Why do we have to endure all the bother of changing clock time twice a year?
Much has been written about the vibrant future for Weymouth envisaged in the Town Centre Masterplan. However, a worrying aspect of it is the considerable reduction in the amount of public car parking that appears to result from these proposals.
It hasn't escaped my attention whilst walking through Weymouth, that some of the vacant retail premises are showing signs of rejuvenation, in fact they are coming alive and more than that, not by 'another one in the chain' that seem to make clones of many shopping street, but by independent folk.
You may know. The 2015 speedway season is starting soon, once again we are still waiting for our Weymouth Wildcats to make a return. We the speedway fans are still getting kick in the teeth.
So W&PBC have rejected an application for a touring caravan site on the old market site at the top of Portland. Councillor Sandy West is quoted as saying "We do welcome caravans on Portland" Oh really??
Perhaps we are seeing the start of the end of grey squirrels across Dorset.
"This is a development driven by commercial gain rather, than community benefit" (7th March. The Mapperton solar farm). Well, it has never been about community benefit. What it is always about, is profit.
Regrettably it appears to me that small scale fly tipping and litter are both on the increase in the Borough of Weymouth and Portland.
"OAPs need dignity in retirement," states Richard Drax MP in his Echo column 27/2/15.
I travelled to Portsmouth the other day and could not help but notice how much litter adorns the roadside from my journey in Weymouth all the way through Dorset.
HOW much space do businesses in town need? Our town is becoming a maze to get through with A-boards and seating areas clogging up the pavements.
Like Harry Redknapp I've had to get both my knees sorted. I want to thank the team at Dorset County Hospital who put my left knee back together recently.
I am amused to note that artists' impressions of newly-erected houses or apartments often show a young couple either sharing a glass of wine, or holding hands as they gaze up at their new home.
In the good old days when our refuse was collected we had one little laddie who always came along in whatever weather, never missing anything, never spilling anything, and our refuse disappeared to be recycled or whatever.
I have been reminded recently of how, over time, one becomes accustomed to compromised standards. It is a form of complacency, I suppose, prompted by some premature acceptance that one can do little about it and a concern that righteous and valid criticism becomes whingeing.
THERE have in the past few weeks been articles about the delay in completing the develo-pment of Charles Street and more recently reference to the archaeological investigation of the site.
I agree with Christine James regarding social housing. I think the responsibility lies with the housing company. Their tenants should keep their properties in reasonable order. Perhaps Mrs James could suggest they do some kind of inspection especially of the gardens.
I have recently undergone radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer at Poole Hospital.
AS A Labour Party supporter of 45 years plus, I never thought I would agree with Richard Drax (Echo, Friday Jan 30): The proposed changes in the voting system are wrong.
The other day, I heard an announcement that more Special Constables are to be recruited for the Dorset area. Probably a good idea, considering that police officers are usually thin on the ground these days.
I WOULD like to say a big thank you to all the staff at DCH.
Public First Group of West Dorset's non-party-political Campaign for Local Democracy is staging two new meetings, which I hope to chair, after our first in Dorchester on January 7 drew a 270-person turnout.
It is no exaggeration to say that virtually everything that has happened in the UK during the past few years is a direct consequence of joining the EU in the 1970s. It's also mainly due to Gordon Brown putting his signature to the Treaty of Lisbon.
I REFER to some information on the from the Dorset for You website.
Thank you Echo for your good-news story on the unemployment rate: one of the lowest in the UK [26 March]. There are lots of positives here.
As Chairman of the West Dorset Conservative Association I would like to express the sadness felt in the Association at the news that Jim Spicer has passed away.
In your article, ˜Campaign To Save Our Local Fishing Stocks, you point out that the Greenpeace event that came to Weymouth is visiting harbours like ours right around the coast, hoping to ensure our government acts on new European fishing quota legislation.
Because I'd not heard or seen anything about the bespectacled "Ian Bruce" for some time, I thought perhaps that he was no longer with us. However, his letter in the 10th of March Echo, demonstrates I was wrong.
Elections always seem to bring out the negativity in politicians, one never hears a, "Well done" to an opponent, why is that?
I CAN only assume that your headline, 'It's Good to Talk' is Robert Gould's idea of a sick joke having led West Dorset District Council for some years with a lack of communication with his electorate defying polite description. Now, as leader of Dorset County Council, he has decided to employ an expert to advise him.
In an attempt to defend his threat to repeal the Hunting Act, David Cameron refers to " a rural way of life which a born and bred Londoner might struggle to understand".
Can I agree with Cllr Blackwood Echo March 2nd) that it is important for everyone to vote and that different political parties can make a difference. I am however somewhat surprised that he wishes to claim credit for the Labour Party's www.visionforweyport.com for the Town Centre Master Plan. The Master Plan was originally progressed by the all party Budget Working Group consisting of Mike Goodman, Peter Chapman, Kate Weller, Geoff Petherick and Ian Roebuck. The Labour Party becoming the largest party if anything slowed down the progress.
Oliver Letwin (Sat 21st Feb) likes to tell us that the economy is improving. That's what the official statistics say, but they can be misleading. Take the employment figures for example. You are counted as employed if you work one hour a week or 80, whether you earn enough to live on or whether you need to visit food banks or receive benefits in order to live. In these days of increasing use of zero hours contracts what exactly do the employment statistics mean?
David Cameron's recent promise to pensioners to keep their present benefits, including their bus passes, for the duration of the next Parliament is more evidence that residents in constituencies like South Dorset are really not on his radar.
We have difficulty at Wyke getting to see our doctors and nurses at the health centre.
I have lived in Portland for a number of years now and have never found out what we get in return for paying the island precept over and above what we get for the council tax.
I NOTE from your headline that the Dorset Waste Partnership is almost £3million over budget. Why am I not surprised?
THIS council never ceases to amaze me. Look at the mess with Condor Ferries. Why didn't they suggest a wider ramp when the harbour repairs were being done, so they could accommodate larger ferries? What happened to all the money Condor paid in harbour dues? Why wasn't this ringfenced? I do know what I'm talking about, as I was the council leader of Torbay and I brought Condor 9 into Torbay to operate for more than two years.
AS A Labour Party supporter of 45 years plus, I never thought I would agree with Richard Drax (Echo, Friday Jan 30): The proposed changes in the voting system are wrong.
Poor old Dorchester. They could only wish for the lovely harbour and beach that Weymouth has got. The guide to Dorchester is a blunder of mega proportions. They should have put the new council offices on there to remind us taxpayers what a waste the council is.
The application for relocation of the pineapples goes before the West Dorset Planning Committee on February 12.
Cars that are parked irresponsibly on pavements can cause a potentially dangerous obstruction for pedestrians as it can force them on to the road and into the path of vehicles.
THERE have in the past few weeks been articles about the delay in completing the develo-pment of Charles Street and more recently reference to the archaeological investigation of the site.
Do our local Dorset fishing boats matter? What on earth are the government thinking of when they support EU factory fishing over sustainable local fisherfolk?
With 100 days to go until the election average polling shows Tory plus UKIP account for over half the votes in England.
I WOULD like to say a very big thank you, to the very kind and honest gentleman who, when I was visiting the cinema on January 27, noticed I had left my keys in my car door.
Everyone at Beating Bowel Cancer would like to thank all those in the local area who took part in our Decembeard fundraising campaign last month.
The Dorset Waste Partnership is looking to save money and is considering closing some of the eleven household recycling sites in Dorset.

