OT: angelady
Another Year...By Joanna Fuchs
Another year to create
precious memories together.
Another year to discover
new things to enjoy about each other.
Another year to build
a life rich in love and laughter.
Another year to strengthen
a marriage that defines "forever."
Happy Anniversary, Angela!
You remembered! Wow!
Thanks so much, Granny!!!! It's 11 years today. I told him last year that I knew we'd make it forever if we could make it past ten years. LOL Last year he got me a new, beautiful two-tone gold ring with 2 carats of diamonds. :-)
This year, we're not really doing much of anything. We don't have anyone to help with childcare and all I want is my house cleaned and organized, so we're gonna work on that. I know, it doesn't sound like the best 'date', but it'll work for me... LOL
another anniversary!!! HAppy Anniversary Angela!! Woo Hoo!!!
you made it!! dang!! that's just awesome!! hmmmm.....i couldn't imagine making it to another anniversary!! LOL **wink wink**
hubs was so close to being out of debt, but ohhhh noooo!! we didnt get the dang check in the mail today, mom gets direct deposite so she got hers, man, i don't trust banks that much, people can get into there and take your money out, that irritates me!! ~Medo
Angela, I wish I were close to you...you'd have a baby sitter any time you wanted! Oh well, I'm a practical person myself, and help with household cleaning/organizing sounds like a fine anniversary present to me. Maybe you can put the kids to bed early, kick back and relax, and have a little romantic candlelight dinner with your DH.
Thank you as well, Medo! It has been a great anniversary!
Granny, yep, I'm very practical myself, so I'm fully enjoying today! BUT, if you lived closer, I'd sure take you up on that offer... hee hee
Guess what my tweetie (my nickname for him) got me? A metallic balloon that floats and everything that says, "Happy Anniversay". LOL... AND, he also got me a wonderful water gardening book... oooooooooh, I can't wait until I can make myself a beautiful water garden.... :-)
Awwwww...so sweet! And he helped with the housework too?

WOOO HOOO!! cleaning alone is sooooooo boring!!! i absolutely hate it!! bleck bleck and bleck!!! LOL oh ya and bleck!! Hee Hee i had to put the last one in!! see no one here is remotely like me!! i'm so weird and introverted its beyond belief i think!! LOL although there are two people from the church who are that way, but one i don't really talk to , well i would but she don't really talk to me that much only her mom, the other one, i love talking to, she actually talks to me, weeee!! LOL she's twisted too!! LOL i like that!! LOL ok boys and girls are ya ready?? this is mr and mrs rendi stauffer

how gorgeous is my neice? and my new nephew?? i thought i'd share my neices wedding with the only other family i have!! Hugs ~Medo
They are beautiful, Medo. Thank you for sharing!
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
your very much welcome!! and thank you!! they were so cute!! he is so sweet!! i love how he just dotes on her, and say's that she can have anything that she wants. i wonder how long it will be befor that changes?? LOL and i love how he always has that sparkle when she's around!! and she's just the same way!! LOL its not like your nowa days people just hop into bed and that is that, but they were different they did the whole church thing, seeing the preacher and all that befor getting married and such!! LOL wish we woulda been that good!! we were half way there, LOL
but now its to raise my little ones the right way. that's my big goal. and i don't want a hoochie mama!! LOL i am really scared of that!! short skirts and shirts that show her belly button and shirts that come down so far that show everything she does or doesn't have. uhhgggghhh been there done that on the shirt too low!!! shorts to high, so i tell talla that ok, sweetie, that is a hoochie mama, and well, ya definately dont wanta be that, boys will think you will want to ya know,,, play mommy and have 12 kids with them!! she only wants 4 anything over 4 is too much. it "drives her nuts!!!" LOL so 12 drives that point right home.LOL **grinning** boy i have that plug into her mind!! LOL now when she changes on me in a month or two, i'll have to think of a new one again. LOL **sighing** LOL ~Medo
did you see the rainbow?? on the righthand corner??
Granny - Yep, he helped with the housework, too, but we won't go into how much he created of the mess....
Medo -
1. Awwww... another sweet babysitting offer, how cool is that? As for being weird, yes, that's cool... being introverted, though? I'd never guess ya for that by the way you are here at the forums! House cleaning buddies, huh? That sounds like a plan! The only problem is since we don't live closer, then I'll have to find someone else around here who's house is as bad as mine so we can team up... I think that'll be quite the chore... LOL
2. Wow! And, you said you hate going to weddings? Those two were sooo adorable! I just love the pics, and I'm sure the wedding was sooo adorable and lovable, too! I'm sure I'd of been crying if I were there.
3. You said, "i love how he just dotes on her, and say's that she can have anything that she wants." Well, guess what? My tweetie was pretty much exactly like that 13 years ago when I first met him, 11 years ago when we got married, and ALL through-out the marriage up until this very day. I am one very blessed woman, no doubt!
thank you!! they are just gorgeous!!
that's what i think!! but ya know!! i hope talla grows up to be a strong minded woman like the rest of us in this line of woman!! LOL i think she's gonna be and more twisted than us by the way she talks!! LOL i do think she'll have her guy wrapped around her finger!! she's got them adorable little brown eyes!! and that killer smile!! LOL
if i ever feel to bad about my house, i just watch how clean is your house?? on bbc i think. man them are some messy houses!! but thats crud, i told hubs i think our house is getting that bad, because we have wall to wall stuff!! so its time to get rid of stuff!! so one week befor trash day we are gonna send the kids down to his moms for a few days and go thru stuff. so this will be interesting. especially since i'm one of them people who hold onto things to remember stuff. LOL ~Medo
The mushy stuff again......oh god...
Granny - I tried your razzy rita drink today. It was ok, but I didn't like the "sugar free" after taste. It was interesting though!
Wanna see my spider? Check out my blog.
Angela - happy anniversary.

