Cerberus wants to Colonize mars in the name of HUMANITY!
, their own brothers and sisters HUMANS!
Cerberus boldly does what no faction on Earth has done yet, placing a colony on mars and landing the first humans
Here will be the first cannon RPG about Mars, a faction known as Cerberus has sent a fleet of ships to control 40% of the land on mars and set up colonies there.
There are forces who oppose them and there are those who support them.
Choose your side!
Meta Humans, Cyborgs what ever as long as you're human Cerberus will accept YOU!
will you support your brothers and sisters in distress and for the benefit of humanity
will you
support the heathen traitors that wish to stop them?
What you need to know
1. This is the OOC for the main thread will soon be put up (I'll edit the OP soon and add the link once it's made)
2. If you are supporting Cerberus you can have your character already on board the ships, but if you are against Cerberus you will have to find your own way to get to Mars
3. Cerberus Cannon Fodder range in this order of difficulty
High Threats Individually against teams of low tier heroes (Street or below)
Moderate Threats Individually against lone mid-tier heroes (City or below)
Low Threats Individually against lone high-tier heroes (anything above City)
4. Civilians will be present on the ships
5. Try to sell the security this isn't some huge army "yet" most of the people on board are colonists instead of soldiers
(Sorry for the cra***y OOC)
6. Anybody is allowed (Except Omnipotents lol!)
7. Think of the Cerberus cannon fodder as Mass Effect 3 assault troopers with very massive amps in weapon damage and armor durability.
8. This is an important part of Vine Universe history everybody should at least mention what they were doing at the time this event took place, after all this is a big deal!
9. You will be able to control NPC reporters to ask questions about Cerberus as the ships are on route
10. Other NPC'S other than Cerberus Assault Troopers will be present.

- Peace Keepers & Agent California? @agent_california
Events so far..... in TLDR; version
Post#1. Cerberus sends ships towards mars
Post#2. Pyro reacts and acts, end result ship one hundred is destroyed, five damaged, twenty with insignificant damage due to shields with standing most of the attack
Post#3. Ship 85 is now the spear head of the fleet and serves as the Security slash armed forces of Cerberus, Jen is present and so are other Cerberus allies.
Post#4. Premo made a fancy smancy speech and has declared war on Cerberus because "there actions threaten all of humanity", another being of great power besides Pyro is Starheart it came from earth and now is the thing that stands between the ships landing on Mars its most dangerous threat is a Super EMP.
Post#5. Dell finds humans colonizing Mars a threat to his plans and plans to troll the living hell out of Cerberus, he passes by them via advanced yet small space ship and lands on Mars to prepare his maximum trolling.
Post#6. A desperate plan is formed, after it has been told to her allies Jen heads out to engage Pyro
Post#7. With his powerful yet temporarily amp bestowed by Jen, Sawyer takes control of the fleet and does the unthinkable.
Post#8. Before things escalated out of control Cerberus ships picked up Ninjan Queen Zavanna Tempest who was in need of assistance, long story short she now decides to repay back the favor and more.
Post#9. Peace Keepers are preparing for something big.
Post#10. Sawyer moves the ships away from Starheart and towards Mars.
Post#11. Starheart tanks Madison's attack with ease and replies back with a combination of magnetic field manipulation and gravity manipulation, he charges forward it what seems to be a mass annihilation of Cerberus ships.
Post#12 Pyro gets knocked down and heavily wounded by Jen in one strike as she fell from orbit, however the gods were looking out for him and the God of Wrath came and not only healed Pyro but also told him to leave the battle field as he would take Pyro's place.
Post#13. Peace Keepers watch everything transpire after giving a warning.
Post#15. Jen insults a god
Post#16. Theron flies from earth to ship-eighty five to assit not only just Shadow but also Sawyer
Post#17. SH*T JUST GOT REAL!!!!
Post#18. Dell amps himself with his Techno powers and takes on Theron and Shadow at the same time like a boss
Post#19. Shadow gets knocked to the ground while Theron took a few smacks here and there before using his super speed while that happened Shadow got back up and prepared a kick that would supposedly hit Dell if Theron laid a punch to his back
Post#20. Mister Wrathy punted Jen to up high in one hit but she came back in multitudes, the reply back well....let's say was quite rude.
Post#21. Energy attacks made Mister Wrathy stronger and now he's gonna beat some ass
Post#22-23. Just Dell and the rascals rumbling around still
Post#25. Dell yet again is still fighting seems like though it's now one versus one instead of two versus one "If you understand what I mean"
Post#26. Jen gets ready to "rummmmmmble!"
Post#27. Alas what few ships that escaped the massacre land on Mars, Sawyer retreated back to Earth in New York with a teleportation deviced issued to all allies incase the mission was ever a failure, now what ever remains of the survivors fight down to the last man and woman with what ever there can wheter it be armed or unarmed.
Off-Pane: For reasons unknown the god left the battle leaving Jen free to help her allies or engage PK's, Star Heart had disappeared and so had Madison.
Dell teleported away from Mars.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Here's some student work from a class taught by Oded Ezer, involving translating Latin logos into Hebrew. (Has this been discussed here already?)
Unfortunately I don't read Hebrew, but this Hebrew version of the New York Times logo just won't leave my mind.
I've thought a lot about Hebrew Blackletter since reading some of Hrant Papazian's comments about it, and this is an interesting example, although I don't know enough to understand how good it is.
To put it lightly and not to hurt anyone involved, I would say this looks quite bad!
Not only does it look very amateurish and awkward - feels very forced and completely out of place, it's mostly quite illegible in an unappealing way.
Is this a serious practice or kind of tong-in-cheek joke? Cause your link doesn't work.
I bet with a little more research into Hebrew calligraphy and (maybe) more skill this could make much more sense.
I don't know Hebrew either, but this does not look like Hebrew at all. Generally, I find the idea of forcing a style of a specific script on another one very awkward and does harm more than good. Instead of translating the specific style, one needs to translate the feeling behind it, so for this example I'd choose some Hebrew style that give the impression of old, antiqued type (or whatever you think blackletter stands for).
I had thought that the miniscules of the Hebrew logo were a fairly good application of the style to the Hebrew character. But reproducing the Latin minuscule - majuscule structure in Hebrew is a mistake.
Thus, I would see a Hebrew blackletter as being in "all-caps", but with the characters much less ornate than the capitals of Latin blackletter, being much closer to the lower-case of the example given, but in a larger size.
Awkward or not, it is a funny exercise. Or: it could be. I remember examples of Cyrillic and Greek blackletter designs being discussed here.
I have no Hebrew expertise, but I think the main mistake is in the distribution of stress in the letterforms. For Latin vertical stress is essential. For Hebrew horizontal stress is essential. This has been neglected. – I'd like to see some Hebrew type master executing this!
Much ado about nothing.