I was at my lunch break from work (where I was employed at the time ) , and I was in a busy section next to the El Torito and Nordstrom Rack so people were walking by . A car pulls up in front of me the guy (looked mid twenties) said "Hey how are you ?" I responded "okay thanks " and started to walk away . He was looking at my body up and down as I walked away and said "Hey please don't go while smirking at me " .
Being stared at, catcalled, greeted by a random male stranger is a regular occurrence as I walk through the streets and parks of the small city where I work. The two most particular comments that I hear are that 1) I have pretty eyes and that 2) I should smile. I quickly realized that the best strategy is to carry my Iphone in my hand and stick in my earbuds. Even if I'm not actually listening to music I can pretend that I don't hear anything.
However, two recent incidents still upset me when I think about them. The first: I left my house to walk the short distance to the bus stop. Between my home and the bus stop is a convenience store; outside of which was a man standing by his motorcycle who I could tell was waiting for me to walk past. How could I tell? Because he had just pulled up to the store as I stepped into the street and instead of going in he stayed outside and stared at me as I walked toward the store, making what takes less than 30 seconds feel like an interminable length of time. As I walked past attempting to ignore him because I already felt uncomfortable, he spoke, so I spoke and kept going. Here's where things get scary. I got to the bus stop and a split second later the man drove past, turned around, and pulled up to me on his motorcycle. This man followed me to tell me that when I speak to people that I should smile! My first reaction was anger until I realized that he was so close that if he had wanted to hit me I couldn't have avoided it because I was stuck between him and the edge of the road, which fell away into bushes and brambles. I quickly edged away, told him to have a nice day, put in my trusty earbuds and ignored him until he drove away. And this was not the first or last time a man that I did not know pulled up to me on a motorcycle at that bus stop way too close for comfort.
The other incident makes me seethe because, although not scary, I was with my son at the time and the impotent feeling of having a strange man touch me, suddenly grip my arm in front of my boy and I wonder how that affected him to see my anger and frustration and shock and I wonder if he was scared or angry. I have never talked to him about it. I just swept it away so that we could continue to enjoy our day. Also, because my child was with me, not being able to respond the way that I would have if I had been alone or with another adult, foul-mouthed and possibly committing an assault of my own on this man. The fact that I still occasionally see this wastrel as I walk through the city and remember his incredulous response when I yelled at him not to touch me, as if he had the right, that it was okay because he didn't mean it in a negative way. How dare he?! HOW DARE HE?!