Now, see, EG...I am so used to the sugar free stuff 'cause that is all I drink. My mother was a type I diabetic, as was my youngest son (from age ten) so I've lived most of my life with the artificial sweeteners. I can't stand drinks with real sugar for the most part. I have a "real" Margarita once a year, on my birthday! I had two last year though, when we went to Laughlin, NV for a few days and Mr. H and I entered a free slot tournament. Mr. H won the thing, so I had a drink with him to celebrate. Heck, winning $15,200.00 on a freebee is worth having a drink over!
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
EG, your spider might be deadlier, but mine is bigger:
We are "blessed" with a lot of black widows at both of our homes, and scorpions at our place in AZ, but this was the first (and last) tarantula I'd seen. She was strolling down our driveway, and I picked her up in a huge pickle jar. You can see how big she was as compared to my hand. After our photo session, I turned her loose and she went on her way. Did you know they can live up to 30 years?
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
EG, if they have penny slot machines, he'll go anywhere with you!
We'll miss our Laughlin trips. The free rooms, free food, and the fun. Unfortunately, they do not allow pets and we are now the parents of three. The bunny was no problem, he stayed in a cage in the back of the Ranger, in a parking garage. Can't do that with two wild little doxies! Now a day trip to a nearby Indian casino once a month is about all we can manage. We've both been quite lucky this past year. We come back north through Jackpot, NV and I hit $1200 on a penny machine on our way home last spring.
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
Granny - yeah, they got lots of penny slots in Tunica, Mississippi. Check it out! I prefer Hollywood Casino, because I can get more free drinks there! Just tell Mr. H to fly into Memphis, and i'll be standing at the arrivals location - holding up a big photo of his hand and the cucumber. Deal? ha!
Deal, EG! Or, why don't you fly to Vegas, and we'll meet you there and take you to Laughlin.
Oh, yeah. The puppies.
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
hey what 's that drink?? with the sugar substitute?? i use splenda all the time, i don't want to be diabetic. my mom just found out she is.
ok here is my taller than my porch castor bean plant
this baby is soooo tall, i didn't expect it to be that tall, other ones are maybe 3 ft, then i have the 2 ft. then ya have this HUGE baby!! hubs said no, ya have to move it!! i had to tell him its a annual. LOL ~Medo
Medo, that was a sugar free Margarita we were discussing...with or without alcohol. I like mine without, but EG likes his double (wink-wink). The recipe is on my blog, the most recent one, with the jalapeno jelly recipe.
The castor bean plant is gorgeous, but doesn't it scare you to have it around? Being so deadly poisonous, I mean?
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
Granny - the wife has mentioned vegas a few times...it could definitely happen in the future. Reckon I can bring my shotgun and flashlight with me? Just in case I have trouble sleeping.
Medo - that's some freaky looking reefer you got growin there. Hey, that's what it looks like. I think I read somewhere that it was poisonous or something....isn't it to deter moles?
I just put pictures on my blog of my finished new beds. I think they are lookin' pretty good!
EG, Vegas might be doable! It's only a three hour drive for me, if you go between October and April!
Here is a link that might be useful: Granny's New Garden Beds
no, it doesn't scare me, the kids don't mess with any of my plants, and talla absolutely hates anything pokey!! and mine have never gotten to the stage that it actually produces seeds, i hope this year it does, this time it has gotten flowers. LOL and it looks like it might get seeds. we are getting the kids to go to grandma's for his weekend. so we can go thru stuff to throw it all away!! YES!!! this is really going to happen!! do you see my very first project?? the front porch!! LOL that chair is perfectly fine, the problem, i have no room, and no use for it, all the clutter does, though! LOL so i'm going to put it out on the side and put a big free sign on it,i also have a big side by side that the only thing is wrong with it is that the compressor is going out, so the very very top part doesn't freeze but the rest does. and the fridge works great!! i think i'm gonna put it out there and put a free sign on it too. taking up to much space also. i told hubs everything is gotto either be used or go!! he said, hmmmm.....ok. we'll see. but as long as sex is in the deal ok. LOL i said, well lets see how much work gets done then we'll see. HEE HEE i''m a real stinker!! so i got his guns out of pawn today and picked up the payday loans. now we're on our way to being debt free again!! WOOO HOO, well i should say on board, or can breath or what ever normal paying people call it!! LOL we were spending i think i figured 300 a month on payday loans, they are the worst idea ever, he let me see them, i think if i had my paintball gun i woulda shot him good!! maybe 3 or 4 times just to get the frusteration out!! can you say wasted money???
ok EG, this is what we did, we lifted both ends of the gh up, i'll show the pic, jay said heck if your gonna have dirt hauled in lift both ends up!! i thought, sounds good!!
do you want me to just email them to you? because i took like 4 or 5 pics.
this is yvonnes salvia
this is where the nasty seed (nastitrium sp)
for angela
this is where the 4 oclock seed comes out
also for angela
my caterpillars i think?? i think they are also eating the aphids LOL hopefully
now i have no idea what the heck this is!! any idea's????
Thank you VERY much to everyone who wished me a happy anniversary. I really appreciate it!!!!!
Wow, that's a big win, Granny! I would have 2 or maybe 10 drinks with that kind of win! hee hee
EG - There ain't much that'll yuck me out more than spiders... ICK!
Medo -
1. Yikes! That's an annual? Wow! That's HUGE for an annual. And yes, those payday loans should be illegal... they're SUCH a rip-off.
2. Thanks for the pics, cool caterpillar.... and, I don't know what the last one is, sorry... as for where the seed comes out.... I don't get that at all... I just don't see where.... LOL.... It's driving me crazy! These things are beautiful and I never see any seeds on it or my Crape Myrtle bush and both are very pretty and established enough for seeds... uggggh... I'm gonna bring my neighbor over to show me, I think... well, if he knows that is... he knows a lot about plants, but I've never seen him harvest seeds before. LOL
Also, I want to let you all know that I'm heading back to Dallas again and will be out of town again for a few days. This time I should be coming back with Hannah's new leg on her and wonderfully comfortable, too, if all goes as I know it will! I'll let you know that I'm back when I get back... hahahahaha
we'll pray for your safe trip!! and for hannah to have a great something or another with that leg!! LOL
ok angela, on my 4 oclock, look and see that black spot?? i left it there for you, its the seed, at first its a ball. then its green then it turns black, when its black the seed is done, it falls out. of where the flower used to be.
my one flower i didn't know what was?? well tabor was looking over someones list, and looked up verbena bonarisis sp and that's what it is. how cool!! now i'm going to move it to full sun, it'll do better there next year, well i hope its a perennial. i have to look that up!! now i pulled my dahlia, took all of its tubers off and put it in the fridge in some soiless soil. the thing is, last year i had alot of glads, canna's and they all died, i don't know how to properly store them. so i'm hoping to do this right!!
i need to pull the glads and do the same with them too. so should i put them in the fridge and leave them there? last time flies got to them. so that didn't work. i don't want to lose them!! ~Medo
Granny - since I've always planned every vacation we've ever took, i've agreed to let my wife pick the next place to go. We'll see..
Medo - yeah, email the pics to me. Also, about the fridge problem.....I've been working on fridges for 25 years, and it doesn't sound like a compressor problem..... Perhaps you can give me some more details with your email, and I can tell you some things to check.
Angela - good luck
Granny -
1. Awwww... I absolutely will tell her! (((hugs)))
2. You wrote: "Angela, you MUST try hot pepper jelly! It's made with red or green bell peppers, but it doesn't taste like them at all." OH, YUCK! I had no idea it was made with bell yuckers or I wouldn't have given it another thought... ewwwwwww... LOL... I must REALLY love my husband because I served him stuffed bell yuckers for dinner while the rest of us had my "Creative" weekly leftover soup. :-) (None of us, but him, like bell yuckers, and we really call them by that name here rather than bell peppers... LOL... really!) And, the soup was pretty impressive this week, even if I do say so myself! ;-)
Medo -
1. I concur! It is "Verbena bonariensis"! Too cool that you both figured that out so soon. Cool!!!!
2. Oh, goodness.... I'm gonna go study the plant again for seeds when I get back to see if I can see what you're talking about. I feel sooo ridiculous for not getting it! LOL (I really was a straight A student in school! LOL) At least now I know where to look. I am determined to get seeds from it, though... determined, I tell you! Tom (the trader you and I just traded with) is now asking me about harvesting the seeds). He's great, huh? Well, I want to give him them so I best figure it out as soon as I get back. Do you have any idea when they go to seed usually?
OH, and I kind of ignored the Vegas and gambling stuff for the most part, but since this thread mentions my anniversary, I have to say that the ONLY thing that came anywhere close to breaking up our marriage (twice for that matter) was his gambling addiction. Thank God he's been delivered from that horrible addiction.
Anyways, I guess we can't meet up with you guys on your next vacation (if EG's wife picks that kind of destination). LOL
BUT, if we could, I'm pretty darned good at that 'ole Texas Hold 'Em... you know, being from Texas and all... hee hee... It's a wild and crazy game, and I've won bookoooo bucks at it, but had to give it up so I'm not tempting my dear 'ole hubby that I love.
LOL, Angela...sure can't blame you for that! My son-in-law's mother is addicted to gambling, and it's not nice at all, she is constantly in debt. We aren't "gamblers", we're "have some funners"! We only take cash for what we feel we can afford to lose, and never, never go over our limit. Penny slots only, me more for the games. We use our slot cards, and stay with one casino, so we get good perks (in Nevada free rooms, meals, etc. at the Indian casino in WA, free buffet on Senior Tuesday). Although it could get addictive if we'd win as much as Mr. H did last year! The entire amount went directly into a CD at the bank, towards our new car (next year, maybe).
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
ya my mom's hubs is that way, he puts them in debt about once a month i swear because of his addiction, he even almost made them lose their house last month because of it, and like about 6 years ago, they went into bankruptcy becauseof it. i think i'd kill my hubs and tell GOD he died of natural causes!! especially if we lost our house because of his gambling, but hubs don't do that i don't think, lord i hope not. not behind my back, at least if we have the extra money i don't mind if he takes a little bit and goes, but that's it. i don't like to. LOL tabor is pretty good at texas holdum. he plays with his uncle dave, so they bought him a set for christmas. LOL ~Medo

