss it into some hot pasta.
"Dungeness Crab"
Renee Henry on 11/13/2014 4:03:45 AM
Review: This Dungeness crab tastes awesome and super convenient to have. It is great right out of the can but easy to use as a side with a salad or add a can to my fish soup. Good stuff!!
Trish DeThomas on 9/23/2014 11:46:13 AM
Review: I just tried the crab today for the first time. I was afraid to try it simply because I had gotten some at the grocery store that was so awful I had to throw it in the garbage. Thus, I was afraid to try crab again. I just have to say this stuff is amazing! There were large chunks of crab meat in the can and the taste was wonderful. I only ordered one can but I can tell you I will be back for more!
"The best canned Dungeness but pricey"
Ian Gillson on 5/16/2014 4:23:46 PM
Review: This is my favorite canned Dungeness Crab and I have tried most. The crab is very sweet and tender. It's just a shame it is so expensive!
"Nice surprise"
Nicole Pratt on 4/23/2014 11:08:25 AM
Review: This is my first time buying and eating this product. It's not something I enjoyed by itself and out of the can. However, I did mix it with the Thai Coconut soup from Vital Choice and boy it was delicious together! Some products are best mixed with others to get their full flavor.

The motif of post-draft quarterback analysis this offseason has been, How will the rookie signal-callers learn their first NFL system if there are no offseason team activities?
Of all the rookie quarterbacks, Cam Newton's mental development will be followed the closest. The No. 1 overall pick and highest-profile NCAA player in 2010 has drawn scrutiny for his unproven football IQ (remember Newton telling Jon Gruden before the draft about Auburn's playbook being number-coded?).
In continuing that scrutiny, we pass along the report from Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer that Newton is learning his playbook at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL with the help of former NFL quarterbacks Chris Weinke and Ken Dorsey.
Weinke, you recall, played for the Panthers. Dorsey may not be as snazzy a mentor as Brett Favre, but his contributions are noteworthy because he played for current Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski at the University of Miami (and briefly in Cleveland, as well). Thus, Dorsey knows most of Carolina's new offensive system.
"It's a lot of material that I do not know, but each day I'm going in and learning something," Newton told the Associated Press. "So by the time . . . the lockout is lifted and I get a chance to talk to Chudzinski and (QB coach Mike) Shula and meet back up with the team, I'll be on top of my game."
Newton recently told reporters that he's putting in 12-hour days at the IMG Academy.

In reply to people defending using Weinke and Dorsey to help Newton: If you're going to use old quarterbacks to coach up a young talent, would you rather use Steve Young or Ryan Leaf? I would rather use a former mediocre quarterback coach before a former mediocre quarterback (if coaching is the desired endgame) If Weinke and Dorsey are both successful quarterback coaches now, I say good move. If not, are they the people you'd want coaching your franchise quarterback?

Wow, never really understand why everyone gets so pissed off about someone else's opinion. Philly, Shaft never said anything regarding racism, so your rant did kinda come outta the blue. Shaft, your post about having to meet a guy to not like him was a little ridiculous. Philly, using Hitler as a way to prove your point (while pretty funny to me) was a bit of a drastic reach (although equally funny alternatives would have been Bin Laden, Satan or Regis Philbin). Let's play nice now and hate each other's teams like normal fans

How exactly are Weinke and Dorsey going to help Newton? Both were well below average NFL QB's. Oh wait...
This argument is starting to get old. Name the great NFL quarterbacks who went on to become a good coach. On-field talent rarely translates to teaching ability.

What..is Scam Newton the football version of Tiger Woods. He farts they report it. Look at who he is working out with Ken Dorsey and Chris Weinke. Exactly who were they anyway. Were they big names...not quite. Neither were big names but yet the writer told us they were....STARS. Get real. Newton will be one of the biggest busts in NFL history in a few years.
I won't go that far at all. I don't think he'll end up as one of the all-time great quarterbacks, but I don't think he'll end up as one of the biggest busts ever, either.
Make no mistake about it, I think that MNC was bought for Auburn, I think Newton should have been declared ineligible, and I think that Auburn's 2010 wins will be vacated in a few years. The idea that he knew nothing about what his father was doing is ludicrous. So understand I am NOT a Newton apologist at all.
However, look at the "biggest busts in NFL history". Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Vince Yount, Todd Marinovich, Brian Bosworth, and Dewayne Robertson all had questionable work ethics at best. It sounds to me like Newton has already made more effort than all of those combined.
As long as he stays out of legal trouble, he shouldn't follow in the footsteps of the other great NFL busts Cedric Benson, Pacman Jones, and Lawrence Phillips. I think there's some justifiable concern here, considering Newton's record at Florida. However, there hasn't been any hint of legal trouble for him since then. Yes, he probably took money to play at Auburn, but if they fired every player from the NFL that did that, you would barely have enough players left to field one team, much less an entire league.
If he continues to work hard, then Newton will end up being successful in the NFL. He has too much athletic ability not to be successful, IF he continues the hard work. Every indication so far is that he IS willing to work hard, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt there. Wost-case scenario (except injury), is that he doesn't improve enough at quarterback, and is moved to another position. If the work ethic remains, a team WILL find a spot for him.

