Everyday lives in conflict-ridden Aleppo
17 May 2014 10:54 GMT | War & Conflict, Africa, Cameroon, Boko Haram
A Chinese camp in northern Cameroon has been attacked by gunmen, a local governor has said, close to a border stronghold of the Nigerian armed group, Boko Haram.
The attack took place on Friday near the town of Waza, 20km from the Nigerian border and the Sambisa forest, which is close to the area where Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 women and girls from a school in Chibok last month.
The governor of Far North province, Augustine Fonka Awa, confirmed the attack on Saturday to Reuters news agency but declined to give details.
The Chinese state news agency, Xinhua, quoted Chinese officials as saying unidentified gunmen injured one person, and 10 others were unaccounted for.
Boko Haram has staged several attacks in northern Cameroon.
Last month, the group attacked a police post, killing two people. The rebels kidnapped a French family in February 2013.
West African leaders meet in Paris on Saturday to try to improve cooperation in their fight against Boko Haram.
Outrage over the kidnapping has prompted Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, criticised at home for his government's slow response, to accept US, British and French intelligence help in the hunt for the girls.
More than a month after the girls were abducted President Jonathan has still not visited Chibok.
Speaking from Paris, Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow said parents of the girls were expecting a visit from him on Friday which was canceled, leading to more criticism.
"He is expected to seek re-election this year, but many people do not want it, especially the Muslim population of northern Nigeria who have felt marginalised during his term as president."

USPTO To Review Controversial VoIP Patent 35
from the can-you-hear-me-now dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
TCP/IP and its relatives might have been patentable back when Kahn, Cerf and others developed them. But thanks to ARPA, they are in the public domain. Since the general case is addressed, moving generic digital data, is in the public domain, then why are specific subsets of this technology patentable?
As I understand it, this line of reasoning could be used to argue that, since the alphabet is public domain, all other uses of that alphabet should also be public domain. If that's what you mean, then I disagree.
Am I misunderstanding your argument?
More along the lines that if we already have a patent free technology to move data over a network and another to turn voice into data, then combining the two is far from non-obvious. Arguably, combining the two is exactly what they were intended for from the beginning. It's especially true for VoIP where in the '70s voice packets were being carried by frame relay.
Sort-of car analogy. Mail is delivered using gasoline powered vehicles. Doing exactly the same thing using a propane powered vehicle is certainly not patent worthy. If vehicles in general are being converted to propane, even less so.
So, the typewriter was an invention. Using the typewriter for personal (rather than business) correspondence was not.
With your bare hands?!?