Cole Hamels versus Zack Greinke
December, 30, 2012
By Bill Baer | ESPN.com
Getty Images/AP PhotoCole Hamels and Zack Greinke have similar contracts and peripherals, but not the same ERAs.Last summer, Cole Hamels signed a six-year $144 million contract to remain with the Philadelphia Phillies through 2018. Just a few weeks ago, Zack Greinke signed a six-year, $147 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Over the past three seasons, Greinke has a 3.17 xFIP while Hamels is a sliver worse at 3.18. These are two very similar pitchers, or so you'd think.
Since 2010, Hamels has outpitched Greinke ERA-wise by nearly a full run, 2.95 to 3.83. This is despite the two just about matching each other in strikeout rate (Hamels 24.2 percent, Greinke 23.3 percent), walk rate (6.1 percent, 6.2 percent) and ground ball rate (46.9 percent, 47.4 percent). How can two virtually identical pitchers have such a massive disparity in ERA?
As Yuniesky Betancourt's presence may have indicated, the Royals put together some lousy defenses during Greinke's tenure in Kansas City. According to defensive efficiency, a stat found at Baseball Prospectus, the Royals were the worst defensive team in 2004 and '05, and were close to the bottom in 2007, '09 and '10. And while the Phillies have never been an elite defensive club in recent years, they have been closer to the middle than the bottom, finishing in the top five in the National League in '08, '10 and '11.
Ultimate zone rating, a defensive stat found at FanGraphs, paints an even better picture for the Phillies. In each of Hamels' seasons, the Phillies finished in the top 10 in the NL, while Greinke's Royals finished in the bottom three in the AL four times. In Greinke's six seasons in Kansas City, the Royals were 134 runs below average (average minus-22 runs per season) while the Phillies were 95 runs above average in Hamels' seven seasons (average plus-14 runs per season).
As Hamels himself learned in 2009, sometimes your own success and failure is out of your control. A run of bad dice rolls can add up quickly and create some funny-looking numbers. In this case, the various amalgamations of defenses created by the Royals hurt Greinke and the rest of their pitchers more than they likely realized. The Phillies have had plus defenders at catcher, second base, shortstop, third base, center field and right field for most of Hamels' career.
Designated hitter
This reason is fairly intuitive. Hamels has benefited greatly from a reprieve at the bottom of the lineup while Greinke has had to face a bona fide hitter in the DH spot throughout most of his career. Since 2004, the average DH in the American League posted a wOBA between .333 and .352. During Hamels' career, the average pitcher in the National League posted a wOBA between .150 and .167.
Pitcher BABIP
One of the most important Sabermetric findings came from Voros McCracken, who discovered that pitchers, for the most part, have very little control on the rate at which batted balls are converted into outs. Since then, we have refined that theory except to pitchers at the extreme ends of the BABIP spectrum (such as Jeremy Hellickson), but it is still by and large fairly accurate.
Over larger samples, though, individual batted ball skill starts to shine through. In 1,376.2 regular-season innings, Hamels has an overall .282 BABIP. In 1,492 regular-season innings, Greinke has an overall .308 BABIP. With both pitchers having induced somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 batted balls over their careers, the 26-point difference is about 104 hits in total. According to FanGraphs, the run value of a single relative to an out is 0.89 runs, so the difference is about 93 runs if you assume the least, that all of those extra hits were singles. Some of the BABIP disparity comes from the aforementioned defenses, so the 26-point gap isn't just the pitchers. It is very difficult to untangle the two.
There is a vast disparity between Hamels and Greinke when runners are in scoring position. According to play-by-play data dating back to 2009, Hamels has a .283 BABIP and .282 wOBA with RISP, while Greinke has a .337 BABIP and .314 wOBA. As a result, Greinke's strand rate is 5.6 percent lower. In other words, for every 20 runners who reach base, Greinke has allowed one extra runner to score compared to Hamels. Since 2009, both pitchers have faced roughly 3,500 batters and allowed just more than 1,000 of them to reach base, so the 5.6 percent gap in strand rate amounts to about 50 runs.
Is Hamels really as good -- and Greinke really as bad -- as ERA indicates? It doesn't appear to be the case in a vacuum. If you put both pitchers in the same league facing the same hitters with the same defense behind them, they would likely put up remarkably similar numbers. Now with the Dodgers, though, Greinke will have a defense that is sufficiently average according to ultimate zone rating, and he will benefit from the pitcher-friendly confines of Dodger Stadium. Perhaps 2013 is the year Greinke returns to his Cy Young-caliber ways.