Video & Quotes: Jordan Morgan breaks down two post offense at Big Ten Media Day Jordan Morgan was the third player in Michigans contingent in Chicago, Illinois on Thursday morning for Big Ten Media Day. Morgan discussed both the possibilities and potential issues with playing two posts and also shared his thoughts on the freshmen class. Watch Morgans interview in the media player below or find notes and quotes after the jump.On replacing Zack & Stus leadership: I dont know if its as much as trying to take over for Zack and Stu. Its more just realizing that we have to lead as a team. I think it has been a group effort from all of our veteran players. We have to push the young players to learn fast and to do better. So its been a collective effort to teach.On his individual goals for the season: Just to keep a good balance and composure level. Thats a big step for maturity. Especially now being in that veteran leadership role. Young guys will feed off of my energy, so just eliminate any negative energy that I can in my game.On staying out of foul trouble: I think I was better last year, Cheap Lebron Summit Lake Hornets definitely, but thats just more recognizing what Im doing and making a conscious effort.On having fellow big men on the court with him: I dont have to do all the banging down low. I definitely still have to do it, but not all of it. Im not the only one fighting for offensive rebounds, fighting for rebounds, itll also just give us a lot of versatility. Allowing us to experiment for things. They cant just focus
on boxing one guy out when we have two big bodies in thereOn the two post offense taking time to adjust: Weve made steps recently to try to figure it out. Its just a matter of seeing what we can do, different looks, how we can change some of the things we would normally do. What normally would have been a shooting four man is now a more Lebron 10 Shoes physical four man. So instead of maybe spacing, they might drop down below the rim for a drop off. Its just kind of playing with these pieces and thats on coach so hes great at working this offense. Hes always willing to adapt and theres definitely been an effort to move pieces around and experiment.On if things get crowded in the lane: It can get a little bit crowded but at the same time weve got bigs that are versatile and can maybe move out some. It balances out. Like I said, coach is still playing with these pieces just trying to see what fits C and he spends all day in his office doing just that.On two post defense: Somebody has to be able to guard the perimeter. Ive been working on it a lot. If youve got two bigs in there, somebody is gonna be pushed out there in perimeter, especially guarding ourselves (in practice) somebody is gonna be out there. We all do our defense reps and weve been working at it. Its just a matter of learning it and using experience to transition. Just because you move out there, you cant forget defending the post. Its just building on what we know.On freshmen learning to play Big
Ten defense: Definitely. Its hard. One of the hardest things is help defense. You have to know and have the confidence that if you help, somebody is going to help you. You dont always see that from freshmen Lebron 9 Low so its one of the things that weve been pushing on them Theyve gotten better at that in just a few weeks in practice so theyll only keep going from here.On crashing the glass: Weve always sent our four and our five to the glass.Its just a matter of .. you might not have been able to see our four man within all those trees. Weve always had our guards getting back and our forwards getting to the glass. Now its just a matter of a 6-foot-4 forward versus a 6-foot-8, 6-foot-9, 6-foot-10 forward. It makes a big difference. Hopefully we can get more offensive rebounds and we should but in no way are we giving up defensive transition.On lineups: Thats what [preseason games] are for. I really couldnt say how close we are. Its coachs decision.Hes changing things every day. Putting different teams together, here let me see this team, hes looking at everybody playing every position. I cant even imagine how many ideas they have. When we are in class and stuff they are in there just talking about it all day.On Caris LeVert: Really really humble kid. He works really hard and he can play man. He kind of flew under the radar because he had a late growth spurt but hes put a lot of weight on and hes going to continue to do that under Jon Sanderson. I mean I think definitely in years to come
hell be a big time player in this conference because he has such a desire to get better. Just the amount of time he spends in that gym is not many people really spend that much time.On Nik Stauskass shooting ability: He just really wants to shoot. Hes a knock down shooter, he wants his shot and if youve got that hand down, its a problem. We need players like that especially with the penetration skills and the post skills that we have out there.On his role with another big man: I think defensively I have to be our anchor. I take that as my job and like I said Ill be put in positions where I might be guarding the post or I might be guarding the perimeter but at the end of the day I have to push our team to be solid defensively.On playing differently in third season: Weve always practiced guarding the perimeter because bigs will get switched out there. But now its the amount of time Ill be spend out there is a lot more. Instead of getting switched out there Im stuck out there. So theres actions that I have to guard that I might not have had to before. Its definitely a different experience being out there permanently . If Im out there, Im really out there instead of trying to find someone to Blake Griffin Shoes switch back.On Glenn Robinson IIIs natural position: Hes a forward obviously and our threes and our fours are interchangeable. Hes a three man but he can play the four just because they are interchangeable. If we want to go a smaller lineup, then he can be our four
man. xupinpin20121114