After killing the owner of a B-rated strip club, Burt, an indulgent vampire with a zest for life hides out (and dopes up) at an upscale drug den, until the strippers seeking revenge…and the zombies that come out of no where…all face off for a final showdown.
The combination of horror and comedy has existed since the golden era of Hollywood, yet is still regarded by some as a bastardization and affront to our industry. Perhaps the haters don't get the joke. Since both genres elicit strong emotional (often vocalized) reactions, offering a double dose seems only logical, right? That's the rub friends, and why many discredit the misunderstood horror/comedy: These movies are rarely scary.
Throw "musical" into the blender, and all hope for a fright is abandoned. With the exception of a few jump jolts in "Cannibal! The Musical" or Paris Hilton's presence in "Repo! The Genetic Opera," the few titles capable of boasting this classification are devoid of chills. The key with these films is to forget the "horror" part and try to enjoy it for what it is, as yours truly must set aside hatred for musical theater to do the same.
Is all this mental preparation worth the experience? Yes and no. There is no denying the abundant energy behind "The Bloody Indulgent," and it's often every bit as fun as the cast and crew have creating it. It's also a disjointed mess, the many musical numbers varying wildly in quality from catchy to ear rape. Writer/director Ken Roht, whose only previous credit is the documentary "Angel's Ladies," won't be accused of playing it close to the vest, but his unhinged approach to the material often blurs into chaos. The cinema sins are plentiful here, but there's quite a lot to admire as well.
The plumiest feather in the film's cap is casting Kevin Scott Richardson in the lead role of horny vampire Burt. If you're in possession of a penis, you may be wondering who this Kevin guy is.  Richardson happens to be one of the original (and current, they still tour) members of The Backstreet Boys, the 90's pop sensation that made guys cringe and girls judge their boyfriends by unfair standards.
He's a gas as Burt, who resides in a parallel reality where vampires are acknowledged (if not fully accepted) by society. Of course, that could just be Burt, as he is not a benevolent bloodsucker. In fact, he's an uproariously obnoxious jerk. Minutes after chasing down and turning his friend Todd (Brandon Heitkamp) for the hell of it, he attacks a bouncer at seedy strip club The Bootleg for attempting to kick him out. Todd's dancer girlfriend Connie (Diva Zappa, Frank's youngest) stops in mid-act upon noticing the bites on her man's neck, and calls for the patrons to put an end to Burt's douchey shenanigans. This leads to a killing spree, as our anti-hero slaughters everyone in the joint, including Connie and club owner Sid, portrayed by Brian Gaskill of nearly every soap opera produced since 1990.
There are so many disparate elements and side characters popping in and out of "Indulgent," it would be impossible to describe everything that occurs in under 5,000 words without resorting to bullet points. Given that bullet points are for artless nerds, I'll avoid them and keep to the basics. After the multiple murders and approximately ten songs later, Burt and Todd decide to lie low at a drug den/studio owned by Clare (Sharon Ferguson, "Quarantine"). Clare's creative pursuit is abducting strangers, drugging and dressing them for a photo spread, then shooting them when she's finished. Even she is a little chagrined by Burt's arrival, barking at him to behave himself while he's there.
Scenes of Burt not behaving himself are interspersed with two different revenge plots against him. The strippers plan a contest to raise funds for a vampire hunter (Kenneth Hughes), whilst Connie is resurrected courtesy of two friendly zombies. She also has comeuppance on the mind, and her new pals teach her the ways of the undead in the film's funniest sequence, giving her pointers as she attempts to tear a woman's skull off. "Get up under her brow and pull back, it's easy!" This trio steals the show, hands down.
Every musical styling that occurred to Roht and composer Paul Goldowitz is accounted for, including a few I'm not entirely certain are of this earth. That wasn't a compliment. From lousy stadium rock to a clever ballad about public bathroom sex, the best to be said for the soundtrack as a whole is that if a song doesn't appeal, it'll soon be over and another will be bringing up the rear. A few baffling moments have characters singing their lines minus any accompaniment at all. The only semblances of cohesion throughout are the few stretches when no one is warbling, which are short-lived at best.
Another major flaw (before shifting back to the accolades) not to be ignored is that "Indulgent" isn't as boundary-pushing as it seems to think it is. Bisexual vampires haven't been cutting edge in twenty years, and rampant drug use was already beaten to death by PG-13 80's romps. Despite a quick flash or two of breasts, there is no gratuitous nudity on display at all.  Plenty of blood is spilled, but the gore and viscera (you know, the good stuff) one would expect from such an endeavor are also absent. Content wise, this plays like Troma Lite.
Scoring a charitable C- in the musical department and failing miserably as horror, "Indulgent" redeems itself through humor. From the running gag that everyone despises Burt to a zombie dance brilliantly spoofing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, the laughs come just as furiously as the tunes. Not only is the King of Pop ribbed, one number is a direct nod to "Bye Bye Birdie," as the girls make phone calls to organize their Strip-Off competition.
I get it. There are those who refuse to watch musicals, and I don't blame them.  Others can't stomach sitting through a horror/comedy, and I do blame them because they're wrong. For mindless chuckles that will breeze by in 80 minutes and be instantly forgotten, "Bloody Indulgent" is the inspired train wreck for you.
Just do yourself a solid. Fast-forward when the rocker chick takes the stage.