Background of Victorinox by ABITAX
It's been said «Form follows function» which is rightly true. The design and the shape of Victorinox pocket knives represent this philosophy. Meeting this criterion alone does not guarantee the success of the product in today's developed market, however. Products must have a total product power to appeal to the psychological aspect of the consumers such as eco-conscious packaging and a wider color choice.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
07 Mar 2013 09:55 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China, Japan
North Korea has built a huge "security perimeter" around a camp for political prisoners, restricting movement in nearby villages as part of its "general repression" of its people, according to Amnesty International, the London-based rights watchdog.
The reclusive country's network of political prison camps is believed to hold at least 200,000 people and has been the scene of rapes, torture, executions and slave labour, Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said in January.
Analysis of new satellite images of the area near Camp No 14 in Kaechon shows that the government is "blurring the lines" between its camps and surrounding civilians, Amnesty International said on Thursday.
The images show that between 2006 and 2013, North Korea has constructed 20km of posts around the Choma-Bong valley and its inhabitants, along with checkpoints and guard towers, the group said in a statement voicing fears about government intentions for the valley, 70km north of the capital Pyongyang.
"The security and control adjacent to Camp 14 shows the degree to which general repression and restrictions on the right to liberty of movement have become commonplace in North Korea," Rajiv Narayan, North Korea researcher for Amnesty International, said.
UN inquiry urged
The London-based group called on the UN Human Rights Council, holding its main annual session in Geneva, Switzerland, to launch an international commission of inquiry into grave and systematic violations "including crimes against humanity".
North Korea denies the existence of a network of camps.
A similar UN investigation similar to the one Amnesty International is demanding, made up of independent experts, has said it is documenting war crimes committed by both sides in Syria's conflict so as to build a case for future prosecution.
Pillay, who met two North Korean camp survivors in December, has called for an independent investigation into "one of the worst - but least understood and reported - human rights situations".
Concerns about abuses in the impoverished country have persisted for years, but have been largely overshadowed in international forums by fears over North Korea's attempts to become a nuclear weapons power.
The UN Security Council is expected to vote later on Thursday on a draft resolution in response to North Korea's third underground nuclear test last month.
Amnesty International commissioned DigitalGlobe to take the images and help with their analysis following reports of the possible construction of a new political prison camp adjacent to Camp No 14 in Kaechon, South Pyongyan province.
"We expected to find a new or expanded prison camp. What we found is in some ways even more worrisome," Frank Jannuzi, deputy executive director of Amnesty International USA, said.
The security perimeter beyond what appears to be the formal boundaries of Camp 14 blurs the line between people in the prison system known as Kwan-li-so and civilians, he said.
'Forced hard labour'
New buildings that appear to house workers are probably linked to expanded mining activity in the region, Amnesty International said.
"Many of those held in political prison camps have not committed any crime, but are related to those deemed unfriendly to the regime and detained as a form of collective punishment," it said.
The prisoners face human rights violations including "forced hard labour, denying food as punishment, torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment".
Japan and the US called last week for the Security Council to launch an inquiry into alleged violations including torture and execution of political prisoners in North Korea.
The UN body already has an independent investigator on North Korea, Marzuki Darusman, who has said a wider inquiry should examine personal and institutional accountability for crimes.
Activists hope the forum adopts a resolution on North Korea by consensus now that neither China nor Russia are members.