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
Alima Hotakie | 08 Mar 2014 13:45 GMT | Sport, US & Canada, Canada
When Nazem Kadri was growing up in Canada, there were no Muslim or Middle-Eastern players in the NHL.
Today, this Toronto Maple Leafs forwards is one of those few.
Born to Lebanese parents, Nazem was named after his grandfather who settled in Canada with his wife and seven children in the late 1960s, escaping the upheaval and uncertainty back home.
He admits his lack of fondness for the tag, but the inspiration from the impact he's had on a new generation of minorities balances things off.
"If you can be a guide to these kids, show them the right path and help them not get in trouble, it's a huge achievement," Nazem told Al Jazeera at the Mastercard Centre in Toronto.
My father is living his dream through me a bit. He wished he had the opportunities to go on and do some of the things that I have
Nazem Kadri, Maple Leafs forward
His father, Samir Kadri, believes his son's rise to stardom was his destiny.
Samir was driving to the hospital where his wife had just gone into labour when he heard Tom Cochrane's song 'Big League' on the radio. As a passionate hockey fan, Samir knew there was a deeper meaning to that timing.
"The song talked about my kid going to play in the big league. It was a sign."
Nazem lived up to the hopes from an early age. His father built an ice rink in the backyard and Nazem took to ice like ducks take to water. Aged four, he was already skating and playing hockey with six-year olds with extra help from his father who made him a year older on paper given the minimum-age criteria. Nazem's dedication helped too.
Reminiscing about that past, his father admits Nazem's success was an extension of his own desires and dreams he was not able to pursue, a thought his son has realised.
"My father is living his dream through me a bit. He wished he had the opportunities to go on and do some of the things that I have. But he couldn't for various reasons – family, finances and his background."
Picked up early
As Nazem worked his magic, it didn't take long for agents to take notice as he quickly rose up the ranks playing Triple-A hockey in the province. He grew up as Montreal Canadiens fans. His father would take him to the games in Toronto and they would cheer on their beloved Habs. But it the team's arch rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, which would draft him into the NHL.
Nazem was never short of confidence and knew he was destined to make it big. Once, as his father recalls, Nazem refused to do his homework and as the teacher asked the reason, he replied that he did not have to because he'll play in the NHL one day.
Unlike most stories of minorities trying to enter a predominantly-white sport, the 23-year old understands his experience was rather pleasant and lies in stark contrast with the more hostile environment his father and grandfather lived in. Samir concurs but he knows that the problem has not been eradicated.
Three years ago, a fan threw a banana at Philadelphia Flyers Wayne Simmonds in Nazem's hometown during an exhibition game. The incident sent shockwaves throughout the country, reminding onlookers that racism was alive and kicking. But Samir acknowledges the sport's role in uniting the nation.
I was told that when immigrants arrive, sport at the new destination is very important in assimilating with the rest of their peers
Naveed Bahadur, social work
"If you mention hockey, whether it's in business or elsewhere, it automatically breaks you into the crowd."
Using a country's national sport to help newcomers integrate is not a bad idea. Naveed Bahadur, a social worker, helps run the ball hockey league for kids in a Toronto neighbourhood and is a strong proponent of using sports to integrate.
"I was told that when immigrants arrive, sport of that country is very important in assimilating with the rest of their peers," Bahadur said.
That's one reason his organisation has created an ice rink in a nearby field. Bahadur hopes it will build stronger bonds between the different ethnic groups and apart from engaging kids to participate in the national sport, it'll also teach them about teamwork, responsibility and a sense of community.
But the inability to see value in sports among some minority groups, including Muslims, is still a reminder of why progress has rather been slow when it comes to hockey.
"It's not like they're against it," added Bahadur. "Unlike other communities, they don't realise sport is important for children's development. It keeps their brains active, develops teamwork and these things are very important."
While these walls will not disappear anytime soon, changes are already being witnessed on many levels.
Nazem's father taught the young player about successful athletes like Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Hakim Olajuwon when he was growing up.
"What's cool is that someone could be having this conversation and be talking about Nazem one day," Samir said.
While Nazem may not grasp the full extent of his influence just yet, he is certainly a catalyst to the very transformation he is witnessing.