- To save a customized set of views as a new perspective, on the Window menu, click Save Perspective As.
Examine your target system's attributes
The System Summary view shows a listing of your target's system attributes, including your target's processors, memory, active servers, and processes:
In addition to the System Summary view, the other views include the following:
- System Specifications pane
- The System Specifications pane shows your target's host name, board type, OS version, boot date, and CPU information. If your target is a multicore system, the pane lists CPU information for each core or processor.
- System Memory pane
- The System Memory pane shows your target's total memory and free memory in numerical and graphical form.
- Processes panes
- The Processes panes show the process name, code and data size, data usage delta, total CPU usage since starting, CPU usage delta, and start date and time for the processes running on your selected target. The panes let you see application processes, server processes, or both. Server processes have a session ID of 1, and application processes have a session ID greater than 1.
Click in the view's toolbar to highlight changes to the information since the last update.
You can change the highlight color in the Colors and Fonts preferences (on the Window menu, click ).
Manage processes on the device
The Process Information view shows information about the processes that you select in the Target Navigator view. The view shows the name of the process, its arguments, environment variables, and so on. The view also shows the threads in the process and the state of each thread:
The Process Information view includes the following panes:
Click in the view's toolbar to highlight changes to the each pane since the last update.
You can change the highlight color in the Colors and Fonts preferences (on the Window menu, click ).
Thread Details pane
The Thread Details pane shows information about your selected process's threads, including the thread's ID, priority, scheduling policy, state, and stack usage.
The Thread Details pane shows a substantial amount of information about your threads, but some of the column entries aren't shown by default.
To configure the information that is shown in the Thread Details pane:
- In the Process Information view, click .
- Click Configure. The
Configure dialog box appears:
- Do one of the following:
- To add entries to the pane, select items from the Available Items list and clicking Add.
- To remove entries from the pane, select items in the New Items list and clicking Remove.
- To adjust the order of the entries, select items in the New Items list and clicking Shift Up or Shift Down.
- Click OK. The pane shows the entries that you specified in the New Items list.
If you right-click a thread in the Thread Details pane, the menu includes items that let you specify the thread's priority and scheduling algorithm, name, CPU affinity, and inherited CPU affinity:
You can set the priority and scheduling algorithm:
For more information about the available priorities and scheduling algorithms, see Thread scheduling.
You can give the thread a name:
You can also set the runmask that the thread's children will inherit and its own runmask:
For more information, see Multicore Processing
If you right-click a process in the Target Navigator view or the Thread Details pane, you get similar options, except for setting the thread name. The Thread Details pane allows you to modify thread and process information for individual threads.
Environment Variables pane
The Environment Variables pane provides the values of the environment variables that are set for your selected process.
Process Properties pane
The Process Properties pane shows the process's start-up arguments and the values of the process's IDs: real user, effective user, real group, and effective group.
The process arguments are the arguments that were used to start your selected process as they were passed to your process, but not necessarily as you typed them. For example, if you type ws *.c, the pane might show ws cursor.c io.c my.c phditto.c swaprelay.c, because the shell expands the *.c before launching the process.
The process ID values determine which permissions are used for your process. For example, if you start a process as root, but you use the seteuid() and setegid() functions to run the process as the user jsmith, the process runs with jsmith's permissions. By default, all processes that are launched from the Momentics IDE for BlackBerry run as root.
Examine process signals
The Signal Information view shows the signals for the processes that are selected in the Target Navigator view.
The view shows signals that are:
- Blocked (applies to individual threads)
- Ignored (applies to the entire process)
- Pending
The Target Navigator view lets you send signals to any process on your target. For example, you can terminate a process by sending it a SIGTERM signal.
To send a signal to a process:
- In the Target Navigator view, right-click a process and click Deliver Signal.
- Select a signal from the drop-down list.
- Click OK. The Momentics IDE delivers the signal to your selected process.
Delivering a signal to a process usually causes that process to terminate.
Get channel information
The System Blocking Graph view presents a color-coded representation of all of the active channels in the target and illustrates the interaction of threads with those channels.
Interactions with resource objects are such that a thread can be blocked waiting for access to the resource or waiting for servicing (that is, the thread is SEND-blocked on a channel).
The thread could also be blocked waiting for a resource to be released back to the thread or waiting for servicing to terminate (that is, the thread is REPLY-blocked).
Client apps in such conditions are shown on the left side of the graph, and the resource under examination is in the middle. Threads that are waiting to service a request or are active owners of a resource, or are actively servicing a request, are shown on the right side of the graph:
|Legend item
|Thread state
|Servicing request
|Not RECEIVE-blocked (for example, RUNNING, blocked on a mutex, and so on)
|Waiting for request
|Waiting for reply
|Waiting for service
Track file descriptors
The Connection Information view shows the file descriptors, server, and connection flags related to your selected process's connections. This view also shows (where applicable) the path name of the resource that the process accesses through the connection:
The information in this view comes from the individual resource manager servers that are providing the connection. Certain resource managers may not be able to return all of the requested information, so some fields are left blank.
The IOFlags column describes the read (r) and write (w) status of the file. A double dash (--) indicates no read or write permission, and a blank indicates that the information isn't available.
The Seek Offset column indicates the connector's offset from the start of the file.
Note that for some file descriptors (FDs), an s appears beside the number. This means that the FD in question was created using a side channel. The connection ID is returned from a different space than file descriptors, so the ID is actually greater than any valid file descriptor. For more information on side channels, see the ConnectAttach() function.
To see the full side channel number:
- In the Connection Information view, click .
- Click Full Side Channels.
Track resource usage
The System Resources view shows various pieces of information about your target's processes.
To select which display you want to see, click in the System Resources view.
Click in the view's toolbar to highlight changes to the display since the last update.
You can change the highlight color in the Colors and Fonts preferences (on the Window menu, click ).
System Uptime display
The System Uptime display provides information about the start time, CPU usage time, and usage as a percent of the total uptime for each process that is running on your selected target.
General Resources display
The General Resources display provides information about CPU usage, heap size, and the number of open file descriptors for each process that is running on your selected target.
Memory Resources display
The Memory Resources display provides information about the heap, program, library, and stack usage for each process that is running on your selected target.