I was walking up a semi-suburban/retail area, in the early evening, on my way to meet my parents for a dinner out. I was just dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt and passed by a group of men hanging out in front of an apartment complex. I walked by, hood up, and one of them said, "Hey miss, how you doin'?" When I didn't respond, he followed up with, "Alright then, have a nice night." I heard the rest of his group laugh. I don't know if it's something that I should have been afraid of, but I was, and I can never get anyone to understand why I was afraid – they always say, "But he didn't do anything, and he didn't try to touch you!" But I didn't know that. I don't want to engage in a conversation with a group of men as I'm walking to dinner – I just wanted to go to dinner. I walked fast the rest of the way because I didn't know if I was being followed, and I didn't want to turn around in case that only caused things to escalate.
I have only lived in San Diego for 6 months and I have already had some experiences that have made me very uncomfortable to walk home from work in my "safe" neighborhood. I'll start with the least disturbing occurrence and go on from there. I was on my work, sitting outside of Starbucks with my nametag on. A man said "You should smile, Hailey." I think it was just because I was sitting alone minding my own business. Another time I was walking past this Starbucks when I followed the gaze of two men (one young, one old) as they checked me out from behind. The older man asked "what ethnicity are you?" to which, I didn't respond and continued to walk, upsetting them. They became upset.
Here is where things get really messed up.
It was a hot night and I was wearing a short, yet long sleeved dress. My boyfriend and I were walking home when we had come to a stop to wait for the light to turn so we could cross the road. A suspicious looking man was waiting for a different light. He had a large jacket on, glasses, a backpack, and his hands in his pockets. Once he saw us, he immediately started laughing and moved to our side of the street. My boyfriend and I decided not to risk waiting with this man, so we turned around and began walking quickly in the opposite direction. We started running full speed when the man yelled "That's right you keep running!"
Another occasion, I was on my lunch break again. I was walking past the grocery store when a man with a long beard approached me and asked if I would have sex with him. I looked him in the face (as you should do with suspicious characters) and continued to walk. He began screaming hysterically "of course you don't want to have sex with me!, why would you want to have sex with me!? Come on!!!" To which I looked back and responded by telling him to fuck off. Maybe not the smartest move but, this was a busy shopping center in the day time. I immediately called the police and let the ladies at work know what he looked like. The police said they could do nothing unless he actually physically assaulted me.
This is possibly one of the creepiest things I have ever experienced. A man comes into the store where I work quite often, we will call him Jeff. He appears to be a man in his 40's. I am a petite 18 year old that looks more like I could be 16. One night just before close, Jeff comes in and mentions that he had just seen me at a specific grocery store. I thought that was very odd because I hadn't been there for around 3 weeks. I thought he might work there because I do shop there on my breaks and the employees talk to me. Turns out he didn't work there. Jeff comes in again a few weeks later and gets something for his daughter. I help him find it and ring him up at the register. He begins to ask me questions about my job and make general but, invasive small talk. A few minutes after he leaves we get a phone call. I pick up the work phone. I recognize his voice. He introduces himself as the "bald guy" I just helped and asks if this is a good time. I figure it's something to do with work and say "of course, how can I help?" He asks me if I'm single! I say no and that I have to get back to work and hang up. What!??? I let my manager know.
University employee (presumably from Facilities, as he had a university jacket) stopped working to tell me "Smile, baby!" He was working with several other men. I had earbuds in, which he pro a l I gave the man a disgusted look and walked away. The man apologized in a "oh, I'm sorry you were offended" manner.
My friend and i went to our local community centre to see a friend of ours that was performing. Remember, my friend and I are only 16. We were both dressed wearing simple simple modest clothing that was not tight or revealing as its still winter and its cold at night. We left after our friend had played and walked about 5 minutes down the street to McDonald's. On our way we were stopped at traffic lights and 2 cars had drove past and honked their horns and were catcalling at us out the window. We didn't let this phase us, continued to trek McDonalds, ate our food, and left.
As we are walking back the same set of traffic lights we are stopped by two middle aged men, we try keep our eyes on the destination, ignore their stares and not seem phased until one of them tries to high five me and hold my hand, this was really awkward. They compliment us and ask us where the nearest liquor store is and if we could walk there with them, we denied, said a polite goodnight and kept walking. We were both really scared at this point because silly us go walking alone at night, we've already had men stop us and we aren't even halfway back yet.
So we're about 2 minutes away, the centre in plain eyesight, 2 drunk men are approaching us, we move to the opposite side of the footpath, even contemplate crossing the road, I decide we would only make the men offended and angry if we did that. I whisper to my friend not to make eye contact, keep walking and do not seem phased by them.
They stop us, slurring, speaking to one another about our appearance and what they would do to us if they got the chance. One of them even says to me "no offence to your friend or anything but i'd totally root you" (this is typical Australian slang for sex) For me personally, it was one of the scariest nights i've ever had and i could only imagine what other women older and prettier than me go through on a night out. I felt dirty and downright disrespected having men I don't even know comment and say disgusting sexual things to my face. I could also honestly write that if i had said what was actually on my mind instead of a simple "ok, thats enough, have a good night guys" me or my friend would have gotten verbally/physically assaulted or raped.
This needs to stop!

This was several years ago now, but my freshman year of college I would commute by walking down my street and catching a public transport bus to campus. On three separate occasions while walking home I was catcalled at. The first time was from two guys in a car going the same direction as I was (so they didn't even see what I looked like from the front), and the passenger stuck his head out of the window as they passed, trying to get a better look at me, and stretched his arm towards me as if asking, "What, you're not even giving us a response?" The second time I was walking on the other side of the street and I got yelled at from the passenger of a car coming from the opposite direction in which I was walking, and that made me even more tense since I saw them more clearly than the other guys. The third time was from a school bus with middle school-aged boys who yelled, "Nice ass." In all three cases I didn't outwardly react at all because I was afraid of provoking them further, but I felt extremely uncomfortable, angry, and confused-on none of the days had I been wearing anything even remotely revealing, tight, or "provocative," though even if I had, that would not have been any excuse. The middle schoolers made me particularly angry and sad because it showed how these harmful behaviors and views of women are being pushed even at young ages.
The saddest part was when I complained about the catcalling on Facebook, and a female friend of mine said, "You should be flattered 'cause it means you're attractive!" This is by no means the kind of attention I want, nor the type of people I want to be attracted to me, and telling someone to be flattered by harassment is absolutely the wrong response to harmful ideas and actions concerning women's sexuality.