Globalisation has rendered us increasingly inter-dependent with massive opportunities and also risks/challenges as a result. Driven by technological advances from transport, to communications, and electronic networks, globalisation has delivered important advancements in terms of movement and exchange of people, ideas, values, resources, commodities and finance.
Italy, in my humble opinion, is one of the most glorious countries in the world. Florence and its rich artistic history. The winding streets and hidden underground wonders of Naples. Cinque Terre and all its coloured, seaside glory. The iconic rolling hills and olive groves of Tuscany. Venice, a mystic floating playground. Stepping back in time in Sicily. Rome, just Rome.
Tonight at the European Parliament there will be a vote on whether Miguel Arias Canete, nicknamed "Senor Petrolhead" by the Sunday Times, will be accepted as the new EU commissioner for Climate and Energy. To cut a long story short, Canete has long embedded family ties with the oil industry so if common sense were to prevail, he would not be appointed.
One of the many joys of being a trainee in the European Commission is being able to socialise in the international melting pot of the European bubble, to gluttonously gorge on a feast of cultures and languages, to take the notion of 'nationality' and throw it off like a duvet on a sweaty summer night such as we have rarely experienced in the UK...
Stromae is a European megastar. And I'm not talking alternative big, I mean BIG big. Born in Brussels to a Belgian mother and a Rwandan father, Paul van Haver/Stromae first wowed everyone back in 2010 with his world-wide hit 'Alors on Danse' ('And So We Dance'). He released his second album, Racine Carrée (Square Root), last year.
Whichever way it goes, I will be challenging myself to remain steady in an idea of global Britishness. I won't be accepting the Scottish nationalists' invitation to think of myself as reduced and obliged to come to terms with my Englishness, but will be working to enhance strong, ongoing narratives about a Britain that embraces and integrates.