The 1967 Daytona 500, the 9th running of the event, was run on February 26, 1967.
Mario Andretti, better known for his accomplishments in open-wheel and USAC competition won his first and only NASCAR Grand National event. He ran in a Holman-Moody Ford sponsored by the Bunnell Motor Company. This would be the only time that a person born outside the United States has ever won the Daytona 500. Andretti would consider Nazareth, Pennsylvania to be his "adopted" home town during his NASCAR career as to avoid the scrutiny that foreigners faced in NASCAR before the "modern" era[citation needed].
More than 94,000 people would witness a 204-minute race where six cautions would be recorded for a length of 54 laps. There would be 36 different changes in the first-place position of this race. Pole speeds were swift; reaching up to 180.381 miles per hour or 290.295 kilometres per hour. Tiny Lund ran out of gas while trying to win the race; signifying that he was an aggressive driver at this event[citation needed]. Six drivers failed to make the grid; including Don Biederman and Earl Brooks.[2]
The race car drivers still had to commute to the races using the same stock cars that competed in a typical weekend's race through a policy of homologation (and under their own power). This policy was in effect until roughly 1975. By 1980, NASCAR had completely stopped tracking the year model of all the vehicles and most teams did not take stock cars to the track under their own power anymore.

London HotelsEngland's bustling capital has it all. From iconic landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, to its world-class museums, gilded theaters, and cultural attractions that lure visitors from all over the world. Lux label boutiques pamper to the most fashionable of fashionistas, whilst the city's culinary credentials are enough to leave any foodie in awe. After hours, London pulls no punches either. From good ol' English boozers and cool-as-ice music venues, to some of the world's most exclusive clubs – like everything in London, all tastes are covered.Things to seeBrimming with camera-wielding tourists, Trafalgar Square is one of London's most visited sites. Its centerpiece is the 170 foot tall Nelson's Column, guarded by 4 imposing lion statues, and flanked by 2 spraying fountains. On the square's north side is the stately National Gallery, which features more than 2,300 paintings from the 13th century onwards. At a mile and a half long, Oxford Street is the city's main commercial artery. Crawling with pedestrians and packed with hundreds of major stores, even the hardiest of shopaholics will find their fix. If that leaves you needing some respite, then take some time out in Hyde Park. Spanning 625 acres, the green and leafy oasis is perfect for enjoying a picnic, before feeding the ducks on the Serpentine Lake. Lastly, no visit to London would be complete without gawping at the neoclassical splendor of Buckingham Palace, from behind its fancy gilded gates.Hotels in LondonIf money is no object, you'll have your pick of some of the world's ritziest hotels - whether you prefer afternoon tea beneath a twinkling chandelier, or state-of-the-art amenities in a strikingly modern high rise tower. You can expect all the 5-star trappings, from pampering service and plush suites, to Michelin starred restaurants and swanky bars on-site. The more modest hotels in London have a lot to offer too, with central locations, well-equipped amenities, and plenty of in-room creature comforts. For those looking for a thriftier stay, there's plenty of B&Bs and cheap hotels in London, though they may keep you a little out of the loop location-wise.Where to staySightseeing is an inevitable priority for most visitors, so basing yourself as centrally as possible should be too. Those with sizable budgets can live it up in the West End, where you'll be right in amongst the glitz and