I've got growth!
Watered my containers today and had around 50 with some growth! Still just teeny tiny but I was beginning to doubt......Now we just need some real spring weather here in CO instead of snow every week so more will sprout! Ended up with around 450 containers (30 more sown after May1) so I'm still barely at 10% germination right now but we haven't had any nights even in the 40s yet, more sprouts to come....
Liz - -450 containers will be A LOT of plants to get in the ground! You must be so excited but I caution you not to spend too much time admiring your darlings as they appear (and they will!!) but instead use this too cold spring to make sure your beds are ready for the massive plant out.
Ask me how I got this wise :)
I love watching the sprouts pop up much better than raking, weeding and edging!)
Congrats on finally getting sprouts! As I recall, you were the individual winner in the container count with 420 containers.
I agree with Nan, my winter-sowing eyes were always bigger than the garden beds I had ready for all those seedlings. At first you want to save every sprout, but then you learn to be ruthless, cull the weak ones, plunk and run, expect a certain mortality out in the garden (lack of water, slugs, or poor genetics). And occasionally a container or 2 never got planted.
WSing makes it easy to grow more though. :)

SharePoint is a browser-based collaboration and data management platform that is supported by the Office of Information Technology at the University of Tennessee. You can access your My Site, request a new site collection, or click on any of the options below to learn more about what SharePoint can do for you!
SharePoint can be used for document, media, and data management and collaboration as well as Web hosting and Web content management. It provides a secure place to store, organize, share, publish and access information as well as manage document libraries from almost any device using an Internet browser.
This section will discuss the following:
At UTK, SharePoint is divided into two types of site collections; A MySite, and all other collections. OIT offers multiple training classes to teach you about your MySite, documents, permissions, lists, and branding a site collection as well as online documentation for using the UTK templates, external authentication, and other features.
SharePoint doesn't do new things, it does things differently. SharePoint has many advantages over other solutions for document management, data management, web site management, permissions, and collaboration.
Before settling on SharePoint as a solution for your needs, you will probably have some more technical questions such as: How much storage space does SharePoint provide? or Does SharePoint only work with Windows and Internet Explorer?

Next time. Call me. Not like this will ever happen again though. Awesome shot by the way.
Thanks Andrew!!! I didn't believe it when i was driving up there!
Kevin - this is just so classic Ozzy.. Nice going.
Wow! I'm very jealous.
Score 7.8/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
Very quintessential Ozzy stare. Nice clarity, great depth of field. I like that you got the detail of his hair falling on his shirt. Would have scored extra bonus points it if the mic wasn't covering the O on his hand. It's a little warm from the lights, and would have liked it if you'd gotten the top of his head. Given that, I'd crop it slightly tighter on top so it looks more purposeful, and I'd also crop it to remove the destracting yellow bit on the left. I'd also try 1/3 to 1/2 stop less, at least on the face and mic hand. I can tell there are some lovely tones and sweat lurking there just waiting to come out.
I'm impressed that it's a small show with Ozzy, but I know I can't reflect that in the score.
Seen in Concert Photography Score Me! (Post 1, Score 5) Plz Read Rules (?)
Good old Ozzy! Glad to see he's still alive and kicking. Great shot, the intensity in his eyes really draws you in, and I'm glad you got some of his tats in too.
I think the crop is excellent, there's a good balance between the subject and empty space, and since he fills the frame up top to bottom, it makes him seem really close. Good colors, and great detail too, especially all around his face.
Score 8/10
Seen in the group"Concert Photography Score Me! (Post 1, Score 5) Plz Read Rules" (?)
You managed to deal with the red blanket lighting really well here. Tricky to do sometimes. Great detail! Score 8/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
the sharpness and expression are great, and its nice that you chose an image where his whole face is visible. the crop is also a nice element.
Score 7.5/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
Classic Ozzy, very nice. Well lit, just wish I could see all of his fingers. It'd be nice to see that "OZZY" running down his hand, but I like it.
Score 8.5/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
Tack sharp, great expression. Not sure about the crop and as far as the composition goes, he's a little too central but Ozzy's expression carries it.
Score 7/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
I really like the intensity of his stare. Maybe you should have toned down the color a bit, it's the only reason I did not give it a 9 ;)
Score 8.5/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
i really like this photo,ozzy is the best!
score 9/10(from the concert photography Score Me! group)
Stunning shot dude! I've been dying to catch Camp Freddie sometime ever since hearing about them when I interviewed the cult's billy duffy...seriously jealous
Score 9/10 (from the Concert Photography Score Me! group)
Gussifer has got good tips!
Yeaaaahhh!!!!!! OZZY the best!!!!! great expression.
Ozzy !! ...Il Migliore!!
what a great fucking shot!!!! love it!!!! that expression of ozzy, just great!!!