Cloud Services
The General Services Administration met its self-imposed deadline to begin certifying companies under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, or FedRAMP, NextGov reports.
The first security certification for cloud services went to Autonomic Resources, a small business in North Carolina.
FedRAMP's purpose is to pre-approve cloud products and services for security so that agencies purchasing such offerings won't have to evaluate security case by case.

Growth And Dispersion Of Accountable Care Organizations In 2015
March 31st, 2015
Beginning this January, an additional 89 provider organizations joined the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) as accountable care organizations (ACOs). While this year's new entrants are a smaller cohort than those that joined in 2013 and 2014, they represent a continuation of the expansion of the accountable care movement. The recent Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announcement of its goal to move fifty percent of Medicare payments to alternative payment models (including ACO-based arrangements) indicates the government's strong backing of the model and, coupled with continuing endorsement of the approach from state Medicaid programs and commercial insurers, there is strong support for this care delivery approach to continue.
In an ACO, health care providers accept responsibility for the cost and quality of care for a defined population. Each ACO's laudable goal is to achieve what Don Berwick has called the "triple aim" — to improve quality, increase patient satisfaction, and lower costs. The key to reaching those goals is to change how providers are paid, based on reaching certain cost and quality benchmarks. In effect, the objective is to change incentives so that it is in providers' best interest to maximize health, rather than focus on increasing the volume of services rendered.Read the rest of this entry »

The Deal
- $18 for $35 worth of Peruvian Chifa food and drink
- See the full menu.
Pisco Sour Piolyn Jr.
Juicy red peppers, bright green spinach- and basil-flecked pasta, and golden-brown fried fish all come together atop plates at Pisco Sour Piolyn Jr. to create eye-catching Peruvian specialities with a Chinese twist. Chifa cuisine infuses traditional Chinese dishes with the flavors of Peru, which is extremely popular in Lima. The lengthy menu delivers everything from fresh fish ceviche and churrasco-style rib-eye steak to traditional tacu tacu—a breaded and fried mixture of beans, rice, and your choice of meat or shrimp. To wash down their South American eats, customers can choose from a list of Peruvian wines or stay domestic with a beer or swig of water from the local reservoir. But for those wanting to fully embrace the Peruvian dining experience, a pisco sour is the only way to go. Made from pisco, the traditional Peruvian brandy, and a mix of lemon juice and sugar, the drink is a refreshing way to cap off the meal.
74% of 151 customers recommend
"pisco sour was an excellent drink...fried rice dishes were very good...portions were quite generous."
"Super friendly, food tasty, generous portions."
"Come prepared to enjoy the lively music and spicy ceviche. This gringa had a great time."

First off, let me just say that this is the first Jo Malone fragrance that I've owned and let me tell you that to me...it smells absolutely beautiful in its simplicity. Sometimes I like a strong, complicated, punch-in-the-face EDT (e.g., anything by Tom Ford), but there's something about "Wild Fig & Cassis" that just made me close my eyes when I first caught a whiff of it, and immediately transported me outdoors.

Fizzy green fig Perfume-baby-nose here: I've tried Diptyque and Heeley fig offerings, and both turned my stomach with this heavy fruit. One day I might be able to swing it but not yet. Until then there's Wild Fig & Cassis - a lighter, fizzier, greener fig. Kinda dig it.

This is faithful to the fig part, but I cannot help but detect an ashiness that I didn't agree with. Better combined with another Jo Malone like Pomegranate Noir.

A perfectly good scent that suffers in my rating because i love the fig scents and there are better out there and also the longevity of this one is poor on me. It stays very close to my skin and is gone in three hours. I enjoy the grassy green fig note and can smell a similar figginess to that of Philosykos, in that I feel I can smell the sap in the twin. Don't really get the cassis at all. Jo Malone's stuff is always clean and fresh, but on this occasion it just comes up a little short.