glam of London's theater and nightlife scenes. The covered market of Covent Garden is there too, whilst Oxford Street is just a short jaunt away. Bayswater is an attractive leafy district bordering Hyde Park. Home to plenty of budget-friendly digs, it conveniently puts you around 20 minutes away from most major sites via the Underground. Set beside the West End, Victoria is similarly ideal for sightseers, with mid-range accommodation, and close to Buckingham Palace.How to get to LondonLondon is served by no less than 6 airports. As the UK's biggest and busiest airport however, London Heathrow Airport is the preferable gateway for most. As well as direct flights to destinations all over the world, it offers superb rail links into London itself, allowing travelers to hit the city center within an hour of landing. Gatwick Airport is similarly well-connected, with good links into the city, whilst London City Airport serves fewer destinations but allows you to land around 7 miles east of the city's core. European visitors can also opt to arrive by train at St Pancras station, conveniently situated in central London.

I just came out and noticed that the Trinidad perfume pepper leaves are getting splotches of dark tints. Is this natural coloration of the leaves? Sunburn? I haven't used any ferts and I just watered this morning. I don't water unless the soil underneath is dry. Maybe a bug problem?

Texas unemployment fell to 4.3 percent during February for the sixth straight month of declines, the Texas Workforce Commission reported Friday.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) – Authorities are restricting access to the beaches of Padre Island as oil seeps ashore more than a week after nearly 170,000 gallons of tar-like oil spilled in the Houston Ship Channel.
Padre Island National Seashore education coordinator Buzz Botts said Tuesday that beaches remain open but pedestrians are discouraged from using them so that crews can continue cleanup efforts. Vehicles are prohibited.
Botts said that as of Tuesday morning about 3 percent of the sand on the northern part of Padre Island was contaminated and hundreds of seabirds could be seen covered with at least small amounts of oil.
A ship punctured an oil barge March 22 near Texas City. The oil stream extended into the Gulf of Mexico and then southward along the Texas coast.

Making work a garden, not a nightmare
Earth and Spirit
Not long ago, as I recalled bygone Labor Days, I dreamed this nightmare. Due to an acute shortage of folks to do service jobs because of rising anti-immigrant fervor, a new technology was sweeping the country. If the recently deceased were hooked up to car battery jumper cables, you could get another few weeks out of them; you just had to jolt them every eight hours.

I filled out an application for the Manager in training position for this company after seeing it listed on snagajob.com. The day after I applied I got a call to come in for an interview for the MIT. When I get there the interviewer tells me that she was sorry that it was not for the MIT position and was just for a regular associate. I said okay you didnt have to lie though. She said she had to tell me that cause she knew it would get me in there because she had to get someone hired by the end of the week or she'd get in trouble. I told her that we just need to stop because I was not interested in $8/hr for less than 15 hrs/wk. She keeps going and tells me about their policies-and after everything she said it was "do it or your going to get in trouble." I stopped her again and told her that I was not interested and seemed to be too much 'trouble' for me, she still had the nerve to tell me she'd let me know at the end of the week if I got the job or not-I told her not to bother because I was not interested. She said talk to you later! What a rip off- do not lie to a potential employee to get an interview.