Rayon or Poly threads
We are beginners to the machine embroidery craft, and would like to know what would be the best selection of threads for learning and general embroidery applications. Rayon or Polyester. We have a Husky Viking Diamond, and they seem to push the Rayon threads. Others I talked to say either will work, others say use poly for best results.
Also does anyone have an opinion on the Thread Delight brand of embroidery threads, in both rayon and poly. They have like 100 colors on 1100 yd cones for $142.00 on sale and would like to buy it if its decent threads, but what do I get poly or rayon? Any help appreciated.
In general, rayon has a nicer sheen and is often preferred for purely decorative pieces that don't get a lot of wear and tear. Polyester is a little harder wearing and is usually preferred for embroidering articles of clothing since it holds up to frequent washing better.
Sorry, I don't have any experience with the Thread Delight brand.
I have been machine embroidering for almost 10 years and I prefer rayon thread. I've never had any issues with washing / fading / etc that others talk about and I'm a notorious member of the "wear it for a few minutes, it needs to be washed" club. I think you get more colors in rayon thatn poly.
I have not heard of teh THread Delight brand of thread.
I've only been at this a short while but it's all I do now since getting laid off. Started with poly thread but have grown to love the rayon thread much more. Thankyou mama22 for your comment on the washing and fading issue it was a major concern of mine. From what i understand Threadelight is an Aussie thread and has great reviews. I have been wanting to try it. Can anyone offer me info on the FuFu rayon threads. I talked with a rep the otherday and he said they had the best radiance and sheen but what I want to know is the breakage factor

Beautyberry jelly recipe
Does anyone have a recipe for beautyberry jelly? I didn't find one in the archives. My plants are full of berries and I would like to try it this year. I did find a recipe on a foraging website (eattheweeds.com), but it did not have any added lemon juice and I was not sure if it was safe.
Found a couple and linked the best one below. But I don't know of any reason why any of the berry jelly recipes wouldn't work for them - blueberry, raspberry, loganberry, etc. - the basic ingredients are all the same.
Here is a link that might be useful: Beauty Berry jelly recipe
I have made jelly from the American Beautyberry.
I used the Sure-Jell recipe for elderberries to make my Beautyberry Jelly. It includes 1/4 cup of lemon juice. This recipe called for fresh lemon juice, but I used bottled lemon juice. The proportions were the same in the Sure-Jell recipe as Beautyberry Jelly recipes I found online, but this one included the lemon juice.
I also used a trick I learned here, which is to add an extra tablespoon of pectin (in addition to the full package called for in the recipe) each time I make jelly. The set always comes out just right.
I had 6 cups of berries, and those 6 cups made EXACTLY the 3 cups of juice called for in the recipe. Lucky me. In making the juice, I used only enough water to cover the berries. Use too much water, and the color and taste of the jelly is diluted too much. I learned that lesson the first time I made mayhaw jelly.
The American Beautyberry may not taste good fresh off the bush, but it makes a lovely, tasty jelly. This is a jelly worth making.
The color of the jelly comes out a beautifuly clear jewel-toned garnet color---not at all the lavendar/purple I expected.
I really enjoy finding wild edibles and this plant is abundant in southeast Texas. I'm extremely cautious about all plant ID and always research all plants carefully as to safety and how to use the plant parts. Many people don't realize this plant makes a good jelly, because too many raw ones will give you a bellyache.
I haven't tried it yet, but I've read that rubbing the crushed leaves on your skin acts as a mosquito repellent.

It's Verizon who charges for the number to be released
Are carriers allowed to charge for number porting, and, if so, how much can the charges be? Companies may assess fees to recover the costs that they incur in providing number portability. Fees may vary between companies, and some companies may not charge any fees. Companies may not refuse to port a number because a consumer has not paid for porting. When considering a switch, consumers should ask the new company whether it charges any number portability fees and whether those fees can be waived.
That brings back memory... I wonder what happened to that bobcat.
(DVR's that store your content in the cloud? Sounds good enough)
TP, of course
1) Porting fee ($40) waived.2) Unlimited international calling to Costa Rica (where my family is from) included with OV (my eyes kinda widened at that)
1) Porting fee ($40) waived.Everyone here says that porting fee is mandatory

I had almost forgotten to pay my $699 licensing fee. Makes me feel like such a cock-smoking teabagger!
accountants? I don't think they do what you think they do.
I've got an Athalon chipset and it runs swimmingly
Cool, I've never heard of those. Who builds these? And what processors do they support?
I would love to have a chipset that can still operate correctly when fully submerged. Do they generate enough heat so I can do the dishes with the waste water?
I have an R350 chipset, you insensitive clod!
Seriously though, I'm not seeing much progress with respect to older processors. FTFA,
Two weeks after the initial R500 3D documentation release, AMD had released an R300 3D register guide. This programming guide concerning their older graphics hardware was previously only available through Non-Disclosure Agreements to select developers.
Well, so far my experience with the open source R350 drivers is lukewarm. They do work to an extent, in that they can run Tux Racer and its forks, but FlightGear remains beyond their capabilities.
Why not just buy a R600 or R700 card?
AMD Marketing.
I'm not as crazy as you think. It'll take a while, but yeah that's what's going to happen. It's not because people care about the FLOSS. It's about the secondary effects - code quality, clever applications, creative leverage on having a real view of the underlying architecture. That, and more eyes on the problem.
No, I'm not crazy enough to think the vast majority of people care about this for the inevitable fully functional GPL video drivers that will come of it. Some do, but in the grand scale not enough to shift the market faster than the technologies go obsolete.