A young man in a small burgundy car yelled something about his penis and "having the papers to prove it", and then, "Suck my cock." I wish I could have called the police, but they sped away and I did not get the license number. This happens to me every few months, and it makes me feel unsafe in my small community.
I am pretty typical in build, appearance, dress, etc. There is no reason to target me. None. If this happens to me fairly frequently, it makes me wonder how often it happens to more vulnerable members of my community, or those who appear "different".
I don't have much of a story. I just wanted to document this. It gives me a bit of power in a situation that otherwise leaves me feeling powerless.

I went for a walk yesterday afternoon in my residential neighborhood to enjoy the beautiful fall day. A car came up behind me, honking the horn obnoxiously. As it passed me, I saw 2 or 3 men inside, and one of them shouted something unintelligible through the open window. Then they sped off…like cowards! I didn't have my phone on me, or I would have snapped a picture of their license plate. Once and for all, street harassment is not about trying to pay a compliment or just being nice. It's about making it very clear that the harasser's time and space are far more important than the victim's. And that's bull.

At the time i was 15-16 i was alone going to a bus stop and this guy followed me there and asked me where the streetcar is and if i can show him, i said there is none here… Then he walks away and comes back and asks me to bring him to the subway i said no and he's just staring at my boobs then he left and i called my friend crying and he came running back and i screamed "leave me the fuck alone or I'll kill u!!" And he just came so close to me in the bus shelter staring at my boobs and my crotch and i told him to leave and he just stood there, slowly walking away. I was screaming cry cause i was alone then these couple came to the bus stop and i felt relived and he asked me whats wrong, i told him , and he said the same guy did the same thing to his gf across the street and said if he came back he would kick his ass so i felt safe. The next morning i woke up to go pick up my phone from a store and the same dude was infront of my condo and tried to hug me i dodged it and ran as fast as i could to a school and called the cops, when i was talking to the police they got a message that they arrested him half way through the interview. I also went downtown to hand out resumes and i needed to push a button to get into this one store, and the guy let me in and he was the only one working, he was like 60 and called me beautiful and was rubbing my leg asking if i was a virgin and he tried raping me.. I was 15!! I ran as fast as i could out of the store hoping i didnt need him to open the door for me to leave, i ran across to the grass and started crying and called the police. Other then that I've had about enough of this shit feeling unsafe going anywhere. I've had men on subways stalk me i have seen men just stare at me or down my shirt, I've also seen a guy masturbate on the subway and laughed about it thinking it was hilarious everyone saw and there were kids there… Like wtf?

Designer Asa Karner of Alvi Design recently unveiled her Alvisilkchair at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. The beautiful geometric chair has been built from FSC certified oak and is threaded with environmentally friendly silk tightened to a simple frame.
Formed from a series of planar surfaces that act as a back and rest, the Alvisilkchair is a playful and original take on seating. As Experimenta aptly points out, the designer's inspiration for this lightweight, ethereal chair comes directly from wooden looms, making it a celebration of one of Sweden's famed traditional crafts.
Karner's design process is based upon the use of "environmentally friendly materials with a focus on sustainable production methods and humane working conditions".

I haven't seen the poor guy in about 100 games, and I miss him. He needs some sort of buff, since AD Sion is just a crappier Olaf, and AP Sion is pretty meh compared to any other caster in the game.
Is there any reason to play him anymore? Is he UP? Does he need buffing?
He's just another one of the many champs that is just garbage compared to new champs and champs getting buffs/reworks.
Riots stance is prolly that he's fine, so he will slowly but surely be making his to garbage tier because of this games power creep before they do anything to him.
i played with him last game. he's ok in solo que i guess. everything he can someone else can do better. sorry im not very detailed. im tired...zzzz...zzzz...lol wha-? where am i?
I still love to play AP sion if I feel that he will fill a role my team needs, I have a few changes in mind to make sion a bit more viable. He's not UP but he's just not as strong a pick as say TF or Morgana etc.
I'll post my suggestions if anyone is interested
I think the major thing that needs changing is his passive, right now its one of the weakest in game, only slightly better than double strike IMO

Amazon spends more on sales tax ballot
- Staff San Francisco Business Times
Amazon.com Inc. has put more money more into getting a measure on the June 2012 ballot that would repeal California's new law requiring online retailers to collect sales tax, the Bay Citizen reports.
Filings show that Amazon made a $2.25 million campaign contribution on Aug. 10, adding to $3 million the company spent in July.
The campaign is being run by a group called More Jobs Not Taxes. State records show that so far Amazon is its only contributor, the Bay Citizen notes.

Some guys eat specific meals before games or listen to a particular song. Others take a nap at the same time each game day or insist on kicking around a soccer ball before lacing up their skates. And all -- well, at least those who can grow one -- know better than to shave their beards during postseason play.
Superstitions run wild in the hockey world. From players to fans, everyone seems to have their own ritual before a game. Including this dog.
Meet Ivy, who's clearly exhausted from giving the Blackhawks their 2-1 Game 7 win over the Red Wings on Wednesday. Just how did she do that, you may ask? By relieving herself on Patrick Sharp's lawn prior to game time.
Yep, Ivy and her owner Shannon live in the same neighborhood as Sharp, and it just so happens that when the pup leaves a surprise on No. 10's lawn, the Blackhawks win. Really. But don't worry, in an interview with the Eric and Kathy Morning Show, Shannon made sure to add she always cleans up the little surprise.
Ivy's job is not about to get any easier as the Blackhawks prepare to face the Kings in the Western Conference final, but if there's anyone who can get the job done, it's her. On Saturday, Ivy's quest continues to not only be man's best friend, but also the Blackhawks' best friend. Especially Sharp's.