I was walking through Wal-Mart and noticed PictureMe Portrait Studio was hiring. The woman on-duty told me they were hiring for a part-time 18-20 hours per week position.
Then the company requires you apply online. You fill out an application, upload your resume, and take a math test. The regional manager called me two days later and scheduled an interview with me.
The interview was conducted by two people: the regional manager and the studio manager. The interviewers were very friendly, engaging, hard-working women. I could also tell they were very interested in the bottom line. They had me "sell them" my cell phone on the spot. They had me get up and pretend to photograph a teddy bear (in place of a real baby). They explained to me the job is mostly sales: Walking around Walmart selling photo shoots to customers, calling people at home to book shoots, then selling big packages of photos to customers.
In the fall, they are only hiring seasonal employees. Then they will keep only a few of those employees after the holidays, when photo season is over.
I was offered the job, but decided not to take it. That's because the job only pays about $9 an hour about 20 hours a week, with no benefits. I figured I could find a better opportunity elsewhere in sales or photography.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- Take out your cell phone right now, and "sell it" to us. Answer Question
- Would you be willing to sell by approaching people shopping at Wal-Mart and by calling them at home? Answer Question
The pay was too low. No benefits. Only part-time work (about 20 hours weekly) is available to employees who aren't managers. The job is mostly a sales job, and I'd like to make more money if I'm going to be working in sales.Declined OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

Studio manager asked basic questions like can you read, do you know how to talk to people. No questions were asked about photography and when I asked about it the answer was, don't worry, well train you.
I was then sent to the district manager and asked questions about my personality. I was asked if I had ever been in management before and if I'd like to be a manager. I was assured it was the only way to get hours and would be trained if they felt I was worthy of the position after a few months.

One of the current terms for describing the contemporary world is "the Age of the Anthropocene," meaning the" age of man" as a new geological age based on an unprecedented human ability to alter the planet. It is a useful and striking term, but I have always felt its shortcoming is that it reduces human history to a phase of natural history. Human domination of the globe is also a phase of human history and needs to be examined and understood in this dimension too. This point was made in a terrific review of The Triumph of Human Empire that appeared yesterday in Times Higher Education.

I think the issue with the assertion is that it only applies to certain types of work. It's amazingly handy for somebody working on photo manipulation or graphic design to have one monitor showing the whole image and perhaps the toolbars and the other showing just the region that is being worked on.
Likewise it can be really helpful for a receptionist to have an email program going on one monitor and a word processing program going in the other.
With the advent of large monitors, a better solution for the latter would probably be to have a decent utility to split up the main screen, but I've yet to see one that really did a very good job of splitting one monitor into multiple logical monitors. X seems to do the best job, but there's complications there and that doesn't apply to Windows anyways.
You seem to have been fooled by the fictional "heat lamps" mentioned in police bust reports. This is a blatant lie aimed at tricking people into ineffective grows. Cannabis grows fine at room temperature and overheating is a much bigger problem than cold for indoor grows. The less heat, but more light, the better.
The real lights used are high pressure sodium, with a low color temperature for best vegetative growth, and metal halide, with a higher color temperature for best flowering. If somebody is using only one type of light it will be the low color temperature high pressure sodium. Fluorescent lighting is also usable for small scale grows but is less efficient.

He fought an entire gang of Jokerz without any training at all. Now eventually, they would have gotten him if he hadn't run into Bruce and gotten help, but the fact that he was good enough not to get killed instantly says that he has a kind of fighter's instinct already that he didn't need the formal training from Bruce to get (unlike, I'm guessing, Dick).