The Fallacy Of Owning Gold Mining Equities [View article]
While I do feel you are spot on with gold miners having more risk as gold goes up,we must keep in mind that the HERD will start to move back into gold miners once the new gold rally starts and you cannot stop a herds money flow. Some of the largest gains happen in these situations and things go parabolic and end with a massive blow off top and CRASH.
Most individuals are followers not traders so if the rally starts hold on tight and play it for all its worth :)Nov 22, 2012. 08:51 AM | 6 Likes |Link to Comment

Genesis 17:12 YHVH told Abraham: And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed.
For those who have not had this privilege at birth don't be condemned. Circumcision of the heart comes first for some. Although it would have been easier on the eighth day for you, it may be a greater privilege to make a conscious decision of your own to covenant with father in this way.

Spiritual Circumcision
in Religion
This week, on Talkin' Scripture, we will talk about Spiritual Circumcision. Circumcision was commanded in the book of Genesis. It was a sign between the covenant between Abraham and God. What does circumcision have to do with us? A lot. And it is something we must take part in. Tune in to find out what I'm talkin about.
Myths about Circumcision: What You Want to Know
Kristen Tea and Crystal Wolf talk about the many myths that often are used to persuade parents to follow the routine infant circumcision that is happening in the U.S. today. If a parent becomes informed on the Truths of circumcision and see how invalid the myths are, they can see clearly how chosing to keep their boys intact is the way to go!
Functions of the Foreskin: Say No to Circumcision, Yes to Intact
Ever wonder what the foreskin really does? Tune in to hear from Kristen Tea and Crystal Wolf all of the amazing purposes of this "flap of skin." Learn why you want to keep your boy intact, and avoid the horrors of circumcision. This is part one of educating future parents and current parents on why they want to research circumcision before cutting their little boy.
What Advantage then Hath the Ysraelites?or What Profit is There of Circumcision?
in The Bible
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of YHWH. Rom 3:1-2
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of YHWH; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Heb 5:12
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of YHWH; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which YHWH giveth: that YHWH in all things may be glorified through YHWH the Son, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Halleluyhwh
[AHD] Circumcision
in Health
Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin, which is the skin that covers the tip of the male sexual organ. In the United States, it is often done before a new baby leaves the hospital. There are medical benefits and risks to circumcision. Possible benefits include a lower risk of urinary tract infections, penile cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. The risks include pain and a low risk of bleeding or infection. The practice of circumcision dates to ancient times. In ancient Egypt, prior to biblical times, circumcision was performed to improve male hygiene. Later, routine circumcision of male infants was part of the Abrahamic covenants with Jehovah, giving rise to religious circumcisions that continue to this day in the Jewish and Muslim faiths.
In Africa, attitudes towards circumcisions are changing from traditional beliefs into health and preventive measures. Until recently, the lines of circumcisions were clearly defined by cultures and traditions.
External Circumcision and Internal Circumcision.
in Spirituality
We will discuss Jeremiah 9:23-26 and Romans 2:23-31. God said that he would punish all, the circumcised, as well as the uncircumcised, because of their transgressions to his laws and commandments. The Jews felt confident that they would be saved because of their external circumcision, but God requires an internal circumcision of the heart because an external circumcision meant that physically you were of God, but internally, you still served your sinful fleshly nature.
Understanding Circumcision: Daddy, Why Are We Different?
in Family
Today Sharon Ann Wikoff will share with listeners the story, Daddy,Why Are We Different?" This is a gentle and loving story, telling a little boy, in ways that he can understand, WHY he is different from his father... because he was not circumcised! Often a family will choose to have their son circumcised, just because they want him to resemble his father. Now, more and more families are coming to understand the trauma that routine circumcision puts a child through for no valid reason, and are saying NO... Do not cut my child. We must re-think traditions, especially traditions which inflict great pain. In addition, Sharon will be sharing 10 reason NOT to circumcise your child, from the website, www.Intact America.com
Maggie Rhodes Describes her Sons Botched Circumcision
in Politics
Many of you have heard of the story of three-month-old infant known as Baby Ashton has been left mutilated after doctors cut off his during what was supposed to be a 20-minute circumcision procedure.
Memphis, Tenn. mother Maggie Rhodes is now regretting taking her son Ashton to the Christ Community Health Center in August to get circumcised.
"After I went home and I discovered that my son's was not there, I immediately froze, like, oh my God," Rhode told My Fox Memphis.
Rhodes said she was told the procedure would only take 20 minutes but was left waiting for hours as she heard her baby scream throughout the entire procedure.
"It took them about three hours to do the circumcision and so my baby screamed the whole three hours, like the whole process," Rhodes said. "Then even when she gave him back to us, he was still screaming."
Rhodes said she was not notified of the botched procedure, instead she and her sister made the shocking discovery at home when Ashton was still screaming and they saw his diaper filled with blood.
"When she pulled back the cloth, like the thing was like, gone. She cut up instead of down, instead of cutting around the top of the ," Rhodes was quoted.
Ms. Rhodes will be on the show today to dicuss this disturbing story with Chris. Appearing with Maggie on the show was yet another victim of Christ Community HC botched circumcision; Lena, who's son was also treated in just such a sloppy unprofessional manner. Make sure you are on hand to listen and/or call in. And feel free to add your thoughts on the commentsection on this page by srolling down.
DARC Enlightenment Series: Topic:Ancient African Spirituality vs Modern Religion
in Culture
Topic: Ancient African Spirituality vis a vis Modern Religion - Circumcision: To Cut or Not to Cut
SPECIAL: Circumcision: A Human Rights &Gender Equity Problem
in Family
The Voice of Change welcomes Georganne Chapin, executive director of IntactAmerica.org to the program today. She will discuss how routine infant male circumcision constitutes a human rights violation on a massive scale, asking how we as a culture can condemn female genital mutilation, while continuing to embrace the cosmetic, medically unnecessary cutting of baby boys' genitals. Georganne Chapin is the founding executive director of Intact America, an organization that is changing the way Americans think about circumcision. Expectant parents find a true ally in Chapin, who supplies accurate health information through Intact America's website and fights for children by demanding that public health officials reveal the truth about this needless surgery. Her "Circumcision Debate" article, published in Hudson Valley Parent magazine, highlights her dedication to the intactivist cause. She also writes frequently about the issue on Intact America's blog.
Chapin writes and presents widely in the U.S. and abroad on bioethics and health care reform. She is frequently quoted in the press, and has appeared on national and local television and radio. She earned her B.A. in Anthropology from Barnard College, her M.A. and M.Phil. degrees in Sociomedical Sciences from Columbia University, and a J.D., cum laude, with certificates in Health Law and International Law from Pace University School of Law. She has taught as an adjunct professor of law at Pace.
"Jesus, Tithes, First Fruits, Circumcision and The New Covenant"
in Religion
What is the "why" for Jesus going to the cross. Why did HE have to die? Yes it was for our sins but the question is why did he have to die ? Were they not already giving tithes of bulls and goats as blood offerings to atone for sins? Were they not already under a priest system that God dwelled in the Most Holy place of the Temple and the high priest went in once a year for atonement? Why did all these traditions need to change? why did Jesus have to go to the cross if this system was working? Why did God make it PARAMOUNT to change the Covenant at the Cross and why is today's church oblivious to the change? Can we worship God they we want to like Cain or must we worship in Spirit and Truth?
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Heb 8:7
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