Newton seems to be applying himself and taking steps to learn the NFL QB position so I give the guy credit for trying ! Now all the crap surrounding his dad and what Cam knew or didn't know is obsolete ! The money was offered and it shouldn't have been so the colleges involved are just as guilty as Cam's dad ! If my son were a hotshot prospect and someone wanted to pay me $100,000 grand, I'd take that money !

"Or maybe my step brother was the camera guy who watched the look of horror on Jon Gruden's face when Jon realized Cam knew very little about actually playing quarterback. "
I remember one NFL off coordinator saying former UK and Browns QB Tim Couch couldn't distinguish between man coverage and zone coverage ! Does that make Couch dumb ? Some of these guys have played in a system in college that "dumbed" the QB position down for them in order to capitalize on their "talent" either running or throwing ! The colleges don't do them any favors by doing this but it happens more often than we think !

Pretty obvious to me that you can't understand what you read. Where in my reply did I say anything about race or call you a racist. I think you're reading between the wrong lines. Randall Cunningham was drafted 26 years ago, so you can't count either. Why do you dislike this young man when you don't know him? Is it because he didn't get drafted by the team you like? If you met or knew him, maybe you would like him like you like the rest of your black buddies *sigh*.
You condemn this cat before he has even played a down. Give the guy a chance to screw up first. What his dad did has nothing to with him playing QB in the NFL. If I remember correctly, he threw and ran for quite a few touchdowns, not to mention being on a national championship team. Seems to me he has some skills to do all that. The guy is working out on his own trying to get better, probably to shut people like you up. Are you going to bitch at or about him when he becomes ALL PRO? Super Bowl winner? Record holder? Does your hatred run that deep?
NOW GO BACK AND READ MY POST. It's not that difficult to understand. If you still have trouble understanding it, get a little kid to read it for you. I'm sure it said nothing about race.

FootJoy Mens WinterSof Golf Gloves 7 7
Size runs large I normally use a XXL golf glove, so I ordered a XXL in this glove. The glove seems large, but it still keeps my hands warm on cold mornings January 20, 2015
Pretty Good for Cold but a bit Thick They worked well in 40 degree weather. The more I played, the more they warmed-up. They fit comfortably. The only problem I had was the thickness of the material. I definitely lost some feel on all shots, especially putting and chipping. I don't know if all thermal golf gloves are comprised of thick material. January 12, 2015
Better options available Better suited for driving the car. Gloves are kind of thick to effectively handle a club, and in my case, ill fitting. No velcro to snug them up. The thickness may make them warmer, but if you cant handle a club with any feel at all, then there is no point December 20, 2014
bad stitching I have worn the gloves 1 time and they have a tear in the palm at the little finger. December 13, 2014

You would need to include a ban on paving the garden over in the deeds for the new property. On my road I have seen 3 more front gardens paved over this year. About 20% of front gardens on this row of semis are now paved or concreted which can lead to flooding problems further down stream. They also look very boring.
It appears to do better in the south but I do remember my mum having one in our garden[ in Manchester ]back in the seventies and eighties that produced good crop of berries. It was in full sun , south facing in well drained soil. It wasn't vigorous and only grew to about 4ft high in fifteen tears but was quite spreading.
there are some varieties of common holly that bear male and female flowers, J.C. Van Tol is an example, so it is guaranteed to bear fruit.
You need to ensure good drainage whether in a pot or open grown. Blueberries are very tolerant of low temperatures but not winter water logging, I lost one of my pot grown blueberries because of this.
Thanks for your replies. I would be concerned that Cambridge Gage might not ripen its fruit up here in the North west of England, especially as I cannot plant it on my south wall as that is successfully occupied by a Fig tree. Very tempted by a Mulberry as I think they are luscious, but I will give Victoria a go after all as I have seen it growing successfully up here as an open grown tree.
When I joined the forum in spring this year I was considering planting a Victoria plum tree in the autumn. It seemed to tick the right boxes , hardy in the North West, tolerant of clay soil, self fertile and a good cropper. However there have been a lot of threads on the forum about the numerous problems that gardeners with this variety of plum have faced; though I don't think I will be affected by voracious pheasants, which are making me have second thoughts.
There could be two answers:
1) Victoria plum is planted so much more than other plums that it is bound to feature in the threads by sheer volume of numbers.
2) The variety has intrinsic problems and I would be better planting a different variety, perhaps lacking some of Victoria's advantages but a having a healthier constitution.
What are gardeners views on Victoria plum, should I try a different plum, or even a a completely different fruit tree such as a mulberry?
There is a small variety of Silver birch called Young's Weeping Birch. There are three planted together in a Cemetery near me. They are about 15ft high and have not increased in height since the early 1980's.
Varieties of Whitebeam, {Sorbus aria} grow well on chalk, and will probably make a small tree in the poor chalky soil. I think Crataegus and Malus [crab apples] are also quite chalk tolerant.
Have you considered Holly? Will certainly reach 8ft, is evergreen, completely hardy and an effective barrier.