The fig is truly convincing and rich, with a green fruitiness developing in the drydown. It remains uncomplicated but beautiful in its simplicity. Good silage and projection, with a superb longevity of over seven hours. The best fig scent I can recall for a long time.
25th December, 2012

One of the most realistic fig based fragrances out there. A grassy fig prominent fragrance with a musky and cedary dry down and a feminine soul made of delicate flowers of the fields and patchouli. The fig is anyway absolutely dominant with a touch of earthiness and with its lacteous, slightly sticky (pine resins) and lymphatic taste (although not with the fig's full edible mellifluence and surupy consistence) as well as in Philosykos Dyptique and Figuier Heeley (which is slightly lemony, fizzy and boozy anyway) and i don't smell so many other olfactory contaminations as happens in other (not properly straightforward) fig fragrances as Ninfeo Mio, airy and ethereal with a touch of incense , Premier Figuier L'Artisan Parfumeur with its almond and coconut's milk and as Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Homme. The scent itself is natural and evocative but too stuck, un complex and botanic for my full pleasure. I don't smell in particular cassis or cherry while the final musk and some woodsy resins are notable. The projection and the lasting power are in the average.

About this location
The Andalucia region
The Almanzora region of the Costa Almeria is reputedly the sunniest and driest area of Spain. It has considerable places of interest and some unusual scenery both on the coast and inland. Mojacar old town is only a few minutes away and is a Moorish town on a hill, the Cabo de Gata parc naturel' provides great limestone and volcanic coastal scenery and starts only 2 miles south of the complex ;sandy beaches in mojacar are superb but there are also secluded coves to the south. The inland but nearby mountains are beautiful with many typical and unspoiled Andalucian villages as weell as limestone caves and the Spaghetti western location for clint eastwood movies at Mini hollywood (also a zoo there). Almeria , Cartagena and Granada (Alhambra) are all feasible as day trips.
Mojacar Old town is worth a visit. The Playa has an abundance of pleasant bars and good restaurants. There are the usual beach facilities and activities all within walking distance but the beach is rarely overcrowded. There are a few discos , beach bars and night clubs but these are at least 2 miles along the seafront from the apartment, which is at the quiet end of the resort. There is an aquapark and go kart track within 25 minutes by car. And ten pin bowling close by. Golf courses at Macenas (5mins), Marina (10 Mins) and the more challenging Desert springs or Valle del Este (both 25 mins). The Moors and Christians festival is a highlight of summer and is usually over the 2nd weekend of June in the Old Town. There is a regular bus service from near the apartment.

Surprised directions only got a rating of3 but will look to further improve. The kitchen utensils have been upgraded and added to. The issues with theTV reception are currently beyond our control as BBC and ITV have adopted a new space satellite and a much larger dish is allegedly needed to achieve good reception. This should be addressed by the summer and then all terrestrial channels will again be available. Thank you for comments and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and may well return.

2011 British Enduro Championship - Round 1
A Motocross video by thisisamped - 23,938 views
Highlights from the MuntJac Enduro. Round 1 of the 2011 ACU Metzeler British Enduro Championship.
David Knight started the defence of his British Enduro title in perfect style with a faultless ride, dominating the event from start to finish.
Alex Rockwell came in 2nd, with Paul Edmondson completing the podium.
Amped's Simon Wakely came in a solid 5th and was unfortunate not to get on the podium, with only David Knight recording faster times overall in the special tests. Unfortunately due to his lowly start position of 20th, he would catch slower riders and waste time passing them resulting in 2 minute time penalties, which dropped him down to 5th.
Chris Dustow was also tackling his first event in the Championship class, coming home a respectable 22nd in what he knew was going to be a tough opening round.

Is my blueberry bush growing wacky?
Hi! First time posting here. I bought a blueberry plant from Lowes last year and it's been doing really well. I put coffee grounds and alfalfa in there. This year I got a good amount of fruit.
Recently my blueberry had been growing foliage again but only off to one side. It gets a full days worth of morning sun. Thinking it was the lighting I rotated the pot, but it hasn't changed the growth.
It's also straggly looking? The canes are so long and tall I had to support it with sticks. Does this look normal? Should I prune it? If so, where? Is the pot too small?
p.s. Ignore my sad little dying tomato.
I'd prune off about half the top. Take off that small stuff down low and cut back as much as needed of the big stuff on top. Take out the crossing branches and make it more compact. Then pinch back the regrowth to keep the top somewhat compact and balanced.
If you apply plenty of alfalfa it will regrow all you cut off and more. The new growth will bear plenty of fruit next year. In fact if it grows well this summer you'll probably need to shorten or remove part of the small shoots early next spring when it starts blooming. The purpose of the spring pruning is to produce larger, sweeter fruit and avoid over bearing.