I found the characters were unlikeable and the storyline incoherent. I gave up after 85 pages.
A compelling first novel by an award-winning Canadian playwright. MacDonald knows how to set scenes that leave you breathless--with laughter, deep recognition, or shock! She portrays the earliest years of our country's century, following the lives of four Nova-Scotian sisters in and out of the tangled web of their shared past, present and future. Don't miss this!
I found the description of the sexual child abuse offensive and although I read this book to the end, the story line did not make sense most of the time which showed the author's lack of experience writing novels. I would not recommend this book to others.
SPOILERS ------I hated Mercedes from the start, I actually disliked her more then the father and he was a sick bastard. Don't use god as an excuse for anything. Hating your sisters because people like them for them even if one of them is rottenly bad. She never did anything because she was nice she did it because she wanted something out of it. And why did she tell Adalaide no to giving her and Ginger the baby, why was it better to leave him in that home? Why would you tell your sister her baby died, when you can see that, that was what finally made her happy. That's pure selfishness, and had nothing to do with God. The only part that was good was that she finally made the family tree the correct way, even if Frances had to fight to get her to hear the truth. PS Frances was my favorite.
I didn't get it. I do not like the composition of the book, lengthy description of "girls' games". I do not know if this is good or bad, but I could not read beyond half of this book.
An absolute Must Read!! Tugs at your emotions and I found myself unable to put it down. Fabulous!
I loved this book just as much when I read it the second time. Compelling story with such incredibly flawed characters. It's funny how much I liked it when none of the characters are at all likeable.
Great read! I was hooked from page one. The story moved quickly and kept me enthralled every minute.
Highly recommend.
this is a test
I had to stop reading this book. What is up with so many of Oprah's Book Club novels being utterly depressing?! If I am going to read a book I don't want to have to suffer through a fictional character's misery without any relief.
SummaryAdd a Summary
A complex story of lust, betrayals and long-held secrets, set in Cape Breton. The saga begins in 1899 when James Piper, 18, elopes with Materia Mahmoud, 13.

Winnebago County Board moves to fill open seat
Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott H. Christiansen recently extended his congratulations to John Sweeney on becoming part of the Winnebago County team in the role of facilities coordinator.
Sweeney has been a dedicated County Board member of the people in District 14 for many years.
Sweeneys strong commitment to results when representing the people in District 14 will serve him well in his role as he transitions into his position as facilities coordinator, Christiansen said. Sweeney, and his leadership, will be missed on the County Board.
The vacancy created by Sweeneys departure presents a challenge to the Board to fill his seat quickly, and provide a seamless transition for the benefit of his constituents.
Christiansen has suggested Frank Gambino to fulfill the vacancy until the November election.
Gambino has expressed interest in becoming a board member, and he filed in District 14 as a Republican candidate for County Board. Gambino accepted the appointment, pending the appropriate approval process.

I love these shoes! They go with everything. The colour on the site is very true to life. I walked up and down hills and across town in my city in them this weekend and my feet were fine. I say that they run small simply because I have very narrow, size 9.5 feet, and the size 10 I bought fits like a glove. I did get a couple blisters on my toes, but I think that's standard because my toes aren't used to being rubbed on the top where the peep toe opens. I LOVE THESE.

Can anyone tell me what kind of plant this is?
Hi! I'm wondering what kind of plant the variegated philodendron-looking thing in the front is. I'm guessing it's a type of philodendron, but I'm failing at finding it online. Anyone have any idea? I love it and want one for myself.
Normally I would just sneak a cutting and get one that way, but this is in the lobby of a swanky office building full of security guards who would probably not look kindly on me slicing on the plants. :)
Any help greatly appreciated!
- Katie
We call "sneaking a cutting " stealing. If that's your normal behavior (your word, not mine), do you act that way at your friends' homes, a favorite restaurant, a local botanical garden, or (even worse) a garden center?
Businesses like the swank office building will use the services of a florist or interiorscaping firm. Witb a little bit of sleuthing, a person could track down the name of that company and, contact them, and ask for the identity of the plant you admire.
Then, you can obtain the plant the way that the rest of us do....we buy it. Can't afford all of the plants that you'd like to have? Do without until you can. THAT'S "normal "!
As far as the identity of the plant goes, I'm tempted to say that it's one of the new Aglaonema cultivars. If Toni, sees this post, she is a likely candidate to be able to ID the plant....and probably tell you some good mail order options.
The variegated Philodendron looking thing is just that a Philo which I learned here is called Brazil. I believe Meyer Mike has shown it as had I. I still have a bit of it left.
As to the sneaking a piece business, yes I do agree it's stealing & as we're pretty serious tho' mostly amateur gardeners, we frown on it.
Think about how you might feel if several people did that to plants you've grown, I don't think you'd see it so mildly.
Make plant friends to trade with or sometimes ask where you see a plant you admire. Often folks are happy to share a cutting or two when asked.
#5 Bromeliad leaves?
Agreed, individuals are usually quite generous with their plants that are big enough to share. Probably nobody to ask at an office building but, like Rhizo said, corporate plants are a business, not somebody's hobby.
Searching member pages can also help you find those who have this plant for trade, possibly for postage.
Number 5 is a bromiliad (like number 4).....I can see the flower hiding away. For some dumb reason, I thought he/she was talking about the Aglaonema....I guess that that's the one that attracted me. :-) Do you know which it is, purp? There are so many new Aglaonema varieties in recent years.
Me too, it's a beauty! I don't have a pink one... yet.
I try not to get involved with cultivar names, unless they're as specific as Philo 'Brasil' or reliably part of a specific plant name, like some Dracaenas. Too much temptation to collect by name, and if it didn't come with a tag, like you said, so many look so similar, there's no way to ever know for sure. If I like it and it looks different, I get it, trying to ignore the cultivar names on stuff like Ags, Sans, Begonia, spider plants, most Philos. I just want to know the species so I can care for it. You would know much better than I, aren't these the kind of names that can go to a same plant but vary by wholesaler/grower? Does it have to do with longevity/proven stability? From what I can see, there's maybe 8-10 truly different looking Ags, but about 100 names...?