The Deer seem to prefer Natives?
I've heard that Deer prefer to graze on native plants. There are deer in this area, but fortunately the population doesn't seem too large. They pass through the yard fairly regularly, because I see their tracks, but there is relatively little nibbling on my garden plants, and I am growing a lot of natives. They did munch down most of the Tulips this Spring (a non-native, of course).
Yesterday evening, I was gardening in the back yard, looked over and saw a Doe creeping along the property line with the next-door neighbor. She was munching on something quite intently. I was curious what she was eating over there?
The area where the Doe was grazing is kind of a free-for-all for invasive plants - but the Doe was eating a native that grows in the mix. This question is for fun and you guys will probably guess in 2 seconds. Can you tell which of the plants the deer was eating in this picture?
I am not sure, but one came by my house last night and ate a clump of solomon's seal that was in front of the foundation shrubs. I didn't think they would get so close to the house.
Esh, around here people are complaining that the deer sometimes eat their foundation shrubs right next to the house. I'm beginning to think that they will be into peoples' refrigerators next. Coyotes are said to be regaining some numbers around here and that they might start putting a dent in the deer population one day. We'll see.
Sue, I wish the maple seedlings were native! Alas, they are Acer platanoides. (See the BIG tree the deer is behind? That is a Norway maple.)
It was the violets, so you're half-way right! They are Viola pubescens (not sure of the common name, but they are yellow and kind of pretty). There is a swath of Violets and a horde of Vinca minor on my side, colliding with a huge patch of Lily of the Valley on the neighbor's side. All three are pretty agressive, so they're duking it out. Too bad the deer doesn't like Vinca.
If the deer really like the Violets, I think I'll transplant some out back, where they will probably hold their own and provide a little forage.
You can see some nibbled stalks of the Viola on the left side of this picture -
When they bloomed -
The deer eat hostas (non-native) in our area. I have plenty of those in the yard. In good years, like this one, they just eat the flowers. In bad years, they eat everything. They eat the varigated ones first. They eat the ones you paid lots of money for first, as well.
If they are eating violas, they are welcome to the ones that weed the "patch of green stuff we mow" but in our yard, they vastly prefer the hostas.
I bought some inexpensive hostas (50 for $60, which included shipping) and planted them as decoy plants. It works fairly well. The deer prefer the hostas to most other plants, except perhaps for the giant Sol. seal, which they seem to adore. I do lose some Trilliums early in the season before the hostas are up. I sprayed some of that "deer off" type of chemical, which helped somewhat this season
When I was in the mts. last week, I noticed deer were working on the lilies, but they usually leave most of the trilliums alone. I did find a spot where bears had been camping out, and all of the plants there were bruised or crushed...so give me deer any day, compared to the bears. At least the deer only snort at you when you come upon them!
NCrescue, I like the idea of planting decoy plants or some type of forage for them so they will stay away from the gardens. This may work well depending on how many deer there are and how hungry they are!
Upon further observation in my yard, it seems they like both natives and non-natives. They still have not eaten much in the gardens, knock on wood. But in the wilder parts of the yard, they appear to have munched on -
Native -
Aster cordifolius (Blue wood aster)
Smilacina racemosa (false Solomon's Seal)
Rudbeckia hirta (Black eyed Susans)
Acer platanoides (Norway maple) - the young shoots resprouting on a small tree cut last year
Hosta - a variegated plant in the neighbor's yard, this was munched on the worst of any plant so far
And I know they love the neighbor's Yews (non-native) which they forage on every winter, although some years are worse than others.

ADDISON COUNTY — Several Middlebury College neuroscience undergraduate students are involved with teaching interested students at local high schools in a major way.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College on Jan. 24 will induct the first class into its new Middlebury Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the opening of the college's new field house. The inaugural class of Hall of Fame inductees will include some of Middlebury's most celebrated and accomplished athletes.
The inductees include two women and three men who excelled in baseball, ice hockey, Nordic skiing, lacrosse, field hockey and cross-country. They come from classes as early as 1910 and as recent as 1999.
The inductees are:
MIDDLEBURY — About 40 Middlebury College students on this past Wednesday evening took part in a "die-in" to raise awareness about police oppression of minority groups.
The event was organized by freshmen Kizzy Joseph and Elizabeth Dunn, and senior Molly Stuart. The trio said the impetuses for the die-in were the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner — black men who died at the hands of police in Missouri and New York, respectively.
Editor's note: The following is an open letter to Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz, faculty and students.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury town officials have set Monday, Jan. 19, as the date on which work crews will demolish and remove the Lazarus building at 20 Main St.
Officials had considered removing the long-vacant structure this month, but abandoned that course in an effort to minimize disruption for downtown Middlebury merchants during the peak holiday shopping season.
"We thought it was a better plan for us to wait," Middlebury Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay said.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) has announced the kick-off of the Snow Bowl Shuttle Bus winter schedule. The Saturday/Sunday winter schedule begins Saturday, Dec. 20, and the Monday through Friday winter schedule begins Monday, Dec. 22.
On Christmas Day there will be no bus service and ACTR's administrative office will be closed. On New Year's Day the Snow Bowl bus will operate its usual weekday winter schedule, but ACTR's administrative office will be closed.
MIDDLEBURY — Bill McKibben, one of America's highest profile climate activists, is stepping down as the board chair of 350.org, the environmental organization he co-founded.
He'll remain involved with the group that he and a group of Middlebury College students started in 2007 as a "senior adviser," a role he said entails less day-to-day managing and more large-scale project planning.
MIDDLEBURY — More than 100 students, faculty and staff stood, silently, arms raised in front of Mead Chapel on the campus of Middlebury College Monday afternoon.
The time was 1:01 p.m., the same time of day that Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer on Aug. 9 in Ferguson, Mo. The shooting of the 18-year-old black man reignited a national discussion on racism and police brutality, especially after a grand jury last week declined to bring charges against the officer, Darren Wilson.
I was struck by the juxtaposition of articles on housing in Middlebury in the Thursday, Nov. 27, edition of the Independent. Front-page articles focused on problems of homelessness. Page three reports on Middlebury College's offer to begin selling some of its 70 homes at a 15 percent discount to faculty. The article on sale of Middlebury College owned homes raised the question of whether or not discounted sales would depress housing market prices.