Report: NFL admits refs missed call that may have cost Seahawks game against Chiefs
NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino told Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll that officials last Sunday missed a penalty that could have made the difference in Seattle's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Golden Tate on Seahawks: 'Their problem – now they don't have me or Percy' Harvin
Former Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate, who signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions this offseason after calling Seattle's offer "laughable," had an explanation for the Hawks' offensive troubles this season. "Their problem," Tate told MLive.com last week, is "now they don't have me or Percy (Harvin)." In his fourth season with Seattle, […] [Read More]
Seahawks' Doug Baldwin on touchdown miss: 'I was pushed. It was obvious'
Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin thinks he was interfered with while trying to go for a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson late in the fourth quarter Sunday.

Nine opening-day starters miss Seahawks practice
As expected, the Seattle Seahawks will likely add some a few players to their lineup Sunday when they host the New York Giants, but there are also question marks surrounding several starters as the team prepares for its second-straight home date.

Seattle standouts: Seahawks escape Carolina with the win
All the Seahawks needed Sunday to avoid losing three-straight games was one successful drive. They finally were able to put one together at the very end.

Doug Baldwin on Seahawks panic: Everbody calm down
The widespread reaction to Seattle's Percy Harvin trade, layered with the Seahawks' two consecutive losses, has been almost comical.

The Seahawks outgained the Rams by 191 yards of offense Sunday, but that didn't mean they were able to escape St. Louis with a win.

Cloud Computing
Four cloud service solutions thus far have achieved provisional authorization under additional security controls required by the Defense Department: Autonomic Resources Cloud Platform (ARC-P), CGI Federal's IaaS solution and Amazon Web Services' Government Community Cloud and East/West US Public Cloud.
What that means is that each of the four solutions has been assessed against additional security controls on top of baseline standards they met under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), allowing them to compete DOD-wide for cloud computing contracts under the Defense Information Systems Agency's Enterprise Cloud Service Broker catalog.
However, these CSPs have been authorized only at DOD Impact Levels 1 and 2, which cover the department's unclassified public and unclassified private information. DISA assigns impact levels to data depending on its type and confidentiality, integrity and availability in categorizations of low-, moderate-, or high-risk under the Federal Information Process Standard Publication (FIPS) 199.
Much ado about milCloud
Autonomic gets DOD FedRAMP OK
DOD's cautious path to the cloud
DOD expects to add nine commercial cloud providers
DISA piloting DOD cloud security model
The bulk of DOD's expected cloud savings is expected to occur at Impact Levels 3-5, which signify higher-risk unclassified data, but CSPs have yet to be assessed against these standards.
In an e-mailed statement, DISA Chief Technology Officer David Mihelcic said he anticipates formal assessments at impact levels 3-5 to begin in the second quarter of 2014. Impact Level 6 is designated for classified information only, and draft standards for commercial CSPs to meet have not been formally released yet for that level.
Requirements and criteria for levels 3-5 were made available to industry in December 2013, Mihelcic said. Sources tell FCW one reason for the delay between standards release and potential assessments is that templates drafted by DISA for CSPs to create their Systems Security Plans (SSPs) were held up.
"The CSPs are left basically waiting for the form," the source said.
DOD's cautious path to the cloud is a point of contention among many commercial cloud providers that view such slow efforts as contrary to the Obama administration's Cloud First policy, but some positive signs have come from Pentagon CIO Teri Takai. She recently told the House Armed Services subcommittee that nine CSPs are in the pipeline to provide services to DOD.