Earlier this school year, I announced the wonderful news about the Men's Glee Club being selected to perform at the 2015 National American Choral Directors Association Conference in Salt Lake City in February. This prestigious invitation was last extended to the Club in 1997. This repeated honor speaks to the history of excellence that is at the heart of the Men's Glee Club—a history YOU helped us build.
One of our core goals is to make MGC accessible for every person, and therefore, we strive to cover the costs for every clubber to participate. The performance at the 2015 National ACDA Conference will cost approximately $1,000 per person. We need your help to get them all there. Your tax-deductible donation will give the members of the 2014-15 Glee Club an experience they will never forget.
If you sponsor a student's full cost at $1,000, we will list you as an ACDA sponsor in our Spring Hill ... Continue Reading
Join us in our 155th Annual Fall Hill Concert in Hill Auditorium
On November 22, we will debut this year's repertoire which includes several world premier pieces. We have been working tirelessly to prepare for this concert and be assured, you will be able to tell. The pieces we have selected to perform span a large variety of what is available for male choirs. Some of the songs you hear will be performed on a national stage in February of this year at the American Choral Director's Association conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We are honored to announce that the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club has been invited to perform at the American Choral Directors Association 2015 National Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. The conference is expected to bring 10,000 attendees to Salt Lake City, Utah and will utilize downtown venues that include the Salt Palace, Abravanel Hall, the Capitol Theater, the Cathedral of Madeleine, the First Presbyterian Church, Assembly Hall and the Mormon Tabernacle. The Glee Club hoped to be accepted into this prestegious conference this year and we are excited to be performing.
The Glee Club had a great time performing in Dayon, OH two weeks ago for our Winter Tour. We've received pictures from Dave Grupe, an alumnus of the Glee Club, who was a great help in planning the Dayton concert. Check out the pictures on our Facebook page, and while you're there, make sure to like us!
As we continue to approach our concert this Friday in St. Joseph, Michigan, we're being featured in a local radio ad that will be playing this week advertising our concert. Check it out on our SoundCloud account
On Friday, January 31st, the Glee Club will start its winter tour with a concert in St. Joseph, Michigan. Mr. Dana Wales, adviser at Dana Wales & associates and alumnus of the Glee Club, has been kind enough to sponsor an 18 minute segment about the Glee Club on WSJM, a local radio station. This segment can be found at this link. We'd like to thank Mr. Wales for his generous support and hope all who are in the area can come see what is sure to be a great concert!
The Glee Club would like to announces its publishing of an interactive timeline on our website! Our major media manager Billy Cedar along with our historians Sakib Jabbar and Jon Bohenick have been working hard to compile a virtual journey through the history of the Glee Club. This will be constantly updated as we receive more information from the Bentley Historical Library and from any alumni who might have their own stories or materials to share.
The Glee Club has been quite busy the last two weeks as we have been enthusiastically contacting all of our alumni as part of our Phone-A-Thon Engagement Drive. It certainly has been a rewarding experience across the board; both our new clubbers and the alumni they've called have been very conversational and excited to be in touch with the members of Club 154.
We have re-focused the fundraising drive that comes with Phone-A-Thon to be in line with our new organizational case statement. Since we are in the Fall Semester and our cohort of New Clubbers have only just begun to receive their tuxedos, we've been especially concentrated on improving the Club's Appearance Endowment. The Appearance Endowment is charged with improving the accessibility of the Glee Club by removing (if not someday eliminating) the financial boundary for new and prospective members that comes with the purchase of concert attire.

The Michigan Men's Glee Club has accepted an invitation to perform at the 2014 MusicFest Canada in Vancouver, BC, on May 15, 2014.

It's here! The CD that will forever memorialize the combined concert featuring the Harvard, Michigan, and Yale Glee Clubs is ready for purchase.
Dr. Eugene Rogers and his production cohort have been working tirelessly to produce this phenomenal work which showcases the talents and abilities of all the choirs involved and their expression of traditional and new musical ideas.
The Men's Glee Club is incredibly excited to bring you this piece and hopes that it will be enjoyed wholly by students, alumni, parents, and anyone who has an appreciation for quality choral music in the collegiate tradition.
Please consider purchasing your copy directly from the Club. A big round of snaps to our contemporaries, the Harvard and Yale Glee Clubs for joining us in this unique musical experience.