I'm using https://github.com/jarednova/jquery-total-storage to access localStorage. In IE8 and IE9, I'm having a weird issue and it seems to occur even if I just use plain old javascript.
If I go to
http://foo and use $.totalStorage, it persists through that session but is gone when I close and open IE.
If I go to
http://foo.mydomain.com and use $.totalStorage, it persists when I close and open IE.
It even occurs when I launch (localhost) debugging from Visual Studio!
In Firefox / Chrome, it persists between sessions regardless of if I got go foo or foo.mydomain.com
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
UPDATE: To reproduce this, just add this script block to your page, then serve it from
http://localhost or
var storage = window.localStorage;
alert (storage.foo);
storage.foo = 'bar!';
The first time you run it on localhost you'll get "undefined". Then if you refresh you'll get "bar!". Then if you close out of IE and go back in again, you'll get "undefined" instead of "bar!".

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Almyra Hotel
Poseidon Avenue, Paphos, Cyprus
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Long gone is the old Paphos Beach hotel, and in its place the Almyra brings a healthy dose of high-design glamour and an unusual young family-friendly angle. Paphos, once the Mediterranean getaway of choice for the budget-conscious and style-impaired, has reinvented itself as a destination for the young and upwardly mobile, with the Almyra perhaps its most fashionable property.
The new look leans heavily on dazzling whites and a soft sky blue—just a shade lighter than the Aegean blue that has become a trademark in Greek hotels—and the interiors are all clean lines and chic minimal furniture, at times more reminiscent of high-end retail design than the traditional island resort. This is certainly a good thing; dark wood headboards and platform beds quickly prove just as suited to the Mediterranean surroundings as floral bed covers and stucco walls ever were.
Beyond mere eye candy, though, the accommodations are more than functional, with such modern must-haves as wi-fi access and satellite television. Each room has, at the very least, a floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the garden, and the better ones come with terraces or balconies overlooking the sea.
The old Paphos Beach hotel pool has been reinvented, in chic black slate, and it's here and on the hotel's rooftop terraces that guests mingle and absorb the summer sun. At night, the poolside bar turns into a rather more serious restaurant, its chef a Nobu alumnus who brings a Japanese influence as well as a certain air of celebrity to the proceedings. It's all rather more than one could have expected from Cyprus just a few short years ago, and it's probably best experienced now, before the rest of the world catches on.
How to get there:
Almyra Hotel is approximately a 20 minute drive from Paphos International Airport (PFO). Please contact email@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

An absolutely gorgeous hotel in a perfect location. Very welcoming staff who can't do enough to help you. Rooms were fab...air-con was a god-send! Pool could have been colder! Breakfast was ok but the restaurant for lunch and dinner was excellent. All in all, a really lovely hotel - thoroughly recommended!

text: After having sat through various candiadte forums I changed my mind & voted for Ortega because I did not want to vote for any of the other candidates. Even though I do not appreciate how Ortega, Bird, & even the Mayor handled some of the issues that prompted so many candidates for Mayor, I came to the realization that Ortega was the only one being straight forward. Having said that I do hope that he has learned from Saturday's numbers. You are a stuborn candidate but don't be naive.