Product description
On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: 'Geronimo, Echo, KIA'. These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror. This is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots-on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission - both inside the building and outside. Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEALs flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head. SEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive story of unparalleled valour, clockwork military precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by one of the most elite fighting forces in the world - the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

Customer reviews
By Ben 14 Mar 2014
Pfarrer is a good story teller and he does well at putting you in the moment. He also appears to be well researched both in the relevant history he discusses and with regard to the accounts of the missions he covers.
The title and blurb for the book is relatively misleading. Three quarters of the book covers the history of the Navy SEALs (everything from the green berets through to the takedown of the Somali pirates involved in the Maersk Alabama hijacking) and the history of Osama Bin Laden and how they eventually intertwined. While it was interesting enough I wasn't expecting it based on how the book is promoted. It's also valuable to be aware that there is speculation about some of the information Pfarrer includes in his accounts. Reading some of the online commentary regarding this but also reading the last chapter of the book first (how he compiled the book) will help fill out that picture and the questions that may arise while you read.
I'm currently reading A Captain's Duty to see how the first hand account of the Maersk Alabama hijacking compares with Pfarrers coverage. I will update the review once I've completed it.
Overall I enjoyed the book enough but only recommend it based on the above disclaimers.
Review quote
'It's an amazing story, written about a world no one knows better than Chuck Pfarrer himself' Doug Stanton, author of In Harm's Way and Horse Soldiers. 'A marvelously engrossing account of the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden' Kirkus Reviews. 'Richly told in broad, cinematic strokes, this is catnip for readers who enjoy special-ops tales' Kirkus Reviews.

Hi All,
Scott had two rounds of Gemzar (six weeks) and a follow up CT scan on the 10th. Current tumors stable but now developing a pleural effusion. They are keeping him on Gemzar for another two rounds then will do an X-ray to see if the effusion has changed.
His sister, who was diagnosed with leukemia six months after his diagnosis has been told her only option will be a clinical trial as they feel they have used all available chemos on her.

She has gone to our state hospital and started the clinical trial, haven't heard which one. She goes to the same dr my husband goes to and they told him today that she is definately getting the medication not the placebo. Not sure how they know that since most studies are blind nor do I know how they can tell him that re: HIPAA but any way they tell him or us everything with no prompting. The doctors at the state hospital have told her if this doesn't work she will need to go to hospice. Their elderly mother has been helping her so far. I'm sure it's hard on her having two children suffering from cancers - she wants to do so much but just can't. It's wearing on her.

Garage Cupola Colors
eve80July 9, 2012
Hi Everyone, I've been browsing the web for answers but I can't seem to find anything interesting.
I am rebuilding a cupola that was set on top of my garage roof. The old one was painted yellow, however, the ENTIRE structure was painted yellow as well - doors, trim and all...
I now have painted the outside walls a different shade of yellow but all the doors and trim are white. What is the custom for cupolas? Are they painted the color of the walls or the color of trim? I don't know what to do. The cupola has a small base and shutter-type walls with a peaked roof and a rooster wind compass.