We're headed out of town on a surprise trip for our family, but will be back soon! There might be a small delay in email and phone communication. You can follow our adventures on instagram I'm @kellykuntz. Until then I will leave you with a sweet little baby, my best friend's new tiny little daughter. She is so easy going and tiny, a full 2 lbs lighter then my monster babies!
Raise your hand if it's your birthday! (Or if your birthday was 3 months ago ;-)) Miss K invited me out the week of her birthday to capture her sweet spunky attitude and watch her eat some cake for the first time! Her mama did such a wonderful job planning her photography session. She had a lot of little details like her heels and pearls from her wedding day, a banner from her newborn session and more. The session was really so much fun. When it was time to dive into her cake she was a bit hesitant and then had a little wrestling match with it. In the true spirit of the cake smash she made a good mess with a little coaxing from mama. After a bath and a nap we bundled up and headed out into the frigid winter weather (quite unlike the weather Bozeman is currently experiencing) for a few Christmas card pictures. This weekend I was going through some boxes and found one of the first pictures I had taken of Miss K's daddy in Bozeman High School photo class seventeen years ago!Kelly Kuntz is a baby and family photographer in Bozeman, MT contact Kelly Kuntz Photography for more information about Bozeman cake smash photography.
Wow! After some down to the wire voting FOUR winners emerged for Pic of the Year! Hooray! Congratulations to Mama and baby who are the grand prize winners of a Kelly Kuntz Photography Family session and digital package. Congratulations to the First Prize winners, 2nd place in the popular vote was a TIE and the winner chosen by panel of professional photographers, T family, little boy K and P Family. They will each walk away with a medium canvas from their session. Congratulations to these families and thank you to everyone who participated and voted.
The leaves this fall were just glorious, and I was so excited this family called to book photos of their family at home playing in the leaves under their favorite tree. Sweet little sister was a gem and so easy to photograph. Big brother wasn't too impressed with this new lady coming into his home, but like most kids he couldn't stay annoyed at me long and pretty soon he was smiling, joking and laughing along with the rest of us. I mean seriously who can stay mad while riding your bike through a giant pile of leaves? Kelly Kuntz is a family photographer in Bozeman, MT contact Kelly Kuntz Photography for more information about Bozeman family photography. Fall family photography sessions tend to book up very quickly. If you're thinking of a fall (October) session this year please book as soon as possible.

More about Hot Yoga
Award Winning Studio
New Year: New You
How might Steamtown Yoga help you?
What a great experience! Being new to hot yoga, I was concerned if I could handle the heat. After my first class, I craved the heat! The classes are intense and therapeutic, for both the mind and the body. It is a great workout to release the toxins and improve the body. Lara and John, the owners, are welcoming, informative and so positive! The teachers are very helpful and guide newbies all the way. The vibe there is amazing. I highly recommend SHY.
~Danielle Fleming
I started right after having my 3rd child. After seeing the results, I only wish I had discovered yoga much sooner. I am a better mother. I am a better person. I can give so much more to my family and others around me because I feel good about myself inside and out.
- Lynn Laboranti
SHY is an excellent studio with an even more amazing staff. I started doing yoga for an ongoing headache issue, but have found that it helps me in more ways than I would have ever imagined. I recommend this studio for anyone even slightly interested in yoga, you will not be disappointed! Namaste
-Aniell Nyzio
Hot Yoga really has changed my life. I have lost 15 pounds, relieved of ALL neck and back pains and am more focused. I walk a little taller, feel more energized and have way more confidence in decisions made, personally and professionally. Once you start, you will not want to stop!! Many many many thanks
-Scott Revord
(Graduate of our 200 hour teacher training program.)
Weight loss and a greater sense of self are by far the biggest accomplishments that I have achieved. I am truly grateful for Lara and the studio. Lara has provided a true home away from home that inspires all to reach their true potential.-Laura Wolfe, pictured at left today through yoga and at right before yoga
I've had 4 major spine surgeries. One of which has caused me to become even more crooked. I'm very self conscience of the way I look. ( except at Steamtown Yoga ) Truly the most judge free place and people that anyone will ever meet!!
You can have the most stressful and miserable day of your life. Walk into Steamtown Yoga. Pounds aren't the only thing to melt away. You won't even remember that you had a bad day.

Slipknot Offer Album-by-Album Retrospective in New 'Audiobiography' Short Film
Slipknot have released 'Audiobiography,' a new documentary that gets extremely personal.
Slipknot have released 'Audiobiography,' a new documentary that gets extremely personal.
If you've been to a Slipknot show, you know how intense 'Spit it Out' can be in a live setting.
Corey Taylor, who fronts both Slipknot and Stone Sour, and currently describes himself as "one of the most hated dudes right now."
Listen to Slipknot's new disc in its entirety before it's released on Oct. 21.
Here's another new Slipknot song from the band's soon-to-be-released fifth studio album, '.5: The Gray Chapter.'
From the band's highly anticipated fifth studio album, '.5: The Gray Chapter,' today's new cut is 'Killpop.'
10-year-old Leonardo Constantius chose to jam 'Chop Suey!' and 'Sulfur' for a presentation at school.
Slipknot's camel dung scent may not be wafting through the air at Knotfest due to local regulations.
The band's latest from '.5: The Gray Chapter' is titled 'AOV' and it feels like a cut reminiscent of Slipknot's 'All Hope is Gone' period.