Canna's getting bigger, diseased?
The canna's I posted about a while ago now have their 4th or 5th leaves just beginning to form. Here are photos of the leaves from the 4 potted plants. The newer leaves all look better than the 1st, but they are not compelely free of spots and stripes. Even the new leaves that are not uncurled still have markings on them. I am thinking this is not good. :c(
This one is by far the worst looking plant, but some of the damage might be due to cool nights, not frost though. Bottom leaves are wrinkled, edges are brown, and spots and stripes. Not many leaves out on this one actually:
This one is the biggest. The fully open leaf did not have those dots when it first came out. I was hopeful when it opened as it only had one stripe on it. If you look carefully on the uncurling leaf, hard to see in photo, it has stripes on it at the edge:
Closeup of another plant and you can see it has the dots. This is the 3 or 4th leaf:
A few more shots:
Should I be concerned now? If so, should I chuck them and should I chuck the soil and pot too?
Thanks! I don't have good feelings about these plants. :c(
it's not looking good to me now.
I'm wondering if the exposure to the cold nights was enough to trigger the virus.
Here's a website that might help
Hi Green thumb guy,
I am thinking it is time to chuck them. :c( I was really looking forward to having them too, but after this experience I think I am not going to try to replace them.
I brought the plants in each night if it got cold out. One night I returned home late and it was already down to the mid 40's, but I got them in. I can't see how the temperature would cause the virus, unless temps down to 50 could cause the plant to mimick the sypmtoms.
Ken. :C(
Perhaps I didn't say it correctly, but I was wondering if the stress of the cooler temps would allow for the activation of the virus and the signs to show. Sort of like a cold sore.
I would chuck it now.
I gave up buying bulk tubers this year. Many growers are accepting of the virus do not want to throw a way sick stock.
I have 2 varieties to rely on now.
When to a local nursery on Friday and I got excited when I saw a bunch of Canna's in the distance. When I got up to them they all looked as bad as mine. They has about 40 there too! I guess I will not be buying and Canna's from anywhere. I am thinking that sooner or later, even if I get a good bunch, some insect will infect them. :c(
I hate to see you give up on cannas.
Firstly, not all cannas are virused.
And secondly, if you treat them early with a long term systemic (I use easy-to-use Bayer tree and shrub liquid), your cannas will stay gorgeous all season long.
I am so distressed to hear the news of canna virus. I have a large area just for cannas, and it looks as if they are all infected. Cannas are such beautiful plants for a large area, both for foliage and for the blooms. What a disaster! I don't know what else I can use that will be as satisfactory for that area.
Once cannas were the poor man's landscape pride. Do you think the new strains are one reason for the virus?
Reading this whole thread over again now, it sounds I recommended Bayer's for virus. The recommendation was for bugs, but systemic will not help with virus.
There are clean cannas. I keep hearing there are no cannas not diseased, but that is not true.
I have some green colored cannas and dark colored cannas in a big pot with each other. The green ones all look infected but the dark ones look healthy. If I dig up the green ones now do you think my dark colored cannas will be safe from the virus or do you think its too late.
Good luck!

A False Sense of Well Being (eBook)
A False Sense of Well Being (eBook)
"I was married eleven years before I started imagining how different life could be if my husband were dead. . . ."
At thirty-eight, Jessie Maddox subscribes to House Beautiful, Southern Living, even Psychology Today. She has a comfortable life in Glenville, Georgia, with Turner, the most reliable, responsible husband in the world. But after the storybook romance, "happily ever after" never came. Now the housewife who once wanted to be Martha Stewart before there was a Martha Stewart is left to wonder: Where did the marriage go wrong? Why can't she stop picturing herself as the perfect grieving widow?
As Jessie dives headlong into her midlife crisis, she is aided and abetted by a colorful cast of characters in the true Southern tradition: her best friend and next door neighbor Donna, who is having a wild adulterous affair with a younger man; Wanda McNab, the sweater-knitting, cookie-baking grandmother who is charged with killing her abusive husband. Then there's Jessie's eccentric family. Her younger sister Ellen, born to be a guest on Jerry Springer, has taken her seven-year-old son and squawking pet birds and left her husband "for good this time" . . . while their mother crosses the dirty words out of library books and alerts everyone to the wonderful bargains at Winn-Dixie, often at the same time. And then there's the stuffed green headless duck . . .
When a trip home to the small town of her childhood raises more questions than it answers, Jessie is forced to face the startling truth head-on–and confront the tragedy that has shadowed her heart and shaken her faith in love . . . and the future.
From a brilliant new voice in fiction, here is a darkly comic novel full of revelation and insight. The danger of secrets and the power of confession . . . The pull of family, no matter how crazy. . . The fate of wedlock when one can't find the key . . . Jeanne Braselton weaves these potent themes into a funny, poignant, utterly engaging story of a woman at the crossroads–and the unforgettable journey she must take to get back home.
From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Jeanne Braselton was born and raised in Georgia. She is the adopted daughter of a poet who was designated chief of the Cherokee Nation. While working as a journalist for the Rome News Tribune, she won numerous Georgia Press Association awards. A False Sense of Well-Being is her first novel.
Praise for A False Sense of Well Being…
"This may be the best first novel I've ever read."
"With characters who touch the heart and dialogue that rings true, Braselton does a masterful job of telling Jessie's story in this warm, moving, and remarkably accomplished first novel."