Hilltop Farm Dairy Barn (1914)Monday, September 29th, 2014 Posted in Colonial Revival, Outbuildings, Suffield | Comments Off
Hilltop Farm, located between Mapleton Avenue and the Connecticut River, just south of the Massachusetts border in Suffield, was developed in the early twentieth century as a country estate and gentleman's farm by George Hendee, the co-founder of the Indian Motocycle Corporation of Springfield, Mass. Hendee devoted the farm to raising prize dairy cows and poultry. He developed a prize herd of Guernsey cows known as Hilltop Butterfats. In 1913, Hendee began assembling the property for his farm, which by the 1920s had grown to nearly 500 acres. His large manor house, built in 1916, was torn down in 1961 to make way for the sprawling campus of St. Alphonsus College, later occupied by the Lincoln Culinary Institute. The largest and most impressive surviving building from the estate is a massive Dairy Barn (18,700 square feet), constructed by Hendee in 1914. The architect of the manor house, Max Westhoff, may also have designed the barn, which has been called a "Monster Barn" and "Connecticut's Agricultural Cathedral." A two-story, Colonial Revival-style building, it is a ground-level stanchion barn with a high drive entrance. Two cylindrical silos flank the entrance on either side.
Later owners subdivided the farm. The parcel containing the barn was part of the former farm that was acquired by Pinnacle Developers in 1999. After local protest about the developers' plans to build an assisted living facility on the land, Pinnacle sold 127 acres, including the barn, to the Town of Suffield. In 2004, the town sold 7.9 acres, including the barn and other farm buildings, to Educational Properties LLC, which owned the neighboring culinary school (aka the Suffield Conference Center). Educational Properties provided a renewable 99-year lease on the barn to the Friends of Hilltop Farm, which eventually purchased the building in 2013. The organization is restoring the barn and leases 65 acres of adjacent open space owned by the Town of Suffield. The property is now dedicated to agricultural and educational purposes.
Westport Bank and Trust Company (1924)Friday, September 26th, 2014 Posted in Banks, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Westport | Comments Off
At 87 Post Road East (at the intersection of Church Lane) in Westport is a flatiron-type building built in 1924 to house the Westport Bank and Trust Company. The bank was founded in 1852 by Horace Staples (1801-1897) as the Saugatuck Bank. Soon renamed the First National Bank of Westport, it long occupied offices in National Hall in Westport, which it shared with the Westport Savings Bank, founded by Staples in 1863. The two banks merged in 1913 and eleven years later moved into the new building, designed by Charles E. Cutler (1881-1962), in the developing downtown east of the Saugatuck River. The building, later home to Hudson United Bank, has two large (10'x12′) murals that are reminiscent of works of the WPA-era. The murals were painted in 1965 by Robert L. Lambdin (1886-1981), a local artist, and depict scenes from Westport's history. They are entitled Shipping on the Saugatuck and Hotel Square. In 2005 the building was restored as mixed-use retail space by David Adam Realty, which saved and refurbished the original exterior, terrazzo flooring, murals and four of the five bank vaults.
270 Sigourney Street, Hartford (1916)Monday, September 22nd, 2014 Posted in Apartment Buildings, Colonial Revival, Hartford | Comments Off
The apartment building at 270 Sigourney Street in Hartford was built in 1916. It is a four-story structure. On two sides it has four tiers of wooden porches featuring "Chinese Chippendale" balustrades.
Frank E. Aldrich House (1920)Saturday, September 20th, 2014 Posted in Cheshire, Colonial Revival, Houses | Comments Off
Frank E. Aldrich purchased the lot at 254 West Main Street in Cheshire in 1919. Probably by the next year he had built a Colonial Revival house that also has features of the Neo-Classical (the columns) and Craftsman (exposed rafters) styles.
Charles H. Curtiss House (1910)Friday, August 29th, 2014 Posted in American Foursquare, Bristol, Colonial Revival, Houses | Comments Off
The house at 331 Main Street in Bristol, built c. 1910, is listed as the Curtiss House in the nomination for the Federal Hill Historic District. Around 1918, Charles H. Curtiss, 331 Main Street, was secretary of Local No. 50, Order of Railway Conductors of America. Curtiss had earlier (c. 1910 to c. 1914) lived at 265 Main Street in Bristol. Charles H. Curtiss (1864-1922), a Democrat, served in the state house of representatives from 1919 to 1920.
Holy Cross Polish National Catholic Church (1935)Sunday, July 20th, 2014 Posted in Churches, Colonial Revival, Enfield | Comments Off
The Polish National Catholic Church was established in 1897 by Polish-Americans who were Roman Catholics but were unhappy with the Catholic Church hierarchy of the time. The PNC Church today seeks full communion with the Holy See, although it has important theological differences. Holy Cross Parish, part of the Eastern Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church, was organized and built a church at 723 Enfield Street in Enfield in 1935.
Pythian Building (1874/1938)Saturday, June 14th, 2014 Posted in Colonial Revival, Commercial Buildings, Middletown, Organizations, Renaissance Revival | Comments Off
The building at 360 Main Street in Middletown was built circa 1873-1876 to replace an earlier structure, a hotel called that Kilbourn House, that had burned down. The new building served as a hotel, known as the Farmer's and Mechanic's Hotel and later the Hotel Chaffee. In 1905 the building was sold to the Pythian Building Corporation. From then on, the first floor has contained retail businesses (Woolworth's was here in the 1920s and 1930s). The second floor was converted for office use and the third floor became the meeting space of the Knights of Pythias, a fraternal organization. The Pythian Building's current facade, with marble and large windows on the first two floors and a Palladian window on the third story, dates to 1938.
